Corner Loaflng.

We have repeatedly called atten-
ton to the loafers that congregate
on the corners of our streets, and
again we call the attention of the
police to this nuisance. Ladies in
form us that they can hardly ever
pass these crowds unless their faces
are made to burn at some low re-
mark coming from some one in
these crowds. The police should
compel crowds to disperse and
move on. 1t don't look well, even
if these fellows were not rough in
their manner and vulgar in their
ways, when ladies pass them. We
hope we will not have to refer to
this matter of corner loafing again.
Another practice our boys and
young men have gotten into, is
wrestling and scuffiing on the
streets. This should also be abated,
for it is an almost intolerable nui-
sance, and where would such con
duct be permitted but in Point

Long Services.

A religious service, for the wor-
ship of God, forty or fifty minutes
i'll length, with n sermon added of
twenty or thirty minutes, is some
times characterized by Christian
people as too long" Popular
ideas, public opinion" often sane
ton the remark. Indeed, clerical
opinions favorable to the idea are
not wanting. But whoever seri-
ously thinks of what is meant and
involved by the remark cannot but
admit that for Christian lips to
utter such a complaint is degrad-
ing shame! Think of it: thous-
ands of men and women can sit for
three or four hours listening to and
gazing upon plays that are sense
less and silly, or worse, and yet a
real or nominal Christian will think
and hour, or an houra quarter,
too long to engage in the honoring
and worshipping of God! Three or
four hours devoted, with intense de-
light, to gratifying the senses; but
little while "too long" for the
soul to seek to honor the Almighty!

The Liar We Hate.

The liar whom the editor hates
worst of all is the man who, when
dunned for years. subscription
says he only received two or three
copies during the year and refuses
to pay Clarksville Graphic.
Next to, if not above this one,
the editor hates the liar who takes
the paper seven OF eight years, and
when finally cornered for settle
ment says he never ordered the pa
per at all.-Pike County Post.
But the worst liar of the whole
outfit is the man who takes the pa
per several years, then moves away
without paying or saying anything
about it and yet says he is an hon
est man. Elsberry Advance.

Wrong one and all. The prevar-
icator who puts to shame the claims
of all followers of Munchausen as
being the greatest liar on earth is
the man who says the paper is no
good and that's the reason he will
not take it, and then borrows OF
steals it from his neighbor and
after reading every word in it sends
it to his son who has moved to
another town. This stingy and
meanest liar on top of ground
writes to his son but once year
and gives as an excuse the only
truthful thing he had ever said
that, 'its no use to write as the pa
per contains all the news" But
he won't subscribe for it, oh! no,
he prefers to beg or steal it.

Louisville Courler-Journal.
In pleasant, social little Ken
lucky town, not long ago, new
minister arrived. Fervent in his
mission against the world, the flesh
and the evil one, and not duly con
sidering the points of his compass,
he delivered from his pulpit the
first Sunday trade against card
playing. On Monday the wealth.
lest member of his flock called on
him and said:
ooh, dear Brother Parker, your
sermon was very unwise. You
will offend half your people if you
talk against cards. We are just n
little quiet community all by our
selves here, and we play cards
whenever we want to. Don't say
anything more about card play
ing"
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 sec
sions in the State. You are be-
side yourself when you try to put
down horse racing"
"Well," said the respondent
preacher, eff you say SO I'll have
to let these evilsalone Next Sun
day 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
congregation"
