An Interrupted Prayer.

Some seventy years ago, when a me-
nagerie was almost a thing unknown,
and a solitary wild beast was now and
then carried about the country for ex-
hibition, a certain New England vii
lage was thrown into great commotion
by the news that an elephant was to be
exhibited in a neighboring town. The
village which is the scene of my story
was not large enough to induce his ex-
hibitors to make any stay there, but his
road lay through it Now an elephant
could not be packed away or in any
manner be kept out of sight. His jour
ney must be mad in full view, and ev-
erybody could get a look at him, and
everybody was excited accordingly.
Day after day r~issed-no elephant.
The exhibition had been advertised
for a Monday, and Saturday night had
come, with n" tidings of the famous
Traveller. ; nday morning, The
sound of tn church going bell' sum
moned the people. Parson Adams had
begun 1.-THE long prayer and the o
gregation stood devcutly attentive to
all appearance. But there was at least
one exception, for DIR. Dobson's pew,
near an open window, commanded a
view of the highway, and DIR. Dobson's
eyes, wide open, were fixed upon the
prospect. A cloud of dust arose-then
slowly above the hill opposite the
window the head of a huge beast came
into sight. The eager doctor for~ot
time and place, and shouting, 81 ie
elephants coming! there he is!' he
was out of the window like a dart. OF
rushed the congregation, and whether
Parson Adams finished his prayer ira
dition has not told.-Wide Awake.

He Is Manly. Generous, Bold. Fearless,

Cowboy life has in the last few years
lost much Of its roughness. The cattle
barons have discharged most of the
men who drank and have frowned so
persistently upon gambling that little
of it is done. On the ranches kept I'M

the cattle being all safely inclosed. But
they must take their turns ut line rid
ing, which means a close inspection of
the fences and the repair of all breaks
and damages. Where night overtakes
them there they sleep, stalking their
horses and rolling themselves in their
blankets. These rides of inspection
take days to accomplish, for there are
ranches in Texas which extend in a
straight line over seventy-five miles.
Those ranches which are not kept I'M.

A LIGHT IN THE WINDOW"
The Story ON which the Well known
Song Was Founded.

song Was
Few are probably the persons who
have not n time or the other heard
the Sunday school song, "A Light in
the Window" Unless | am mistaken,
says a Louisville Times writer, it is
founded upon a story told upon the
little island of Sylt, but which might
easily have its exact counterpart on al
most any scashore where a mothers
heart beats with yearning love for her
sailor sol and keeps its fond promise
from night To light.
Among the simple fisher folks on the
island lived n N and her son. He
was her only child, the pride of her
heart as well rs the source of constant
dread, for the boy loved the sea rs his
father before had loved il, and nothing
gave him so much pleasure as to watch
the incoming tide tumble It's curling
waves over the sands. No sooner was
he strong enough TO WELD an oar and
steer a boat than he joined the men in
their fishing expeditions.
The mother, with all her fears and
the fate of a long line of sailors in her
mind, yet would not have had it other
wise, for it would have been deemed
dishonor among the hardy coasters to
have kept the boy at home or sent him
safely at work for some farmer. What
ever the dangers they must be faced
for the sake of family pride. He was a
great favorite among the 'longshore
folk and with the sailors, and when at
last his 18th year ZANE around and he
obtained the consent of his mother to
60 TO sea he easily found a good ship
and captain. Then there was parting,
and tears shed by the mother, while
he looked forward into the great, wide
world with all the joyous eagerness OF
a boy. But with her last blessing the
widowed mother promised that every
night a light should burn in the sea.
ward window Of her cottage to light
him homeward and to show him that
she still lived, awaiting his return.
The ship sailed. Six months passed
and sailors dropped into the village and
told how she had been spoken and all
was well, and the neighbors came to the
cottage and told the pleasant news to
the waiting mother, who nightly tim
med the candle, Lit it and set it in the
window to make a bright path up the
sands. Again six months elapsed, and
other sailors arrived from far off lands,
but they had no news to tell of the
ship. A grast storm had happened
and she was overdue. She might yet
make port, but-and the people shook
their heads and carried no tales to the
widow, whose candle burned brightly
every night and cast long streamers of
light out Upon the sea Another year
passed, but the sailors going or coming
brought no news of the ship, and the
neighbors whispered apart and shook
their heads whenever any one spoke of
the widows son, but no one was cruel
enough to cut the slender threads
which held the anchor of her hope.
And thus the light continued to glow
out toward the sea at every cleaning
and burned steadily through every
night.

Dinerentiating Death Cases.

A bill is to be introduced into the
Senate by Senator Gardner n behalf
of Atlantic City requiring the State
and local Boards of Health to make
separate reports of the deaths OF resi-
dents and n~on-residents in every
town in the State.
DIR. Hunts last report made the
death rate of Atlantic City the highest
in the State, but no mention was
made in the report, though it is a
generally known fact, that the death
rate is the result of large number of
invalids being brought to Atlantic
City to prolong their lives by a few
months.
Atlantic City's rivals r using the
health report for advertising purposes
and the feeling is that the city's re-
putation has been seriously injured by
DR.. Hunt. A committee of citizens,
of which DIR. Boardman Reed is presi-
dent, will prepare pamphlets and take
other measures to counterfeit the in
furious results.
