Rabbit Living Under a Tomato.

Speaking Of big tomatoes, our drug
gist friend Melville Dorsey, takes rank
as something Of a farmer and grower
of mammoth vegetables himself. \
few days ago there were gathered on
his place near town a tomato that
weighed 3 pounds, and several over
pounds. In gathering them his hired
man made somewhat remarkable dis
covery. a rabbit had burrowed in the
ground among the bushes and had a
nest full of young ones. \ large
tomato hung directly over it a few
inches from the ground forming a per-
feet roof and completely hiding the
little animals home from view until
it was removed The finder did not
claim that the tomato had been hol-
lowed out or that it had been purposel y
put there to serve the purpose it did.

FROM BAR TO PULPIT.

George W. Ferrel in the Sedalia Bazoo.
A considerable number OF Missouri
ministers have been educated and
trained to the law. The distinguished
Rev. DR.. A. d. Madeira, the elo-
quent Kansns City Presby terian, fol-
lowed that profession before taking
up the Cross. Rev. DIR. Samuel s..
Laws, another Presbyterian, late
president of the Missouri State Uni
versity, now of Virginia, studied
Blackstone and graduated from a law
school. The Rev. b. V. Alton, the
new pastor of the Sedalia Southern
Methodist church, up to few years
ago was engaged in the legal profess
sion and at the time he entered the
ministry was Missouri circuit Judge.
He traces his paternal ancestry from
