The Rev. Simon Turpie was an elo.
9uent speaker. but he seemed to have
list Of sermons which, when he once
began. he went right through to the
end and then started at the first SER
mon again, and so on.
A young man in the congregation
was about to leave for South Africa.
but the Sunday before he departed he
attended the church service.
In the course of his lecture the min
lster used an Illustration in which were
the words. "A maa can easily purchase
two sparrows for threepence.'
The young man, after being absent
Tor about three years, returned and
again on the first opportunity attended
divine service. Strange to say. he
heard the same narrative by the same
minister, the phrase striking him most
being about the two sparrows for
threepence."
At the close Of the service the min
lster, in his courtesy, came and shook
hands with the youth and, welcoming
him back to his home, asked him IL
he noticed any changes about the
place.
The young man, evidently quite un-
concerned, replied, AYE. man. there's

New US, For whe.lbarro~s.

Mrs. Zelia Nuttall. the archaeologist,
was making some excavations In Mex
leo. The Indians were removing the
earth some distance from the point Of
excavation in the customary manner
that is, on piece Of coarse cloth tied
between two poles. stretcher fashion.
carried by two Indians. This method
seemed rather laborious to Mrs. Nut
tall. so she ordered several iron wheel
barrows from the city. When they
arrived she turned them over to the
foreman after explaining to him what
they were for and how to use them.
Next day when she visited the work
the Indians had discarded their prlmi-
tive parihuelas and were using the
bright new wheelbarrows. As each
barrow was filed With earth It was
picked up by two Indians. one using
the handles and the other the wheel,
and carried to the place where the
earth was TO be deposited. All efforts
to get the Indians to use the wheel
barrows properly failed. and they kept
on carrying them until the work was
finished

Q Spf1Shtly English actress, was when

divIlse. was doing tremendous curse
scene on a darkened stage. He had
the audience spellbound with his
sonceous defamation, which, OF course,
they didn't know depended largely
upon his ample mouthful of false
teeth. At the very climax of his blood
curdling maledictions the entire dental
collection dropped out suddenly in the
excitement Of the moment and bound
ed into some obscure hiding place. The
tragedian's mighty voice died down to
an unintelligible humble as he CROPPED
about frantically in search Of the miss
ing masticators. We were all too help
less from laughter to be Of much help
In this critical situation. At last. after
what seemed like half an bour Of the
most hysterical suspense, the stage
manager located the teeth with the aid
OF dark lantern and restored them
to the frantic star, who clapped them
into bis mouth and began cursing
again with redoubled earnestness. I
never knew what the audience thought,
and no one ever dared to ask the actor
manager. New York World.

The only regretful feeling we have
regarding recent animated news
paper discussion is that we seem to
have been misunderstood in the mat
ter of the whiskers. and that the
reference thereto has been con-
sidered unfriendly. On the con-
trary. no resident of the village
takes greater pride than we in those
whiskers. And we now arise to pro-
pose three cheers for 'em; to express
the hope that long may they wave

home of the brave; and that the
humming- birds may in the future
as in the past = happy and undls-
turbed continue to build nests and
rear young within their shady

BILE Of repaying ordinary care than the
heart. This is very true, and an APP
probation OF that fact should cause US
all the more carefully to follow the
wise mans advice and to keep our
heart with all diligence. When we
have regard to the tremendous work
the heart accomplishes we might well
with Wesley say, Strange that harp

tune so long" Estimated in scientific
fashion. mans heart in twenty four
hours performs an amount Of work
which IL represented by the energy de-
manded for big lift would raise 100
tons Of weight one foot high. Such
calculation can be accurately deter
mined BY measuring the force expend-
ed IN one beat or cycle of movement
Of the heart and multiplying the short
work into that Of the day. Thus in no
small degree does the hearts labor
contribute to swell the big total OF the
energy the human engine expends

Doubtless at the present writing
William j. Engle. of Nebraska. is
firmly convinced Of the virtues of
patience. Mr.. Engel is the man who
registered in the Cheyenne River
and Standing Rock drawing and
drew the first number. But. believ-

worth whole flock in the bush,
just three days before the drawing
he filed on claim in the western
part Of South Dakota. When the
drawing began Mr.. Engel's name
was promptest to come out. 1t is
said the first few filings are worth
from eight to ten thousand dollars
each, owing to the fact that thev
may be located on the edge of some
promising town-site on line Of rail

man wants to relinquish his claim
and file on the one he drew. But
