 Tuesday evening while W. F. Kirby was looking after his timber interests Tn the bottom he came in contact with mammoth rattlesnake, and as Frank has ever been d pious young man and firm believer in the teachings of Holy Writ. and imbued with the spirit to carry out the edicts of the same, he re. solved then and there to enforce the condemnation in Genesis III, 15: And l will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; 1t shall bruise thy head. and thou shalt bruise his heel" Now this man Kirby struck as never man struck and with such power and such force that he dislocated his (kirby's and not the snake'sl right shoulder. While MT. Kirby carried cut the prophecy against the snake in bruising it's head, just how he could construe the above quo tation to mean that he should swap ends with himself, and instead of brulsing his heel, that he should dislo- cate his shoulder. Now, we do not wish to accuse him of intentionally ' pervertlng the scripture, for that would be slanderous. But his peculiar aud eccentric icinterpretation of the verse will ever te clothed in the deepest mystery MT Kirby suffered terribly for several hours but Dr. C. C. White was sum- moned and soon restored the shoulder to its natural position. While Frank is exceeding penitent over his rash act we are glad to state he is doing nicely

Sallie Ann Some More.

Sally Ann is living just about two hum dred years too late Tn this wide-awake world. She, or he as 1 suspect, should have lived with the Puritans when 1t was a sin to indulge even the slightest levty when it was wrong to kiss ones wife on Sunday-and one's sweetheart at any time. Sally Ann's pure. chaste, ascetic nature is out of tune with its surroundings and no doubt is dreadfully shocked at the friyolity and gaiety of life about it. Now 1 do not want to be understood as scotfing at the beauty of the Puritan life, when peoples veins ran milk and water instead poor Hester Prymes neighbors were wor- thy to cast stone at her when life was one long sweet prayer and cards unknown. -I also hope no one will think l care to uphold the present Goddess age, where mirth and pleasure have their place, where life is made up of genial, happy thoughts, charitable indulgence of each others pleasures and opinions, and an inclination to shorten time with innocent and harmless games that serve for a moment to take our thoughts from that dreadful and awful fate that awaits us after this life is lived out.
 This must be dreary life to Sally Ann. who never indulges the relaxation of any harmless games but with his whole soul fixed unon heaven thanks Eou ha is not as other men. l don't know just what others may think Of it hut it strikes me as rather sacrilege that the name of Christ should be used in so careless and light manner as when 1t is suggested that He be invited to card party. There is lack of reverence in the suggestion.
 The fact, Sally Ann, that yeur nature is so austere as to need no recreation, as to enjoy innocent amusements, as to have led you to no acquaintance with authors or crokinole. in the absence of the ace, king, queen and jack, justifles you, l sup pose. in your narrow criticism Of those whose blood runs little faster, who feel the need of something besides prayer to make life pleasant and whose kindly deeds will no doubt balance the little sin of play ing cards.
 AS to the temptation of cards. Most Of the observant charitable people of today have concluded that familiarity with cards at home during childhood leads to an indifference to them and destroys the very fascination that when learned later leads boysto gaming.
 This is B proftess discussion. have

About Cards.

A home so austere and rigid as to forbid . Its members all games usually drives W children to secret pleasures away from home, for children to be normally healthy and happy must have play as we'll as work and study. Sally Ann plays no games-so if by chance Sally Ann has children, the poor little things must en- joy life as best they can, without games of any kind, for "1 spy, " marbles, races, ball, toys of all kinds, etc., etc., are ta- hood as idolatrous, not being to the glory of God, but simply innocent recreations that are waste of time, and so, sinful in the sight of-Sally Ann. The chance of becoming good and useful member Of society lies with the child whose home is bright with pleasure of an innocent kind whose parents are in sympathy with the childish sports and games and who make of home so pleasant place that tie boy or girl. or both or all ii there sbe many, will think home the best place there is, and mama and papa the pleas antest companions to be found.
 Cards being almost the one game tbat can be played and enjoyed alike by old and young together, has become, in ma iority of such homes as 1 have described a standard amusement and children of such are almost sure to look upon cards as in struments of pleasure and not of sin.
 Now take the other home where chil- dren are allowed no innocent games, where father and mother are too severe In their ideas of religion and duty to sympa- thize with childish sports or join in child fish games or to make of home the sweetest place in all the world for the children. Such homes drive the children away for amusements, and the chances are they learn what they should not. and worst and most dangerous of all, learn to hide their little shortcomings from those who ought by nature to be their most trusted confidants; and later, to hide their faults, their downward course is steady-I don't mean always, of course, but usually. l have known boys to come from just such rigid homes and seek the crap dens, the back room nickle-a corner seven-up game, etc., and their parents would not believe it today if they were told their sons had ever played cards.
 Parents, do not allow Sally Ann's mar row tirade against cards to drive you from your duty, but play with your chil- dren and teach them that all innocent games are good in moderation, and that cards are for amusement and not for sin.

Indeed, we had difficulty in getting away,

to him that was bound on a confidential

Lippi was an old soldier risen from the

weed that might be growing there l al

with alacrity, and l was subsequently sorry
for my pains, for the old bore did not quit

the cross-bow was a weapon as superior to
the arquebus as the mangonel was above
even Novarro's new cannon. At length he
wished US the day and departed, and the
horses, seeming the end of their days jour
ney, put on fresh speed as we galloped
through the oaks that studded the valley of
the Nera. The river here was hemmed into
narrow ravine, and, crossing by an an
cient bridge of three spans, supposed to have
been built by the Romans, we climbed up
the steep ascent that led to Narni, and
there found food and lodging for both man
and beast, at an albergo, the name OF which,
somehow, 1 have forgotten. st. Armande
was quite worn out, and saw he was unfit
