Ministering to q Quiet Kentucky Flock

MlnISterInE TO q quiet kentucky Flock.
In pleasant, social little Kentucky
town not long ago a new minister arriv-
ed. Fervent in his mission against the
world, the flesh and the evil one and
not duly considering the points of his
compass, he delivered from his pulpit
the first Sunday a TRADE against card
playing. On Monday the wealthiest
member of his flock called on him and
said:
"Oh, dear Brother Parker, your SER
mon was very unwise. You will offend
half your people if you talk against
cards. We are just little quiet COM
munity all by ourselves here, and we
play cards whenever we want to. DOM
say anything more about card playing"
So the next Sunday the new preacher
launched out on dancing. Again the
wealthy member visited him to say that
his church people had always danced all
they wanted to, and he must not say
anything more against dancing. The
evil of horse racing was his subject the
following Sunday, and this brought the
rich member to him in great distress Of
mind.
''Great goodness, Brother Parker, this
is one Of the finest horse sections in the
state! You are beside yourself when
you try to put down horse racing.'
"Well," said the Respondent preach
er, eff you say SO I'll have to let these
evils alone. Next Sunday I'll abuse the
Jews -
''All right" remarked the wealthy
member, but don't overlook the fact
that I'm the only Jew in your congre-
cation. '-Louisville Courier j Journal

Easily Busted.

The business depression of the past
few years has been the evolution of q
large crop Of employment seekers. One
of them last week accosted gentleman
in this city. He was ragged, dirty, good
natured, evidently hungry enough to
eat COW if it were in his way. But his
soft slouchiness of gait rendered any
active exertion on his part highly i'm
probable. This impression was strength
ened by the dialogue that followed
"Good morning, SIR said he. ''I'd
like a job with you, sir. -
well, there is not much doing just
now-hardly anything, in fact, in my
line. I couldn It give You much to do

THE TRACER.

How He Follows Up Dishonest Purchasers
on the Installment Plan.
One Of the most important men in the
employ Of a firm that makes speciality
of selling goods on the installment plan
is the tracer. His duty, as his name
signifies, is to find out the whereabouts
of delinquent customers, who think to
get out Of the trouble of future pay
ments by quietly moving away and neg
Letting to leave their new address,
Nothing could be more foolish than
such course, for this is a feature of
the business that the installment> houses
have reduced to a science. It is obvious
that in this city the great majority of
those who purchase goods on weekly
payments live in flats. This makes it a
comparatively easy matter for the deal
ers to keep them under surveillance, for
one Of the first things the collector does
is to see the janitor and inform him
which families in the house have bought
goods on the installment plan. 1t pays
to fee the janitor for this service, for he
is in a position to know when any NOV
ing is about to take place, and the in
formation he gives the collector has
been the means of nipping in the bud
many we'll laid scheme to get out Of
paying furniture bill.
Sometimes, Of course, it happens that
a dishonest family will move away in
such hurry that the janitor is unable
to inform the firm in time. In such an
event the ''tracer' is put on the case.
He sets about his work with the method
Of the trained detective. He is familiar
with the name and address of every fur
niture mover in the city, and his &C.
quaintance among the helpers is SO ex-
tensive that it is more than likely he
has a personal friend among the men
who moved the family he is seeking.
With such advantages his task is not
nearly SO hard as the uninitiated would
imagine, and there would be fewer at
tempts made to ''beat'' the installment
dealers if it were better known how lit
tie chance person has to succeed. -

Nemesis.

Nemesis is lame, but she is of colossal
stature, and sometimes, while her sword
is not yet unsheathed, she stretches out
her huge left arm and grasps her vic
tim. The mighty hand is invisible, but
the victim totters under the dire clutch.

PoPULIsTS in Arkansas
who are at heart for Bryan
can make their votes eiec-
tive only by voting for Bryan
and Sewall electors, Every
vote cast for the Bryan and
Watson electors is really half
a vote for the Mckinley and
Hobart electors, Suppose the
Bryan and SeweIl electors
should receive $4,000, the
BRYAN and Watson electors
10000, votes and the Nc
Kinley electors 40, 600, votes.
Here would be IS, 900, voters
expressing a choice for Bryan
and yet Mckinley with 40,
600, voters for him would
carry Arkansas. This is
true because the people do
not vote for the presidential
candidates but for electors,
and if there are two sets of
Bryan electors his strength
is divided. AS a matter of
fact the Bryan and Sewall
electors will get many thou
sands more votes in Arkan-
Sas than the Bryan and Wat
son and the Mckinley and
Hobart electors combined
out we mention the above to
call attention to the folly of
Populist leaders, They know
that their electors are GER
tain of defeat and if they
want Bryan elected the SEN
sible thing to do would be to
vote for the Democratic cleo
tors.

WOULD YOU BELIEVE
That You Tan Walk 85,253 Miles In One
3 Hour?

Have you ever thought Of the dis
tance you travel while you are out on
an hours stroll? Possibly you walk
three miles within the hour, but that
does not by any means represent the
distance you travel. The earth turns
on its axis every "a hours. For the
sake Of round figures we will call the
,earth's circumference $4,000 miles, and
so you must have travelled during the
hours stroll 1000 miles in the aXial turn
Iof the earth.
But this is not all. The earth makes
a journey around the sun every year,
and long but rapid trip it is. The
distance of our planet from the sun
we will put at 90 100000 miles. This is
the radius of the earth's orbit-half the
diameter Of the circle, as we call 1t.
The whole diameter is therefore 1884,
100000 miles, and the circumference be-
ing the diameter multiplied by 3.1416,
is about 57s,OOoOOO.
This amazing distance the earth trav.
els in its yearly journey, and dividing
st by a65 we find the daily speed about
1,5s6,0oO. Then, to get the distance, you
rode around the sun during your hours
walk, divide again by "a, and the result
Is about $4,000 miles. But this is not
the end of your hours trip, The sun
with It's entire brood Of planets, is NOV
Ing In space at the rate of n little more
than 43S,oo0 miles day, or 1880 miles
on hour,
So, adding your three miles of leg
travel to the hours nXial movement OF
the earth, this to the carths orbital
Journey, and that, again, to the carth's
excursion with the sun, and you find
you have Travelled, in the hour, 1928;
miles.-Cincinnati Enquirer

QUEEN MAKES FEW MISTAKES.
Why Her Opinion Is Respected by All of
Her Subjects

Why Her Opinion Is Respected by All of
Her Subjects
Just think of the blunders all living
monarchs have made, even Francis
Joseph, of Austria, whom men now ac-
count q nestor, and all the premiers of
our time and then reflect on this reign,
in which there has never been blunder
great enough to be pcrceptible to the
million eyes which always watch o
court. 1t seems to us that wholly apart
from the difficult question Of the proper
limits Of loyalty to an individual, there
is enough in the known facts to justify
all the reverence with which the queen
is regarded and which extends far be-
yond the limit of her scepter, wide as
the limit has now become.
Foreigners occupy in many respects
the position Of posterity, and :mong
foreigners capable Of Judging the rev.
erence for the queen is at least as great
as in England, her opinion when known
to foreign court weighing at least as
heavily as it does with her own minis
ters. This is due, say several of our
contemporaries, to the intermarriagcs
which have made her majesty the COM
mon ancestresS in so many courts, in
every court indeed, not strictly Cath
olic, and no doubt the strange position
Of the queen in that respect is one rca-
son for the special honor in which she
is held abroad, but it is not the prin-
copal one. Relatives can hate one an
other very hard, and the queen is as
greatly respected in WASHINGTON or
New York rs in Berlin or ST. Peters
burg.
Her majesty is great because her
reign has been great,-great in its enter
prises, great in its success, great, above
all, in that compatibility which, owing
maiHly to the character of the SOW
ereign, it has shown to be possible be-
tween more than republican freedom
and monarchial institutions. The Brit
ish empire is the greatest object lesson
ever given to the wo ii to show that q
state can enlarge its borders without
living under tyranny and without uni
versal military service.-London Spec

flng

of Co.. ~OIns.
1nParis, years ago, ayOung girl named
Cosette lived in shabby attic with her
old uncle, a rag picker. He gave her
every evidence of being very poor, and
the two had many hardships to endure
and often experienced cold and hunger.
tosettc at length went out to service
In the household OF a tradesman in on
other part of the city. She still le-
tanned warm affection for her Old
uncle, and every week would bring him
a part of her wages, The rest she care
fully saved, and, before many years, she
she had a sum laid by, though it was
small. She became engaged to he mar
ried TO baker and was very happy.
But Willie she was planning what
weddingclothess should buy with the
money she had saved word came that
her uncle, the ragpicker, had died sud
denly, alone in his garret.
Cosette hasteneG to the place, and
finding there none TO care for the body
or give 1t burial. she had it done at heI
own cost, eXpending in this way nearly
all of her little hoard.
When her lover. the baker, heard
what she had done, he was furious at
the loss of her dowry and refused to
marry her Her employer also was dis
pleased and discharged her.
Sadly. Cosette found her way again
TO the desolate attic, where she wept
bitter tears. But she soon took heart
again, and determined to seek another
situation.
She took survey of the room to see
II her uncle had left anything of use,
but there was nothing, save q large
stuffed cat, of which they had been very
ford.
Cosette reached up and lifted this
carefully down from its dusty shelf. 1t
seemed very heavy. AS she was NOV
ing it part OF the hide broke away, and
a slower of gold pieces fell to the floor.
Her uncle had been a miser, and for
years had secretly hidden his earnings
in this strange receptacle, where lie
knew they would be safe, as no one
would ever think Of treasure being con-
cealed there.
Cosette could scarcely believe her
good fortune. When the gold was
coF.: ted there were a full thousand louis
dor, equal to about $4,000, and this
made her wholly independent. She
had no longer need of a situation. 1t

Fallacy OF Food Tables.

Tables giving the respective percent
age Of nutrimcnt in animal and vcgc-
table foods are quite common and are
often consulted by those wishing to
gain nourishment from the smallest
quantity Of food matter Such per-
sons forget that the measure Of nutri-
ton to any individual case is not to be
judged by u table showing the nutri-
tive parts Of food as determined by
chemical analysis, but depends upon It's
dlgcstbility in his or her particular
case. Cheese, measured by the ele-
mepts Of its composition, is far more
nourishing than beef yet cheese is to
most people difficult Of digestion, and
therefore beef in the majority Of cases
affords much more 0.tual nourshmont.
All depends on the person, Many times
food that Is practically poison to one
is nouriShing and inyigomting TO an
other We arc not only feNrfully and
wonderfully made, but we are made so
unlike in many respects that we must
not take It for granted that another
mans diet will suit us til we have
