In the woods failed 70 exhaust his stock
of good stories.
On OF occasion. however, he found
himself an unwelcome guest, and was
cOldly received by the man who was
accustomed TO entertain visitors. He
had gone TO a noted trout-Stream in the
interior of Pennsylvania. and sought
lodgings with man who had long
served as guide TO strangers.
The man at first repulsed him, and
refused entertainment, saying: II at
tended a protracted meeting last winter,
and became religious. The Lord for
gave my sins. and Joined the Method

pany any longer with the class of men
that come here to fish"
But the doctor pleasant manners won
him over. and he finally consented to
take the stranger in and TO show the
way next morning to the trout-Stream.
When they returned, late in the after
noon. the man said. frankly:
doc, like you" and slapped him
familiarly on the shoulder.
What do you like me for?" asked the
doctor.
We'll. doc, I'll tell you. We've been
out most all day: We haven't caught
much, you fell in and got wet, and /
haven't heard you swear once"
The doctor smiled inwardly at this
dubious compliment, but said nothing
to betray his profession.
After supper. as he was sitting outside
the cottage. the man came to him and
said. with little hesitation: "Doc, since
fined the church I've had prayers ev-
cry night. We are going to have them
now. and may be YOU wouldn't object to
come in.
Dr. Bethune heartily accepted the in
vitation. He listened attentively TO the
stammering reading of a chapter in the
Bible, and Joined Justify in an old-fash-
Toned Methodist HYMN. The host
watched him closely and then said. in
a doubtful tone: MAY be you wouldn't
mind leading us in prayer?"
The doctor prayed in the simple and
earnest manner which those familiar
with him Will never forget, and then
went out again to the porch and soil

DIR. Bethunc laughed heartily at the

that he had been found out and was a

one Of the far west, is the constant travel OF
the emigrant wagon through its streets, and

An unusual number Of emigrants passed
through the streets yesterday; an unusual
number are still in camp in the Fifth ward.
One day csvalcade rolls out for the far
west, and at night the same camp fires are

settler, and tells tale of hardy pioneering
that they have experienced. The march of
