Cut Out for "a Political m.

A western preacher gives the fol-
lowing account of a test to which he
submitted one of his boys:
said the other day: "Wife, that
boy has reached period where we
ought to find out what he is going to
be-" SO we got up an original expert
ment. We put him in the parlor with
a bible, an apple and one dollar and |
said: "Wife, we will go and leave
him. If when we get back, he is
pouring over that bible he will follow
my profession, and we will make a
minister of him. If he is examining
that apple and has got the dollar in
his pocket, we will make a lawyer or
banker out of him" When we came
back that boy was sitting on the bible
eating the apple out of one hand, hold
ing the dollar tight in the other, and
said: "Wife, that boy is hog; well
make a politician out of him."
