Thereupon the Sunday school super- intendent was dismissed from his position for mischief making. This step made the feeling more bitter than ever, and the rector found it necessary to state from the pulpit that the use of wine would be continued as long as he remained. in his position.

They buried the body in a ewamy. Fearing the discovery of the crime, Keefer shortly thereafter fled to Oregon, where he took to stock raising. He was getting along very well, and nobody in the vicinity had any BUS pioion that he was guilty oia wanton murder; but his passion for liquor finally gave him away. He went on a prolonged spree that came near winding up in a fit of delirium tremens, and in that condition boastfully told the story of his mime. When he came to his senses he found himself in custody. and although he then denied the truth of what he had let out, it was too late to retrieve his blunder.

They said theywanted to have things their own way at home, and they couldn’t so long as their father lived.

The congregation of the Christian Church at Canton, Ohio, will not be in a. very favor- able frame of mind for receiving gospel truth this morning. The brethren are much ox- cited in regard to the charges made by three ladies against Pastor Henseiman, their spirit» us] guide. It is boldly stated that the passer kissed these good siakers, not merely without their permission, but in spite of their strug~ glee. One is a widow, to whom his kiss was by way of consolation, a few brief hours after two others! ave husbands, one of whom, who does not appear to be fully sanctified. has oflered to settle with Pastor Henselman for 3300 in cash. Brother Henselman thinks this is much more than the alleged kiss was worth. but he is em~ barrassed by the fact that the angry and unsanotified husband threatens to put a bullet through him if payment is not made at once. Pastor Henselman is said to justify himself on the ground that he has kissed other ladies, and that he sees no harm in it. The ladies and their friends do not, however, accept this as justification. The church officials are considering the aflair, and the probability is that the pastor will be ecclesias- tically bounced, The members of the Old Testament company of the American Bible Revision committee will hold their next meeting on Monday, September 24, in room 44, Bible House, New York, the meeting to continue during the whole of the week.

The Away out in Manitoba the Mennonites are l divided into two parties, each of which is waging against the other a war of unrelenting bitterness. The question involved is not one concerning original sin, future damnation, or the everlasting punishment of the wicked. Were it any of three, the contest might be less bitter. it is one of the most petty met- ters in dress, or rather in dress trimming. One side is known as the Hook and eye party. The other is called the Button party. The old fashion among the Menonnites was for the brethren to fasten their costs with hooks and eyes. The progressive among them have recently introduced the fashion of using but- tons and buttonholes, just as the world’s people do, but still adhering to the practice of having the garment out straight in front from the neck down. The Hook and eye party denounce the use of buttons as e sinful conformity to the ways oi a wicked world, and regard the wearers of buttons as the enemies of pure and undefiled religion. The Button ites insist that there is no sin in buttons, and that they are far more convenient than hooks and eyes. The Hook and eye party can make some show of Scripture for their side of the ‘ controversy. for both hooks and eyes are mentioned in the Bible, while buttons are not i once spoken of. .n e 1,,» e... ~rv.._._ -_. Students of the international Sunday school lesson will today find their attention occu- pied with the story of the barren fig tree, as narrated in Mark xi, 12-23. Jesus had been all night at Bethany. and in the morning was walking with His disciples to Jerusalem, which is but a short distance. By the road.- side was a fig tree with no figs on it. It was not yet the season for gathering figs, so that it would not have been reasonable to look for rips figs among the leaves of this tree. But there seems to have been no fruit uponit at not even in the early etage or the formation all, of figs. Jesus pronounced upon it the:sen- tense. “ No man eat fruit of thee forever‘ hereafter.” This seems a strange trans- action, naturally demanding an explanation The explanation is found by contrasting the incident with a saying of Jesus : “ Here‘ in is my Father glorified, that ye hear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples." This parsage is appropriately used for the golden text of the lesson. In hearing nothing they dry up and wither. The force of the lesson and contrast appears in the closing verses o! the passage. The next morning, when the disciples passed along the same read, they ‘ noticed that this tree had withered away. They called the attention of Jesus to it. He told them to have faith in God; that is to say, that they should believe that what He told them would surely come to pass. As with unprofitable trees and unprofitable ser- vants, so with unprofitable followers of God. They 1- re regarded of no use, and cannot Wln His favor. The Rev.

Samuel Shin asked leave in open meeting to protect the hell by an. invention of his own. Leave was granted, and the result was seen as the jani- tor opened the place Saturday afternoon to make ready for the usual weekly meeting at night. Mr. Shin‘e invention consisted of a pound of powder innocently stored away in an old nail keg, and the keg placed where a stranger would use it to look through the transom, A pressure of two pounds on the head of the keg would scratch a. match and explode the powder. Some men would have grown weary of waiting, but Samuel knew that if he fished long enough he was certain to catch a. whale. When the hall opened Saturday evening Mr. Shin had all the remains spread out on .top of Waydown Beebe'a plug hat. There was a. button, seven hairs, the heel of a 5001:, a finger nail, and a. part of a document be» ginning “iuh : “ To the Hon. the Common Coun â€"” A hole in the roof through which twenty seven stars looked placidly down on the bear trap indicated ihe ulterior direction taken by the balance of the remaine. The force of the explosion knocked the safe over and broke one hinge, and the pictures on the walls were more or less damaged, but Cadaver Smith came forward and offered to make good i the damage out of his own pocket.

Be that as it may he reached the ante room and paused for a moment to cast a look of contempt at the stuffed oppossum over the door leading into the lodge, There stood the innocent nail keg and the transom was open. The human hyena probably cackled with delight as he saw bhe easy way prepared for him, but it was hi3 last oaokle on earth.

The sum total was an old red cent which had been run over by a street car, and as he held it; up to view Brother Gardner re- marked : “ It dnt hat had bin passed fur money to buy shoes fur a bar’ fuied family I shouldn’t have looked fur less than ten dollars in change. We seem to be a club which doan' believe dat a poo’ man kin satisfy his hunger or clothe his family wid print-ed matter.” A letter from the Rev. Tobago Jones, of Mobile, asked if it was true that the Lima- Kiln Club had passed a resolution asking Congress to rob the treasury and divide up the money between them and go home and have done with it. The President said that such a. resolution was now on his desk and might be presented at the next meeting. GOT ['1‘ AGAIN. At this juncture Samuel Shin, who had been eating herrings allthe evening started for the water pail to quench his thirst, On his way he stumbled over Lord Plug Dsnforth’s No. 14’s fell against the stove, and the result was the full of fourteen links of stove pipe. Pickles Smith was knocked down. Judge Cadaver wounded on the neck end various other members were flung into corners. As soon as the confusion had subsided Samuel was ordered to come forward, and without any beating around the bush he was fined $3,256.25, and sentenced to sit on the floor at every subsequent meeting until the fine was paid The secretary announced a further commu- nication from Buggy Button. Fla... stating the fact that the colored people in that vicinity had formed a Saw Duet Club, and desired to affiliate with the Lime Kiln. Brother Gardner ordered the secretary to open corre- spondence with red ink and corn colored en- velopes, and in case it was found that the Saw Dusters were composed of sixteen members and were provided with a three- hooped water pail, a. thermometer and a stove with regular hinges to the door, to any that the Lime Kiln would affiliate up to the twen- ty-seventh degree. Giveadsm Jones sent to the secretary's desk a letter which he had received from Uhiâ€" cego, signed Ginger J ackson, preferring charges against a. member of the club residing there, named Cyclone Sampson. The charges were : Betting his fare on the street ears and mistaking e cooper shop for a. saloon. Brother Gardner ordered the committee on clean tions to investigate and report, and if the charges are sustained Brother Jackson may prepare himself for a standing jump of thirty- two feet. The solemn voice of the triangle now anâ€" nounced that the safety of the country was an assured fact, and as the water pail was turned bottom side up'and the safe rolled back to place. thu glee club burst into delicious song and the meeting fell asunder. How an Editor Receives and Cares for His Guests. Brooklyn Eagle. ” Ah, glad to see you.” said the political editor. jumping up and welcoming a thin little gentleman in black, who was just enter- ing his room. " Just the party I’ve been looking for. Couldn’t come in a more oppor- tune time. I have a. volume to tell you, and I must have your opinion on a. thousand thingisI wish to know. Take off your coat. Don’t stand on ceremony, my dear old boy. Throw your feet up on the desk and tip your chair just as far as you like. I haven’t a. thing to do for a. week but to attempt to make you feel at home and comfortable. You haven’t got an extra. cigar about you.:' 1:1-1 - “an,” .°-- ..... -__.-.. V. “ I never smoke, ugiri’qsaivd the little gentlgman. "find I didn’t expect you knew “ I know, of course not," said the editor, grasping his visitor by the hand and leading him wi$h great deference to his own chair. “ Take my chair, old man. Had it made to order. The best in the ofiice. There. now [of me take your hat, and please remove your coat. I know you must find it terribly warm in this ofliee. Take a fan. Now don’t be afraid to throw your feet upon the desk if you feel more‘ comfortable in that attitude. Shelll send the devil out for half a dozen claret. or would you prefer a mixed drinkâ€"â€" a gin cocktail, or perhaps a. champagne cook- tailâ€"" " Iâ€"I don’t drink,” said the little man. falling into the editor’s chair and galing up blankly into the soribe’s face. “ I am very much obliged to you, but I don’t remember ever meeting you before, andn” “ My dear boy, don’t mention it," said the editor : “ I’m sorry you don’t drink, but per- haps a glass of iced eea or an ice cream soda wouldn’t go badly. Anything in the world to make you comfortable and happy, and per- fectly at your ease. You cannot imagine how delighted I am to have the opportunity of making you my guest. I may say my honored guest. Now isn’t there anything in the world that you would appreciate in the way of refreshment? My dear boy, you look unoomtottnble. Do put your feet up on the deck and sling your coat in the corner. Take off your shoes if you have come. Don’t mind me in the least. my dear boy. Don't mind me in the least." MAKING HIM FEEL AT HOME. ” But, sir, I never saw you before. and I don’t understandâ€"” “ You will oblige me by not mentioning such a trifling matter,” said the editor. “ Just settle right down and take a nap it you like, just the some as if ydt'were in your own house. Shall I put the window up 9. little more, or would the draft be too strong upon your back ? Perhaps you have rheumatism. It you have, my dear boy. I know an excellent remedy for it. My great grandfather on my mother’s side eul- iered dreadfully from that painful disease until he struck that remedy. We’ve kept the remedy in the family ever since. But per- haps you are not a sufferer. Perhaps you wouldn’t object to a. regular gale through that window. How does the atmosphere suit you anyway ‘I Tell me the truth now, old boy." ___ -_J “a "If that-i;;;1;tvf:â€";diirfiurprise me: and I must say I’_m_ V931" _ , “ Don’t think of thanking me for any- thing,” said the editor. “I shall be supremely happy if you are only comfortable and per- fectly at your ease. Now is there nothing I can order for you ? Perhaps you haven’t dined. Perhaps a few soft shell crabs, a salad and a bottle of beerâ€"but no, you do not drink. Tell the truth now, old fellow ; have you dined to-day 2 I’m just about to send out for my own lunch. Do allow me, to order you something.” “ I-Iâ€" that is, I didn’t expectâ€"” “ Of course not, my dear old fellow." said the editor, slapping the little gentleman on the back. “ Of course not, but you are quite 1 sure you are making yourself perfectly at home. Remember the oflioe and all it con- tains is at your disposal.” “ But I came to ask youâ€"” “ Yes, exactly," said the editor. “You came to ask me of regular things worth knowing, volumes of questions, and I have nothing to do for the next week or two; shall be only too happy to convert you into a walk- ing useful volume of information. Why, my dear boy, don’t hesitate to sling in your ques- tions. We editors, you know. just revel in answering anything and everything. and as for timeâ€"why we simply earn our money by kicking our heels at the wall and whistling the latest opera airs. Nothing to do from one year's end to the other, old fellow, but draw our salaries, so settle right to it and sling your inquiries to the anxious. But first you are quite sure you are comfortable. I might send out for a steamer chair, or how would a hammock slung opposite the window over there suit you. I don‘t take my daily Turkish baths until four o’clock, but of course you will join me,” but just here the little gen- tleman suddenly dropped to the drift of the editor’s discourse and vanished.
