HOW Old Dave Got rid Of . Devoted
Lover Of Baked shoat
tOpie r. Reedl
Dave Kensett, an industrious old negro
who lives down I'm the bottoms, Is greatly
ammo yed by the members of the church &c
which his wife belongs, and especially Is he
annoyed by Strawfoot All, the preacher.
Old Dave was known as a good liver. Baked
sboat, buttermilk AMI cabbage were nearly
always Aund on his table. No matter how
adverse the wind might be, ALI could, from
q great distance, sniff the incense of shoat,
and unless the intervening water courses
were swollen beyond q point OF safety, be
always managed to be ON hand. Naturally
enough, Dave became tired. Although moi
strictly religious, he was willing to do bis
part toward keeping up the church, Lut he
was not willing to take entire care OF the
preacher w
"Liza," old Dave one day remarked &c
his wife, "rll bet dat shoat won't be morn
brown good fore ALI will be heah wild his
mouf open"
''Oh, doan talk dater way, Dave"
wall, he will, no matter whuder talks

gunter fling dat awful nose o hizsn up inter

dat gennerman's 'vastations. He's got or
appetite Like or suck hole an blame a
gwineter STAN him no longer"
"Oh, doan speckterate dat way, Dave,
fur he's my br1ider in de church."
II doan kere IL he wuz yer bruder in de
flesh, an amt gwine ter STAN him. Why
he would break up de gubner o de state.
Wander he comes now. Whut did l dun tole

"Wa1l, for heaben's sake doan say nuthiu.

"Oh, yas, I'll treat him wild warm fren'

'Mawnin' ter yer; mawin'," said the
preacher, as he opened the gate. How

''Fust rate, gins yer thanks"
'An' vessel, Sister 'Lizap,
'Oh, Use mighty well, thanks yer, sid

The preacher sat down, took Off his plug
hat and wiped the preparation from his bali
head.
"Lemme take yer hat, Bruder Alt" said
Dave
lie took the hat, went into the kitchen,
took down box of ground red pepper and
gave the inside Of the title" q liberal sprink-
ling. Then returning to this sitting room he
placed the hat GU the bed.

SOMETHING ABOUT BELLS.

Largest in the World Liberty BeII-swiss
Bell Ringer-Be in Literature.
tChicago Herald
The Russians boast Of the largest bells in
the world, and the greatest number. The
great bell Of Moscow weighs la. OUo pounds,
and they have ono that was cast $50 years
ago that weighs 400, 900, but 1t has never
been hung. That would DO as large a. one Of
our two-story and basement yelling houses
After the Russians the Chinese rank as
makers Of large bells.
The most famous bell In the United States
Is the Liberty bell in Philadelphia, which
has lately made n successful trip to
New Orleans and back. It was first
cast in England, In l753 but cracked on the
first trial after 10 reached this country. IL
was then recast at Philadelphia was hung
at the ftate house, and on the Fourth Of
July, l776, rang out tho Declaration Of In
dependence. Tho inscription ON it Is: "Pro-
claim liberty throughout all the land unto
all the inhabitants thereof" II continued
to ring every year until ls4s In that year,
on the occasion Of the reception Of Henry
Clay at Philadelphia, IL rang out so JOY
ously that 10 cracked. since which time it
has rested In honorable ease and retirement.
Philadelphia also boasts Ut the Oldest set of

during the reign of Queen Anne At the
time of the British advance on Philadelphia
during the revolution they were taken down
and sunk In the Delaware river, where they
remained until the war was over. They
were again rehung, and still summon the
devout TO worship
Twenty five or thirty years ago the Swiss
bell ringers were all the rage, and drew
vast crowds TO their concerts. Who that
heard them win ever forget "The Wrecker's

bells has long been hushed, but concert
goers Of that time will still maintain that
we have no music nowadays at all compare
BILE to that The music and sound of bells
have never besn more exquisitely described
than In Poe's beautiful poem of "Ths Bells"
the language Of which Is as resonant as the
bells Il describes.
IL there ever was an observer Of how bells
rang, and who could translate their sounds
into wise and witty English. Dickens was
that observer. In some Of his stories the
bells sound forth only dirges, in others they
are monitors TO warn from crime, and in
others marriage bells, tho merriest and most
gieeful Of all He marries some OF his char
acters without good deal OF ringing. The
door bells are great favoritss with him. and

Tricks Of an Old smugrIcr.
Thousand Islands Leftar.l

lAhsunnnu iShhhuS LctecfsJ
There was an old man here some years
ago Of the name OF Gregg; he's dead and
gone now, and has left no relatives so 1t
won't hit any one to let out on him." said q
river boatman recently. "But when you talk
about genius as q smuggler, he was right
there He took IL from the first He was
rocked In q smugglei cradle and dosed with
smuggled medicine. and 30 II grew into him.
I'll give you sample. You know In the
winter about here the rivers freeze up solid,
20 that teams can 60 all over from the lake
10 the rapids, and when the mercury gets
down among the twenties 1t makes things
uncomfortable for green hands IL they hap
pen 10 be revenue ofiosra
ABut this sort Of winter weather was Just
the kind that old man Gregg liked, and II
was cold day when they nabbed him. You
could make q sure guess that every snow
storm would see moro or less brandy
brought over. and the way hs fixed IL was
this; Knowing that an ordinary team
would be seen on the snow and loo when
. long way of, he always started out with
Q white horse, o sleigh painted the same
color, and wearing q white rubber coat and
hat, 10 that on the Ice looked like . big snow
heap, only for the motion. They say that
the officers often passed him so near that he
could hear them breathing.
"Once when the old man was taken sick
some one went TO his place. and In fooling
around the barn, found 4, 600 or 5000 yards
Of rubber piping One line smelt Of ksro.
sens and the other Of liquor. Il was con-
cludsd that he had tried to forcs kerosene
over into Canada through one pipe, and to
draw Canadian brandy into the United
States with tho other. IL was big scheme,
but guess 10 didn't work.
Zone day the old man was seen hauling
leo on the river. He was coming up from
Chimney island. Up he goes 10 his Ice house,
unioads, and starts of after another load.
One Of the officers thought IL queer for him
10 90 10 far for leo when no had IL right
along bis own door yard; 80 he hoped on
the sled and they started of together. The
old man gave him ride down TO Chippew wa
bay, then over TO the other side, covering
about forty miles In all with the Their
momster down TO ten below zero When
the officer got home that night he was SO
stiff he nearly broke In two when he tried to
get OIL the sled. He said that old Gregg
was the most particular man for ice no ever
saw. He'd taken block here and there all
down and up the river. But there were
people that knew the old mans dodge which
was to have plugs of braniy frozen into
snow Ice and cut into blocks and piled 90
that no one would suspect 10 In the world.
Some loads Of ice would clear the old man
$50 or 500 In brandy"
