strong in his vigorous attacks, especially

Grafton of the Lords day. Every one
VAS greatly interested, for the pastors
heart was in the work and his burning
words were listened to with rapt atten-
ton, for his language was as powerful
as it could be without violation of cleri-
cal etiquette and the statutes in such
case made and provided.
Fire, however, had broken out in the
hotel near by, it seemed, and so in the
midst of his eloquent and fearless battle
against these vices he broke off suddenly
to aid in saving property. He formed a
bucket brigade, and aided by the four
other pastors, who had also fastened to
the scene, a line of pals soon extended
from the nearest pump to the ladder
running up the side of the building.
For hours the good man fought the
/ flames without ever pausing for breath.
The hook and ladder company did the
swearing while he carried water. They
! pulled down ivy vines, ate hotel pie,
! filled the air with imprecations and ever
and anon rolled up their sleeves to see if
their muscles had grown any since they
j last examined them.
| Finally, seeing that the hotel could
not be saved. and that little cottace
near 1t was threatened, the pastor said:
/ Let us save this little home at least.
Put blankets on the roof and keep them
wetted. Work with will, boys, and
we may save this little cot even though
! the hotel perish"
Finally, after hours of struggle in the
choking smoke and heat and discourage
! ment, the flames died down and, sur
rounded by ruin and wreck, the little
house stood by itself safe and unscathed
The pastor went in to see if everything
still remained unharmed and to receive
the thanks of the occupants. There was
no one there, but on the table, face
down, We're four unusually good hands,
running all the way from the straight
to the hobtail flush, while in the center
of the table stood the tempting jackpot,
and near by. on a sideboard, tall re-
ceptacle with willow environments con-
tanning spirits, arranged and dramatized
by gentleman named Pepper.
The cottage was what is called in that
country Speak Easy"
A Speak Easy" is not moral place.
The pastor put on his coat and princess
vest and went home, and as he went
some one heard him say: "Whoso is
simple, let him turn in hitler. He that
reproveth a scorner getteth to himself
shame, and he that rebuketh wicked
man getteth himself a blot"

The mandrill is strange looking beast

face in its hands in an embarrassed way,

1twas on board train between Wheel
ing and Pittsburg the other day that
heard sad tale. 1t was told to me by
a refined Kentucky gentleman who was
selling ballot boxes under the Australian
system. He said that he could also pro-
vide voters when it was desired. He
said that nothing for years had called
forth so much genuine ingenuity as the
Australian ballot system, not only on the
part of those who wish to defeat its oper-
atoms and effects, but on the part of
those who wish to make the successful
ballot box booth, etc. so as to be the Of

does not look larger than a good sized
