Murchison was in town the other day with his usual supply of unusual experiences. The other ! night he heard distressing cries out in the darkness of his front yard. He went to see what was the mat-j ter and found a man and a mule there. The man was old, unkempt, and had a wooden leg. He wanted to stay all night. Considering the appearance of the stranger, Mr. Muri chison hesitated. But because the | man only wanted to. stay on the! porch, Mr. Murchison decided to let j I the man remain, especially since j he could not forget about the Bible j story of entertaining angels un-j awares. The next morning found the j stranger up and ready for break-1 I fast. He said that he was a piano j mender, but did not volunteer to! tune Mr. Murchison's instrument. He proved to be quite a Bible stu g?g&Z?S3H59BH2HBnB^HnEHHI!9B )F 31SS * I . ) \ n vf mnm ' ^ ' / le thing for gs are Palm 1. ' 1 <X 5 'IS ^.50 a X in Pn m vu? .. ' ' dent and travellor. Pebbles, trinkets, bone camels heads and other articles were in his collection. Each -'S and every one of them had a great religious significance. And the man was a veritable prophet concerning the war. He could tell when it would end and how. In short, Mr. Murchison got so enthused that he forgot to ask any board and the man was a-muling way down the road before anything of the kind entered his head. ?
