I throw tho blowoff lightly and proceed-

•strange as it num score, I received 17 flat
throw downs. 1 caesoled myself, however,
by the thought that I would have been ac-
cepted had I not been too late, The sad
part of it was that somehow the news got
ahead of me that I was coming, and all
along the latter part of my painful journey
,the girls anet me at the yard gate with the

job as bopeless, and, making a bee line for

In every town there is one girl more
beentiful than the rest, sometimes so muola
more beautiful thee the others that she is
?ea a class by herself. That was the case
with Nettie, the Silverton belle. Yet none
of us town boys ever asked her to go to
any of the dances or various entertain-
ments for the simple reason that since
lome of the ordinary girls frequently gave
us the mitten we bad concluded thet she,
-who was beautiful and frequently went

would surely ignore us,
Now, after receiving these 17 refusals I

rI ventured out and went to the postoffice

at the postoffice but Miss Nettie, the belle
of the town, and she really looked a dream.
She and 1 both blushed, then she asked
-why I hadn't gone to the dance.
"What dance'?" said I.
"Oh, haven't you heard about It?"
"No," said I.
"It'e out at Egan's bophouse."
Meantime I had emptied the mail box

lived up my way, so we both blushed again
and walked up, the sidewalk together.
Presently she said, "I don't know velm any

'and I am simply dying to go."
Well, I could feel any pulse jump from
normal to 150 in a minute'and simultane-
ously we asked each other to go to the

cepted. It was quite dark by this time,
and she proposed we go to our barn and
WW1 up my father's old buggy that stood
in the wagon shed, and hurry as fast as
possible to the dance.
The horse ran in the calf pasture back
of the barn, and after a few false moves I
grabbed him by the foretop and hurried
t quietly to the barn where the belle of the
viliage waswaiting on the old buggy seat.

in Silvertou that chickens bath blighted

do, because the dawn broke at 8:30, and,
'nether thing, coons would eat them dur-

divided in our opinions. As my chickens
were as rare as village belles, and I loved
them bath, the case was painful.
We finally compromised by going back
home. We met no ono on the way -no one

ART FOR FARM FOLKS
NOVEL MOVEMENT TO CIRCULATE
PICTURES IN COUNTRY DISTRICTS.
How Miss Tanner Started the. First Travel-
ing Art Gallery and Haw the Work Has
Been Carried on In Wisconsin -Woman's
Clubs Wake It ljp.
A movement to cultivate the artistic
tastes of country people by means of send-
ing circulating art galleries through the
farming distalott has been begun in Wis-
consin. It was in this state, too, that the
idea of traveling libraries originated. The
scheme for traveling pietures is an elabo-
ration of the same idea.
To Miss Mary E. Tanner, a teacher of
art in the Stevens Point Normal school,

"If we car, supply country people with
traveling books, why nob give them trav-
eling pictures too?"

Even pictures from magazines and illus-

them into a top buggy find started out to
rouse a sense of the truly artistic in the
country distriots.
At first tbey went to the schoolhouses
where .they Interested the teaohers in the
movement and enlisted their aid. The
plan usually followed was to call a meet-
ing at the schoolhouse, exhibit the pictures
and give a little talk concerning them.
These art talks proved wonderfully popu-
lar, and the young women were kept busy
furnishing speakers. After the talk the
pietures were distributed, eaoh family
taking one picture and agreeing to return
It after a certain length of time and ex-
change it for another. And that was all
there was to it. In June the pictures were
called in and stored until the following
fall.
After the first season the Women's club
of Stevens Point took up the work and
bas since taken charge of it. Of course
the collection has been materially added
to, and the collecting and distributing are
In the hands of a competent committee.
More than this, the State Federation of
Women's Clubs has decided to start a trav-

In various parts of the state different or-
ganizations are taking up separate phases
of the work. State Senator Stout is to
add pictures to his traveling libraries in
Dann county, too, which is a flattering
indorsement of Miss Tanner's work.
The state federation has appointed an
art interchange committee for the purpose
of collecting reproductions of masterpieces
for circulation among small clubs of wom-
en wbo are renZte from art centers. Club-
women in other states are becoming inter-
ested in the movement and it has been
suggested that a national art interchange
fox. the federation would be a feasible proj-
ect.
Miss Tanner, to whose energy and en-
terprise the success of the movement is
due, has come to be looked upon as an
authority on such matters and is frequent-
ly asked for advice in regard to the start-
ing of such enterprises. She believes that
if the selection of pictures is made judi-
°thusly much can be acconaplished toward
creating an testhetio impulse in country
districts.
"Of course it depends a greatgleal upon
the class of people among whom your
work lies," she says. "If they are not
well educated, I doubt the advisability of
giving them pictures of buildings or his-
toric places. What they want is a picture
which tolls a story, such as Millet's 'An-
gelus' and others dealing with genre
types.
"Pictures o landsoapes and flowers
alwaye prove4popu1ar. Accompanying
each picture should go a slip, telling the
name of the artist, something about his
life, and, if poesible, a little story about
that partloular work, That is where the
educational side a the scheme comes in,
Surely it will loacl to good things. Even
the desire to keow more about the man
who painted the Maar() may lead on to
the reading of books which would other-
wise never be opened. Some day. I want
to see pictures circulated in every public
library, just as books are now."

TURNKEY SHOT A PRISONER.
Desperate John Glassford Brought Down
Prom Jail Wall.
London, Ont., March 21.-A sensation-
al incident occurred at the jail here Sat-
urday. About ten minutes before 1 o'clock
Turnkey Stickles took John Glassford, a
prisoner, to the yard' for exercise. They
had been there only half an hour when
Stickles, happening to look around at the
river, Glassford took advantage of the
momentary ;opportunity and "shinned
up" the water pipe with the agility of a
cat When Stickles again saw him, Glass -
ford was at the top of the wall. The
turnkey shouted to him to stop, but he
paid no attention. Stickles Bred over
Glassford's head, but still the prisoner
heeded him not.
Shot Him in.the Back.
Stickles then saw that extreme meas-
ures were needed, and, shot Glassford in
the back, the ball entering the shoulder,
just below the shoulder blade. The pris-
oner fell over on the roof of the building
as though dead, and was removed by way
of the skylight into the Court House,
and thence to the cell, where he was laid
on the floor. Tile wound proved to be of
a serious nature, and there are but slight
hopes of Glassford's recovery. The "victim
is a desperate man awaiting removal to
the Kingston Penitentiary, to which place
he was sentenced for seven years, at the
last Assizes, for criminal assault on Maud
Blaine, near Wardsville, on Oct. 4 last.
Glassford, after his. first arrest, while
waiting trial, escaped en Oct. 23, when
he climbed up the same pipe as he did on
this occasion and leaped frbm the walls.
He was at liberty for ten days before re-
arrested near Chatham.

the beginning of the Bible to the third
elutpter from the end of it there is the ream

LESSON III. -Beginning of the Ministry
of jeses (Math. Iv, 17-25). Golden Teat,
Math. Iv, 10, "The people whiell eat
derkness sew greet light." As ga dwelt
ati Capernaum they saw the light of His
lite, and wherever Ills people dwell the
light of His life af love and compassion„ at
meekness and lowliness, should be made
manifests Re called Peter and Andrew
and, James and John that Ile might znako
them fishers of men by having theta tole
low Him, One of His last words to Peter,
was, "Follow thou Me" (John xxi, 22).
Lieeeffeet IV. -The Beatitudes (Math. T,
1.12). Golden Text, Math. v. 14, c)1re aro
the lig/at of the world." Mlle, begins WA
discourse, lila first word is "blessed," for
Ile crane to bless and savearid restore, no

eight? Not the proud, the mighty, the
wise and the rich, but the poor in spirit.
This is the key to all true blessedness, and
without it there is none. It la at the foun-
dation of all blessing. IIe became poor for
tem ankes.
itelbeetee V. -Row to Pray (31eth. vie 5-
15). (-leaden Text, Math. vi, 6, "Pray to
thy Father. which is in secret." All life
is lived eitilaer before God or mon, either to
please Gad or man, unto God or untoTelf.
HOW very few live the former, how very
many the latter. Even Christians are
tempted to do good, pray, fast, etc., witt
refereuce to the opinion of their fellows
rather than as in the sight of God. Our
Lord Jesus had but one aim -to glorify the
Father,
Lessort VL -Our Father's Care (Math.
vi, 54-94). Golden Text, I Pet. v, 7, "He
wroth for you." Three times in this les-
son we are told to "take no thought," or
"be not anxious
,
" and the reason given
for this precept is, "For your Heavenly
Father knoweth that ye have need of thous
things." Children of an earthly father
would only grieve their father by anxiety
about their food and raiment. It is his
affair to see to those things. It is theirs
to be good and obedient children, a credit
and a comfort to him.
LESSON VII. -The Call of Matthew
(Math. ix, 9-17), Golden Text, Math. ix,
9, "Follow Me." In chapters viii and ix
we see Him preaching, teaching, healing,
going about doing good. Matthew had
been a receiver for those who kept for
themselves and oared not how mueh they
oppressed the poor, but now he is th re-
ceive in order to give to the poor. He is to
be a channel of blessing between the Great
Fountain and the perishing all about him.
He begins by making a feast lor our Lord,
and that in the presence of His enemies.
Are we ready and glad to honor our Lord,
before His enemies? Do we not care what
men think or say of us if only we can
glorify Him? If so, it is well.
LESSON TILL -The Twelve Sent Forth
(Math. x, 2-15). Golden Text, Math. x,
'Freely ye bave received, freely give."
Let us not forget the three great prayers
which we should ever pray -that Hewoultt
send forth laborers; that He would make
Jerusalem a praise in the earth, and that
He would come quickly (Math: ix, 38; lea.
lxii, 6, 7; Rev. xxii, 20).
LessoN IX. -Warning and Invitation
(Math. xi, 20-30). Golden Text, Math. xi,
28, "Come unto Me all ye that labor and
are heavy laden and I will give you rest."
It is well to remember that privilege in-
creases responsibility, to whom mueh la
given of him shall much be required. If
Ile hs led us to know Him, it is that oth-
ers nay through us know Him too. If He
has caused us to be specially taught in His
word, it is that through us He may teach
others also.
Lessces X. -Jesus and the Sabbath
(Math. xii, 1-13). Golden Text, Math.
xil, 8, "The Son of Man is Lord even of
the Sabbath day." Not days, however
holy, nor ordinances nor institutions, how-
ever anoient and honorable, must be exalt-
ed abdve Him. These Pharisees would.
honor the Sabbath above the Lord of the
Sabbath because they knew Him not. If
we honor anything above Him, it is be-
cause we know Him not. Our motto
must he, "The Lord alone shall be exalt-
Id"Ls(sissoaet. 1, 11, 7)
1CliT1he. Wheat and the Tares
(Math alit, 24-30, 36-43). Golden Text,
Math. xiii, 87, "He that soweth the good
seed is the Son of Man." He sows nothing
but good. seed, the incorruptible seed of
the word, 'which, when received into our
'mares, makes us the good, seed of this par-
able, to be planted in the soil of constant
death to self that the seed may multiply,
fax' except a corn of wheat fall into the
ground and die it abideth alone, but if it
die it bringeth forth :nuch fruit (John xii,
84). The Son of Man is not discouraged
beeatise only a part of the seed bears fruit ,
( and tares grow anaoyag the wheat. Ile
knave that it would be so, but He shall yet
see of the travail of 'His soul, and shall be
satisfied. The earth shall be filled with.
His glory, but not till after the harvest or
end of this age.
LSssolf XIL-John the Baptist Behead-
ed(Math.-ativ'1-12). Golden Text, Prov.
iv, 28, "keepthy heart with all diligence,
fax' out of itare the lesues of life!' The
application of this golden text to the lesson
is'a little difficult, for John's heart was all
right, but there was no use telling Hared
or Herodias to keep their hearts, for they
meld not do it
