wATER-FRoNr STORY.

One of the hahitnss of the water
front is somewhat of wit in his way.
He is a man who has seen life on many
sides in many countries. He has form
ed opinions that are backed ND by his
experience. and in his way is philos-
opher OF no mean ability.
Yesterday he was talking to a Re
publican reporter, and in the course OF
the conversation told how on several
occasions he had faced death and had
been inclined To prayer for deliyeranee.
He says that it has been so long since
he learned to pray that he has forgot
ten the prayers he learned as child
at his mothers knee As an instance
Of an original appeal TO the Almighty
the following Is told:
The speaker. with a companion. an
freshman. were in imminent peril OF
their lives. The lrishman fell on his
knees. and. clasping his hands. said:
Good Lord. deliver me safe from
nv danger. Oh. Lord. this Is the arr
time I've ever asked you for anything
for these many years. and. IL you viii
grant my request this time. promise
never 10 call on you again
The narrator stated that at the time
the prayer did not strike him ss being
funny.
