Lauahed AWAY the panaer.

An old traveller tells of an experience
of his in midocean. The day was fog
s., a:il most of the passengers We're
below listening to two evangelists
who were holding II particularly fervid
gospel meeting in the saloon. Suddenly
and without the slightest warning
there was terrific crash and the en-
gines stopped. Every one rushed on
deck. The steamer had run into an Ice
berg.
Nobody knew what damage had been
done, and everybody was ready to fly
into a panic. The boats were lowered,
and then for the first time the two
evangelists, who had been forgotten in
the saloon, appeared on deck. They
wore their overcoats and their hats,
and they carried rugs and handbags.
They elbowed their way rudely to the
rail, with the evident intent Of secur-
ing for themselves first places in the
boat. 1t was just Mt time when a
breath would have sent the passengers
panic stricken into the boats.
The sight Of the two evangelists was
about to undo the work of cool headed
officers when pert little cockney
stepped up to the gentlemen with the
rugs and handbags.
BEG pardon" said lie, tipping his
cap, cave cab, sir"
And in the general laugh the danger
of panic was averted.

Wireless Money Iendinn

One Of the most interesting types on
the American track is the professional
money lender. Money lending is alb
solutely forbidden, and so the entire
transaction must be conducted sub
rosa, but If person who is on goes
broke and he has some article of jew
elry of value with him 1t is easy for
him to realize money on 1t.
The lender is an irreproachubly
dressed person who sits on the grand
stand with the rest Of the crowd and is
known in his true colors only to the
habitucs of the track. A man who
wants some capital makes an unobtr,-
sive sign to him and twirls ring he
may be wearing at the time. Shortly
afterward both will proceed to res
taurant, where, for the benefit of on
lockers, they will greet each other as
ordinary acquaintances. The exchange
is then made over the drink they order:
the loan broker has the ring and the
bettor his capital. If the latter cashes

money and the agreed upon premium

A Welsh Sermon.

The Welsh are noted for their fond
ness for sermons and music. The an.
nual eisteddfod, the national bardic
congress, is attended by thousands,
who on the great day of festival
"chair" the fortunate bard, the winner
of the prize.
A similar enthusiasm greets the
Welsh preacher who is eloquent In
speech and practical in expounding the
Scriptures. The following story of n
Welsh preacher, told in the Journals
of Walter White" illustrates the
graphic, simple exposition which con-
manded the attention of the congrega-
ton:
Noe worked at the ark, driving
nails, plump. plump, plump. The hay.
then came and said: Noe, there's good
hunting in the woods here, hares and
foxes. Leave your work and come and
hunt But Noe kept on hammerlng,
plump plump, plump.
"rhe lilytlien came again: Noe,
there's gonI beer mt the Red Lion.
Leave your work and come and drink
But Noe kept on hammering plump,
plump, plump. And then the rain
came. and the flood lifted up the ark
and carried Noe away and left the
