^tumorous department. AFRAID TO GIVE THEM THE CHANCE New Orleans to the north-bred mai is a curious city with its strongly con trasted population, and not the leasi interesting place there is the healtl office, where is kept an accurate rec ord of births and deaths. From then also all marriage licenses are issued and the men behind.the long countei come face to face constantly with th( sorrows and joys of the great popula tion. A marriage license is a necessi ty, but the absence of it had not deter red an old African from joining it holy bonds at different times fully 1(K of his color and kind. Finally, from some source or another, the old mac learned that his marriages were not legal without the record and its ac compauying license, and he became troubed in his mind. He appeared al length at the health office. "Mawnin'," said be as he ambled in. "Be dis de place whar you obscure de licenses to marry ?" "Yes, sir." Then with much evident mental peturbation he proceeded to state his case, and to express his desire and de sign to right the wrong. "Have you no reoord of the marriages you have made ?" "No, boes, I have none. Nebbei thought but what I was intendin' tc de Lo'd's business. But they's legal ain't they?" he continued anxiously "No. I am afraid not; and the only thing for you to do will be tc marry them all over again." "Yah I No, sah! You s'pose I'f gwine let dem niggahs know they'se not married? No, sah. Why some of dem young bucks is done tired now, and if I tell 'em they'se not married they'll be droppin'out jes'like tarrypins jumpin' off a log." Too Good a Preacher.?"How do you like that new minister of yours ?" asked Deacon Snaggs of Elder Berry. <<T>m afi*M h?'a tnn nnwerful. We can't stand it." "How's that?" "Well, you see, he preached a trial sermon on salvation, and every unrepentant sinner in the audience came up and joined the church. So we engaged him. The next Sunday he preached on the duty of marriage, and every old bachelor and widower in the congregation hooked on to an old maid and was married before Saturday night. He got a $5 fee out oi every couple. But the worst came last Sunday. He preached upon the duty of giving all to the Lord, and I hope I may never die if the two dea.cons didn't sprain their backs carrying around the contribution baskets, they were so loaded down with silver. When the congregation was dismissed it was just like leaving a faro bankthere wasn't a cent in the crowd. The house had all the money. We can't stand such eloquence." A Bit op Kentucky Humor.? When Dr. Bowling, a pioneer medical man in the south, began practice he settled in the wilds of Kentucky, where he sat in front of his cabin foi six months without a call. At last he heard the clatter of a horse's hoofs and a lank barefooted Kentuckian appeared. "Are you a doctor?" he asked. "Yes and a good one," said Bowling. "What is the matter with thai 'ar foot ?" the man inquired, placing his heel on the fence. The doctor examined it closely and replied : "That. -I- :?? T >) sir, is erysipelas. xui y uuiuiu , oam the man, "a bee stung me." The doctor moved to Nashville. Progress and Poverty.?Western Man?"Oh, you folks are too slow, Why don't you build up towns tht way we do ?" Eastern Man?"Our towns are growing." W. M.?"You don't rush them enough. You ought to start dozens of new enterprises every day." E. M.?"Such things take capital and we are poor." W. M.?"Why, what keeps you poor ?" E. M.?"Sending money to our enterprising relatives who have gone West." But He Knocked Out Evolution.?Young Minister?"Well, Mr, Bilderback, how did you like my dis course this morning?" Old Farmer?"It was a mighty fine one, Mr. Swackhammer. I don'l think I ever heard a better sermon agin evolution.

It is written of vid that the Lord presorved him whl soever ho wont, and that ho reigned all Israel, executing Judgment and ju among all his people (I Chron. xvlil 14).
