POPULAR TRADITION.
A Missionary Who Was Sorry He Didn't
Give 1t Credence.

I
There was once an energetic and strong
minded missionary in the south seas who
took great deal of interest in the folklore
of the island where he dwelt. After years
of study he made up his mind for good
and all that there was not particle OF
fact in the legends processing to be his
toric which he had laboriously gathered.
In distrust at his own credulity, unwilling
to let people know what a fool no had
been, he tossed his whole collection into
the fire. Some days afterward there was
terrific hurricane. The islanders had
told him that once upon time long ago a
certain famous chieftain used to sit on
stone bench beneath tree which grew
close to the mission house. That bench
had disappeared, no one knew when or
how, but In the days Of heathendom they
used to place offerings to the spirit OF the
old chief near the spot where 1t had stood.
When the missionary sailed out on the
morning after the storm, the first object
he noticed was this tree overthrown, and
in the midst of its upturned roots hung
stone bench The reverend gentleman
Whiting was his name, if we remember
! rioht-stood in a maze. The legend was
| true, then Examination proved beyond a
! doubt that the bench had rested against
! the bole of the tree in some distant age,
! for there was no trace of an incision. The
wood had grown smoothly round and over
! it. So far as he could roughly compute,
| four centuries must have passed since 1t
stood outside the trunk For that time
( the islanders had preserved the memory OF
circumstance so triiling, for to question
that this was the bench they assigned to
their mythic hero would have been silly.
I And then the good man mourned bis
haste. He had destroyed the patient labor
| of years because he would not credit the
accounts of grave events given In all SO
robustness by members of his flock, and II
proved that they were trustworthy ever

A Statesman Who Was willing to Give
Up What He Had.

"There are those who say unkind things
OF the late Dan Voorhees,, remarked a
prominent Republican from the state of
Indiana, 'but whatever may be said IL Is
political and not personal, for the man
had one side to his nature that the whole
world could admire, and that part of it
which knew did admire and love as we'll
It was on this account that when he died
there were many who shed sincere and
sorrowful tears for his loss They did not
know him as q politician and a United
States senator, but as man and friend.
II remember an instance showing his
kindness and also showing one Of the rea-
sons why he was always poor. He had gone
down the railroad some 30 or 40 miles
from his home To defend case in court
which he had very little thought of get
ting any money for, though the litigant
had plenty of property. He won the case,
and, much to his surprise his client gave
him 800, which was also pleasant to have,
as he had loaned TO various applicants
nearly all the money he had brought from
home with him. He pocketed the hundred,
and, after paying his hotel bill, started to
walk leisurely to the train, due in half or
three quarters of an hour. On his way he
was overtaken by former friend, who
hurried after him to ask his legal advice,
free, of course, In the matter of staving off
mortgage on his $4,000 farm and saving
1t to his family. A hundred dollars would
set 1t forward year and give him that
much time to pull himself out, which he
was sure he could do. Voorhees, talked ten
minutes or more to the man, giving him
such advice as he thought was best, and
all at once he broke into hearty laugh.
What's the matter' asked the farmer,
almost indignant at such levity.
why still laughed Voorhees,. going
into the pocket where his roll of bills was

when I've got the very thing you need.
had clean forgotten all about 1t. Here's
what you want good deal more thar
legal advice. And, handing the farmer thu
800 fee, he hurried along to the railroad
station, where he borrowed money enough
to buy ticket home. Washington Star

heavy. He would, therefore. treat it
lightly, and only fine her $40. In de-

want liquor sold around there, but that
there was more being sold without a IL
