Little Fun With Hankins.

Some years ago, says Max Adel-
er in Saturday Night, a new fire
company was organized at Read
ing, and the members one evening
thought they would have a little
fun at the expense OF Hopkins,
their foreman. They decided to
rush around with the engine to
Hopkins house, after dark, to
throw up their ladders, put out
their hose, climb on his roof and
scare him with the belief that his
dwelling was ON fire. But that
very day Hopkins moved out of
the house and clergyman moved
in, without the company being
aware of the change. So about Q
o'clock the humorists dashed out,
and went through all the move
ments, getting on the roof and
splashing water around, and crea-
ting terrible disturbance gener-
ally. A rival company, noticing
what was going on, also hurried to
the scene, and without noticing
the joke, attached their hose to a
plug, smashed in the front win
dows and began to empty a two
inch stream on the family of that
clergyman. They squirted into
all the rooms, split up the window
shutters with an axe, broke out
the front door, ran out the furni-
ture, tore off the shingles, bawled
through the trumpet, until the
hired girl had commissions on the
kitchen stairs. The first company
tried to explain, but the newcom-
ers thought there was an effort be
ing made to get them out of the
way, and fight ensued, and pres
emily firemen were sliding off the
roof, and pelting down the chin
neys, and bleeding down the entry
carpet, and having boisterous en-
counters with spangers aad brass
horns on tia stairs. And the next
morning that divine and ais fam
lily moved They said the place
seemed too animated and sensa-
tional for n quiet domestic circle.
They wanted house where there
was more calmness and peace;
where they could have more secur-
ity for their privacy and pianos.and
for their front doors and shingles,
and peace of mind, and window

Minnesota has called upon oranges
which had selected delegates to po-

appointments. He claims that the
oranges are prohibited by the rules
of the order from engaging in poll

act as they please.

The lives of most men are like
water, where but one point re-

too, only beams from one spot,
but to which the cuttings of art

Ex-Gov. Robinson is getting to be
a regular fire-eating advocate of the
farmers movement. In a recent
speech in Usage county, he declared
that the only remedy for existing
evils was revolution and death.
Now suppose the Governor should
succeed in stirring up a revolution,
with its accomplishments of fire and
blood-what would be the result ?
Why, at the close of the wag, the
Governor wouid present a $4,000
claim against the State for the loss
of phamphlet copies of his Usage
county speech, destroyed in that
revolution White Cloud Chief.

A nnnkar Ln,e-Peast.

The Dnnkers are q very curious
religious sect, originating in the old
world, and fiourishing in some parts
of our country, especially in Lam
caster. county, Penn. where they
abound in considerable numbers.
They are well-to-do farmers. Their
ministers are uneducated, and preach
without pay. Their religion is a
compound of honesty, hard work
and legal rights; their churches are
barns, and their chief meetings con-
centrate themselves in half-yearly
services before and after harvest.
A correspondent who recently
visited a Dunker meeting held in
the large barn of a rich farmer of
their persuasion, near Litiz, in Lam
caster county, gives this description
of one of their loye-feasts:
The lanes. leading tai the barn
were filled with carriages, and the
grounds were crowded witt specla-
tors, who were grouped under the
apple trees, or around the wide
opened doors of the barn. The
building had been cleared for the
brethren aud sisters, who sat along
narrow tables arranged across the
body of the barn. a partition wall
separated the sexes, and over il
could be seen the serious faces of
the sisters, with their white caps
and their white capes, while row
of sedate brethren sat near.
AS we came in, they were silently
partaking of their loVe-feast. On
the narrow tables stood the bowls
OF lambs broth, with the boiled
joint aside OF them, bread and but
ter, aud water served out of water
ing. cans. About ESQ were partak-
ink of the meal by the light of tai
low candles, and meyer a word was
spoken. except in address, or hymn,
or prayer.
After the love-ieast was over. q
speaker significantly reminded us
that as we did not keen
the Lords feast in this divinely-ap-
pointed way, we had little to expect
on the day of judgment. Then
came prayer, the 18th chapter of
J John, recounting our Lords cruel
and the address of an old, |
white-eearded man, who, with rude |
bnt deep pathos, told of Christ's |
love in His redeeming death.
The leader babe them greet each |
other with holy kiss ere they
tasted their Lords sacramental sup |
per; and silently and slowly the |
passed down one side the /
long tables and up the other. Then |
the elements were consecrated and |
passed from hand to hand. The
scene was striking. The barn was
dimlv lighted by the candies; the /
faces of all were sober, and some |
were thoughtful. Many of the men |
were gray and toil-wor and some |
of the women, if not beautiful, had |
a sweet charm in their faces. |
a German or English |
hymn pealed upward among the
rafters of the barn, and then there
was a deep silence again, broken
only by slight rustlings in the hay
and low whispers among the strang-
ers, watching TO see what new GER
emony would next be started from
the cross table at which the Bunker
preacher sat.

DIFFERENT VIEWS OF THE RIGHT
THING TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
1t is a good thing to know what to
do when a man faints away and falls
down on the street. a pedestrian
fell down on Monroe avenue yester-
day, being just off sick bed, and
it was wonderful how many men
in the crowd knew exactly what
was the best thing to do One call
ed for brandy; another waved the
crowd back; another shouted "po-
lice" and "coroner"; and a fourth
brought bucket of water from 8
saloon, and all the others crowded
in as closely as possible and began
wondering if the man had his life
insured. Some wanted to throw
water on the victim, and others
thought that his boots ought to be
removed, and the man with the slop-
pail fell down in it and jumped up
and kicked at a lame boy. Two
boys were sent for q doctor, but
didn't go, aud market woman
crowded in and told them 10 raise
the mans head. Some one put
brick under his neck, aud another
general call was made for whisky,
camphor, gin, soda, pop, root beer,
ginger ale, vinegar, water, and
lager. Nothing was brought, and
after few minutes the man OPEN
ed his eyes, gave his name, and
asked 10 be taken home. After he
had departed a doctor arrived,
coroner came putting along, and
the crowd came near having a fight
as to who was entitled to the honor
of saving the mans life.-Detroit

SAVE The LAM We notice that
the the annual broUi Vi schemes TO
get rid of the remaining public lands
of the country is again making its
appearance. We are opposed to
them, one and all. The government
has given away too much land al
ready. Every remaining acre should
be devoted sacredly TO the one pur-
pose of homesteads for actual set
tiers.
Two huge land grabs last winter
came near getting through Congress.
We hope the new Congress, that as
sembles next December, will give
all these schemes a wide berth

CAN Nor Fool THE FARMERS
The Chicago Tribune is worried
at the prospect that the farmers
are looking to the Republican par
ty, rather than to the Democratic
or Liberal Republican, for the re-
dress of the grievances under
which they labor. The Tribune
had hoped that the movement
could be so skillfully directed as
to be made a powerful engine in
the disruption of the Republican
party. The farmers are too shrewd
to be fooled and humbugged by
journals like the Tribune and by
politicians like Horace White, who
are merely endeavoring to advance
their own selfish interests. The Re
publican party is, we honestly be-
lieve, the only party from which
reforms need be expected. It has
done many things which it should
not have done; many Of its lead
ers haye proven themselves IN
worthy of trust and confidence;
but, take it all in all, no party in
the " ord, in any age, has ever
made 3 nobler or better record.
We have every faith that when the
time comes it will be found ready
and willing to meet and deal with
this Western problem as it should
be met and dealt With National
Republican.

THERE Is NO DEATH.-If it be true

equally true that the Great Creator
abhors death and glories in life. There
is really no such thing as death-the
term is a misnomer, used to designate
the changes which Occur in life. Life.
eternal life, is created by the laws OF
Almighty will-power, which are as m
mutable in their application as is the
existence of the Creator Himself. When
God made life, He made everything
necessary to sustain it, but left it for
mans progressive intelligence to dis
cover, convert and utilize. Good medl-
