APPEAL TO VANITY SUCCEEDED.
Idea of Church Worker Haa Greatly
Increased Collections.
Hero is n story of a church worker
who stands a pretty good show of
somo day becoming sccrotnry of tho
United States treasury. He serves In
a church that Is popular with young
men. Shortly after ho assumed tho
duties of usher thcro was an apparent
increaso In tho general collections.
At the Bame tlmo It was noticed that
tho young men who attended church
singly or In pairs woro seated, when
ever It was possible, in a pow whero
thero was at least one good-looking
jglrl. At first It was thought that that
circumstance might indicate n posslblo
connection on tho young man's pnrt
with a matrimonial agency, but that
suggestion ho denied Indignantly.
"If you'll Just watch tho collections,"
ho said, "you'll know why I sent them
bo. I'vo kept an eyo on thoso co-edit
catlonal pews and I find thnt any man
will contrlbuto twlco nB much money
to tho church when there la a young
woman sitting beside him to see how
much ho gives. Propinquity mny In
somo such cases promote mntrliuony,
but thnt Is not my lookout. It is tho
collections I nm Interested In."

. Singing Pigeons.
Tho queer Chinese change pigeons
Into song birds by fastening whis
tles to their breasts. Tho wind of
their flight then causes n weird and
plaintive music that Is seldom si
lenced In tho plgeon-hnunted cities of
Peking nnd Canton.
Tho Ilelglnns, great pigeon flyers,
fasten whlHtles bencnth tho wings of
valuable racing cnrrlers. nssertlng thnt
the shrill noise Is a sure protection
against hawks nnd other birds of
prey.
As a similar protection, reeds, emit
ting an odd walling sound, nro fixed
to tho tall feathers of tho dispatch
bearing pigeons of tho German army.

A Boat In a Knapsack.
A Servian named Merchop has de
vised what he terms "a boat In n
knapsack" for army purposes. The
boat Is composed of linen rendered
impermeable by n coating of rubber;
it is provided with oara, which fold
Into ench other to tho size of an or
dinary walking stick, nnd n cork seat,
which also serves to keep It taut
when open. The model enn accommo
date one person only, but larger ones
may bo mado on the same plan for
the conveyance of troops and bag
gage when crossing rivers. Merchep's
Invention has been tried on the Seine
by naval experts, who speak of It in
high terms.
Her Trouble.
Old Mrs. Smith was n chronic com
plainer and was constantly sending
for tho family physician nnd giving
lilm n list of her funded ailments. Ho
always listened quite patiently, but
was getting a little tired of henrlng
tho sntne things over nnd over.
Ono day when the old lady con
sidered hoiself In an unusually bad
way sho sent for tho doctor, nnd, after
going over tho usual list, ended by
saying: "Really, doctor, I do not know
what In tho world Is wrong with me.
I can neither lay nor set."
The doctor looked at her a moment,
then said in a solemn tone: "Madam,
you must bo a rooster."
I have determined to contribute out of my profits, a sufficient sum in addition to the 5 per cent to adopt the following
PLAN
If you purchase one of these pianos from me at the regular net price I will give you a number entitling you to a chance to get your
piano free. 1 here will be but 15 pianos sold on these terms, consequently you will have one chance out of fifteen to get your
PIANO FOR NOTHING
After the fifteen pianos are sold, the drawing will take place, and if you are the holder of the winning number all payments made upon
the piano you purchased will be returned to you, and all unpaid notes of yours, so that the piano will absolutely cost you NOTHING.
The Kohler & Campbell is the most popular medium priced piano in the world loday. Th-re are over So.ooo in use. The price is
within your reach, and the piano is thoroughly reliable and guaranteed by one of tlu- largest piano industries in the East to
"last as long and give as good satisfaction as any piano made, regardless of cost."
This is not a fake scheme; you do not have to count a lot of "dots" nor write a postal card full of sentences, but you get full value for
your investment whether you hold the winning number or nor. The prices are regular, not raised for the occasion, and it amounts simply to
a discount of about 7 per cent to be applied as an advertisement for Kohler & Campbell pianos only. The placing of fifteen pianos in this
way is considered worth more as a r.tanding advertisement, than the same amount applied in any other way. It means CAR LOAD LOTS
next season.
There are no secrets about this drawing. Each customer will know who holds the other numbers, and as soon as fifteen are sold the
drawing may be conducted by the holders themselves.

Work Uplifts.
All business nnd all work should
lift up, nnd not hold down; it should
mako free, nnd not enslave: it
should ennoble, and not degrade. It
!s as honorable to mako shors or
anchors as It Is to paint pictures
or wrlto books. Tho shooniaker
should learn tho secrot through his
work of llndltiR the sandals or man
hood for his own foot. Tho black
smith should learn, through tho mnk

, to nnd tho anchor tliut Is to hold his
own soul to fho truth amid tho storms
of life. Rev. J. W. Leo, D. D.
