Cards Runs In on Fouf RoEer Play.

f'k rather amusing thing Happened
at a fishing camp at which was last
summer" said r. r. Reynolds, OF
Hartford, at the Hotel Manhattan,
New York. One Of our party, while
otherwise thorough good fellow was
an interminable talker, and, as such,
an awful bore. The description, once
applied to O certain statesman, that
he used to set his mouth going and
go away and leave it taking, fitted
him to Il. We stood It for a couple
of days, and then we put up game
on him. After supper, when we start
ed in on his regular conversations, we
got up in body and decamped. He
saw the point and gracefully yielded
to the inevitable, although he swore
revenge. About this time we found
that we had no playing cards with us,
and telegraphed back to the club for
20 packs, which arrived in due time,
and that night we had game. After
We had played some time the CONVEX

did every one else in turn. This went
on until we all got tired, and then
came the draw. Some stood pat, and
the balance drew one card each. AT

When we recovered from the trance
we were at first thrown into we look

/ generation, he had disappeared and
/ returned no more that night 1t took
about an hour and half's hard work
TO get that pot straightened out. 1t
seemed that the dealer had been alone
in camp when the cards arrived, and
all the 20 packs happening to have the
same backs suggested the idea to him,
and he put up the dummy pack, which
he held in his lap. The substitution
was easy. and We did the rest. New

a return to New York was decided on.

Younaes, Woman Preaoher.

Melesin K. sowles. a girl Of sixteen
years, is probably the youngest woman
preacher in the world. In June of
this year she preached the opening
sermon in the yearly meeting of the
Baptist church, Honey Creek, Wis,
and she has been granted an unlimited
license to preach at the quarterly
meeting Of that church. Miss Sowles'
home is at Prospect, Wis, where her
father is in charge of the Baptist
Church. Miss Sowles has frequently
during the summer spoken from her
fathers pulpit. Before she was 10
years old she evinced a great interest
in theology and, unaided, outlined a
sermon.

Evils Of Profanity.

Clergymen and ethical writer's have
had a great deal to say about the evils
Of profanity. The field against this
petty vice has now been taken by an
other class of men altogether, one al
so which has a great deal more in
huence with most young men than
clergymen usually have-physical
trainers, coaches and team captains.
This information will undoubtedly
startle many young aspirants for ath-
letic honors, who consider sweater,
a pair of lurching shoulders, a mine
ing gait, a cigar and a loud and pro-
fame manner very manly" and the
proper outward characteristics of an
athlete. But 1t is fact, nevertheless
that the leading trainers and lovers OF
athletics, both here and In England,
have started a crusade against profan'
ity, the former considering IL a great
drawback and hindrance to getting in
condition quickly and easily OF to put
ting on weight, and the latter fearing
an unenviable reputation and the set
ting of bad example.
