In a Hopeless Minority.
Philadelphia North American

Among Rev. Henry Ward Beechers
many accomplishments not the least is his
ability as story-teller. To much anus
ed listeners he recently told this one
about a New York drummer. A typical
knight of the grip sack" was detained at
small town in Western New York a
while ago where revival meeting was i'll
progress. He had met party of convi-
vial friends during his stay there, and
had what is popularity known as "a load
on" Nevertheless, he drifted into the re-
vival meeting and took a seat well up in
front. 1t was rather close in the church.
and the warm air was conducive to sleep
The drummer yielded to the drowsy god
and after noddiug n little, sank into q
profound slumber, and slept through the
minister's rather long and dry discourse
The audience sang hymn and the drum
mer slept on. Then the evangelist began
his address, and wound up his fervid APP
peal with this request:
"Will all of you who want to go to
heaven please rise
Every one in the church except the
sleepy drummer arose. When the evan
gilist asked them to be seated, one of the
brothers in the same pew as the sleeping
drummer accidentally brushed against
him as he sat down. The drummer rub
bed his eyes, and, partially awake, heard
the last portion of the evangelist's request
which was:
Now l want all of you who want to go
to hell to stand up"
The drummer struggled little, leaned
little forward uusteadily and rose from
his seat in a dazed sort Of a way. A sort
of suppressed laugh he heard from some
of the younger people. and an expression
of horror he noticed on the faces OF
some of the older ones. Steadying him
self against the rail helooked at the evan
gelist an instant and then said:

HONEST OLD ABE.
How Ii ncoln Made Use Of an Almanac.
Alants Constitution.


Anecdotes of Lincoln are innumeaable
but now and then new one floats out on
the tide of gossip. An old citizen of
Washington gives me this one, which
never heard or read before: In his boy
hood Lincoln was befriended by family
in humble circumstances who generously
aided him in the effort to attain advance
ment in life. He afterward left his little
town to seek a wider sphere of action
with mental vow to repay the kindness
of these unsefish friends. After many
years he returned to the scene of his early
struggle successful lawyer, with name
already known to fame. The community
was agitatated over a murder committed
in its midst by one of its townsfolk, Lin
coin was requested TO undertake the de-
Tense; the particulars were furnished him,
and by strange interposition of fate he
saw the very way to repay his early debt
for the accused was the son of his early
friend. There was little chance to refute
the evidence against the young man, for
two respected citizens swore to the rec
ognition of his face by the light of the
moon as they surprised him at the side of
his victim. Lincoln arose TO open the
defense. He carelessly asked for an al
maniac, which he saw lying on the clerks
desk simply to gain time, while he sought
in his mind for a clew To the Vmpathies
of the iury-a cold, hard set of men,
with convictions already formed. As he
abstractedly tiattened the leaves of the
book his eye, even at this trying moment
lit up with something akin TO that keen
sense of humor so characteristic of him,
and he began his speech. His words fell
like the rafting of artillery upon the as
tonished, spell-bound audience, and with
out leaving the box the jury returned a
verdict of mot guilty" He cleared the
prisoner and found the witnesses guilty
of perjury.
But, gentlemen" said Lincoln, gears
after in telling this story, u was careful
to keep that almanac in my hand the
while, and to carry it out of court with
me-there was no other copy there"
what had the almanac to do with it?''
questioned my friend.
1T was a year old" said Lincoln, with
a twinkle of humor in his eye, land prov
ed conclusively that the moon did not
shine on the night OF the date of the
murder-in the previous year. When the
truth leaked out, as of course it did, they
could not try the man over again, and
wisely concluded that silence is golden"

They Always Bite.
Detroit Free Pres.

A good-looking well-behaved stranger
had been stopping in country town in
this state for three or four days, when one
day, as a dozen men we're hanging around
the hotel doors, humble youth with white
eyebrows and lowered head passed along
leading a calf. Both travelled as if it we're
an everyday thing, but no one thought of
this until afterward.
" Boy" called the stranger from the
hotel steps, what do you ask for that
calf?"
" Won't sell him
How much does he weighS'
Nigh upon 100 pounds
/" 1t can't be. Gentlemen, I'd like to
wager that l can come nearer that calf
weight than any of you"
A dozen citizens got up and walked
around the calf and squinted their eyes and
mentally estimated Then sort OF pool
was formed to scoop the stranger, and
$25 was contributed There were eleven
guesses TO his one, and they ranged from
l47 to 1853 pounds. He guessed 15S and
half and when the animal was placed on
the scales the stranger was only two ounces
short. As he raked in the pot and the
boy and the calf passed on man drove
up in a buggy and called out:
" This ere game has been played all
over the country and it's time to move on
somebody! Where's the William"
" Here I am" answered the stranger.
" / arrest youl Get into the buggy"
His sachel was ready and he got in, and
it was a whole day before the villagers
found out that the man with the buggy
was confederate employed to do that
very thing.
