jRumorous Jfpartratnt. Wasted Oratory. A young curate who had recently taken orders was appointed to a church where the vicar was extremely energetic, so much so that when he had been there six months he had never had a chance of preaching. This, he thought, was very hard lines, as he felt sure that he had the making of a great orator In him. One day, however, his vicar told him that there would be a child to christen the next Sunday afternoon, and that as he (the vicar) would be engaged elsewhere, it would be left to the curate to conduct the service. "Now," he thought to himself, "If I am not allowed to preach, I will at least avail myself of this opportunity to let some portion of the congregation know what my oratorical powers are." The eventful afternoon arrived; the child's father, mother, uncles and aunts, godfather and godmother stood round the font. The service went very well until he had to take the child in his arms. He took hold of It as If it were a torpedo, and then delivered himself of this oration: "My dear brethren, before I proceed to christen this child I woulf like to address a few words to the sponsors as to its future welfare. It is an old saying and a true one that the child is father to the man. Now, this Infant I hold In my arms may. If properly trained, rise to great eminence. He might one day, if well brought up. get into parliament and become a second Balfour or Campbell-Bannerman, and pass such laws as would be of benefit to the whole British empire; or. again, he might become a great soldier and emulate the deeds of Kitchener or Lord Roberts. Should he go Into the church he might eventually become archbishop of Canterbury or a great missionary, and be the means of converting thousands of souls. "If he enter the medical profession, why should he not be a Jenner or a Pasteur, or a man like Harvey, who discovered the circulation of the blood? Should he turn his attention to commerce, what is there to prevent him becoming Lord Mayor of London? "As a scientific man he might be a Newton or an Edison. What Is the child's name?" "Mary Anne, please, sir." The baby fell into the font?Tit-Bits. He Should nave own rvnwu. Not Ion# ago a woman appeared at the office of the claims agent of an Arkansas railroad. "To* steam kars Is done kilt my mule Molly,- she announced, tragically. "Well, madam. If It was the fault of the company you will be recompensed, you may rest assured." the agent said, soothingly. "What were the circumstances, and what was the mule worth?" "Molly war the best mule ah ever seed," the woman said, wiping her eyes with a bonnet string. "Ah done ploughed that mule for seven years, an" thar warn't nothin' the matter with her, 'ceptln' she was kinder lame in | her nigh hind lalg, an' blind In oneeye. Ah give $40 an' two bed quilts an three seeks of dried peaches for ner, an' she war as good as the day ah got her." "Where was the mule killed?" the agent asked. "Hit war at the crossln', an' yo' fast mail train jest knocked her plumb over ther fence an' inter a gully." "The mule strayed upon the track, I presume?" The woman looked at him indlg nantly. "Oh, no; Molly never would 'a' been fool enough to walk In front of a train ?my old man was ridin' her," she said.

"Want a lift, mister?" asked a goodnatured Maryland farmer driving that way. "Thank you," responded Mr. Lorlmer, "I will avail, myself of your kind offer." The two rode in silence for a while. Presently the teamster asked: "Professional man?" "Yes," answered Lorimer, who was thinking of a bill he had pending before the house. After another long pause the farmer observed: "Say, you ain't a lawyer or you'd be talkin'; you ain't a doctor, 'cause you ain't got no satchel, and you shore ain't a preacher from the looks of you. What is your profession. anyhow?" "I am a politician," replied Lorimer. The Marylander gave a snort of disgust. "Politics ain't no profession; j>olltlcs is a disorder."?Success. Value op Expectation.?A popular New England preacher says that If his sermon ever stretches beyond the twenty minutes to which he means alwas to limit it. the words of his little daughter ring In his ears and he reflects that some of his congregation are doubtless feeling as she did on a memorable occasion. The occasion was the little girl's sixth birthday, which chanced to come on Thanksgiving day. She went to church with her mother and sat quietly through the service. The sermon was unusually good, the minister could not help thinking: he had plenty to say. and he said It fluently. "How did you like my sermon?" he asked his young critic as they walked home together, her small hand in his big one. "You preached awful long, father." said the little girl, "but I beared it because I love you. and I knew I'd have a nice dinner when I got home and forgot what I'd been through."? Youth's Companion.

"Maybe you will and maybe you won't," retorted the broker. "You never can tell about these things. I may not be strong on sentiment, but one thing I insist on is that no man shall leave a woman's picture in a watch that he pawns here."?New York Press. ittiscellanrous iSradini].

R Shuford and Deputy Sheriff Bob Rhyne made a big haul Saturday night when they captured three barrels of whisky, contain- i Ing 1385 gallons, and a wagon and a i pair of mules. The gentleman who had charge of the outfit. John Sharpe by name, did not take a fancy to the officers and left them In their glory. His present whereabouts is problematical and whether he will return to clitim his mules and wagon Is a question. Sheriff Shuford had been notified to go to a certain place near the Lincoln county line and make a search. He left Dallas' after dark In company with Deputy Bob Rhyne. At a point up the roiul some distance above Dallas In a dense stretch of woods they met a covered wagon. me omcer ( alighted and Inquired of the stranger ? what he was hauling In a covered wagon at night, to which he received the reply "nothing." Not satisfied with the answer, however, the sheriff Instituted a search and found in the wagon three barrels of whisky. 138J gallons in all, properly' stamped and addressed to Andy McCarter at a point In South Carolina. Sharpe was searched and In hlg pocket was found a bill showing that the whisky was rent by M. P. Stroup of Crouse, to Andy McCarter and the bill called for 128J gallons at $1.67$ per gallon. The whisky was shipped from J. C. Summers at Salisbury to M. P. Stroup at Crouse. Sharpe claimed that he had been engaged by McCarter to haul the booze from Crouse to South Carolina, and he was to be paid $8 for his trouble. The agreement to do this was made a few days ago, he said, when he was at Hickory Grove, having hauled a load of crockery there. Sharpe lives in Catawba county. On the return to Dallas, Sharpe managed to take the officer by surprise and escaped, but left his wagon and mules In the hands of the officers. The sheriff brought his goods to Dallas, locking the booze up In the jail and the mules and wagon In the barn. He notified the Internal revenue department and Deputy J. D. Albright of Salisbury came over yesterday. He went to Dallas but left the whisky there subject to further orders which will be given In a few days. It Is believed that, as a result of this capture, some Indictments for the violation of state laws will follow. It Is understood that Mr. Stroup was fined heavily at a recent term of Lin- ; coin court for selling: whisky, contra- 1 ry to law and that he has before had trouble along this line. MOST POPULAR HYMNS. How Some of the Moet Famous Were Written. Strange and pathetic are many of the stories connected with the origin of famous hymns. In some cases, however, fictitious romances have been built round the beautiful words sung i In our chapels and churches. For many 1 years It was believed that Cowper's "God Moves In a Mysterious Way" was written as an outpouring of the poet's soul In gratitude for the frustration of his attempted suicide In October, 1773. The fact, however, that this hymn has been found in a manuscript In which the latest date Is August, 1773, proves that It was written before Cowper's attempt on his life. Then, again. It is a popular belief that Augustus Toplady wrote "Rock of Ages" while sheltering from a storm between two limestone rocks in the Mendlps. No proof of the story is forthcoming, however, and consequently It must be accepted with caution. But there Is no doubt that the author of "Christians, Awake," John Byron, composed that magnificent hymn as a Christmas gift to his favorite daughter, Dorothy, for he Inscribed upon the manuscript, "Christmas Day for Dolly." It was characteristic of the late Bishop Bickersteth, who wrote "Peace, Perfect Peace," that he always found it easiest to express in verse whatever subject was uppermost In his mind. One day he heard a sermon delivered by Canon Gibbon, vicar of Harrogate, on the text, "Thou wilt keep him In perfect peace whose mind Is stayed on Thee," and shortly afterward went to visit an aged and dying relative, Archdeacon Hill of Liverpool. Bishop Bickersteth found the archdeacon somewhat troubled in mind, and, it being natural to him to express in verse the spiritual comfort which he desired to convey, the bishop took up a sheet of paper and there and then wrote down the hymn just exactly as It stands, and read It to his dying friend. An example of a hymn being written to suit a certain tune is furnished by the grand old favorite, "I Think When I Read that Sweet Story of Old." Mrs. Luke, the author, was very mucfi Impressed one day by an old Greek tune which she had seen the children of the Normal Infant school, Gray's Inn road, marching to, and while going on the stage coach she wrote the words to suit the music on the back of an old envelope. There are two accounts of how "Just As I Am" came to be written. One authority asserts that it was while she lay In great physical weakness on a sofa, the other members of the family being present at a bazaar in which all but the invalid were taking an active part, that Charlotte Elliott, the author of the hymn, wrote the words which have stirred the hearts of thousands. On the other hand the story is that a young girl was going to the town to choose a new dress for a ball. On her way she met a priest who said she ought not -to go. However, she went, but did not enjoy the evening at all and returned home miserable. Charlotte Elliott (for that was the young girl's name) went to confess to her priest all about It. and asked what she should do. He advised her to go home and tell Jesus all about It. "Just as I am"" she said. "Yes, just as you are." She returned home, and on her knees composed the hymn. The proofs, however, seem to point to the first story, which Is given by Dr. Julian. Dr. Julian, by the way, tells us that the total number of Christian hymns in the 200 or more languages and dialects in which they have been written is not less than 400,000. Germany coming first with 100,000 and England n?xt. The most popular hymns, according to a census which he has taken, are "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross," "Awake. My Soul, and With the Sun." Hark, the Herald Angels Sing" and "Rock of Ages Cleft for me."?Tit-Bits. ? W The county of London covers 75,442 acres, but the London police area is 443,421 acres. Ana Metals Axjve??"Metals have life," said a metallurgist firmly. "Not much life, but a little. As plants' lives are to ours, so are metals' lives to plants." "Here's the proof. "You know how a strip of muscle will contract under the electric current, and how, finally, It grows fired and contracts no longer? Well, with a strip of platinum it Is the same thing. The platinum, too, grows tired and refuses to contract "And metals can be stimulated, depressed, poisoned. Thus: "Platinum wire. Immersed In water, gives off an electric current that may easily be measured. If you put bicarbonate of soda in the water the stimulated wire gives off a stronger current. Put in bromide of potassium, and the depressed wire gives off a weaker current. Finally put in oxalic acid and the poisoned wire gives off no current at all. It will never again give off any current. It is dead. "Now I leave it to you. If you can tire a metal, depress it, exhilarate it and finally administer to it a fatal dose of poison, have you not the right to say that the metal has life?"?Philadelphia Bulletin.
