OF the chancel screen quite close to the

preached the louder did the robin sing.

STORIES ABOUT BILL NYE.
His Cyclone Experience and the Man Who
Wouldn't Go On His Bond.

His Cyclone Experience and the Man Who
wouldn't Go On His Bond.
Colonel Will Visscher tells the following
ancedote of Nye:
He had a way of saying, in private con-
versation, the most humorous things, but
acute appreciation would wonder at his
earnestness on trivial subjects. Once
when a cyclone caught him and fondled
him in its funnel, danced him high In air,
swept the earth with him and finally, in
playful mood, deposited him on the ground
with broken leg he wrote me- letter, re-
sponsive to one OF jest as to his experience:
IF ever have any influence in the New
Jerusalem, you shall some day have nice
new harp that has never been played on
and as pretty a ~ crown as there is on
the evergreen shore"
Then, after abiding to his accident he
says:
MY leg is growing together all right,
and the doctors say they Will shortly turn
me loose on the community again. I have
had long, hard siege, and it seems tough
at times, but l never kick-I don't dare.
Many have asked how this thing hap
pened. I cannot state definitely, but I
think must have stepped on a peel of
thunder. People cannot be too careful
when peeling their thunder about leaving
the peels around where innocent and I'M
suspecting persons may step on them.''
When Bill Nye was elected justice of the
peace in Laramie City, he went to a shoe
dealer named Kipp to get that man of
means to go on his official bond. Nye had
long been Kipp's good customer, and he
had some right to expect such neighborly
concession.
Kipp begged off, however, with many
protestations. He declared that nothing
would delight him more than to go on
Judge Nye's official bond, but some years
before ne had promised his mother, now
dead and gone, that he would never go on
any ones bond.
This, of course, was sufficient for Nye,
and he excused Mr.. Kipp cheerfully, say
ing there would be no trouble whatever
about filling mp the bond, and SO they
parted quite pleasantly. Shortly aftor-
ward, when one day case came up before
Nye's court in which Kipp was surety on
the bond of one of the parties, Nye sud-
denly adjourned court and proceeded as
swiftly as his long legs could bear him
with any degree of dignity to the mercan-
tile establishment of Mr.. Kipp and de-
manded that his BILL then current, should
be produced at once.
Mr.. Kipp saw that Nye's choler was up,
and he was alarmed, for he did not like to
lose so good customer.
"Vy ees dis, shudgef" inquired Kipp.
"De pill wasn't due, unit, oof it vas, dere
vas no hurry of it,
Nye insisted upon paying, however, and
then he explained:
at doesn't make any difference to me,
Mr.. Kipp, that you refused to go on my
bond and that I have discovered your
name on the bond of another, but 1 don't
want anything to do with man who goes
back on his poor dead mother as you have
done. There's where I draw the line, and
business between you and me must forever
cease. ''-Chicago Times Herald.
