We are thoroughly in earnest in the desire to get all our people to do more reading and thinking for themselves.

But, says our ordinary fault finder, you don't give us reading matter enough. Don't wes We'll, we give you far more than you can get out of any book which costs you the same sum of money.

hundred feet distant it was solid,
blottlng out the street behind it. 1t
was while this lasted that the
wind, as from all quarters of the
northern sky at once, wrought most
fiercely, swaying, twisting and tear
ing asunder trees, and driving light
things before it with such swiftness
that they could scarcely be distin-
guished. This sand shower lasted
some seven minutes before a drop of
rain came, and could be seen rushing

mountains echo to the thunder. The

Louisville (Ky) Post. July p.
A Post and Ne,cs reporter in max
ing his rounds to-day, met brother
of the cloth from Memphis.
Reporter-What was your expe-
rience in your journey from Mem
phis?
Memphian - They we're varied,
somewhat like Joseph's coat, of many
colors. In starting the refugee pre-
sents himself to the doctor at Mem
phis, who writes out certificate set
ting forth that he is sound in mind,
body, soul, wind, etc., and has COM
piled with all regulations of the Board
of Health. Then he enters the crowd
ed cars filed with men, women and
children, the latter exerting their vo-
cal abilities And then the journey
begins. At the platforms of the sta
tions along the route the entire popu-
lations came out to greet us with si-
lent awe. They seemed, however,
to be much disappointed, as we did
not exactly represent the terrified
creatures that were expected to be
seen; we were not Lot and his family
fleeing from Sodom. But the most
interesting part of the journey fol-
lowed our arrival at Elizabethtown.
Here We were boarded by some ofli-
cials, whose Importance was plain to
be seen, even before the peculiar ina
chine which one carried was noticed.
He was a youthful-looking individual,
dressed in blue coat and the majesty
of the great Board of Health. The
presence of this interesting person
was followed by horrible results.
Holding in his hand lamp, or some
thing like it, he did something to it.
and in an instant it fizzled and
squirted all over the seats, the people
and everything, and then, great
Caesar, what an odor crowded that
car to suffocation! The passengers
were choking mad, and many an oath
went up, not 10 heaven, though, for
we had too little breath left to project
them so high. Most of us stuck our
heads out of the windows, while few
applied their handkerchiefs to their
mouths and kept their seats. The
scoundrel--tnat's the name we knew
him by-passed on and out of the
coach, and we thought we should
be now thoroughly disinfected. But
not so. For soon after another doc
tor came in with some "bromide,"
and he left it near the door. This
was more than the average Memphian
can stand, so one after another, in
pretty rapid succession, passed out
of the door to get breath of air.
And that is disinfecting, making
people ride on the platforms.

: thus describes the meeting of two
I Texans in that State recently: "Two
. men hailed each other from the oppo-
site banks of stream and exchanged
friendly greetings; many friendly
questions put and answered. The
men were evidently delighted to meet
each other, and their only regret ap-
: peared to be that they encountered
one another in a place where it was
