A Wonderful Religious Revival

One of the wonderful events Of
the passing year is the blazing up
of religious enthusiasm right In
the midst of commercialism. Just
at time when nations are preach
ing the right of might and inexor-
ably applying in social andpolitic-
al practice the savage doctrine
of the survival of the fittest. comes
a great altruistic awakening.
Curiouly enough, it has started
in obscure little Wales, one of the
corners of the earth where "Anglo-
Saxon" influences are not over
towering. 1t promises to spread
over Grea at Britain and on across
the seas. Before this revival began
the commercial spirit had touched
pven the churches in Wales, and
preachers talked to empty benches.
"The gentle heart of Joseph
jenkins, pastor of the Calvinistic
Methodist Church at Ceinewy6d,
Wales, was stirred to its depths
by the religious apathy in his
parish" Like one of the church
fathers of old, he began to preach.
"Soft breezes from Calvary began
to blow upon the parish" From
this centre young men and women
took up the work. Conversions
up to the first Of the year IN little
Wales numbered $4,000, and it is
that they will run to
Many dram shops and
taverns have been closed. Crime
has decreased IS per cent.
The Welsh movement has
already reached London. Itprom-
ises to travel far. Possibly it is
the beginning of an era of con-
science and idealism which is to
replace the worldwide CONNER
cialism practically now holding
such undisputed sway.

HIS WATERLOO.
How the Officer Of the Day Triumphed
Over Private Murphy

In the days when this country had
frontier every army post had to be
in constant state of readiness, for
there was no telling when troops
might be called out to suppress an
Indian uprising or to rid the road
of desperate highwaymen. Disci-
pline, the Brooklyn Eagle says, was
never relaxed, although the manner
in which it was preserved sometimes
savored of comedy.
Captain Troxell of the Seven
tenth infantry, an Irishman and a
strict disciplinarian, had considera-
bic trouble with certain members of
his company who, being Hibernians
from different counties, were dis
posed to quarrel overmuch among
themselves.
Once when Captain Troxell was
officer Of the day the sergeant of the
guard, strapping .Irishman, who
himself disapproved these frequent
fights as being subversive of disci-
pline and disgraceful to the compa-
ny, approached the captain with the
customary salute and said:
"Officer of the day, sir, | have the
honor to report that Private Muir
ply, of your company, a prisoner in
the post guardhouse, struck at me
with a pickax handle"
Captain Troxell returned the sa-
lutte and merely said, "All right"
A few minutes later the sergeant
of the guard presented himself again
and after saluting said
"Officer of the day, sir, | have the
honor to report that Private Muir
ply, a prisoner in the post guard
house, struck at me again with a
pickax handle"
Once more the captain returned |
the salute and said, "All right"
The sergeant of the guard stood |
at attention a moment, then defer
entially said
'But, sir, officer of the day, is it
all right for prisoner in the post |
guardhouse to strike at the sergeant |
of the guard with a pickax handle ?"
ct is" answered the captain, eff |
the sergeant of the guard is fool
enough to let him."
Ten minutes later the sergeant re-
turned and saluted.
"Officer of the day, sir" he said
in his gravest voice, Il have the hon
or to report that Private Murphy of
your company, prisoner in the post
yuardhouse, desires to go to the hos
pital on sick report, sir"

Hypnotism and Matrimony.

Why not use hypnotism as an aid

occurred to lady who listened to a
lecture on hypnotism by an eminent
physician. Volunteers from the au-

were thrown into harmless frances.
So the lady wrote to the physician
next day stating that she desired to
consult him, and he awaited her
coming, thinking she was a patient.
