A Milwaukee paper describes an amlL.
ing scene at one of the churches in that
city on a recent Sunday. During the
vacation season the seats had been newly
vanished and were terribly sticky.
When you pull anything off of sticky
varnish it cracks. The audience had all
got seated, when the minister got up to
give out the hymn, and as his trousers
let loose of the varnish of his chair there
was noise like the killing of a fiy on
the wall with palm leaf fan. The min
lister looked around at the chair to see if
he was all present and if his pants had
escaped, and read the hymn. The choir
rose with sound of revelry and after
the tenor had swallowed a lozenge and
the base had coughed, and the alto had
hemmed, and the soprano had shook
out her polonaise to see if the varnish
had showed on the south side, the audi
ence began to rise. One or two deacons
got up first with sounds like picket firing
in the distance on the eve of battle; and
then few more got up, and the rattlipg
Of the unyielding varnish sounded as
though the fight was becoming more ar
ir1ated, and then the whole audience oot
on its feet at once with a sound of mt
ting musketry. The choir sang s.Hold
the Fort" When the orchestra had
concluded the people sat down gingerly,
the services were short, and all went
nome praving for the man who had
painted the seats

The provisions of the Indian penal

The provisions of the Indian penal
code in regard to the right of private
defense are particularly sensible. Under
this law the right extends to the protec-
ton of ones own or another's body and
Of ones own or another's property. 1t
does not exist, however, when there IS
time to have recourse to the protection
of public authorities. More harm must
not be caused In its exercise than Is nee
essary for the purposes of defense. 1t
commences and ends with the apprehen-
sion of danger. Death may also be
caused in exercise of the right of private
defense of property In case of robbery,
housebreaking by night, mischief by
house trespass, when fear Of death is in
volved.-M y. Graphic.

Only little half-worn shoe

Only a little, empty bed.

Only pair of blue eyes mid

Only two busy little hands

Only no little voice to ask
Why or how.
Only tiny golden curl
Laid away
Where only Mothers eyes shall look
Day by day.
Only one little prayer the less

Only no little face to kiss
Every night.
Only one little name to sob

Only one little form to clasp

Only little snow-white stone
