far-reaching cadences tiiai was qualified to paralyze a stampeded steer irto forget fulness of the terror that vum drhing him into frenzy, he "raised the . . . ....

no sweetness, for Deacon htamiiasi
could not distinguish a funerai dirge from a college yell. And be i oared off
the first verse of that hymn by nimseu. Dut he was enough. He needed no

dumb with amazement, that choir stood in its silent place wuitirg for him
to reach the cud of the stann, nuenu-
ing to waylay him and head him oil en

know his powers of endurance. He drew but one long, deep breath at the
end of the closing line and went rigni
on with the next vcr-e, developing cumulative power with the exhilaration of his work, until he wound up t belong hymn with a long-drawn halloo that sounded like a cross between a war whoop and a hallelujah.

Tho latter, ho says, aw mere serfs, living in tho meanest condition!! with only the larest neeessitk-s of life.
