For several days before the compile
ton OF the invention. the clerk had had
his mental vision fixed on the subjects
for a wholesale experiment. These were
several Of the most prominent followers
Of Elder BlOwhorn and the doctrines by
bin taught at the camp. just out OF
town.
By some means. the clerk had learned
that. owing to the limited number OF
sieeping-tents. and the unexpected ar
rival of large delegation Of believers
from other localities. a number OF the
brethren were obliged to pass the night
on cots In the large audience tent in
which services were held ir the day

lection of saints the clerk resolved to
experiment.
Not that they lacked in health OF mus

robes prevented their l0comotion. and
all they could do was TO scramble 10
theii feet and tumble down again, fight
ing all the time like demons in bags.
Each thought himself the victim OF
Joke upon the part of his neighbor and
was fully determined TO get even for the
unseemy meddling with his sacred
probobscis.
Frightened at the unexpected work
ings Of his inventions the clerk endeav-
ored to escape in the darkness, but only
succeeded in getting into the very midst
of the melee. where he speedily found
himself beaten and rolled on scandal
ously.
Two saints. finding that he had not

the rest. who speedily suspended hos
tilities. The lantern was relighted, and
in spite Of the struggles and remon-
strances Of the inventor he was held by
two brothers. while others snapped the
nose holders onto his ears, nose. lips
and fingers.
A rope was produced, and. TO the
clerks terrified eyes. It seemed as IL
they we're about to hang him. Strength
ened by fear. he ierked away from tho
saints who held him. rushed against and
over two of the brethren. and burst
headlong through the side Of the tent
wholly ignoring the opening provided
for egress.
AS well as they could. the ascension
lists hoped and tumbled outside and
saw the clerk disappearing with the
speed OF a quarte--horse and shedding
nose pins at every jump.
Presently he went out Of sight In the
moonlight. in the direction Of the Duffy
house. and the 81 bagged saints returned
to their cots TO await the end of the
world. Good Literature.

Following out this line OF reasoning,
the clerk very soon reached the con-

become healthier. they must snore
more. II they would not snore, they
must he made to.
Ere long. the clerks little invention

tenacity OF a snapping-turtle.
All that is necessary TO make sleep

when one OF these nose holders was

either breathe through his mouth or
