an Arab off prayer rug, and beloved

herd of camels seemed to have swat-

where the sacred cattle were trying to
set pious example to the rest of the
animals by their meek and lowly con-
duct.
The sacred COW got her horseradish

hold 1t without giving the snap away,

elder lacks courage. This courage is its
most valuable attribute, and this meth

Original.

The other day clergyman suddenly
district in neighboring state to- read
the funeral service over the body of
a friend who had died while on a
visit to the farm which he had left
many years ago as small boy. It
was wild region. Within miles of
the abandoned farm there was no
church, and only one small red
schoolhouse," where there was teach
ing for three months in the winter.
It was a primitive community and
the people came to the funeral over
roads unmended and leading through
woods which had grown up in what
were once cultivated fields. All the
best blood of the region had been
drawn away in to the cities. The peo-
ple who remained were the Survival
of the unfittest," says the New York
Press.
s. In his hurry to catch the train which
should take him to the nearest rail-
road station the clergyman <caught up
his hymnal instead Of the prayerbook.
and when he came to conduct the
funeral service found that he must go
over the Episcopal burial service from
memory as best. he could. So without
a book, he repeated from memory the
beautiful words Of that service, the
whole thing having to the eyes of the
assembled farmers the appearance Of
