times and under all circumstances
tell the whole truth about his mem
bers alive or dead, will not occupy
his pulpit more than one Sunday,
and then he will find it necessary
to leave town in a hurry. The
press and the pulpit go hand in

"A small boy in Buffalo, N. Y,
the other day got rather more than
was coming to him. Standing on
the outer edge OF crowd watching
q circus parade, he flung q rock at
passing elephant, hitting it just be-
hind the ear The beast reached
out her proboscis, caught the boy
around the body and slammed him
on the pavement, his death follow
ing in a few moments. The ele-
plant was killed. The boy ought
not to have thrown the rock. A
good many boys keep out of serious
trouble by not thro wing rocks,
and a case was never known where
the boy who threw rocks ever did
himself or anybody else any good
by it.
