What Indaeed Young Circuit Rider
to Qlit the Cloth.

mo more preaching for me- said n
young circuit rider, who had started out
with bright prospects and two pairs of
home-knit socks. II didn't mind per-
suading people to lead better lives, but
the fact is, the walls were too thin where
/ boarded. Icould lie in my room and
hear everything that was said in the adj
joining room. Ididn't like this. don t
like to be an eavesdropper. The other
night ! was lying in my room, not trying
to. listen, but couldn't help but hear:''
That's fine preacher, said the old man.
Got a mouth like stove door. Got a
devilish sight more appetite than rcli-
gion. Did you see him make pass ut
that shoat? Wonder the hogs don't squeal
when he comes around
"'You oughtenter to talk about him in
that way said the old lady, fur he's doin
the best he kin. l don't like it though
the way he dove into that butter. Now
he onghter to know how scarce butter is.
l do believe that be could eat two pounds
ut one setin'. Did yon notice Tonight
when he got down to pray? Had his eye
on that BASKET of aigs all the time. My
stars. If that's the kind Of preachers they
are goin. to send out, we'd as well open
the snoke-house and be done with it.
That fellows hungry all the time. and
aesiias that he can't preach. Talks like
his mouth Is full of mush. He'll never
be success in CALM monrnels; make d
better hand at cillin' hogs
Every night | was compelled to hear
such remarks, until decided that my
appetite was too strong for one following
smerk and lowly trail. .--.irkassai,
