Was Taking His Pi Its. j
A wonderfully funny story is
told by a certain physician in our
city who was attending young man,
for whom the doctor prescribed pills.
The doctor called on the voung man
at his home thi3 morning and found
his patient in tfce bath tub, where
uporufce exclaimed : ' -
"For Heaven's sake ! Don't you
know you are fixing to kiv yourself?"
- At this the young ian began
trembling and got very nervous and
excited, finally saying, "Why, doc
tordidn't you tell me to Jake these
pills in water ?"
The patient is much better.

Poorly Attended and thelnteiest Way
Relow Par Even the Leader Did Not ;
Appear Wednesday-Jiignt. :
The Staudard started out to do
its part by the Week of Prayer ser
vices It fGo,hm fallen by the way
side. 'Tis a pity. " ,
But we are onjy recording history
and if the people, stop making his
tory we stop publishing it. And
who can blame us ? Nobody, but
those who hang around and deadbeat
the paper.
Tuesday night" the meeting was
at the Reformed church, The
weather was terribly bad. People
could not. venture out, at least they
thought so. This scribe got half
way, and, stepping into a water pud
die where such! ought not to be in a
first class town like this, he went
back home. 'The remarks by Dr;
Parker were yer'y good, we are told.
He made a fine impression. They
eay there Wcre forty who were not
afraid of getting wet and therefore
they went to church. We bear this
is the number of those who attended
the Arion concert given the same
night.
But this is the wav of the world.
Some people can not risk the rard
driving rains we are h. ying, to go o
church, ritk the, ea ne going t a
concert. And there -are some who
will sooner risk it to church thr.u:to
a concert. .; : .'V, .
ThereTere a dozen 01U Wednesday
night at, the Presbyterian church.
The day was so bad, and the night
no better, so people persuaded them
selves that there would bo no ser
vices ; and when the bell did ring
they set about to persuade them
selves that they hadn't timo to get
ready until after the second bell
rang. This is a true bill and will
be so entered. But why not exvcuse
them? The pieacher, the leader,
Rev. Mr. Moose, himself, did no'
show up. He was to talk M)n "Na
tions and their Rulers." That is an
interesting subject and handled in
an interesting, gloves off-style, like
we believe Mr. Moose would have
done had he been there, the enter
tainment and profit of the evening
would have been incalculable.
The Week of Prayer tiss not been
what we all expected ard hoped.
But our defense for our shortcom
mgswill be largely summed up
against the weather
The services tonight will be at
Lay's chapel, Cannon viilej- con
ducted by Rev. M A Smith, of Forest
Hill, assisted by the pastors of
the town. There are lots of people
who Cin go and who ought la go and
is they dou'c they must answei for it.
