An Architects Lecture,

Mr.. Henry Sully Of Nottingham, England
gave an illustrated lecture at the Chrsta-

southeast, Thursday evening, which was

his audience. 1t was an architects pic
torial description of the Immense temple
described in the last eight chapters of the
prophecy by Ezekiel, which cumulative
prophecy, he said, shows Is to be built on
Mount Zion, in Jerusalem, as a house OF
prayer for all nations in the age to come.
Speaking as an architect, he told how
accurate in even the smallest details are
the plans and specifications of the inspired
prophet, and declared that they indicate a
structure unsurpassed in beauty and unap-
preached in dimensions, covering a spa ce
of one and one-quarter square miles, and
capable of accommodating one million wor-
Slippers.
A vivid conception of the beauty and ex-
tent of the prophetic temple. which is to
be substituted for all other places of wor-

ferred. Mr.. Sully will give an additional

but he was lifted right up on the PIN
nacle of greatness. Deacon Spooner
headed subscription and raised $50 for
him, and the aristocracy called on Mrs.
Small in such numbers that she
couldn't get the Monday washing out
until Friday. Abel was hardly fit to
be out when the annual election of the
Liars club came around, and six of
the most prominent men in town es-
corted him down to the hall. There
was but one sentiment, and that was
voiced by William Shrincr as he rose up
and said:
1T will be no surprise when / say
that we have among us liar of whom
we ought to be proud as community.
We are all liars, but we cannot equal

for couple of hundred miles. All he
had to eat and drink for seven days
was four clans and half bottle of
cough-sirup, and he met with pirates
and sharks and hurricanes without
number. 1t was a sleek, slick lie, and
so well told that some folks almost be-
lieved it. Abel's wife knew just where
he had been, but she patted him on the
back and said:
AT last you are doing somethin' to
help this family along. Keep right on
tellin' that story, and don't take off a
single shark or pirate if you die for
it,"
Henry Schemerhorn, John Tobias
and Deacon Spooner got after Abel and
tried TO pick flaws in his story and
make him own up, but they couldn't
bulge him. They shifted Mt the whale,
made fun of the pirates and proved by
the weather reports that there hadn't
even been a gale while he was gone,
but he shut his jaw firmly and replied:
Gentlemen, you may believe me or
not, but it all happened just as | say.
I'm sure the whale was ten feet longer
than my figures"
About ten days after Abel got home
he was taken down with typhoid fever,
and when the doctor said it was a very
serious case, the sick man told his wife
that he had better own up that the
story was q lie. He didn't want to die
with no such whopper charged against
him.
Abel, don't you do it," she advised.
You are a sick man and are goin to be
sicker, but you must take chances
of dyin, You must do it for the sake
of me and the children. The lie as
it stands is the slickest ever told in
Squan Creek, and women who used to
pass me with their noses up now holler
over the back fence and want to lend
me their washboards. Hang on, Abel,
till you are struck with death"
lie said he would. and he meant it.
After two or three nights he had TO
have watchers, and they laid their
hands on his fevered brow and told him
he was nearing the grave, and advised
him to unburden his conscience. He
owned up TO having lied about seeing a
lobster with wings and clam with
feet, but he wouldn't go any further.
Even in his delirious moments he
would cry out:
"Ha! ha! thou bloody pirate, but
cheer off or | will give you broadside
which will send YOU to the bottom be-
fore you can call upon Heaven for
mcrcy!"
One day the doctor announced that
Abel had less than "a hours 10 live,
asd the dying man asked his wife ii
be hadn't better own up 10 the lie. She
turned up the sheet TO look at his toe
nails and advised him TO hold on. The
nails hadn't turned blue yet. and there
was one chance in thousand that he
might pull through. The preacher
came in presently to ask Abel II be

NEVER TASTE WATER.
Horses in the Hawaiian Islands Stake
Their Thirst with the Ma
tive Grass,

The proverhia1 horse which can be
led to water, but Which cannot be made
to drink, exists in great numbers in the
Hawaiian islands.
Among the cattle he has thousands
of cousins of the same proclivities.
1t is Il surprising statement to make,
and yet one that is literally true and
so commonplace that no one there
thinks anything about it, and there are
hundreds of horses and thousands of
cattle which never take a drink Of
water throughout the whole course of
their lives.
On all the islands the upper alti-
tudes of the mountains are given up
to cattle ranges. The cattle run wild
from the time they are born until they
are rounded up to be sent to the slaugh-
ter house. Except during possibly two
or three months of the rainy season,
there are no streams or pools of wa
ter in any part where the cattle range.
But everywhere there grows a re-
cumbent jointed grass, known by the
native name of MAMMA. This is both
food and drink. Horses and cattle graz
ing on it neither require water nor
will they drink it when offered.
Our first experience with this fact
was on a trip to Haleakala. A party
were mounted on horses which had
Just been brought in from the range.
The journey they made was IA miles,
in which distance they assembled about
5000 feet.
The party started in the afternoon,
and about sunset halted for supper.
They thought it strange that the horses
should leave a feed of grain to nibble
the scanty grass which grew near by,
but were willing to trust their in
stinct in the matter.
However, before starting they in
sisted that they be given water. The
native guide demurred to this, saying
they didn't need it, but, with the good
natured complaisance of his race, yield
ed to requests, and led a detour of about
a mile. which brought the party to a
ranch house, where there was well.
But. to the utter amazement and stupe-
faction of the travellers, the horses
would not drink.
They took it as another case of in
stinct, and assumed that the water, for
some reason, was not good, and so re-
Trained from drinking it themselves. 1t
was not until the return, the second
day, to Kawaapae, that the travellers
learned the secret of the wonderful
MAMMA grass.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

was prepared for the great change
about to take place, and added:
You know that it is written that no
liar can inherit the kingdom of
Heaven"
"Yes, | know" replied the dying
man, but can't be barred out on that
account. | stole a dozen eggs once i'll
my boyhood days. and mebbe that will
be held up agin me, but as for lynn,
the recordn' angel won't have nothin'

But about the whale and pirate
story?" asked the good man with sad
shake of the head.
THAT was all true to the last word.
don't think l got the wind BLOWN
half as hard as it really did, and
know | underestimate the number OF
pirates by at least So"
The preacher wrassled with him for
an hour, but Abel was firm. Instead Of
taking anything off the story he kept
adding to it, and the good man finally
left in despair. Abel began to weaken
soon after that and wish he had owned
up, but his wife looked at his toe-nails
again and said:
There isn't mite Of blue TO be seen
about 'em, and / don't believe you are
gon' to die after all. Jest hang to
your story like dog to root"
Well, Abel hung between life and
death for two days, and then began to
improve, and at the end of four days
the doctor said he would get well. In
ten days he was out of danger, and no.
body knew what to think about it.
Some said that he had been saved to
give him time to repent, and others
that he must have been telling the
truth about the whale and the pirates,

At the last annual election OF the
Liars Club of Squan Creek, Abel Small
was elected president by an overwhein-
ing ma jority, and it is quite likely he
will hold the position for two or three
terms. Three years ago Abel was con-
sidered small fish as a liar. He lied a
lie occasionally about clans and lob
sters. but never had anything to say at
the meeting of the club. He improved
as time went on, but was still way
down to the foot of the class when
Providence seemed TO step in to give
him a boost That is, his wife burst out
CRYING one evening and explained that
all the neighbors looked down on her on
his account. He was such an every
day, one-horse liar that she had no So
cial standing. AS he tried to console
her she said:
If was you, I'd be either at the head
or move out of town. I've stood it as
long as can. and if you don't do some
thing I'll commit suicide"
"I'll do somethin'," replied Abel,
after thinking the matter over. I've
been goin' slow and gettin' the hang o
things, but I'll do somethin' in the next
two weeks to put you up in society or
break my neck tryin'."
Abel had never displayed much am
bition. and his wife was only half
comforted but he went right on plan
ming to surprise her and other folks.
Ua won't ont in his bont after CLAIMS
the next day and did not return. He
landed on the beach far away and
made for Philadelphia, and when he
reached home in the night week later
he had a wonderful story to tell. He
said he was longing for clans with his
anchor out when a whale swallowed
the anchor and lowed him out to sea
