from the train, being charged with
having murdered sAr. Bowser for the
sake of robbing him of his new pair
of suspenders, declared on his oath
that he was as innocent of crime as
Tom Platt or Governor Odell.
AS he was Harvesting his horses he
was startled by a groan near at hand.
He was an expert on groanS, but he
believed this groan to have been
groaned by a man who had built up
fond hopes about some idea and then
found them suddenly shattered.
Asked why he did not investigate,
he replied that it was his duty to
serve twenty-eight customers with
milk at seven cents a quart, and that
if he should stop to investigate all
the groans he heard in the course of
the year he would lose half his trade.
He also acknowledged that he was
not one of those who charged up
San Juan hill. and that groans al
ways affected his courage.
Weary Willie Baker, a gentleman
in reduced circumstances, who was
passing the night in a shed in the
alley, being taken by the neck by
policeman and Topped around for five
minutes, remembered of looking over
into the Bowser yard just before re-
firing for the night Why he looked
he could not say, except that look
ing into back yards was part of his
antics as a reduced gentleman.
What he saw or thought he saw was

a wifely, reasonable way. 1 don't want
you to think I'm half FOOL
Il can see no possible objection to
your trying it, replied Mrs. Bowser,
land I surely hope it will effect cure.
Now that 1 come to think of it have
noticed your head webbing and your

Mr.. Bowser had had several back
yard experiences and he didn't pro-
pose to repeat them. He waited I'M
til eleven o'clock and then, as the
town had grown quiet and every small
boy seemed sound asleep, he prepared
himself for the cure, and clothed only
in shirt, trousers and slippers he des-
cended to the back yard and took
his seat on an old chair where the full
moon could hit him fair on the back.
He was to give the cure one hour on
the first trial, and Mrs. Bowser went
to bed leaving him and the cat thrown
out in the moonlight like two statues
carved out of chalk. Two hours had
passed when she woke up with f1utter-
ing heart, and running through to the
back window she looked out. The cat
lay asleep on the chair, but there was
no Mr.. BowSer. She called out, but
there was no answer. She descended
to the kitchen and the back door, but
the man with the wobbly head
had vanished off the face of the
earth. After waiting a full hour she
decided to take steps, and below are
recorded the results:

James Thompson. hoscer sleep
ing in a barn on the opposite side of
the alley, stated that he was out with
the boys until midnight and upon his
return home he saw a ghostly object
in Mr.. Bowser's back yard. He heaved
a brickbat at the said C. O., and
thought he heard swearing, but cannot
be certain. Then chill of fear struck
him and he got into the barn as quick
ly as possible.
John Clubem, policeman No. "a,
who had the Bowser block for his
beat that night, being duly sworn, said
that he was twenty-seven years old
and engaged to a cook named Annie
Thompson. At midnight that night he
passed the house in hopes that Annie
might be sitting at her window read
ing a novel. All of a sudden, as he
had saved up enough money to take
them to Niagara Falls on their bridal
tour, he heard a crash as of some one
falling over an ash barrel, and then
all was still again. AS he is a near
sighted man and sometimes clubs the
butcher by mistake for the baker, he
cannot be sure of seeing any living
thing in the alley at the hour named,
but has a strong impression that
man did gallop past him soon after
the crash. Has had several disputes
with Mr. Bowser, but has no feelings
of revenge, and had he killed him
in the alley would at ONCE have noti-
fed Mrs. Bowser and entered into ex-
plantations.

The cat who mad been sitting be-
tween them and watching the moon
through half-open eyes, walked down
the steps and out on the grass to
laugh to himself. and Mrs. Bowser
couldn't help but smile as she said:
"Too much brain work is a bad thing.
You shouldn't nave applied yourself SO
closely. So this specialist says it has
affected your nerves."
He does. If nothing is done 1 shah

reply.

RELIGIOUS THOUGHT.
Gems Cleaned From the Teachings

| CHRIST'S SPIRITUAL KINGDOM.

ESAUS OF TODAY.
Across the ravine for every man and
every church there is an Esau. He
is coming with his wild followers,
threatening to destroy everything we
hold sacred and dear. The Esau of
the world is the love of money. which
threatens to swamp the love of souls.
Rev. c. M. Sheldon, Congregational
list, Topeka, Kan.
PATRIOTISM.
No man is a patriot unless he loves
and faithfully serves his country to-
day. The most heroic man on the bat
tlefield of years ago, if living now,
deserves anything but the name of
patriot unless he is living in compli
ance with the laws of his country,
giving to her the devotion that is her
due and faithfully serving her highest
interests as he understands them
Rev. F. c. Priest, Universalist, Chi
cago.
LOVE BETTER THAN FORCE.
The highest human victories are
moral. To use the fist is the triumph
of the physical man, to conquer and
use the brain is the victory of the in
tellectual, but to bring every thought
and feeling and fancy Of the soul into
enduring captivity to the obedience of

last conquest of the moral man.-Rev.

Washington.

doing that he became truly great

GODS REQUEST
To be certain of satisfactory results
God asks that we work in him as he
suggests. 1t is our privilege to realize
his presence. We do not serve a God
who is far away, but one who is here

control. If he is for us he is more than
all who can be against us. The indy

THE CHURCH AND REFORM.
There have been times in the history
of the church when she has wrought
nightly in great reforms, but today
the dominant characteristic of the
church is timidity; her dominant policy
is to be as noncommittal as possible
and her aim to keep out of trouble as
far as possible. So long as that atti-
tude is maintained the church will new
er have any force. No reforms will be
effected. If the church made up her

A New Remedy and a Mysterious
Disappearance.

That Mr.. Bowser was going to spring
something new on her Mrs. Bowser felt
assured long enough before he got
around to open his mouth about it. He
was furtive, perturbed and uneasy, and
he let a dozen different mosquitoes bite
him as they sat on the front steps in

special complaint. At length the full
moon arose, and his opportunity had
come.

off. He therefore sacrificed pride to
