WATER THAT EXPLODED.
4 Bsrtender's Experience Under Fire Of
Fuaillade Of 0eltser.

4 Bsrtsnder's Experisnce Under Fire OF .
fusillade Of Seltser.
do you know" said Billy Clark, Of
the Grand hotel, to a Cincinnati Times
Star reporter, as q big seltzer bottle
fixed and two or three men on the out
side elevated a foot each on the railing
and looked on, ''that these settler
water bottles will explode easily ?"
And the three men each put foot down
on the floor and moved slightly away.
Sometimes just the temperature of the
hand will do it, the warm hand, placed
against it while bringing it from a cold
room, or sometimes while lifting it one
will strike it against the counter and 1T
will explode and the metal top will be
driven with great force by the gas.
One time, while at the Gibson, 1 refused
to give man a drink. He took it very
much to heart and went away vowing
he would get even with me. 1 had
turned about as he went out and had
my back to him. Suddenly there came
sound like a pistol shot. tried to
turn around and couldn't, and I was
sure the man had carried his threat
into effect and had shot me. Directly
following that explosion came another
and another, and there was a rapid sue
cession of explosions. Then I knew
the man had opened a regular fusillade
on me, and yet was riveted to the spot.
I could not stir. thought I had been
paralyzed by q bullet. Come to find out.
one of these settler water bottles in the
far end Of the counter had exploded
and the conclusion had started the
Others, until all had exploded that were
ON that shelf. And the man had gone
away and I never saw him again. But
I never will forget my experience Of
that night. when I was sure I had been
shot"

THE ROOT or EVIL.
Fable of the Farmer and His New-Found
Riches.


Riches.
One day, states the Detroit Free
Press, q farmer, who lived for years in
peace and quietness and was WELL
spoken of by all who knew him, found
pot of gold as he was digging in a
field. In great rejoicing he carried the
treasure to his house and told his wife
the news, and in a day his good luck
was known to 100 people. His wife
promptly decided to buy a piano and
have a new house, and when the old
man didn't think much of this scheme
she upbraided him for his selfishness,
and went about in the sulks. His three
sons suddenly decided that they would
blossom out as Jim-dandies and work
no more, and his two daughters howled
for diamonds and silks. A deacon
called and wanted him to give $500 to
the African heather; he was asked to
establish foundlings' home; his
mother-in-law demandeda brick house
and new carpets and bis ten sisters and
brothers arrived and wanted the spon-
dulix to make trip to Europe. Neigh.
bors who had loved him now referred
to him as a stingy old varmint, and
men who had asked him to be candi-
date for town supervisor sent him word
that they'd snow him under if ever he
ran for office. In fortnight he found
himself without friends and mixed up
in a score of broils, and, taking the
gold to the river, he dumped it in ard
exclaimed:
'That over which l rejoiced has
/ brought me only sorrow, and durn my
pictur' if want any more of it'll"
Moral-Riches do not bring happi.
ness. but he ought to have licked the
| whole crowd and invested that money
| in four per cents.

with evergreens and holly berries, while
in one corner was a screen with an IL
Illuminated star While near it stood a
Christmas tree, garnished with stream
erS and ornaments, while gifts for the
pupils were hung among its branches.
The cantata was made up of choruses
by the smaller children, and recitations
and tableaux by the older ones, repre-
senting the various countries in the
several grand divisions, and telling of
the customs observed at the Christmas
time in the countries they represented.
Four children represented China, Japan,
India and Turkey. and also sang a song
entitled, Brothers and Sisters in
Brown" Africa was represented by
Laura Bruce, in a recitation, "One
Beam Of the Glorious Christmas Star"
A recitation about Germany opened the
representation of Europe, followed by a
duet by two little girls representing
Norway and Sweden, a recitation about
Austria, Christmas carol about Eng
land and a recitation concerning Po-
land.
Then came the Islands of the Sea,
represented by recitations and a song,
cover the Sea- The cantata conclud-
ed with a representation of America by
six girls with red, white and blue
scarfs, which were braided into one
strand, accompanied by music and rec
itations.
Chauncey H. Dunn then made brief
remarks, urging those present to lend
their cooperation in building up the
Sunday-school, after which the pres
ents were distributed to the children
from the tree.
