! Womans foreign Mission*
ary Society
The.November meeting of the
Woman's Foreign Missionary
Sqciety, was held at the home of
Mrs \V L 'Houser on Monday
afternoon. Pleasant weather,
and an increasing interest we
hope, conspired to bring out a
a real good attendance.
It was a pleasure to have pres¬
ent at our meeting, Mrs Dodd,
an interested mission worker
who is stopping temporarily with
M rs W M Kersh.
The committee appointed to
secure new members, reported
five names added to membership
roll; and in recognition of their
signal success, were continued
on duty for yet another month.
Really, an an auxiliary, we are
indebitod to them for efficient
service.
But all of these encouraging
j facts do not, cannot obliterate
j the truth, that we are barely
I rising to the insistent call which
s CO ming from every mission
The cry of the workers,
the cry of the people themselves,
is unceasing and j always , the same
Jki Work more, pray more, give
more and send more laborers”!
Will you hear and will you heed
these pleas?
“The restless millions wait
The light whose dawning
1 Make ill ail things new:
Christ also waits.
But men are slow and late.
Have we done what we could?
Havel? Have you?

The Owner end the Visitor.
His house, the first lie had ever
owned, heirs; nearly llnished, the Flat
bush man went forth one fine after¬
noon to inspect It. lie entered the
front door he observed a well dressed
man standing within, apparently ad
miring'the beauties of construction and
decoration, la an Instant the pride of
the owner swelled within him. Here
was where Jio would make the visitor
verdant with envy and, incidentally,
Intercept a few bouquets for himself.
Stepping up to the stranger, lie re¬
marked:
“It’s a beautiful house, isn’t it? It’.-;
worth every cent of the investment
and a great deal more.”
“You are right,” replied the stranger.
“You are, I suppose”—
“Yes. I’m the owner,” interrupted
the other, "and just let me tei! yon
that there are not many men round
here who own as fine a house as this.”

Tho First Woman Whip.
Who was the, first "femme eochere?"
To the Prime de Metternich, a. lady
of c lit;,- in the fullest meaning of the
word, who flourished under the second
empire, lids honor must be accorded, I
says the London Chronicle. For ini
the days when the woman whip was a |
Lss very dam* rare spectacle frequently Indeed this to l)e daunt* j j
i driving her was phaeton through Paris, seen j
One day two facetious youths took it j
Into their heads to signal to her. “Pst ’ :
cochore!” The princess entered into the j j
spirit of the joke. She drew up. “By
selves. the hour,” “Where?” said the "Bois two, de seating Boulogne.” them- j |
She whipped up without another word
and drove off to the Bois. After a sl
lent tour of something over an hour the
merry twain began to tire and asked
to be put down. “Very good, citizens,”
gaj^ the “coebere,” depositing them and
holding out her hand. “My fare is 300
francs per hour for my poor.” In the
•vent the laugh proved to be on her
aide.
