For the "Now England atmos

New Kughtnder, descendant of
l'urttun stock who came, over on
the Mayflower, was elected ureal- (
dent.
A presidential eluctlon,' of lute
years, ulvayn has been followed
by some new stylo note keyed to
thu persons or' personalities of thu
new Incumbents of the Whlto
House.
It was thus that "Alice blue"
and "Harding- blue" hud their
vogue us color schemes for femi
nine wear.
This lime, however, It ts the
traits and traditions of Coolldge,
his nasal drawl, his severe outlook
on lifq. his ''common -sense,"
which are to bu used In an effort
to create anew a domund for
things savoring of the "good old
days" when life I was hard und
chairs were, too.
- Ah these cannot be expressed In
personal adornment the note Is lo
be sounded through house furnish
ings, which will revert to styles
even antedating the colonial in
severity of line and lack of comfort.
, If this "New Kngland atmos
tilierr" Idea can be put across It
will mean big business for deal- ra
in antiques, near and real, und for
manufacturers of "genuine copies.
But it will bo a bard life for
carcasses accustomed to the yield
ing Hoflness of overstuffed chairs
and downy davenports.
That, however. Is part of the
idea. We -will be told that mm
virtually, as well as tt nation, wu
huvo become "too soft."
Life in a hoinu furnished in
the "New tenglnnd atmosphere,"
under a government run by a, re
inoarnulion of the undent New

recognize realities again. That

General Stack was wounded in the
abdomen, the band and the foot,
one of the bullets panning under
his lung. From the first his con
dition was serious and there wiih
very slight hope Thursday morning
that he would recover. After an
operation performed Wednesday he
passed a fairly good night but the
loss of blood was so great that two
transfusions were necessary.

The whole country is profoundly
shocked at. the outrage and the
gravliy of the situation is every
where realized. The press de
nounces the crime in the strongest
terms. The Hagloitlist papers
unanimously .declare that Kgypt'd
honor demands the discovery of the
culprits and their exemplary pun
ishment. Nothing, they assert, will
(be neglected, "to wush away the
Moody stain on the country's non

Thus far the assassins have not
been traced, although several ar
rests have been made on suspicion.

Attendance
Is Growing
At Revivals
Reverend Wm. F. Holl,
Lutheran Church, De
livereel Sermon Last
Evening. . .
Thu largest attendance for any
week night of the L'nlon Hevlvnl
Meetings was at the Baptist church
last night, showing clearly that In
to rest In the work Is deepening.
Reverend Win. F. Holl, paator of
the Lutheran church,, was Intro
duced aa the preacher for tho eve
ning. Following a song "Hemem
ber Me," by the Minister's Male
Quartet, he delivered his sermon
"The Sin of Ingratitude," reading
for a Scriptural lesson the familiar
passage of the ten lepers ns record
ed In Luke 17:11-19.
Mr. Holl asked tho question
"What is the difference between
man and the lower orders of Brute
creation?"
Love. Is All.
"The ability to love. In not dlf
rerent," he said. "A gander se
lects a mate and is true to her till
death; some men arc not,
"The largest bird, with tho small
est brain, the ostrich, mates for
life, and If tho mate dies, never
mates again: man sometimes does
not even wait for death to separ
ate before the second mating."
Gratitude Distinguishing Mark ;
"The Grace of Gratitude Is the
distinguishing mark between man
and the beust," contended Mr. Holl.
"To smile, to laugh In appreciation
of the blessing beatowedi upon us
Is human. The jackass la tho only
animal to laugh, and he doesn't
smile when he does It."
Mr. Holl closed with a graphic
description of the disease of leprosy
and the Joy of the ten lepers nji
they .sensed (hp healing power of
Jesus coursing through their veins.
" Ttiit," ho ald)'-tiTer 1 a- sad
ness In thn story, for they ran lo
thu Priest and there came tin
blessing of healing, and there was
only one of the ten who turned
back to give thanks to htm who
had healed him."
The meeting tonight Will bo held
at the Hiiptlsl. church. No ser
vices will he held Saturday night
and Sunday the meetings will close
at the Methodist church.
