A young man who for business rea-
sons had wandered far fron his ma
tive city, materially, but not spirit
ually, once attended revival service
in the small town where he had taken
up his abode. During the service an
urgent invitation was extended to all
sinners to come forward to the anx-
ious seat to be prayed for by the
brothers and sisters of the church.
AS the young man did not accept the
invitation, the revivalist walked down
the aisle and placed his hand on his
shoulder, inquiring: "Have you never
felt any desire to be born again?"

A PIKE COUNTY MIRACLE.

velpen, Ind, June 17.-William O.
B. Sullivan, farmer of this place, and
who is q brother of ex-Representa-
tive Sullivan, of Pike and Dubois
counties, has had remarkable ex-
perience recently.
Mr.. Sullivan is 40 years OF age,
and has been a citizen of Pike county
for 30 years. For two years he has
suffered much with Kidney Trouble
and rheumatism. His shoulders and
side were very sore and stiff, and his
back was so bad he could hardly
straighten up at all. He had palpita-
ton Of the heart, and smothering
which was very distressing. He used
three boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and is as strong and well as ever he
was. He pronounces his cure mir
acle. Mr.. Sullivan's statement OF his
case is startling:
"a month ago / was a cripple. To-
day can do hard days work every
day, and have not q single ache or
pain"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done some
wonderful cures in Indiana, but none
more miraculous than that in the
case of Mr.. Sullivan.

INSANITY OF SUDDEN WEALTH
Some Gueer Things Arc Done by PeO-
pie Who Have Become Rich
Unexpectedly.

People who, after years OF grinding
poverty, suddenly come into great
wealth sometimes put their new for
tunes to peculiar uses. Certainly they
should be allowed to do so without
harsh criticism, for the strangest
things done by the newly rich are done
to realize a dream which has cheered
the heart when the days were full of
trouble scarcely to be borne, and
helped to Tighten the great load of
poverty.
Awhile ago IN Englishman, who all
his life has never been able to keep
his feet shod properly, suddenly came
into large fortune. The first thing
he did was to give an order for shoes
to several shoe makers, so arranging it
that he could put on new pair of
shoes every day in the year. How
often he had said to himself in his
years of poverty, when his toes were
sticking out of his shoes or the water
coming into them: "Oh, if I ever get
any money, won't just blow myself
on Shoes" The opportunity came. and
the first thing he did was to indulge in
an orgy of new shoes.
A miner who came into an uneXpect-
ed fortune gave a great feast to his
workmates. Often when the miners
were eating the contents of their din
ner-pails down in the dim galleries
of the mine he had thought of what a
feast he would like to spread there for
himself and his fellow workmen. So,
when he came into his fortune he had
one of the galleries of the mine lighted
and decorated, and great and costly
feast served there to the miners, at
which he presided.
Another man who suddenly became
rich bought all his particular friends
a complete outfit of clothing, even 60
ing so far as to furnish each of them
with gold watch and chain. Then he
invited them to a famous feast, at
which all sorts Of expensive luxuries
were served.

The Picturesque Pan American
Route to buffalo

is a very appropriate designation of the
Grand Trunk Railway System, which has
made the most ample preparations to ac-
commodate visitors to the East this sum-
mer.
A new train was inaugurated June 2,
known as the Detroit and New York
Express" which leaves Dearborn Station,
Chicago, at 1882 a. IN. The equipment is
new and strictly up-to-date, every comfort
of the traveller being provided for. Meals
are served la carte between Chicago and
New York at any hour to suit the conven'
fence of patrons.
From Detroit the train speeds eastward,
stopping en- route at Mt. Clemens, whose
waters are famous the world over, leaving
the State at Port Huron, and entering Can

marvel of engineering, passing during the
night through the important cities OF Lon

THE END OF IT ALL.

~ OILY and 1 had been arguing
las we usually had. But,
strange to say, neither of us had

would quarrel about once In so often.
1t was such lot of fun making up.
Dolly and were not engaged, but
some time we were going to be. This
was another regularly understood In
stitution between us. This was a lot Of
fun also. particularly as our respective
families-the heads of them. rather
had log ago decided that we had bet
ter ket apart for some time to come.
Because they had SO decided and stern
" forbidden any engagement until we
should both be of age, at least, we had
gloried In the fact that we should be
engaged some time. And tonight, for
the first time. we had enjoyed neither
the quarrel nor the reconciliation and
neither of us had made any reference
to that coming engagement.

the engagement n reality. and hardly
knew how TO set about it. Dolly,

quite other causes. The grim old aunt

guardian would harm my cause all she

Sultan turned to the one guard in the
apartment and ordered him to retire.
The guard took u step backward and
halted as rigid as before. Abdul re-
peated the order; same result. Once
more he had to command and this time
the man obeyed.
Prof. Vambery was astonished at this
evidence of lack of absolute power In
the Sultan's private household Abdul
smiled. and explained. 1t happened
often that he wished to show faith in a
guest-that is, only apparently. He
would order the guard to retire, the
guard would remain, and Abdul would
go on with the conversation, seemingly
under the impression that the guard
had really gone. Only the third COM
mand was to be taken literally.
When the Sultan has finished this lit
tie confidence he invited the professor
to sit opposite him at little table and
have some tea. Now. the Sultan does
not take sugar, so he forgot to offer his
visitor any. The bowl was at the Sui
tan's elbow, but the professor was not
used to asking monarchs to wait on
him. Still he could not drink the tea as
1t was and he leaned over the table to
reach for the sugar. All in flash the
Sultan was on his feet, his hand in his
pocket, his face pallid. The gesture of
the harmless old savant looked to him
like assassination.
