MADE DOMINIELAUGH
INCIDENT THAT RUINED CARE
FULLY PREPAR Z SERMON
Combination of Girl, Chewing Gum
and Sleeping Man Too Much for the
disabilities Of ST. Louis Clergyman,
and No Wonder.

A prominent minister OF St Louis
was asked yesterday If he had ever
been tempted to laugh during services
and what would be the effect IL the
teacher of a large congregation should
burst In upon the full solemnities OF
regular service with a genuine hearty
laugh. Interruptions to services were
under discussion, and all the talk had
been about observation-disclosures in the
pews. The question suggested the
awful possibilities Of similar
break" in the pulpit. says the St
Louis Globe-Democrat-
We'll, / can answer that question
very nicely, because | did that very
thing one time myself" he replied
1T was one Sunday when my church
was unusually crowded. | had pre-
pared a sermon that | considered de-
cidedIy above the ordinary. and when
| had got well into IL | realized that
my audience was thoroughly impress
ed. / was deeply in earnest and they
were fully sympathetic. In the midst
of the discourse | happened to glance
toward the choir loft in the other end
of the church. A young girl singer
was sitting with her arms crossed on
railing and her body rigid, seeming
ly, with the intentness OF attention
She was such a good listener that
unconsciously talked at her as any
speaker will under such circumstan-
ces. AS | talked | tried to catch her
eye and was puzzled TO note that they
were not turned in my direction at all
I followed her gaze and ! saw some
thing comical in the extreme A man
in the back pew was sound asleep.
His head was thrown completely over
the back of the pew anu his mouth
was open TO its widest extremity.
1.-The girl was intent true, but In
tent on the open-mouthed sleeper I'M
mediately below the edge of the choir
loft. Slowly she lifted her hand to
her mouth, and / fully realized that
she extracted a large wad OF gum
Her eyes never moved from the man,
and to save my life my eyes could not
leave her | did not know her pur-
pose. but she slowly. very slowly,
aimed that gum at the mouth below
Her hand went up and down as she
fixed her aim and my eye rose and
fell with that hand as surely as bird
syays before the fascination of rep
tile. My words went on in mechanl-
cal monotone, but my mind had left
nv subject and my people Body,
soul and sight were strained In watch
ing that girl Up and down went the
hand, in motions that grew shorter,
and then. as the snake would make
the dart, she flashed that gum at It's
target II fell like a shot and as II
disappeared into the cavernous mouth
below broke my flow of meaningless
words with a shrek OF laughter that
fell on the audience like a bombshell.

Moses for Mayor.

The time for the municipal cleo
ton is not very far off and the proc
lamation is issued. We have 80 much
good and available timber for the
various city Offices that the real diff
ficulty is who not to put forward
The administration of the present in
cumbents has been of such a quiet
and conservative character, that the
stranger entering our city would be
impressed with the idea that no or
ganized authority existed and only
natural law controlled. This is a
very high recommendation for the
people of governm ent or of COM
munity. But now as to the coming
election, the time for choosing vic
tim for the chief Office is matter
for serious consideration, and some
thing like providential interposi-
ton seems to have come to our aid
in this time of doubt and indecision.
To come to the point, why not put
Nose Alexander, present Mayor of
Boise, in as mayor also of Weiser.
He has all the qualifications, and the
additional merit of experience. He
can manage the biggest clothing es-
adjustment in Boise and much
larger one in Weiser, why not, on
the same principle, act as mayor OF
both cities. The somewhat arduous
duties attending the office would be
more than Offset by the honors at
tached. He coutd make up the diff
ference when he paid his taxes.
There may be some objections to the
idea, but they must be of purely
4 technical character. AS the benefits
of municipal merger as an econo-
mical measure are beyond question
and as mergers are devised in the
interests of the people, we unhesi
tatingly advance tile name of Mr.
Nose Alexander, as the merger can
didate for mayor of Weiser and ex
officio of Boise.

pebts That Must BE Paid.

The up-to-date farmer pays his
debts. One of the debts which he does
not forget is the one he owes TO the
soil. He knows that each crop which
the soil yields takes from IL some.
thing of its fertility. and that. unless
this fertility is returned TO the soil, il
soon can yield only diminished crop,
SO he is very careful, year by year, to
pay back - his land that fertility
which the crops have taken from It.
He will keep his hired help all the
year, and year after year, for the
longer they are kept in HIS employ the
more valuable they are TO him.-Jo-
seeph Carter, in Farmers Voice.

There is an interesting story about
the late Maj. o. l.. Pruden, who was
su, one Of the assist
ant secretaries TO
'"' '""'""' the president, and
go had been & confidential adviser in
almost every cabinet family since Gen.
Grants administration. When he was
a poor boy working in country store
in New Jersey, relates Youths Com
panion, be- developed great skill as
penman. At the beginning Of the civil
war he enlisted in the Eleventh New
Jersey volunteers. When he signed his
name at the recruiting Office the ser
geant was impressed by tile beauty
Of the signature, and detailed him for
duty as clerk to the recruiting officer.
His talents as penman became known
at brigade headquarters. and he was
ordered TO clerical duty at Alexandria,
Va. Later he served in Washington in
the Office OF Col. Holt, judge advocate
general of the army. One day Col. o.
L. Babcock, military secretary to
President Grant, was in the Office Of
the judge advocate general. Pruden
was at his desk, practising some artis-
tie fl0urishes. Unconscious that he
was being observed. he threw on the
floor some Of his experiments with pen
and ink. Col. Babcock picked up one |
Of the scraps, examined it critically, |
and made up his mind that a man with |
such a skillful hand would be valuable |
on the white house staff One Of Maj |
Pruden's best pieces of work was an
engrossed copy Of the constitution Of /
the United States, sent by President
Cleveland to the pope on the celebra-
ton Of the golden jubilee. 1t was con
veyed TO the pope by a special courier
from the United States. II now occu-
pies a conspicuous place in the ar
chives Of the vatican, among the cher
ished souvenirs Of the pope.

Wire Fence Telephones,

We have a telephone line six miles
long, using a wire on fences. To
cross highways we raise the wire on
poles high enough to serve the pur-
pose. Insulators must be used, 100 to
the mile we use. and they cost one cent
each. We have bad no trouble with
breaking of wires by climbing fences,
but we post notices along warning
people not 70 do any damage. Each
farmer inspects the line on HIS own
farm occasionally, TO see that every
thing Is all right. We started with
secondhand phones that cost eight
dollars each, but now buy new ones
for Sl2. With new phones and fence
wire it costs about $3.50 TO install a
phone in the house, and it will cost
about so cents year for maintenance.
We expect to have much more line
by fall.-Farm, Stock and Home.
