A LOG WORTH HAVING.
He Knew Just What to Do When He
Found Rather Coiled on His
Masters Body.

PORTSMOUTH, O., September Al
c. l.. McCloud, shoe drummer of
this city, returned from Kentucky this
evening and related thrilling story Of
adventure. For two Us he was the
guest of Mr.. II Biggs, son of the
proprietor Of the Biggs House, at his
Kentucky home, near Tygart Creek.
He took with him his gun and fine
thoroughbred Irish setter, Frank. 1t
was fortunate suggestion which caused
him to take the dog, for to that noble
animal he owes his life.
One afternoon McCloud and Biggs
srolled over to the woods near Tygart
Creek for shot at a squirrel. The
dog was tied up at the house. They
had been in the woods some time when
young Biggs had occasion to return to
the house for something. McCloud
went up a ravlne to shady nook,
where he lay down to Sleep. How long
he slept he can't say, but the terror of
MS awakening wss beyond description.
He awakened with the consciousness
of some weight upon his breast, and
bsfJre he saw what il was his nostrils
were assaled fy peculiar odor

back, the sight which met his eyes
well nigh petuhed him. There, coiled
on his breast, was full-grown rattle

for some time, which seemed ages to
the horrihed nan, he was almost afraid
to breathe lest he should awaken it.
Presently Biggs returned and his

RELIGIOUS ENTHUSIASM.

In the light of the larger andtruer estimate
of human facilities and powers that marks
the thinking OF today, the contempt OF enthu-
siasm whicA was once regarded as the note
of superior intelligence, Is seen to be the
fruit OF ignorance and conceit. Genuine en-
thusiasm does not wax strong in the obscura-
tion of reason and conscience; rather It Is
found just where the highest intelligence and
the cIearest moral sense are being converted
into action. As thought rises to loftier levels
it passes into passionate conviction and
seeks to express itself in universal forms, in
poetry and song, in cries OF wonder aud rap
turous outbursts Of love. A5 the call OF duty
becomes more imperious it lays its demands
upon the whole man, his feelings and affec-
tiops, his desires and imagination, till the
very soul kindles into flame.
A thought takes permanent hold on men
till it is proclaimed with something OF pro-
phetic zeal that owns divine necessity
'.Woe is me if I preach not the Gospel"
"No virtue is safe that is not enthusiastic
There is, OF course, such thing as irrational
and debasing enthusiasm but 1t Is the coun-
terfeit of tho genuine article, the shadow OF
the real. Now. if this il true, then it will
follow that wherever the moral dynamite OF
enthusiasm is found, 1t ought to be put to the
most immediate and wisest use. The impulse
should not end with the crowded assembly
and the '.great occasion;" it ought to go out
in widening circles, to revive the dropping
courage of lonely workers, to warm the
hearts of those grown cold and Indifferent,
to stir the listless to action, and reinvtgorate
the whole body Of the church.

The cars stopped because the electric cur.

We are Gods generators. Our business in

An earthquake destroys inc 1oWD
Of Kuchan, in Persia.
A special despatch from Meshed brings
further details of the earthquake that 90
Cured at Euchan. in the northern part o.
tho province OF Khorassan, Persia. The
town was completely destroyed, and the LOSE
OF life was immense.
Great crevaSses were opened in the earth
through which water flowed in torrents
causing the Atrek River 10 overflow its banks,
The fertile region around the city was inun
dated. and the large gardens and extensive
vineyards were swept out OF existence.
The people OF Kuchan had no chance to
save anything. The shock was 50 severe that
the largest houses in the town. including the
residence Of the Governor. were almost in.
stantly toppled over, crushing hundreds Of
people to death.
The town had a population OF between 20,-
900 and 25. 900 persons. and 1t 1s thought that
at least 1000 persisted. Many persons were
carried away by the food that flowed down
the valley.
short time after the disturbance the en-
tire water supply of the town disappeared.
The people who were not INJURED fed panic
stricken to the Ala Dagh Mountains, leaving
the INJURED to care for themselves as best
they could. The district in which Kuchan -
situated is very populous. and it is feared
that it has everywhere suffered from the
earthquake and the flood.
