The Boy Preached.

A hush fell upon the congregation
while the famous boy preacher but
toned the third button of his Prince
Albert preparatory to his opening SEN
tence. Far and wide throughout the
land his influence had been felt. The
sound of his voice mad electrified null
titudes. The vigor and freshness of
his discourse mad charmed n million
hearers. At length the Albert was
buttoned. Placing his hands behind
him the speaker sailor rather. he
tried to say it, for the inarticulate
sounds that issued from his mouth
bore no resemblance to any language.
The congregation stared in astonish-
ment. The orator stopped in dismay
and suddenly retired in confusion.
Alas for the forgetfulness of genius.
The boy preacher had left his false
teeth at home.-EIarlem Life.

would dwarf the giants of the Califor-
MIA forests into insignficance. lie be-
gan on one branch of his family. and
soon struck Miles Standish, from whom
he ran VARIOUS shoots and offshoots,
with many a feeling of pride. With re-
newed interest he went TO work on an
other branch of his growing tree. and
had gone back but four generations
when he was amazed to strike a great
grandfather who had died from stran-
gulaton brought on by a rope en-
circling his throat. his death occurring
in the presence of large gathering of
curious people, who had taken day off
during harvest time in order to see the
hanging. Ry this time the man Of fam
lily pride had become intensely disgust
ed with genealogical investigations. but
all that his friends knew CT his disap-
pointment was the fact that he re-
manned away from the busy haunts OF
his fellows for several weeks. and the
family physician gave out the informa-
ton that he was the victim of a severe
case Of nervous prostration.
