JaiV?-rawkK wifli Kim OOBUHy UU WU& ? kvr wiuiut nmu UWM. He carried the sausage in the back pocket of his coat, and a dog catching the scent, followed him. Every few feet the preacher would kick backward at the dog without looking around. Arriving at church, the preacher began the services, and the dog lay down behind the altar. A few minutes later one of the deacons stole quietly up behind the preacher, intending to hand him a sheet of paper, and pulled his coat tail. Without glancing back the preacher gave one vicions kick and sent the deacon rolling down the altar steps on to the dog, which set up a terrible howling. The preacher, still looking straight ahead, said: "My friends, this thieving scoundrel has been trying to rob me ever since I made a purchase at the butcher shop before coming here." When the preacher discovered what he had done he dismissed the congregation and went outside to kick the dog.?Sedalia (Mo.) Democrat. THAT TICKLING IN THE THROAT.
