There is an Episcopal minister Oh tho

years old respectively. of whom he is
very proud. The responsibility Of rear
ing two sons that they may DO orna-
ments to society is deeply impressed up
on the good man, and he watches his
boys with a jealous eye, fearing that
they may be brought under harmful in
huenoes- Ono morning he called the
boys Mt the usual hour, and when he
had satisfied himself that they we're up
he returned to his morning paper. Thir-
ty minutes passed. but the boys did not

anything further than to tell them that
breakfast was ready, but he immedi-
ately sought his wife and conhded to
her what he had discovered. They held
q consultation and decided that it would
be best for the mother to talk to them.
When the morning meal was finished.
She talked with her boys long and seri-
ously on the evils of card playing, and
concluded by saying that she would
trust to the elder one to dispose of the
deck they had some time during the
day. With that the subject was dropped
until evening. At tho dinner table she

hourished In western state good many

One day Zimri took his rod and line and

He had been gone but ono day when his
poor old wifo died unexpectedly, and a
neighbor hastoned Off In pursuit OF Zimri.
He was found silently but profoundly
happy, with his line cast in the Cinnamon

Close Shooting.

An Englishman who lived many years
In Africa says that 1t Is now several years
since ho vcnturcd To take ono of the most
daring shots that over was hazartcd. His
wife was sitting In tho house near tho open
door, tho children were playing about her
and he was without, not far away, busy
with q wagon.
Suddenly, ho says, though 1t was mid
day, an enormous lion appeared at short
distance, slowly advanced and laid himself
quietly down in tho shade upon tho very
threshold of tho door.
My wife, frozen with foar remained
motionless In her placo. Tho children took
refuge in her lap, and tho cry they uttered
attracting my attention 1 hastened toward
the door. My establishment and horror
may DO Imagined when L found the en-
trance barred In such q manner
The lion had not seen me- and I glided
gently, scarcely knowing what meant to
do, to the side of tho house and to the
window of my chamber, in which 1 knew
my loaded gun was standing.
BY happy chance had set &c In q
corner close by the window, so that could
reach it from the outside, and, still moro
fortunately, the door of the room was opon,
SO that could SEQ the whole danger of the
scene.
Ihere was no tlme to think, for the lion
was beginning to move, perhaps with tho
intention Of making spring I called
softly to tho mother not to DO afraid, and
then fired. The ball passed directly over
my boys head and lodged in tho forehead
OF the lion Immediately above his eyes and
stretched him on tho ground.
There was an instant Of fearful suspense.
Then fired again, but the second bullet
was thrown away. for his majesty never
stirred after the FIRST shot, and I leaped
over his prostrsto body to clasp my wife
and children in my arms. Youths Com.
