A Kid,s Essay on Preachers.

The preacher are the man wot save our souls and never cusses in public. He are the fellow wot helps the wimmen run the church an he wears black clothes an a sosemn look. Everie Sunday he gets up in church and warns you to prepare to go to heaven, no matter whar you mite ruther go. Married preachers has boys who are turf nuts and fite like the devil. Preachers who are single soon get married to keep from havin' to dodge the wimen. Preachers like chickens when furnished by the members; they hit you on the back and call you Mi brother, " also on the pocket book. We have a preacher in our church who will talk the old folks to sleep. Our preacher whistles when he talks, an one Sunday he kept three dogs runnin round tryin' to find out who was whistlin' for 'em. It ended in a hte, an l laffed. But l shall never do it no more when my father is there. --Ex.
 Why did you shake Willie for thae homely little Johnny Jinks?' Well. you see. Willie's only goin' to be preacher when he grows up. and Jimmie's a-goin' to be one of them there milIionaires. "--Chicago Journal

GRECEAS WOMAN 40 RE DE-
PORTED.

Even though il may mean her
forced entrance into the hsrem Of q
wicked pasha" in Damascus, Marie
Hebelia, Grecian woman OF wondrous
beauty, must be deported, according
to the ruling Of the immigration board
10 New York. With her must return,
also, Antonio Jahara, her Christian
brother"
Jahara, according to The woman's
story, brought her TO this country TO
escape the wiles OF q pasha, who fell
in love with her when he saw her
dance in the palace OF Pasha Oura, in
whose harem she was the unwilling
iavorite until the death of her master
gave her the opportunity OF escape,
aided by Jahara.
Marie and Antonio are, according
to their view, religious brother and
sister, both having adopted the Chris
tian religion. They have been friends,
purely platonic, both insist, since she
found him worker in Pasha
Oura's garden and made known
to him her desire to fee from
the harem life. Jahara was ex-
PEELED for showing and interest in the
girl, but seven years later, after Oura
had died, Marie remembered him and
sent him word and be planned her
escape and furnished her the disguise
in which she went aboard ship.
Jahara left q wife in Damascus to
bring Marie to her cousin in this coun-
try, Lut both declared that the wife was
d willing party to the escape, as oil
are Christians. He planned to return
as soon as he got Marie safely to this
country. He was greatly depressed at
the outcome OF their exploit, but Marie
was able to alternate smiles with her
tears, and show her flashing white
teeth. The smiles vanished, however,
when she thought Of the fate OF falling
into the hands of the bad pRsha, "
who saw her dance in the palace OF
Pashs Oura.
