In one sale of this kind the ladies werc somewhat disconcerted by receiving two coffins. as donation from a generous hearted undertaken. Just how tc dispose of this lugubrious gift was a alter of grave importance, but t'its an ill wind that blows nobody any good" and 1t hap pened that these coffins were of the first pattern ever made. pointed at each end, or canoe shaped. and of solid iron. One was sold to a seeker after curios, the other to the museum department of a well known university.
 Solomon was a wise man, but he didn't know about a rummage ssle.

has held for many years, and we sincere
 ly hope he wfli hold for many more. pro- viding 1t is his desire to do so. He stands high in the estimation Of our of-
 tciais. whom he chooses to term as
 white folks," and we really think they are. He has been e member of the B. of l.. B. for eighteen years, and we do not think a more zealous, real Brother hood man could be found anywhere, as he loves particularly to dwell upon the word brotherhood, when reminding us of our duty, and the necessity of being true and loyal to the Brotherhood. He is at present the local chairman of Division 4ss, was President of the council of Rail- way Organizations and also took an ac- tive part in arranging for the grand union meeting. which was held in Montgomery. Ala. on June 2. 1905.
 He is never too sleepy or tired to go at any hour. day or night, to render a kindness to a Brother, or any other that might call upon him. The latchstring of his home hangs on the outside of the door. and he bids you come and enjoy such as he and his dear wife have in this life. His popularity is well deserved, and we know that our storehouses of knowl- edge are not sufficiently filled to portray properly the life and character of Brother Conner. however, among the hundreds who will see this picture. there will be many to whom further comment would be entirely unnecessary.
 Brother Corners home life is in every way in keeping with his standing among his fellowmen. He and his good wife have pleasant smile and a hearty well come for all. and their home is no strange place to their friends and acquaintances.
 We all hope for him and his wife many years of continued health and happiness, and when he makes his last trip in the train of life. we hope he will be a pas- senger on the train which leads to the Grand Union Station above, and there meet the Grand Chief of the universe, where We feel he will receive his just re- ward.

HUMOROUS TO Divine
Bob Burdette Tells How the
Change Feels.
HUMOROUS EXPRESSIONS
Eli Perkins Tells His Views on
the Matter.

Mr.. Burdette, in the New York Herald,
tells how he turned from humorist to
preacher as follows:
And so the Herald wants TO know how
it feels to turn from a humorist into a
preacher" Wei, probably the transition
isn't so much of a shock as one might
think It depends upon ones idea OF the
hurnorist and the preacher. ] have read
some lasting sermons by Tom Hood and
Charles Lamb and Oliver Wendell Holmes
and l have seen Mr.. Beecher's congreSa-
ton smile to say the least. l think Cough
was pretty good preacher. but he has
made me laugh many a time. Speaking
TO a class OF theological students, Mr.
Beecher once said. replying to the ques-
ton whether it was proper 70 say any
thing in a sermon that would make peo-
pie laugh"
Never turn aside from laugh any
more than you would from q cry. So
ahead on your Masters business. and do
it well. And remember this. that every
faculty in you was placed there by the
dear Lord God for His service. Never try
70 raise a laugh for laughs sake. or TO
make merry as a piece of seusationalism
when You are preaching on solemn things.
But If mirth comes up naturally do not
stiie it II when YOU are arguing any
question the thing comes upon you so that
you see the point in a ludicrous light you
can sometimes fash 1t at your audience
and accomplish at a stroke what you were
seeking to do by long train or argument.
and that IS entirely allowable In such
case do not attempt 10 suppress laughter
II is a part OF the nature God gave US
and which we can use in his service
when you are lighting the devil shoot
aim with anything
AS matter Of fact. my sermons are
anything but humorous. l have far less
liberty in that direction that have other
preachers. II l told one funny story in
the pulpit il would be magniied into a
score When / was pastor Of the First
PRESBYTERIAN Church. in Pasadena, II was
currently reported by some people who
never went 20 that church that any time
you went by that Presbyterian church
during the hour OF service you could hear
the people clapping hands and roaring
with laughter at my jokes.
. There wasn't a syllable Of truth in it
but such things have a SOLDERING effect on
me l don't dare 20 be so funny in the
pulpit as many OF my ministerial. brethren
And this is a grievous disappointment 10
some of my hearers.
My first pastorate was in the state OF
New York. in the summer OF 1885. I was
pastor OF a Baptist church. at Pond y. +"

Bob the humorist can tell that Will throw

Cook the theologian:

The mother went on with her meDding
and did not speak.
Say, mother. can I have one?"
mo, my dear child. you cannot"
why, mamma? Say why" repeated
the child pettishly.
Still there was no answer.
Il know the reason; it is because we are
poor" said the little girl. with a frown.
Il hate TO be poor and not have pretty
things like Jennie why are we so poor.
mother? Say why"
We are not poor. Abby said the
mother. We have ali the comforts Of
life"
Then why
Wait a moment. Abby. and / will tell
you why, said the patient mother.
When Jesus. who has all power in
heaven and earth was Graded in man
ger and in manhood had nowhere to lay
His head. why should you, my child. have
that sunny little room with a soft bed,
and all those pretty little things about
you? Why? Say why. my dear child. 3"
Little Abby thought moment OF the
- - r-s hr-
lessness OF His manhood: then she drop
ped her head and blushed with shame
She went up TO her own little room. The
sun was shining through the white cur
tains. her pillow looked pure as snow
and the room Itself seemed like one in q
fairy palace. She wandered 10 herself.
This isn't much like a manger. We are
not as poor as our SavioGs and His moth

Humorists like Burdette, Eugene Field,
Riley and Will Carleton often get closer
to the truth than the orthodox preachers.
One day. when Bob Burdette was
licensed. but not ordained to preach, he
was describing a dear old Methodist
preacher who had been talking TO the Sab
bath school children about patience.
Children" said the venerable preacher.

your angry passion rise Now. children.

Before ! experienced religion, children.
I'd get angry at that fly. I'd say naughty
words. But now nothing disturbs me.

Burdette has a way of stating the truth
so accurately that he wiz put the Chris
tan In good humor. To illustrate this he
once gave me an account OF how he start
ed his first newspaper. Previous TO going
on the Hawkeye the humorist had estab-
lished a newspaper in Peoria. One day l
asked him how his Peoria paper succeed
