Deacon Job Potter entered his
kitchen and seated himself with a
deep sigh on the bench.
Whats the matter, Job?" asked
Mrs. Potter.
I'm consumed, Hannah, I'm con-
sarned. My sperrit is as clar as
spring water, but I'm consumed about
what these hyar carnal minded people
will say"
whats happened?" inquired Mrs.
Potter, anxiously.
81 was drivin' to hum this afternoon
when who should come up to me but
Mordecai Pratt drivin' that there
two hundred dollar critter he bought
in York, hitched to his buggy. l had
my old sixty dollar mare to the light
wagon and when she heard that crit
ter behind her she jest gripped the
bit in her teeth and Mordecai wasn't
nowhere 'cept kivered with dust.
Now, all these people will think 1
was racin'.''
Eat your supper, job" said Mrs.
Potter, mo one IL believe you would
race arter the way you've talked agin
it."
'Mordecai wasn't nowhere repeat
ed the Deacon, with a chuckle which
he turned into. a groan as more befit-
ting one concerned spiritually
ripple of laughter came from the
parlor.
who's in thar?" asked the Deacon.
Why" replied Mrs. Potter, color
ing, Fred Carey walked hum with
Sarah, and he's not gone yet"
The Deacon thumped his fist on the
table.
Il won't have that man a goin' with
Sarah" he snarled, "he's a worldlin'
and sells feed to those unreginerate
critters that have race horses at the
track. Who ever saw Fred Carey at
the mourners' bench in the tabernacle
of the Lord? No one, but there's lots
ave seen him dancin at these hyar
picnics and SIGH. He's no sort of man
to visit the daughter of a perfessin
Christian and, if 1 say it myself, one
of the pillars of the church hyar-
aboutS."
ledge Grimes says Fred's dom a
nice business and is goin' to be a rich
man some day." put in Mrs. Potter
who's Jedge Grimes?" retorted the
Deacon, disdainfully, don't he play
cyards?"
But Mrs. Potter went up stairs be-
fore the sins of the Judge were fully
proclaimed.
After she had gone the Deacon emp
tied his pockets of sonic old papers,
throwing them into the stove.
'-Mordecai wasn't nowhere" he
chuckled and then looked at a square
piece of cardboard among the papers.

letters are so encouraging L love to
read them several times. You are the
best friend have in the world. There
is no place like home and mother.
Mama, l hope you are feeling better,
and some day 1 will come home and
help you like SON ought to do.
4 know you are malcontended when
1 am from home. I am very much
indiscriminated to think you are los
ing your health. 1t will be indispen-
sable for me to help you. You sup
ported me, and I shall support you in
restitution. Nobody can indurate my
heart against my mother, for she has
done so much for me, and will resti-
tute it if 1 can.
I'm very glad to hear that you are
pertinaciOus in trusting in the Lord.
He is our perpetual ruler and he will
circumscribe US in heaven. We all
have a chronical time. We should
be sagacious to trust in the Lord, and
that is something 1 can't do. l tried
but failed. 1 have to stand for the
vituperation, but some day 1 will be
undaunted, and be on the Lords side.
And then I won't be sacrilegious. We
all should ask squaeres of the Lord.
Though we shouldn't be procrastin-
ator. You said you were going to
work by the week. 1 hope you will
succeed. I'm glad to hear that Cliff

urged her, and he knew she meant it.
The village, being right in the shad-

contained some ungodly souls who
were interested in the sport, and a
few evenings later the Deacon, car
rying home half-soiled pair of boots
from the shoemaker, found them
wrapped in a sporting paper. The
Deacon eyed it with a hostile CLEAN

TOPEKA BOY IN ACCIDENT.
Paul Palmer Engineer on Frisco Train
Which Went Tllrough Bridge.


Paul Palmer, the engineer who was
on the engine which went through a
bridge of the Frisco railroad over the
Canadian river recently, is a formerly
Of Topeka young man. He is we'll
known in Topeka, having attended the
Topeka public schools and also Wash
burn college.
Despite this dangerous accident En-
gineer Palmer sustained no serious in
juries and but for the exposure and
strain suffered no Ill effects. Mr.. Pal
mer went through the bridge with his
engine into the river. In some mi
raculous way he was freed from his
engine and fioated down the river.
Cinging to floating debris, the en-
gineer was able to keep his head above
water for almost two hours. At day
break he was near small island and
managed to swim to it. Completely
exhausted, Engineer Palmer was com
PEELED to remain on this island for
twelve hours before he was rescued

island, was compelled to build a boat
before he could get across the river.
The lumber which was put into the
boat the farmer had to go four miles
for, but even with these difficulties 1t
was but three hours from the time of
Palmer's discovery until he was taken
from the island. The river was in a
swollen, dangerous condition, and his
escape the engineer says is nothing
short of miraculous.
His rescuer was a trained nurse, and
but for this fact Mr.. Palmer might
have suffered more seriously.
