The Good Samaritan.

Another pearl in the lovely and priceless strand of our Lords thirty three parables. one of unusual size' weight, and luster, claims our atten- tion.
 It is hard for us occidentals to ap- preciate the license taken by Oriental audiences in the midst of public dis- course. They express their approval or dissent not only by facial and manual gesture, but by audible word. Discus- sions spring up among the auditors. and the speaker often has running accompaniment of comment. So 1t was no novel thing that in the midst of Jesus discourse the voice or a teacher of the Jewish law rang out "Rabbi, what shall I do to inherit eternal lifeT
 1t was a mere dialectic gauntlet toss ed at Jesus feet. The schoolman would fain convert that Perean roadway into an arena where he could display his hardihood and skill with his logical lance He should at least be given the benefit of a doubt of having any spe- @iai animosity against Jesus. Sacred things to him had lost their sacredness. Law and prophets were only an armory for wit and subtlety.
 The Master takes him upon his own ground Thou art versed in the law. Mayhap you have an answer in the text-box of your own phylactery?" The lawyers response Is quick and ap- posite. As a flash one sees how su- perior the religion of the old covenant was to the current religion of Judaism. They had ceased to be identical The religion of God was love. but the religion of Pharisaism was a narrow and cold system of dialectics.
 The lawyer, conscious of his inabili- tv to keep the law in it's full breadth, would fain enter his Pharisatcal refine ment upon 1t in the question. Who is my neighbour" Jesus has driven the matter home to his heart, but he

 The most popular novel and big gest seller" of the year was Aunt Mary Moffat." written by an unknown author whose name and fame had sud- denly gone abroad throughout the land
 Young pr. Brandon, just returned from Europe. hastened to congratulate his successful friend and. to his amaze- ment. he found the writer in the depths of despair.
 John Hastings, what is the matter? Are you not satisfied with being the most admired and discussed man of the hour? You ought to be ecstatic, elated, delirious with joy, and you look as if you had swallowed a bad oyster"
 Why should I rejoice in success when the only reason I tried for 1t ia gone?" John groaned.
 What do you mean?"

 Some people consider that an in- significant detail"

 She Is crazy!' Brandon exclaimed.
 There are plenty of others" point ing to a pile of letters. All those are from people who recognize themselves or one of their relatives among the characters of my book. Listen to this:
 Dear MT. Hastings-I was so pleas ad n And Unu made ma fhA harOtnR of your book. I told the editor Of our village paper and he put a piece :n the Huckleberry Junction Post about 1t. Please send me your autograph.
 There are more heroines, number of heroes, and you remember the man I called the 'patriarchal parson' ?-the woods are full of grandfathers exact ly like him. it appears. As for the Aunt Marys. their name is legion-there are at least three in every village In the States"
 Brandon helped himself from tho pile and read aloud:
 Dear Hastings: Perceiving as cannot fail to do so, the depletion ot my late lnmentable aunt in the title character of your book, l suggest that 1t would be a thankful act for you to put a monument on her grave. Her folks can't afford 1t. It would be a good ad. for the book, too"
 Brandon laughed heartily.
 What fun 1t would be to get these people together! Suppose we go to my house at Knowlbridge and give par ty for them7 Perhaps If Ethel sees the numerous other claimants she Will give up her idea about grandma" John demurred. but was finally per | suaded by Brandon. who assumed the entire responsibility. and sent the fol lowing letter to each of the originals

Warm Contest Over Question in Morgan
 and Madison Counties.
 Decatur. July 13.--lSpeciai )--There Is warm dispensary movement on in the counties of Morgan and Madison. Both counties have endorsed candidates for the State Legislature and are work ing like Trojans for their election.
 Hon. Jerre Murphy, Jr., of Hunts vile, was in Decatur yesterday. He said that few weeks ago Madison County was decidedly in favor of the dispensary, but that now the people had changed their minds and that the dispensary will lose in Madison County.
 Rev. S. F. Wasson, the leader of the dispensary movement in Morgan County, addressed a good sized crowd in East Decatur last night on the ques- tion. Today 15.00O copies of a paper favoring the dispcnsary. together with the names of a number of signers. will be printed and distributed among the voters of the county. The paper com tains about SOC names of voters from various precincts who are in favor of a dispensary for Decatur and New De- catur.
 Capt. Dan Walden. one of the dis pensary candidates for the Legislature. was present and made short talk. It had been previously charged that Captain Walden had voted against pro- hibition hills in the Legislature. Cap tain Walden denied this charge most enrAatically, saying if 1t could be shown by the records of the Legisla- ture that he had ever voted against or raised his voice against a prohibition measure he would withdraw from the race.
 A fine rain fell here last night and today, greatly reviving the crops. This section has the largest peach crop that 1t has had for many years.
 During thunder storm in the south ern part Of Limestone County today. negro was riding a mule along the public wagon road when a bolt of lightning struck the mule between the ears, killing it instantly. The light ming ran down the back of the mule and passing under the saddle on which the negro was seated, burned the under portion of the saddle badly. The me- gro was uninjured by the lightning, but he was frightened into a fit.

personally conducted by a nephew named Samuel Bangs. The heroine was represented by a married woman (whose husband came aiso), young widow and a sentimental maiden. Two clerks. bank cashier. and commer- cial traveller appeared for the hero. and four Aunt Marys in various stages of senility came attended by enterprising relatives.

 They cant break loose and wax con fidential between now and seven o'clock"
 Brandon announced the guests as Bangs came last, his face radiant with smiles and soap; placing one hand on his spine. the other on his heart, he made a real dancing school bow. and said:
 This is the proudest moment of my life"
 John thanked him. and Brandon said he was lucky to keep his heart where he could lay his hand on 1t sQ. readi- ly.
 Ethel arrived and insisted on going with the housekeeper to the buffers pantry, where she stayed, looking through the door.

 Here is to Aunt Mary Moffat and all her friends, relatives and acquaint- ances," said John, and glasses were drained amid great applause.
 Then, in order to identify each char acter, he suggested that all should be seated except the hero and heroine. and four Thomas Presleys and three Jen- nie Jenkinses were left staring, first in perplexity then in rage. at one anoth- CT.
 There must be misunderstanding said John. Surely, there can be but one hero or heroine for a single book.
 The three women talked at once the heroes muttered bitterly-the per- sonal conductors exchanged hasty con- HuelceS-JOnn cast BldhCe tOWdTu the door, but Brandon laid detaining hand on his shoulder.

 Nothing could have been more in- geniously offensive and smoulderins irritation threatened to burst forth. The widow stood by John to protect him. Brandon tired again.
 We have all seen Uncle Toms Cabin with two Uncle Toms, pair of Topsies and a brace of Evas, and none of them differeth from another in glory"
 Here the butler announced that the doctor was wanted across the street.
 For heavens sake don't go," whis- l pered John.
