IN noting the death of Mr., Gabriel
Rauey in our last, we said he was a
member of the Methodist church, not
remembering that he was member of
the Christian church, while his wife
and brother, Mr.. Il. ID. Raney, are
Methodists. Our attention being call

as a church goer while here and the

A Quick Balloon Trsp.

An unusual incident occurred IN con.
nection with gala day at Bradford,
England. One of the features was q
balloon ascent by an experienced
aeronaut, who was to be accompanied
by two members of the city council.
The guests entered the car and the
aeronaut stood by, ready to give the
word to start, when strong gust of
wind carried the balloon almost level
with the ground, the aeronaut fell out
of the car and the balloon at once rose
in the air. The greatest consternation
prevailed when il was known that neith-
er of the men in the car understood how
to manage the balloon. 1t shot up in the
air to a height of 6.000 feet ard was
soon out of sight. Fortunately the two
city councillors kept their wits about
them and after some experimental
hauling at the ropes found the one that
controlled the valve and let ont the pas.
Then they came down almost as fast
as they went up. They found it hard
TO describe the details, but they landed
in a wheat field, the grapnel caught
and the balloon lay upon them and
nearly smothered them. From this
predicament they were rescued by some
laborers and then they took the train
for Bradford. They found that they
had traveled-not counting the ups and
downs-27 miles in 35 minutes.-Golden
Days.

o, listrn TO the music
OF the childish voices sweet;
And hearken to the patter
OF the tiny little feet
The pitter patter. pitter patter. through the
open door:
The patter of the little feet upon the oaken
floor.
They climb upon the sofa,
And make horses Of the chairs:
They bring the yellow mud in,
And leave marks upon the stairs:
And yet there's nothing in this life that Is
TO us more sweet
Than the pitter patter, pitter patter of
those little feet.
They love to run and gallop,
And make dreadful din:
They love to kick poor pussy,
Nor deem 1t is a sin.
Eut when at night the little eyes are closed
in sleep SO sweet,
We miss the pitter patter OF the restless
little feet.
Poor grandpa says: BE quiet.
And let me read minute;
!, No matter what the mischief is
You two are always in it,"
But when he Is away from home ne always
longs to meet
The welcome pitter patter Of those noisy
little feet.
o, little feet so eager:
o, little hearts so true
Dear little hands so willing,
And little eyes so blue:
God grant that when we all shall meet upon
the other shore,
Well hear the patter of your feet upon the
Heavenly floor.

Lawyer and n Typewriter Meet anG
Compare Notes Under Odd
Circum sta nces.

"You may not think my story is any.
thing remarkable" said the treasurer
of the Coincidence club, land / don't
suppose it is. But it impressed me.
I'm a lawyer, you know, and my expert
ence set me to thinking that things are
often the very opposite of what they
seem. One night l was sitting late in
my Office, working on a difficult case.
About ten o'clock / woke with start
and realized that l had fallen asleep
over my work. I'm tired out said to
myself, and I've got to straighten this
case out before court time tomorrow.
I'll go to a hotel, sleep few hours, and
come back to work. That's exactly
what did. was called at four o'clock
and got to my Office just as it was get
ting light. AS put the key in the lock
the door of the real estate office next
door opened and out came the pretty
typewriter.
"'Good morning. said /. What in
the world brings you down here at this
time in the morning?'
~ might ask you the same question:
said she. But I'll tell first. Yesterday
/ copied an important paper for Mr..
Fairchild. put the copy in my desk,
but threw the original in the waste-pa-
per basket. In the night realized my
mistake and l knew that the only
chance to save it was to get down be-
fore the janitor took away the waste
paper. So here l am, and I've found it
all right
Were you ever here before at such
an unearthly hour?' / asked. She said
she never had been, and never expected
to be again.
Now had never been at my office at
four o'clock in the morning before, and
| don't expect to go there again. So
here were two people at their offices at
a most unusual hour at the same mo-
ment, and for the only time in their
lives. 4
But the thing that set me thinking
was this: Suppose l had a jealous wife
or she a jealous husband. Suppose some
one saw us together in the hall at four
o'clock in the morning, and told tales
on: of school. How decidedly appear
ances would be against us. Such evil
dence as that in divorce suit would be
hard to explain to a jury. The literal
truth in the matter would hardly be be-
lieved by any ~ men on earth" h."-Chica-

Told of Sultan's NAVY.

A good story is told of Turkish man
of-war which was ordered to Malta.
When the captain had got his ship clear
of the Bosphorus, it struck him that it
would be as well if he knew where NAL
ia was, for he had not the slightest idea.
So he inquired of a passing vessel.
whose captain offered to point il out
on the chart. But the Turkish captain
preferred to follow vessel which he
knew was about to sail for that port.
Unfortunately fog came on, and when
it cleared off the vessel in front was no
longer the same, though the captain
knew it not. For days he followed the
ship, and at last reached port, when.
addressing the authorities that came
on board, he said: Malta, presume ?''
"Oh. no." was the reply. This is Liver

THE SUNSET or THE YEAR.

In richer hues than Tyrian dyes could lend
Yon wooded hill by autumn's touch is
dressed;
Where golden birch and silver poplar blend
With naples crimson as the robins
breast:
Ard fragrant pines and stately hemlocks
vie
With ceda-s vested In perennial green.
While russet robes oer oak and beeches lie,
And sumachs. raising flaming torches high,
In sunny spots and sylvan hooks are seen
WIZ dog and gun the sportsman eager HES
Trough browning fields once fair with
waving grain.
Where timid quail from out the stubble
rise,
AID poor Bob White" must chant his
plea in vain.
From yonder marsh there comes the plov-
ers call,
A rabbit fits from friendly thicket nigh;
A lonely woodcock in the bushes tall
Whistles his note ere brown wings down
ward fall,
As rings his death-knell to the autumn
sky.
In forest depths the evenings quiet broods.
Save where some lingering songster pipes
his tune.
And in the amber glory of the woods
Perchance rejoices in the suns of June.
But through the aisles, with rustlng car
There falls no more upon the listening
ear,
Through spacious nave ard archway over
head,
The melody of song-the choir has fed
The calm that tells the easons close Is
here.
Der forest field and marsh and wooded hill
The golden lights in wondrous splendor
lie,
Ere winter comes, of stern and rugged will,
And autumn whispers to the world good
by:
But the song of mountain stream be
stilled.
And russet robes give place to ermine
drear,
Again is earth with summers presence
filed,
And natures heart with joyous whisper
ings thrilled
In this the radiant sunset OF the year.

ing him by cession dowry amounting
to 200 drachmae of silver. As he had no
means OF his own at all, I received him
into my parents house, and /, for nv
part. conducted myself blamelessly in
all respects. But Sarapion, having
squandered my dowry as he pleased.
was constantly ill-treating me and in
sulting me and using violence toward
me, and, having reduced me to poverty.
he finally deserted me, leaving me in q
destitute condition. Therefore, 1 beg
you, that he may be compelled perforce
to pay back my dowry, with an addition
of half its amount. This petition is
