''You have got to get well enough

alone" he responded, sull1ily.
II think you have done very nicely.
Tt does me good to think about how the
man who put you in nomination stood
up before the crowd and told all the
delegates and newspaper men how good
and grand and noble you are. / think
that it's by far the best plan to let

all by saying disagreeable. things about
you, as they certainly would do if you

The Burglar Was a Woman.

Robert Powell Of Rushville, Ind, was
awakened Saturday night by the sound
of footsteps on the tin roofing covering
his porch and he saw the figure ~
man evidently trying to raise window.
Mr.. Powell gave chase and captured the
intruder some distance away, but not
until after a fierce resistance, followed
by the startling discovery that his cap
tive was q woman dressed in male
clothing. The woman begged piteously
for release, but she stubbornly refused
to give her name, saying to Mr.. Powell
that she would be everlastingly ruined
and that she had been driven to attempt
robbery by want. Her tears and en-
treaties prevailed and Mr.. Powell suf-
fered her to go.

refused to let her go. The aged visitor
remained with them until six months

matter to support his family. Then she
told him she would not contiue to be a
burden on them, and insisted on going
to the poorhouse at Flatbush, where
she remained until few weeks ago,
when she returned. She had gone away
comparatively pauper, but returned
worth 100000, which she has turned

Muncle Qnd) special: Vernon &.
Richmond, 19-year-old boy has caused
considerable excitement within the last
few days by going into trance at least
twice every day, and after recovering
would tell of the strange sights he had
seen. Rev. Coons commenced revival
services at the Methodist Episcopal
Church few weeks ago, and Richmond
has been constant attendant. He was
converted, and last Tuesday went into
trance and remained in that condi-
ton twenty-five hours. His body was
cold and rigid, with the exception of his
arms. His eyes remained open, and
shone like those of maniac. After re-
covering from this trance he had moth
ing to say, only that he was conscious
Of everything that was transporting
around him. He says that he has gazed
into heaven, and that he saw a beau
tiful scene. He described heaven as
one large room filled with angels, all
of whom wore crowns. He says Jesus
was seated in the center of the room on
throne, and also wore a crown and
was surrounded by shining stars. He
says that among the angels he noticed
a number of his deceased relatives,
among them being two of his sisters
and an aunt. They clapped their hands
and sang when they saw him.

Barber shop in n Pulpit.

Rev. II. H. Ford, pastor Of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church at st. Louis,
Mich, preached Sunday morning to the
BARRIERS of the city. His text was Eze-
kiel, ", /, "A Barber's Razor" At the
right of the pulpit was BARRIERS chair,
towels, two mirrors and the parapher-
MALTA usually seen in a well-equipped
shop. Mr.. Ford gave brief history OF
the profession and its long existence,
after which he compared the various
paraphernalia to different phases in
human life, combining the worldly with
the spiritual. The chair he represented
as determination; the mirror, the
bible, the study of which should create
q light shears, truth, how, after a
strong application of the truth, false
ideas would vanish.

Hog Swallows a Watch.

IF. Patterson, farmer living west
of Fort Dodge, Iowa, is minus gold
watch, valuable family heirloom,
through q strange mishap. He was out
in the hog yard, when he happened to
drop the timepiece. The glitter of the
gold caught the watchful eyes of the
porkers and they made a unanimous
rush for the watch. When Mr.. Patter-
son succeeded in driving them away the
watch was gone, and it is quite evident
that one of the animals swallowed it,.
AS there were nearly fifty hogs in the
Enclosure it would hardly pay to kill
them to secure the timepiece, and that
is the only way to secure it.

DOG Brought His Pardon.

The last day of his term Of office
Governor Brown Of Kentucky pardoned
O. G. Garden of Louisville, who was
sentenced two years to serve term or
eight years for maIslaughter. For some
time Garden had been employed as a
"trusty" at the executive mansion,
doing chores and running errands. The
governors dog fine-looking specimen
of the shepherd breed, is family pet,
and is unusually intelligent. 1t was
part of Gardens duty TO look after the
animal, and they came TO be fast
friends. When the prison doors were
opened in the morning the collie was
there to greet his convict friend and ac-
company him to the mansion. At night
lie returned with his striped playmate
TO the grim portals. When the pardon
was made out last Tuesday the paper
was enclosed in stout envelope and
given to the animal, which was told to
go to the penitentiary. With wag
of its tail it left the mansion and ran
down the old accustomed route to the
prison. A telephone message appraised
the guards of his coming, and he was
admitted without delay. Garden was in
the yard patiently awaiting the arrival
OF the governors messenger, never
dreaming that the dog had been select
ed. Catching sight of the well-known
face, the dog ran up to the convict and
laid the envelope at his feet. The glad
cry of happy surprise that the overjoyed
prisoner gave vent to on catching up
the official envelope and tearing it open
was re-echoed by a succession of joyous
barks from the four-footed harbinger or
the good tidings. A moment later man
and dog were running at full speed to-
ward the governors Office to turn the
release over to the warden. The scene
was witnessed by fifty or more convicts,
who quickly realized the good fortune
that had come to their fellow prisoner.
Removing their caps they gave three
cheers for the lucky fellow.-Ex.

Revival in Prison.

Warden Harley, Of the Indiana state
prison, tells of a remarkable religious
revival in progress in the penitentiary.
Since the wave of religious excitement
struck the prison more than 100 Of the
most hardened convicts have professed
conversion. A Christian Endeavor So
ciety, with 200 members, has been or
ganized within the prison walls. The
warden says the convicts who are at
the head of the society are wondering
If the society will be entitled to dele
gates in the next national convention OF
the Young Peoples Society of Christian
Endeavor. Various religious forms have
been introduced in the prison. Those
convicts whose consciences tell them
they ought to be baptized are taken to
the bath room, where, with solemn GER
emony, they are baptized in bath tub.
The warden says there has been great
improvement in the conduct Of the 900
convicts since the religious wave took
hold on the prison. He is encouraging
