I say that a box car is sent from Holyoke
to Springfield twice week loaded with
postal cards, aud from this point they are
distributed through the mail routes to
all parts of the country. The orders for
postal cards are sent from the various
post offices to Washington first, and then
duplicate forwarded to Holyoke, with

IN THE WRONG PULPIT.
Lindsay Post.


A young Methodist clergyman not
hundred miles from Lindsay, Canada, a
few Sundays ago, was delegated to re-
lieve brother clergyman in neighbor-
ing village, and never having been in the
place before he had to make inquiries
when he got there as to the location of
the parsonage. 1t was pointed out to
him, and after putting up his horse in
the stable he walked into the church next
door, naturally thinking it, from it's close
proximity to the parsonage, to be the
church in which he was to preach. The
congregation had nearly all assem-
bled, and us the young divine walked up
the aisle to the pulpit expressions of sur
prise were manifested on all sides that
they were to have a strange minister
having heard anything about it. But of
course the clergyman could not read
their thoughts, and set up his list of
hymns to the choir in the usual way.
Thep he leaned back in his chair for q
breathing spell before commencing the
service. As he Was taking his ease a
clergyman entered the church, and, see.
ing strange minister in the pulpit,
quietly took a seat IN front pew to
await developments. Presently the
stranger took down the hymn book from
the desk and turned to the page on which
he expected to find hymn he had Sc.
lected, but was astonished to observe
that the numbers did not correspond.
He beckoned to the clergyman in the
pew to come forward, and asked: "Is
this the hymn book you use here?'
"Certainly; that is bible christian
hymn book" was the reply. The young
minister took in the situation ut once
he had got into the wrong church. AT:
ter making an explanation he grasped
his hat and walked out.

is without precedent. Never before in

through Iowa they are assailed and har-
rassed by land agents, frenzied by their
inability to turn the column, or waver
the ranks, but it does not deter them.
This movement gis contagious and has
innoculated the land agents, who, anxious
to see country the people are crazy to

the bible to be destroyed from off the

are credited with discoveries in which
they were anticipated some centuries
ago by Catholic doctors. For instance,
the passage Of the tllee witnesses, about
which such fuss is being made, was
condemned by st. Thomas Aquinas, and
the Jesuit father, Mardonatus, wrote of
the woman taken in adultry: I have

Meyer Bros drug store barely escaped de-
struction by fire on Monday morning. Plum
bers were at work in the cellar putting in
new gas meter and neglected to turn off the
gas at the street The stream of gas from the
service pipe was ignited by the plumbers
lamp. An alarm of fire was given and the
Winona boys made their appearance within
five minutes with their hose carriage, but
their services were not needed, as the flame
was extinguished by wrapping coat around
the end of the gas pipe, and throwing water
on it with the hose in the cellar. But for the
presence of hydrant there, the building
must have burned. As it was, Charles Earth,
the plumber, had both of his hands severely
burned in his efforts to smother the flames.
The burning of this fine establishment would
have been great loss to the town.
