SOME OLD TIME PREACHERS
in Pioneer Days In Missouri Every Di-
vine Carried a Gun With Him
to Church,

Nearly every pioneer preacher in
Missouri was as expert in the use of
the rifle as any of the laymen, says a
writer in the Globe-Democrat. Serv-
Ices were usually held in neigh
pors cabin. Notice of a meeting
was promptly and generally circu-
lated, and the settlers attended, uni
formly 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 labored with
out money and without price. Phey
gained their subsistence as did their
neighbors, by the rifle and by their
daily toll in the clearings and the
corn fields
Rev. Justinian Williams, Methodist,
and Rev. Peyton Nowlin and Rev.
Thomas Kinney. Baptists, were the
first preachers in Saline county. They
preached on Edmonson's Creek, and
in the Big Bottom, rOld Man Now
lin." 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 jovial disposition and very pop
ular. He was without literary at
tainments, but invariably provoked his
congregation to laughter. Nowlin
took him TO task upon one occasion
Tor his levity. Kinney answered:
We'll, 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 will
pass yours on the road to heaven. ]
bet you a coonskin they will.'

They Put An End To Il

Charles Sable, 30 Cook ST.. Rochester,
n. Y. says he recommends Foley
kidney Pills at every opportunity be-
cause they gave him prompt relief
from bad case of kidney trouble
that had long bothered him. Such a
recommendation, coming from Mr..
Sable, is direct and convincing evil
dence of the great curative qualities

Great Sea Moneter.

While one of the gardeners in
Proomhall gardens was digging a
trench recently, says the London
Globe. he came upon an ancient sand
bed On further excavations being
made for the purpose of securing sand
for gardening purposes. huge bone
was discovered. The bone is believed
so be one Of the vertebrae of whale
or other great sea monster. If that
be SO. the waters of the Firth of Forth
must have extended at least quarter
of mile farther inland at some very
fanote period. The osseous find was
deposited in Lord Elgin's museum at
2roomhall. r.t.s@ 1"

Only here and there is
still trace of the life that has made
the city world famous. Gay Vienna"
has become misnomer. Its gayety
is dead when compared with that of
Berlin and Paris and only the beauti-
full operettes and sensuous dreamy
music of Franz Lehar, is keeping this
fame alive The streets at night, for
merly presenting a lively animated
picture of cosmopolitan life, are al
most deserted by 10 o'clock in sharp
contrast to those of Berlin.
To one who has not been in Vienna
for some years, the change is surpris-
ing. There are still the cafes where
people enjoy themselves as only the
Viennese can, but there is lack of
the former zest, bubbling yivacity,
spontaneousness and enthusiasm,

quenters and the Viennese are still
fond of spending the evenings in the
cafes, depart early and few OF them
keep open all night.
Possibly it may be attributed in
part to the fact that gayety in Vienna
is not staged for the particular bene-
fit of the tourists, as is the case in
some OF the other continental cities.
Although one Of the most interesting
of European cities, it is a little of
the beaten tourist path.
Two reasons are given by the Wen
nese for the dying out of Gay
Vienna" First, the fact that there
has been no court life to speak of
since the death of Empress Elizabeth
/ by assassination in 1897, and second
I that Vienna has not been touched b,

prosperity that hit Berlin severa

wave of prosperity and sudden
wealth that has swept over Berlin. III
fact it seems to have passed over
the Austrian capital and touched at
Budapest. The capital of Hungary
has had remarkable growth in the
last few years and much of Vienna's
former gayety has transferred itself
to Budapest. Building operations in
Vienna have virtually been at stand
still for some time and as conse-
uuence rents are tremendous and the
need of dwellings in this city OF two
million people, has become so ur-
gent, that the city authorities are
taking measures to help erect build
ings for the poorer classes. This, TO-
gether with the general rise in the
cost OF living, keenly felt in this coun-
try of low wages, and dead court
life has been the wet blanket that is
extinguishing the gayety of Vienna.
For, after all, it takes money to pay
