The Revival.

Mr.. Gladys, OF Cerrillos, preached to
good house last MI hit IN Trinity
His text was practically the entire
fourth chapter of The first Epistle of
John. The speaker was Wig orous in
his argument and appeals to his hear
ers whose interest he held to the close
He said in part, 1t is folly to try and
explain God and the road to heaveu
away. In fact more effort is given to
this sort of thing tnan to the achieve
ment of salvation. Many people will
work h lrder to take thu road TO hell
TIL to take the road to heaven. In
short there are men who will make al
effort TO go to hell WHARF, no effort al
all is required to go to h =aven. Truly
the wages of sin are death, but the
gift of God is eternal Ii e.
When God says repent or perish, it
is faith that makes US repent. Faith
brings ON nj pOtence to our assistance.
Every Christian ShOu d have three
things, faith, assurance and love
There is no Christian withou, faith
Every child of God is SO by faith. Who
sOever believes that jest Us is the Christ
il born of God. The very instant a
mau believes, in that in slant he is d
changed man. Justified by faith, we
have peace with God. The holy spiri,
briggs the witness that we are al peace
with God. Faith brings power to over
come sin. No true Christian is Living
in sin. There is Lo safe ground for
ma to. take VINO does NOT accept
the witness of the holy spirit. This IL
what enables a man to stan1 up ano
say, l know that my redeemer nveth
Take the JOY of salvation out of mans
heart and he is all shriveled up. Death
is sweet TO man who knows he is
right with God. So let your heart b,
fixed on God. Wnen man becomes
genuinely happy over the idea Of sal
walton, he has secured it. On that Coz
may make on our minds the impression,
the necessity and value OF divine love.

A Pilgrims Return.

Mr.. Bushong returned this mornin 9
via the T. Il T. from the Panhandle,
where he has been rusticating and en-
jOying himself for the last two weeks.
He started out, as per schedule, from
Colorado City across the country to
Piainview, 179 miles, and mace it in
three days. But on the return, Mr..
BuShOng found 1t was seventeen miles
shorter to strike Big Springs, and he
tried it. He did make lO2 miles the
first day; but then came grief and af-
fiction, trials a d tribulatiOnS. He
got mired in a slue that made him think
of the slue of despond tina: he read
of in Bunyan's Pilgrims Progress
when a KID, ana after revolving many
things in his mind as to how he should
get OUT CHANGED 10 see something that
looked like rope dangling near him.
MIR. BushOng laid hold of the same and
found it to be mules tail. He held
on like grim death to a pale darkie,
and was yanked out of the mud by the
excited animal along with his wheel.
Mr.. Bushong thanked the mule
kindly and tried to continue on the
turf. But he got about 400 punctures-
or less in three minutes from the
mosquit thorns. But with rare pre-
thorns cut of his tire, but cut them off
.'clOse to the hub with razor and
went on. The thorns staid in the
rubber and did not come out, so the
tires did not collapse. Mr.. Bushong
camped out in the brush over night,
and being short of matches, kindled a
fire by the light of his countenance,
and by rubbing two sticks together
till the flame came. He shot several
cotton tail ra BIB is, skinned the same
witn the deftness Of chef and broilei
the flesh. Unfortunately he had no
butter. The skunks aud prairis dogs
stole it all the first night. Mr.. Bush
ong got out of water. But as the dew
fell copiously by night, he shook mois-
ure out of the 9reasewood into his hat
and poured it into his canteen until it
was full.
Mr.. Bushong has photographed all
of his prairie experiences-in mis- mind,
and Will reproduce the same through
The camera for the delectation of his
many friends. He reached b Springs

INTO A CISTERN.
Barnum's Fat Woman Made the De-
scent. But Failed to Get Damages.

New York, June 17.-Just how much
weight the covering Of a cistern should
be abe TO support is a question which
q Long Island City jury failed TO de-
termine Yesterday. 1t did decide, how
ever. that 4O2 pounds is beyond rea-
so7able limit. and that is why Mrs.
Hannah E. Mckenzie, who admits to
so much. lost her suit for damages
against John Deischer.
As "Barnum's Fat Woman" Mrs.
Mckenzie has travelled the world over,
reaping fame and fortune, and shaking
the jeweled hands of royalty in many
foreign countries. Becoming weary OF
the handshaking business, and blase in
the matter of the fame, Mrs. Mckenzie
took her fortune TO the peaceful town
of Jamaica. where, being minded TO
rest for a few years. she leased a house
of Mr.. Deischer. Behind the house was
an old cistern, boarded over, of which
no mention was made in the lease.
Daily Mrs. Mckenzie walked over
these boards and they didn't even creak
in protest. but one day they threw up
the contract. and the lady of the house
disappeared from the face Of creation
with a mighty splash. The cistern
wasn't very deep, but Mrs. Mckenzie
displaced so much water that she was
very near drowning. However, she
kept her face above the surface and
screamed vociferously. In the course
of time the next door neighbor heard
the screams. investigated, and fled for
help. spreading an alarming report that
the earth's crust had proved inadequate
to its job and let Mrs. Mckenzie
through.

Men with ropes and bars repaired to

eering. was restored to mother earth,
but the shock was so great that she
took to her bed. and tested the capac-
ity of that sturdy piece of architecture
by staying there for a fortnight. When
she felt better she sued Mr.. DeiScher
for $4,000, alleging that she was in
capacitated from practicing her profess
sion as fat woman by reason of the i'm
pairing of her powers Of locomotion.
She also had lost flesh through the
shock and consequent illness.
The defense asserted that the cistern
cover was not built to support railroad
trains. elephants or 40O-pound ladies,
and the jury. agreeing with this view,
rendered a verdict for the defendant.
