who had a son in the railroad busi-

ting her know and disappeared en-
tirely. She was SO very fond of him
that she called every day to find out
about him. Finally 1t aroused our
sympathy and we traced him to
South America, and found he had en-
listed in a regiment and was taking
part in a revolution. We told the old
lady and she calmly replied;

When the East Maine conference
or the Methodist church met last
sr:ing and distributed the ministers
among the churches there were not
enough to go around, and the Cutler
church was placed in the list as Ito
be supplied
superannuated minister preached
for two Sundays and then returned to
his home up country to work in his
garden. Nearly month passed then
without preaching in the church. and
then one Monday forenoon dapper
Well-drcssed man with gray hair and
bright blue eyes put up at the sum-
mer hotel. and divesting himself of
tall collar and frock coat, put on
Enickerbockers and went out into the
village square and began to play
baseball with the young men and boys
who were enjoying vacations along
the shore.
He was good player. No other
man in the country could hit a low
ball SO often as he, and the way he
stole bases was liberal education to
those who were learning the game.
He could pitch fairly we'll but his
chief pride was taken in defending
first base, which he did with such
skill that whole innings passed with
out single man reaching tho first
goal on the road to scoring He played
forenoon and afternoon and until dark
in the evening, and though he was
often sorely veXed by the blunders OF
his associates, 1t was noticed that he
never swOre
When Saturday night came the
boys proposed a Sunday game in a
back lot away from the public streets
and asked the new player to nelp them
out
I'D like to go first rate" he re-
piled cheerfully, but I have a little
game OF my own which I hope you
will attend at 1890 Sunday forenoon.
1t will be held in the church, and there
will be no admission fee. Just come
over and see how get along"
Every boy and man and most Of
the women within three miles of the
village were on hand at the services
.he next forenoon, when it was found
that the Rev. Henry Hardson could
preach as we'll as he could play base
ball, Before he had been in the vii
iaGe month a revival was under
way, and though the baseball games
are continued on the village green
every day with much shouting and
not little vehement expostulation. it
is said that Cutler is the only town
in the world where they play base
ball without the use of profanity
"Old Man Hardison surely made a
home run when he struck Cutler" said
enc of the new converts as he came
out from prayer meeting one evening
last week.
