Smearing whole wheat with kerosene

Fowls do not run together in large

we'll remember one .Abner-so he was
always called in his town. Abner was
the wit of the village, and he was
commonly selected to take charge Of
funerals because he was about the
only man in town who had time hang
Ing on his hands. A citizen died, man
who never amounted to much, who
was never positively wicked, because
that would have required more OF an
effort than he was willing to make
He was, however, far enough from be
ing good citizen. and Abner knew II
us well as anybody else.
Abner was requested to ask certain
minister to conduct the service, and he
hitched up his old horse and drove to
his house. The minister said he would
attend and then tried to get a little in
formation concerning the late lament,

What sort Of man was hef'' he
asked.
"Well about the same as no sort Of
man at ALL" replied Abner frankly.
II suppose his loss will be deeply
felt in the community" said the min

They're all bearing up well under

"Was he a Christian?" asked the
minister.
"If he'd been accused Of It, the YER
dict would have been not guilty and
the jury wouldn't have left their seats -
replied Abner cheerfully.
,~"Did he attend church" asked the
minister a bit anxiously.
II never heard Of his doing it." said
Abner.
How did he dep continued the
minister.
"Just the same as he lived, sort of
naturally" said Abner.
II don't see how I'm to preach much
of sermon under such ctrcumstances,' -
said the minister.
"The neighbors all said they didn't
think they wanted much Of a sermon

said Abner.
The minister pocketed his wrath and

WEAKNESS
Will Be Made Too
Prominent.
Secretary Moody's Chal.
Ienge to the Press
Will Make Public Army and Navy
Defects.

Washington, Aug. 5-One inevitable
result Of the coming joint manoeuv-
res of the army and navy will be the
publication to the world Of defects in
both services. Several weeks ago Of
ments expressed their surprise and dis
appointment that the subject Of the
manoeuvres was not receiving more
attention from the public press. Now.
IL there is any anxiety on this score,
1t Is in the other direction.
Since the issuance Of Secretary
Moody's good natured challenge to the
press in which he said he would con-
slider it common enemy to be avoid
ed by both contestants in the big war
game, much news regarding the pre-
parations for the affair has reached
the public. Already a discussion is
on as to the alleged weakness of the
coast defense.
Whatever may be the outcome of
the manoeuvres, foreign powers are
bound to be considerably enlightened
regarding the army defenses and the
efficiency of the navy. Full reports
will be made by the officers to their
chiefs and these will be embodied in
the reports of the secretaries of war
and the navy to the President Such
reports will be composed largely of
recommendations which will call for
more money from the national treas
ury. AS yet it is too early to predict
precisely the defects to be discovered,
but appropriateness of coast defenses,
lack of experionced officers and men in
the artillery corps and the like are
known to exist.

A CLERGYMAN'S
SAD HISTORY
Once Influential. He Bess For
Food From Former Pensioners.

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 5.-"From the
pulpit to the gutter would make a
title for a true story Of the life Of Rev.
John g. Hefter, formerly rector OF the
Episcopal church in Carlinville. Twelve
years ago Rev. Hefter, a highly cuI.
tured, well read polished gentleman,
directed his oratorical powers and in
fiuences against evil, especially intem-
perance. But his career was brought
to a sudden termination when diff.
Guilty arose at a private boarding house
where he was stopping, occasioned by
the lady Of the house, who
discovered the Qf possible) od-
or of strong drink on his breath. He
became indignant and left the house.
The news spread, the church became
disrupted and the handsome young
minister was dismissed and left the
city.
Yesterday Hefter appeared at the
rear door of one of the most prominent
and best known residents of Carlinville,
tattered and torn, and asked for food
and discarded clothing. The maid in,
formed her mistress and was directed
to care for him. In leaving the man.
sion he was recognized by relative of
the lady Of the house, who interro.
gated him. He at first disclaimed any
knowledge of the city or It's inhabi
tants, but when called by name, con-
fessed all and told the story of his life.
The lady who had directed that he be
fed was baptized in his church and
he had heard her marriage vows al
his altar.

THE GREAT JOKE, DEATH.
Funny Side of Dying Often Treated
- of In Literature.

Eunny SIDE OF Dying Often treated
- of In Literature.
"Death," said publisher, "has been
treated humorously in our literature
often. Indeed I am quite sure that a
collection of many thick volumes might
be made under the title of Deaths
Funny Side Thomas Hood was one
Of our best writer's Of this sort of
verse. Don't you remember his ballad
on the young sailor who died heart
broken over his girls unfaith? The
last stanza was:
'.IIis death, which happened in his berth,
At forty odd befell:
They went and told the sexton. and
The sexton tolled the bell.
"Hood did another ballad on the SUBJ
ject of a soldier who lost both legs in
battle, who was in consequence Tilted
by his sweetheart and who then hung
himself. Now, that is rather tragic, is
1t not? 1t has a bizarre but none the
less poignant tragic note. Guy de
Maupassant indeed once handled al
most this same situation, but he han
died 1t from the opposite viewpoint,
and don't you remember how he mar
rated the first, the crucial, meeting of
the lovers after Ben Battles double
amputation?
"But when he called on Nellie Gray
She made him quite a scott
And when she saw his wooden legs
Began to take them off.
"This treatment drove Ben to de-
spair:
$50 round his melancholy neck
rope he did entwine
And for the second time In life
Enlisted In the line.
"And there he hung till he was dead
As any nail In town:
For, though despair had cut him UP.
It could not cut him down.
'Therc is tremendous literature Of
humorous epitaphs. There must be, l
fancy, 10000 of these, but two Of them
are all can recall. The first goes:
"Here lies the body OF mild Maria;
She went one day to start the fire.
But the wood was green.
So she used kerosene.
And now she's where the fuel is drier.
"The other is grimmer:
'Iife is a lie, and all things show It:
thought so once, and now know it.
"Then there are songs on the side
splitting aspects of death, some of
which have caused tender hearted la
dies to double up with mirth. Johnny
Jones and His Sister Sue is one such
song. and ! bet that six people out of
ten in America know 1t by heart.
eyes" the publisher concluded, "un-
der the title of Deaths Funny Side an
anthology of many, many volumes
could be made. The anthology should
be bound in black pigslSin, with grin
ming skulls and crossbones fooled in
gold on it."-Philadelphia Record.

For Miss Beatrice
McCue.
Her Singing Pleased a
Big Audience.
Excellent Performance at Lake.
side Casino.

The interest of the big audience
which attended the performance at
Lakeside casino Monday night was
centered largely on Miss Beatrice Nc
Cue, who is singing there this week,
having completed her engagement with
the opera company with which she had
been for several months in the East.
Those who had heard Miss McCue be-
fore her departure for the East last
spring knew what treat was in store
for them. and those of the audience
who had not heard this gifted young
woman before were treated to de-
-lightful surprise.
Her work and the training she has
recently received show in her perform
ance. and the applause that greeted
her songs last night must have been
very gratifying to Miss McCue, who
knows full we'll how exacting is an
Akron audience. Hers is a rich, full
contralto; it shows great power when
power is required and is modulated,
soft, appealing or soothing as the
singer wills. Her songs were listened
to breathlessly last night and her ap-
pearance was a distinct triumph for
this young Akron woman.
Her singing was marred, in the esti-
nation of some of the audience, by
the fact that ushers were permitted
to place chairs loudly on the floor dur
ing her singing, and no attempt was
made to prevent people from coming
in during the performance at any time.
An innovation which would be greatly
appreciated by theatre goers would be
the closing of the doors during any
performance, for it is unfair to the
audience and to performers to have
people walking noisily to their seats,
or obstructing the view of those who
are not seated right in front, at any
or all times during the show.
The show, however, was good
throughout and many little novelties
were introduced here and there, show.
