"Mr. CARROTS death reminds me OF
a story" remarked an old railroader

war. was running an engine on the b.
and O. In those days there were
good many slaves getting away from
their masters in Virginia and making
for Pennsylvania. So the owners club
bed together and established patrol "a
long the B. and o. For more than
hundred miles they kept an average OF
three men to every mile where there
was timber, watching the track nights
with dogs and guns to catch any slave
that would attempt to cross. One night
was running freight west. All of a
sudden before me in the light from my
red lamp | saw colored man standing
on the track. He had a heavy stick in
his hand, and was fighting for life with
a pack of dogs. Down the track | saw
three slave hunters running toward the
negro. tell you it was a sight that

my dinner bucket back to the negro.
He devoured it like starving man. He
must have been a peculiar negro, for
when my fireman came back there were
streaks down his coal-begrimed face.
He had been crying. He said that mig

box car. My bucket was empty when it

Bill Nye Describes a Cyclone.

Like apeacful Ute stealing up through
the sheltering ambush to saw open the
throat of dear friend, comes the ring
tailed peeler of the sky, scarcely NOV
ing the green leaves as he steals along
the valley on his hind legs. The air is
like the atmosphere of death. No sound
is heard except the thud of the work
mans axe as it burries itself in the heart
OF pine tree that belongs to some one
else. The sun has dropped behind a
dull, grey cloud that is faced with pale
green. Still lower down the steel-grey
and purple clouds come boiling over
the tree tops. The tree-toad makes a
few nasultory remarks, katydid says
good evening"" and the premature
twilight has come. Up from the south
west comes a sullen mutter, crash, a
roar, like twenty oceans in joint caucus,
the rush of falling trees, the crash of
giant hailstones, the thunder of falling
waters, and like the deadly charge of
heavens artillery, it is over. That is a
cyclone-one of the adult variety when
it is feeling well. When you see one
of that kind sliding up into the sky, do
not try to twist its tail as it goes by. 1t
takes strong, quick man to reach out
over the dasher-board and twist the tail
of cyclone. He must be strong in the
wrists, cool headed, and soon in move
ments.-Denyer Opinion.

Conference Of Baptist Ministers,
AT North Springfield, Vt.

A two days meeting of the Woodstock
Conference was held, Oct. 2S and 20,
with Pastor Robbins.
| The programc prepared for the first
day was somewhat broken, because
some members of the Conference were
absent.
Those present have spoken well of
Review of "Jewish Proselyter Bap-
tism," presented by Pastor Patterson;
of the "Sermon Plan" by Pastor King;
and the s!E iegesis of l Cor. 10: 5S,"
bv Rev. w. ii. Rugs of Perkinsville.
The sermon, Tuesday evening was
given by Rev. W ii. Stewart, who is
acting as Pastor of the church at Perk-
insville. 1t was good sermon, not the
preachers best, for it was rather long.
Wednesday was spent in hearing and
discussing the following papers:-Ihe
position and work of Baptists, ''presen-
ted by Pastor Henry :-"Our duty of
ordaining councils" by Rev. 5. f.
Brown; "Method of church work." by
Pastor Randall; and "'The Ideal Preach
ing for today" by Pastor Head. The
articles by Pastor Henry and Mr..
Brown were good and true, but neither
new or striking.
1t was the strongly expressed opinion
of the Conference, that it is the duty OF
an ordaining council not to ordain a
man who uses tobacco.
Pastor Randallss essay was accepted
with sincere commentator forts bright
fresh, and original treatment of the sub
iect. Pastor Head in the "ldeal preach
ing to-day" gave briefly most excel
lent treatment of his subject. The Ideal
was shown to be: ''That which most dl-
rcctly reaches the heart, produces con-
viction. and leads the nearer to Christ"
The essay, the classic, the ri9idly log
ical and the severely methodical styles
were each declared good, ina sense, but
not the ideal for to-day. Five points
were given, which together, ought to
mark the ideal preaching.
/. It must be evangelical, drawn
from the word of God.
2. 1t must be from wide range OF
knowledge and illustration.
5. Itshould be presented i'll the plain
est possible style and language.
4. 1t must be mainly without manu-
script.
5. 1t should come from a heart filled
with the Holy Spirit, presenting
thoughts stepped in prayer.
