Taking No Chances.

1t is said that New England min
lister once told the following story just
before the collection was taken up:
81 have heard of man, prosperous
and well to do, who went to church
one Sunday and put a cent-just a
plain copper cent-in the collection
box On the way home he was over
taken by a sudden heavy shower and,
having no umbrella, crawled into a
hollow log by the roadside to keep him
self dry until the downpour was over.
"Soon the log began to swell, and
the wetter it got the more it swelled
until the sides finally closed in on the
prosperous citizen and held him in a
grip like wise. The rain ceased, but
the unfortunate man was unable to
move hand or foot He shouted for
help, but no one heard him. He was
about to give up in despair when he
suddenly thought of the cent he had
dropped into the collection box that
day, and it made him feel SO mean and
small that be crawled right out of the
log without any further trouble.
Now, if you expect to get caught in
shower aud.be obliged to take refuge
in hollow log on the way home, by
all means put cent in the contribu.
tion basket If you don't anticipate q
crisis of that sort-well, you will know
what to do when the basket is pass
ed. "
The minister expected a shower OF
silver and bills to follow this story
but unfortunately just as the collec
tion began black cloud passed over
head, it suddenly began to sprinkle ant
the pennies fairly rained into the con
tribution basket. Only one quarter,
solitary dime and lone nickel wer,
found among the eoppers, and they go
in before the shower began.
The congregation, it seems, had al
left their umbrellas at home. and the,
were not taking any chances. New

Cause for Alarm.

An elderly patient in the Ten
nessee mountain region was suffering
from malady the remedy for which
the doctor prescribed in the form of
capsules. The old woman trusted
her medical adviser. but for medicine
she evinced much suspicion. Some
time after she bad taken the capsules
she was asked by her son how she
felt.
"Porely."
"Don't you want nuthin' to eat?"

Soon however. the old lady arose
from her bed and took her seat in a
rocking chair. Thinking that the
attention would be gratefully recelv-
ed, the son filled her pipe, and, tax

Peanuts and Sleep.

Recently friend who had heard
that sometimes suffer from insomnia
told me of sure cure. "Eat pea
nuts and drink two or three glasses
of milk before going to bed" said
he, "and I'll warrant you'll be asleep
within half an hour" | did as he
suggested, and now for the benefit
of others who may be afflicted with
insomnia feel it to be my duty to
report what happened, SO far as am
able to recall the details.

after my retirement. Then friend

NOT RELIGION
But Something Very Different
Which Animated Eliza.

Mrs. S. of New Orleans has for many
years been faithfully served by two
negro women who, although bound by
the tie of common devotion to their
mistress, yet detest each other cor
daily, so that the kitchen is the scene
of continuous battle.
Martha, the cook, is the leading light
in the church. At revival meetings
she was always the first to occupy the
mourners bench, the first to shout
"Hallelujah - and to fall into those
contortions Of body and outfiinging of
limbs that to the African mean get
ting religion. Eliza, the maid of
all work, on the other hand, had al
ways been an unregenerate heather,
scoffing at religion, jeering at Martha
and declaring no power on earth could
induce her to 60 inside a church.
Great, therefore, was Mrs. S. IS sur
prise on the occasion of the last reviv-
al to find that it was Eliza and not
Martha who was attending the meet
ings.
"Why, Martha, she exclaimed,
"aren't you going to church,"
NOM" answered Martha sullenly.
"Why?"
"'Cause dat Liza she goes now. :"
But isn't there room for both of
your"
Nom, dey amt"
All Martha's pent-up Indignation
emphasized the answer.
Cause, Miss Mary, dat Liza she
jes goes ter spite me. No sooner l
gifts up to go to de mo ners' bench
dan Liza she follers me and sets down
clost beside me, and befo' l has a
chanst ter git 'ligion Liza she begins

This is a new preparation and a
good one. 1t is especially valuable as
a cure for chronic and muscular rheu-

have invariably spoken of it in the
highest terms of praise Lame back,
lame shoulder and stiff neck are due to
rheumatism of the muscles, usually
brought ON by exposure to cold or
damp, and are quickly cured by apply
ing this liniment freely and massaging

exercise or injury, is allayed by this

"Che pitcher for the Royals was j.

fine game, only walking two men and
striking out nine men. Sci played a
