some people advocate that no

1T seems that if two persons,

entitled to it six months, or one

Many Said II Was as Good as Circus.

Moses, and the sight CT the minister
of the gospel driving a horse that was
permanent circus caused consider
able scandal in these part. Aunt
Rhinocolura Betz. who is one OF the
best contributors in the congregation.
gave notice that she was going TO
withdraw, and other leading society
folks followed her example.
II was then that Rev Ebenezer,
driven to desperation. sent for Alder
man Bud Winters. He had tried
everything in his own vocabulary I'M
availingly. but the moment Alderman
Winters opened his luxurious store OF
cuss words the effect on Moses was
instantaneous. For each variety OF
oath Moses performed a different act
and the only difficulty seemed to be
that Alderman Winters did not have
in stock the particular kind of swear
that would make Moses act like q
regular horse. The nearest he came
to IL was when he said, "Blankety
blankety, your blank hide" At this
Moses did cake walk on four legs
and Rev. Ebenezer had TO be salts
fed with that. II was better thar

Rev. Ebenezer is man OF bulidol
tenacity. and he is having Bud VIII

and swear at Moses. lie hopes some
day Alderman Winters will sweat

The trouble is that the congregation
knows II, and they are trying TO de
eide whether they shall discharge Rev
Ebenezer for having profane Language

charge him for having a horse tina

Rev. Ebenezer Spillgath OF Betz-
Vile Is I'm serious trouble with his
congregation at present, and II all
goes to show that one should not be
too forward in the good work OF smit'
ing the wicked. II is all right to smite
the wicked. for that is all the wicked
are good for. but any one desiring TO
smite should be careful not 10 pick
out a wicked that will smite back.
When Purdon's Three-Ring Circus
and Intentionally Great Menagerie
was in town about a month ago. II
happened TO be here on Thursday. and
Rev. Ebenezer was greatly angered
to find that when he opened prayer
meeting that night he had the meeting
entirely TO himself, and he decided
that as the Egyptians-so to speak
had spoiled his meeting, he would
wreak vengeance on them and spoil
the Egyptians AS the circus had
moved on to Billingsville that night,
Rev. Ebenezer harnessed up his
mare Rebecca, and drove over, and
on the way over he made up his mind
how he would spoil the Egyptians.
Rev Mr.. Spillgath is noted in this
county as one OF the most progressive
and slick horse traders on earth, and
he decided he would spoil the Egyp-
tons in a horse race. He was not
aware. at that time, he says. that the
Egyptians we're just spelling to be
spoiled.
When Rev. Ebenezer returned &c

Betzville Friday evening he no longer
drove Rebecca, but white horse, and
he wore a smile that informed one
and all that he felt he had success
fully spoiled the Egyptians and that
he had spoiled them good and hard.
Many were the congratulations he re-
ceived from Uncle Ashdod Clute and
other prominent citizens of Betzville,
and ne announced that IL was his in
tention to call the horse. hitherto bear
ing the sinful name of SkeeZicks, by
the more appropriate name OF Moses.
The next morning Rev. Ebenezer
harnessed Moses and started on one
of his accustomed tours of mercy and
business. since his salary compels him
/ to peddle watermelons between his
stops at the homes of the sick and
soul-sad. and all went well until he
reached Main street Here he paused
and entered into a controversy. with
Alderman Bud Winters. on the merits
Of free liquor as against the mulct tax,
when, suddenly, Moses arose upon his
hind legs, and stood gracefully bal
anced thus. IL was a thrilling scene
Alderman Winters scooting else
where Rev. Ebenezer exiting from
his buggy head first. and Moses stand
ing on his hind legs. All this, set
against the background of the Bank
rupt Store and the post Office made
one of the pictures that will go down
in the history Of Betzville forever.
AS soon as Rev. Ebenezer regained
his composure he examined Moses
and very superficial examination
proved that Moses was still standing
on his rear legs. Nothing that Rev
Ebenezer could do would bring the
horse to any other posture. The horse
seemed to want TO stand that way
and so IL stood that way. II Rev
Ebenezer ever became angry he came
near II then, but a whip seemed to do
not a bit OF good and when. with his
patience quite exhausted, Rev Eben
ezer entered his buggy and whipped
up, Moses went his way on his hinC
legs. Many said 1t was as good as {
circus.

Law awake wondering what had caused
the beast TO act in this strange way.
by daylight he decided that some
word said in the presence OF the horse
must have been a signal for the act'
and he proceeded 10 the barn and re-
peated TO the horse, as nearly as pos
sible, what he had said TO Alderman
Bud Winters. Nothing worth chroni-
cling happened, and with sad heart
Rev. Ebenezer harnessed the upright
horse and went his way.
At the corner OF Main and Cross
streets he met large body OF citi-
zens, all much interested. among
whom was Alderman Bud Winters.
and resuming the discussion OF the
day before, Alderman Winters ex-
pressed himself in his usual free and
profane way. In the midst OF the dis
cussion Moses suddenly up ended him
self. with his rear legs in the air. and
and stood on his front hoofs. In vain
did Rev. Ebenezer speak TO the brute 4;
he was compelled at last TO continue
his rounds with Moses walking on
his fore feet. That night. and SIX
nights thereafter. Moses slept in his
stall with his rear roofs against the
rafters. and whenever Rev. EbeneZeI
went for a drive he was followed by
a horde of interested parties. 1t was
very annoying.

Dunn Murder Case Ends.

Fort Wayne ~ Upon the motion
OF Prosecuting Attorney Albert r.
Thomas in the circuit court the
charge OF murder against Charles
Dunn was nolle pressed, thus ending
one of the most famous murder cases
in the history OF Allen county. This
means that the case will not be
further prosecuted. Dunn was con
victed of the murder OF Alice Cothrell.
a little girl who lived with her parents
near the Dunn home in Wallen. This
conviction occurred about seven years
ago. Dunn was sent TO the peniten-
tiary where he remained until he
was granted a new trial. He was
again convicted and at a third trial
the jury disagreed. Since that time
Dunn has been free under bail OF
$4,000. The case was one OF the
most sensational ever coming up in
the Allen circuit court.
