Getting More Than They Prayed
For.
Boston Transcript.

Boston Transcript.
In certain country town there had
been a 'opg continued drought; the
fields were parched and burnt, tho foil.
age had Withered under the suns
burning rays, the wells were dry, and
it was only by going to the river, three
or four miles distant, that water for the
animals and for household use could
bs obtained. Under these circumstances
il was resolved in the 'st9re' one Sat
urday evening to see the good parson
and ask him to pray for rain. he was
interviewed, and promised accordingly.
The next day the sun came out hotter
than ever, and the congregation came
to church white with dust, which hung
like a cloud over the roads. 1T the
close of the ''long prayer"-and 1t was
unusually long-the preacher said,
"Aud now, o Lord, we approach a sub
iect that lies near, very near, to our
hearts. Thou knowest that our fields
ara parched and our wells dry thou
knowest that We choke with dust and
that our cattle are in sore need; and
so, o Lord, we pray that thou Whilst
open the almighty bottle OF the uni
verse, and pour out its contents on this,
our bedroughted country" On the
evening of that day the sky looked
hazy. On Monday there were genuine
clouds aud "signs of rain." Tuesday
brought two or three refreshing show
ers the "women folks" as New Eng
!aniers of the rural sort call the fair
sex, caught enough for their week 5
washing, and were happy, and withtr-
ed vegetation began to revive. on
Wednesday and Thursday the rain fell
steadily, on Friday it fell in torrents,
and ere Saturday evening fell, things
began to lSpk serious. But there was
no le. up, and when Sunday morning
came the devout ones who ventured out
lad to 90 to meeting" in boats. Just
as the dripping minister was about to
climb the stairs that led to the high
pulpit bedrasgled deacon took him
bv the arm and had few words With
him apart. The pastor looked puzzled,
hut finally assepted with a nod. took
his place in the pulpit, and opened the
service. Again there was long prayer
"a very long prayer-and it closed as
follows "Again, 0 Lord, We approach
with fear and trembling the subject OF
which We made mention last week. We
told thee that our fields were parched,
our wells dry, and our cattle were in
sore need, and we asked that thou
wouldst open the great almighty bottle
of the universe and pour cut its con
tents on our bedroughted country. but,
o Lord. when we made that, our pray
-r, we'd no idea that thou DIST lose the
stopple."

He Kissed En-.

\ Detroiter who dresses well and has
a reasonable share Of good looks had
occasion last week to make trip to the
country, and one night he found him
self at a farm house at which a party
was to come off. He was invited to par
ticipatc in the festivities, and rftea ne
had consented the old farmer took him
round the corner of the house and said :
1.-The young folks are mighty fond OF
any game with kissing in it. They'll
get up something and fix it to make you
kiss the handsomest gal in the ROOM"
"Well, I'll kiss her." was the prompt
reply.
- Yes, but held on little" continu-
I'd the old man. There's my ga En-
ma. We think she's as purity as any
Of 'em, but certain folks around here
kinder sniff at her cause her nose crooks
a bit and her hair is a trile high color
ed. Now, | want you to kiss Elm, for
the handsomest gal in the room. It'll
do the old woman good, do En-, good,
and kinder set these 'ere snitfe's back
little. | don't ask you to kiss her
for nothin', but if you'll do tlll throw
fifteen cents otf'n your bill in the morn
ing. What dye say %
The young man said he'd do it, and
the father continued:
"That's the checker. Don't have
any make believe about it, but kiss her
right pop out, 50 that We can all hear
the smack ?"
The game was played, the Detroitcr
was "tixed" and he kissed En-" like
he pop of a pistol. He felt all the
happier for it that night, seeing how
greatly the old woman was pleased, but
the next forenoon as logged along he
had to run the gauntlet of score OF
farmers sons waiting in fence corners tc
lick him because he passed their gals
by for q" En-" He was struck by thir
teen stones, six clubs and about bush
el Of potatoes before he got out of the
neighborhood, and when he came tc
figure up he realized that fifteen cents
was no induccment at all.-Detr0it Ere,

A Cat That VIII Hatch Chicken
N Nadison, Wis, Democrat, March 20.


The auCtioneer Bruce reports most
strange transactions OF a favOrite female
cat in his possession. Some time ago
she presented the homestead with q
large litter Of kittens, all Of which the
master of the place destroyed. The old
..lm- mother became territ ly Distress
ed over the untmely and mUst uuna'u-
raj taking off OF her kind. She moped
around for davs and weeks aud would
not .kc Gomtorted. At last she took to
the company Of the poultry of the place,
Hui was ever moving about in the com
pany Of hens especially. When one of
the latter would seek a nest for the
purpose of laying the cat would be her
companion and would nestle down by
the side Of the fowl. By and by the
ca, became nuisance to the hens and
also to the rOosters. They did not want
the feline intruder, and war was made
upon her. Four or FIVE game old chan
tlrl4ers finally succeeded in completely
discriminating the cat from the premi
sns, INT in a few days she turned up at
n"ar neighhor's place, Widow Cary's,
and here she had game! the goodwill
Cf -nvrral old hens that were laying in
th3 same nest. By and by the cat took
p ss~.sion Of the nest and cou d not be
a%.d away from it. Then the hen
u.r' 70 get close to the cats side, lay
an rIs, and after departing the cat
wouW ,et up and let the egg roll into
the nest. Then she would lie down and
carefully protect the nest and its con-
tents. She will not be driven from h er
possession, and she evidently expects
that ere long she will be the happy
mother of large family.

Josh Billings Advi TO q New
Cher singer.

Dear Miss. This is an important ep-
och into youI life. The lst thing to make
a good choir singer is to giggle little.
Put up your hair in Girl papers every
Friday night soze to have it in good
shape Sunday morning. If your daddy
is rich you can buy some store hair. II
he is very rich buy some more and
build it high up into your head then
get high priced bonnet that runs up
very high, at the part of it, and then
git the milliner to plant some high
grown artilish. Is onto the highest part
of it. This will help you sing, as soph-
rano is the highest part.
When the tune is give out. don't pay
attention to; and then giggle. Giggle
is good cell.
Whisper to the girl next to you that
En- Jones, which sets on the End sect
from the front on the left-hand side, has
had her bunnit with the same color-ex-
act she had last year, and then put your
book to your face and giggle.
Object to every tune unless there is
solow into it for the sophanno. Ccti
and ham good eel before you begin to
ng.
When you sing a solow shake the ar
tihshes off your bunnit, and when you
come to high tone brace yourself back
a little, twist your head, to one side
and open the widest on that side, shet
the eye jest triple, and then put in
for dear life.
When the preacher gifts under he'd
way with his preachin, writ note onto
the blank leaf into the fourth part of
your note book. That's what the blank
leaf was made for. Git sumbody to pass
the note to sumbody else, and you watch
them while they read it, and then gig
gle.
If anybody talks or latfs in the con-
gregation and the preacher takes note
of it, that's good chance for you to
giggle, and you ought to giggle great
eel. The preacher darsen't say any
thing to you because you are in the
qurs, and he can't run meetin house
at both ends without quire. If you
had bow before you went into the
quire, give him the mitten-you ought
to have sumbody better.
Don't forget to giggle.

SUCCESSFUL STOCK OPERATIONS.

| There is much talk about stock operations
and the rapid fortunes that are amassed by
| them, but very few people understand just
how it is done Messrs, Lawrence & Co
Bankers, 81 Exchange Place, New York city,
have published full details of their new COM
binaton method of operating in stocks, which
is wonderfully successful By pooling the
orders of thousands of customers into one
immense sum and operating them as a whole,
aoh patron is placed on an equality with the
largest operator, and vast profits are divided
pro rata among shareholders every 80 days.
$50 makes 800, or per cent. on the stock
in the month; 500 makes $50, or ) per
cent. $3.50 makes 81 800, and various profits
according to the movements of stocks Safety
and success are the distinguishing features of
this system. S. Y, Sanger of San Francisco,

THE SLEIGHERS SERENADE THE
MORNING APPEAL


While the venerable head of the MORNING
APPEAL editorial staff was busy with the
cogitations and cares of State, last night, the
sounds of sweet singers singing him sere-
made, were waited through the keyhole and
across his weary, dreary old ear. These
melodioas sounds came like June zephyr
stealing across green and luxuriant bed of
Mint! We and our distinguished guests,
among whom were our Surveyor General and
the Secretary of the Senate, stood at the
door with heads uncovered while these sleigh
ing serenaders, responsive to d tender chord
of sympathy, gave us "One more for the old
man" Then, amidst tumultuous and long
continued applause, they went away
into the darkness, their voices and the
voices of the merry bells dying rapidly away
in the misty dim distance of the night. May
they do SO some more in 1.-The Sweet Bye
and -Bye "
