The little town of Bethlehem. Penn,

known as "Ranting'' Ranker, who had
been educated beyond his intelligence
and was at times Historically fanatic
says the Philadelphia Ledger. His
strange doings were as numerous as
they were we'll known, but probably
the widest freak was during the last
year of his eventful life.
The quiet little village was deep in
slumber one night when it was aroused
by peal after peal from the bell in the
Moravian Church. Men and women
rushed from every side to put out
the supposed fire, and the local fire
brigade sailed forth with all its para
phernalia. The crowd assembled about
the church, but the bell never ceased
its frantic summons. At last a dele
cation was sent up to see who the
ringer was. 'Ranting" Banker stood
there, half naked, pulling the bellrope
with all his strength.
What is it? Where's the fire?" was
their excited query.
Fire in hell! Fire in hell" shout
ed the jealous old preacher. land if
