At no period In his ministry did Elder

At tho breaking out of the war his voice
was heard on the side of the Union, and.
though even then advanced in years. he

diana Regiment. to be looked upon by the
members of that regiment as a father.
FROM MS earliest chliuhoOd he eXhlblted
great musical ability, and during his min
istry he composed no fewer than 80 hymns,
many of which are among the fayorItes in
the hymn books of the denomination to
which he belonged. His voice. even in eX-
treme Old age, was wonderfully pure and
sweet. and he sang with great power and
feeling During the past eight or ten
years he has on many occasions been called
upon to sing Gathering Home" one of
his own compositions, and the pathOs Of
the words has caused many eyes to FIJI
with tears.
On March 20 of this year he composed

trouble the treasurer very much, however,
as the persons who appear before him gen.

him. and In exchange carry away n little

Iion Story.

One evening about 4 O'Clock q
certain trooper in Matabeleland,
South Africa, was ordered to ride
with dispatches back to middle drift
from the main drift. He had ridden
most OF the distance and was canter-
ing along in the bright moonlight,
thinking, perhaps, ofhis English home
so far away. when all of a sudden a
great lion jumped on tie back Of his
horse and tumbled him on the road,
and when he picked himself up what
do you think he saw? Why, one lion
chasing his horse acrose the veldt anG
another lion crouching in the middle
OF the road, feckng at oGm and just
ready to spring. Happily for him g
big .'wait-a-bit" thorn-bush was near,
and he rolled behind it Just as Master
Leo sprang at him. He then clam
bered up a little tree, and there he sat
all through the night, watched by the
two lions-the other one coming back
when he found he could not run fast
enough to catch the horse-tiIl day.

HAIR SEVEN FEET LONG.

!, Is Cropped Close to the Owners
Head to Relieve Her Suffering.
A story which demonstrates that
Tong hair, though beautiful, has its
drawbacks comes from De Soto, Mo.
Mrs. c. It. Abduction, the wife OF q
weI. known merchant of that city, up
to a few days ago had, it is said the
longest hair in the world. Mrs. Au-
buchonis FIVE feet two inches inheight,
while her hair measured seven feet
three inches
She was always rather weak, and
frequently confined to her bed with
dreadful headaches, sometimes two
and three days in a week. She was
treated by several prominent physl-
eians. who came to the conclusion
that all her strength was going into
her hair. BY their advice she was
finally induced to have it cut of, and
with the exception of a small portion,
vas cut off close TO the scalp. The
remaining portion was cut of at the
waist.
The change has not yet had a decid-
ed effect on Mrs. Aubuchon's health,
but il has served to relieve her OF a
great burden, which is somewhat OF a
benefit, as she is very weak.
Mr.. Anbuehon was at first very
much t.oposed to having his wife's
hair cut, and has takenit rather hard.
His wife declares that unless she is
greatly benefited she will allow her
hair to grow again to please her hus-
band. Il would not take a great
length OF time to obtain it's former
length, as her hair was shingled in

TO SWALLOW A MAN.
The Big Crowd That Assembled to
Witness the Wonderful Feat.

The Big Crowd That Assembled to
Witness the Wonderful Feat.
John Thomas was a man of keen
wit, and was strongly tinctured with
a love of the humorous. He had been
down to Concord, and had seer the
Fakir of Ava perform his wonderful
tricks OF ~legerdemain. He was relat-
ing his experience in the bar-room OF
the Conway House, and among other
things he declared that he had gained
an insight into many ofthe magician's
manipulations, and that several of
the most wonderful tricks he could
| perform himself.
For instance" he said, ri can
swallow q man whole"
"Yes!" criticized Tom Staples, O
red-faeed farmer, weighing at least
200; "p,raps you could swallow me?"
"Td like to see you do it. I'll bet
$50 you can't"
"iil take that bet"
''Then let's see you begin"
"Not now. have Just eaten my
supper. | will do it tomorrow morn
ing in the presence OF as many wit
nesses as you choose; and it shall be
done in the square in front of the
hotel"
This was agreed to, and the money
was put up. By the following morn
ing the news that John Thomas was
to swallow Tom Staples whole had
become widespread, and a vast con-
course, embracing men, women and
children had assembled to witness the
wonderful feat.
At the appointed time the chief
actors appeared in the square. John
Thomas was smiling confidently, as
though sure of success, while Tom
Staples looked a little timid and IN
easy, as though not quite Mt rest con-
corning what was to become OF him.
Are you ready?" asked John.
"All ready" answered Tom. Begin
as soon as you please"
Take off your hat
"Sartin."
Now your boots"
Tom removed his boots.
Next you will remove your coat.
Those big brass buttons might stick
in my throat"
Tom took off his coat, and as he
threw it upon the ground one OF
the cooks came out from the hotel
with a pail of melted lard and a big
whitewash brush, which he deposited
by the side of John Thomas.
"Now," pursued John, you twill
take off your stockings, and then re-
move your pants and shirt"
f'What! Dye mean for me to strip

'Of course / do. The agreement

be a rigid contraction OF the nerves
