Bible In the hands Of the people should
be given up to the priests, that It might
be burnt. Then those who loved their
Bibles had to contriye different plans In
order to try and save tho precious book.
When the priests came round to search
the house, 1t happened to be baking day.
Mrs. Schebolt, the grandmother of the
present owner Of this Bible, had large
family. She had just prepared great
batch Of dough when she heard that
the priests were coming, she took her
precious Bible, wrapped 1t carefully up,
and put II In the centre of hugh mass
of dough, which was to fill her largest
bread tin, and slowed 1t away In the
oven and baked 1t. The priests came
and searched the house carefully
through, but they did not find the
Bible. When the search was over, and
the danger passed, the Bible was taken
out of the loaf, and found uninjured.-

well dressed and ladylike in appearance,

way thus described in the Enquirer !!

next to Koehler's drug store. One
swoop of the blondes off claw stripped
the brunette's head of as beautiful set
of hair as was ever bought at a store
Then they stood glaring at each other
like fighting cocks for ten seconds, when
the blonde said bah, and started west

in voice that was grand with emotion
exclaimed: 'You-you you She,

AN AsToNIsHED SCHOOL MA'AM.

A SOUTH HILL school marm, the
n other day, while working an ex-
ample on the board. detected an urchin
directly behind her in the unlawful act
of devouring an apple. She said to him,
''Tim, what are you doing ?'' "No'hin,"
said Tim, with his mouth so full that
his cheeks stuck out on either side like
aldermen stomachs. eyes, you are,"
paradoxically insisted the teacher;
'what have you in your hands ?"
"Napple, . said Tim, with some sur
prise, as he looked at the fragment of
the apple in his hand, and wondered
who had bit it while he was studying.
"What has become of the rest of it 2"
Dunno, said Tim, looking around in
an amazed effort to discover who had
the rest of it. Somebody's been eatin
it," "Have you any morep" demanded
the teacher. "Yes'm" said Tim dole
fully, "got mother" "Where is it?"
relentlessly pursued the teacher. "In
my desk, - sighed Tim, as he began to
suspect that the teacher was going to
demand it of him. swell, take it out
and go stand on the platform and eat
it." SEAT 'em both ?" queried Tim.
''Yes, eat them both" "Eat all got l''
demanded Tim in subdued tone of
countenance. "Yes, eat all you have"
impatiently responded the teacher, and
turning to the board continued, 'and
don't you leave that platform while you
have an apple uneaten." Silence reigned
in the school room. The paper pellet
pursued its tranquil transit unobserved.
The busy hum of the studious made
more noise than the cautious smile of
the indolent. Tim stood at his post.
The fragment in his hand soon dis
appeared, and he fell upon the other
apple silently; but determinedly.
Quickly it followed the first. Then he
put his right hand in his pocket and
took out an apple, and, after a cautious
reconnoiter, during which he wiped
it on his trowsers, he began the attack.
He carried the fort Down went the
hand again and another apple was
brought to light. 1t was quickly dis
patched. A third followed.
Then he changed his position, and
resting the weight of his body on his
left leg, sighed as he drew from his left
breeches pocket another apple.
When it was gone he drew on the
commissary for another, aud by the
time he produced the eighth apple he
was silently being observed by two
thirds of the boys in the room. The
teacher turned and saw the boy still
standing in the attitude of one who was
reaching for something in his Goa
pocket,
