 Can Sent Out by His Party in the OIuEHHU OUO0KKH Interest of Politics, But Was Obliged to Holda Revival
BY cY BURT.

meeting tomorrow afternoon to convert the heather of this valley
 What did you do 1t for? I asked him.
 It wasn't any of my doings roared he' I thought I'd make them a speech that would be suitable at the meeting of so many good people and when they'd left we'd take the next train. and pull out or here' because l didn't have the spunk 10 tell them I was not the Reverend Beezer. But instead of that, just as soon as ] wound up them deacons got their heads together, being all worked up over my address, and decided on the revival meeting for the next day. I didn't see how l could make any objections and so had to give my consent. But I'm not going to be bamboozed around like this. I'm going to leave this durned town right away, even if I've got to walk out of the county
 T had some reyivifying stuff in my pocket and gave Job some to strengthen him up little. I was feeling kind of shaky myself in sympathy with Job and so took little myself By and by we both began to feel better and began to see the funny side of the situation. Then We took good laugh and finally decided that no great harm could come if Job did try his hand at a revival meeting the next day. T don't know much religion said he. but what I've got is in ship shape form So we decided to stay.
 Tt was all right for several hours. But when reaction set in Job got an awful fit of dejection and wanted to leave. We can't get out of here now anymore said l, because l just heard the last train for the night pull through and I'll never take chance walking out of this county over all them trestles and through all them , tunnels
 "I finally got Job quieted down and we both climbed into the bed that had been prepared for the Reverend Beezer. But I couldn't sleep because of Job tossing about. He said 1t was just like sleeping in graveyard with all of those religious books lying around. So we both got up again and dozed in chairs until morning. Job wouldn't allow any smoking because he said the odor would get into his clothes and give him away to the congre- gation the next day.
 Well, the next day Job marched up to the church with a hymn book under his arm and took his stand in the pulpit. l feared that he was going to make a bunder by forgetting himself and wan dering off into the subject of politics, but saw determination in his face and knew that he was going to do his best, and he certainly did. It was the best piece of oratory he ever put together, besides being what you would call eracker-jack
 
 with saints and sinners, but before Job got through with his speech they were all repentants. The whole number of them, men and women, boys and girls were weeping with all their might The dea- cons on going around with a papre got thirty new converts
 Job was treated like a perfect hero, but could see that there was anxiety on his face; he was thinking about the Rever- end Beezer and he had good reason We had gone outside the church and the con gregation was crowded around Job when I see fellow in brown duster pull up to one of the hitching posts in a blackboard Any fellow that had been raised in a city would have thought it only farmer, but l. being raised in the country, knew at once that it was the exepected Reverend Beezer and that he must have come through in the blackboard instead of by rail. l managed to give Job the wink, and he on seeing the Reverend Beezer turned pale. He was so scared that he bolted away from the members without making d single word of apology Tc 4 , gether he and I started for the depot pretty lively clip, no doubt much to le amazement of the natives There isn't a train due here for three l hours, said Job. what are we going to do?
 ]" We've got to hoof it, I guess said IL put We can walt alter we get up that mountain at the depot and see what they are going to do. We've got start enough to keep ahead for good many miles,
 But we didn't have any time to spare after climbing up to the depot until we see gang coming down the street on the run Job started to run Hold on a minute said I. it looks as though the Reverend Beezer was getting chased
 Sure enough he was. He was headed for the hills and was stepping 1t off mighty lively, with a yelling crowd after him. l guess they didn't believe his story when he told them he was Rever- end Beezer.
 Job and I both agreed that it was possibly for the best that we move on We walked until night and then jumped freight train and dead headed clean out of Holmes county
 Well, the news got spread of our doings in Holmes county and the state chairman laid us off for the rest of that season. never cared to go back into campaigning any more and Job must have lit out for green pastures As for the peo- pie in Holmes county, l heard they took back Reverend Beezer after they searched the parsonage and found our campaign literature. They now vote the same ticket as before"
