WOMAN KNEW HUMAN NATURE.
Personal Experience Counted In Her
Endorsement of New Pastor.

A Philadelphia congregation was
called upon not long ago to choose a
pastor. The last three ministers had
been persona non grata with most of
the parishioners; and before selecting
another the congregation did some
pretty hard thinking. There was one
woman of experience whose voice car
ried particular weight. Preacher after
preacher was invited to the pulpit for
trial sermon, and all, in the final
analysis, were rejected by the female
arbiter. At last there came along a
possible incumbent who met with her
approval.
"The reason I am sure he will give
satisfaction" she said, "is because he
has the right kind of wife for a
minister. She allows him to rant
around all he wants at home and
doesn't sass back. found out long
while ago-shortly after I was mar
ried myself, in fact-that man who
hasn't that privilege at home works
off his spleen elsewhere. A minister
vents it on his congregation. That
was why we couldn't stand the last
preacher. This one will be all right.
We won't hear a peep out of him"
And upon that unique recommends
ton the congregation really did give
the man a call. According to last ac-
counts both he and the congregation
were doing we'll. The wife has not

Mrs. Waters was sitting on the veran-

mother, while the little girl played in
the garden.
For a moment the child wandered
around the corner of the house and
was out of the sight of it's mother.
Suddenly the screams of the child
brought Mrs. Waters to her feet in
terror. She ran around the house and
close to her snake coiled, striking
at her repeatedly. Its head shot for
ward with deadly precision, but its
fangs, by good fortune, did not enter
the child's flesh at every stroke, else
there would be different tale to tell
The mother dashed at the snake
which glided away, and she grasped
her daughter up and ran to the house
There mother and grandmother barred
the Guilds leg, and above the shoe top
fouad three punctures in the tender
flesh where the snakes fangs had en-
tered.
Without hesitation Mrs. Waters ap
piled her lips to the wounds and drew
forth the poison. AS she spat it out il

had hardly had time to enter into the

wounds, until she was exhausted by
