DIDN'T HAVE TIME,
Faith Cure Nay Fail Occasionally for Want
Of Faith.
The COoat

The Coast.
J. w. Cummings, of Kent, tells the
interesting tale that several years ago
there lived at O'Brien, place near by,
q man and his wife, who claimed to
be Christian Scientists, and held that
the influence OF mind over matter was
such that no one ought ever to be
sick-that there is no such thing as
sickness-that sickness is a matter of
imagination and only in the mind.
This fellows wife took sick and he
doctored her by faith cure, under
which treatment she steadily grew
worse and eventually died.
After her death Cummings says he
went over to see the old man and said
to him:
"You are not such firm believer
in Christian Science now, are you"
"Just as firm as ever" the fellow
replied, "the only trouble was that
my poor wife's faith was too weak to
avail her; if she could have thought
strong enough, she would not have
died."
Two weeks later the old man him
self was taken i'll. He at once called
in a doctor of medicine. As he grew
worse he called in two more and event.
ually pulled through. After he had
recovered sufficiently to receive callers,
Mr.. Cummings interested himself TO
see the old man again and about the
first thing he said was:
"How about Christian Science now.
old mani"
"Christian Science is all right"
came the reply.
"Why did you call in all the doc
tors when you were sick~ Cummings
continued tauntingly, "if it is all
right? Why didn't you just think you
were well?"
"Now, Mr.. Cummings" he answered,
in a confidential tone, "IIl Just tell
you; the thing came on me so sud.
denly ! didn't have time to think"
If the following joke really did
come from the Christian Guardian,
to which it is credited, that paper
deserves a large and sudden boom in
its circulation, says the San Francisco
Wave. The story is about an Irish.
man and Frenchman, who were dis.
putting about the nationality of a
friend OF theirs. II saw" says the
Frenchman, "that if he was born in
France he is a Frenchman." BE

One or two newspapers of Louisi-
ana have seen fit to criticise the Town
Talk for giving n short spacein these
columns to the death of aunt" Cath
crime, an old blind colored woman who
resided in this city for many years,
and who was known to most Ut our
people. We desire to say to these
criticisers that if they would give
more attention to the local news of
vicinity, aud less space totirsome ed
itoral matter of weak quality but
great quantity, they might gain some
Of that popularity which has come to
the Town Talk, the greatest favorite
in the homes of Central Louisiana Of
any newspaperever published.-To
Talk.
The man who cannot say a kind
word for faithful old c0lored mon
or woman, is lacking in the main trait
that denotes gentility and refinement.
A faithful dog is entitled to consider
alton, and the failure to treat the ne
gro with equal justice is the cause Of
much sullenness and righteous rebel
ion on their part. If there is any vir-
tue in the kindly treatment Of those
inferior to Us, it is just as well that
we condescend to show an apprecia-
ton of the fact.
