This is how Bluffkins was at last the
victim: His wife was standing In the
door of the parlor and there was look
about the woman's eye which indicated
that she had asked her husband for the
last time to do what she wanted. 1t
was not an angry look. 1t was merely
anexpression which showed that ordin-
ary means had failed and she must try
finesse. Bluffkins, who was sitting in
the easy chair, looked over the top of
his paper Ms she stood there.
I'm going after that loaf of bread
you spoke of in few minutes now," he
said, apologetically.
I'm not going to make any more re-
guests" she answered.
But he did not hear her. His face
was again buried in the newspaper.
Presently she came rushing up the
stairs and exclaimed:
One of the neighbors saw a patrol
wagon go up the street at gallop and
turn the corner toward the grocery.
There must have been fight or some
thing"
Without n word Bluffkins grabbed
his hat, and in an instant was going
down the street at q rate which made
two baby carriages turn out for fear of
a collision. AS his wife gazed after
him, she saw him going around the cor
ner so fast that the centrifugal force
threw him over on one side.
In five or ten minutes he came back.
He handed her bundle and reached
for his paper. Here's that bread. As
long rs | was so near the grocery l
thought I would get 1t and stop your
fretting. But didn't see any disturb.
ance."
"Are you talking about the patrol
wagon and the crowd" she asked limo,
Gently.
'Of course I am"
why, that all happened day before
yesterday But I'm ever SO glad you got
the bread, dear."-Boston Budget.

Saved by an Unspoken Sermon.

How sermon did good. though 1t
was not preached, is told by the Balti-
more Herald. The sermon was written
by the Rev. D. B. Greigg, and the SUBJ
ject Of 1.-THE "Unemployed Masses
was announced in the usual course in
the Saturday papers. One Of the pa
pers sent a reporter to Mr.. Greigg's
house and secured copy-or, perhaps,
an abstract-of the sermon, and put it
In type for the Monday issue.
At that time evangelistic services
were being conducted throughout the
city, and the committee in charge of
them sent several speakers to address
Mr.. Greigg's Sunday evening congrega-
ton. He at once gave way to the evan
gelists and the sermon he had prepar-
ed was NOT preached. but was laid aside
for another occasion. The next morn
ing, however, the daily papers contain
ed long report Of the sermon, which
was as yet undelivered.
On that particular Monday morning
there was in Baltimore homeless and
pennileSs young Scotchman. Every hour
his prospects had seemed to grow dark
er, and finally desperation crushed out
what little hope had been left in his
heart. He determined on suicide.
With his last few pennies he purcbas-
ed poison enough to end all, and was
leaving the drug store when his eyes
fell on newspaper. Probably the
planoa uo,,Id b,vo hnor hut a paSS;pp
one if he had not noticed the headline,
ITO the Unemployed Masses" This
phrase struck responsive chord and
he read the abstract of Mr.. Gerigg's
discourse.
Then it occurred to Linn that a minis
ter who preached such a sermon might
be interested in his case. The better
man in him rose and he made up his
mind to search out the preacher, if only
as a last resort.
Securing Mr.. Greigg's address, he
went to the house and was received
with a heartiness that changed des-
pcration into hope. The preacher him.
self was Scotchman and listened with
interest to the discouraged mans story.
What WAS more, he promised help. He
communicated with the Scotch socie-
ties of the city and many hands were
extended to the young stranger in dis
treSs. He was given temporary aid and
finally a position which he is now
worthily filling.
And this was the result Of sermon
never preached.

The brain and the heart are, ordinar-

decaying influences of the wear and
tear of long life. 1t is for this reason
that we SO frequently see men and
women who have won fame by their
mental attainments continuing in har-
ness long after their bodies generally,
are subject to infirmities. The expla-.
nation lies in the fact that the nutrition

DEER WANTED IN CONNECTICUT.
Hunters Petition for Approprlatiea
with which to Stock Preserves.

Hunters Petition for Appropriated
with which to Stock Preserves.
Connecticut hunters are making an
effort to introduce more wild deer into
the stote. A petition has been sent to
the state game warden asking for an
appropriation of ot least $4,000 for the
purpose of securing deer and stocking
preserves in various parts of the state,
reports the New York Sun. Connecti-
cut has hundreds of acres of wild coun-
try which is continually growing
wilder, owing to the tendency of the
people to desert the farms and give up
agriculture for manufactures and city
life, and for miles in some parts of the
state not mouse is to be seen. The
country is too barren for agriculture,
not even sheep raisiug being conducted
with profit in some parts of it, but
the scrubs are just what the deer re-
1uire for rsustenance through the winter.
There are now about dozen wild deer
In the state, and their owners believe
that they exist under ideal conditions
there.
The Connecticut climate is much
more favorable tothe animals than that
Of Maine, Vermont or New Hampshire,
ard in those three states the deer are
met nearly everywhere in the uninhab-
tied portions. The recent movement
to preserve wild deer In Long Island
has been success. Bay lynxes. which
in most newspaper reports are called
''wildcats." in common with the genu-
inc wildcats, are sometimes met with in
Sussex and Passaic counties, and 50
are mink and weose1s.
Bears sometimes get into the north
western part of Sussex county.
