There was @ congregation once in
the early days OF Connecticut who
called a new minister, whom they had

man One rested his claim on having
a black coat, the other on having an
Installation sermon in his pocket
After a lengthy debate on the situS-
tion, the elders of the church arrived
at the following conclusion: That
either the man without q sermon had
stolen his coat, or else the man with
ont the coat had stolen his sermon;
90 they rejected both.

the trains bearing Pullmans to be mo-
Tested. A large crowd had assembled
and evry Individual wore look OF ex-
pectaney
Little groups OF men huddled togeth-
err and gravey talked the matter
over
The trains were all a little late in
pulling out and some difficulty was
experienced by the Rock Island In get
ting a full train. They wanted two
Pullmans and had to wait until the
Cotton Belt got out OF the yards he
fore the other ear could be brought
down and attached.
While this was being done a Santa
Fe passenger brakeman was heard to
say that "The Rocl, Island could have
their sleeper n they wanted it."
But when the Cotton Belt backed
out, followed by the Santa Fe. and II
in turn was tralled by the Rock Island,
the high tension to which the nerves OF
the on-looker had been stretched was
In a grent measure relieved.
Those who had been asserting that
there would be trouble anyhow then
claimed that the Rock Island would
be stopped In the yards about half
mile from the depot This belief proved
to be uufoundcd. too. and there was
not "A single change In the monotony
