Mr.. Clifton Johnson tells with what
skill and gallantry colored preacher
complimented the ladies Of his congre-
cation. There was to be a new men,
Der admitted to the church that day.
Because the candidate was feminine
1t seemed appropriate that he should
refer to the miracle Of woman's crea-
ton.
Jewels" said he, "are found in the
garbage and In the ice chest Yes, dia-
monds are very often found in the
rubbish. But not SO Eve. She was the
climax Of Gods work-the finest and
most beautiful Of all the things he had
made.
'She was created not from common
dust, but from a crooked rib taken
from the side Of Adam. She was In NO
way ordinary.
'She was an extract-like cosmetics
or perfumery which you ladies know
better and mo- con-
centrated than the usual. There's a
difference in things. There's great,
there's grand and there's greatest. The
creation Of the world was great, the
creation Of Adam was grand, but tho

Some time in the thirties Of the last
century Prophet Joseph Smith, ST., the
Mormon, and party of his followers
were proselyting in Muskingum coun-
ty, o. He appointed certain day
when he would show the people his
wonderful powers and that he was a
second Christ by walking on the wa
ters Of Mud creek. The water was
always muddy. A day or two before
the time set grandmother's brother
Robert and couple OF neighbor boys
were accidentally attracted to the
Mormons working at the creek and,
concealing themselves, watched the
Mormons put down stakes and put
planks on them from bank to bank,
the plank resting about six inches I'M
der water. After the Mormons left
the boys went down and took out the
center plank. where the water was
about ten feet deep. The next day
Balaam Smith came down to the creek
and, after long exhOrtatiOn, started
across the creek. He was all right
and on top till he came to the center,
where his powers seemed to leave
him, and he went to the bottom. This
was the end Of Mormonism in that
county.

Not many years ago, on the high
roads about Wittenberg, in Germany.
travellers frequently met an old woman
trudging slowly along, pushing before
her a light wheelbarrow loaded with
bundles and parcels. The old woman
was at least sixty, but she was SC
cheerful and accomplishing that the
people had no hesitation in employing
her. She had many knickknacks and
parcels to carry to and from the city
into which three or four times a. week
she pushed her barrow, which folks
called the "Wittenberg express" This
plucky old woman walked with her ex.
press wheelbarrow at least ten miles
each trip, and her earnings, a small fee
for each parcel, served to support her
self and her two invalid daughters, who
could do only little sewing. The old
woman would allow no one to pity her
She liked the work. she said, and was
only sorry that as she grew older she
could not make such frequent trips, fol
her earnings were helping herself and
her children.-St. Nicholas.

reflection during these ordeals In the
multicolored angels over the altar than
in her fathers sermons, but on a recent
Sunday his opening sentence threw
even the angels into the shade.

the clergyman.
That challenge, hurled thus boldly at

entire congregation had turned their

Good Horse, Good Rider.

Judging from the following story
which Arthur J. Smythe tells in his
biography Of William Terriss, it Is evil
dent that the practice Of betting on
horse races was among the great dis
likes Of the popular actor.
When any one asked him what horse
he was going to back he would say:
I'm going to back a little dlly I've
often backed before I've never won
anything on 1t; yet, strange to say, I've
never lost penny"
