afford the coach and four or a modern automobile they prefer to sit at home and hurl maledictions at the unkind fates who apportioned things wrong Instead of enjoying- the sightseeing possible by means of street car ride: because they cannot have silks and satins they think not worth while twins do your work lawns or ginghams because they can- not have a brownstone establishment they are

of the young people of Minneapolis was held last evening at St English Evangelical Lutheran church at Chicago avenue and Seventeenth street It was attended by many Lutherans from all parts of the city and the program presented was well worthy of the cause One of the first numbers was a so- Sano solo Verdure from sydn Miss Esther Osborn which was exceptionally well received Mrs Ida 8 Dearborn followed by a reading from part IV of Mr Herbert Anderson assisted by Mf Ernest Erickson at the organ then gave a solo from Schuman But the real purpose of the rally was an address delivered by Rev Frank Jenson of St Paul an enthusiastic Lutheran league worker who assisted in forming the Chicago organization The speaker divided his subject Into three great the history the purpose and the advantage to the church of the Luther league church Is learning but learning said Rev Mr Jenson organized activity Is the essential thing to lasting success first society was formed In 1888 In New York city at the St Peter German Lutheran church Its growth was gradual but steadfast and In 1895 a national organization was effected at Pittsburg where young people from three different Lutheran synods were present Is the purpose of the leagues all over the country not to tear down synods but to create a more harmonious spirit among all synods to bring the people of one faith of one aim and one hope Into closer relationship with each other for too often Lutherans of ggLot tho GOLD DUST use soap for (Bibilm I wish I'd been Methuselah And lived when time was nsw And had flva hubdrod rears

Aloyaius Coll POINTED PARAGRAPHS It Is easier to recover lost money than lost time Perpetual motion seems to be a success as a perpetual failure An old bachelor says -that marriage Is merely a hitch and a- kick The weight of a girl In love may decrease but her sighs increase Shoemakers are not necessarily long lived but they are great tasters A woman never thinks of her husband as a gambler as long as he doesn't lose Love always hold the controlling Interest In a matrimonial partnership Necessity is not only the mother of Invention but the divorced wife of plenty A man loses of money experimenting with schemes to make money without work Man learns from his own mistakes but he never lives long ejiough to complete his education This would be a far more desirable world to live ln were It not for the fact that too many people are always doing the best to do their Chicago News AN ODE Hall geddle Sprig!
