Neal Dow. n.chl........

When the late Neal Dow was a
young man he was chief of the volun-
teer fire department of Portland, Me-
His activity in temperance reform
made him unpopular with the liquor
sellers, and they tried to get him re-
moved.
At hearing OF the matter one wit
ness testified that Mr.. Dow was arbi-
trary and reckless Of the lives of the
men. By way OF illustration, he said
that he was ordered by the chief to
take the pipe which he was holding in
to place where he refused to go, tell
ing the chief that no man could live
there.
On cross-examination he was asked
What did Mr.. Dow do them"
"Snatched the pipe from my hands
and told me to clear out
What else?"
He took It into the fire himself"
At that point the case against the
chief broke down.

Some people have a faculty for taking

A writer in the Temple Magazine late
ly gave case in point. II happened

said. You have given us a grand SER
mon. 1t has been treat-a real In
spiration to us ALL"
The doctor smiled and expressed his
qualification. and the man left the
vestry. No sooner was the door
closed. however, than one OF the dea-
cons looked up and remarked:
You must not take any notice Of
him. doctor-he's got softening OF the
brain"
THE feelings of the doctor must
have been akin to those of another
minister who was preaching in Roch-
dale, The morning was fine. and the
congregation large. At the foot OF the
pulpit stairs one OF the officials met
him.

THERE STOOD NANCY BLACK


While watching the CLEANS of light
and darkling shades, unconsciously the
wailing of the storm outside attracted
my attention; there seemed to be odd
noises OF tipping on the windows. and
sobs and sighs, as though some one
was entreating entrance from the fierce

thought OF Nancy Black. the old girl
hood friend who had loved me so dear

strange life. and still stranger death.
and wondering what could have be-

knew she had once possessed.
While sitting thus. queer sensation
crept over me: 1t was not fear. but
feeling as though II I'd look up I'd see
something frightful; shiver, not like
that of cold. ran from my head to my
feet, and a sensation as though some
one was breathing icy cold breath upon
my forehead. the same feeling you
would cause by holding piece OF ice

and finally settled round my lips. as
though the unseen one was caressing
me, thrilling me with horror. But
