FIGHTING THE DEVIL WITH FIRE.

If there is one thing more than an
other that annoys a good wife, who i
nervously sensitive to all that is gross
and ill-timed, it is the habit that some
husbands have of using profane language
in their homes In many cases this is
mere thoughtlessness on the part of the
good man, who never gives a thought tc
the finer sensibilities of his better half,
and even should she mildly demonstrate,
he pays no attention to the rebuke.
We have Just had a case in point,
which happened in one of our thriving
Missouri cities on the banks of the Mis-
sissippi. A lady whose husband was
addicted to the bad practice we have
alluded to, came to her family physician,
laid her grievances before him, and said
"Now, Doctor n, won't you remon-
strate with him and try to break him Of
this habit" I know he will listen to
you"
"Why. madam said the doctor, "he
would pay no attention to anything
could say to him; but as you have come
to me, although somewhat out of my
line, will recommend prescription to
be administered by you, that will certain
ly cure him. 1t is an infallible remedy
"Oh. what is it, doctor"
"Well, when John comes home again
and swears, do you swear back at him.
OF course | don't want you to take the
name of the Lord in vain but d-n things
little for his benefit"
Doctor, for the sake of the final
result, III do it.
And she did.
The next day John came in and in
quired whether dinner was ready and was
told that it was not
"Well, why the ID isn'tit:' said he.
because" she cody replied, 1.-THE
wood was so d-n wet that the fire
wouldn't burn
"Why, Mary, what's the matter with
you-are you mad or have you been drink
ing"
Neither" she said, and quietly pro-
ceeded to set on the dinner.
The beef didn't melt like butter be-
tween the teeth--it rather resisted all
efforts of mastication like so much India
rubber; and finally John blurted out
"What makes this d-n beef so infer
nal tough:'
Mary looked up archly, and replied;
We'll, John, l presume You went down
to the butchers, and, without knowing
the difference, picked out piece Of some
ID old stag that hadn't been fed for a
month.
John jumped up, looked at his wife in
di,may, and wanted 10 know what such
language from her Fps meant.
1t means ju,. this, John, ;ha; You are
the head of the family, and just as Ions
as You think it manly 70 swear IN iUy
presence 7 intend 20 do the same i you
don't Ike It. you know how 20 prevent
it."
The cure was radical, and 20 this day
Mary has never been compelled TO admin
i,tcr another dose of DR.. N pgcscrip-
tlou.

THE "CLAM-sHELL PREACHER.

HE "CLAM-SHEIL PhEACHEh.
There was mission school in Hart
ford, in a ganet room Of rickety build
ing. in the earlier days of such schools in
this country 1t was what the English
would call a "raggcd-school, made up
of boys and girls of the lowest class in
the community. It was not an l,y mat
ter 20 catch and mold the attention ot
that motley assemblage Ihe.c was
rarely visitor who was equal 20 the
emergency. But Dr. Beade caught the
eyes and ears of all who were there when
first he came to that school Standing in
front of the superintendent desk. before
the school closed for the day, he held
common fresh-water clam-shelI and called
out: "Boys, what is that
a clam shell, cried hundred voices.
eyes it's a cam-shell-a rough, coarse,
clam-shell; just such a shell as you could
pick up any day by the bank OF the riv-
er, or back in the country by brook in
the woods. Then turning the she'll
quickly in his hand. he showed the other
valve, beautifully polished
"And what is that, boys he said
That's a clam-shell too, was the an
swer.
"Yes: but see how much prettier this
side is. What makes the difference
"It's been rubbed down, said one.
ITS been smoothed off, said another.
ats been polished up said a third.
"Yes, that's it. And boys, do YOU
know that's just what we are trying to do
with YOU in this Sunday school: We've
brought some of YOU in here as rough as
the other side Of the clam-shell; and
now we are trying to rub you down, to
smooth you off, to polish you up, so that
YOU Il shine like this side Of the she'll
This polishing business is hard work,
boys, and it takes time but it pays.
Then he pressed home the need Of soul
polishing in words which were never for
gotten in that room. DR. Beadlc was
thenceforward known by those boys as
.the clam-shell man. and they always
gave him a hearty welcome in their school
room, or as they met him from time TO
time in the strcet.-.SHday Srlool
Times.

A few days afterward, Colonel Deyens
again presented himself at Myrtie's door
at is just as well that you had the So
ciable last week, Miss Jameson, said he,
with a comically serious air, "for in future
you will be expected to devote all your
energies to the instruction of the youth

Then he took paper from his pocket and
handed it to her. 1t was her appoint
ment to the arduous and responsible pos

A STRANGE MEETING.
A TWICE Welded WOMAN MEErS HER
FORMER HUSBAND AT CHURCH.
From the Philadelphia Timcs.I

A TWICE WEDDED WOMAN MfLlN HIN
FORMER HUSBAND AT CHURCH.
From the Philadelphia Timcs.i
The Rev. DR.. Warren of this city tlg-
ures in something of romance. Many
years ago he performed a marriage cere-
mony by which two young Philadelphians
were made man and wife. The husband
was J. r. Avery, and the bride a young
woman of fine attainments and intellec-
tual promise. Shortly after their mar
riage the couple went to Manhattan, Kan
sas, where they located. Mrs. Az
cry soon began to show her husband that
she intended to advocate the rights OF her
sex, and one morning Avery disappeared
Whether he was dead or alive no one
knew. Mrs Avery took pupils and went
70 work to earn livelihood. While
thus engaged she was met by Judge Fos-
ter, prominent member of the Clinton,
Iowa, bar. Judge Foster learned the
story of her life, procured divorce for
her and made her Mrs. Foster. The
twice welded woman studied law with
the Judge. and, converting him to her
way of thinking, they hung out their sign
in Clinton, Foster IL Foster, Attorneys
at law" Mrs. Foster being the only wo-
man admitted to the bar in Iowa. Time
meanwhile had passed, DR.. Warren re-
naming in Philadelphia. Last summer
Apostle Murphy, DR.. Warren and many
other clergymen of note attended the
great camp meeting at Bismarck Grove
Kansas. There according to the Atch'-
son (Kansas) Patriot of Oct. 6, DR..
Warren met Mrs. Foster, who, as presl-
dent of the Iowa Woman's Christian
Union, represented that organization at
the grove. At the close of the encamp-
ment. a few weeks ago, Dr. Warren
went to Denver as the guest of the Rev.
Earl Cranston. 1t so happened that Mrs.
Foster also went to Denver. 1t 50 hap
pcned. moreover, that on Sunday after
his arrival DIR. Warren sat in a pew III
Mr.. Cranston's church, just in front OF
Mrs. Foster. 1t so happened, strangest
Of all, that in the pew back OF Mrs. Eos
ter sat Avery, her former husband, now a
resident of Denver. a member OF Mr..
Cranstons church, the husband Of good
looking wife and the father Of five chill
dren. The children were in the pew
with their father. Mrs. Foster and Dr..
Warren both recognized Avery and he
them. Mrs. Foster was greatly agitated
and she left for her home in Clinton on
the next morning.
