Another point s--the great amount to be saved

the freight charges on stock purchased from the

LUCY WAS DEMuRE.
But tho Sedato Young NIinister Feared
High Kicking Girls.

High Kicking Girls.
A sedate young minister recently took
up quarters i'll u boarding house in the
Tenderloin district. He was delighted to
find himself the only gentleman at II ia
bio where six young women lent charm
even to murky coffee and hashed and re-
hashed hash. He took them to church
with him on the first Sunday morning,
and i'll the evening they sang gospel
hymns for him. Ho retired early that
night, and the sound of their voices
lulled him to sleep, but it did not seem
to him that the song was exactly gospel.
However, he had forgotten the occur
renee by breakfast time.
The next day some marks on the door
of the back parlor attracted his attcn-
ton. There were just as many of them
although he did not notice that-as
there were young women, varying in al
titude from e to 81 feet. Over each
mark was a capital letter, but it did not
occur to him that these capitals were the
initials of the young women Under
meath the lowest line and around all of
the lines except tho two upper ones
which represented progress was q
smudge us if former lines had been rub
bed out i'll order to make later and high
er ones
Z The sedate thcologuc became very
curious about these marks He asked
many questions but the young women
only teased him by way of answer, excit-
ing his curiosity and fascinating him all
the more. 1t had seemed to him that
young women Of the city had moro
charming ways than those of the coun-
try. One of the six i'll particular, by
name Lucy, had Won his admiration.
She was the dcmurcst of all, and she il
was whom he took to church alone and
for whom he bought ice cream and can-
dy wrapped up in boxes bearing gold la
bels. Yet even she was proof against his
most subtle queries about the meaning
of those marks
What might have been tho future re-
lations between himself and Lucy if he
had not returned unexpectedly one even
ing from prayer meeting no one can tell
The door of the back parlor was partly
open, and he heard whisk of skirts and
saw near the topmost mark on the door
the toe of a little boot-Lucy's boot.
His baggage was packed before lie
went TO bed.-New York Press.

1t was back III the middle seventies
whcn Wild Bill, ''by request and
merely to show his witchlikc skill with
those weapons, stood across tho street,
fully 100 feet away, and with a cal
lber Colts pistol i'll each hand put all
the IL bullets into the center of this
