"I'LL KEEP 'rM AwAEE."-
Near Newark, M lived a very
pious family who had taken an
orphan boy to raise, who, by the
way, rather unidentified. he
had imbibed very stric. views on
religious matters, however, and
once asked his adopted mother if
she didn't think it wrong for the
old farmers to come to church
and fall asleep, paying no better
regard to the service. She re-
pied she did. Accordingly be-
fore going to church the next
Sunday he filled his pockets with
apples. One bald headed old
man, who invariably went to
sleep during the sermon, attract
ed his attention. Seeing him
nodding, and giving nasal evil
dence of being in the Gland Of
Dreams he hauled off and took
the astounded sleeper with an
apple square on top of his bald
pate. The minister and aroused
congregation at once turned
around and gazed Indignantly at
the boy, who merely said to the
preacher, IS took another apple
In hand, VITA a sober, honest ex-
preston of countenance, "you
preach, I'll keep 'em awake"
