SUNDAY SILHOUETTES.

SAM JONES received $500 for evan
gelizing Kansas City six weeks. A local
paper complains that so much should
have been given to ministerial noun
tebank when the stated preachers in
that sin-cursed city do not get living
salaries. The difference is, SAM JONES
uses slang and the local preachers do
not. If there is anything the Kansas City
people dote OH it is classical slang, such
as SAM JONES manufactures, and they
are willing to pay high for it.

IGNATlUS DoNNELI.Y had to laugh in
spite of his bushes at the theater the
other night. A pretty fair imitation of
a pig walked i'll on the stage and squat
ted on its launches. The old miller
places his hand on the porker's head
and says, "Oh that this too solid flesh
would melt" The villainOus count
looks at him in an interrogative sort of
a way and says 'SHAKEsPEARE."
No" replies the old man in melo-
dramatic tone, pointing to the pig
BACON" And Mr.. DoNNELLY went
home confirmed in his faith in the cryp-
tOgram.

A certain st. Paul preacher is so in
terestng as speaker that one of his
hearers has declared his intention to
find another place of worship. His
reason is that he can no longer sit
quietly during the sermon and think
over his business matters. The incident
calls out the following protest from
pastor to brother pastor in the city,
who was supposed to be the fascinating
orator who disturbed the business cal
culations of his nearer:
Dear Bro: Such eloquence is
really indefensible and unprecedented,
and, if initiated, Will soon leave us all
without hearers. Men have been known
to go to sleep and break their neckS
while PAUL eXpounded; to eat peanuts
and go out for drinks in the midst of
DEMOSTIIENES' most terrible invectiveS;
to swap Jack-kniveS and trade horses
While CICERO was soaring and roaring
like any cooling dove; TO bite navy plug
and bet on the Chicago election while
JOHN WESLEY was preaching on the alb
of Earthquakes" to make wheat deal
and place" a block of Duluth dirt
(at $4,000 front FOOT while WHIT
FIELD was pathetically uttering "Meso-
potamla." but you-yOu wouldn't let st.
Paul broker calmly come to church and
gloat over st. Paul's future glory and
''cuss" at Minneapolis. It's shame.
Yours Indignantly ***''
The dedication of the Central Park
church to-day not only marks an epoch
in the history of Methodism in st. Paul,
but it is an illustration of the growth of
the city as well. 1t has not been many
years, and there are plenty of people
still living here to remember it, when
the Methodists were immensely proud
Of the jackson Street church. When it
was first occupied it was one of the fin
est churches of the city. Now, by SIM
ply comparing the old Jackson Street
building with the magnificent struc-
ture that will be dedicated to-day, one
will realize what grand strides both
MethodiSm and the city of st. Paul
have made within decade or two.

GEORGE HAZZARD wears a Carnival
directors badge, on which the letters
IN. c." are engraved on silver plate.
The letters signify that Mr.. HAZARD
is a member of the managing commit
tee. This fact did not occur to a couple
of grangers the other day, who stood in
specting the badge and wondered at the
mystic meaning of the letters, while
Mr.. HAZARD was giving instructions
to some workmen on the palace grounds.
Il guess he is member of congress-"
said one. ''Not So" replied the other,
''those letters mean Methodist church.
That's the man who is in partnership
with SAM JONES and runs the Red
Rock camp-meetings. I remember
him." SIS.
