Gave Communion Checks.

The Puritans of New England had
some curious customs, not the least
singular of which was the practice,
in vogue up to 1920, in some places,
of giving out checks to church mem
bers to enable them to take commun-
ion. At the close of a service, the
last before the communion, the dea-
cons would go through the church
and give small brass check to per-
sons entitled to go to the communion
table on the following Sabbath. The
practice no doubt had its origin in
large communities where suspicion
existed that unworthy persons might
participate in this part of the service,
but it was of no earthly use in small
churches where everybody knows
everybody else and a stranger was
a novelty. But still it was kept up,
for no better reason probably than
that it had always been the custom.

Beatty, Organs and Pianos.

Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, of Wash
Ington, New Jersey, the great Organ
and Piano manufacturer. is building
and shipping more organs and pianos
than ever. In 1870 MIR. Beatty left
home penniless pillow boy, and by his
indomitable will he has worked his
way up so as to sell, so far, nearly
100, 900 of Beatty's pianos and organs
since 1870 Nothing seems to dis
hearten him; obstacles laid in his way
that would have wrecked any ordinary
man forever, he turns to an advertise
ment and comes out of it brighter than
ever. His instruments, as is we'll
known, are very popular and are to be
found in all parts of the world. We
are informed that during the next ten
years he intends to sell 200, 900 more
of his make; that means a business of
$40, 000, 900, if we average them at
S10G 90 each. 1t is already the larSest
business of toe kind in existence. It
will pay you to write to Daniel F.
Beatty, Washington, New Jersey, for
catalogue.

A POKER SUIT.
AN Incident That Happened in e
Buffalo Courtroom
Dit. simpkins' Testimony Against the Pro-
prietor of q Gaming InstItusion-How
the Witness Knew Positively That
Cheating Was Going On.

''Now, your honor" said the pros
ecuting attorney, IT intend to prove
by this man that this place was not
only gambling establishment, but
that the games played there were not
what are known as square games.
That is, they were run with intent to
defraud and that the operations of
the owners, proprietors and dealers
were no more or less than larceny.
Mr.. Simpkins, will you please take
the stand?"
Mr.. Simpkins, who was pasty
faced young man, rose from his seat
and walked to the witness stand.
After the oath had been administered
to him and the usual preliminary
questions had been asked, he was
told to go on and tell his story.
SIT was this way" said Mr.. Simp-
kins. 1T like to play little poker
once in awhile, and went up into
this room and sat in game. There
were four others besides myself
playing. Things ran along pretty
evenly for awhile, and then one of
the men-I have since learned tina the
was the proprietor of the room-be-
gan to win heavily. I watched him
and became convinced that he was
cheating. Finally, knew he was
cheating and drew out of the game.
Then I sat and watched him for
awhile, and saw him dealing big
hands to the men he wanted to beat
and then deal himself bigger ones.
It was scandalous. He stocked the
cards and held them out, and did all
sorts of disreputable things. I saw
this and am prepared to prove it.
If there is anything I abhor it is
cheating at cards"
''Wait a minute, Mr. Simpkins, y
interrupted the prosecuting attor-
ney. What was it that first at
tracted your attention to the fact
that cheating was going on?"
Mr.. Simpkins fidgeted bit in his
chair and then said: why, 1 was
in a pot with this man, and when il
came to a showdown he had foul
kings"
''And why did that convince vol
that he was cheating?"
Because, because" stammeret
Mr.. Simpkins, and then he stopped
short.
ANSWER the question, Mr.. Simp
kins, put in the judge.
Mr.. Simpkins grew red in tht
face. Because" he finally said
"why, I knew he was cheating, be
cause he showed down four king!
and at the very same time I wa:
holding out two kings for the mex
hand. "-Buffalo Express.

Two Brands of Whisky.

Two gentlemen met in a restau-
rant the other day. One was appar-
emily in something of a hurry, for he
occasionally looked at his watch and
glanced about uneasily as he lis
tened to whatever the other was
saying. The other, however, was
very much interested in what he
was saying and found it inconven-
lent to leave off. He had achieved
that peculiar stagewhere the tongue
wags without perceptible effort and
time Is no object His friend was a
mighty good listener, and nodded
his head now and then rather per-
functoEily to Indicate that he was
still m the ring The attendants
winked at each other and watched
the pair. At the end of an hour the
tslkative man was apparently as
fresh as ever he was, while the lis
tener began to exhibit signs Of pun
ishment. Then q barkeeper went
over and asked them what they'd
have. The taIIzer paused long
enough to say whisky" and pro-
ceeded with the orie-sided converse
ton.
''What kind Of wilisky2" asked the
barkeeper. ''Figh tin or talkin'
whisky?"
Firing me some q ghting whisky, "
promptly exclaimed the patient IN
dividua1.
But the other fellow was so mad
that he got up and walked out wi tn
out drinking. Pit tsburgh Dispatch.

A Night in a Coal Mine.

81 once spent a night in coal
NINE" said Charles F. Tomley, OF
Indianapolis. SIT was partly the re-
suit of meanness, but more largely of
forgetfulness. l was out on tour of
inspection and investigation in Ohio
at the time, and had a letter from the
manager of a mining company au-
thorizing me to look over their mines.
I was generally received very courte-
ously and had no difficulty until one
day a miners boss demanded very
rudely a liberal contribution as beer
money. When I refused he told me
that could stop down in the mine
until I changed my mind, and he
actually refused to allow me go up
in the shaft. I never imagined he
meant anything more than a Joke
and as did not know the mine was
only working short time did not
dream the men were leaving for the
day. Such, however, was the case,
and although 1 waited hour after
hour no friendly shaft came to my
rescue. What had been first in
tended for bluff had been converted
into an outrage by sheer forgetful-
ness and spent a horrible night in
intense darkness and miserable
dampness. The horrors of that
night, with noises all around, for
which it was impossible to account,
can hardly be realized, ard if it is
anvtbinp like what q prisoner SIIf-
fers in solitary confinement such I'M
fortunates have my hearty sym

CHUNKS OF WISDOM.

kumor can wreck a bank as well as

Every patriotic citizen wants to Gel
brate.
All the worlds a stage, and it's full
of bad actors.
Great Bend can. Guido all former
celebrations.
Honesty is the best policy, but the
policy men don't think so.
A ball game, between two GOOD
clubs, would take well.
wholesome people never have medals
struck in their honor.
Remember what a grand time and a
splendid celebration we had in 80.
Dead men tell no tales, but their
biographers weave romances.
The new race track, east Of the Nor
rison, would be handy for the sports.
A non-union band-the wedding
ring worn by divorced woman.
Everybody and the babies could
spread their dinners in the park.
Some charming ladies never grow
older in years, only in looks.
Great Bend citizens can we'll afford
to spend $500 to prepare first-class en-
tertainment.
The fellow who is always in deep
water is usually shallow himself.
The two or three business men who
decline to contribute a cent should be
pointed out as terrible examples OF
non-patriotism.
Men who itch for Office are frequently
scratched when voting time comes
around.
When Great Bends citizens show tC
the friends Of surrounding towns that
we mean to spare neither pains noI
funds to provide ample amusements
other towns will willingly give way and
let this be Great Bends year to cele

Every citizen should enter into the
