LudiCrous Mistake.

Cecil Lynch. of the Midland railroad, made a mistake week or so ago that caused great deal of confusion in a church service at Barton, a point on the Midland few miles this side Of Helena. There is a gentleman at Bar ton who has been sending down dol lar semiocca sionally with instructions to bring out quart of whiskey. Last week the gentleman. who happens to be a steward iu the Methodist church, handed Cecil d dollar and note. as is his custom. The note called for a quart of wine for sacramental purpo- seS. Cecil had become so familiar with the contents of notes that had al- ways accompanied the dollars OH pre- vi0us occasions that he either did not read 1t or paid little attention to It. That evening he brought out a quart of the gentleman's favorite brand of whiskey. The mistake was not dis covered until the minister began ad- ministering the sacrament. the first old gentleman to whom it WAS passed re- jecting it and d.nouncing the contents of the cup as very vile whskey. The discovery stopped the minister from proceeding further with the sacrament. The steward was placed in very em- harassing position.-Monroe County Sutl

 Abraham LincOlu-As a result of the war, corporations have been euthroned and an era of corruption will follow :: the money power will endeavor to pro long it's reign by playing on the prpju dices Of the people until all wealth is concentrated in a few hands and the Republic Is destroyed.
