MASS MEETING.
Mens’ Mass Meeting Held at The
Brethren Church Sunday.
The men's meeting held at the
Brethren church Sunday afternoon
was a decided success. The church
was well filled with attentive listen
ers and throughout the whole service
the spirit of real devotion prevail
ed. Mr. Jones headed a quartet of
men who rendered several beautiful
selections of sacred music. Kev.
Brooks, the presiding officer, read a
few selections of Bible lessons and
introduced the first speaker. Rev
N'nnninga.
The theme of his talk was. “The
.Message of the Church to The Men
of Today.” In outlining this thente
the speaker presented the superior
ity of tile church, the stability of tin'
church, and the mission of the
church. The closing part, the appeal
of the church is making to the men
of today, men, clean men, loyal
men, active men, men who dare to
stand for the right; a laity with
leadership and ability to teach in
tlie Sunday schools and active in
every department of church work.
The address delivered in a warm
hearted and earnest spirit was well
received Rev. Day followed in a
very happy vein. Mr. Day shows
that he is at home when he talks
to men. The Tribune believes that
a meeting of this kind at stated
periods during the year cannot fail
to do good.

TONS OF WASTE PAPER DAILY
Stupendous Quantity That Is All the
Time Being Discarded as With
out Further Use.
Hearing of processes for the reels
tlon of waste timber brings to mind
the tremendous quantity of paper daily
thrown aside as useless. An office of
ordinary size produces at least a ton
of waste paper in a month, which is
disposed of at a price ranging from
$5 to $10. The purchasers of this of
fice by-product feed it to machines
that bundle the paper by a sort of
hay-press process, and the magic of
machinery returns tlie soiled scraps
in pristine whiteness. Waste paper
has become so much a matter of
course that new offices are built with
a papershed, a contrivance for caring
directly for this waste. In some busi
nesses this product amounts to hun
dreds of tons in a year, and where the
amount is large, as in a city printing
office, it is gathered every day.
In addition to the paper of commer
cial and manufacturing concerns,
there is the constant waste going on
in every home, which would aggregate
thousands of dollars every year if ac
eounted for in the economics of the
country. Possibly, when the conser
vation commission has disposed of its
big problems, it will find means to
eliminate this source of waste.—Na

CLIMBED LADDER TO SADDLE
Work of Mounting a Horse Something
of a Feat for Ponderous
Gen. Shafter,
"I sen you had something about
Gen. Shafter (he other day," said the j
sergeant, whose service stripes
reached almost to his chevrons. "I
served tinder him many years, but 1
cannot remember when his waist line
\\a less than the 14 mark 'Pecos
Hill.’ we used to cal! him. It was a ,
great, sight to see him mount his
horse. Sometimes ho used to have a
atepl.idder, and it often took two or
derlies to hoist him into the saddle.
When lie was commandant at the Pre
sidio he hit upon a device that put the
stci ladder in the shade and brought
", at relief to his orderlies. At head
quarters the office* opened upon a
broad and high porch. Well, talk
about strategy! Col. —he was colonel
then Shatter saw the possibilities of
the porch. One day ho sent for a
carpenter, who cut out. a section of
the railing. Then the orderly brought
the colonel's war horse alongside the
porcli at tliis opening so that all the
colonel had to do was to step into the
saddle. After that it was up to the
horse.
What Women Should Read.
We women would all be the better
for the reading of Hluebooks. How
ever loud the talk may be about eman
cipation and equality, the fact is that
th<> training of girls remains mostly on
lines which make for narrowness of
outlook. It is nearly always coniined
to a knowledge of the circle of society
in which their parents move. They
are carefully guarded from meeting
anyone with "views;” the novel is the
sole medium available for information
as to the lives of the sets of people
both above them and below them. It
requires a strong individuality to tri
umph over surroundings, and when 1
hear complaints of the intellectual in
ertia of tlie average woman, and that
she cannot be got to read even the
'morning newspaper, instead of joining
In, 1 always wonder how she has
turned out as well informed us she Is.
—"Frances" in London T. P's Weekly.
Queer Perversity of Taste.
In the museum at Stuttggrt the new
section devoted to showing perversity
of taste lias become one of the popu
lar parts of the instituton. Writing
about tliis unique educational feature,
a Brussels paper says: "We can all
sympathize with the authorities for
exhibiting conspicuously bunches of
(lowers made from human hair. What
could ever have induced people to de
vote time to learning how to make
these impossibilities? The curator
should be complimented on holding up
to scorn the pin-cushions in the form i
of kittens and babies, because no j
child can see one of these constantly
in use without having its sense of pity
blunted. And the handkerchiefs with
Zeppelin's portrait on them—are they
intended as compliments or other
wise?"
Virtuous Indignation.
' The reporter who came to see
about the fancy ball was a horrid crea
ture.”
“Why?"
He asked for my picture to publish
with the account and 1 told him indig
nantly 1 did not rare for such notori
ety. Then I had to go out of the
room a minute and forgot my picture,
which was lying on the table near
where he was standing, and—"
"He took it and put it in?”
"X—no, he 1—left it there!”
An Unequaled Feat.
"What an ideal business manager
old Charon would have made for a
theater, instead of being wasted on a
phantom ferry!"
"Why?”
"Because he could make even the
dead heads pay their way.”
Less Dangerous.
"So you don’t guide hunting parties
any more?"
“Nope,” said the guide. "Got tired
of being mistook fer a deer.”
"How' do you earn a living now?”
"Guide lishin' parties. So fer, no
body ain't mistook me fer a fish.”
