The Efficacy OF Prayer.

Nelson (B. c. miner: A pretty
good story is told by man who spent
the Summer OF 1888 on the top Of
mountain not many miles to the south
Of Nelson. The Summer was noted
for no one thing more than the num-
Der and extent OF the forest fires raging
in June and July. Valuable mining
property was threatened on the top Of
the mountain, and an employe who
had been on payroll just long enough
to get one square meal was put on the
night shift to fight the fire.
He was an Irishman and reputed a
good miner, but did not know any
thing about fighting forest fires and
naturally asked his employer how he
should 20 about the work. The en-
ployer replied rather curtly: Blank
II, pray to the Almighty for rain J"
The Irishman, who had probably
uttered a million oaths for every
prayer, simply said: All right !"
Before morning a slight shower fell.
At breakfast the employer good
naturedly remarked: "Well John,
your prayers had good effect, repeat
them again tonight" The Irishman
simply said: "All right"
That night rainstorm set in which
lasted several hours, and at breakfast
the employer was more than pleasant
because Of his property being beyond
all danger. He joked the Irishman on
the efficacy of prayer and got for
a reply: alt has always been my
blanked luck to work myself out OF
soft job" The Irishman was given a
job that lasted long enough for him to
earn sufficient to buy every saloon
keeper in Nelson a dozen white
"biled " shirts each.

Young man, take my advice, and
pay for things as you go. Do not run
up bills"
This was the sage advice a well
known business man gave Star re-
porter yesterday. Why?" contin-
ued he, because in the end you will
have to pay for it all, and there is nc
telling for how much else beside.
will tell you OF little incident that
came under my observation recently,
and you will see why | say so. The
proprietor of a large provision store in
this city made a credit sale OF fine
ham to one OF his customers, but
much to his surprise he found out a
little later that he had forgotten TO
whom he sold il and failed to make
any note OF il.
"This bothered him somewhat, un-
til happy thought struck him. lie
cudgeled the gray matter in his brain
and recalled the names OF thirteen
men who had happened to be in the
store at the time the transaction took
place, though for the life OF him he
could not think who had gone off with
that piece OF swine. But, nothing
daunted, he went back to and told his
bookkeeper to charge up one ham to
each OF those thirteen different ac-
counts, telling him at the same time
that when twelve OF the men objected
TO paying for it TO explain to them that
il was mistake that would not occur
again.
What happened? Why, twelve
of that party paid their bills without
a question, and only one raised any
objection on account of the pork item.
So at least eleven, and very likely all
twelve, had paid for something they
had not bought, and that some one
else had disposed Of. Steer clear ol
bills. ."-Washington Star.
