GENTLE REBUKE FROM PULPIT
Vet One Somehow Cannot Help Won
dering Whether Sermon Was
Worth Listening To.

Somewhere in the pages Of her
pleasant Book of Joys" Mrs. Lucy
Fitch Perkins tells q delightful story
Of her New England clerical great
grandfather, who was a man of In
genuity and resources. She says:
He employed more than one device
to secure wakefulness on the part of
his weary congregation. Standing
during the prayer was but one Of
many. My grandfather used to tell
US with pride of an instance which &C.
CURED at a time when a new church
edifice had been proposed, and was
under warm discussion. Greatgrand-
father thought this worldly and I'M
necessary expense, and emphasized
his opinion by pausing in the midst Of
his sermon on a Sunday, saying i'm
pressively, as he fixed the somnolent
members of his congregation with a
stern look:
"'You are talking about building q
new church. 1t seems to me quite IN
necessary, since the sleepers in the
old one are all sound" youths Com

Dorothy and the Stork.

When little Dorothy Walworth was
introduced to her baby brother in the
First Methodist Episcopal Parsonage
in Y0nkers, N. Y, she manifested in
tense interest. but was not astonished.
Il knew he was coming" she ex-
claimed: Il knew it."
Pressed for an explanation. the five
year-old said: Il was down to the
Bronx zoo the other day and saw
the stork in his cage. l recognized
him by the black stripes on his wings
that papa said we're there. Well. when
the stork was standing alone on one
leg. l went close to him and whispered
in his ear that wanted him to bring
me baby brother or sister. He didn't
say anything, but knew he would do
It, because he bent his head toward
me and winked an eye"

branch, and then ran in and struck
boldly at the adder, which reared
kissing to meet him. But the blow
fell short, and the rotten wood shat
tered on the ground. Again Win
thrope ran aside for a stick. There
was none near, and as he paused to
alance about, Blake came sprinting
down the glade.
"Where?" he shouted.
"Tbere-Hi! look out! You'll be on
him."
Blake stopped short, barely beyond
| striking distance of the kissing rep
tile.
Wow" he yelled. Puff adder!
Ill fix him."
He leaped back, and thrust his bow
at the snake. The challenge was met
by a vicious lunge. Even where he
stood Winthrope heard the thud of the

Now, once more. tootsie!" Knocked
Blake, swinging up his club.
Again the adder struck at the bow

the flash OF the stroke. Blake's right
foot thrust forward, and his club
came down with all the drive of his

across the thickest part Of the adder's
outstretched body.

shouted Blake. Broke his back, first

put his lips to it, and sucked with
fierce energy.
Then the girl found her voice.
Go away-go away! How dare

scarlet.

Winthrope neither gathered any

was visited by highly irritated bee.
Then he Obeyed with alacrity. Blake
