Tanning a shrew.:::

Ont i'll Grow township, says the
Anoka (Minn.) Union, there resides
man and wife, their names we shall
not disclose, who have been married
but few years. In these few years
they have lived together there have
ar'sen differences, and now they don't
like each other as well ae they ought
to. These differences frequently lead
to open h' stili'ies, and, as neither
the one or the other likes to give up,
they quarrel most turiously. One
day last week trouble began once
more: and recrimination followed re.
elimination, until the husband, seiz-.
ing a pitcher of milk that was stand
ing in close proximity, remarked,
emphatically and touchingIy, "Lucy,
it you do not stop scolding L shall
certainly empty the contents of this
pitcher on you." Lucy paid no heed
to the threat, when, alas! the cor
tents of the pitcher came upon her.
OF course this made the now thor
oughly irate Lucy boiling. The hus.
band then seized pail of water and
said: "Lncy, if you don't stop seold-
ing, shall certainly throw this water
on you" Ley again needed not tile
threat, and received the water in
consequence. This but added insult
to Injury, and Lucy waxcd more
wrathy than ever. Then the hus-
band caught nr a pail Of soapsuds
and cried, ''Lncy, ityou don't stop,
| shall certainly douse you with these
snds." The soapsuds threat also fail,
ed to have any effect, and size was
treated with soapsuds. By this time
the lady was wet to the skin, and
has lily rctreated to her sleeping
apartments to change her clothing,
all the while scolding to the best of
her ability. The husband Fastened
to the well and drew up two pals of
water, and, on returning, informed
Lucy that the cold water was for her
Gold water had the desired effect,
and Lucy surrendered, and now we
understand that all is serene once
more; how long to last, no one
knows.

Dr.: James II. oantrell, the attend

was attacked with nervous epasms
OF the heart. II expected his death
at any moment. He was in such q
condition since Sunday a week that I
did not dare to: make an examination
OF his lungs, as I knew lie could not
stard it. Mr.. S2hrack told me, that
during the four hours of bis uncons

had brought him back, because he
was so happy where he was.'> f.. ii
Showing how fully be has recover

terday that if he was to become the
subject OF notoriety, perhaps people
would be hocking TO see him. "In
that case," and here lie laughed
heartily, Il will have TO charge
twenty-five cents for admission, and
then perhaps Barnum will be after

llams, to assist her. In rumaaing
through a drawer an old pistol was
carelessly handled by Miss Williams,
resulting in the shooting and instant
death of Miss Moore. She was
buried on the day that was to have
been her, wedding day, and Miss
Williams has become insane.

Mr.. EDITOR: In your paper Of Jan.

been the guide to millions, who have

Nun bers Of accnrateaDd consci-

that, taken as a whole, tie King

by King James Can do it for him, he
is at liberty to translate. There are

over the work, is said to have read,

while we grant that any man may
translate for himself Gas wise in his

it immerse. We are obliged to take
it as meaning to pour in that place.
Doubtless the translators saw.it used
elsewhere and the meaning was OBJ
Vious!y not to pour upon but TO
sprinkle, or to immerse, hence they
could not translate by any of these
terms, and hence transferred the
word, and it stands in English jnst
as 1t did in Greek, defined in various
ways; and so it will stand, in time to
come, wherever translation is made
by scholars. 1t is q mathematical
axiom that the whole is greater than
any OF its pafts.
lmmerse is part Of the definition
OF barti"zo, not the whole; pour is
part not the whole. The transla,
ors attalnted to greater accuracy by
transferring than they could have
done by translation. There stands
the word Baptize. For the Baptist it
means to immerse; for the Pedobap
tlst it means to pour or to sprinkle,
just AS it did for the Greeks them
selves. In the Greek it conveyed
all these ideas; it will do so as long
as the Greek Testament shall be
read. 1t would do so, though the
Amer icar Bible Union Publishing
Company were to multiply transla-
liuns with only immcrse in each,
ill they were ''tbick as auturnnal

MIR SCHRACK DIES,

Apparently Mr.. Schrack died at
twenty minutes Of seven O'Clock on
Sunday morning. Ills limbs became
cold and rigid, lis lips colored pur-
pie, and around his mouth was the
Olue mark, genera'y supposed to be-
token death A hand mirror was
placed over his mouth, but its shin
ing surface was not dimmed. His
friends and ncighbors who stood
aroun d pronounced him dead and
grieved for him. A few hours after.
wards the body was completely
stripped that 1t might be prepared
for the nndertaker's hand. Before
washing the corpse it was necessary
to remuNe it from the bed. A neigh
Dor, Mr.. Charles Shankland, lifted
the body, when, to his alarm, he dis.
ilnctly heard feeble groan. A hur
ncd examination GCN eloped the fact
that the man was not dead. The
body was wrapped in blankets and
bottles OF hot water placed between
them. Mr.. Shanklin hurried tor the
doctor, and, returning quickly, acted
under the instructions he had re-
celvcd until the doctor arrived. In
short time Mr.. Schrack had gained
consciousness, and was sitting up in
bed, bnt more than that, the man
before was lying at deaths door, and
who Was terribly afflicted with dis
ease, was almost as sound and well
as ever he was in his life. Mr..
Schrack dreaded the idea Of his pc
euliar case being made public, but,
if the particulars were to be re- ated,
lie said he would prefer, narI ating
them himself, so that the statement
might be correct. A Times repre-.

The Dead Come TO Life.

At seven O'Clock on Sunday morn,
ing, says the Philadelphia Times,
Grape hung by the door of fthe dwell
linz, 1913 Mary street, a thoroughfare
between Carpenter street and Wash,
lng'on avenue, in the Second Ward.
The neighbors who knew the story OF
a long and painful illness said,
'P~or Mr.. Schrack has gone at last!''
Word was sent to the doctor that lie
need attend ills patient no longer
The undertaken was visited. In Old
Swedes GLORIA DeD Church Mr..
Schrack's death was announced and
the Sunday school scholars COM
mented uprn the death of'lhe teach-
er hey had learned to love. At II
o'clock, four hours later, the Grape
was torn down from beside the dwell
