were in the condition of the gooo
old praying member Of the church
who was afflicted all at once with
every disease in the catalogue. He
had rheumatism and aneurism and
curvature of the spine, and was fin
ally stricken with paralysis; but
after months of suffering he got
better and went stumbling one even

preacher rose and said, Now,

The children awake in certain
Emmett family recently, oppressed
by the silence. 1t was 8 o'clock,
and usally before that hour they had
been called repeatedly by both
mother and father, and there was
noise of getting breakfast in the
kitchen, and usually delicious smell
fioated upstairs. Nothing like that
this morning. and rather alarmed,
they dressed and hurried downstairs.
Not sign of life in the kitchen or
dining room. and. when a knock at
their parents bedroom door failed
OF response, they pushed it open,
ran in, expecting to find their par
ents dead. But they lay there Sleep
ing very soundly, so soundly that,
when the children cried, and called,
there was no response. They slap
ped their mothers face, and pulled
their fathers mustache, and finally
poured water on them. "Oh, go
way, can't your the mother growl-
ed. Cant you let fellow sleep?"
snorted the father. 1t was 10 before
they got their parents up, and the
mother and father dressed slowly,
and with much grumbiing. This
has happened three mornings now.
and the children are ready to die of
bewilderment and fright. They
don't realize that very clever faith
er and mother. tired of fight every
to get the children up. are
trying new plan by turning the |
tables on them.
