ONE ON THE PARSON.
An Omission In the Ceremony That Cut
Both Wars.

A minister, gifted with the power of
seeing the humorous side OF life amid
his pastoral duties. can tell a story
with a gusto and relish of u judge of
the supreme court. They enjoy a
laugh with the best of men, and their
mirth is as infectious as it is often I'M
expected. One night st Paul clergy
man was in jovial frame of mind, and
he related the following incident for
the benefit of his mpanion: A
brother minister once had occasion to
marry a couple of darkies, and while
it was a recognized custom in his part
of the country that the officiating cler-
gyman should salute the bride, this
particular instance was little more
than the minister could stand So at
the conclusion of the ceremony he re-
marked that, while it Was the usual
custom to salute the bride on this oc-
casion he would omit it. YES" re-
spondeo the groom, ION such an occa-
sion il is the usual custom to fee the
minister. but on this occasion we will
omit it."

WAS A PET FOR A CENTURY
An Alligator Which Had Been Known
to One Family since Iss3.

In the bayou flowing through the
large sugar plantation of Gabriel Mon
taigne, lying seven or eight miles
south of Thibodeaux, La, there was
recently killed an alligator known to
be something over 40 years old. In
1873 Mr.. Montaigne's fathers grand
father, immigrating 10 this country
from France, purchased this tract of
land from its original Spanish owner,
and in an attempt to clear the bayou
of the ferocious and aggressive alli-
gators which filled it to the number Of
thousands succeeded in killing many of
them, and among them the mother
of several young ones, three
of which he killed also. but the
fourth got away. leaving five or
six inches of his tail behind him. how
ever. This one was afterward seen
from time to time and always recog-
nized by this missing portion of his
anatomy. He grew to be something
of q pet with succeeding generations,
who. however, thought it safest to
keep him at a distance despite his
friendly advances, but it has been a
favorite task with the younger Mon
taignes Of the family to go out after
each meal with tidb:ts for Old Shorty,
as he was called because of his de-
formity. This age of 100 years is not
unparalleled with these animals, many
being said to attain the age of 200,
though this is difficult of proving, ex-
cept in such cases where the creature
is marked in some such way as Old
Shorty was.

THE SAFEST CARS.
Those Who Travel Most Always Like
the Heaviest Ones.

Those Who Travel Most Always Like
the Heaviest Ones.
Every commercial traveller has an
opinion of his own as to tina. position
which makes a car the safest one in
train Some of them hold that it is
the one next the baggage car; the
majority maintain that the center of
the train is the least dangerous. while
there are still individuals, in the
minority, to be sure, who favor the
rear car.
The opinions have been gained in
many instances from practical ex-
periences in railroad wrecks, which
are. of course, by no means infrequent
in certain sections of the country. As
such they are entitled to consideration,
but the dissimilar views really go to
show that the position of a car in a
train as regards its greater or less
safety is a matter of speculation only.
Upon one matter, however, all the
travelling men agree, and that is that
no matter what the position of the car
is, the safest ones of all are the heavy
sleeping, parlor, buffet cars and the
like. They are commonly referred to
by the drummers las better than an
accident policy" There is every rea-
son for the holding this favorable
opinion of these cars Their heavier
frames and trucks render their tele-
scoping a difficult matter, and they are
less likely to leave the rails in time
of collision than other cars in conse-
Quence of their greater weight.

Three Saliva ion army members were
arrested in Chicago a few days ago on
the general charge OF disturbing the
peace. The offense was the singing of
hymns ON the street and beating a
drum. Judge Tuly of Chicago, dis
missed the case against the prisoners,
who had been brought before him on
a writ of habeas corpus and said at
has been decided by the appellate and
supreme courts that religious parades
are not in violation of the law, and
the only way see to stop this kind of
persecution is to bring an action for
damages against the persons swearing
out the warrants" The Chicago Nc,rs
commenting on the matter very truth
fully observes: Judge Tuly is right.
The arrest of these people is a perse-
cution. Laying aside the fact that
they are engaged iii a work which has
only good for its object, such inter
ference still borders upon malice.
Worse music is often dispensed by
bands at the head of secular parades.
A thousand organ-grinders make day
and night more hideous. And when,
on the least pretense, ten thousand
blaring, strident, irritating tin horns
are blown through Chicago's streets
no one is arrested for disturbing the
peace. Judge Tuly has made a good
suggestion. A few heavy damage
suits sustained by the courts will do
much to induce a charitable tolerance
of thing guaranteed by the constitu-
ton ofsthe country"

"Nothinx Like a Good Old Mother

THE MAKING OF MONEY.

~ Aooh' " ~" au az a hh.h
died worth upwards of 5000. 900, whose
sole fortune when he reached that
place from the scenes of his boyhood
in far eastern state, consisted OF
solitary half dollar.
1t was not much to begin future
among strangers and in strange
land. but the young possessor was not
discouraged, for back of the
little silver piece. lay a world of ener-
gy, of ambition, of hope, OF courage,
of industry and perseverance and with
this capital ready, success was sure to
come. 1t required patience, often the
way seemed smooth and roses made a
path for the feet; but often, too, OBJ
stacles, unforeseen perhaps, until their
solid front appeared in view, arose
and it required careful thought and
no less careful toll to surmount them.
The years blossomed, rounded and
faded in the eternal whirl of time and
the half dollar gathered to itself other
half dollars and dollars, until, as was
said, at the time of his death, the
owner left the goodly fortune of near
ly 5000, 200.
In the meantime, the getting of this
sum did not prevent kindly deeds, nor
did it encrust the heart in such a
manner that honor and charity were
alien quantities. On the contrary,
model citizen, a model friend, a model
husband and father, an honest God
fearing man went out of life, when the
white-haired owner of the nearly $780,
600 died and honest tears were shed by
those who had known him but to
love him.
And in this story there is a lesson
which all who run may read and
which on the part of young men it
would be well 10 heed, for
it shows that the best capt.
tai with which to begin life is
not an inheritance of money-too
often such an inheritance is the
ruin of those, who otherwise might
have developed into men OF character
and standing-but probity, industry
and desire to succeed which environ
ments cannot kill, nor obstacles de-
feat.
In this great, wonderful country of
,urs.i it is not the millionaire's son who
stands at the head of inventions, of
science, of art, of any important place
in the worlds wide field. but the boy
who with health in his veins. with am
bition in his heart, and with industry
and perseverance, takes up the battle
and with siec T. courage goes forward.
True, il i, not all OF life TO get
money or fame, but it is hard to be-
lieve that when a man has achieved
these through honest purpose and be-
cause he has that within him which
strives with noble aim, he has not
made success of life, more especially
when he has in that success, woven a
love tor his fellow man which i not
only good religion to live by, but
good religion to die by.
1t is not TO be believed that God
gave man his brain. his skill, his
energy, his wonderful opportunities
FOR naught; it is not to be believed
that the man who leaves behind him
a record of good deeds which the
possession of money honestly earned
has enabled him to make has not set
an example which is worthy of a fol.
lowing.
