Minke took a notion to go in swimming, and he had just got his clothes off when he! saw Deacon Smith's bull making at him the bull w«s a vicious animal, and had come iij-ar killing a or throe persons—consequently. Mike felt rath.-r! "jubus." He didn't want to call for help, for he was naked, and the near-

How different is it here— n. barn to meet in, no reward of merit in any shape or t«rm, and, in fact no.encouragemont is held out to them, which is, hiis been and always will be the vitality of all such organizations. We have two good companies, composed of, more energetic men than we have
