GRANDFATHER SLEPT ON

and it took four healthy members of the
Women's Sewing circle to wake him I'D.
This little break nearly cost him his Job,
but they finally kept him with the under
standing that he needn't expect but one
donation party year. Grandfather kept
right on preaching in that place until cir
cumstance over which he had no control
compelled him to tender his resignation
which was promptly accepted. BY this
time he had arrived at that point where he
had two pair of trousers. A heavy pair for
winter and lighter ones for summer. When
the winter months opened and he put on
his heavy trousers, he always hung his light
weights Oh nail in the attic, where moths
would not corrupt nor thieves break in and
purloin. One Sunday morning in the spring
of which l write, he told grandmother
that it was pretty warm and he thought
he would preach in his summer
trousers that day. Grandmother said if
would be good idea and grandfather put
them on and went to his pulpit. 1t was a
beautiful day, and the little church was full
OF country folks who had come miles to
drink in the words of wisdom that had a
habit of dropping fiom grandfathers lips.
In the great. tall pulpit that looked almost

body to pray as long as their appetite held
out, and at last old Deacon CalkinS kneIt
down. The deacon was one of these earn
est, impetuous prayer makers who never
knew when to break away and that night
he was evidently anxious to beat his own
record for he knelt down and prayed
for fifteen minutes and showed
no signs that he was getting
groggy. Grandfather listened patiently
during all this while. and finally he began
to nod and at last his chin fell upon his
breast and he slept On went the deacon
with his prayer and on slept my grandfather.
At last raising his voice to a high pitch the
deacon cried, ''Fhou shalt not muzzle the
OK when he treadeth out the corn" The
words broke into my grandfather's dream
and he said in clear voice, ''Muzzle him,
wal, l should say not. Eff emmy OK treads
on my corns I'll pound his rump with er
milkin' stool" This somewhat disturbed
the equilibrium of the prayer meeting and
the deacon brought his appeal to a close,

COMING DOWN FROM THE PULPIT
five steps at Jump. with each hand clutch
ing the rear of his trousers and whooping
at the top of his voice. Out through the
door he shot, and down the road like mad
he flew, with half the congregation, who
thought he had gone crazy, after him.
He rushed home and fell on
the kitchen floor in fit OF
fainting, and Deacon CauIkips was the first
one to reach the house, and finding grand
father on the floor in a stupor, he placed
him on bed and began to remove his
clothes. When he took off grandfather's
summer trowsers he discovered little
drab wasp nest, and the bulge Of the
breaches was full of lively wasps that had
built their winter home there while the
trousers hung on the nail in the attic.
They had made their presence known
to grandfather while he was praying, and
he had done his best to conceal his emotion
from the congregation, but was at last
obliged to give expression to his pent-up
feelings. Deacon Caulkins tried to
explain the situation to the people
but they wouldn't believe it,
and insisted that they wouldn't listen to
the preaching of man who was possessed
with the devil, as he undoubtedly was, so
grandfather was obliged to quit preaching
and turn his undivided attention to farm
Ing, and this he did with profitable success,
raising large crops of corn and several
children, Grandfather will be buried next
Monday in the little private graveyard at
the base Of Porcupine hill, where grand
mother has slept for the past ten years. In
quiet little nook beneath the friendly
shadows OF a stalwart oak he will be laid
by grandmothers side away from the
world and its narrowing cares, where the
angels may come and commune with their
spirits; where the stars light up the high
ways, and heaven and nature is buried in
peaceful and dreamless slumber. Yours

Lords who DabbEe i'm Stocks.

New York World.
The Earl OF Shrewsbury and Talbot. who
scandalized the British aristocracy some
time ago by engaging in trade, having put
500, 900 into the cab business in London,
has now added to his commercial under
takngs by retailing coal. The nobility in
general are at last beginning to make them
selves useful. A number of younger sons
of noblemen follow agricultural pursuits
and have opened milk and butter shops in
London. Lords and dukes now dabble
openly in the stock exchange. A duchess
resigned her place as waiting to the
queen some time ago to open millinery
shop, because there was more money in it,
and the Earl of Kenmare, chamberlain to
her0majesty the queen, whose Irish tenants
cannot or will not pay him any rent on his
deeply encountered estates, is about to es-
tablish number of gin shops in London.

WRAT DOES hT MATTERq

Wealth and glory, and place and power,
what are they worth to me and you?
For the lease of life runs out in an hour,
And death stands ready to claim his due;
Sounding honors Or heaps of gold,
What are they when all is told?
A pain or pleasure, smile or tear
What does 1t matter which we claim?
For we step from the cradle into the bier.
And careless world goes on the same
Hours of gladness or hours of sorrow.
What does it matter to US Tomorrow?
Truth of love, or VOW of friend
Tender caresses or cruel sneers-
What do they matter to US in the end?
For the brief day dies, and the long night
nears.
Passionate kisses, or tears of gall,
The grave will open and cover them all.
Homeless vagrant, or honored guest,
Poor and humble, or rich and great,
All are racked with the worlds unrest,
Ali must meet with the common fate.
Life from childhood till we are old,
What is ali when all is told?
