On Safe Ground.

Whenever, on one Of his rare holi.
days, Captain Goldby went to the city,
he took some young relative with him
as a special treat. On one such occa,
sion he told his seventeehyear-old

they would dine at a real RESTRAINT
and get taste Of fancy cooking"
When they were at last seated IN
the great dining room, the grandson
waited impatiently while the captain

SOME OLD TIME PREACHERS
In Pioneer Days In Missouri Every d.
vine Carried a Gun With Him
20 Church.

Nearly every pioneer preacher In
Missouri was as expert In the use or
the rife as any Of the laymen, says q
writer in the Globe-Democrat. Serv-
Ices were usually held in a neigh.
boris cabin. Notice OF a meeting"
was promptly and generally circu-
lated, and the settlers attended, uni.
tormly bringing their rifles to guard
against possible surprises or to OBJ
tain game on the way to or from the
service.
The practice of carrying firearms
was not abandoned or suspended even
on the Sabbath. An old pioneer states
that on one occasion religious serv-
Ices were held In Saline county when
the preacher proclaimed the gospel Of
peace with his hand and his clothing
covered with blood from a deer that
he had killed and butchered on his
way to the meeting that morning
The pioneer preachers lsbored with
out money and without price. They
gained their subsistence as did their
neighbors, by the rife and by their
daily toll In the clearings and the
corn fields,
Rev. Justinlan Williams, Methodist
and Rev, Peyton Nowlin and Rev
Thomas Kinney. Baptists, were the
hrst preachers In Saline county. They
preached on Edmonson's Creek, and
In the Big Bottom. "Old Man Now
ln," as he was called, was a sedate
gentleman, dry as to manners and ser
mons, but with a kind heart and good
Intention.
His colleague, Kinney however, was
of iovial disposition and very pop
ular, He was without literary at
ta!nments, but invariably provoked hi;
congregation to laughter Nowlir
took him to task upon one occasion
tor his levity. Kinney answered:
"Well, I'd rather preach to laughing
devils than to sleepy ones, as you do
You make them sleep and l make
them laugh. My congregation vii

WHERE MARRYING IS WRONG
Fellows Of Oxford University, Eng.
land, IN Certain Circumstances
Are Penallxed for Wedding.

Much 10 heard Of the taxation Of
bachelors; but little ia ever said or
the communities wherein matrimony
Is deemed q punishable oifense. Per
haps the most extraordinary ideas
with reference TO this subject may
be said to be held at oxford Univer-
sity In England. There, for instance,
a fellow Of All Souls College forfeits
his fellowship. II when studying the
classics, he should take unto himself
wife. In such event he must not
only pay penalty, but must also pre-
sent his college with q memorial in
the shape OF silver cup, with the fur
ther condition that on this cup shall
be inscribed in Latin, He backslid
into matrimony."
There ia an aristocratc club In Lon
don, the Bachelors Of Piccadllly,
whereof the members who so far for
get their loyalty to the club as to
marry are actually expelled and ostra.
ciSed, The only saving feature of
such expulsion is that, by the pay
nent Of fine Of one hundred dollars,
the offending one may retain an hon.
! orary membership; but, so far as &C.
tive membership is concerned, he is
strictly out OF It for the rest OF his
life.
There Is q similar organization In
Germany, the Junggesellen Club.
Whenever there comes to the officials
Of this club any Intimation that g
member contemplates matrimony, he
Is Immediately summoned for trial In
the club court, with the president as
judge. The culprlt is allowed to plead
In eXtenuation Of his offense. and up
on bis skill In presenting such plea
depends the amount Of his fine, which
ranges from one hundred 10 one thou
sand dollars. The humorous feature
Of the fine consists in the application
made. The money is devoted TO a
dinner, whereat all members appear
in mourning attire. At tho conclu
sion Of the repast the president sol
EMMY reads the sentence of expul
sion, and the delinquent Is led from
the room amid the groans and lamen
tations Of his erstwhile club fellows
