OVERSTEPPING THE BOUNDS
Minister'S Pound Donation Party and the
Conscientious But Stingy Member.


"Tbe first charge / ever held was in
a small town in the western part of
the state,| said the well-known minis
ter, who was in a reminiscent mood.
"Ihe town was not very large, and
my congregation was very poor and
unable to contribute much toward the
support Of a minister, so they made up
what they lacked in cash by holding
donation parties now and then dur
ing the year to exc out the small salary
that they paid.
"The first infiction Of this kind
that | had was called a pound dona-
tion party, at which everyone was ex-
pected to bring a pound of something
or other. Among the congregation
was member who had more worldly
goods than all the rest put together,
but he had the reputation Of being
near and | confess that l looked for
ware with some interest to see what
he would bring.
Imagine my CONSERVATION when

ing but few small potatoes.

hard work to remember that | was a
minister Of the Gospel and treat him
pleasantly. He said that he wanted
to speak to me privately for moment
and drew me aside.

IMP SOON TO GO EAST.
"UncIe Dan" Harness Great Mare Will
Be Shipped to Bennings.

Chillicothe, o., March 20 Imp, the
idol of Ohio and queen of the Ameri-
can turf, will within a week leave her
home quarters for the opening of the
eastern racing season at BenningS. Her
engagements are heavy and if present
indications go for anything the great old
mare Will be in such order that she will
have every chance to eclipse even her
phenomenal record of last year. She
stands today as sound as a dollar and
has already shown that she has lost
none of her speed.
A month ago Imp was brought up
from Uncle Dan" Harness farm at
High Bank and put into training at the
half-mile fair ground track here She
had wintered splendidly and put on
some muscle. Unfortunately for three
weeks the weather was SO bad that
nothing more could be done than rou-
tine exercise, and it was only ten days
ago when she could get on the track
The going is by no means of the best
being SOFT with a coating of two or
three inches of loose sand and dirt. In
spite of this and the fact that the mare
was going in the teeth of a stiff breeze
for the first quarter mile her very first
decided effort showed that she has lost
none of her speed. She went a half
mile in 0:50A and did it with scarce
~ an effort. She would not have blown
out a candle when he pulled up. Three
days later she was sent a half in 0:49
and six furlongS in 1:15.

AFRAID OF RUHLIN.
Madden Mad Because No One Will
Meet His Man.

New York, March 20.-Billy Madden
is having a hard time getting a match
for his man, Gus Rubin. Tom
O'Rourke's last declaration that Rub
lin will have to wait for a chance to
fight Sharkey has aroused Madden to
mako a few pointed remarks, which he
does in the following statement:
'Sharkey's first response to Rubin S
challenge looked to me as though the
sailor had finally picked up nerve
enough to meet Ruhlin. But see / was
mistaken, as his manager, Tom
O'Rourlze, now says Rubin will have to
wait. It's tiresome- The so-called top
notchers think Rubin soft mark.
Then why don't they fight him? They
are all looking for easy things. Sharkey
fought Jim Cormiek, of Texas, the other
night and is matched with stockings"
ConroV, whom Rubin beat in seven
rounds. Fitzsimmons made a match
with Maher last week and Mccoy re-
Gently fought Jack Mccormick. I hon
estly think the men I have named are
afraid of Rubin. I see that Maher will
be unable to meet Fitzsimmons at
Philadelphia owing to sickness. Rubin
will gladly take Peters place if F'itz-
simmons is willing"
