MASSACHUSETTS MINISTER TO START AN.
OTHER Scot OF CHRISTIANS.


OTHER SECT OF CHRISTIANS.
The Rev. II. f. Titus, former pastor of
the Baptist Church at Newton, Mass, has
concluded to try and start new church,
whose members shall undertake to live as
the first Christians lived. MIR. Titus resign
ed his pastorate some time ago to study
medicine in order to better fit himself for
missionary work; but his people persuaded
him to go on preaching until recent SUM-
day, when he told them that he should not
enter the pulpit again; that he had ceased
to be Baptist; that there was no other
church that be could go to, since none at
tempted to live the ideal life patterned out
in the Gospel and that he had no choice
but to attempt to start one of his own.
Mr., Titus thinks that in the ideal church,
such as he proposes to found, there should
be no rich, no poor; that the members
should give generously one to another;
that they should take care Of each
other better than Free Masons or any SINH.
lar society and that there should be no so.
cial distinctions among them.

A Teu-DOllar Fence.
THE RAILROAD WOULD NOT BUILD TIT COST
THR COMPANY $4,000.


There has been dispute for some time,
says an exchange, between the Buffalo and
Philadelphia Railroad company and a
strong minded farmer at East Hickory, Pa ,
whose land adjoins the railroad, over a
few rods of fence. The company insists
that the farmer should build it, as it is to
keep his cattle safe from the cars. The
farmer insists that the railroad endangers
his stock and therefore should build and
maintain the feLce. A few days ago the
company's representative informed the
farmer that if by reason of the fence heing
down any of his cows were killed on the
railroad the company would not be respon-
sible.
On Monday an old one-horned cow of
the farmers got on the track, just before a
freight train was due. The engineer saw
the COW but knowing the stubborn way in
which the farmer had refused to protect his
cattle, he said to his tremen that he
wouldn't whistle for the COW, but would
knock her sky high, just to teach the old
skinillnt lesson. The COW wasn't knock
ed sky high, but was thrown under the
wheels of the locomotive, throwing it down
the bank and taking most of the train with
1t. The engineer had his leg broken. The
locomotive and ten cars were demolished,
and the contents Of the cars destroyed
The cost to the company for giving the
old farmer lesson will amount to $4,000.
The fence would have cost $40, and the
chances are that the COW will have to be
paid for by the company.

The meanest man has been discovered,
by a large majority. 1t is he that takes a
local newspaper for five or six years and
then, without remilting the amount of the
subscription price, has the postmaster send
the official card bearing the stereotyped
legend, ~ beg leave to inform you that
your paper addressed to Mr.. - is not
taken from this office Reason refused"
Such man would cause even the crank
who knows "just how newspaper should
be conducted" to blush for shame in the
matter of meanness and monumental gall.

Following Ruts.
WHAT AN ExPERIENoED MAN SAYS ABOUT A
BAD PRACTICE.

BAD PRACTICE.
People who are observant, have been fire.
quently impressed by the practice of most
drivers of horses on the highways OF fol-
lowing rut-pursuing it, until they wear
cut in road deep enough to sink the
wheels Of vehicles below the felo VS.. This
could be avoided if all the drivers would
avoid running their vehicles In ruts, and
the even wear of road maintained
Every vehicle that is run in ruts of roads,
is more or less injured by being wrenched
in the twists to which their wheels are sub
jected when confined in such narrow limits.
A very little care in this matter would
greatly add to the preservation of the
smoothness and beauty of all highways.
People who constantly run in ruts, become
cranky and garrulous, and vehicles that
run IN the same way on public highways,
spoil the road on which they are wheeled,
and become unsafe and unpleasant as
means of conveyance. Don't pursue or
drive in ruts.-E1.

The farmer Is the man who moves the
world we might say. IT he would go out
on strike, and refuse to raise crop for
single year, 1t would undoubtedly produce
a more disastrous effect than would result
from universal strike of all other labor
organizations combined. In fact he could
paralyze the world, yet there are many
people who don't seem to know how much
more our prosperity depends on the farmer
than it does on the dude with the cane and
the waxed mustache.

TWO HUMOROUS CHURCH INCIDENTS.
A little girl who was taken to the Eps
copal church for the first time heard the
clergyman read the text:
''On these two commandments hang al
the law and the prophets"
Grandma" said the little girl after she
got home, "do they hang the prophets on
the commandments just the same as they
do presents on the Christmas tree?"
1t was another little girl who, going tc
the Episcopal church, and happening to turn
around just at the moment when the con
gregation bow their alteration to the creed
took it into her head that they were all
bowling to her. And so, as she was po-
lite little girl, and not inclined to receive Q
salutation without returning it, she bow ed
very respectfully and exclaimed:
Good morning, people."
