WAS THE DEACON?

Deacon Jones, the great man Of
little village Of Massachusetts.
whose outward piety was of the
vocifeIous order, but whose chart
ty toward his fellow men was not
as Astounding as it might have
been, was dangerously i'll, and his
brother deacons, impressed with
the custom of issuing bulletins
from the sick rooms of prominent
individuals, decided to follow the
fashion, with the following re-
suits:
"6 z. NJ. Deacon Jones is in a
serious condition."
81 Z. NJ. Deacon Jones has raj.
lied slightly"
80 p. NJ Deacon Jones has suf.
fered relapse
al z. NJ. Deacon Jones has de-
parted tor heaven
Thus the bulletins read at mid
night; but early in the morning
some unregenerate mortal who did
not love the Deacon, evidently
passed that way, for the light Of a
new day showed curious towns
people the later report:

the Colorado Southern bridge

the United States Government rep.
reSentatlves want to determine
whether or not these mats can DO
any injury to the levee system by
changing the current or forcing
the current of the stream against
the levees.

law Cooperate.
Shortly after his marriage, which
took place In 1880, John Burns, the
British labor leader, settled down as
journeyman engineer In Battersea and
twenty years after confessed that he
was the fTt engineer to make with
his, own hands al electric tram
car In Great Britain. In those days,
however, people did not believe that
electric traction was possible, and
Burns had to take the dynamo and
tram to the Crystal palace and run the
latter round the grounds for six months
before people could be induced to be-
lleve In the novelty.
But the people were so nervous that,
although the charge was only sixpence,
none Of them would venture in the
newfangled invention. Then Burns was
struck with a brilliant idea. He said
to his wife. You have got to come
down to the palace three times week
ard get into the first electric tram car
as a decoy duck for the others" This
was only temporarily successful. SO
Burns brought along his mother-in-
law. "and" said the energetic labor
leader when relating the incident,
"when husband. a wife and mother
in-law cooperate success is assured"
