A "Sundy" Sermon.

Billy Sundy, formerly famous as
a baseball player,is doing service as
an evangelist. Considerable fault
has been found with Mr.. Sundy
because of his alleged "indecen-
cies" of expression. The Des
Moines (Iowa) Tribune, however,
says that one can not do justice to
Suudy without hearing him. And
it adds:
I'VE desire to here quote an ex-
tract from one of his sermons, and
we defy his enemies to fud any

ture of sermonizing, either for the
beauty Of expression, the fitness to
the occasion, or the effectiveness

It is best to keep ones personal
dignity at whatever cost. A be.
fitting sense Of what is due one
never comes amiss, even within
prison precincts. This truth wa.
appreciated BY an Irishman who's,
expression Of it is quoted BY Michaer
MacDonagh in "Irish Life and
Character" The prisoner, refrac.
tory and obstinate, fatty refused Il
work in the treadniII.
The man was brought before The
governor Of the prison for disobe-
dience. The governor asked hin
what reason he could give for not
following out his orders.
"Me 90 on the treadmil" ex.
claimed the prisoner, drawing him
self up to his full height Of offend.
ed dignity. "Eeyer, sir! I'd rather

Giant Cranes, Minust.

Australia. the land of oddities,
animal, vegetable and mineral, has
few more curious creatures than the
giant cranes-often FIVE and six feet
in height, with beautiful blue gray
plumage, which are called native
companions. These huge birds mate
for life and as mates are singular
ly and touchingly devoted to one
another. Among their practices
thatSf dancing together is the most
remarkable. To and fro and up and
down, beneath scraggy tree near a
creek or water hole, a pair Of these
curious birds may be seen in the
hour of dawn footing it gravely in q
sort of grotesque minuet. There Is
a strange sort Of angularity about
all their movements, but withal n
certain grace, bizarre and notable.
Curious stories are told Of the won.
derful human-like devotion one to
another which is sometimes shown
by these great cranes.-St. James
Gazette.

A DRAMATIC CLIMAX.
Il Didn't Come In just the Way u
Had Been Planned.

Had Been Planned.
Her great-great-grandmothe had
been an actress and praeticed dra-
matte situations. The old lady had
also practiced walking home when
the company stranded. The histri-
onic talent had therefore come
down to Clara de We're in legiti-
mate way.
Graduation day was at hand, and
she determined to take a dramatic
advantage of the occasion. She
studied and thought and planned,
and at length she hit it. Paul Ross
more, the clerk in the music store
at $40 per week, would be there
and have a front seat, and at the
critical moment he would spr.lg
upon the stage and

and she appeared. She was a vision
in white. Never had she looked
more lovely. Never had she SEEM
ed to have more nerve-not a
halt nor a tremor as she came for
ward and faced that large and en-
thusiastic audience. In a loud,
clear voice she began. In a voice
without a sign of timidity in it she
read her essay almost to the last
line, and then she wavered, STUN
bled, lost her presence of mind and
seemed about to faint.
The audience began to applaud
to encourage her, but it was too
late. She swayed, tottered about
and threw her Paul his cue and
was about to sink to the floor when
a man sprang upon the stage and
clasped her in his strong arms and
whispered in her ear to be brave.
1t was not her Paul. He was still
sitting there like bump on log.
He was a one horse grocer named
Hogg. He was fifty years old and
had red whiskers and a bald head.
With a shrek of despair Miss
Clara twisted herself out Of his
arms, called him an idiot and fed
behind the curtain. The dramatic
situation had been knocked into a
cooked hat, and never again-never
more on this earth--would she
speak to the young man who hadn't
got his wits and his legs united
soon enough to play the hero to her
heroine and end the graduation
exercises with red and green fire
and women fainting away all over
the hall.-Joe Kerr in st. Louis
