Not a Joking Subject.

There is one very careless habit of q
great many excellent married people.
How often we hear man joke his wife
about getting married second time, or a
wife perpetrate the same sort of ghastly
pleasantly at the expense of her husband.
They would not do it if they were to
stop and think but moment. Did you
ever hear wife joke about the death of
her child, or her mother, or her brother,
sister, or father? No, no. But society
is running over with those who joke
about the death Of their husbands. It's
the most thoughtless sort of humor ever
invented, It is trifling with the most
serious subject on earth.
We decry irreverent passages in play
or public address. 1t makes the blood
chill to see rude hands laid on that
which is sacred. Love is sacred, mar
riage is sacred, death is awful. The one
ever painful thought to those who are
happily wed is that death comes at last
to take one away and leave the other q
lonely survivor. Conceive, then, tn"
hideous Aippancy of that wife's conver-
sa,iou who speculates in jest as to her
successor. What violence does hus-
band do a precious thing when he in bis
Imagination jumps over the grave of his
wife and dances like clown into the
arena of widowerhood, ready for another
matrimonial enterprise Chicago 7Ti'

Evolving q Story.

"Ah p said Smith, a commercial trav-
eler, to group of friends, ~ was witness
to sight just before leaving Chicago"
And then he told how he had seen a
poor German immigrant with his wife
and family of eight yellow. haired chill
dren, how he had become interested in
them, and had learned that they had left
their native land to seek a home in the
Northwest. He was touched with the
tenderness of the father and saw him
purchasing apples for the children. All
the family except the father had taken
their seats on the train and he was just
making change for his small purchase
when the train began to move out of the
station. He made rush for it, slipped,
and then, before the eyes of the poor
family and other horror.struck passen-
gers, his head was taken off by the cars.
Smiths friends were much affected
and it was decided to take up purse for
the poor widow and fatherless children,
and this was speedily done and neat
sum presented to Smith to be forwarded
He, with tears in his eyes, said:
"My friends, I thank you, but l can
conceal it no longer. That train took off
the rest of the man, and he still lives"
Smith will not travel this week He is
laid up for repairs.-Dcfroh Free Press

Alleged Cures by Prayer.

JANEsv1LLE, Wis, March l.-Presid.
ing Elder Lugg of the Methodist Episco.
pal Church reports the following remark
able cases which have come under his
observation: At Aliens Grove, Wis,
during the past month, Mrs. Slossop,
who claimed to have been herself healed
by faith, was called to the bedside of a
gentleman named Hoerley, who had been
sick for six months and had been given
up as incurable BY two physicians. He
expressed belief in faith cure, and a
prayer meeting was held at his house, in
the course of which he believed himself
cured and arose from his bed. He dress
ed himself, walked around and was able
to walk to church the next Sunday.
The other case is that of a veteran Of
the civil war, named Smith. He has
not been able to walk without crutcEes
for years, one leg being diseased, and for
weeks at time he was unable to 60 out
of doors. He was converted during
revival, and like Hoerder professed to
believe in faith cure. A prayer meeting
was held at his home recently, and before
it was ended lie was walking about rs
briskly as any one. Both parties insist
that their cures were accomplished
through supernatural agencies. Although
Elder Lugg is no believer in this kind of
healing, he gives the facts as he found
them, and admits that he is unable to
account for them.

A Georgia Pine That Bears Acorns.

Captain John l.. Martin prominent
citizen of Johnston County, Georgia, has
shown the editor of the Washington, Ga,
Recorder an acorn which grew on pine
tree. Says the Recorder:
Near his plantation home, which is
situated eight or ten miles from this
place, stands the lree-a simonpure pine
which bears the unnatural fruit. The
tree is an ordinary, medium size speci-
men of its kind, and to person standing
twenty steps away, would attract no
spe cial attention among the others stand
ing ,hickly grouped about. A nearer
inspection, However, would reveal its re-
markab,e identity. Thickly perched
upon every twig and bow are to be seen
these acorns, varying in size the same as
they flourish on their parent stem, the
oak. lnterspers.d !.ere and there upon
the tree are the original pine burs.
Captain Martin considers it a most re-
markahle freal of nature, and he is GER
tainly correct. He can form no plausible
reason for the amalgamation and cannot
in any way scc'unt for tie hybri state
thus established. The tree, with the
acorns on it, is there to show for itself,
and the captain will take pleasure in
showing it to auy ore WIZ would ike to
SEQ the wonderful curiosity.

A Great Many Widows.

Thereport of the Commissioner of Pen.
sions presents some curious facts. At
the close of the last fiscal year there were
on the rolls, "2,945 survivors of the war
of 1912, and 1922 widows of those who
served in that war;" In other words, the
widows outnumbered the survivors six to
one.
According to the same authority the
total number of applications filed from
1871, when the law took effect for this
class Of pensioners, to 1885 was: survi-
vors, 1853; widows, 1883. This
shows how rapidly the survivors, widows
have gained on the survivors.
When it is remembered that the war of
1872 closed over seventy years ago, sur
prise may be we'll excited that there
should now be more than twenty thou
sand pensioners on the rolls, Of whom
1922 are widows. At what age did they
marry, and are soldiers WIDOWS e&cep'
tionalIy endowed with long lives? Ex-
act answers to these questions would
furnish interesting information, and
might reduce the number of pensioners.
The Commissioner says that "extended
inquiries are being prosecuted with a
view to purging the pension rolls of the
various agencies of the names of those
fraudulenlly and illegally borne thereon,
and great success is attending the work"
This assurance is general in terms, and,
of course, does not apply to any special
class of pensioners. But every class
should be carefully examined.--New
York iSun.

such leader, with such IN army to do

5. We should remember the promise
in James iv. 7, "Resist the devil and he
will flee from you" Thisis positive and
emphatic. We need only firnipess and
courage to secure deliverance from the
most subtle and persistent attacks of the
tempter. Satan is strong only when We
are weak. If we yield, then he presses
the advantage that we give him. He is
like human bully. Present bold
front and he will fee.
G. We should remember, finally, that.
in this contest, while Satan tries to en-
slave us, God and bis angels respect our
freedom. They will not help us so as to
degrade US. They wait until we call
upon them. They want us 10 develop
our christian manhood by leading the as.

hearts, but will stand without, grieved
by our neglect, and marvelng at our un.
belief. If we don't believe in the minis.
try of angels, they will not minister to
us. Their Lord will not serd them
where their services are not recognized
and honored. o, if there were faith in

Sized Her up Wrong.

Old Col. Porterfeld was hard man.
He worked his wife-a good, patient
wolnan-to death upon his plantation.
On her death bed, when too late, his eyes
we're opened to the great wrong he had
done, and he begged her forgiveness.
"Et is easy enough for me to forgive"
she gasped, but my forgiveness will not
cause your coming punishment to be
lessened. 1 feel that you are going to
be punished on this earth" She turned
her face away from him and died.
The Colonel's season of grief was not
long. He soon put on his best clothes
and showed himself at the hog Killings
and other places of amusement His
friends were shocked, but said nothing.
Soon there came into the neighborhood
a graceful woman, Antionette Polworth.
The Colonel met her and was charmed.
He called on her. She received him
kindly and eventually they we're married.
Six months of almost unbroken happi-
ness flew away, but now the ColonePs face
sometimes wore an anxious expression
His wife was not so fair as she had been,
and the Colonel had discovered that the
waving hair which he had so much ad-
mired was sometimes at night hung on the
corner Of the mantelpiece. He found
also that he had been deceived in other
ways, and the spirit of revenge arose in
his injured breast.
"A.nlionette," the Colonel one day
remarked, in a voice which had lost
much of its wonted gentleness, Caroline
is ill to-day, and I want you to go out
aud weave jeans for the negroes. got
good price for the stuff and / cannot
afford to see the loom idle"
"Well, then, don't look at it." Antio.
nette carelessly replied.
The Colonel nibbled his lips and
sternly said:
"Woman, want no foolishness."
"Don't have it then"
ri won't. Go out there and weave or
you'll feel the uugentle force of retribu-
tive authority"
Antionette laughed. The Colonel
took hold of her nose and gave it a turn
as though he would unscrew it. Antio'
nette put aside stocking she had been
darning, knocked the Colonel down with
lightning-like slap, put one foot under
him, threw him across the room, sat
down and resumed her peaceful occupa.
tion. after awhile the Colonel sat up
and gazed upon her in establishment.
"Antionette," he feebly said.
"W'bat, dear"
"You needn't weave"
"Tlank you, DEAR"
"You have convinced me that a woman
should have few rights, but, say, how
did you do it? Where did you acquire
the facts which you have just embodied
into such an unanswerable argumentw
"Colonel," she replied, s'pardon me for
not sooner telling you. For many years
I was the cannon ball woman and the
n,jawed maiden in the circus. Don't
get excited, dear. I shall not give you
another exhibition until you attempt to
get divorce from ME. Then will take
you up in my teeth and shake you"
The Colonel went out, leaned on a
horse block and groaned. His first wife's
prediction was verified -Arkansa,c 7Fac-

He Forgot Something After All.

Bloomsby, who is out on the road
great deal, is quite forgetful. When
packing his valise to go away he is pretty
apt to leave something whose loss causes
him not little Inconvenience. The last
time he went out his wife told him to
think of The articles be wished to take
and then to tie strings around his fingers
to represent each one. AS fast as be put
an article in his vaise he could take off
a string, so that if any strings were left
he would know in time that he had for
gotten something. He concluded To
follow her advice, and the articles lie
wished TO take and the strings on his
fingers corresponded exactly.
"This time," he said, proudly, as he
laid down his valise to go to breakfast,
ri have the satisfaction Of knowing that
I haven't forgotten anything"
An hour later he was we'll on his way
to Kankakee. Suddenly it struck him
that he had forgotten something. He
