The dates are from Nov. 6 to 12, inclusive. Special meetings will be held every night in the local barracks. One special feature of the self-denial week is an appeal which is made to every individual member and fol- lower of -the Salvation Array to deny them- eelves of sonie article of food or clothing, or in some way, so that without Jewelling their regular contributions they may be able to help the self-denial fund.

Big Joe lay childlike in the gutter, pleading for mercy, while "Willie' with his accustomed celerity measured the line by four -yard -strides at the instance of the "blacksnake."
