One night last week he attended services
at the Seventh Day Adventist tont, and
you know they believe in the keeping OF
the seventh day Saturday as the Sabbath
and in the near approach Of the second
coming of Christ. Well, it seems that on
this particular night the disciples preached
this doctrine for all it was worth. Any
way they got the subject OF this item
worked up to pitch, at which he was
easily excited. AS he wended his way
homeward through the darkness he gave
the discourse to which he had listened Sc.
rious consideration. At last he reaches
hcme, and, as he turns in at the gate, a
miserable screetch owl, 'perched In high
tree, rends the air with his indescribable
voice." He can't stand screetch owls
never could-so he hunts for rock. A
good. heavy one he finds, and, without
ceremony, lets fly at the owl. The rock
rebounds and comes down upon the house
like thousand brick. The owl, however,
stuck to his limb and kept up his part OF
the program, and, in hunting more rocks,
to rout him with our man overturned
several flower stands and aroused flock
of geese, which joined the owl without In
vitation. The yard dog opened up: about
| this time he found pile Of rocks, and just
there Is where the fun commenced. He
had got everything on the place aroused
and clear forgot what it wss that he was
going to throw at. So he just commenced
raining the rocks around in every direc-
ton. About this time cow down In the
lot began to bawl and the words of the
Adventist sThe harvest ia ripe" flashed
across his mind. Forgetting that it was
be himself who had kicked up the noise
that was now 30 terrific, and mistaking
the sound that came from the cow lot for
| blast from Gabriel's trumpet, be went
beside himself" and came near alarming
the entire settlement. The boys also add
that next morning his front yard looked
like it had been used for cyclone and
lightning depository.
Our note book, Messrs. Editors, Is flush
| with news items, but we don't feel IKE
copying them off. Went to hear the Ad-
ventists preach tonight, and it is now
after ! O'Clock, and We ara tired and
sleepy. Please attribute this marked dill.
| ference in our chirography to nervousness,
caused by loss of sleep, and tell the ooys
to look for US again next week.
