A GOOD MAN TO TRAVEL WITH.

| Capt Ben Fairchild of the New York
| City police force used to vouch for
| twenty-five years ago. A friend of the
| Captain-a very proper sort of person,
whom we will call Mr.. Good-had con-
ceived an intense horror of prize fight
ers in general, and of John Morrissey in
particular. Mr.. Good, one day while
travelling up the Erie road, dropped in
to q conversation with a gentlemanly
stranger of herculean frame who occu-
pied the seat next to him. When the
train arrived at Turner's the depot was
seen to be in complete possession OF a
mob of roughs and stalwart umbermen,
who had taken possession of the lunch
room and terrorized everybody in the
place. Mr.. Good was hungry, and he
and his unknown companion left the
train to get something to eat. Mr.. Good
pushed his way through the crowd, and
ordered an oyster stew from the waiter.
The proprietor demurred, on the ground
that the roughs would not permit any
one else to be served but their own
party.

Stew said the Hercules quietly, with
defiant glance at the burly six-footer
who had sooiled Mr.. Goods lunch. An
other stew was served, and 1t was rs
promptly tipped over by the same hand,
while the mob of roughs laughed up
roariously. But the Hercules, like an
avenging thunderbolt, had leaped from
his stool, and the laugh died away as he
went right through that crowd, striking
ont right and left until he had cut a
broad swath clear to the doorway. When
the cyclone was over five roughs had to
be picked up out of the remains of those
milk stews on the floor, and all the rest
had escaped. Then the Hercules
smoothed down his cuffs, and remarked
as quiety as ever, Just let me have an-
other stew please, and fresh one for
my friend.
HMr. Good looked at his companion
in awe as he CALCULATED: Excuse me,
sir, but who are you, anyhow Inc
Hercules reached into his vest pocket
and produced card bearing the name
John Morrissey, New York. The stews
were eaten in peace, and Mr.. Good after
ward said to Capt. Fairchild, rs he de-
scribed the encounter: We'll, they saya
good many hard things about John
Morrissey, but he's mighty good man
to travel with.

The Church Missionary society is
supported by the evangelical element of

The general committee has
resolved first. not to refuse any candi-
dates for missionary service on the sole
ground of the lack of funds; second, to
reorganize the present methods for the
collection of funds; third, to employ
more lay evangelists: fourth. to arrange
for more meetings for united and spec
