TRAPPING AN AUDiENcl
How an Eccentric Lecturer Got His Men
and Then Pounded Them

and Then Pounded Them.
nome years ago an eccentric genius,
the Rev. Thomas P. Hunt, used to give
temperance lectures. One night he an
nounced that he would lecture at a GER
tain Pennsylvania town. Now, temper
ance was not in favor among the male
portion of that burg.
The women, however, were all for the
pledge" and consequently on Hunts
hrst visit not man showed himself
The benches were pretty well filled with
women, though, and Hunt commenced.
But instead of temperance he took them
to task about the vanities of dress, etc.
They wore great stuffed feather sleeves
then. They-the sleeves-caughtit it, then
the tight lacings, and SO on through the
whole catalogue Of female follies, but no
word about intemperance.
The ladies went home. nearly mad, told
their husbandssdpout it and voted old
Hunt reg.aar humbug. He announced
he would lecture at the same place the
next night. Long before the time APP
pointed the people began to arrive, and
VACA1 A4uAo lODDlCu uOWu Iut aisle LQo
building was completely filled with men.
The old fellow looked about, chuckied
and said in a low voice, "Hogs, I've got
you now"
The audience stared.
"Aha, hogs, I've got you now" he re-
peated.
After the crowd had got quiet a little
the lecturer said:
Friends, you wanted to know what
meant by saying, Hogs, I've got you
now' and I'll tell you Out west the
hogs run wild, and when folks get out
Of meat they catch young pig, put a
strap under his body and hitch him to a
young sapling that will just swing him
from the ground nicely. OF course he
squeals and raises rumpus, when all
the old hogs gather around to see what
is the matter, and then they shoot them
at their leisure. Last night hung a pig
up. | hurt it a little, and it squealed.
The old hogs have turned out tonight to
see the fun, and I'll roast you."
And SO he did, pitching into their
favorite vice with much evident relish
and gusto.-American Home Life.

DYNAMITE IN THE DISH.
The Tragic Dinner Prepared by u Dement,
ed Russian Officer

The Tragic Dinner Prepared by a Dement,
ed Russian Officer.
A shocking tragedy of a most remark
able character is reported from Wilma.
ivan klakwitz, customs officer of
highly respectable connection. became
convinced that his wife was in league
with neighbor to aid the latter in a
lawsuit which was pending against him.
There was apparently no justification
for the charge. The lawsuit was tried
IN the local courts last week, and Klak-
WITT lost the case. He addressed the
Judge in an excited manner. snd after
making rambling statement implicat-
ing his wife in an intrigue against him
he left the courtroom.
Later in the day. however, he pro
fessed regret to his wife for his baseless
lnsinuations and hasty temper, and
asked his neighbor and his wife to dine
with him en- famille. Thinking it bet
ter that conciliation should take place,
the nelShbor accepted, and social
evening was arranged for At dinner
there were present klakwitz, his wife,
his two daughters, aged 19 and II years
respectively: young son, aged IL; his
wife's mother and his neighbor and his
wife.
The dinner passed off very pleasantly
until the third course, when klakwitz
rose, and ordering some more cham
pagne to be opened said that he wished
all present to drink toast to a special
dish he had prepared as a surprise for
this agreeable occasion. He then left
the room, and within two minutes re-
turned bearing in his arms large dish
covered with a dinner cover, and plac-
ing it quickly on the table he lifted his
glass on high and shouted, ITO our
next meeting.
He had scarcely spoken these words
when a dynamite bomb. which had been
hidden under the cover, exploded, and
instantly killed every one in the room
with the exception of the servant girl
and the youngest daughter latter
living, however, only long enough to
tell exactly what happened. The serv-
ant died within two hours.
The unfortunate people who We're the
victims Of this insane frolic were sim
ply blown to pieces. and the walls of
the room in which they were sitting
were partly blown out. The explosion
was heard for half mile.-St. Peters

The New Chicago Religion.

We learn from Chicago that the new
Chicago religion is nearly ready for the
market. One of the doctors engaged
in conpounding it says it is made OF
the choice elements ct Mosalsm. Chris
tianity, Buddhism, ethical culturlsm'
Mohammedanism, Renanis'n, Confu-
cianis1n and other beliefs, both ancient
and modern. Assurance OF It's solldity
is given by its compounders, among
whom are a Uniyersalist, a Popullte,
two liberal rabbis, a Unitarian, HIM
doc and an agnostic. The extracts have
been made with care, SO that It shall pc
suitable to every mind in all parts OF
the world. It has not yet been mar
keted. on account OF the difficulty OF
getting q good name for it, n descrlp-
five name that shall convey some IDEA
of its elementary principles, and that
shall be attractive to mankind. Why
not end the trouble and struggle at once
and give the new religion q boom by
calling it Chicagoism?- ?-New York Sun.

A WONDERFUL GERM DESTROYER.
Recent Investigations Which Have Opened
a New Field In Medicine.

Recent Investigations Which Have Opened
a New Field In Medicine.
About 10 years ago medical scien-
tist advanced the theory that, in its nor
NAL condition, blood contained an ele-
ment that instantly killed many forms
of bacteria. In this healthy state blood
has been injected into the veins of dis
eased persons for this purpose and has
begun the work Of destruction. The re-
suits had not been satisfactory, as the
amount of blood required was 60 great
as to make continued experiments I'M
wise.
Recent Investigations have confirmed
the original idea, and a series OF exper-
iments Of late conducted at the Uniyer-
sity of Michigan reveal most interest
ing possibilities. The destroying prin-
ciple has been separated from the blood,
and with It germs Of cholera and an
thrax have been killed. This element,
10 which the name of neuclin has been
given, is colorless and transparent. The
vital essence of it seems tenacious OF
life. as high degrees Of heat, even to
the boiling point, do not seem to dlmln-
ish its activity. II this discovery does
all that it promises, it marks an meal
culable advance in medical science. In
iected into the veins Of persons suffer-
ing from many forms Of germ poison
ing, it Immediately begins its benefi-
cent task Of ridding the system OF the
enemy. Thus new field IN medicine
is opened, the ultimate results OF which
even the most comprehensive mind can
scarcely estimate. New York Ledger.

sEreams and dream the same dreams
ana love the same loves; surely we are
brothers. Our fathers stood side by
SIDE at Bull Run and Appomattox. Our
mothers were wooed and won and wed
at the same altar-we are one. Our
interests are one, our hopes are one,
our history is one history. When you
go down I go down; when you rise 1
rise. We drink from the same spark
ling fountains, we eat the same foods
we are brothers. Brothers in peace,
brothers in war. Your kindred and
III sleep side by side on many a
bloody battle field, waiting the judg-
ment day. We were rocked in the
same old cradle of Southern born and
Southern bred rights and liberties. We
fought together, we failed together.
We all love u dear I'D State, and if
need be would die for her. Men Of the
town, men Of the country, men in high
places and men in low places, men
good and men bad, sirs, we must be
brothers. Alike we toll, alike we suffer,
alike we rejoice, alike we die. I plead
in the names of a common brotherhood
and a mutual interest, for a closer
union, a stronger bond Of love among
all people. A State knit together in
the folds of truth and love and peace
is invincible. We must not wander
apart, we must rise together or fall TO-
gether. Let us all worship God as we
please, let US all vote and work as we
please, and let us be brothers still. Let
us fight for principles and fight on
high grounds above the petty, ignoble
tricks and frauds and fight as men Of
honor and integrity and fight as patriots
and lovers. You may not vote as l
vote, yet we are brothers. You may
not pray as I pray, still we are broth
ers, AS one strong band of patriots,
let us all work for the good of all, and
all do our duty as best we can, and
Gods smile will not forsake US. Our
country is~worth more than all the
parties, so let us toll first for u coun-
try's good and then look out for the
parties. Craftsmanship never panders
to petty partisanship. Washington
and Jefferson should teach us lessons
in political economy. Webster and
Calhoun, though dead, left us noble
examples as politicians.
