He Fell From Grace.

The Rev. DR.. Herrick, U. S. A., re-
tired, who is known and beloved by
soldiers and civilians alike, because of
his tender heart and his kindly wit,
has this story to tell of an experience
of his down at Fort Monroe. He was
staying at q hotel there-last spring,
I think it was-and among the persons
who made his acquaintance were two
gentlemen. One Of them was Meth
odist clergyman, from somewhere in
Kentucky, and as his companion had
clerical look and seemed so great a
friend to him, DR.. Herrick naturally
concluded that the companion. too,
was Methodist. The mention of the
town where the Methodist preacher
lived reminded DR.. Herrick Of a
story.
"Do you know Lew So-and-So, out
there in Kentucky, the famous horse
MANI" he asked.
YES was the answer. The re-
verend doctor smiled his kindly
smile.
''I heard story about him the 9th
er day." he said. ut seems that, be-
sides being a breeder of fine horses,
he was noted character on the race
track. Betting and racing were pas
sions with him. The time came.
however, when he experienced a
change of heart. He was converte d
and joined a peculiar sect, called
Campellites, or Christians, church
Of very recent origin. For several
months lie kept him to the straight
and narrow way, but one day he hap
pened to be driving very fast horse,
when he passed race track. He
drove in, and despite his good resolu-
tions he fell from grace and presently
sent his horse around the track in the
fashion of his unregenerate days.
Somebody saw him and reported him.
He was summarily turned out of the
church. A day or two afterwara a
friend met him and asked him if the
dismissal from the church had not
been great blow to him. Lew was
unexpectedly cheerful. He was not
at all cast down.
"'No, said he, t think it served
me right. I ought to have known
better than to join a scrub church
with no pedigree. y
The Methodist preacher laughed
immoderately. His companion smiled,
but in an embarrassed way. The
Methodist finally dried his eyes.
"And now, DR.. Herrick," said he,
"I want you to know my friend, the
Rev. Mr.. So-and-So,' y slapping his
companion on the back. Giles the
man who turned Lew out of the
church. = Washington Post.

Scotchman Struck Trouble.

Donald McAlister, Of 437 East Sew
enty-sixth street, applied to Magis-
trate Hogan in the Yorkville police
court yesterday for a warrant for the
arrest of some men who, he said, had
assaulted him at an Irish wake last
Tuesday night. He went to the wake
with another Scotchman, he explain
ed, and when asked to tell a story to
while away the time, told why there
were no Scotchmeni in hell. The story
described how two of Lucifer's satel-
lites, sent to earth to bring in a Scotch
man for inspection, brought bull
dog in their bag by mistake, and the
beast bit the devil so severely that
he called his underlings about him
and said: "Until the day of judg
ment never bring another Scotchman
here. Go to England and Ireland,
where you'll get people without
trouble. -
AS soon as he had finished his
story, McAlister said. one of the
mourners asked him if he intended to
insult the Irish. Before he could
answer some one threw shoe which
hit him in the eye. The man next
to him hit him on the nose. Several
others attacked him on either side
and his friends had difficulty iu get
ting him alive out of the house.
"Who are the men that struck
you?" asked Magistrate Hogan.
McAlister replied that he did not
know; they were all strangers to him.
The magistrate told him to return to
court when he found out who the men
were.-Nc,o TorA; Sun

Made q Slight Mistake.

Before accepting an invitation it is
we'll to be sure it was given inf good
faith. After an afternoon service
held many years ago in certain vii
lage in Scotland, the preacher, stran-
ger, who had oficiated. accompanied
one Of the elders of the congregation
home, and was introduced to his wife.
The good man having asked the cler-
gyman to stay to dinner, the latter,
after little pressing, consented.
The good lady hurried off to prepare
for the unexpected guest, and seeing,
as she thought, her husband washing
as was the custom in those days, at
the family sink, she seized the family
Bible, approached stealthily from be-
hind and brought down the ponder
GUS tome upon his bald pate, exclaim-
ing:
"Tak' ye that for bringing hungry
preachers here to dinner every time
they come to the parish -
AS soon as the assaulted one could
get the suds out of his eyes he looked
about him, and after thinking the
matter out, concluded that the old lady
had made slight mistake. She, too,
came to the same conclusion when, on
returning to the parlor, she beheld her
husband patiently waiting for his rev.

Good, But Unlikely.

The development Of the Missouri
"zinc field" brought QUO almost as
many curious and amazing incidents
as follow the discovery Of new gold
region. The Joplin Index tells one
it has a pathetic side-of a family
Of ten children, orphans, whose estate
consisted Of quarter-section of rich
zinc land.
The syndicate that was developing
the region wanted the property. The
guardian of the children was shoe
maker in Joplin. He had been a
friend of their father, and was work
ing hard to keep the estate intact until
they should grow up, and to educate
them meantime.
After he had refused offers that in
creased $4,000 at leap, day after
day. he became tired and set price of
5000, ,00G, SO that the syndicate would
cease botbering him.
It happened, however, that that
particular property was necessity
for them, and they would have given
twice as much. So they took him up
in twinkling The court approved
the sale, and the amount was then
handed over in the form Of certified
checks.
The shoemaker looked at the pa
pers, found out from the banker that
they were good, and then said to the
agent Of the syndicate: "Could you
give me part cash?'
