HE KNEW,


Brer 'Lias Explains What He Knows About
Scripture.
Tsere was an old darby in southern ILL
n0ls who wanted to join the ministry. He
had progressed through many years of trial
and tribulation from the position OF chief
hog stealer and henroost robber of the
community to the mourners' bench, to
membership, to deaconate, and finally to
the dignifed office Of sexton and chief bell
ringer of the white folks church in the
same town. He coulln't read, but his
granddaughter Lrcintly could, and he made
her read to him every evening from the
good book and prayerfully padded her
with a bedslat three times week that she
might fear God. He was finally brought
before the Loard Of examination, which
was conducted MS follows:
"Brer 'Lias, do you know the Billet"
"Yas, praise do I.awd."
"Brer 'Lias, do you believe it to be the
word of God?"
"Yas, dat do, praise de Lawd."
"Do you believe tho parablesS"
"Dat do. Ever wu'd OBJ dem parbles is
faces, sho huff. Gospel troof"
do you know any of them well enough
to repeat, Brer 'Liasl"
dat do. knows dem all, but dat one
OF Potiphar and Jezebal is de truest an
mos powerful one oh all. Hit goes dis
way; You see, POtiphar was a ridin down
in his charyit rum jerusalem into Jericho.
He drove long Ill bit wen long come Jeze-
bal She say, 'W'ite man, gimme ride,
an he done TUX 'er up benin him in his
charyit, An dey went erlong Ill furder
an fell among t'ieves An dey say, 'Frow

IAN Potiphar, he say, Let him among

"But dey say all de louder, Frow down

IAN finally he frow down ,Tezebal But

Change Of Quarters.

The Mobiles County bank will va
cate their present quarters about May
18th and move into III. E. Torrance's
store where they will have more COM
modious quarters. The southeast
corner of the store is now being par
titioned and put in shape for them
It is rumored that the old bank build
ing will be tore down and a large
brick building erected on that corner,
to be used by the bank and for a
hotel. The resident bank officials
deny having knowledge Of
any improvements Of this kind. S
An improvement of this kind
would be of great benefit to this viii
age and would show spirit Of enter
prise such as needs to be revived, and
would proba bly, be the means Of
awakening improvements to such an
extent that the whole block fronting
10th street would be rebuilt with
large mercantile buildings.

Telephone Talk.

The Osceola County Tribune says:
Mr.. Pritchard Of the Spirit Lake
Telephone Co. was in Sibley last
Friday and in reply to questions
said he expected to have the Sibley
exchange going in ten days
and they have gota a franchise in near
ly every town in northwestern Iowa
and southwestern Minnesota. In
rome places they ran into red hot
fights with other telephone compan
les in which the Spirit Lake com
pany came Oft victorious. The Bell
and Western Electric companies are
in opposition to the Spirit Lake com
pany, but recent meetings have been
held and arrangements made where
by the service Of one company will be
directly connected with the other,
this means a complete service all
over Iowa and Minnesota. The first
work on the new line will be com
menced at sibley and as soon as
possible, Worthington will be reached.
Rock, Mobiles and jackson counties
are secured for line and by a con-.
nection at Worthington, ST. Paul. Min
ineapolis and Sioux Falls will be in
direct communication with Sibley:
Several car loads Of wire and dozens
Of car loads Of poles will soon arrive.
All Of this sudden activity in tele-i
phone construction has come about
through the expiration Of some valu-
able patents, which were owned by.
the Bell telephone company making
it possible for independent compan-
les to organize and do business at q
much less cost to the people.

IA MAD DOG SCARE.
The People of Larkin Township
Are: Badly Frightened.

The people of Larkin township are
enjoying the luxury Of a mad dog
scare. Some weeks ago Ole Brandt's
dog. showedssymptoms Of hydropho-
bia, and beforeit was killed bit a.
horse belonging to the Halvorsen
family and about twenty hogs be-
longing to Mr.. Brandt. The horse
and hogs died, BUTT is feared that
further damage has been done which
has not shown as yet. Through in
excusable carelessness the horse that
died from the effects of the bite was
not buried for some time, and it. is
now learned that several dogs ii the
ighborhood ate Of the carrion.
Whether or not the Diseased meat
will transmit the hydropho bia is q
question. The octors are not posi-
tive on this point, but more than or
dinary precautions should be taken
to prevent It's spread. Anyone know
ing Of "a dog tbathas eaten Of the dead
horse should chain the animal and
shoot it if any symptoms Of the ter
rible disease is manifested. No one
knows what might result if proper
precautions are not taken. The
Larhin township town board held q
special meeting Monday, and the
matter fully Investigated. If their
recommendations are carefully fol
lowed BY the people Of the town ship
there will likely be no further trouble

Cottonwood county built poorhouse
ssveral years ago contrary to the

pefs in the Cottonwood poorhouse in
1892 was 3; the average number in
1893 was 20; the average number for
1921 was Is; for 1895 it was 1.9.

Bishop Had Played Himself.

That pretty little story about the senator
from Tennessee paying for his luncheon
with poker chip and afterward putting
the joke on the secretary of the treasury is
eclipsed by a new yarn that Mr. Carlisle Is
telling his friends in Washington. In
Bishop Dudley's church, when the collec-
ton was taken up, one of the vestrymen
inadvertently dropped into the plate a
poker chip for silver dollar. Overcome
with modification, he hurried into the
bishops room after service and said
"Bishop, don't know how in the world
it happened, but do you know dropped a
poker chip into the plate? How it ever got
into my pocket 1 cannot imagine. Here Is
q half dollar. want to redeem 1t"
mot at that price, Brother Blank, " said
the bishop with smile. "1t is blue chip;
cost you just $3.50"
Brother Blank looked at him in surprise.
"But, bishop" he said, chow in the world
do you know a blue chip is worth Sl.5O?"
Remember, Brother Blank, l am the
bishop of Kentucky"
The vestryman paid the $3.50 and de-
parted.-New York Press
