Good Supply.

During the early years of his career as an evangelist the late D. L. Moody was not quite the practical man of affairs which he became as he grew older and his judgment ripened. A characteristic incident of this period of his life Is vouched for by a correspondent He was holding a series of meetings in a small town In central Illinois, where, with his wife, he enjoyed the hospitality of a prominent citizen. At dinner one day his fancy was particularly taken with some cucumber pickles. “I am very fond of pickles,” he said, “and these are certainly the finest I ever tasted. I wish I could get some Ilk* them In onr market at home.”

“I can give you all you want to take home with yon, Mr. Moody,” said his generous hostess. “But I don’t want them as a gift. I would like to buy them.” "Well, of course, if you would rather have them that way I can pickle a lot of them from our garden and the neighbors’, and my husband can send them to yon. What quantity would you want?” “I think a barrel would be enough,” said Mr. Moody, without a moment’s hesitation. "Send me a barrel of them.” But bore his more practical wife in-terfered;-and the order waa cat down to a small keg.
