Spare the Church Isell.

A lady friend takes for u text thestate
ment that q young lady was run over and
killed the other day, and that the horse
received its fright from the ringing of
church bells. She then suggests that the
ringing be stopped, saying that it is I'm
necessary in these days Of costly clocks
and gold watches. Well, perhaps it is,
but when we consider that SO many
things Of the past are being swept aside
in the march of progress we do feel like
clinging to few Of the old traditions, and
keeping up some Of the customs our an
cestors inaugurated. Nothing Of a clear,
bright Sunday morning gives one half SO
much pleasure as the music of the bells
Of o dozen churches floating out upon
the air. They tell story Of something
better, something Of the mystical future
that even q sermon cannot impart. But
to return to tho frightened horse. Any
thing else might have produced the same
result, for horse that would take fright
at q church bell ringing would be liable
to run away on slighter provocation.
This is the first instance Of the Lind on
record. st. Paul Pioneer Press.

Looking for Her Pocket.

II see you have been poking fun at
women's pockets" said lady friend to
the Stroller. II am glad of it. Why, it
has got so now that a woman has to get
out search warrant to find the pocket
in dress when it comes home from the
dressmaker. We had funny case in
point in our women's missionary meeting
at the church. The leader of the meeting
had just finished reading most affect
ing appeal from our lady missionary in
Caffraria, and there was solemn pause
of expectant attention till some sister
should feel moved to speak. Presently
white haired old lady--a mother in
Israel-rose slowly and feebly to her
feet. All eyes were turned upon her,
and we waited to see whether she wished
to make few remarks or lead in prayer,
One hand, incased in its wrinkled black
kid glove, went fumbling and groping
among the folds Of her skirt. After a
long pause she drew out q clean hand
kerchief still in its folds, and then with
an air Of relief, slowly sat down again
She had only risen to find her pocket.

Though, He Wa. n Peddler.

A well known lawyer started for his
north side home about dusk one evening
last week. He thought he needed exer-
else, so he concluded TO walk over. he
had with him a ladies' work basket,
fixed upon high standard, and this he
was carrying home to his wife. He
struck Dearborn avenue and hastened
north at a rapid gate. He was looking
straight ahead, and after he had gone
few blocks he noticed a stylishly dressed
lady alight from a handsome equipage
and run hurriedly up the steps of a
house. He thought he noticed her drop
something, and when he reached the
sidewalk in front of the house where the
carriage had stood he looked down and
discovered fat purse. Picking it up he
tripped up the steps and rang the door
bell, the lady having been admitted be-
fore he came up. His ring was answered
in q moment by neat maid, whom he
asked if the lady of the house was in.
The lady evidently heard the question,
as she stepped at once to the door. He
was about to return the pocketbook she
had dropped, when she noticed the bas-
ket in his hand and blurted out: mo,
we don't want anything" Then she
slammed the door in his face. He wanted
to explain, but it wounded his pride to
he taken for Il peddler, and he tucked the
pocketbook in his pocket and proceeded
on his way home.
On his way down town in the morning
tho gentleman stopped again at the lady s
house to return the pocketbook. Hiswife
had not been satisfied with the work
basket he had brought home with him,
and he carried it along to exchange for
| another.
1t happened that when he rang the
bell of the house. the number of which
he had carefully noted the day before,
the lady herself was in the hall. She
FASTENED to the door and when she saw
the man and the basket again she petu.
lantly exclaimed, II told you last night
sir, that we wanted nothing" and fol
the second time she slammed the door in
! his countenance. This made him hot
When he reached his Office he put the
| pockctbook in IL sealed envelope and
tucked it away in his safe. For Il whole
week afterward the lady advertised il
all of the papers for her lost wealth
At last the lawyer addressed her note
asking her to call at his office. Whe,
she came he sat her down, explained al
the circumstances to her, and then hand
ed over her pocketbook. 1t contained

A WARM RECEPTION

Given Gang of Tramps BY Citizens Of
Anderson. Indiana.
ANDERSON, Ind, March 2G.-People here
abouts have been much annoyed lately by a
gang Of tramps who have been insulting
women. Eight of them were found in the
Midland depot Monday night, where they
had forced an entrance and taken possession.
The town marshal and thirty citizens, armed
with poles and barrel slaves, went to the
depot and formed a gauntlet along the rail-
road. The tramps were made to run through
these lines, being well belabored as they
passed on. They were numerically whipped,
the blood trickling from many of them. It
has been nearly three years since Anderson
was bothered by tramps, it being the custom
here to run them through gauntlet into the
river

COLUMBUS, O., March 80. The dis

the Ohio finances are again afloat. The
Senate, which now has the General APP

with the bluff in the House when they
passed the bill appropriating $4,000, 600
after two hours consideration with the
idea that it would demonstrate they

was already wallowing in riches. Now
the fact stares the finance people of the
House in the face that by the middle of
next month there will not be dollar to
the credit of the General Revenue
Fund, and not cent to pay the salary
of the members of the Legislature and
current expenses.
The Senate still holds the Appropria-
ton bill and laughs at the predicament
of three millions appropriated and
nothing to pay. The only thing left to
do is to resort to

There is now half a million i'm the Sink
