night, Mr.. Garland announced last
night in the meeting at the First

sermons this remarkable man has
already delivefed here, there will
not be one dull word in the mes

our people, and on every hand there
is only praise and appreciation of
his preaching. In the simplest and
most straightforward manner he
presents the gospel, proving his ev-
cry statement by a "thus saith the
Lord.

the church last night, making five

An admiraPs sword which had been
surrendered to Nelson by the Spanish
admiral on board the San Josef after
the battle of St. Vincent, has Just been
sold for about $25. The sword was
worth much more to Nelson, and to
Great Britain. For this victory of 1897
is of peculiar significance in Brltain's
naval history, in that it first revealed
the full capacity of Nelson-already
well known in the nayy--to all his
countrymen and led to his appoint
ment as rear admiral In this action,
when the Spaniards seemed likely to
escape, Nelson, without waiting for or
ders, threw his ship, the Captain,
across their bows, a movement which
led to their complete defeat, Nelson
received the swords Of the Spanish of
ficers on the deck of the San Josef and
became mt once a popular figure.

Her Business.

Judge T. ]. Mol of Superior court,
room 5, sometimes tells a story which
runs like this:
In one Of the courts in southern In
diana a woman was on trial for the
unlawful practice of sOrcery. She was
being questioned by the prosecution,
but her occupation made her sufficient
ly adept in repartee to offset any in
eliminating evidence which she might
have thrown on herself by a committal
answer Finally the judge became
irate and shot this question to her
point blank:
Are you or are you not a sor-
ceress?" And just as quickly came
back the answer:
"YOur honor, that's my business"
The judge was on the point of SEN
fencing her for contempt Of court
when he realized that she had given
"a perfectly civil answer.-Indianapol
