TELLS FUNNY STORY.
Or. Parkhurst Narrates Aneedote Of q
Converted Savage.

DIR. Parkhurst delivered himself of
a story in the course of his sermon
In the Madison Square Presbyterian
church at New York on a recent Sun
day. This is the story:
AN African chief became converted
and moved to London, where he wore
fashionable clothes and behaved in
every way as an irreproachable man.
One day he was giving lecture in a
church on the advantages of a peace
full, civilized life. His collar did not
fit well. and in attempting to adjust 1t
he tore open the buttonhole.
"The ripping shirt band brought
back all his old savagery. and he
shouted out that civilization was all a
sham. and he wished he was back in
his old life. Whereupon he pulled off
his collar, his coat and trousers and
finally stood in the garb of the un-
adorned savage. Then he set fire to
the church and took to the woods.
"lf his buttonhole had been a little
stronger" added DR.. Parkhurst. "he
would probably have remained an ire
proachable man the rest of his life.
That's the way with much OF our
civilization and virtue. A very small
thing will reveal the real conditions"

MiseR's CHART is MISSING.
Paper Showing Location Of Buried

where Conatser had buried his money.
Just before death Conatser gave Thos.

window of his cabin, showed the spot
where much money was buried. He
asked Keyes to dig 1t up. and In an

gold coin. Conatser gave keyes to
understand that each spot on the chart
marked a place where the coin was
concealed.
When II was found necessary to
move the old man to a hospital this
chart and his other papers were sewed

Buys Island for Thirty Cents.

Senator John E. l'ox, Harrisburg.
Pa, owns an island in the Susuue-

was purchased for thirty cents. The
island was formed by the gradual
accumulation of sand and alluvial de-
posit. 1t contains one acre and forty
four percbes. Senator Fox filed a
formal claim for it, and the Internal
Affairs department has decided that
the property is his. The price paid
under the law was the regulation
thirty cents. The senator will shortly
take steps to make extensive improve
ments on his new holdings.
