REALLY OPENED THEIR EYES
Parishioner's Remark, However, Left
Young Minister Somewhat in
In the Dark.

Rev Henry r. Rose in the Newark
Star tells the story of a young min
lister who had recently taken charge
of small parish in Vermont. He
aspired to greater things and large
field. and in the hope that his reputae
ton would travel beyond the limits OF
the village to which he had been sent
he threw into his sermons all the
force and eloquence at his command.
He was, however. totally unprepared
for what was intended for compli-
ment, but which was put to him In
such way that 1t left him in doubt
as to the real impression he had made.
One Sunday morning, after an espe-
cially brilliant effort, he was greeted
by an old lady, who was one OF tho
most faithful attendants at all serv-
ices. Approaching the young minister.
she said: "Ah. sir. we do enjoy your
sermons so much, they are so in
structive Do you believe it. we never
knew what sin was until you came to
the parish"

GOT HIS soBRIQUET EARLY
Honest John" Kelly Proved His Right
to the Title Long Before
Manhood.

There have been many stories about
the manner in which Honest John
Kelly, the ex-umpire. first got his nick
name Mr.. Kelly himself. according
to a New York letter, holds that It
came to him naturally, for even as
small boy the purity of his soul shone
through his face. Il think the first
time | was ever called Honest John
was when l was quite youngster.
said Kelly. "A man engaged as an
ambulatory salesman Of ttnware ob-
served the ingenious countenance /
presented to the world and hailed me.
You look honest, boy" said he. What
might your name be?' John said !,
quite simply. 'John'-just like that.
Then hold my horse while l 60 IN
the saloon and get drink said ne.
And SO held his horse while he went
in the saloon and got a drink. But
this was on lower Ninth avenue. In
day when the avenues honors went
to the man who could clean the most
cops in a given time. By and by the
gang came along and beheld that
wagon full of tinware. The peddler
was detained within by sore thirst.
and they took the tinware. And then
they came back and took the cush-
ions of tho wagon. Eventually. be-
coming daring, they unhitched the
wagon and took 1t away. True to my
trust, stood there. holding the horse.
