From the window of the chapel softly
sounds an organs note,
Through the peaceful Sabbath gloam-
ing drifting shreds of music float,
And the quiet and the freight and the
sweetly solemn tunes.
Bear me dreaming back to boyhood
and its Sunday afternoons;
When we gathered in the parlor, in
the parlor stiff and grand,
Where the haircloth chairs and sofas
stood arrayed, a gloomy band,
Where each queer oil portrait watched
us with a countenance of wood,
dustless splendor stood.
Then the quaint old parlor organ, with
the quaver in it's tongue,
Seemed to tremble in it's fervor as the
sacred songs were sung,
AS we sang the homely anthem, sang
the glad revival hymns
OF the glory of the story and the light
no sorrow dims.
While the dusk grew even deeper and
the evening settled down,
And the lamp-lit windows twinkled in
the droWsy little town,
Old and young we sang the chorus and
the echoes told it DER
In the dear, familiar voices, hushed or
scattered evermore.
From the windows of the chapel faint
and low the music dies,
And the picture in the freight fades
before my tear-dimmed eyes,
But my wistful fancy, listening, hears
the night wind hum the tunes
That we sang there in the parlor on
those Sunday afternoons.

Il THEY WANT IT FOR.
Stories Told by Hoboes in Drug Stores
when Saloons Are Closed.

M NM "
An elderly man, with ragged and
badly fitting clothes, a shutting gait,
a rum-be-sotted face covered with
about three days growth of beard and
with a breath that indicated the close
proximity of a distillery, wandered
into a down town drug store the other
morning about / o'clock. The saloons
had closed. Staggering up to the drug
clerk, he leaned over the counter and
remarked huskily: Say, Willie, just
fill that up with alcohol. Ten cents
worth. Seer"
The ragged man produced a whisky
flask, and, passing a dime over to the
clerk, settled in a nearby chair with a
grunt of contentment. alcohol, eh?"
answered the clerk. What do you
want it for? We're not selling rum in
this place." The ragged individual
arose, and, going over to the clerk, OBJ
served, in what wa intended to be a
highly injured tone of voice: "Now,
youse, don't get gay wit me. Rum?
Who said anything about rum? That
juice is goin' to me chafin' dish around
the block. I'm goin' to cook me a sup
per. See? So chase along, me lad, and
produce the goods" The clerk smiled,
but nevertheless filled the order.
That's the practice of those fellows
pretty generally" he said after the,
bum had departed. "He has just made
a hot touch, and, being unable to get
into a saloon, is going to drink the
real stuff. We have ten or fifteen
orders for alcohol from his class every
night. On Sunday, if we chose to sell
it, we could do a rushing business in
that line. The s~able-colored boot
blacks in this vicinity drink it almost
entirely. Ten cents worth in a half
pint flask, mixed with a little pump
water, some sugar and lemon juice,
makes enough of a certain kind of gin
to produce the much-craved-for SEN
sation. They tell me all sorts of sto-
ries when I ask them to what use they
want to put the poison. A hobo stag
gered into the place the other night
for a dimes worth. Nothing doing
1 remarked laconically, seeing that he
was nine-tenths souses already. Jaw,
now, come on" he pleaded. wants
the dope for private use. That's on
the level What do you want it for?'
1 asked with some curiosity.
HE came over to within whispering
distance, and, leaning over the counter
remarked in very confidential tones:
Say, youse, just keep this on the
quiet. l wouldn't let it out for the
world. I'm painting a picture of me
old college chum, Chauncey M. Depew
up to de house, and 1 wants de stuff
to mix me oils He got the booze" -

A WRONG IMPRESSION.
the Aged Farmer Imagined About
the Descending Aeronaut.


eyes, this parachute jumping bust
ness is dangerous" said the old aeron-
aut th%oughtfully. But it may surprise
you to learn that it is not nearly so-
dangerous as the old form of balloon
ing. With a parachute you car pick
your landing place, and while coming
down it can be guided more or less,
and thus clear distractions that you
are apt to meet with. But with a bal
loon you are absolutely helpless, and
you have to come down wherever the
big bag may choose to land you. I
remember a humorous incident that
happened to me a good many years
ago, when this parachute business was
lever dreamt of. 1 had made an as
cension, and had been carried out into
the country. AS I neared the earth I
threw out my graphing hook, but I
was passing over plowed fields, and the
hook merely dragged on the ground,
and did not stay the progress of the
\ balloon. Peering over the side of the
basket I noticed a wagon loaded with
seed potatoes standing in a field, and
a moment later my graphing hook
caught hold of it. But the wagon was
not heavy enough to stay the progress
of the balloon, the result being that 1
dragged it along with me. Then I saw
an old man who had been taking a nap
under the wagon jump up, look dazed
for a moment, and then start in pur-
suit, yelling wildly: Col dern your
ugly picture! What do you mean by
stealing my potatoes?' The wagon ran
into a stump at last, and as the hook
held I managed to make a landing. I
spent In exciting five minutes trying
to convince him that I had no designs
on his potatoes. 1 succeeded in a way
at last, but think to this day, if the
man is still alive, that he is under the
impression that it was only a new
scheme to rob the honest old farmer
