Somewhat Too Open Confession.

A peculiar state of affairs exists III
a town on the Burlington Railroad
north of Sioux Falls. 1t appears that
a prominent evangelist visited the
town and had wonderful success in
securing new converts. Among those
reclaimed was a noted female charac-
ter of the town. The woman was in
dead earnest, and the church members
considered her conversion one Of the
chief events of the revival meetings.
This proved to be SO, but not in the
way expected. At one Of the meet
ings, after the woman had renounced
her former ways and declared her pur-
pose to start life anew, the minister
took occasion to remind the class Of
converts that an open confession was
good for the soul. The woman in
question, taking the evangelist at his
word, proceeded to "cut lOose" in a
manner that has rent the town asunder.
The woman told of her many sins
and implicated dozen or fifteen of
the leading citizens. The married
women Of the congregation, who at
first had listened listlessly to her sto-
ry, suddenly became deeply interested
and began a more systematic line Of
investigation as to further and corrob-
orative details. As a result Of this
particular instance Of open confession
being good for the soul, an editor, a
banker and several prominent mer-
chants are the defendants in suits in
the divorce conrts or are about to be.

A Whale in His Back Yard.

1t is not every one who can point
with pride to whale eighty feet long
in his back yard. This privilege be-
longs to an East Los Angeles man
Some time ago while walking over his
property he noticed a peculiar white
streak which had weathered out 1t
looked like chalk, or as if whitewash
had been sprinkled along the ground
and had soaked in. The owner of the
land began to investigate the matter
with pick aud shovel. To his amaze
ment he found the streak was made
bv enormous bones, which, one by one,
were dug out. They were huge round
masses, each lift for two men. The
bones were in regular lines and were
traced for eighty feet. They were not
identified until scientific man came
along one day, and. after inspecting
them, informed the owner that they
were the vertebrae of whale
This is the sixth or seventh whale
discovered in the corporate limits Of
Los Angeles, and there are doubtless
many others still uneaIthed, as II Is ev-
ident that at some time large school
of whales was trapped on the California
coast. Los Angeles is about seventeen
miles from the ocean and coo feet
above high-water and from the top OF
the hills it can readily be seen how the
cutaceans were entrapped. Perhaps a
million years ago, more or less, the
Pacific flowed over the present site OF
the town. Here countless whales must
have gathered and paraded up and
down the coast as they do today.
They wandered far inland, in all prob
ability over the present Molave and
Arizona deserts. Finally, without
warning, one ofthe greatest cataclysm:
in the history of the world came. The
entire coast was lifted into the air
mountains assumed shape, aud the
dripping, kelp-lined rocks, reeking
with the life of the sea, were lifted
with titanic force. The great inland
bays and estuarIes became dry land
in an instant. Myriads of animals,
huge whales and fishes of all kinds
became lodged in the mud banks
where they are found today, monu'
ments of the great lpheaval which saw
the formation of the coast range Of the
Pacific.
From Tia Juana to Santa Barbara
there are evidences which tell the same
story. Now on the slopes of noun
tains, high above the water, Is the old
beach, with its shells, bones and sharks
teeth and everywhere whalebone'
have been found, showing that scores
Of these were trapped in the great up
heaval. In the San Luis range a
great whale skeleton was found in re-
lief several years ago. In excavatinq
tunnel in the very heart Of Los An
geles another whale was discovered
away beneath the houses.

Mr.. Armour"
"What does that mean p
"My dear brother" said the cler.
gyman, u am sorry to say that when
l applied to you yesterday my intor-
nation as to this case for Christian
charity had been received only by
hearsay. l have since investigated
personally and discovered that the
poor woman in childbirth is unmarried
and living in sin. She has not sought
salvation that is freely offered without
money and without price. l could
not, therefore, conscientiously give
her the money. To satisfy my con-
science l must therefore return II.
Mr.. Armour indignation was arous-
ed. He dismissed the man curtly.
Then he sent special messenger to
relieve the unfortunate woman and
make her unhappy lot as easy as cir
cumstances would permit.
above all, he said in recalling this
case, "a minister of the gospel OF
Christ should have been the first to
show mercy to this fallen one, and if
she were in sin and the slough OF
despond he should have been the first
to reach forth hand to lift her out
and start her on the right road.
Here is sample anecdOte of Mr..
Armour's treatment of his men
One day, on going into his Office, he
found a policeman in the corridor.
What ale you doing here, sir he
asked.
Il am here to serve paper, was
thereby.
"What kind of "a paper asked Mr.
Armour.
a want to garnishee one of your
mems wages for debt, said the police,
man.
Indeed, replied Mr. Armour, "and
who is the man." He thereupon asked
the policeman into his private Office
and ordered that the debtor come in
He then asked the clerk how long he
had been in debt. The man replied
that for 20 years he had been behind
and that he could not catch uF.
But you get good salary, said
Mr.. Armour, "don't you ?"
Eyes, said the clerk, "but can
get out of debt. Ny life is such that
somehow or other I can't get out.
But you must get out, said Mr.
Armour, cor you must leave here
How much do you owe?"
The clerk then gave the amount
1t was less than $1,000 Mr.. Armour
took his checkbook and wrote out a
check for the amount.
There" said he as he handed the
clerk the check. There is enough tc
pay all your debts. Now | want you
to keep out of debt, and if hear o.
your again getting into debt you will
have to leave"
The man took the check. He did
pav his debts and remodeled his life
on a cash basis.
At Christmas time it had always
been one of Mr.. Armour's little pleas
antrie8 to lay in stock Of gold coins
and walk into his Offices with cheer
full greeting and toss the coins around
promiscuousIy among his 200 clerks
He never had held a public Office. Po'
litical preferment had not comported
with the bent of his mind or ambition

SI.00 A YEAR.
The Judges Test.

Judge Cooper, o. Shelbyville, Tenn,
was one of the most powerful personal
tiles of the Middle South. He was
great figure during the Civil War,
fine speaker after the war, and has
been notable inlge during tho yea.s
of his later his. To know ~ Coop
er, of Tennessee, is at once TO know
all that is best and most interesting
OF the life Of the great frontier State
His fund of anecdote is without limit
his hospitality for half a century has
been unbounded. He has often been
urged to write book that should deal
with the "reminiscences OF the South
ern Judge. and give to the world a
brilliant historical picture of the M
tensely Interesting legal and political
life of that South which he has known
in 30 many phases.
Judge Cooper has a powerful figure
AS well as mentality. His head Is Of
dimensions rare among men. Ii has
the breadth and length that folk want
in their great men He is proud Of
his head, and 1t was well known
throughout Tennessee that Judge
Cooper required similar head on the
man who should win his daughters
hand.
Mss Cooper was a belle and many
men paid court to her at the fine old
home In Shelbyvllle. Whenever a
young cavalier became frequent in hls
attentions the Judge would mark that
young man when he came in, then slip
out quietly into the hall, take the
young mans hat from the rack aud
try it on his own head. The next
morning he would say to his daughter:
You needn't be falling in love with
that young man, because his hat does
not fit my head, aud you cant have
him. He was fully determined that
no smal-headed man should win his
daughter, for he didn't believe any
good could come out of small head.
A few years passed and none of the
hats that hung so frequently IN the
Cooper hall would 60 on the head Of
the hospitable host. The joke on
these young men quickly spread over
Tennessee. 1t was openly said that
no man with small head need pre-
sent himref as a suitor for Miss Coop
er's hand.
At last Shelbyville knew that one
man was getting all Miss CooPers
smiles. He was South Caroiuinn
of gigantic proportions.
He called one night and the Judge
found the pair sitting on a moonIlt
piazza. He went straight to the hall
rack and tried on the mans hat 1t
fitted.
He told the fact to his daughter the
next morning. 81 am already engaged
to him" she answered with the inde-
pendence of the Southern girl.
The man in the case is DR.. Thomas
A. Hoyt, pastor Of the Chambers-Wy-,
he Memorial Church, Of PhiladelPhit
aad one Of the powerful personalities
in the Presbyterian Church.
