HE WASN'T HUNTING.
But Took the Gun and Dog to Re-
move temptation from His
Brethren.
HE TALKED WITH CHURCH MEN.
What they Said to Him About the Irrever-
ence of Hunting on Sunday and About
the Difference Between the Sin of
Country People and City Chaps.

On Sunday the livery stables received
calls for teams with none to let, SO steady
had been the demand all day for their
horses and carriages, while owners Of
teams embraced the opportunity to enjoy
the weather, as being about the last day
of the supply on hand before the new
stock is laid in next spring. Those per-
sons who drove up Scituate way saw num-
bers of men out about time for morning
service at the churches. They most all
carried guns. They had also canvas bags
slung to their sides, just large enough to
hold the hymn books, etc. Hound dogs,
sleek of hide, solemn and serious Of coun-
tenance and digniiied in manner, patted
after them with short, dainty steps. No
one could doubt the men were on their
way to church. So one driver of team,
seeing one ofk these worshippers with his
tan hound, said: Going to church,
heyS"
You're the second fellow that's alluded
to that subject this morning." said the
church man, leaning against a tree, and
resting the gun against his arm. "A man
came along awhile ago, solemn as an owl,
and says: Don't you know what day this
isY Just the same's my father used to
ask me if Il been smokin'' when i was a
shaver about II years old" "Ye'ep, | says,
know; it's Sunday"
"Ain't you got no more respect for the
Lord's day than that" says he Ethan
what? says l." Than to be out huntin' on
Sunday, he answered. 81 was mad, and
! asked him suppose / was out hunting,
| said | was going up to Battey's to meet
in and took the dog n gun n game bag,
so they wouldn't be no temptation to my
young brother to see them hanging round
needing useing.
Then this old crank, he wanted to know
what L had my pants tucked in my boots
for, / told him / was going to give in my
experience in meetin' and say how I'd
been years a--wallowin, in sin, and it
wasn't no use to pretend to no set of farm
ers you'd been-a-wallowing in anything
with your pants outside your boot legs,
they was too fly for that kind of stuff"
Its jest this way" said the church
man, "some folks like to go to meetin',
not. Some don't and they stay to home.
If they are folks that live in the country
it's wicked to stay to home. But city
man can come out here Sundays in a
fancy hitch-up, with pair of fancy dogs,
or a bamboozle fish pole, and faint no sin;
all the meetin' men will treat him like a
gov'nor, and tell him about where to hunt
game lynn of course SOS he won't get
any they want or where To fish, n lie
about that, and then set up to be great
meetn' men. | wasn't brung up to be n
meetn' man, but was brung up to know
the truth when it called me by name"
"Hope you'll have good luck and get a
full gamer, full appreciation up at Bat
tey's of.your experience" said the man
in the carriage as he drove away.

A DEMOCRATIC SCHEME
A Shrewd Scheme to Impose Upon
the Members of Organizations
BY BOGUS CIRCU LARS.
Democratic Workers Sending Out Cards
which are Alleged to BE From Com
mittees But The Name of Anyone is
Carefully Omitted From Them.

HThe schemes of the Democracy by the
issuance of variety of circulars eulogiz-
ing their candidates exhibit the real
essence of apparent weakness.
Members of the Order of American
Mechanics, Grand Army and other so
cieties are in receipt of mail matter pur-
porting to have emanated from head
quarters of those organizations. When it
is known that politics is positively barred
from their deliberations it will be at once
seen to what straits the opposition has
been driven. Below we give sample:
PROVIDENCE, II. l., Nov. II, 1891.
DEAR SIR-The proposition TO revise and
correct the municipal affairs of our city hav-
ing received the approval of our several or
ganizations, has induced your committee to
again remind our members as 20 their duty at
the approaching election. The slate prepared
by the Democratic City Committee being ex-
tremely favorable to the mechanic and work
ingman alike, we ask you 10 act promptly In
conformity with the resolutions adopted at
our last monthly meeting and vote accord
ingly. Per order of Sec'y.
The members of the organizations are
certainly not silly enough TO swallow such
nonsense but the fact that it is attempted
to stab the Republican candidates by send
ing out 100 of the above this afternoon
ought TO be known.
