Tragedy of a Loose Board.

The court house crowd is telling a
good story on one of their number. This
gentleman lives On a farm and occasion
ally does a little work around home lie
has large water tank, and the tank
leaks, and he has hogs-you know the
rest. The hogs made such a wallow
around the tank that the only way TO
reach it was over a board fence. The
owner has long white hair and whskers
in which he takes great pride He decided
to stop the leak in the tank. so one
Sunday afternoon took a rag, plug and
q hammer and started to make his way
20 the tank over the board fence. He
reached the tank all right and while
hanging by his feet, was driving the plug
home when something happened. The top
board ripped off and the man with the
white whiskers found himself on his
back in a bout 16 inches of mud as thin
as paint. He scrambled out at best he
could and went to the house expecting
sympathy from his wife but when he
reached the door, he experienced another
surprise She took him for a hobo and
called the dogs. However, before they
arrived on the scene he managed by pan
tomaine 20 prove that he was her worthy
husband The tank is still leaking.

ception that enabled him to make known
the unseen He had extraordinary clair
voyant and clairaudent gifts and through
these qualities he made many loyal souls
happy.
He believed in the Bible and taught
from it, and as near as possible. he lived
the Christ life. The world has just lost
the loved and revered head of a great
church, but the death of Pope Leo XIII
is not more sincerely mourned than is the
departure of cur late friend and pastor
Of this church, the Rev. Ira Moore couF-
lis He taught liberation for all relig-
ions Of Christ. That he was not recog-
nized by the world at large is owing to
the fact that Spiritualism is persistently
misunderstood.
"Spiritualists believe that the angels
guarded Christ's sepulcher; they believe
that He appeared to His dieiples; they
believe that the body is of the ear. and
the soul if of God. All Of this the sew
eral Christian churches believe. But the
Spiritualists further. They believe
that spirits make themselves known 10
those left in the flesh. now, as well as
nineteen centuries ago Mr.. Courlis be-
heved this and taught il.
And so it is, my friends. Our pastor
believed in a soul and Immortality. He
has passed beyond. He proved his be-
lief while on earth. He experiences 1t
now. We look upon this lifeless clay
and we ask it where the soul has gone
1t is dumb. We ask the stars. and they
are dumb.
My friends, if we could only open our
spiritual eyes, we would see at this mo-
ment, gathered around this casket, white
ROBBED spirits. They are here, filing this
cathedral with their presence. And
among them is our brother and pastor,
who would utter TO you words of SYM
pathy for the grief you feel, and exhort
you to be happy in the knowledge that he
has gone TO a higher state. He is what
the world calls dead, but. my friends, his
death bed was happy. He was not afraid
of the grim presence. He looked upon
death as a deliverer.
I'VE are all sentenced to death, my
friends. Not one has escaped that mex
orable decree since the beginning of ere
alton, but we should not look upon death
with feelings of horror. The hour Of
death is the hour which tries mems souls,
but to US who know the beyond, it should
be welcomed"

p. n, Alexander. Genius.

p. H. Alexander used to live in Wich-
tia He is a great genius. The Enter
prise gives the following account of his
ingenuity:
Recently the Enterprise force was
greatly worried. The big roller of the
news press was overcome with the heat.
A vicious tumour had formed upon one
end. which necessitated very danger
Gus surgical operation. The services of
p II. Alexander were engaged, and with
red hot wires he attempted to reduce the
swelling When he had finished the oper-
alton. two more tumours had formed
He said that was owing to the definite
combination of rebelIious fluids that sim
ultaneously. successfully and persistently
refused to solidify. And that wasn't all
he said. Alexander can say things about
a hot roller that would surprise any
body He does it with so much express
sion and feeling, too. In that respect
he is the best foreman that ever came to
Iawton.
Toward six O'Clock his patient was rest
ing better and he was sure that all that
was needed now was a quiet, cool place
to lie in He himself can lie almost any
place any time. but what he wanted was
a cool place for the roller. So he took
his patient across the street 10 the New
port bar and begged hard TO place the
poor sick thing in the refrigerator. The
proprietor looked at the black. habby
degenerate of roller and said he wasn't
running a hospital.
But Alexander looked so sad and so
many other colOrs that he finally got
permission to stand the roller in the beer
cooler. 1t was ten o'clock. however. be-
fore the paper went 10 press.
