Anounces that He Will Intro duce Any That Too Shy to Seek Acquaintance. Minneapolis. Minn, Sept. 6. "If any poor, bashful man in my audience has fallen in love with some worthy woman and wants to meet her for a wife, 1 will see that he is introduced, has a place to court, wil! help him get his license, pay for it if necessary, marry him free of charge and furnish him with a wedding certificate, which he may hang near the motto, "God Bless Our Home." This is the offer made by Rev. G. L. Morrill, a prominent Minneapolis pas tor, in his sermon on "The Masher Mashed." Mr. Morrill termed a masher "a bi ped who roosts on the corner and by look, gesture and speech takes famil iar advantages of women who pass by." "And if the fellow seems to want a hot time, girls," the pastor advised, "wallop him with your bag and then throw red pepper in his eyes." Regarding eugenics, Rev. Morrill said: "Woman was made to marry ami not to be a religious recluse, old maid or stenographer, unless she possesses some defect of mind or body which would result in degenerate offspring. "The ogling ogre is sometimes mashed by the indignant victim or by some manly looker-on. who remem bers his own dear ones, some gal lant policeman or by the judge, who instead of giving a light fine, gives a heavy sentence to the workhouse, where Mr. Masher may flirt wijrU the mop, make googoo eyes at daisies in the fields or mash rock in quarries." Following the sermon Rev. Mr. Morrill was approached by several young men of his audience, who sought him to introduce them to wo men they thought "worthy." Unhes itatingly their request was granted, and they were told to go ahead "with their courting and then come back for their marriage licenses." FUNERAL SERVICES OF MRS. R.

"Sometimes the chickens remain tip all night, " said Scherwin, "ami go back to roost about daylight. They arc drowsy all day and the hens do not lay."

Since then the hens have watch ed each night for the light to be turn ed on and the feast it brinirs them. o ' UNITED PRESBYTERIANS PLAN IMPROVEMENTS At a meeting nf the board of trus tees of the United Presbyterian church held in this city last evening il was decided to call a Hireling of the entire congregation u b'riday, September 20ih, tor the purpose of discussing the advisability of making certain improvements in the church building.
