How III. Place Was Filled.

A well known divine whose theolog-
zeal dlscourses draw crowded houses
in all the principal cities accepted an
invitation to lecture In small provin-
cial town, but discovered afterward
that be had a prior engagement on the
same date. He accordingly apologized
and offered to make good any loss the
society might incur through his delin-
quency.
A few days later he received a letter
from the secretary assuring him that
no harm was done and inclosing a
handful which the divine Is never
tired Of reading TO his amused friends'
"As the Rev. Mr.. - is unable 10

His Good Eye.

II Is q curious fact that the loss OF
Any one of the five senses Is atoued Tor
to considerable extent by a pro-
nounced increase in the efficiency OF
the other senses. The result Is some
times astonishing.
A man who had lost the sight OF
both eyes trained his hearing until ne
could tell by the sound Of his footsteps
on the sidewalks as be made his way
about town whether he was in the
middle of the walk or at one side,
whether he was walking past brick
or a frame house or fence or open
ground.
He knew In what part Of the town
he was not only by his memory or
sense of general direction, but by the
difference in the "tones" OF his foot
steps. and he walked about freely, sell
dom running into anything or any
body.
Some one In his presence once called
In question his total blindness.
(Which eye do you think | can see
with?P be asked the skeptic.
"The left one. of course was the
reply. IT can see that the q one Is
blind
In reply the blind man merely
opened his penknife and tapped the
left eye with the little blade.
IL was q glass eye.

death of his child and seemed to be so
affected by his loss that he turned all the
direction of the burial to the undertaken.
Incidentally he mentioned that ne was out
of money and that n few dollars to help
him meet incidental expenses would come
in handy. Now Heafey has recently passed
through the ordeal of a political campaign
and is used to sudden and imperative calls
upon his purse-strings. In the fullness of
his heart he sat down and wrote the fellow
a check for s.. The man took the check
and departed gratefully. Heafey busted
himself selecting an appropriate casket and
burial robes. but suddenly he bethought
himself. Suppose the fellow was a fraud.
He called up several families in the
locality which the man had given as his
bereaved home, but none Of them had
heard of such a case. Then Heafey grew
wise.
In the meantime Sullivan had tried at
several places to get the check cashed,
