Vm Ft 'I 11 it I A STORY OF REAL LIFE By WARRINGTON ABERT Copyright, 1910. by American Press Association. Strange Incidents hare brought about marriages, but tbe strangest of all was that which served to ttnjte ruo nnd my wife. If I hadn't opened a certain, book on a certain day I should either havo remained a bachelor or married teomc one else. Had I opened that samo book a day cnrllcr there would Jtavo been no eucIi effect.

1 could not havo opened It a day Inter, for 1 have never sliico been in the room where It was kept I was at the time curate of a church In a small but aristocratic town. My salary was $000 a year. I had heard Etorlcs of girls setting their caps for unmarried clergymen, but I saw no evidence of the truth of theso stories In my own case. Most of tho girls of tho congregation were daughters of well to do, some of them rich, parents. "Whether the girls did not encourago me because they were aware that I had nothing but my salary or because I was not especially attractive to them I don't know.

Tho fact remains that I was not encouraged. I thought at the tlmo that my sermons wcro a trlflo too heavy for their Intellects. I was given to philosophic thought, and my thoughts found a vent In my homilies. I could sco from tho want of nttcntlon of these girls when I was preaching that they wcro thinking of tho set of their garments, the appearance of their lints nnd such matters rather than of tho Ideas I was endeavoring to convey to them. But there was one young lady whom I noticed fixed her nttcntlon upon mo from the time I began to speak until I had finished.

I would havo been at a loss to know whether her Interest was in my remarks or mo had she not tho moment I had concluded my sermon turned to her hymn book or her pocket-book for the collection, seeming to forget nil about me. As she was tho only lady in the church with a fortune in her own right never dreamed of marrying her, though she was rather good looking and a very estlmnblo person. Of course I had the entree to her home, nnd many pleasant evening or afternoon I spent with her chatting npon subjects that wero ngreeablo to me and sepmed to be agreeable to her. fiho appeared to be pleased to start me talking and sat with some fancy work In her bunds listening. At that tlmo I supposed a man entertaining to women to be one who could talk well.

I havo elnco learned that good listener would be his moRt dangerous rival, lint tho lady did not seem to care to talk herself, leaving me to do It all. This kind of chat nbout ideas is a vory poor conductor for any warming of the heart. Love is not intellectual. A rhinoceros may love, but rhinoceros is not a thinker. Birds but they don't reason us to where they will tmlid their nest.

Instinct tells them how nnd where to do that. I never made a start ou saying nnythlng tender. 'To do so did not occur to inc. A curate with nothing but a petty salary to make love to a girl with fortune in her own right! 1 should expect to bo turned out of the houso nnd probably my pastorntc at such presumption. I received call that would glvo me no more salary, but I considered tho Held a belter ono tlinn the one I occupied.

I wished to bo a worker as well as a preacher. In tho parish whero I waB there were few poor peoplo and consequently llttlo good to bo dono timong thoso who moat need, to my thinking, a clergyman. I accepted tho cull uud tho evening beforo my departure for my new Held called upon tho young Inily who hntl shown ho much appreciation of my Intellectual endowments. 1 hud homo now nnd, ns 1 thought, original points to bring up by which I hoped to lcavo Haul Impresslou. In tin1 midst of my presentation of my views my friend rose and asked to lie excused for a fuw mumi'iils.

I was a (rllle put out, for I had reached an important turn In what I was saying. Since she did not return nt ouco I cast about for something to look over whllo waiting. 1 sat beside a table, and on this table was a single book. Taking it up, I opened It, It was a trashy novel. Turning over tho leaves, I enmo upon a piece of paper on which was written an unfinished note.

1 was about to put it nsldo when my eyes caught my own name. Beforo my Idcus of right had time to cryslalllzu I had seen enough to compel me to sou more. This Is what I read: "George Dunham goes away tomorrow, nud my heart goes with him. 1 would be happy if he had said ono word from the heart rather than millions from tho bruin. This waste of words" When the writer of this fragment re turned I hud risen and wus looking out of the wludow, She resumed her ocat ns though she expected mo to remiino my intellectual discussion.

Instead I (I red at bcr a whole blunderbuss Joad of the worst love twaddle muu over 4tpoke to woman. Before sending tli(s story to tho printer uh "an Incident from real life" I showed It to my wife. Hhe read It through carefully, I watching her to note its nlTect upon her, 1 expected to sco Indications of surprise. 1 was disappointed, "Stupid!" she exclaimed. "Do you mean to tell me It nover occurred to you that 1 left that note there for you to bcoV" THE SPEAKER'S MACE.

Ancient Emblem Used In the House of Representatives. With all Its dignity. Its senatorial courtesy and tho forms and ceremonies that always are observed, tho senate Is far behind the houso of icpre-fccntatlves In the matter of one antiquated piece of furniture. The senate has no mnce. Now, a maco is not much In tho way of furniture.

It Is a silver cogle mounted upon a staff around which nro bands of silver. This mace is always an emblem of thu houso of representatives. It is the duty of one employee to look after It. Just befoio a session of the houso begins ho takes It from the ollice of the scrgennt-at-nrms Into the house chamber, and as soon us tho speaker's gavel falls he inserts it in a socket In stone pillar at the right of the speaker's chair. The mnce remains there while the house Is in hcssIou and Is taken out and stood beside its pedestal when the house Is in committee of tho whole.

When tho house adjourns the mnce Is carried hack to the ollice of tho scrgeant-ut-arms. This ancient emblem has not a thing to do with the order of business of the house, save as quo of tho old tlmo reg ulations that arc continued. When tho houso is tuibulcnt an olllcer seizes the mace and walks through tho aisles. Only once or twice when the speaker failed to preserve order have I seen an olllcer seize tho mace and walk through tho houso, waving it backward and forwnrd. Possibly the sight of it brought members to their senses and they retired to their seats.

At nil events, that is nbout the only real use for the maco that ever have observed. Washington Cor. St. Louis Star. Lions and Tigers.

It contains somo vory startling information respecting the meaning of tho word Hell. It claims to demonstrate, both from tho Hobrow and the Greek of our Bible, that Hell it not a place of eternal torment, but merely another numo for tbo tomb, tho grave, the state of death.

It effects to show that man wns not redeemed from fnr-off placo of eternal torture, but quotes the Scriptures piovlng that ho wns redeemed from tho grave at the cost of his Redeoim cr's llfo and that tho Scriptural hope, both for tho church and the world, 1b resstirrectlon hope based upon tho death nnd resurrection of Jesus, The book Is certainly worth the reading.
