with the trailing of the long black

pertinent to observe the incongruity of

sombrero, which, oddly enough, was
not the sombrero of the mountains, but
that of the Arizona cattle plains. The
trousers reached only to the knee and
matched the jacket in color, texture
and decoration; from the knees down
the preachers legs were incased in
high heeled top boots such as cowboys
affect.

it was decided generally that the
preacher had grit. His stock went up
so per cent.
AS time went on the preacher grew
more impsssioned, and many of the
women and few of the men submit
ted to immersion in the icy mountain
stream and went on their way prais-
ing. For time an excessive and
demonstrative happiness pervaded the
town. The echoes gave back the hymns
which the people sung together in the

saw praise meetings held by the side

of the tramway that led to the mines.
A strange light began to burn in Wam-
holds eyes, and his cheek bones be-
came more prominent as fasting and
prayer and exhortation wore him thin,
and his magnetic hands were more
restless than ever in their movements.
In the midst of all this excitement
the posters of a circus were posted on
the billboards. 1t was done over night
between the coming of the passenger
and the going of the freight trains, and
in the morning the preacher was seen
standing before them a long time. 1t
worried the people Was he going to
be so rigorous as to forbid them in
diligence in their chiefest pleasure?
1t proved to be the case. Never be-
fore had he been so fierce in his de-
nunciations of anything as he was OF
that circus. The town was shaken by
the storm of his disapproval-and 1t
was divided as to its course OF action.
The night the circus came to town
Wambold held a prayer service, and he
cried with a great voice that Satan
was in the midst of them with scar
let temptation Some of the children
wept. They did not want to belong to
Satan, but neither did they want to
stay away from the circus.
The blinds of the preachers cabin
were closed that evening, and no light
shown through them. The people Won
dered why. They could never have
imagined the truth-that Wambold lay
face downward upon the clean linen
of his bed crying aloud to the Lord of
the hills to give him refuge from the
harassments of the evil one. Nor could
they have guessed that when the
mountains brooded over the sleeping
town that the preacher crept out OF
his house and did not stay his steps
till he stood where the showmen were
driving the stakes for their tents, and
the women were boiling black coffee
over their camp fires. He shifted the
indescribable circus aroma-horses,
leather, sawdust, fodder-as If it were
the sweet south wind breathing upon
a bank Of violets. He bent an eager
ear to the jokes of the men, to the long
night plant of the Gagged leopard and
the loud laughter of the women. Then
he stole back again to his darkened
cabin

Philadelphia Inquirer: you've all

friend OF the Saunterer. They usual
ly confine themselves to the purloining
of what small change happens to be
there. But here's a case l know Of,
of woman in West Philadelphia, who
showed much more enterprise than
that, and who, think, deserves the
palm. 1t happened the other night.
The woman's husband is a travelling
man and is now home for couple
of months. He was out the other
night, and as he did not get in until
between two and three in the morn
ing, he was pretty sleepy and his SUM
Der was resultantly heavy. His wife
happened to be just out of change at
the time, and she thought of the old
way of getting it. She got up quietly
and proceeded to go through the suit
which her husband had just taken off.
There was not a cent of change to be
found, and she saw with dismay that
the smallest thing was a ten-dol,ar bill.
She didn't have nerve enough to take
that, and she was rather in despair
for a moment. Then she came upon
a little bundle of tickets bound with
an elastic Her face frightened up and
she put the package in her jewel box.
The next morning the clerk at the re-
demption office of one of the railroads
paid out three dollars and thirty-two
cents for seven unused return coupons,
and the woman went briskly off to
spend her ill-gotten gains. And when
she told a friend, and the friend sug-
gested that her husband wouldn't bless
her when he wanted the tickets, she
answered in a very injured tone, Why,

WANIBOLD.

Wambold came out of the mountains.
He had long curling black locks. a
slender, supple body, and an indefina-
BILE air which can, perhaps, best be
described as patience. No one in town
had ever seen him before, and he did
not say anything about his past. He
appeared, in fact, to be interested only
in the future, and his interest in that
was so broad and general that it was
almost the sole theme of his discourse.
Not only was it the subject of his con-
versation, but he harangued about 1t
on the street corners evenings after
the men had come down from the
mines.
What are you waiting for?" he
would cry, standing hatless on the
street with the sunset throwing red
light about his emotional face. You
waiting for these mighty mountains
to roll up as a scroll? You want the
sun to drop down out of the sky and
the stars to shoot from their places?
Does it need all that to show you that
the day of judgment will surely come?
Why, you blind leaders of the blind,
the miracles are about you on every
hand, and they are within yourselves.
Nothing is so wonderful as yourselves,
and if you will read the book of your
own hearts you will find there the as
surances of immortality-nay, you will
discover an Unborn sense of justice
which will warn you that the day of
judgment must come" Such words
as these he would speak in rather q
low voice of even modulation; then,
with q sudden wild gesture, he would
fairly scream: why, then, do you
daily? Tomorrow exploding dynamite
at your mines may hurl you out of the
world. While you are delaying your
horse may slip and carry yea with him
down the precipice. Now is the time
to repent! Hurry! Hurry! You can
not run fast enough. But the way is
difficult and the shadows of night are
coming fast. There he waits you on
the mountains. VIII you run with
eager feet!'
Then-the hour being what 1t was

The next morning the sun smiled
with confidential POPULARITY upon the
town, and it beheld every woman and
son of woman going to the circus-and
the town was clear of hysteria for the
first time in month.

After IL was all over the people went
to their homes penitent. They were

Tombstone Photographs.

Photographing tombstones is novel
industry which has been instituted by
a colored man in this city, who was at
one time boy of-all-work in a photo
graph gallery. He has recently
branched out for himself, and has al
ready established a remunerative bust
ness, which promises to open even a
wider field in the future. He visits the
various cemeteries with his cameras,
and when the day is fair he takes pic
lures of many of the imposing monu-
ments. After he has developed his
plates he takes proofs around among
the relatives of the deceased, and usu-
ally finds a ready sale for his pictures.
OF course, he has to take chances, for
he works entirely without orders,
trusting to sentiment for his sales.
Still, he says it is very seldom that he
doesn't get an order. He also has a
habit of haunting the marble works
where tombstones are made and by
striking while the iron is hot he takes
a picture before even the bereaved relz
atives have seen the stone.-Philadelz

Every Ones Words.
Statistical scientists will not let us
alone. Everything we do or say is
submitted to the closest analysis; and
the figures emerge full of warning and
reproach, says Golfers Weekly. The
newest tabulation of our doings comes
from the workshop of NJ. Alfred Arkas,
who is minuteness itself. He has
worked out, first, an approximate cal
culation of the numoer of words the
normal man utters in the course of
year. Ignorant or cultured, playing on
the miners vocabulary of 200 words, or
on the university professors thesaurus
of many thousands, it appears that we
let fall 100000 words between Janu-
airy and December. Every year we
shake hands about 1900 times, expend-
ing on the ceremony a force sufficient
to raise a locomotive weighing eighty
tons. The raising of our eyelids is
accomplished 94,600,0 900 times per year
and represents the consumption of en-
ergy capable of lifting a weight of
fifty-one pounds. Turning to the di-

normal man living seventy years has
spent no less than twenty-four years
nine months and fifteen days asleep
and eleven years and eight months at
work. His recreation has occupied ex-
actly the same length of time as his
work. He has passed five years and
ten months in moving about and the
same space. of time in the operation
of feeding. His toilet has occupied two
years and eleven months. Two years
and eleven months also, passed in doing
nothing or in little things that are not
easily classed. The surprise is the
estimate that a man passes exactly
the same time in thinking as in speak
ing-one year five months and half.
Which gives one a new idea of the
value of what ought to be attached to
every mans utterance.

Seaport of the South.

It has long been evident that the
rapidly increasing movement OF grain
and merchandise towards the south
ern seaboard would demand an in
crease of shipping facilities on the
Mexican Gulf. The most promising
seaport city is La Porte, at the head OF
Galveston Bay. Peculiar natural ad-
vantages surround LaPorte, notably its
being the fartherest inland seaport on
the Gulf, having high dry land with
perfect drainage and the purest arte-
sian water, a climate unsurpassed in
the south and an attractive city site.

AT times the fighting on the island
has progressed very slowly, 1t seems
to me, writes the Sun correspondent,
but business was taken up with vigor
and dispatch south of Manila, after the

II had not been intended then to go
ahead as fast as we did, but there were
unexpected developments, and General
Lawton Is not the mar to lose any adj
vantage simply because 1t comes to
him when he isn't looking for II. Our
outposts had been established pretty
well down the road below Las Pinas,
perhaps a mile or a little more from
the center of the town where the
church is. One evening when Gen.
Lawton was out a little beyond the
southern outposts some insurgents hid
den in the woods a few hundred yards
away took a few shots at him. That
set him to wanting more than eve to
know just where they could be found,
and he started out the next morning
with two companies, G and f of the
Twenty-frst, to make a reconnaissance
on his wi hook. 1t was called a re-
connoissanee in force, but the force was
mighty small for the work that devel-
oped for 1t to do. AS Gen. Lawton
said, after it was all over, he started
out to find the enemy and he found
them by a large majority.
