this new member, and gladly made
him their leader.
One day a strange sight was seen in
Elton. A small procession walking
two and two toward the infested dis
trict, that in the mouth of two wit
nesses the truth might be estabis he'd,
the ministers visited the saloons and
noted the particulars of the violations
of law. As consequence large Lum-
Der of the worst places were served
with injunctions.
In one of the beautiful homes of FL
ton lived a weighty member of the
Liquor Dealers association. The home
had been literally built of blood mon
ey, but it gave no external sign. Every
thing which money and taste could
supply was added to it from time to
time, and the serpent of the still had
apparently stayed its curse at the
threshold.
Nick Long severed the connection
completely as possible, and the echoes
of the saloon were never allowed to
penetrate the richly furnished parlors
of his house.
AS his lovely little girl came running
to meet him, in$her pretty gowns and
dainty shoes, he could not bear that
she should know that other little girls
just as sweet and dear as she were
hungry, cold, ragged and barefooted,
because he had the fathers earnings
in his Unsuitable till in exchange for
the drink which held him in chains of
poverty and degradation; so the saloon
was little spoken of in the home, and
only as the "Place," an ambiguous
tenn which drew veil of respectable
ity over one of the worst resorts in
town.
Nick Long had gained his "start" in
the mines, far away from the re-
straints of civilization. He was one of
those runaway boys who rebel against
the Christian home, and the authority
of Christian father, but run from it
as he might, he could never quite down
the living conscience to which those
years of early training had given
birth.
1t was in response to this inward
monitor that he concluded to come
back to the states and "settle down"
when he had gained a moderate com
petence. Genial of manner, and well
dressed, he had no difficulty in win
ming a wife from among the daughters
of responsibility. Having no trade, he
naturally invested his money in that
branch of commerce with which he
was most familiar, and bidding con-
science be still, he went into the bust
ness of wrecking souls.
In his inmost heart Nick Long adj
mired brave man, and when the little
minister came into his Place, and qui-
city but firmly told him what the law
proposed that he and his fellows
should do, he did not buster nor
threaten. He looked curiously at him,

DRAMA AT ENNIS
GULCH
BY PAUL p. HARRIS.
IOriginal.l

LIVERY miner in the gulch, barring
II Eddie Grim, who was deaf, dumb
and half blind, was on the tip-toe of
expectancy. There never had been a
theatrical troupe in the gulch nor had
the most visionary of its four score
inhabitants thought there ever would
be.
Kansas Joe allowed that no such
event could be pulled off. Women

ley, who had been married four times
while living in civilization, reckoned
women had done stranger things afore
now; and Billy Ennis, son of the late
Old Man Ennis, who first discovered
the rich deposits in the gulch, and who
died with his boots on, few months
subsequent to the discovery, the re-
suit of carelessness in not ''pulliD'
fust," calculated that there was no ac-
counting for tastes.
Kansas Joe's reputation as a shrewd
judge of human nature was destined
to be shattered, for. on the day ap-
pointed, a scraggy, weather-beaten lit
tie band of barn stormers appeared.
Joe wished that he hadn't been so
"sartin," but felt almost repaid for
his loss of reputation when he saw
the evolution of theater from the
old warehouse.
The manager of the company was
not at all tenderfoot, and had had his

THE LITTLE MINISTER.
Story of How He Won the Fight
Against the Saloons in His
Pretty Town.

The beautiful town of Elton had its
curse. Its streets were broad and de-
lightfuIly shaded, its business houses
were fine and prosperous, factories
and industries of all sorts gave en-
ployment to its inhabitants, and many
churches offered their sacred influ-
ences.
Was it any wonder that Satan en-
We'd so fair a spot for his own? 1t
came to pass that saloons multiplied
with the growth of the place, and with
their carefully screened windows, con-
venient back entrances, music and
warmth, enticed young men within
their doors. There were wine rooms
also where foolish young girls might
be tempted to take their first steps
toward moral death.
The council, the mayor, the press,
were dominated by the mightiness OF
the Liquor Dealers association, and
anything it wanted was granted as a
matter of necessity. The city IA
theirs" quietly tabled any petitions
looking toward reform, an earnest APP
peal from the mothers for a curfew or
dinance among the rest, and evil rioted
merrily, and Satan laughed.
There was also Ministerial associa-
ton, bound hand and foot by mex
orable custom, a seemingly hopeless
minority. They saw and heard, they
prayed and preached against the evil,
while the majority laughed in its
sleeve.
There came a day when a new ele-
ment was added to the association, a
st. Paul among men, an absolutely
fearless man, whose motto was:
''This one thing do, wherever he saw
a duty before him. His brother min
listers recognized the quiet strength

Steamer Hestia Encounters Huge Pill
lars of Water Near Cape Hatteras
But Escapes.

Capt. Ferguson, of the steamship
Hestia, from Cuba, reports an eXcit-
ing experience. When $50 miles
south of Cape Hatteras the ship ran
into a terrific rain and electrical
storm. To windward were seen seven
waterspouts forming and rushing to-
ward the ship. Although it was es-
timated they were half a mile off, the
roar was plainly audible.
Six of the spouts failed to form,
and their columns broke and fell into
the sea. But the remaining spout
gathered force and volume and
rushed in its spiral course toward
the Hestia. Capt. ferguson ordered
the course changed, but that seemed
to draw the rushing liquid pillar
more toward the ship. Capt Fergu-
son then ordered every man off the
deck.
The ship quivered as the huge col
umn of water struck it. The spout
crossed the deck between the house
amidship and the cabin, in a dag
onal streak. 1t tore the canvas hatch
coverings away, but, beyond the
quivering of the steamer under the
great weight there was no serious
damage.

extracted and decided to take gas. The
doctor administered the hypnotic and
the man soon appeared to be under
its influence, but he continued to keep
one eye open. This worried the doctor
and he gave the man more gas; still
the eye remained open. "Shut that
