If one of the players should in the last hand
make enough points to count him out the

casino and an ace he could not claim the
game before the hand WAS played out Tor the
reason that in counting cards and spades take
precedence.

Miss Nebbie Williams, a young lady
of Is summers, while attending a re-
vival a few nights ago at a suburban
church, Knoxville, Tenn, became en-.
tranced, and remained so for three
days and nights, much to the alarm of
friends and relatives. On recovering
her senses she told a most remarkable
story, which has somewhat alarmed
the community. She said that she
first woke up standing on the brink of
hell, Of which she gives a complete
description. She was then taken to
heaven where she met the Savior and
conversed with Him at length. The
girl is Of sound mind and respectable
family, and Is no doubt honest in her
statements, and says it was no dream
The Pascagoula democrat-star. (Pascagoula, Miss.) 1878-1920, 1896-05-15

Joining the church or some secret
organization will not give character
to a man, as some men seem inclined
to think. The church is only Il foun-
dation laid to build character on.
There is just as much philosophical
reasoning in a man laying Il fOunda-
ton for building a house, and without
further efforts leaving the house to
build itself, as there is in the man
who joins the church or secret order
expecting that either will give him
character. People are not judged by
their profession of faith, but by the
kind of lives they lead before their
fellOw-men.-BOlton News.
Every community has just such
people as Is described above. Scranton
has its share, we are sorry to say, and
they are Il menace to the progress of
Christianity. II the churches would
lOp off such characters there would be
less skepticism and religion would re-
ceive greater respect, and ministers of
the Gospel would do more good in
their calling.
