LIEe,s BRIEF SPAN.
A Tortoise In London Geological Gardens
the Oldest Thing Alive.


The statement by southern Kansa,
paper that negro resides in Bourbon
county who has attained the age of l2f
years recalls n recent statement by the
London Spectator that the oldest living
creature in the world occupies a place in
the London Geological garden. II is
giant tortoise weighing more than ton
and has record going back 100 years.
How much longer it has lived no ono
knows. Commenting on the long liio
lived by this tortoise and by others, Tho
Spectator gives us the following interest
ing dissertation:
"The structure of the tortoiscs contrib
utcs a large share TO their pr-cminenco in
length of life Their bodies are spared tho
whole Of that exhausting process OF col
lapse and expansion which we call breath
ing. The cruel wear and tear Of this in
cessaHt motion, involving work of lungs,
muscles, ribs and air passages, unnoticed
in health but one Of the most distressing
facts revealed by illness does not fall on
the happy tortoise, His she'll, backplato
and brenstplato alike, is as rigid as a piece
OF concrete lie sucks in air by making u
vacuum with his tongue and swallows it
like water, the reservoir instead of a stom-
ach being his capaciuus lungs, in addi-
tion TO this enormous saving of energy
tho tortoise enjoys two other structural
advantages lie has no teeth to decay,
break, get out Of order and ultimately
starye him to death, like those OF an old
horse or broken toothod rabbit Instead
he has sharp horny edges TO his mouth,
which do not break or get out Of order.
And, lastly, there is his impcnetrnblc shell.
In reference to this, size Is 81 real adyan.
tage, for, though the snmll tortoise may
live for centuries in bishops gardens, they
have their enemies in the outer world

After the Gate Money.


'Salvation's free says Web. Let
the people-one and all-come up to
the founting filled with blood, and rest
under the shade of the trees, and every
body chip in and swell the gate money!
Now, in the mainline, the people
had went wild over the new preacher.
Web had jest simply put the Devils
Quarter Section in q sack and sewed it
up at both ends. If he didn't see what
he wanted all he had to do was to ask
for it. Durin the day he give it out
Broadcast that they would hold a meetin
that night and take up collections for
the new church. He was anonymously
nominated as a committee to wait up
on the crowd and look after the gate
money.
"Now then, Rufus, from all | have
saw and heard tell Of, they had another
tremendous outpourin at the meetin
that night Old Parson Weston led off
with a sermont-which he took his text
from along there where the Scripture
says the Lord loveth cheerful glver.
At the close of the sermont they sung
another song, whilst Web Gardner took
Deacon Stickney's old stovepipe hat and
passed it around for the gate money.
"Any man that wouldn't chip in a
little somethin to help us build new
church right her in the Devils Quarter
Section is mean enough to stab tho
sheeted dead says Web, in loud voice,
and fool enough to bet his money on a
pair of deuces.'
d" Blest be he that binds
Our hearts in Christian love"
"'And any woman person that
wouldn't do what she can to help the
glorious cause amt bit too good to
curl her bangs with the devils toenails,
or wear her old mothers shroud to a
breakdown dance.
How beauteous are their feet
Who stand on lions hill.
Everybody can eat of the bread and
drink of the waters free gratis for
nothin at all. Then let everybody chip
in and swell the gate money.
" Amazin' grace, how sweet the sound
Which saved wretch like me-"
"'Now is the onlyest and excepted
time. Seek and you shall find. Give
and it shall be returned back unto you.
Cast your bread upon the waters, and
swell the gate money. Git on the band
wagon and witness the whC.e entire
performance.

The Committee "AbscntuIates."

"Well, white people, the gate money
didn't fail nor r,fuse to swell. The
men folks went down into their TANKS,
the sisters went through their thanky
bags, and the ralSins and scrapins and
savins of many years was poured out
there to build a new and free-for-all
church in the Devils Quarter Section.
I'll be bound some of them good old
sisters forever parted company that
night with money which they had sold
eggs and got 30 and 40years ago. They
tell me when the meetin broke up they
had raised way up elost to S60-which
they placed the money with Web Gard
ner as a committee of one on the new
church and told him to proceed with
the proceedins.
"But then next day when the general
roll was called the committee on the
new church didn't make any reports
TO speak of. In fact, Rufus, the COM
mittee, gate money and all, come up
missin. Web Gardner had shook the
sands outen his Sunday shoes and alb
scatulated. Old Parson Weston took two
deacons and one elder and come up to
see about (which he lowed they
would then let the law take her course.
But bless gracious the committee was
absent from home and not accounted
for. Likewise also the gate money.
"When they went back and told the
news, oncst more the virgin air turned
red and blue in spots and patches as
big as a bed quilt.
"No, so fur as l can hear, the COM
mittee never has reported back with
the gate money. If Web Gardner is
dead there amt no serious doubts as to
where you could go and find him. But
if he is still amongst the livin there
amt no tellin where.
"And in the main time, Rufus, a
high wind come along and blowed the
big bresh arbor dUwn--the people
can't hold forth in the church they
never built-and l reckon the old
Devil has stin got the deeds and title
ments to bis famous Quarter Section
down there in the forks Of Murder
Creek" RUFUS SANDERS

ruther not say for certain, kindly ex.
pect when the Old Boy saw Web Gard
ner at the bresh arbor meetin that day
he went and picked him out warm
settin down place and laughed till his
rusty sides hurt.
But at any rate, Web hadn't went
down there for the sake of his general
health, or to improve his mind He
went down under the water and got
his name on the church books thata
very day. That night he led in the
prayer meetin, and made short but
feelin talk to the sinners. Next morn
in he took leadin part in the singin,
and made few more scatterin remarks
about the sinfulness of sin, and where
the wicked would stand on that last
and orful day.
''That night old Parson Weston give
it out that Brother Gardner felt like he
was called and expressed to preach the
Word, and let his light shine out upon
the lost and ruint world. So Web he
preached that very night. They tell
iiiC ilC IiNaNll1N Il dlC SOOti otl
which | don't doubt that from the
fact that Web Gardner has got sense
enough to do most anything he turns
his hand to. Then for two days and
nights Web helt forth at the bresh
arbor meetin, and from what they tell
me, there was a great outpourin and a
mighty rattlin in the valley of dry
bones.
"Then all of student Web took up a
notion that they must light in at oncst
and build a new church right there on
the holy grounds where the bresh ar
Dor stood. 1t must be wide-open, free
for-all church-whieh, you understand,
the bresh arbor meetin was helt on that
plan-and let Methodists, Baptists and
everybody be plum welcome.

Tex. Sam Davis and Calvin Crozier
were but two. We had many more
Just like them, but they were not so
tried.
But speaking of tears and war the
most touching lines ever written were
by Longhorne, who died more than 100
years ago:
sCold on Canadian hills or Mlnden's platss.
That weeping mother mourned her hus-
band slain;
Bent DER her babe, her eye dissolved In
dew
The big drops minglng with the milk he
drew.
What a sad presage of his future years
The child of misery baptized in tears"
What could be more sweetly, sadly
pitiful. No wonder that Burns shed
tears when he looked at the print that
had been made of the scene. Why has
not some great artist taken the hint
and painted it to the life-the mother
seeking her dead husband among the
slain ON battlefield and weeping over
her child as he nursed from her breast
-"the big drops mingling with the
milk he drew" 1t is enough to make
an angel weep. 1t is enough to EN-
phasize Gen. Shcrmans pitiless remark
that
war is hell
The poet Rogers said the prettiest
thing about tear. He wanted to find
chemist who could crystalline one SO
that he could wear it as gem next
to his heart for talisman. Shakes
peare calls the tears of an old man
honorable dew that silyers down thy
cheeks" and another poet describes
man as "a pendulum betwixt a smile
and a tear" So we will let these old
soldiers weep if they wish to. 1t will
do them good for they are not tears of
sorrow nor grief. They are the yelling
up and overflow of sacred memories.
It is like unto man after years and
years of wandering going back to the
home of his youth and greeting his
kindred and schoolmates and commune
ing together about the joys and sor-
rows of the olden time. These veterans
all shared common peril and it is
but natural that they should love to
get together and talk of it. So let them
meet and talk and weep if they feel
like it, and curses be upon the heart
less set who scoff at it and say oh, let
