the fast young man Of the parable. You
know what "A splendid home he left You
know what n hard time he had. And you
remember how after that season Of vaga-
bondage and prndigaiity he resolved TO go
and weep out his sorrows on the bosom Of
parental forgiveness. Well, there Is great
excitement one day In front Of the door OF
the old farmhouse. The servants come
rushing up and say: Whats the matter2
What is the matiers' But before they
quite arrive the old man cries out, Put n
ring on his hand" What a seeming alb
surdityl What can such wretchcd men
dicant as this fellow that is tramping on
toward the house want with IA ring? oh,

know that the impression Is abroad
among some people that religion bemeans
and bclittlcs a man: that II takes all the
sparkle out Of his soul; that he has to ex-
change roistcring independence for an

a man becomes Christian, he does not
go down; he starts upward. Religion

cowHIDED BY A CONDUCTOR.
Superintendent Wells Punished by a
Subordinate.

Charlotte, n. c., Aug. 27.-Charlotte
had quite a sensation to-day. Charles
6. Hoffman, conductor on No. 63,
freight from Columbia to Charlotte,
on the c., C. and A. railroad, cowhided
P. J. Wells, superintendent of the same
read.
Some time in the spring Hoffman
took three passengers on his train and
collected their 10-cent tickets. He put
the tickets in pocket that he did not
use much and forgot to turn them in.
Wells some days ago accused him of
having kept the tickets. Later some
railroad man told Hoffman that Wells
had said that he (Hoffman) and the
agent at Fort Mills, S. O., were in part
nership, in that one sold tickets and
the other failed to punch them.
Hoffman bought a cowhide to-day
and attacked Wells. He cut him across
the face twice, and then slapped him.
Wells is not a strong man physically.
He is a graduate from Harvard. 1T has
caused quite stir in Southern Rail-
read circles. The cowhiding took
place at o'clock this afternoon.
