mobile was arraigned before the may

The accused protested, said 1t was
a poor law under which he was fined
and that he did not think it would hold
water in court.
The mayor declared any law found
ed on the Bible was good enough for
him. The defendant said he couldn't
see where q tail light had anything to
do with the Bible. The mayor looked
pityingly at the accused, and said:
do you remember the tale about
the ten virgins five of whom had lights
and five of whom didn't? Well, if you
do, you will remember that the Lord
wouldn't have anything to do with the
five without lights, and neither will

Progressed by Slow Stages.

Thirty years ago the men Of Hart%
shay, a hamlet of Derbyshire. England,
were accustomed to meet at bridge
on the edge Of the town, where they
would read the papers and discuss
events. This was all right in summer
time, but In the winter it was differ
ent and they would occasionally adj
journ to a sheltered spot under the
bridge. From this they moved into 81
vacated pigsty and later annexed an
other pigsty. This rude building was
improved by their own efforts until It
was fairly comfortable place. From
this humble origin there is now a
rather pretentious library, with the
best papers and magazines and a
stock Of good books.

NECkTlE HALTED A ROMANCE
Forty Years Made Up When Man

Forty years ago John EInmons and
Charity Timmons Of Bishopville, Del,
were twenty years old and sweet
hearts. With her own hands Miss
Timmons made q neckde as a gift for
her young gallant. The evening Of
the day he received It Emmons put it

the girl, and she went into the house.
That apparently was the end of the
romance. Fmmons went to Portland,

a big department store in the far
Northwestern city, he returned TO
Bishopville last Christmas for a visit

A famous Scotch minister Of the
last century was very absent minded
and many amusing stories are told of
this awkward failing. On one occa-
sion he had arranged to preach in a
certain church a few miles from Aber>
deem. He set out on a pony in good
time, but when near the END of the
journey he felt desire to take j pinch
of snuff The wind was blowing in
his face, so he turned the head of the
pony around, the better to enjoy the
luxury. Pocketing his snuffbox, he
started the pony without thinking to
turn it in the right direction, and he
did not discover his error until he
found himself back in Aberdeen, at the
very time when he ought to have been
preaching seven miles away.-Buffalo

"Good Angel" UnapprecIated.

Many times our best angels are not
appreciated. The very fact that we
are so accustomed to their ministry
makes them commonplace. Bill was
handy man at a certain college. He
didn't get rich on what he did but he
knew more about things than any one
there. He just naturally took the re-
sponsibility for everything. But no
one appreciated him. In fact he be-
came something Of joke and every
body took occasion to shove off re-
sponsibility on him knowing that he
could be counted on putting anything
through that he undertook. So they
worked the willing horse until he was
picked up by more appreciative con-
Germ and the college lost a good angel.
incidentally I might add, two men and
typist are doing the same work.

THIS "ANGEL" WAS A KITE
But superstitious Railroad Man Whc
Shot 1t Down Was Certainly
Scared for a Time.

THE shooting,' says a Texas man,
occurred some years ago on the Pan
handle branch of the Santa Fe, and
the hero of the tale was a superstitious
engineer who believed in warnings
"One night he was rolling along at
Il good speed, when he saw a clear,
white light, like Il will-o'-the-Wisp,

feet in front He shut off steam and

running up to the engine to see what
was the matter.

neer. and the crew went ahead to In

pulled out again. but he went slowly,
and in a few minutes stopped again.
The crew went ahead once more to
see what was the cause of the light.

shot there was a crash. scream. and
the light went out, and something
white came huttering down from the
clouds
The engineer was scared You've
shot an angel sure he said to the
conductor with a face as pale as

Investigation brough out the fact
that a small boy, with lantern tied
to the tail of a kite. was the cause Of
