While lookiag thfsssh our copy drawer
We came across the following. We don't re-

FROM,
Mr.. Thomas Mooney lives at He'd Bank. and
reads the papers. Among the items which ex.
cited his interest was one which related how q
man with q balky horse get out of his wagon
when the animal stopped. and sat on = stump
reading the Bible until the animal went on
again, which he did in very short time. Mr..
Mooney had balky horse so he put Bible in
his pocket and went ont to try the experiment.
Hi: horse stopped right in the middle of the
main street, and refused to bulge an inch
Mooney got out and sat ON the curbstone and
opened hia Bible. An immense crowd gathered
refund and watched him, wondering what in
the name of common sense was the matter with
Mooney! But Mooney paid NO attention to
them. He began at Genesis, and he read that
Bible clean through to the end Of the Old Testa-
ment, including the Apocrypha-and there that
horse stood as qsiet a statue! Then Mooney
read on to the end of Revelations, aud perused
the preface, and all the foot notes, together with
the title page and tho name on the back of the
cover. Still his horse chung to that one spot,
never moving except to bite fly off of his flank,
or to kick one from his stomach. Then Mr..
Mooney began at Revelations and read clear
back to Genesis, including the margin refer.
ences. Mooney thought, if there was any good
in the System. that must certainly start the
steed ; but it didn't. It occurred to Mr.. Mooney
that perhaps the horse might be encouraged to
90 forward if he would read few chapters of
Deuteronomy ont loud to him. So he began
and went over about 600 hard names in four
teen syllables, which SO discouraged Moneys
horse that he began to back, and he kept on
backing until he jammed the wagon through
pane of two-hundred.dollar plate glass in chi.
ma store, and smashed window.full of crockery.
Mr.. Mooney remarked to the proprietor, after he
had paid the bill, that he did not regard the ex.
pertinent as decided success. He said he would
put no more faith in the suggestions of news
papers. He was so mad about it that he stepped
his English paper, aud began to take German
paper, which he can't read, so there Is no danger
of his being fooled again.

A woman suffrage lecturer in Iowa calls upon

She evidently dislikes that sort Of modesty,
which is capable of being shocked.
A Wyoming woman complains that hundreds

That's just one reason why We oppose womau's

The (o0napolis says of woman suffrage:
Miss Beecher says: ut is the side issues Of
the woman suffrage question that have caused
me and others, who once favorably regarded it,
to change our opinions" Miss b. is right. Free
love, as e1pounded by handsome but VIGOROUSLY
bad women, and by virtuous but sharp nosed
women with broonstiok shins, has swamped the
cause.

as he lived. IL. O."says she has been teacher
in several schools for young ladies, and that the
one she writes from is a fair sample of all. IL.
O." may be right, but it is always unsafe to
accept woman's testimony against woman.
