The Truth at Last.

When Lot, fleeing from Sodom, saw
his wife turned into pillar of salt, he
was in a great quandary. Looking
around his eye fell upon a sign board
in field near by:
LOTS FOR SALE.
Selling this he fetched 1t over to
where his saline spouse was standing,
and with little ingenuity he made it
read:
LOTS WIFE FOR SALE.
Then he sat down and waited pa
tiently for customer.-BostOn Tran

tornado. and nearly every one persisted.
This was an excellent family and was
doing no one any harm. In the home
were several little ones who waited
through the night for something to eat,
but finding the house overturned and
their parents missing, they strayed
