Ministers are said not 10 lie gerry
practical. They deal too much in
theology and donation parties to know
anything about the realities OF life. A
donation party, by the way, is not one
OF the sweet realities Of life, but horrid
delusion and snare. The poor minister
fondly dreams that it will be the means
of helping him pay some CHASTITY bills
which have long haunted him, but the
morning after the party he stands ia the
midst OF broken furniture and dishes,
surrounded by heaps OF trash which no
one wants, and which were donated be.
cause no one wanted them, though they
we're supposed to be priceless to "the
parson;" his carpets soiled, his temper
spoiled and his belief in total deprayity,
which had begun to waver. fixed as the
eternal rock, never again to be shaken a
hairs breadth. Well, country clergy
men are proverbia!ly innocent OF the
ways OF the wicked world, but once in
a while you detect just CLEAN OF shrewd-
ness in one OF them which makes you
feel that il he were not q clergyman he
would be chiefly occupied in buying
Western railroads or watering the stock.
One OF this ilk went into hat store Tor
that conventional section OF stovepipe
which is supposed to be he only tit COW
ering for great brains. One hat at which
he looked was s., and another $40. The
warmhearted shopkeeper, touched by
the absence of that look in his customer
which the millionaire wears so grace
fully, whispered to the clergyman that
he might have the ten dollar hat for
half price. The impractical man OF
theology hesitated a moment, and then
--"Well, l think, on the
whole, my dear brother, I'll take the
cheaper hat, and you can make up the
difference between the two in cash"
