MARK TWAIN STORIES.
An Unintended Joke and Bit Of tho
Humorist's Wit.

England fairly reveled in Mark
Twain At one of the great banquets
q roll Of the distinguished guests was
called and the names properly ap-
plauded. Mark Twain, busily engag-
ed in low conversation with his neigh
Dor, applauded without listening, Wig
orously or mildly as the others led.
Finally name was followed by a
great burst Of long and vehement Clap
ping. This must be some very great
person indeed, and Mark Twain, not
to be outdone in his approval, stoutly
kept his hands going until all the 9TH
ers had finished
Whose name was that we were just
applauding?" he asked Of his neighbor.

But it was no matter-they took 1t all
as one Of his jokes.
He was a wonder and delight to
them. Whatever he did or said was
to them supremely amusing When on
one occasion a speaker humorously re-
ferred to his American habit of carry
ing s cotton umbrella. his reply that he
did so Lecause it was the only kind of
an umbrella that an Englishman
wouldn't steal was repeated all over

SURE CURE FOR HYDROPHOBIA
EASY TREATMENT AT HONE

While The Herald and News re-
porter (then on the Observer wa,
spending brief vacation at the home
OF his brother-in-law, VIM. F. Wright,
in Laurens county, the past summer,
he saw a negro woman who, when
she was a child, had been cured Of
nydrophobia. Mr.. Wright said he knew
Of several persons who had been cur
ed by the same treatment. We have
taken the pains to copy the article
in the possession of Mr.. Wright, which
is as follows:
Judge Robert J. Breckinridge, OF
Danville, KY, one of the most learned
jurists of the South, gave the follow
ing sure cure for hydrophobia:
"One ounce and a half of Elecam-
pane root, bruised; put into a pint of
new milk and reduced one-half b,
boiling. Take it all at once in the
morning, fasting until afternoon, or
at least not eating until several hours
have passed. The second dose should
be the same as the first, except two
ounces of the root are needed. The
third dose should be the same as the
second. Three doses are all that is
needed for the cure. This medicine
can be given at any time before the
spasms come upon the bitten person.
:Au dose for a horse or cow should
be three or four times as large as that
for a person.

When you mail your check your trou-
be is over and the banks has just begun,
for the bank warrants to you three things,
all for your own protection and at it's own
risk. It is we'll to know them.
It guarantees (a) That it will pay only
the checks you have signe1. If your name
is forged and the bank pays the check, it
cannot charge the amount to your account
(b) That it will pay only N the sum orig
inaI.y drawn. If some one gets your check
and raises the amount, making it appar-
emily genuine check, the bank can only
ly drew the check, unless it can show you
were grossly careless in so drawing that
you invited fraud. Therefore be careful
to draw your checks properly; (c) To pay
to the party to whom you ordered the
amount paid and none other. If the check
gets into the hands of strangers who
forge the Endorsement, so that the party
to whom you ordered the money paid does
not get it, the payment is at it's risk, and
you are harmless.
All this is ultimately for your good as
a depositor You know that your account
cannot be drawn against except on your
order You know that the party you want
to receive payment gets it. You get back
the most perfect voucher known to the
business world. Many dispute has been
settled and loss and law suit avoided by
producing bank vouchers that told in no
uncertain way that payment had been
made according to the intent of the draw
er. Therefore for your own good you
ought to keep your money in bank, and
draw it out by check-A. B. A.

THE PREACHERS SALARY

4 T the recent Northern Baptist con-

and the good sense to take the floor and
make the statement that the average sal
airy of the preacher is far too small. We
heartily agree with the gentleman from
New York We know men in the min
istry who are woefully unpaid, and yet
were they engaged in most any other line
they have the ability to command large
salaries. That isn't justice, and the peo-
pie should hang their heads in shame. We
have heard of ministers with fairly large
families to support, who were not earn
ing to exceed $500 year. And yet those
men were expected to dress we'll and to
dress their families we'll, and to labor
faithfully and efficiently for the redemp-
tion of mankind. Many a minister's "sal-
airy" is mere mockery. Any man with
"a trade earns more than they. And yet
these ministers go on, year in and year
out, living from hand to mouth. making
great sacrifices and giving literally to ev-
cry worthy cause-knOWng full we'll that
they are aging day by day. that there is
nothing saved for old age that eventual
ly they must face an humiliating position,
Such conditions are not right, and should

see that our ministers are amply paid.
Give them chance to save something! A
sensational evangelist will come into city
or town, run wild at the mouth, work peo-
pie up into hysterical cor 1ition- and go
away with thousands of dollars! There
is no Justice in that. It is the pastor who
is with you every day and who breaches
to you on Sunday, who buries your dead
and marries your betrothed and visits and
consoles your sick who should be given
first consideration. When will the people
see the light -Winnebago Enterprise.

SOMETIMES A NUISANCE

THERE may be times and reasons when
and why it is necessary for child
under twelve yeals of age to at
tend public meeting unaccompsnied by
an older person We say maybe-but can
didly we can't conceive of any such neces-
sity. It looks to us like a getting rid of a
child by his fond CD parents. Where a
child accompanies his parents and IS OBJ
lged to keep reasonably quiet his pres
ence is at least bearable although then,
in nine cases out of ten he is better at
home and in bed if the meeting is an
evening one. But to let a child attend a
meeting alone, sit in the front row Of the
audience and make himself obnoxious by
restlessness, noise or moving about the
room, makes not only for the discomfort
of the audience, but is bad citizenship
training for the youngster as we'll. Chill
dren in their places are the source Of pleas
ure to all who know them; out of their
places they are nuisances. Two years ago
the Chautauqua platform manager stated
that Redwood Fails children made the en-
tertaners under his management more
uncomfortable than the children Of any
other town on his circuit. Chautauqua
time is approaching and it may be as we'll
for Redwood Falls parents to give this
statement a passing thought.

Getting Your Money Out OF The Bank

IF the bank rendered no other service to
the community than to protect its
vauables it would render useful
one but it would be a mouse-trap propo-
sition, you could only go one way; but the
bank makes it easier to get money out
than in, and in the outgoing process as
Sumes risks and renders benefits too often
lost sight of in the busy whirl of business
We take many things for granted and
live in a matter-of-fact age. We want our
morning paper at the breakfast table with
never delay and with little thought of
what it costs to collect, transmit, type,
print and deliver the news. We want our
train on the dot or we get impatient. We
want our milk and our coal, blizzard or no
blizzard. We likewise expect the bank to
do our business smoothly, efficiently, and
without thought of the cost or the risks
attending.
When your bank hands you a check
book, it gives you license to draw as many
checks, in as large or as small sums as
you wish, with the only provision Except
in certain cases where minimum balance
is requred) that you do not overdraw, and
promises to honor your checks as pre-
sented as long as your balance is stuff
cient to pay them.
Whether you want to pay your credi
tor in the next block, or a thousand miles
away, the checking privilege of a bank
account permits you to make your pay
ment with ease, safety and despatch.

THE COURTEOUS AUDIENCE

n EDWOOD Falls audiences are strange
X ly lacking in courtesy to the speak
ers and entertainers who appear on
the local stage. This fact is so noticeable
that it is commented upon freely by out
of-town visitors, and, in very many cases,
by the person who has occupied the plat
form. A restless, wiggly, twisty, whis-
pering, gum-chewing audience is an insult
to any speaker, far greater insult than
empty Seats The statement will be borne
out by those at the Armory Friday even
ing who were there because they were
serious in their desire to hear the mes
sage of the speaker, to show the senior
class the respect due it and to show that
at least part of the townspeople are in
telligent enough to wish to give genuine
attention. The whispered or murmured
comments and gossip, the restless moving
in the seats and the pushing of chairs on
the floor all helped to create an atmos-
phere which was equally unpleasant for
the speaker and those interested in his
address. The restlessness was
shown by the people of the city and
by many who claim real interest in mat
tiers of intellect and education. Assume
a virtue if you have it not If you are
not interested at least pay the courtesy
of an assumed attention, and let those
really interested listen in peace.
