Trapping a Waiter.

There is Il waiter at one of the To-
cal restaurants who now believes
that honesty is the best policy, all
though he has not had time yet to
experiment with It, His faith In
human nature has also been shat
tered. He thinks that the milk Of
human kindness has been clabbered,
and that simple trustfulness is a
mere figure Of speech. And the rea-
son Is this:
A gentleman went into the restau-
rant (the sign says cafe) and ord
brought in an innocent little fly
was gayly huttering in its midst
sublimely unconscious of the feeling
of nausea which II created.
The gentleman reached In his
pocket and dropped something in the
plate, and then called the waiter.
Walter, there is n fly in this
soup. Bring me another bowl"
The waiter took the bowl out. and
presently returned, bearing steam
ing bowl of soup.
Did you just pick that fly out, or
did you get another bowl OF soup?'
81 got you all another bowl boss
Hopes you don't think I'd do any
thing like that"
well, wait a minute" said the
gentleman, and with his spoon he
flshed around in the bowl and
brought up the half dollar he drop
ped in the bowl before giving it TO
the negro.
The negros eyes popped out
greedily, and as he turned shame
facedly away was heard to humble:
"Doggone 1t, that's just my luck!"--

will tell you how It feels to be
hanged. At Fort Barrancas, Fla, on
April 4, 1868, was hung as con-
federate spy. spent four minutes
physically and spiritually between
earth and heaven. Then a Yankee
sergeant, believing me to be the
wrong man, cut me down.
NV first sensation when the barrel
was kicked from under my feet was
that a steam boiler inside me was
about to explode. Every vein ana
blood vessel to and from my heart
seemed charged with an oppressive
fullness that must find an avenue OF
escape. The nervous system through
out its length was tingling with a
painful, prlckling sensation the like
of which / never felt before or since.
Then followed the sense of an ex-
plosion. as If q volcano had erupted.
This seemed to give me relief, and
tho pain gave way to a pleasurable
feeling, one very desirable could 1t
be secured without death. With
this sensation llght Droke III upon
my sight, a light of milky whiteness,
vet, strange to say, SO transparent
that it was easier to pierce with the
eye than the light of day. Then
came into my mouth a taste OF
sweetness the like of which / have
never since known. And ! felt my
self moving on, with a conscious
ness of leaving everything behind.
Then I heard the sweetest of music,
and It seemed that more than a
thousand harps led in each part, ac-
companied by myriads of voices.
And the sensation Of coming back
to life after | had been cut down
was Just as painful as the first feel
ing of hanging. 1t was acute tor
ture. Every nerve seemed to have
a pain of its own. My nose and fin
gers we're seats of the most excru-
ciating agony. In half an hour the
pain was all gone, but would not
go through the experience again for
the wealth OF the Indies.-Rev. j. T.
Mann in Spare Moments.

say when telling the story afterward
There was large congregation at
the chapel the next day, many who
were not in the habit Of attending
church, coming on this occasion.
There was the boy whose double
runner Mr.. Scudder had borrowed:
there was the coal dealer of whom
he had bought the bags of coal with
which to heat the chapel the grocer
who had sold him some bags of char
coal and some crackers and cheese,
and whom the young minister had re-
quested to tell all his customers that
there was to be service in the chap
ell the next day. The lady of whom
he had borrowed lantern, was
| there, also the one who had fallen
on the icy sidewalk and whom he
had lifted to her feet, afterwsrd as
| sembling her scattered bundles; and
there was the lady who had sent by
him for the doctor, and there was the
doctor. Even the rheumatic janitor,
| who had been consulted as to the
| habits of the furnace, was so interest,"
ed in the young man that he man
| aged to come to the service.
Little by little, from evidence OF
the different witnesses, the story Of
that evenings work was pieced to-
| gether and 1t became known that the
young man had walked two miles
| getting to the coal Dealers Just be-
fore closing time, and brought back
the coal on the double runner. Then
| he had shoveled broad path to the
chapel door, through drifts shoulder
high in places, and with the bor-
rowed lantern had gone inside, and
carrying the fuel downstairs, had
started fire in the furnace. Then
he had busted himself with broom
and duster till the icy chill had pass
ed away. when he sat down beside
the furnace and ate his luncheon.
Finally, when the fire was in fit con-
dition to leave for the night, he had
shut 1t up safely and returned the
borrowed lantern, and as he had
started back to the Gerrys had met
the distressed lady who had sent him
mile in the other direction to get
the doctor for a cToupy child.
While he had not asked anyone to
come, but merely told them as If 1t
were something they would be glad
to know. that there was to be a SER
vice in the chapel the next day-it
was not strange that every one who
came in contact with his vigorous
J personality, and knew what he had
set himself to do, should have wished
to hear his sermon. And no one was
disappointed for his remarks were
fully of strong and CHEEKY optimism
and every one went away feeling en-
couraged and strengthened in de-
sire to live better and more useful
lives. Perhaps the sentiment of the
congregation was best expressed by
the boy who owned the double run
ner-"I never liked to go to church
but If they have that man, you bet
I'll go every sunday"
SO II was that Rev. Mr.. Scudder
received a unanimous call to the
parish of Westlands, for Westlands
wisely judged that man Of force
who could overcome difficulties, was
especially fitted to undertake the
reconciling of the warning elements
in the little society there.-Susan
Brown Robbins.
