The Pr~ncher.. mrror.

In the early days Of Springfield 9
preacher bought some sausage foa
lunch one Sunday and took It to church
with him. He carried the sausage IN
the back pocket OF his coat, and dog.
catching the scent, followed him. Ev-
cry few feet the preacher would kick
backward at the dog without looking
around Arriving at church. the preach
er began the services. and the dog lay
down behind the altar.
A few minutes later one OF the dea-
cons stole quietly up behind the preach
er, intending to hand him a sheet Of
paper, and pulled his coat tail. With
out glancing back the preacher gave
one vicious kick and sent the deacon
rolling down the altar steps on to the
dog, which set up a terrible bowling.
The preacher, stu looking straight
ahead, said:
MY friends, this thieying scoundrel
has been trying to rob me ever since 1
made a purchase at the butcher shop
before coming here"
When the preacher discovered what
he had done he dismissed the congre-
| CATION and went outside to kick the
dog.-Sedalia CMo) Democrat.

An Incident That Gives an Insight
Into Russian Character.
A few years ago l was taking
country walk IA Kovno. The road lay
through a dense forest, and the day
was oppressively hot arrived at last
at a crossroad and sat down under the
shade OF the trees TO rest. A signpost
pointed its two arms down the con-
verging roads. On one OF them was in
scribed "l4 versts to Janova," on the
other 1T versts to Shadowa." Present
ly the creaking OF wheels and the slow
"clop, clop" OF a horses hoofs on the
road behind reused me. A cart piled
high with tinware was coming down
the road. with the driver perched on
the top OF the load.
Good day, brother" called out as
the cart with its sorry horse, came
abreast OF me. The man returned my
salute, and the horse, glad OF any ex-
cuse TO rest his weary legs. came to a
standstili In the middle OF the road.
which way are you goingY' / asked.
ITO Janova. There is a market there
tomorrow"
''But there is also market In Sha-
dowa," / answered, "and II is more
important place than Janova."

with perfect indifference.
''What have you for saler'
PLENTY Of good tlnware. as you can
see. brother. have worked for six
weeks to make this CARLOAD"
''Well, good luck to you and your
tinware," l said, pulling and eating the
berries within reach. ''Wil you take II
to Janova OF ShadowaT
The man picked up the bit OF cord
which served as reins and prepared to
go on.
"I shall leave that to my horse" he
answered callously.
The numbering wagon moved or and
finally passed out OF sight down the
Janova road, which the horse had elect.
