A PULPIT OBJECT LESSON

time on their tongues to show the dam
ger of using tobacco. Again he killed
cats by dosing them with alcohol. This
was done during a temperance sermon,
and at the same time he exhibited the
picked stomach of man who had long
been filling drunkard's grave.
In speaking of killing cats by nico-
tine, DR.. Laufman says:
"My course of procedure was decided
upon because desired to bring to the
attention of my congregation the
truth of the harmfulness of tobacco,
which is so often demonstrated in our
laboratories. 1 had no notion of
springing sensa ton, and as my
church is always crowded it certainly
was no clap-trap scheme, as some have
charged, to draw a crowd to my church.
I believe in the scientific demonstration
of truth, and often use the laboratory
as we'll as my Bible to prove it.
"In the part of the lecture following
the cat-lilling experiment. discussed
the way that tobacco poisoning shows
itself, not by immediate death, but by
attacking the weakest organs of each
individual. In one man it induces con-
sumption, In another dyspepsia, in an
other paralysis, and substantiatedm my
remarks by medical testimony. Then
I showed the fact that the poison is
transmitted to posterity."
Rev. Mr.. Laufman is a native of Rich
mond, Ind, and is 80 years old. He was
graduated from De PAW university,
and has the titles of A. B., A. M. and L.
T. B. He has been in the ministry nine
years, and during the past winter made
$50 converts.

Luck was favorable to him and he
bagge6 several large frogs. One of
them was really monstrous, and Mr..
Ofdenkamp, being gallant as well as a
frst-rate sportsman, sat himself down
in the grass to prepare the frogs for
the supper of his better half.
"She's cleaned up the kitchen so nice
ly, and I don't want her to get them
ready and make a mess about the
place." thought he, and went to work
with his trusty pocketlnife. In dis
secting the largest of the frogs he
was almost frightened out of his wits
for a moment when he discovered in
the stomach of the amphibian a live
bird. 1t was sparrow, little worse
for wear and with bedraggled feathers,
but able to fly away with merry chirp.
So little time did the sparrow lose in
making his escape that Mr.. Ofdenkamp
missed him when he looked the Sec
ond time; but he will swear to it that
the inhaIbitant of Mr.. Frogs stomach
was a sparrow and nothing else.

The pretty little city of Belleville,
says the ST. Louis Republic, has been
the scene of sort of "Jonah and the

stir. The whale in this case was an un-

The discoverer of this curiosity was
Louis Ofdenkamp, of Belleville. Last
Sunday was beautiful autumn day.
The air was keen and bracing, and Mr..
Ofdenkamp decided to improve the OPP

Assessor Lutz has made a de-
cided change in the manner of
assessing some of the large bodies
of speculative land in Lincoln
county this year. Heretofore the
lands of Geo. S. Coe, 7. E. Hogg,
VIM. NJ Hoag and other large
land holders has been assessed at
flat rate per acre for all of it. 1t
las been put down as uncultivated
land and assessed at from so cents
to $I.5o per acre, regardless of
location or desirability. This year
the assessor has segregated these
lands and assessed them according
to their comparative values. For
instance large amount of valuable
tidelands have heretofore been as
sessed at the low price of $1.5o per
acre. Some of these lands would
bring $40 TO $50 per acre in the
market. They have been seggre-
gated this year and a fair valuation
put on them.
