One OF Camp Meeting Johns Stories.
Camp meeting John Allen tells a
story about a man who came forward
for prayer In the early days OF his
ministry. with red face aud rum breath,
not sober enough to understand the
gravity Of the occasion. but still ser
iously In earnest about his salvation.
This man kept little shop, and
among other things sold a little new
rum, but was his own best customer.
Mr.. Allen went to his shop one day
and expostulated with. him about the
matter, but he said he could not afford
to lose what rum he had on hand.
Finally, Allen agreed to buy it il ne
would seek the Lord then and there,
and kueel down and pray for himself.
AS they knelt down the minister
turned the faucet and set the rum to
running. This was too much for the
penitent, and he cried out on his
knees, "it's wasting, it's wasting" !"
@Let it waste" said the old saint, as
he kicked it out doors, and took a
Ratchet and burst in the end of the
cask. 1T amt measured, said the
man. Guess at it, and be sure to
guess enough" said Allen. Thus the
battle was won, and the man became
temperate and religious. Next day
some OF the church members said
they thought brother Allen @came to
preach the gospel. not to spend his
time kicking out rum barrels." "You
can't get the gospel in till you kick
the rum out" said the preacher

A Safe Lean Into Niagara.

Peere's dress was composed OF

Cotton cloth was tightly banded over
the preseiver about the loins, and

sponge dampened with spirits, and
his thighs and feet were firmly held

How Queen Victoria Popped the Ques.
tiOn.

On June 90, 1887. William ". died,
and Victoria. then young maiden.
ascended the throne. 1t had been
planned in diplomatic circles to have
her marry Alexander. the brother OF
King Of the Netherlands; but that
project failed, for Prince Albert, of
Cobourg, came to England in 1889
and won the heart OF England's Queen.
On the l4th October her Majesty in
formed the Prime Minister, Lord Mel
bourne. of that important but delicate
fact, and the following day the Prince
had an audience with the Queen.
The two lovers were placed in very
peculiar position. The social posi-
ton OF Victoria was so superior to
that of Prince Albert that no could
not make the first advance, nor offer
the lady his hand. as is usually the
case between lovers nowadays. 1t
was rather for her TO make the prop
os:tion, and offer her hand, and she
accomplished the somewhat unusual
task in very skillful manner. With
a gracious smile she handed the
Prince a small bouquet OF flowers,
which he placed as near as possible
to mis- heart. As he had no button
hole or pocket in that region OF his
close fitting uniform. he took a pen
knife. cut slit, and slipped in the
precious token. He then expressed
his thankfulness and pleasure at be-
ing SO well received at the English
Court. and especially at his reception
by the Queen, in reply to which she
asked him the tell-tale question:: If
the country pleases your Highness so
well, perhaps you would not object 10
remain with uss" The Prince replied
that was the great desire OF his life,
and the Queen. feeling that the deci-
sive moment bad come, though quiv-
ering with womanly delicacy, con-
fessed to him honestly her great 1--we
for him. and assured him that 1t would
be the cause OF her greatest happi-
ness IL he would consent to make the
sacrifice necessary to become The
husband OF the Green of England.
For he could be nothing more than
her husband, and would have nothing
10 do vito the political affairs. The
Prince wrs charmed and capitulated
unconditionally. They were married
on the10th OF February. 1910. Their
marriage was in every way happy
one, and their welded life unalloyed
until death seized the Prince as his
prey. Calumny and intrigue never
poisoned the sweetness OF their fami-
ly life, which stands to-day as model
not only for crowned heads, but also
for the humblest OF human kind.
