Before entering upon Il college
course Uncle Reuben would advise
all young men to carefully observe
the following suggestions:
Spend n seaso at a n~atatorium,
so that when yachting. and an acct
dent occurs, you can save yourself by
swimming.
/ Have at least one hand-to-hand
encounter with a bear, or convert
yourself into a shear of grain and
pass through a threshing machine in
order to harden yourself for q game
OF football.
Take one seasons training as a
prize 1ghter-and be prepared for a
hazing.
BE sure and have the mumps be.
fore leaving home, and don't forget
to be vacclnated. 1t may save a
great deal OF bother.
BE sure to learn to play some posi-
tion well in a baseba | nine, and have
all your fingers put out of joint viii Q
they are young and tender.
Steal away with your fathers rank
est pipe and learn to smoke. It's
better t. he sick athome with mother
to comfort you. and then the extras
for Goctor's bills will not be so large.
Father sometimes kicks about those
extras.
1t might be we'll for you to learn
to play the guitar, mandolin, violin,
bass viol, flute, cornet-in fact make
a brass band out of yourself before
entering college, so that you would
have more time to devote to your
studies.
You might take a course In some
news paper oalce, as you may be called
upon to contribute to the college
monthly, and, of course, you could
not spare any time from your studies
to devote to society news, etc.
This is a vast field, and l might
mention many other things, but take
this for a starter, and perhaps the
other things will suggest themselves

ed from the rest of the family, and
proceeds to pray during most of the
night.
The assassin is unknown, but it is
believed the deed was committed by
one of the dissatisfied members of the
church, as Bowden and his wife (who
is a very pretty woman, despite the
fact that she has six children) have in

The headquarters of the latest re-

''prophet" bears the rather unprom-
Using name for a prophet OF peace OF
Lynch. II s authority was given him
in a dream, as is customary, and he
has gathered about 100 followers to-
gether. The special tenets Of the
church are not yet made public; but
Its claim to divine origin rests upon
the ability of Lynch to perform mir.
Rcles-or rather miracle. The mir
acle upon which he relies is walking
on the water; and for several days he
gave an exhibition OF his wonderful
powers In this regard by walking out
some thirty or forty yards from the
shore of Chincoteagus Island.
The enthusiasm evoked by this feat
was tremendous; and many locked to
the tanGard of the church. But
some miserable skeptics heartlessly

lessness they eliminated a section
from the middle Of the walk and
when next the prophet performed his
miracle he came to grief. AT the
point where the walk terminated he
tumbled into the water v his head
and roared very unprophetically for
help.
The first consequence was the &C.
cording of a severe thrashing to the
prophet by some Of his enraged dupes;
but the ultimate result was pretty
much what it always is in such cases.
The majority part of the prophets
followers were persuaded that the
failure of his miracle was due to the
wicked interference of the unbeliever:
and he is now enacting the same bald
farce at a point on the main land
only a short distance from the scene
OF his exposure.
The plea Of martYrdom has had its
customary effect. The number Of
