THE GOOD MANS ORDEAL
Ten Minutes OF Devotion Under the MOI
Distressing Con nditi0ns.

Ten Minutes OF Devotion Under the MOS,
Distressing Conditions.
The worshipers at the Church OF
the Ascension in Auburn, J.. L, had
a novel experience one Sunday after
noon. The professional hymn had
been sung, the white-rObed young
clergyman han finished his exhorta-
ton to the ''dearlY beloved brethren" +"
the responses were over. and prayers
commenced when d tardy larishioner
arrived AS he walked down the
aisle he did not notice that he was
followed by a companion. When the
|parishloner stopped and bowed his
head in prayer his companion con-
tinued its demure tread onward to-
ward the chancel. Once or twice it
stopped as the organ sounded the
'amens," but when progress was re-
sumed the course was still onward.
BY a nimble leap the wanderer
landed on the platform leading to the
:hancel, and there revealed itself as
} tiger striped kitten about six
months old The kittens and the
clergyman's eyes met. The hCrritied
clergyman with great effort cont n
ued to read on, while the uncon-
cerned kitten, with tail erect and

W.th the close of the anthem came
the resumption Of prayers and also
the renewed perambulations of

ror he felt her gently testing the sta
bility of his robe, apparently feeling
her ground for leap The only
place to leap was the clergYman's
back. The kitten eyed her victim
critically and was about to leap when
she was started by the terrific yelp
of dog which had somehow got into
the choir stall.
The kitten now turned her atten
tiOn to the organ, and peeping around,
saw her enemy. Her enemy saw her
at the same time. Each gazed in
tently in an apparent effort to hypno-
tie the other, but the experiment
was cut short by the dog, who, with
a leap and yelp, made for the cat and

shippers from their knees, many of
whom were entirely ignorant of the
fearful ordeal through which their
pastor had gone during the space OF
ten minutes OF prayer.

uELf.IE,S EYES.

Iwees Nsllie's eyes are twilight borns
The eyes love TO greet;
They never opened first at morn,
Or mid the noontide heat;
But when the sun was sinking loT,
Before the stars began to glow,
Where southern jeslmines sway AMI blow
They caug+t their shadows sweet.

Illumined with celestial dyes.

Twilight eyes.
Sweet Naliie's mouth is summer-kissed
To grace beyon eclipse;
One eve a ruby rose was missed
And blOssomed on her lips,
And softer than the coo of dove
OF southern winds that fit above
Are all her words, and naught but love
From out her rose mouth slips.
o Nellies lips, sweet Nellie's lips,
Their dulcet tone like honey drips
Upon the ear
Serenely clear
Slender,
Tender.
Summer lips.
Sweet Nellie's locks are sunset crowned
Der ears of sea-shells mold,
And mid their lissome loops are found
The cleaning tints of gold.
No locks more fair in trancing lure
Were ever clasped by flllet pure
To wake the lay of troubadour
Or fire bard of old.

Unripened Tomatoes.

Professor Massey, of the North Caro-

when frost is imminent he gathers the
green tomatoes, wraps them separately
IN paper (old newspapers will answer),
and packs them in boxes. which are
stored in a place Just warm enough to
be secure from frost, the object being to
keep them and not to ripen them. Then
as the fruits are wanted a few are
brought out at n time and placed in a
warm position where they will ripen
in a few days. In this way he has kept
his table supplied with sliced tomatoes
to midwinter.

The group halted near cluster OF

there was ten minutes more left them.
The old people stood there glum and
motionless. John and Milly had locked
hands and looked pale. Marten told
them to lie down fiat on their stomachs
and hide their faces in the ground till
the thing was over.
Tremblingly, fearfully, they obeyed,
