A Double Edged Story.

Noses NJ Strong in his discussion with
Allen Warden, at Dodgeville last Tuesday
evening narrated the following little sto-
ry," as a reason why we should not trust
the Republican party which he claimed
to be well known as being very corrupt in
its administration for anot' e presidential
term, but should confde the interests of
the country to the management of the I'M
known, and supposed to behonest democrat
ic party.
lie said that some 81 years ago, he was
running for the Assembly in this state
against Gen. Hickox, and being near the
state line, staid over night with an old
friend named Gillot, who was opposed to
him politically. During the evening and
morning they very carefully abstained
from discussing politics, while entertain
ing each other very pleasantly on general
topics. When Strong came TO leave how
ever, and had mounted his horse, he could
not resist the temptation to ask elliot if
he would not vote for him, adding that
Hickox was unknown to him, and conse-
quently had not the claim of old acquain-
lance upon his suffrage. To this Gllot
replied u can't vote for you, for though
don't know anything about Hickox relg-
iously or politically, I knoso yoa."
The real point Of the story consists in
applying 1t directly to Strong and his par
ty, who have ruled the country, and ruin
ed it as far as possible, and now having
"spent all their substance in riotous liv-
ing" are playing the role of injured in
nocence," to get in again, or as Red Rid
ing hoods wolf feigning to be the loving
grandmother. till the child put herself
within its power, when it will bite and de
your, ravage and ruin, according as its in
stincts or opportunity may suggest. " A
burned child breads the fire."

resided till his death, preaching his new
doctrines, without compensation, as long
as his health would permit In 1905, he
had exchanged horse for one hundred
and twenty acres Of new land in Hender-
son, not without a presentiment that he
was providing home for his old age
lie had saved enough out of his soanty sal
AIRY to erect suitable buildings on the farm
and provide II with stock Of AL kinds
and the income Of the farm, aud Of the

tiers, She died while he was pastor in
Pittsford, and he married, Ii October
1872, Mrs, Della Graves, widow of the
Rev William Graves, Of Woodstock, Conn
His experience with her was such as to
lead him to the very decided conviction
that, in his ease, at least, bishop should
be the husband Of one wife, and no more.
They separated, by mutual consent, in
1891.
Mr.. Weeks was man Of warm and
kind feelings, clear understanding, and
acute perception prompt in business, ur-
blne in manners, industrious in labor.
IA a minister he was Jealous, critical and
accurate in his knowledge of the doctrines
which he taught. and bold in declaring
what he believed, THEORETICALLY, he was,
after the most strictest sect Of our religion,
a Calyinist, until his unhappy apostacy
His rank as preacher was high, and his
services were in constant demand at ordi-
nations and on other special occasions.
Among the ordinations at which he
preached during his pastorate at Pitts

were published, and the titles of some of
them, q. T. "Sclfsh. Preachers build up
