How lie Returned Her Knbl,er.

One evening last week when the
street was flowing in mud "A lady in
leaving the car dropped one of her
overshoes. The conductor rang the
bell for starting, then he stopped and
picked up the overshoe.
Say, lady" lac bawled, didn't you
lose your rubber
The lady turned on the edge of the
sidewalk, TO which she had picked her
muddy way, and seeing that she had
lost her shoe started toward the re-
treating car TO regain il. But the po-
lite conductor, to spare her the trouble
of recrossing the mud and himself the
trouble Of stopping the car, threw the
overshoe TO the lady. His aim was
good and the result was that she re-
ceived the muddy shoe directly in the
breast. The conductor grinned the
pleasant grin of n who is conscious
Of not only having done his duty but
Of having done it nobly, the car rolled
OF its way and the lady was left in a
state of mind which may be imagined.

Suueaky boots.

Did you ever realize, beloved breth-
rem, how much depravity there is in a
pair of squeaky boots! We went into
a conference the other day and you
were there with those squeaky boots;
and you were very active and untiring
i'll your efforts 10 promote its interests,
and YOU would have been entirely sue
cessiul had it not been for those
squcaky boots, first, YOU went up to
the pulpit with "A notice. and every
step was emphasized by that squeak.
The eyes Of the audience left the
speakers face and sought your feet,
and YOU almost broke the thread of
his discourse by trcading on il, rs 1t
Were. Then you remembered that the
coffee for the supper had not arrived,
aud YOU must needs 90 and see about
it; the eyes of the whole audience fol-
lowed you as with conscientious, but
Intellectual efforts 10 step quietly you
left your seat, went the whole length
of the aisle, and dumped downstairs
to the vcstry in your laudable desire to
see about the coffee. Then when you
came back the same process was re-
peated.
You had not been in your seat ten
minutes when you noticed that Deacon
Drowser vas fast asleep, so close was
the atmosphere. So, what should you
do but open the windows on the north
side, another very laudable task, had
it not been for the squeak in those bro
gans, which was a little more un-
pleasant, to the preacher, at least. than
the c~loseness would have been. When
the collection was taken YOU must
needs pass the box, and the squeak,
squeak, kept time to the clink, clink
of the coppers and silver. 1t is such a
little thing that we ask Of you, dear
brother; leave the squeaky boots at
home and wear the old ones. We do
not care if there is IA patch IN the toe
and "A break on the instep, or even if
they are run down on the heel. On
the principle Of the boys definition of
salt, that it is the thing which makes
meat taste bad if YOU don't put it ON,
so your new boots left at home will
add more than anything To the solem-
nifty Of the next conference. -EX-
