How the Dean First Came.

People in Raleigh, at least, will re-
member with pleasure the eloquent dis
courses here some time ago Of Dean
Hart Of Denver--the clergyman with
an Irish face and an English voice. He
had the eloquence Of one and the ro-
business of the other. This robustness
is not confined to his sincere treatment
and simplicity. 1t is in the man where,
after all, eloquence resides. Here is an
interesting story told me by promi-
nent gentleman in Raleigh who knows
something of the early life Of the dean.
1t was in Denver during the cowboy
and desperate days. There was row
Of barrooms-they constituted about the
chief business houses along the narrow
streets of the pioneer prairie town.
Dean Hart was then young man, and
his force was making itself felt even
among these almost abandoned men.
The gamblers and drink house keepers
grew FESTIVE. They could not stand any
shock of good deeds, but they had a
certain kind Of open handedness and
brutal frankness with all their hayward
habits Of life. They gave the young
preacher 30 many days to get out Of
town. He refused to 60 and kept on
with his work. Pluck is pet quality
with these men, and the young man had
it.
One of the most desperate Of the
dance hall keepers came to him and
said: "Young man, like you because
you are game. Come to my shanty to-
night and preach, and no one shall
harm hair of your head" The young
man was there, and his audiencel A
cloud Of smoke and wide brimmed hats,
with pistols and knives in their BELTS
The stage was crowded with the same
kind. But the boss man and his follow
ers kept their keen eyes primed for bust
ness, and the young man proceeded. He
staid there. He has been there ever
since. He built at first "a small church.
He is now dean of the Denver cathe-
dral. Raleigh News and Observer.

and is pronounced by those who have
tried it as the very best blood purifier
and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for SOC.
