From PRAYER to LAUGHTER.

A revival meeting was in progress
and Sister Jones was called upon for
testimony. Being meek and humble,
she said: Il do not feel as though
should stand here and give testimony
I have been a transgTessOr for a good
many years and have only recently
seen the light. I believe that my place
is in a dark corner behind the door"
Brother Smith was next called upon
for his testimony and, following the
example set by Sister Jones, said: Il,
too, have been a sinner for more than
40 years, and I do not think it would
be fitting for me TO stand before this
assembly as a model l think my
place is behind the door, in a dark
corner with Sister Jones"
And he wondered why the meeting
was convulsed with the laughter Of
those who came up to pray.-Cleve-
land Leader.

Hitchcock is a man from the ranks,
an example of what can be done in
Washington without pull Educated in
Boston schools and working his way
he went to Harvard and graduated in
1891. Out of Harvard he was recon-
mended to Washington for chief clerk
of a department, and down there he
came. But department work did not
hold him, for he took up the study of
law, and graduated from the Colum-
bian law school in Washington and
was admitted to practice before the
supreme court.
Meanwhile he had been taking 9th
er civil service examinations in vari-
Gus places, and finally attracted the at

HAD TAPPED HEMLocK TREES
Vermonter Loses Maple Sugar Yield
Through Ignorance of Worker.

Pomfret, Vt-The next time Law
renee Pratt hires a new farm hand
he will be certain that he under
stands his work before he sends him
into the sugar bush to tap. II will
save him a lot of trouble and much
chatting.
Mr.. Pratt hired the man, Henry
Jones by name, to do general work
about the farm and help him out dur.
ing the maple sugar season. He
knew that Jones had been employed
during haying last summer by e
neighbor and had given satisfaction.
so he didn't go into particulars.
When it came time to prepare
spiles, or taps, for the maple trees,
Jones appeared a bit rusty as to their
manufacture, but after watching the
boss for a few minutes he proved a
master hand at whiting them. The
farmer delegated Jones to tap the
trees.
Everything went well until the first
run was boiled. The sap seemed ex-
ceptionally sweet, but when II had
been boiled down the syrup tasted
bitter and he and Jones were
nauseated.
you are sure you didn't tap any
thing but naples" inquired Mr.. Pratt
''Why, there amt nuthin' else in the
orchard, is there?" asked Jones.
Nothing else!" shouted the farm
er. "Why, man, there must be 30
hemlocks sticking around
We'll. then, l must have tapped
EN-" groaned the hired man, for /
tapped every tree on the hill"

DEVILS TOWER MADE RESERVE.
Rock Rises 500 Feet Above Surround
ing Country.

Daafwo1d. s. D-President ROOse-
rat has issued au order setting aside
ra Devils tower a peculiar geograph-
IcaI formation in northeastern Wyo-
ming as a national monument and a
federal reslrre Nearly 1000 acres of
land also are set aside with the tower.
This reserve Will be under the care
Of the general land office of that dis
tict no entries will be allowed on it,
and every effort viii be made to pro-
t5ct the tower from injury.
This Devils tower is a chimney-like
mountain of rock that rises 500 feet
above the surrounding country, and for
almost 500 feet is nearly perpendicular
and devoid of any growth of vegeta-
ton. The top of the tower is large
enough i'm area for a baseball team to
play a good game and is covered with
e scant soil formed from the disin-
tegrated rock and bearing moss, cac-
tus and ferns
Two men are known to have climbed
this tower at the risk of their lives
One OF them was Jack Rogers. an old
cowboy and the other was Arthur
Jobe. a young engineer for the Home
stake Mining company.
The tower stands on the bank of the
upper Belle FoWche river, and has
been for years one of the landmarks
OF the country. II was at one time in
