A Story OF the RorealIs.

The place was the old Warsaw camp
ground in Milton county, Georgia. The
time recently. A large and seriously
attentive congregation had assembled for
the night service, the negroes in the rear
of the pulpit, as was the custom in those
days before the war. The preecher was
q talented young man, at that time sta
toned at Marietta. He had reached a
point in the sermon at which he held the
almost undivided attention of the vast
audience, and perfect quiet reigned.
Just at that moment, when the interest
was most intense, an old negro woman
hoped over into the altar, right in front
of the preacher. and shrilly cried out (:
"Hallelujahl the judgment day am
come" Her joyful exclamation caused
the crowd to look out from under the
arbor, and, sure enough, there was a
striking and magnificent spectacle.
The northern heavens were lit up by a
gorgeous aurora. Not many in that
crowd understood the phenomena, which,
in fact is rarely observable from southern
latitudes, and, not understanding, many
concluded that the old auntie's explana-
tion was the true one. "Ah! then there
was hurrying to, and gathering tears,
and tremblings of distress" Indeed, so
great was the commotion that there was
imminent danger of stampede and that
somebody would be crushed in the sway
ing crowd.
1t was at this crisis a preacher, we'll
known to Methodist circles, tall, angu-
lar, red-headed, with the voice of a
stentor, ran out and mounted a con-
venient stump. "Be calm, my friends, 4"
he shouted, "be calm. This is not the
judgment day, for how could the judg-
ment day come in the nightl" The in,
congruity struck the people with sooth
ing force, their fears subsided, the
preacher finished his sermon and order
reigned in Warsaw. - FairbHn (Ga.

Tie MegaphOne.

The introduction of the megaph one
on shipboard-a sort of telescope for the
ear, or rmachine for magnifying the sound
lis said TO be boon in prospect for
mariners. Its design is to enable per-
son to hear or carry on a conversation
with people at a distance, and it is con-
structed of two huge cone shaped tubes,
eight feet long and three in diameter at
the large end, which diminish to an apex
in the form Of rubber tubes small enough
to place in the ear. Between these tubes
are two smaller ones, constructed in the
same manner. but not more than half the
diameter. By placing the rubber tubes
in the ear and speaking through the
smaller cones the person can hear and be
heard at long distance, and it thus aids
mariners in listening for the sound Of
breakers, or carrying on conversation
with persons on shore or on other vessels
at distance,

How a Battery Captured Supplies.

The following war story is told by a
Cleveland (Ohio) Leader correspondent,
who belonged to Federal battery:
We knew it would be night before the
slow naced baggage wagons reached
Bowling Green, and perhaps morning
before we could find them. The thought
made the soldiers raveAous. Clearly
something must be done to procure ra-
tions for supper. Far off down the road
in front we could see negro driving an
OK team, making his way home, p.oba-
bly, scared into an ayue fit by the sudden
appearance of the Yankees. 1t was the
first time, the reader must remember,
that the Federal troops had penetrated
the South, and the many colored people
regarded them with comical terror. The
negro was making what haste he could
to avoid being overtaken. At this mo-
ment a wheel ran off from the leading
gun carriage and the first detachment
halted, drawing to one side to enable
the battery to pass. In minute or two
it was replaced, but by this time the
battery had thundered by the OK team,
leaving the negro halt paralyzed with
fear, sitting in his wagon by the road
side.
A hurried consultation in the detach-
ment resulted in the sergeant giving it
one minute to convert the oxen into
beef. We approached the team on a
run, halted, and while the negro still sat
on the wagon with staring eyes, shiver-
ing with fright, twenty men fell to the
work of slaughter. They worked like
wild men for fear of losing their rations.
In minute or two it was all over, eight
quarters of beef adorned the csison
chests, the detachment clattered on the
run to overtake the battery, and the
negro still sat on his wagon, gazing al
ternately at the hides, heads and debris
encumbering the yoke and wagon
tongue, and the flying artillery disap-
pearing down the road.

Sam -JOnesiSms.

The following extracts are from
sermons delivered by Rev. Sam Jones,
the Southern revivalist:
If you sow whiskey you reap drunk
ards.
A man who will swear before his chill
dren is a brute.
The truth flows from good man like
molasses from a jug.
A good man is like city set upon a
hill; you can't hide him.
Some of you men have sowed enough
seed to damn the world.
The gambler is invariably the son of a
Christian family. Why is thisl
A man who gets drunk will steal If he
is not too much afraid of the Jail.
Most of you don't care if your neigh
Dor goes hungry so you have enough.
Live so your children may put their
feet in your tracks and be honorable.
There's merchant in this town who
tells the truth, and he's mighty lone
some.
If you want TO know what your neigh
bors think of you, disguise yourself aud
go among them.
The man who don't laugh needs a liver
medicine. The moper and growler never
goes to heaven.
The most beautiful sight in this world
is to see man leading his wife aud
children into the gates of heaven.
Preachers know a good deal more
about their flocks than they dare tell. 1t
might endanger their salaries.
"Whatsoever a man soweth he shall
reap" is true, both in the Bible and a
manac, whether God says it or not.
Your daughter may be beautiful and
lovely, but the first thing you know the
devil may pack off drunken son-in-law
on you.

Miss Alice Fletcher, the student of
Indian household customs, says that
among Sioux, when one family borrows
kettle from another, it is expected that
when the kettle is returned small por-
tion of the food that has been cooked in
it will be left in the bottom. The lam
guage has particular word to designate
this remnant. "Should this custom be
disregarded by any one, that person
would never be able to borrow again, as
the owner must always know what was

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN,
l7T6,
PHILADELPHIA.

Inside the cover at the back is an old
fashioned jewelers. card showing that
the watch was repaired January "a, 1917,
by Thomas Parker, of Philadelphia. On
the heavy gold face the words Nv. Tom
linson, London, 1871" shows where the
timepiece was made. Little of the his.
tory of the watch is known, except that
after Franklin's death it was worn by
his son-in-law, Richard Bache, who lost
it in Philadelphia hotel, while on a
visit from his homestead in Bensalem,
Bucks county, Penn.
Mr.. Croft purchased the watch many
years ago from an aged friend, long since
dead, who had owned it so long that he
had forgotten how it came into his pos
session. 1t is thought that the watch
was presented to Franklin when he rep
resented the Independent Colonies in the
British court in London. Mr.. Croft has a
large number of relics of Pennsylvania.
The watch has been in his possession
nearly thirty years, during which time il
has never been repaired, and still keeps
accurate time.

The Water Wolf.

Pike have curious instinct, which
sometimes causes them to embark OF
land journeys in search of food and
water, if deprived of either of these nee
essaries to their existence. Mr. Newn-
ham, an English resident at Antwerp, in
order to test this theory of migration
made two new ponds and stocked one
with pike and the other with small fresh
water fish, such as dace, roach, barbel,
etc. After two days he had both ponds
emptied, when it was discovered that
many of the pike had travelled by some
means or other from their own pond into
that of their neighbors and had devoured
the greater part of them. That these
pike should have taken less than two
days to think out their marauding plan
and put it into practice is an additional
proof that the water-wolf is at least pos
sessed of prompt and decided charac-
ter. These Antwerp pike attained their
end land that of the small fry), but an
sther pike on record came near having q
different fate. He adorned the aqua.
rum of the Geological gardens. One
night the glass tank in which
be lived broke, and the water
wolf, not appreciatfng being left thus
high and dry, was found by the keeper
at distance of twenty-four yards away,
making for piece of water. Fortu.
nately for him, he was not allowed to
reach it, for that pond contained the
otters, who would no doubt have greatly
appreciated q morning call from a fine
! young pike.

Tagging the indians.

General Frank Armstrong, Indian in
spector, who has Just returned from an
Official visit to the San Carlos agency,
says he found everything there in first
class order He says that each buck on
the reservation is tagged, and is required
to wear his tag in sight. These tags are
made of brass ana in different shapes.
The shape indicates the tribe to which
the bearer belongs, and letter of the
alphabet shows to which band of tine
tribe he is attached. A number stamped
on the tag indicates the individual In
dian. On the roll his name is written
opposite TO that number, SO that in the
payment of annuitles and the issuing OF
fations each buck is easily identified.
When the time of settlement with them
comes around, any Indian who does moi
produce his tag is sentenced to sixty
days in the guard house. = Washington
