BrotherIfness In Brockton.

Here is a story told by Professor Bar rett Wendell about Dr. William Ever ett: The latter was going out to Brockton one night to deliver an ad- dress and ran across Mir. Wendell in the Old Park square station. Come along, Wendell" he said. q am going out to Brockton to speak, and I want some one respectable to sit on the plat form with me" So the professor went along.
 When Everett arose to speak, the hall, which was large one. was only passably well filled, and even the com paratively small number present began to grow smaller as one by one people slipped away. MT. Wendell began to think that Brockton must be singu- larly cold hearted place when sudden ly he noticed people coming In by twos and threes and silently taking seats wherever they could find them. Soon the hall was full, with standing room only. but still they came till the aisles and walls were lined with interested listeners.
 The supposed deserters had simply gone out and told the people of Brock ton that here was the greatest man they'd ever heard and gathered them in by the score.-Boston Herald.
