BOY PREACHER PROVES MARVEL

Ignorant Of the Alphabet, Yet Quite
Proficient in Scripture.
LEWISTOWN JUNCTION, Pa, Dec.
13.-While Pennsylvania railroad pas
were waiting for trains here a
6 year old boy, Ira Wesley Shingley of
Ebytown, mounted a settee and deliv-
cred a most impressive rmo on the
crucifxion of Christ. The sermon was
delivered with the skill and force Of
voice and gesture that denote the ora,-
or, and the description of the crucifix-
ion would have done credit to any reg
ularly ordained minister. He was una
Dashed by the crowd that pressed close
ly about him and listened with awe
and reverence to the words of evan
gelism as they fell from the lips Of the
child.
His grandfather said it was a gift to
the boy hat no one could explain. He
was never in school a day in mis- life
and could not pick one letter from an
other. But read him a passage of
scripture and ten days or a month
later he would repeat it, word for word,
without a blunder or hesitation. He
frequently quotes passages of scrip
ture unknown to those who are about
him daily.

A Valuable Agent.

Saved His Dog.

Some time ago there was a shipwreck at St. Margaret's Bay, England, and the life-li brought sailor after sailor to shore amid the cheers of the res cuers. At last only the captain remained on board. The line was ready, the signal was given, but the answering jerk did not come. Again and again, for a quarter of an hour, the question passed along the rope without a reply. At last, when hope was nearly dead, the signal came and the captain was hauled dripping ashore. He picked himself up, drew small. wet, quivering dog from his vest pocket and set it tenderly down. Then he looked around and said in simple apolo- gy: 'I couldn't find the little fellow anywhere. ."-Our Dumb Animals.

Her Makeup Was Her Fortune.

At the Sunshine bazaar the Daughters of the Confederacy was one of the most attractive in the whole building, and at times did rushing business. Several of the ladies who were assisting at this booth blackened their hands and faces and pre- sided over tables at which all the old southern delicacies were sold. One lady relates that she was uffering ginger bread for sale, when an old negro man, who was over in a corner, beck oned to her. She went to him and he said:
 What you axin' for dem stage planks?"
 "Two cakes for 5 cents," she responded.
 "Well, give me two. ''You'se de fust one of my color dat I'se seen here, an I'se gwine to pat ronize you"

A travelling salesman in the employ of a large bicycle manu facturer in Philadelphia was obliged to go on a business trip into the west about the time an interesting domestic event, was expected.

Understood the Situation.

Not long ago, in. Perthshire, Scotland, a woman was driving her husband down a narrow lane when, on turning a sharp corner, they encountered a brewers cart. Neither had room to pass, and in most disagreeable tones the woman said:
 "He must go back, for I shall not. He ought to have seen us before entering the lane."
 "But, my dear," replied the husband, Chow could he, with this sudden turn in the road?"
 I don't care," said the woman haughtily; ''I shall stay here all night before I shall give way to him."
 The driver of the cart over heard all the conversation, and said, resignedly:
 "A' richt, sir; I'll gang back adding, sympathetically, "I've got just such anither one at home. "-Unidentifed.

THE TUCK RAKE.

Naturally the president meant just what he said when he pitch ed into the man with the muck rake. But few of his public ut terances have been more distort- ed and misunderstood. What the president was inveighing against was sensationalism, the baseless sensationalism, that has happily almost run it's course in the yellow and would be yellow journals of the country. This country has been undergoing a great wave of moral awakening and reform. In some quarters. and from purely sordid motives, the reform has verged on moral hysteria. It was this that the president was striking at. He did not mean that the exposure of corruption wherever it exists was muck -raking. He knows few know better-that there are moral plague spots all over this country, and that they have to be raked. He knows, too, that they are as offensive to the men who have to do the raking as to the public that sees them uncov- cred. But work of this sort is clean in the doing, though it may be foul in the corruption it pXnOSeS.

Cochise County Grass Widows

Frank Alley rushes into print with a stirring defense for the Arizona grsss widow, as follows:
 There are hfty-four divorce cases pending before the present term of the district court, and they are still piling in. A di- yorce case which usually goes by default can be wedged in be- tween the regular docket pro- ceedings at any time. It is no trouble to make a grass widow at recess, two more just before dinner and half a dozen more after the jury has retired to de- liberate in some standard case.
 When the court remarks to the lady's.- counsel, Prepare your decree" the liberated bundle of palpltating femininity goes fut-
 
 tering to the arms of husband No. ?, 3 or 4, as the case may be. They do not have to leave the first floor; they can turn ab- ruptly into the office of the pro- bate court, get the credentials and have the ceremony over with.
 She went up stairs married woman, she came down 8 married woman, although she may have been the wife of different men on the two respective occasions. She is not to be blamed because she refuses to everlastingly glue up to a miserable hound with the vocabulary of a pirate and the breath of a Gila monster. If her biscuits do not suit him, let her find some fellow they do suit.
 Of all rational propositions the average grass widow is most de- sirable. If you had married her first she would have gone on through life imagining that the other fellow was the one roman tic love of her life. After she has taken him, after his beastly conduct and infamous qualities have totally disgusted and dis illusioned her silly dream, she is in a frame of mind to everlast- ingly appreciate you. Treat her right and you will have prize. She will have no regrets to har- bor. She knows from contrast and experience that she has the right fellow. This widespread prejudice against grass widows is the most foundationless and unjust sentiment that eyer ob- tained among a civilized people.
