And one spoke OH this wise, and an
other on that. One advised that he he
sent forth to preach that there Is no
God. "NO," said Satan, ''men can
not believe that. | have tried that
long enough, and failed" Another
proposed to tell them that God was 50
holy that none hut the Holy Spirit
could reach him; that thus they might
be urged In good works. Ne" said
Satan, "they soon zee through that,
and discover their sins" ''Send me, "

voice saluted him. A stranger laid
his hand on his shoulder, and said in
cordial tones:
''Mr. Cough, 60 down to our meet

brief conversation followed, 40 win

number of suicides from intemperlncc
in 1913 was l4l. and IN 1864, 40l.

the animal that whenever its master
would put it'down upon the ground it
would run Immediately illtg the near-

coon about the street In his arms, os-
tensibly for the purpose Of showing it
of. and when in front of residcnce
that he wished to enter he would LET
the coon down. In an instlut the
well-trained animal would scamper off
towards the house, and its master
would follow in pursuit. IL there
happened to be an opening anywhere
about the building the coon was sure
to find it and enter tile house at once.
Of course the people of the house
would allow the master to come In
after his pet, and while the family
and servants were lending a helping
hand 10 effect the capture Of the rtlll,l-

every opportunity by picking up little
things here and there in the rooms IN
which they passed after the slippery
little beast. Mitchell kept up this
smart little game quite successfully
for some time, but was finally caught,
and sent to the penitentiary.
