Pessimistic Deacon pniIander.

Deacon Philander OF our church is
so practical that at times he appears
to be profane. says the Kansas City
Star. Our minister. very modest
and well aiming man. approached
Philander tre other day and said.
Brother Philander. we are to be con.
graduated. OF course YOU noticed
what an immense congregation we had
at our special services the other eve
ming. am told that at the opera
house there was very small crowd
out to see the show. The interest In
our work is certainly increasing won
derfully. Yes" replied old Philan-
der. very solemnly. Il noticed the
things of which you speak. but much
fear that things would be different
II we charged dollar admission and
the show at the opera house was free. "

turned Blanche. with a sweet smile.
"He is always trying to do something

this time," retorted Marcia disgust
edly.
There was certainly a wide contrast
between the spruce, handsome consul
and the limping, tattered native whose
arm he held In aiding him to walk. The
native looked as II he had been rolled
a mile in the dust-laden road. His
clothing was nearly torn of from him.

and bruises. lie was gasping for
breath and seemed to be In q state OF
almost complete exhaustion.

him into his charge. Then he ap.

THAT he had already covered one
hundred miles without rising upright
for the past six weeks? Yes" declared
Walter.

widow, with Indifferent curiosity.
"As a penalty. He was starving
and stole measure Of meal. The law
put him at year Of hard labor. The
priest OF his sect fined him twenty
taels, or the horrible ordeal he was
undergoing"
And you paid his fine. infer"

Il could not resist doing It, replied
Walter.

Allan Ryan Replies Holly Suze Sulzer Talks in Theatre

defended Gov sulser at the impeachment
trial. he and the other lawyers had their
hands full In the first few days after the
Assembly adopted the articles Of impeach"
ment In keeping the Governor from calling
out the militia in his own behalf.
For two days Sulzer was on tiptoe. His
reluctance to hand over the AFFAIRS of the
state to Mr.. Glynn is a matter OF record
and stories went around Albany at the
time tfat many Of the Governors friends
we're urging him ito protect his power
against 0lynn with the full force Of the
States militia.
II appears from the story told here yes
terday that the one man who was most
anxious to 20 to extremes was Sulzei
himself He talked the plan over with his
lawyers They we're set against II from
the start. but with each refusal to give
their assent Sulzer came back with fresh
arguments in favor OF calling out the
soldiers.
Finally the lawyers were pushed into a
corner. Sulzer seemed wild to surround
himself with soldiers and cannon. In their
extremity the lawyers looked for an argu-
mept which the Governor would accept as
conclusive. They assured him that II he
sought the help Of the militia. the people
would rise against him. There would he
bloOished. The Peoples House would be
burned and Sulzer himself, would be the
hrst man shot.
