A Fatal Practical Joke.
Joseph Koken. who came to his
death by electrocution in the shop
where he worked at Carrollville, near
Milwaukee, was the victim of a practical
joke.
Koken was an eectrician. He had
started to cut a piece of pipe with a
saw. and left his work for a moment

absence a fellow employe placed the
ends of two live wires on the saw.
and when Koken took hold of it to
pick it up the current entered his
body. He was a good-natured man.
as was indicated by his last words.
"The joke is on me, boys?turn it
off!" But before the current could
be turned off the victim's body became
rigid. When the fatal flow was
stopped he fell a corpse.
Koken was a married man, with
two children depending upon him for
support. The tragedy which cut
short his useful life is typical of
many that have resulted from the
senseless custom known as practical
joking. Homicide is not funny, joking
at the risk of pain or harm to
another is a perversion of humor arising
from stupidity or hardness of
heart. :t should not be tolerated
among individuals claiming to be intelligent.?Evening

'I cannot entertain the idea of j
marrying you." she replied coldly, j
".My heart is with our brave boys at i

"It's a good thing for the boys." he
replied, drawing himself up. "They
need all the ice they can get on the
Mexican border."?Life.

I Sunday morning. Tahina his text

from the 10th chapter or the book o:
Galatians. the main theme of the first
part of his discourse was the worth of
a man. He showed that man cannot
be judged by any worldly standard,
but must be judged by the standard
as set by Jesus Christ. "Service"
was the keynote of the latter part of
l his sermon. He followed more closei
ly the lines of his text. "As we have
therefore opportunity, let us do good
unto all men." He showed that we
! are debtors not only to the past goni
erations. but more especiallv to the
I
j generations to come, illustrating in a
' masterly way by the old coal merchant

;near London. He recited the records
j of many of its graduates, ending with
I John Wesley, the founder of the
j Methodist Church,
j His peroration was unusually strik
i ing. He compared one class of men
| to the Dea sea, which takes ip, all the
i waters of its surrounding valleys, but
| without any outlet of its own. Thus |
j are the lives that these men live, i
| They are below the level o: even j
; common tilings, grasping everything, j
! but givng nothing in returrx. The
j other cla=s he compared to the river
j Nile, having its source in Lake Vic
toria. above the clouds, and as it
i passes through the desert lands of
j Egypt, it gives the very essence of
its self to the upbuilding of the aru
lands around it. So do this class
: class of men render the best sen- j
! vice to all who come in contact with
j them.

he had to leave the city Sunday
afternoon. Dr. Watson, in his own
peculiarly pica sing way. stressed a
few of the points of the rooming's
sermon, especially as they have to
do with young people. For two such
sermons in one day. the people O:
Bamberg ought to fee: particularly
thankful.

tendered by Prof, and Mrs. Klein
aid some of the music pupils and the
literary address was delivered b;? Dr.
Henry Xelson Snyder, president of
Wofford college. The various numbers
on the music programme were
rendered most exceliently.
The address of Dr. Snyder was, as
is usual when Dr. Snyder speaks,
given in a vein that was both humorous
and serious. Dr. Snyder is a
speaker of rare ability and persona;
magnetism, and always has a message
tor his hearers. Many striking
truths were noted in his address,
v. hich was listened to with rapt attention.
Dr. Snyder took as the theme of his
address the "Soul of a School." He
most instructingly traced that a
school did not consist of the buildings.
or campus, trustees, faculty or
graduating class, but of the great
soul of the institution. The real
forces of an educational institution
