The revival meeting started in the
Cumberland Presbyterian church two
or three weeks ago. has developed
into a union meeting OF all the
churches. and services are now being
held in the Baptist church which Is
filed TO OverfiOwing each evening.
The meetings are being conducted by
revivalist 4. B. Hobbs, OF Chicago.
The meetings have been growing in
interests and with a united effort OF
all the pastors of the city and church
workers there is no reason why But
Ter should not witness a great revl-
val of religion.
The people by their vote rejected
the proposition to build a new court
house. as result the county will con-
tinue to pay rent for another term of
years. In this part of the county the
people generally favored the propo-
sitiOn. and in most of the townships
the necessary twO-tmrds vote was
given. The people south OF the river
killed the proposition and will no
doubt assume the responsibility for
the same. On the other hand, the
friends of the proposition did moth
ing to further the interests of the
cause. A vigorous campaign would
have won the fight, but this was not
made Time will probably remove
the existing prejudice and tllen the
question: will be settled upon it's
merits One thing is certain, the
people will not consent to move the
county seat to the south part of the
journal.

SENATORIAL COURTESY.
The Gentleman from the South Gave
Way and the Senate Was
Adjourned.

Senator Pettus, of Alabama, is the most
owl-like member of the senate. He is so
ponderously solemn that he IS unconscious
ly humorous.
he belongs to the old school of southern
statesmen now fast disappearing. 1t is easy
to see. in the dogmatic manner in which he
laws down the law to his senatorial col
leagues, that he has been judge. He speaks
with great delbera ton, at the rate Of about
six words minute, and each word is en-
phasized by the waving of his chin whiskers.
His gestures are confined to wide sweep of
his arm from his body and an inverse mo-
ton. Everything he does or says IS serious.
Even when he wants the senate to adjourn,
he goes about it in a way that is the very
quintessence of solemn dignity. For in
stance, the other afternoon, when Mr..
Spooner was talking on the Quay case, Mr..
Pettus arose.
81 should like to ask the senator to give
way for a motion, if he pledses, remarked
fate of the nation depended upon the an
swer.
II will agree to anything the senator
wants me to-" replied Mr.. Spooner, smiling
ly, Except to vote against my convictions on
a constitutional question"
II am not asking you to do that" said
Mr.. Pettus, still mysterious, but | want
you to give way to a notion.
.'Wel1, what is it ?" asked Mr.. Spooner.
"It is to adjourn" answered Mr.. Pettus,
in his melancholy voice and without a
smile.
Every member of the senate laughed, and
the motion to adjourn was carried.-Wash-
ington Post.

BELIEVES In HORSE SENSE.
Veterinarian Converted by SICK
Steed That Sought
Doctor.

Experience has convinced me that there
is such a thing as horse sense said yeter-
mary surgeon who has a shop On the South
side "a friend of mine had beautiful
chestnut driving mare that was subject to
severe spells of collie. About year, ago she
got very sick and Jones, the owner, brought
her over here for treatment; cared for
her, and she seemed as grateful as human
being might, rubbing her nose against my
coat sleeve, and showing her affection in her
dumb way.
zone day about six months ago up she
came to the door of the shop, moaning and
evidently suffering acutely.- | treated her
again and she got better. L found out att
erward that there was no one at her home
stable that day and that she had worked
the halter off and had set out to find the
DOCTOR"
Curious circumstance" said the man
who had heard the story.
"But that's not all of it, said the doctor.
''Three days ago | came down to my office
in the morning about nine O'Clock. There
lay the chestnut mare in front Of the door;
dead. She had been taken sick, had made
her way as before to the shop IN the night,
and found nobody there to give, her medl-
cines, and she had died. Now, if this story
isn't proof that horse can reason | would

and, passing his arm round my neck, made
me drink like a child. The draught was cool
and refreshing, and as sank back on my pill
lows, my heart for a moment being gay at
the thought of the letter, said, jestingly:
"Chevalier, you would make most ex-
cellent nurse. Shave off that little mus
tache of yours, put on a black hood and
gown, and diavolo! But you would break
as many hearts as you cured wounds" The
words were barely out of my mouth when
he brought his foot down with an angry
stamp on the carpet, and with face as
scarlet now as it had been pale before
turned on his heel and walked out of the
room.
| looked to the able, who was sitting
watching me, stroking his chin with his
hand.
est. John! But is he often taken this
way?"
The cleric rose, and, not answering my
question, spoke:
"You had better try and sleep now, cava
liere or else the potion may lose its effect" :"
He then followed st. Armande.
| would have risen to apologize, but felt
pleasant numbness stealing over Inc, and
in minute or so my thoughts began to grow
confused, and | seemed to sink into sleep.
Not so profound a slumber, however, as to
be unconscious of what was going on around
me. l was sure l once heard Bande Mere
and Jacopo in my room, and that | was be-
ing carried apparently to more comfortable
bed Then l felt soft hands bathing my
wound, and heard gentle voice whispering
words of deep love in my ear. 1t was a

mounted, intending to assist Angola out of
the litter, but as it was set down she sprang
out of il of her own accord, and the next
minute she was in the arms of the abbess,
and there was much kissing and many con-
gratulations, mingled with tears of JOY.
| did not stay to receive the thanks l saw
would shortly be showered on me, and,
thrusting handful of crowns into the hands
of the leader of the good fellows who bore
the litter, as some reward for himself and
his men, looped Castor S reins into my arm
and set forward to walk to the villa. The
chevalier came with me, and by the time |
reached it l quite giddy, being weak
with the pain and the loss of blood. The
saturnine old able was there, with more
concern in his face than | had seen for a
long time, and seeing me stagger he put an
arm round ME, and, aided by st. Ar'nande,
assisted me to couch. The chevalier him
self dressed my wound with gentle and
slillful hand, making as much of me as if
had been run through the vitals. As he fin
ished dressing the wound the able remarked
that / would have to rest for few days to
enable it to heal, and | had replied with
some difficulty, my jaw being bandaged up,
that this was impossible, when Clan came
in with a note. 1t was from Angola, child
ing me gently for not waiting TO receive her
thanks and those of the abbess, and beg
ging me to come the following day, with a
postscript to the effect that the lady abbess
would SO far relax the rules of the order as
to admit me within the courtyard. L dis
missed Clan with thanks and message that
| would be at the convent, charging him to
say nothing of my wound, and then my
thoughts went a wool-gathering, and L lay
back with the missive in my hands. st. Ar
mande was leaning against the window, his
back to the light. He had taken up this po-
sition after whispering word or two.to the
abbe, who left the room. / did not, how
ever, observe him or anything else; my mind
was full of mad thoughts, and for the mo-
ment let them have full play, making no
effort to resist Folding the letter up care
fully, l placed it under my pillow, and was
about to close my eyes when the able re-
turned, bearing bowl in his hands. This
st. Arinande took from him, and, approach
ing me, said:
Come. cavaliere-you must drink this at
once"

"Dear Sir-Pe-ru-na has been my

Certainly a Prize Thought.

A teacher of music in one of the public
schools of the south desired to impress the
pupils with the meaning of the signs ''f''

said: Now, children, if f. means forte,
