The Preacher aud the Fiddle.

Anent the report that st. Paul
preacher, while assisting at the recent
Sioux City Bible Institute, prayed
that 1.-THE Lord would bless all the
services except the fiddling," the
Centeryille Chronicle and Inde1, now un-
der Scotch direction, tells the follow.
ing story:
This to a certain extent reminds US
of an incident which happened near our
old home, only in this case the minister
was the culprit.
1t was noised around through the
parish that the new minister, Mr..
Thompson, fiddled and the worthy cid.
ers Of the church deemed it right that
the matter should be Investigated.
A quiet meeting having been called,
Sandy johnson and Willie Dau were
appointed as a committee to look into
the matter and report at meeting
called for the next night. Meantime q
particular friend Of the young pastor
had informed him. so he was prepared
for their visit. The two elders arriy-
ed at the manse, were very kindly in
vited by the minister into his study,
and we'll entertained with stories Of
his college days. Mrs. Thompson APP
pearing at this time invited the two
elders into tea, two sisters of Mrs.
Thompson being also present. After
tea music being proposed Mrs. Thomp-
son presided at the piano and favored
the company with some of those old
sacred tunes so dear to the heart of the
Scot. In the meantime the minister
had quietly gone after his cello and to
the establishment of the elders they
heard deep bass voice joining in the
songs. It was the Fid. Gradually the
music changed from sacred to secular
until Sandy and Willie's feet were
keeping step in elegant style. Finally
the reel of Tullochgorum was played.
This was too much for the elders and
they were on the floor in an instant,
each with his lady tripping the light
fantastic to his hearts content.
On departing the two elders were
invited to come and spend another
evening. On their way home Sandy
turning round to Willie said:
Mon. Sandy, whit twa auld fules

following letter, postmarked at Hor-
nick on Saturday, was received by the
postmaster here. with the request to
hand to the owner of the stolen team:
SIR: The horse and buggy which
was taken in your town on Thursday
night was left three miles above Ak.
ron, on the Sioux river. Harness
hanging on q tree high where nothing
can chew them. | was drunk when
took the team and IL COW scares me SO
that l don't know what to do.
Truly Yours,
A SLAVE TO DRINK"
After search OF two and half days
the buggy was found on the Iowa side
Of the river, near the Chatsworth
bridge, but the harness could not be
located. John Stowe claims to have
seen the man when he united the horse
and drove away, and also says he saw
the same men here the following day.
The handwriting in the above letter
indicates that the writer is q man OF
considerable education. From the
meager description obtained Of the
thief the chances for his capture are
not considered very good, but in the
interests Of law and humanity he should
be apprehended and placed in q posi-.
ton where drink could no longer be
his master.
