PRAYER SAVED BEN BUTLER.
His Long Petition When a School
Boy Averted Punishment.

bO1 ANGTNcu TuUlotU1Cnhs
Now that General Buffers familiar
form has gone from us, "reminiscences
of his boyhood days before his indom-
table will and courage had won for
him the fame of his manhood, are in
order. Among others the following
amusing story is told of his college
life:
Ben" received his college educa.
tion in Colby, and is remembered in
Waterville, as a good-natured studi-
Gus youth. and rather fond of Joke.
One day there came to that small
Maine village a jeweler from Boston,
who started shop in the neighbor-
hood of the college. He had rather
a good opinion Of himself, and by his
arrogance managed to bring upon his
well creased head the ire of the col
lege boys.
One night his sign disappeared, and
the jeweler, suspecting the collegians,
complained to the faculty, and a
search Of the college dormitory was
Immediately instituted. AS luck
would have It. Ben" was the guilty
youth and hearing the faculty max
ing the rounds and having the sought
for sign on the wall of his room,
with its daring letter staring him in
the face, the affair looked rather Sc
rious.
But his quick wit came to his res
cue, and, hastily kindling a fire, he
thrust the sign into the CRATE and
smiled at his own ingenuity. But,
alasl the sign was tough and burned
all too slowly, while the search party
could be heard drawing nearer and
nearer What was to be done to
escape the impending calamity.
Suddenly there popped into Ben's
mind regulation of the faculty In
the terms of which 1t was forbidden
that a students room. should be en-
tered for any purpose whatsoever
while it's occupant was engaged in
prayer SO, dropping on his knees
near the door, Ben commenced long
petition, telling his roommate to
tend the fire and to pull his coat
tails when all vestiges of the jewel
er's sign had disappeared.
Soon steps were heard in the hall,
which stopped in front of his room.
What was that that reached them
through the key hole? A voice raised
in earnest prayer seeking forgiveness
of sins, past, present and future, for
blessings on those present and on
those who would fain be within. Mean.
time the sign was lowly but surely
burning, while the labor of his ex
ertlon was bringing out the perspira.
tion on Ben's brow.
The faculty waited with bowed
heads for the conclusion of his ap.
parently interninable prayer.
At last it came, and at the follow
ing words the door opened, exposing
pious inmates just rising from their
knees:
"And an unrighteous generation
shall seek for a sign. but no sign
shall be given them. Boston Herald.

one could come to describing it Is to
say that the manner and rate at which
it burns is midway between that of a
straw placed in a hotbed and wood be-
ing converted into charcoal. The kiro
never becomes too hot to hold in ones
hands, nor yet too mild to render it Of
little service for heating purposes. A
large number of people in this city use
them for warming beds, for they can
be placed under the cover and left for
an indefinite period, without the
slightest danger of the heat becoming
intense enough to set fire to the bed
clothes. Those who for the past seve-
raj years have tried hard to initiate
in this country have failed for the rea-
son that they have been unable to find
fuel having the peculiar properties of
that made by the Japs. The fuel made
in this country either smokes, burns
too fast or too slow, too hot or too
cold, or else gives forth a disagreeable
odor.
Last spring, when one Of the geolog-
ical survey expeditions started for
Alaska, the chief Of the party pur-
chased thirty Of these kiros and 300
packs of fuel. On his return he stated
that they had been Of enormous value,
and that time and again they had been

fering from the cold and preventing
