who is said by the police to be slightly
demented, and whose special mania is
the desire to receive letters, had en-
gagged the postman. as was his custom,
in the usual discussion as to why no
letters had been received by him. The
pOstman smiled and humOred the man.
but he became enraged when letters
were handed to the janitress, Mrs. Nc
Garry. He turned in the woman furi-
ously and tried to snatch the letters
from her hand. She protested, when
Cutter suddenly whipped revolver
from his pocket. 1t is charged. and,
Selling it by the muzzle dealt Mrs. Nc
Garry several TERRIFIC blows on the
head, cutting a severe cash in her fore
head.
The woman fell to the ground under
the blows and became unconscious.
Bournaman, who was passing on the
opposite side of the street, rushed to
her assistance, but when he was with
in three feet of Cutter the latter. the
police state. raised the revolver and
fired point blank at him. Two of the
shots took effect in the left lung of

though they made a thorough search
Of the apartments. could find no trace
Of Gutter. In the meantime an ambn-
lance had been summoned from the
lower hospital. where Bournaman was
taken. Surgeons. after a hasty examin-
alton. said that they did not think the
wounded man would live. Mrs. McGar-
rvs wounds were dressed at her apart
mcnts. she refusing to go to the hos
pital.
The police say Dr. Spooner states
that Cutter was hefriended by the doc

HUMoR IN TEXT OF CLERGY.
Amusing Remarks which Were Mos
cn-.,~,ar.- Tr,rav.ToH

Amusing Remarks Which Were Most
Seriously Intended.
Part of the humor which one occa-
sionally meets with even In the sedate
inclosure Of the pulpits is due to the
queer texts which are sometimes. often
unconsciously. chosen by preachers. No
doubt there are many stories told un
der this head which owe their origin
not to actual fact so much as TO the
invention of the wag For example,
a minister on the Sunday before his
marriage is said to have chosen as his
text. "And he went on his way rejoic
ing" and on the Sunday after his hon
eymoon to have elOquently discourscd
on the words Remember my bonds"
These instances are probably apoc-
ryphal. but the following are true and
have all come within the experience of
the writer II was in the north Of
England that the first incident hap
pencd II was n country church where
oil lamps were used instead Of gas.
One night in the late summer when
the lamps had not Yet been resumed
after the long days it got suddenly
overcast, and before the sermon it was
deemed necessary to light the pulpit
lamp. During the hymn the old sex
ton repaired TO the pulpit and, having
cleaned the glass chimney with a dust
er. lit 1t up. but only feeble light strug-
gled through And then the clergyman
took his text. which was this. And
now we see through a glass darlzly.'
A few years ago a well known bish-
op married his second wife and, re
turning home after his honeymoon, an
nounced q series of sermons, the title
OF the series being "The Penitent's Re
turn" This was obviously uninten-
tional.
There is a church in one Of our large
cities which boasts of a very high pull
pit A short time ago a strange preach
er, who was of nervous tempera-
ment occupied this pulpit but, as the
sequel will show, only for very short
time. for, having taken his text and
said about a dozen words. he startled
his congregation by saying, "As l am
not used to pulpits as high as this. you
will pardon me. know. if l come down
and preach my sermon from the lee
tern" He suited his action to the
words and preached a very good ser
mon from the modest lectern. And
this was his strangely appropriate text,
"He that exalteth himself shall be
abased. and he that humbleth himself
shall he exalted"
One more instance: Not many months
ago a clergyman preached one Sunday
evening from the text, MY words shall
not pass away" Exactly a fortnight
later the same clergyman preached the
same sermon from the same text in
the same church. to the wonderment OF
practically the same congregation. Ev-
identity it was his determination that
at any rate his words should not pass
away from the memory of his hearers.
