The fact that daylight and darkness
are alike TO the Rev. Mr.. David, a well
known northwest Missouri Baptist
minister, owing TO his blindness, was
responsible for rather unusual and
somewhat amusing situation during
the services conducted by him in the
Maryville BAPTIST church on a recent
Sunday night. Mr.. David had but just
got started in his discourse when the
electric lights suddenly went out, leav-
ing the congregation in total darkness.
The minister, however, knew nothing
of it and preached right along, his
auditors remaining perfectly quiet I'M
til the close of the sermon.
Then, following the announcement
of the hymn, the chorister rose and
said. Brother David, the lights have
been out almost half an hour, and we
cannot see to sing" And then light,
although not the one that failed"
dawned upon the sightless orator, and
he hurriedly pronounced the benedic-
ton and dismissed his congregation

A NOTABLE FEAT.
Showing What Uncle Sans Printers
Can Do When Rushed.

There are victories Of peace no less
renowned than those of war" observed
well known printer to reporter,
and it seems 10 ne they should be
spread on every record and long be
remembered. In the hurry and excite
ment of the days of the opening of the
Spanish American war mauy things
occurred of which but little note was
taken, and in many instances the note
has been mislaid or lost. The incident
that want kept green in the memories
of all, and if possible have it ingrafted
into the history of the war by future
historians. is the printing of the mes
sage of the president the day before
the declaration of war with Spain.
This message, it will be remem-
bered, contained all the diplomatic cor
respondence between the United States
and Spain for the previous six months,
and much of it was of interest and all
of it brand new as far as the public
was concerned. The message was de-
livered to congress at o'clock in the
evening of March %, 1898, and the
letter of transmittal only read. 1t was
then sent to the government printing
office. The following day at noon it
was On the desk of every senator and
representative, a bound book of 300
pages. containing over 100000 words.
In addition to that there were 20 full
page half tone engrayings. and more
than that number of diagrams. which
had to be engraved to scale, so that
they could be considered in connection
with each other. AS if this was not
surprising enough, for the equal of it
or anything to be compared with it is
not on record in connection with the
typographical art, the book was thor
oughly indexed. work which in itself
occupied over 80 men ten hours. A
number of books were bound. though
the ink had not yet dried, the books
having been dried in an oven. 1t was
a most wonderful piece of work, sur
prising in its extent and marvellous in
its accuracy and completeness.
There was no preparation made for
the publication in advance, the whole
thing coming into tne ONCE Nltn tne
suddenness of summer shower, and
at time, too, when there was great
deal of other work on hand and big
number of The Congressional Records
to be got out the same night. 1t
involved the labor of several hundred
men. Had such job been sent to even
the largest private publishing houses
of the country they would have
promised the work in a week. though
the chances are it would take them
nearer month to complete it. The
engravings alone, half tone, would
ordinarily take from week to two
weeks At the government printing
office the whole thing was done in a
night 1t seems like an Arabian
Nights tale. e."-Washington Star.
