Rev. D. B. Ackley is evidently a man
of great faith. Two weeks ago last Sun
day night he commenced extra meetings
here with the avowed intention Of having
a great religious revival. Forty converts
is the number that he has decided upon,
and as the altar vas too short for that
many mourners he had it built longer
last Saturday, so as to accommodate the
expected forty. Only seven or eight have
appeared thus far during the meetings,
but the minister is in nc way d~isoourag-
ed and expects to bring in the number
that he has fixed upon, if it takes all
winter. If bis faith holds mi he'll do it,
too, for no u has ever exhau sted the
possibilities of earnest, u%nyielding faith
Tom Taylor is an ardent sportsman
and usually has good luck, but not
always. While cunning one day last
week he had some experience that brings
a look of sorrow upon his face yet, when
he is reminded of It. Failing to shoot
any rabbits himself-his mouth watering
for pot pie all the time-he CHANGED to
meet a stranger with a plump rabbit in
his game bag. This caused Toms
mouth to water still more, and being
fertile in ~expedients, he st~raightway
accused the fortunate gunner of having
shot the rabbit ahead of his (Tom's) dog
OF course the stranger didn't know that
Toms dog is a Great Dane and won't
run anything but Henry Mullica's COW,
so he apologized and handed the game
over at once. Carefully depositing it in
his game bag, Tom went on triumph
antly while delightful visions of fried
rabbit, baked rabbit, stewed rabbit and
sweet potatoes-not to speak of rabbit
pot pie with plenty of crust in it, fitted
en%trancingly before his mental eye. After
proceeding joyfully in this manner
through the woods for an hour or two, he
felt in his game bag to ascertain if his
prize was safe, and found to his dismay
that it had dropped out through a hoe
in the bag. Excitedly throwing his hat
and gun to the ground he started back to
hunt it. The ground was covered witt
leaves, the uuderbrush was thick and
b~ewildering and the upshot of the whole
matter was Tom not only failed to find
the rabbit, but was unable to go back to
his hat and gun. and finally got lost hii
self. Henry Master came along anC
fouad the hat, gun and man, but the rab.
bit is lost yet. Tom has since had the
