Professional Dead Beat.

CLINTON, Mass, Feb. 25. Charges
have been preferred against Rev. James
w. Barter, former pastor of the Metho-
dist Church at Berlin by Rev. Sidney X.
Smith, the present pastor of the church.
In a letter TO Presiding Elder Eaton OF
the Boston North District, Mr.. Smith
alleges that Mr.. Barter is no longer en-
titled TO hold the right of preaching in
the Methodist denomination, the princi-
pal charge being that he is professional
dead beat.
The matter will probably be called be-
fore the conference of the district at
Springfield, in April. Rev. Mr.. Barter,
since ne gave up the pastorate at Berlin,
has been an agent OF the United States
Baking Company, the Moxie Company
and is at present agent of Temple Brothers

front walls of The McElroy building,
where the fire started. The stone block
was gutttd, but not as badly as the others.

ing company's stock was insured for

A Political Platform THAT won.

When the democratic county convention
met that year. says the Peoria Journal, it
had a morning session at which the COM
mittees were appointed, and then it adj
journed until afternoon. Among others
committee on resolutions was appointed,
and the chairman of this committee was
Uncle" Perry Lewis. Mr. Lewis was a
sterling farmer citizen, rich man, yet
one not much in a literary way. When
sibility he hurried across the courthouse
yard to the Office of Judge Shaw. You
see, Judge" he said, we're not up in these
matters, and we thought that perhaps you
would write us out a little platform along
the line you think we will need" I'm do
it, was the reply. The judge had been a
little too free with intoxicantS that day.
and was not altogether responsible for
what he did. He always liked good whis-
ky, and dotted on plug tobacco. 'Blanked
fopsr he said of those who used fine cut
ambrosia; chopped up, like it was for a
calf he used to say disdainfully. So
when, Immediately after dinner, Uncle
Perry appeared for the platform, he was
disappointed. Forgot all about it, said
the Judge MY. memory isn't worth
Shucks any more.
But we've relied upon you, and the con-
vention will take it up in few minutes -
protested Uncle Perry.
Never mind-we'll fix ii now. You
don't want much-do you? Just some
thing short and sweet and to the point"
The judge grabbed pen, and this is the
platform he wrote:
Plank Free press.
Plank 2-Free trade.
Plank 3-Sour mash whisky.
Plank Plug tobacco.
Plank 5-Old-fashioned hell.
1T is needless to say" said Col. Car
rard, that such platform as that went
through a democratic county convention
down in Egypt with a whoop."

From the London Judy.
He had a cold, a simple cold,
Located in his head;
He did not call a doctor in
But asked advice instead
OF all his friends and neighbors, who
Knew just what should be done
In any such emergency.
They gave it-by the ton.
Said one: Rub tallow on your nose,
In mustard soak your feet;
Keep shifting eucalyptus and
Drink lots of whisky neat.
You must not think of going out
But stay in bed and nurse
Yourself a bit" He did so, but
The next day he was worse.
Another said: Go out of doors,
Take heaps of exercise:
Don't sit and SILVER by the fire,
For that is most unwise.

You want to work it off,

He had a beastly cough.
