BAD BILLS BREAK.
II Was q Sensational Feature and Shut Up
the Whole Revival.

the Whole Revival.
Bad Bill was we'll known charac-
ter in the west, and there are many
stories told Of his exploits, but one of
the best has never been printed, and
was related to reporter by man who
was present when it occurred
Great Bend, Kan, now one Of the
best towns in the state, was at one time
about the worst. That was when it was
a railroad terminus before Dodge City
was established.
A travelling evangelist went to Great
Bend and tried to start a revival. There
were few Christians in town, and
these all attended the first meeting, the
only one of the unregenerate present be-
ing Bad Bill, who took front seat.
Every one feared trouble when he walk
ed into the church, but he sat quietly
during the exhortation. The evangelist
ven to stand up, and every person pres
ent except Bill arose. When they were
seated again, Bill got up, and, drawing
two pistols, said;
lyon say you want to go to heaven.
Now, aLy;..-.-g l cen do TO help this
game along and give pleasure to the
players, I'm i'll for. You all want to go
to heaven, and I'll give you as good a
chance as you'll ever have. The first
man that gets up I'll give him ticket
clean through, without any stop overs. y
The evangelist crawled under a seat
and the members of the congregation
laid ON the chairs.
"Well. said Bill, 81 see you WASH t
in earnest, SO we'll put out the lights
and call this meeting adjourned. One
by one he shot out the lights, and by
morning the evangelist was on his way
to Hutchinson, while the members Of
the congregation kept quiet and made
no further attempts at holding a revi

The town of Nottingham is 1874 miles
north of London. A part Of the town is
ON low lying ground close to the river
Trent, where foods sometimes occur,
but the rest of the town is built on a
series Of red sandstone hills. It is sit
uated ON the southeastern fringe of the
great Derbyshire coal field, and the
historic forest Of Sherwood formerly
spread almost up TO the city walls.
Now this forest has. IN great measure,
been cut down, aud this has reduced the
rainfall. raised the temperature and
rendered the climate of the town drier
and more bracing than it used to be.
The mean annual rainfall is now %
inches and the temperature AZ degrees.
AS sandstone is soft and easily cut il is
only natural that the early jewellers in
caves came and lived III holes dug in
the hills Of Nottingham, particularly
as the forest close at hand was good
hunting ground where game could be
captured for food.
Bronze and other tools employed by
these early and prehistoric inhabitants
are occasionally found, and the first
name known TO have been given to the
place was Snotingaham. This in Celtic
means "the home among the rocks. F"
Afterward il became one Of the towns
of the kingdom of Mercia, and in the
ninth and tenth centuries was one Of
the five chief northern strongholds of
the Danes. Already what is now known
as the Castlehill was "A strongly forti-
fed position, and it was in his attempt
to capture this fortress that Alfred the
Great was signally defeated by the
Danes. Two hundred years later, when
William the Conqueror in his turn sub
jugated the Saxons, he rebuilt the cas-
tie of Nottingham and placed it under
the command Of his natural son, Will
liam Peverel.
But it was here also that Saxon re-
sistance continued for many long
year, for it was in the great forest hard
by that Robin Hood and his merry men
dwelt. These outlaws We're Saxons who
were dissatisfied with the Norman rule
and preferred life of brigandage to
submission. The holes dug in the rocks,
the passages made through the sand
stone mountains, enabled these bold for
esters to occasionally appear in the
town and close under the Norman bat

There is no such thing as luck, I"
said Colonel North once. Everybody
in this world has chances-yes, every
body, from the working collier who
strikes a seam of coal which was never
thought of by the mining engineer to
the colliery proprietor who gets infor-
nation regarding that seam and re-
solves to work it. What people call
luck simply means that man sees his
chance, holds on to it and at the right
moment works it for himself. Luck?
Nonsensel Luck is simply the faculty
of seizing passing opportunities. "
