There was bet of $40 laid yesterday
between two newspaper men as tcwhich
could repeat the Lords prayer the fast
er, and they gabbled it out at such a
rate that the third party declared that
the only proper way to divide the wager
was for them to repeat it in q phono-
graph, which would, Of course, correct
" repeat each word which was uttered.
This seemed to strike both Of the par
ties to the bet as fair, and repairing to
q dealer or Madison street who rents
monographs they explained to him the
situation. He fell in with the fun Of
the thing, and ranged the combatants
up in front of a couple of recorders, and
at a given signal they started off a. If
the very deuce was after them.
"There" exclaimed one of the gentle
men. II told you you weren't in it with
me. Why, my father was clergyman,
and I've heard that prayer three times
every Sunday since ! was knee high to
q woodchuck.
Maybe you have" admitted his OPP
ponent, ''but just let's see if you re-
peated it correctly"
Whereupon the machine was started
up and ground out very slowly and dis
tinctly the following:
'Father-chart in even when in the
course of human events il become neces-
sary for one nation solve p'litikle bands
which meet 'em with another, q decent
respect for the opinions of mankind
should compel them TO declare the causes
which impel them 10 the separation.
Now the laws of nature and the laws Of
God vary in this respect, that those of
nature have been so tempered and
changed by the art Of man that the con-
ditioIs which exist today and those
which existed a thousand years ago are
so entirely different that the men of the
present could and justly so should not
be expected to Withstand the ravages OF
nature. 1t would, / say, be impossible
for the modern man to live even one
