A Kentucky Humorist.

The late w. A. Conchman of Clark
County, KY, was the perpetrator of an
extraordinary practical joke. Returning
from hunting trip one evening he was
attracted TO country church where re-
vival was in progress. After watching
the services for awhile he climbed up on
the roof to get better view through the
hole where a stove-pip was meant to go.
In the excitement of the evening one OF
the congregation shouted out: Gabriel,
blow your horn! I'm ready to go!' The
temptation was foo great for Councilman
and, putting his horn to his lips. he blew
blast through the f1ue- hole, and stam-
peded the congregation to man. Tne
Grand Jury discussed the propriety OF in
dieting the sacrilegious hunter. but no
proceedings were taken against him.
