lIineman on Live Wire.

Gastonia, Special. Vernon Fogle, a
.lineman of the Piedmont Telephone
Company, had a narrow escape from
death when he, while at work on a
crossbeam on a telephone pole in this
place, came in contact. with a live
wire of the city lighting system. The
line carried $4,000 volts, but the full
charge did not affect him. He was
strapped. to the pole, this preventing
him from falling to the ground. He
was rendered unconscious and for a
time was in a bad shape, but he IS
better and is expected to recover.
Strange to say, his body was not
burned to any extent. Mr.. Fogle IS
about 20 years of age.

A story is told of certain politi-

defective and who in particular was
not "born speller." He became
prominent, and his correspondence
therefore took on a certain impor-
lance.
One day a particular friend came
to him and said, "Look here, Will
liam, you must have a secretary
write your letters and never under
take to write any yourself"
"Why?" asked the public man.
Because people are laughing at
your letters, and they will do you
harm"
"Why do they laugh at them ?"
in astonishment.
because you make so many mis-
takes in spelling"

ed the great man. Nonsense! l

Appreciated Advice.

Good counsel, thankfully received

An american pioneer" of 1912
gives an account of a sermon which
resulted in an understanding fal
more to the delectation of the hear
er than of the one who delivered it.
A good Swedish minister gathered
a company of Indian chiefs and de-
livered to them a discourse on the
subject of sin and its consequences.
He enlarged upon the story Of Ad-
am, Eve, the apple and the fall. His
language was vivid and picturesque
and made a great impression on the
red men. At the end of the sermon
an Indian orator rose and said:
"What you have told us is all very
good. 1t is indeed bad to eat apples.
It is better to make them all into
cider. We are much obliged for
your kindness in coming so far to
tell us these things which you have
heard from your mother"
