COT fooled did you?

Dean Hole, In his recent 'sMore
Memories tells an amusing story
OF how an old woman got the better
of her clergyman in an argument.
The village churchyard was over
crowded, exception itssunless north
ern side, in which o suicide was bur-
led. One day the vicar, while visit
ing a poor old woman who was dy-
ing, thought he would try to get her
consent to be buried In the roomy
northern plot. He began by assur-
ing Der that the common aversion
to burial in any particular portion
of consecrated ground was a silly
prejudice and a foolish superstition.
Then he besought her, as personal
favor to himself, and as an example
to others, to permit her body to be
buried in the northern side of the
churchyard. The old woman thought
it all over for few minutes, and
then answered: well. sir, as you
seem to think as one part Of the
churchyard is as good as another,
and that it makes no difference
where we be put, perhaps youth gle

Ringing for Prayers.

A very pretty story about con-
fiding child is told of the four-year.
old son Of q member of the Georgia
legislature. Having left the boy in
room OF one of the big hotels of
the metropolis, with the command
to go to bed Immediately, he went
down to seek his cengenial friends in
the Office. The bell-boys were soon
thrown into CONSERVATION by the
many and various calls from the
room in which the little fellow had
been left, and quite a number of
them were soon collected, there. But
it was not ice water or fire or a "B.
and s." that the child wanted. He
astonished the boys with this unusual
request: Please, sirs, send some
one to me to hear me say my
prayers. "-Harper's Magazine.

Birds LIKE TO TRAVEL.

This, ls tho Reason Why They an
nuailS Leave Our Northern Climates.
Why do the birds fit southwark
each Autumn and rebarn again with
every spring2 No one knows, but
science in the person of PROT. Wang,
the eminent Austrian ornithologist,
has Just disclosed that the usual
fippsnt answer to this question:
Because they like TO travel" is not
far ont Of the way after all, says the
New York World.
In lecture that Prof. Wang re-
Gently delivered at Vienna he gave
some extremely interesting details
regarding the migrations Of birds
all of which migrations resemble one
another in two respects: they follow
the most direct lime southwark and
are made with almost incredible
rapidity. Numerous observations,
have been made at Heligoland, which
is the principal halting place of birds
of passage from northern countries
and in Egypt, which is the winter
home of many. and these observa-
tions have established some facts
hitherto unknown.
The blue birds traverse the four
hundred nautical miles which separ-
ate Egypt from Heligoland in single
night, which is at the rate of more
than forty geographical miles per
hour. The swallows speed is over
two and one-half miles per minute,
or nearly three times that of the
fastest railway train. Even the
younger birds, six or eight weeks
old, accompany the others in their
long journey.
Prof. Wang asks himself what is
the impulse which causes the birds,
after the brooding and moulting sea-
son is over, to quit our northern eli
mate. He does, not think it is fear
of cold-for many species quite as
delicate as those which migrate
southwark easily Withstand the
rigors of the winter, but that they
have an irresistible humor for trav-
cling. This Is his idea of the fact,
but he can give no explanation.

Obituary of Mrs. Sarah A. Clinton.


A great pail of SORROW was cast up
on the household of Mr. Frank NJ.
Chiffon, Pembroke, when ON the
morning of May 18th, thedeathangel
entered and claimed for his own the
beloved wife and devoted mother in
the person of Mrs, Sarah A. Chiffon.
She was the daughter of VIM. Las
seen, deceased, and was born in Hop
kinsville, July 9th, 1889. Early in
life she protested faith in Christ and
united with the Presbyterian church,
and through all the years gave abun-
dant and lovely evidence that she
was truly child of God and had
been redeemed i'm the blood of the
Lamb.
She was one of the early graduates
of Walnut HILL Seminary near Lex
ington, KY, where she spent several
sessions acquiring an education and
from which she came forth with all
the equipments of a varied and thor
ough mental culture to fit her for the
future work in life.
July ~, 1865 she was most happily
united in marriage to Mr.. Frank NJ.
Chiffon, with whom she continued to
live in unbroken peace and fondest
love to the hour of her death.
A short time after her marriage she,
changed her church relations, becom-
ing member of the Baptist church
at "Old Bethel" then under the pas
toral care of Rev. Geo. Hunt, to whom
as her spiritual guide and adviser she
grew deeply attached.
Those who knew Mrs. Chiffon do
not wonder that her death caused
such profound grief. The
loving children who survive her, three
sons and two daughters, rise up to
call her blessed; her husband, also
he praiseth her. "For, like Solomon's
virtuous woman. her price was far
above riches"
She was indeed a beautiful type of
all that constitutes noble Christian
womanhood. Not only a loving wife,
but faithful counselor and helper
was she; not only an indulgent, de-
voted mother, but wise instructor,
a safe, true guide for the inexperien-
ced feet of her children; not only a
loyal friend, but diligent worker in
the busy world, doing with her might
what her hands found to do. In
her character were blended all the
domestic virtues, rendering her one
of the noblest and best of woman
hood. She loved her home which her
presence made bright and
lived for her husband and chill
dren life of self-sacrifcing deyo-
tion. But this was not all; her
church laid no claim upon her to
which she did not cheerful y respond
and her influence for good radiated
in all directions and fell as a
benediction on those about her.
For two or more years before hel
death she was greatly afflicted but
bore her sufferings most patiently and
bravely The cup she drank held
many bitter drops, but she took it as
! from loving Fathers hand who
did "all things WE'LL and chastened
only for her good. Human love die
all that was possible to spare her tn,
pangs of suffering and to prolong the
life that was so precious to the home
circle and friends, but Gods will
must be done. He had hidden he,
come up higher to those heavenly
mansions of eternal beauty prepared
for such as she.

enjoyment, at very small expense,
