Stag Sleeping Car

Rock Island Argus.
Having heard the call of the man
who wants to make himself at home
while travelling, the Pullman company
has produced the stag sleeping car.
The home man wants to take off his
coat and waistcoat, his cravat, his
collar, shoes-maybe even his shirt
and trot around getting ready for
bed as though he were in his own
family circle. Always in the past,
however, there has been a bunch of
straightfaced women sitting about,
looking with coldly disappearing eyes

pare to retire on the installment

fills the bill. No women are allowed,

RAP AT MODERN PREACHERS
Bishop Denny Tells Good Story In
Which Distinct Moral Is Not
Tco Well Hidden.

Bishop Collins Denny said IN an
address in Richmond:
81 heard a story the other day that
hits a good many preachers. 1t seems
that the janitor of fashionable
church was showing his wife through
the edifce At the end Of the inspec-
tion he said to her:
Would you like to hear me
preach?
go on! You can't preachr she
objected.
Cant 1, thought said the janitor,
and he went up into the pulpit and
ranted and roared and ragged good
20 minutes or more about the vile sins
committed daily by the heather in
equatorial Africa.
Then when he finished. he said, as
he came down, wiping his hot face:
There; how was that for SER
menT
LIT was mighty fne,' said his wife.
But you told all about the sins Of the
natives away off in Africa and never
a word about the sins Of the folks
right here at home.
The janitor chuckled.
"EHa! Ha! he said 4 know the
tricks Of preachin' too well for that ?"

for the first time in the history OF the
