DURING the progress of protracted
meeting in West Greenwich, last week, a.
well known citizen who was in attendance
was seized with what the brethren were
pleased to term religious frenzy" He
went home a raving maniac, and failing in
an attempt to shoot his old father whom he
mistook for the devil, he seized the house
dog and chopped it into several hundred
pieces. Gathering the bloody fragments
into basket, he clambered to the top OF
the carriage house, and from that position
pelted the passers-by with the chunks of
dog meat. His conversion was evidently
too thorough-he got too much of good
thing.

THE MOST DASTARDLY COWARD OF
ALL


Don't tell us: We know better. Men Do
have a care as to what may be said of them
after death The thing called posthumous
fame moves thousands of men to deeds of
heroism; and to make name that will be
handed down to posterity is the chief aim of
every ambitious life, No civilized human
being has fallen SO low in the scale of hu.
mainly that he can honestly declare that he
doesn't care what is said of him, after he
puts on his immortality. The very man
who tells you this would knock you
