the drummer, as he sagely shook
his head, 81 had a brother who
was afflicted with it for six years.
He tried half a dozen different
springs, but he found no relief. AT
length he determined to try heroic
measures. That is, | advised him
to do something in that direction
as a forlorn hope, and he thought
the tip a good one"
"What did he try?" was asked.
"He went out into a pasture
and faced a bull that had tossed
half a dozen men sky high. We
figured that when the bull started
for him with head down and tail
up the scare would drive the rheu-
matism out, and he would strike 4
2:40 gait for the fence"
"And how did it work."
"Three minutes after the bull
caught sight of Charley his rheu-
matism was gone, never to re-
turn"
"You don't say.
"But l do; and Charley was
gone with it. He never knew how
high he went when the bull got his
horns under him, and he never
knew what a hole he made in the
, ground when he came down."
''Then your-your advice"
"Was the worst thing he could
have followed, sir and it was a
great moral lesson to me. Since
that time have made it a practice
to drink alone instead of advising
or encouraging a fellowman to
wreck his soul, and as this is my
usual time for taking a cocktail
you gentlemen will please excuse
me for five minutes"

Lord Beaconsfeld once chal.
lenged O'Connell to a duel, but the
famous statesman found himself
bound over to keep the peace in a

O'Connell himself fought a duel
with a member of the Irish house
Of commons named D'Esterre and
killed his opponent.
Another fatal duel was that in
which Lord Camelford. one of the
most confirmed duellists of his
day and a man who had the death
of more than one fellow creature
on his hands, was killed by Mr..
Best.
The last duel fought in ireland
was between a mayor Of Sligo and

Emperor Menelik allows them to
remain true to the faith of their

however, only 30 remain, and all

RECEIPT FOR ST. PETER.
Mormon Bishop Wanted Proof OF
Polygamy for Heavenly
Inspection.

The following incident Ia related by
Marion Bonsall, in the Housekeeper:
An ardent champion of plural mar
riage, a bishop who presides over one
of the wards of a small town in Utah,
vigorously announces his belief to the
world This ecclesiastic, the husband
of several wives, is particularly fond,
in Sunday services, of picturing In
glowing terms to his congregation, the
blessed day when "seven women shall
lay hold on the skirts of one man." In
one of his earnest sermons he told his
congregation the following incident re-
lating to himself, which to him was
not only perfectly serious. but a very
hold on "exaltation" itself.
He had, at one time, been prosecuted
and fined for polygamy. Upon pay
ment of his fine, he demanded receipt.
After some discussion it was given to
him by the clerk, who was much
amused by the incident. The bishops
purpose in claiming the receipt. he in
formed his congregation, was that
when he met ST. Peter in another
world, and was asked if he had obeyed
the celestial order of marriage, he
could not only say that he had obeyed
the divine law, but actually prove by
the receipt, which he held in his hand
that he had undergone persecution fol
his obedience to the principle.

said that a northern family could al

let's go to waste. We let our farming
implements take the weather greater
portions of the year and then buy new
ones when needed. We run our bug
gies till the paint looks dim and then
let them go for mere trifie In ex-
change for buggies that have new
paint on them. We neglect to terrace
our lands and allow the soil to wash
away during the summer freshets. We
do hundreds of other things that make
waste. but the most uncalled-for thins
of all is that we almost kill ourselve:
to make big crop of cotton, and keel

and then carry the cotton to gin, hau

these being an article of diet also not
contained in the new governors phil

He took an olive in his mouth, and
not liking the taste, promptly returned

looked down the table.
