A Scotch minister on going to

bath morning met with the following
accident: Leather breeches being the
style, and having hung his in the
loft during the week, he hastily
donned them and went into the. pull
pit. While they were in the loft a
few busy wasps had built their nest
in them, and, as the good man walked
to and fro, preaching to his people,
it annoyed the wasps so that they be-
gan to sting him. He stood the at
tack as long as possible, getting more
excited every minute and gestfculat-
ing wildly, he finally shouted to his
astonished congregation: -.

And Cupid had come out victor
again.
Love God at Work in Hospital.
The doctors shook their heads. The
lad that lay on the operating table be-
fore them was pretty far gone. He
had gangrenous appendicitis, and the
poison had already set in.
Zone chance in a hundred" said the
operating surgeon as he prepared the
instruments and motioned to his as
sistants to administer the anaesthetic.
"And now, Miss Vanhorn, if you
please" he said, turning to a pretty
trained nurse who stood ready to help.
, Soon the ether had done It's work
and the knives began. An hour later
Carl A. Jaeger, the patient, was back
in bed, slowly coming out Of the in
fluence of the anaesthetic. At his
side sat the trained nurse, Miss Van
horn, with look of concern upon her
fair face, for the case was very grave.
Would the young mans temperature
slowly fall and recovery set in? Or
would his heart give out under the
tremendous strain of the ether and
the shock, and he pass away as a
tale that is told?
The young man stirred and moaned.
The nurse famed his forehead, bead
ed with cold drops of sweat. He
moaned again. She watched him as
closely as a cat watches a mouse.
He slowly came back to conscious
ness.
I'm thirsty" he moaned.
The nurse gave him a spoonful of
hot water. A full drink of the cold
water he craved might have meant
death just then. When he asked for
food he got sip of milk, nothing
more.
/ The days went by and the young
man slowly improved. Finally the
surgeon made his last visit:
young man." said he, you owe
your life to your nurse, not to me-"
That. was year ago. Cupid, the
cunning rogue, got lin his work at
once. Young Mr.. Jaeger didn't want
to give up the acquaintance of Miss
Vanhorn when he was discharged
cured. He asked permission to call
and got it. It doesn't take the wisdom
of a Solomon to guess the rest.

because Cupid had his mind made up.
Mr.. Schroeder pleaded his case and
the Greek countess agreed to become
the plain American Mrs" . So they
came back to Brooklyn to be married.
There few days ago they were wed.
But this didn't end the ceremonial
part of the wedding. The countess
wanted also a wedding in the faith
of her fathers, so all the party jumped
into automobiles and were whisked
over to Manhattan and up to the little
Greek church, Seventy street;
near Lexington avenue, where there
was another wedding, according to the
full ritual of the orthodox Greek
church.
There was crowd of the couples
