She sat on the graya, with six toes on her feet.
Alas, Tor my sorrow began!
For she oeicd 1T mc with crimson leer,
And ho" nose was 50 lluc, TIL, yosl
Her dress was transparent, her joints very

But, all, did love her the less?
All, never, ~, never, no more

For nay love il girl of the primary tints
Aud she sits on the purple grass.
The sky Mt her bacl; was magenta and slate,
And the sun delicate gray;
She was washing herself, am able TO state,
With somebody's soap all the day.
Her arms were too long, and her nose too short,
Her perspective is wrong, l contest

The Committee "Abscatu1ntes.v

We'll, white people, the gate money

men folks went down into their TANKS,

I'll be bound some of them good old

they placed the money with Web Gard
ner as 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 airy reports
to speak of. In fact, Rufus, the COM
mittee, gate money and all, come up

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

under the shade of the trees, and every

And so fur as Web Gardner was con

health. He was after the gate money.
| With him it didn't make q continental

Now, in the mainline, the people
had went wild over the new preacher.

up at both ends. Ii he didn't see what
he wanted, all he had to do was to ask

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 l have
saw and heard tell of, they had another
tremendous outpourin at the meetin
that night. Old Parson Weston led off
with sermcnt-which he took his text
from along there where the Scripture
says the Lord loveth a cheerful giver.
At the close of the sermont they sung
another song. whilst Web Gardner took

A well-known Louisville woman was 81,
and her physician pronounced her IN
critical condition. Among the sympathetic
neighbors was a pretty widow who was
lavish in her expressions of sympathy tor
pass that she began to sympathize with
them to such en- extent that she spent most
of her time at the house. When the wife
was thought to be sinking and the family
were beginning to fear the worst, the
widow walked up to the husband and said:
"Ah, how | pity you, Mr.. -, and these
dear children. 1t will be awful if they are
to be reared up without mother to care
for them" At this injunction the wife,
with a mighty effort, raised up in her bed
with the words: "Oh, you needn't be ,wor-
ried; l am not going to die. No, Will not
your assistance in the future" FSom that
time the woman rallied, and is nov hale
and hearty.-Louisville Dispatch.

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 til 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 a 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
ind 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
me he preached rale good sermont-
which l 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 great outpourin and a
mighty rattlin in the valley of dry
bones.
"Then all of student Web took up
notion that they must-light in a 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-which, you understand,
the bresh arbor meetin was belt on that
plan-and let Methodists, Baptists and
everybody be plum welcome.

there is anything under the sun and on

it when the light breaks in SIGH orful
