Rev. Wilkinson, OF Hamlin, had
an experience with an insane man a
few days Since that he will long re-
member. When the minister OF the
gospel paid a pastoral visit to the
home OF Daniel Swami, a farmer
iiyirg in the interior of Lipcoln coun-
iy, the tiller of the soil became very
demonstrative in his insane desires
and insisted that the parsou should
make an excavation IN the earth.
Rev. Wilkinson wishing TO keep
the Sabbath day holy, objected to
doing manual labor on that day.
However, after seeing the maniacial
twinkle of the farmers eye, AMI re
membering that self.preservatlon is
the first Law of nature, came TO the
conclusion that his objections We're
not very well sustained. SO TO save
trouble he took the prolIered mat
took and made the dirt fly until the
mad mans attention was turned
when the reverend gentleman made
his escape.
