The darkey took the dollar in his hand and the cigar in his mouth. McCiellan walked back, raised his rifle and shot the ashes from the end.

Senator Windom isn't a bit ashamed to remark that he was once a tailor. Senator Hill's cancer was caused by nicotine which got into a,blister on his tongue while he was snaking.

W. S. Lingle has probably occupied the editorial chair for a greater number of years than any other editor in the State.

The Mr. Garrison who was killed at the Long Branch railroad disaster was a millionaire and lived in a "cottage" that cost $100,000—and yet, with all his money and influence, he had to intrust his life to ignorant and careless railroad hands.

Farmer Baskin, of Marshall, Mo., is a man of nerve. He was operating a selfbinder, and while it was running tried to pull some grass from the needle,when it ran through bis left hand. The driver stopped the team, but could not leave it. Mr. Baskin took out a dull pocket-knife, quietly cut off the fore finger at the knuckle, and released his hand.

taking up the work

as A revivalist slx years ago, lit* withdrew from that denomination. His power over the people of the Kentucky mountain region .proved phenomenal, and they firmly believe in him as a worker of miracles. He founds his authority for annointing the sick and penitent on this verse from the Epistle of St. James: "Isany sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church aud let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord and the prayer of faith shall save the sic'*, and the Lord shall raise him up and if be have committed sins they shall be forgiven him.

THE SQ U1RR EL- UP-A- TREE PROBLEM. The Springfield Union recently printed the following problem: A squirrel is up a tree and a man en the ground with a gun is trying to shoot it but the squirrel persists in keeping on the opposite side of the tree from the man. The man walks clean around the tree to the place of starting, the squirrel going about in the same direction and keeping the tree all the time between himself and the man. Now the problem is, 'Has the man been around the squirrel?' He has been around the tree with the squirrel on it, but has he been around the squirrel? The Buffalo Express invited answers to this problem, and received twenty-seven, of which fifteen say yes, the man does go around the squirrel,' and twelve say he does not. A few have sent us their reasons, and two send figures demonstrating the problem. The following answers are printed: 'Of course the man goes arounathe squirrel. He goes around the tree and everything on it.' 'Should the squirrel have the start, I am of the opinion that the man

foes

around it.' 'Not by a darn sight oes the hunter walk around the squirrel. I have tried it, and had I got around the squirrel I would have shot it. If there was no tree there, and the squirrel was running around in a circle on the

{arger

ground, and the man was going in a circle, I should say the man went arouud the squirrel. But when you pat a tree there it is different. The man doesn't go around the squirt el any more than the squirrel goes around the man. Of course, if I am standing on the nigh side of the hOTse, and I start to walk around him, and the horse keeps turning as I go, I am on the nigh side of him all the time, am I not? And I don't go around him if lam on the nigh side all the time, do I? The case is precisely similar to this of a squirrel on a tree."

AN INQUISITIVE CHILD. One of those unnaturally bright children, who are always getting people into difficulties, was at prayer-meeting the other evening, when he spoke aloud: "Ma, say ma—who was Dinah Moore?" "H-u-s-h," whispered his mother cau tiously, "it's a hymn." "No, itain't, ma,"continued thehope fnl, "it's a woman's name say, who's going home to Dinah Moore." "Willie," said his mother in a ghastly voice, "you're disturoing the meeting. It means going to Heaven to die no more." "Dine no more! Oh, ma don't they eat anything there?"

His mother explained as well as she could, and Willie sat still for half a minute, his bright eyes roving about the church. Then he asked, in a shrill whisper: "Ma, is God out of town?" "No-o-o, no-no," answered the distracted woman, faintly. "Then what's Mr. Kelly running this meeting for, ma?" continued tho sWeet child.

The choir sang him down, but as the meeting closed with a moment of silent prayer his gentle voice was distinctly heard saying: "Old Mrs. Jones' switch don't match her hair like yours does, ma!"

A LUCKY THING.

Two or three years ago there was smash-upon the Grand Trunk road, and among the killed was a woman about fifty years old, who lived on the line. The husband was sent for, the body taken caro of, and after a few days an agent Went down to see how the matter could bb«sottled. "It is a sad affair, of course," ho observed, "but in a business point of view we must look at her age. She was over fifty and in poor health then she had weak eyos and a bud cough. She was a wife, of course, but she was also a source of expense and anxiety. While she was companion in one sense, she had a hacking cough and snored in her sleep. Take all those things into consideration, and then tell me what you will settle for?"

The peppery old man had been moving about uneasily, and, as soon as the agent was through, ho called out:

I don't keer how old she was, nor how bad she coughed, nor how loud sho snored 1 want- this 'ere railroad company to come down with $300, or I'll sue 'em till they can't rest And I want you to understand that it's lucky for infernal old line that I happened to find a widow ready to marry me a week from Sunday If I hadn't I'd havo stuck for $•100 if it busted the farm."

noon ADVICE.

Crawfordsville Journal.

Keep a cool head in temperance work, and don't be too swift to judge and condemn othors differing from you. Intemperance in spccch Is sometimes as bad as intemperance in the use of liquor.

SOMETHING LACKING. "Well, does this remind you of old times?" queried one veteran of another after the sham battle Thursday. "Y-e-s," was the hesitating reply." "Anything lacking "Well, yes, a few things. The dead and wouncled are missing—the generals are too near the front—there are no mud holes to drink out of—there will be no bombastic reports—no hard tack—no lean pork—no bean-coffee—no march— no sleeping In fence-corners—no nothing to make an old vet enthuse and get up on bis high heels. Tell you what, but us old soldiers need never expect to sec such good times again."
