What CAUSED the Lvnchinn.

Out at Stafford the other day O
group of farmers met train, and when
tall, sunburned man stepped off the
car they all grabbed him and shook his
hand warmly. The man looked them
over calmly and then said: Gentle
men, am sorry to disappoint you. I
know you think I am a harvest hand,
but you are mistaken. I am light
ming rod agent. "-Kansas City Star.

IN THE NAME OF CHARITY.
Jack London's Story Carries Sting Of
Truth and Pathos.

Jack London's famous definition Of
sharing a bone with dog
when you're as hungry as the dog
recalls a story about charity" said a
magazine editor, that heard Mr.. Lon
don tell at a farewell dinner in New
York before he sailed away on the
Spark.
"Mr. London said two old men were
smoking and drinking together after
dinner.
1.-THE host rang the bell and an old
woman appeared.
"'Confound you, stupid!' said the
host. Didn't tell you wanted the
Scotch? Take this back, and bring
what asked for, you old fool!'
"'Come, come said the guest, after
the old woman had hurried away in q
great fright. Come, come, my friend,
don't you think you are rather too
sharp with your old servant?'
"'Oh,' said the other, she's not q
servant. She's only a poor relation
I'm keeping out of charity
'The guest looked relieved.
" THAT alters the case, of course he
said."-Washington Times.

A Methodist minister has protested
against the use of the Sunday service

certain sensitveness on the more prominent
surfaces of his corporosity.
This was the sum total; and the troop
made its slow and cautious way, with mani
fold slips and tumbles and no little hilarlty,
up the steep hill bank to the summit where
the girls awaited.
Each ones mishaps in that gruesome gully
were duly narrated, to the great edihcation
and delight of the girls Indeed, those prac-
teal young beings were firmly of the OPINION
that had they been taken on the plunge, their
added weight would have saved the sleds from
capsizing
''And it would have been such fun to dive
into that snow-bank!"
1t was Laura Winch who gave voice to this
sentiment.
"Will you try it with me?" challenged Bill
Not ed"on' on tbat s; sida. responded Laura cts
too late, But / will go down the home side

The boys tapped their toes rehectively upon
the crust. The sunshine had lain caressing-
ly upon it for some hours. Yet it seemed
firm enough to bear up sled under rapid
way. n,
And Laura began to adjust herself upon
the forward deck of the barge. Esther and
Abby shook their heads and decided to walk.
The boys leaped upon their seds, except Wes-
ton Bryant and one other who remained
with the girls, and down they started in a
babel of cheers and whoops.
Billy seated himself in the attitude for
steering on the after deck of the barge, Lau-
ra seized hold firmly of the stake.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-03

Then was the 'ball-play dance indulged in,
all the players of both sides in their full
game dress, rattling their bats together and
joining in the monotonous chants of the tribe.
Then the squaws formed on each side of the
betting line, and there danced and sung ap-
peals to the Great Spirit to decide the game
tomorrow in their favor.
The game was always opened by four old
medicine men, who were also the umpires.
The night before the game was called, while
the players and the betters were dancing, and
having a good time at the 'byes' and the
betting-line, they were squatted down at a
small stake, away from the fun, smoking to
the Great Spirit for ability to impartially de-
eide the game tomorrow, as their duties re-
quired.
"The four old men standing at the small
stake throw the ball up in the air, and then
the players numbering seven or eight hun
derd frequently, rush franticaly to the spot

heads, darting between their adversaries'
legs, and all the time keeping up the most

"All right?' asked Billy.

IAN right?" asked Billy.
"Then away we go!" and Billy gave a
vigorous push with his foot.
At the start, the barge kept fairly well
on the crust cutting in little at intervals.
The speed soon became terrific
"Whoop!" bawled Horace Stokes, a little
further below. as his sled plowed through
the surface and pitched him headlong down
the slope.
"Hold on hard. Laura!" cried Billy to his
passenger, as he set his teeth firmly and pre-
pared for an emergency.
why. it's real fun" replied that undaunt-
ed young lady, as two or three more boys
turned picturesque and precipitate somer
saults in company with their sleds.
The barge fairly flew. They had two or
rocks, yet all seemed going beautifully
Biliy,'s pulse bounded with exultation.
Suddenly there came harsh and gritty
craunching, shudder and rocking of the
barge. then Billy was conscious of whirling
in the air with a stinging pain in his left
shoulder.
He knew no more till he seemed to be
awaking out of a hideous nightmare, in
which he was being clawed by some ferocious
beast.
He opened his eyes. The sunshine made
him blink. but he was aware of Laura
Winch's smiling face bending over him.
"Billy's all right" shouted that brisk
young person, gleefully, to the boys, who
were clustering around.
When the barge plowed suddenly and
deeply into the mellowed crust Billy was

projected clean over Laura Winch's head,
just missing taking that object along with
him.
In his flight he brought his shoulder into
severe contact with that "handy" stake. The
shock threw him into momentary faint.
Happily, no serious damage was done.
Billy felt himself over, and found that though
his shoulder was painful. nothing was bro
ken. He vowed, however, that one thing
would be when he arrived home-to wit, the
solitary stake on his precious barge.
So they all trooped merrily down the re-
mainder of the descent afoot On reaching
