Sometimes obedience has its faults.;
There is a Rome boy who has >
reached that age when he feels that
the whole wide world is looking at him
whenever he comes out into public. '
He would rather starve to death very
slowly than to eat his-dinner in a res- j
taurant, for strange people might see
him at his repast, and that would be
a horrible thing. He is bashful and
backward and wishes he could sink
into the earth and so avoid the respon
sibility of being seen, felt or heard by
other and older persons.
This is an age which comes to all
males of the human species.
This boy’s uncle knew of a cure for
that sort of thing, and he recom
mended the youngster for a position
in a railroad office and arranged for
an interview between his junior kins
man and the employing official in the
headquarters. The noy heard with
horror that he was to go all alone into
the presence of this man and fear in
gulfed him and claimed him as its
own. He was earnestly anxious for
employment, but the infamy of pie
senting himself before a strange busi
ness man and talking to him ms al
most too much. He pleaded sadly tl at
he did not know what to say.
“Don’t know what to say?” cried
the impatient relative, who, being a
drummer, knows nothing Os the timid
ity of growing boys and who is never
at loss for language. “Don’t know
what to say, blank it! Why, say, you
idiot, I’m Henry Johnson, dash it all
you great ninny—l’m Henry Johnson
who was recommended by Mr. Wilson,
dog gone it. Say something simple like
that and that’s all you’ll have to say,
blame it all. He’ll do the rest of the
talking.’’
And so with courage screwed tense
the timid boy approached the place of
slaughter, and detperately spoke thus :
“You idiot! I’m Henry Johnson,
dash it all, you great ninny. I’m
Henry Johnson, who was recommended
hy Mr. Wilson, dog gone it.”
When the boy reported progress
that evening he insisted that he had
obeyed instructions to the letter, but
that somehow the man at the desk
had not been impressed to the extent
that one might hope.
There was an unexpressed fearprev
alent among the American people
when the last Peary arctic explorer
set out that something might go wrong,
some little break or slip might occur
and the time-honored home-coming
report might in some way be interfered
with. It is so easy for evil to happen
to an expedition away off irf a cold
country where there are no plumbers.
The dread of the unforeseen operating
to mar the regularity of arctic explora
tion report was therefore reasonable.
But happily this fear has turned
out to be groundless. The expedition
is back and the same report, which
was turned in last year and the year
before that, and the year before that,
clear back to the time when Peary be
gan nosing around in the chill of the
north, is advertised.
The scientists gained great results.
The expedition did not bring back
the meteorite for which it had been
sent out, but that is a minor proposi
tion. No arctic expedition ever ac
complishes that for which it was insti
tuted—especially a Peary arctic expe
dition—but always the scientists ac
complish great results. The hardy ex
plorers never attain the pole, but that
is so inconsiderable an omission that it
is not worth bothering about so long
as the scientists obtain great results.
The information brought back, re
solved into its mercantile aspect, is
usually something to the effect that
now at fast is it definitely Known

A COLORED SAM JONES.
Rev. Peter Vinegar Is ,ui Original and
Effective Pulpic Orator.
Peter Vinegar is the odd name of one
of the most remarlcable colored evangel-

Za' A
REV. PETER VINEGAR.
after that began preaching. As a preach
er he made an immediate success, and
his ability to make converts soon at
tracted wide attention. The little Bap
tist church where he held forth was
crowded at every service, and Peter
came to be in great demand for revival
meetings. The Rev. Mr. Vinegar has a
style of pulpit oratory that is all his own,
and, while it somewhat resembles that
of Sam Jones, it is entirely original and
remarkably effective. In delivering his
sermons Brother Vinegar often grows
hysterical and shouts at the top of his
voice, but he always carries his congre
gation with him and works them up to
the highest pitch of excitement. He
also gives his discourses unique titles.
One of these is “Watch Dat Snake!”
which is an eloquent philippic against
backbiting.
** W atch dat snake! ”he says. “Watch
dat tongue! De tongue is de snake dat
bites yer neighbor. De tongue is de
most onruliest member ob de body.
Christ done said so hisself. Don’t let
yer tongue talk too much. Don’t say
nothin mean about yer neighbor, yer
neighbor’s wife or yer neighbor’s daugh
ter. More poor girls have been sent to
hell fire by de mean talk ob onruly
tongues dan by any thing else. I tell yer,
yer inns’ watch out fer dat snake an
don’ let him beguile yer, laike he did
old Eve in de garden ob Eden. ”
During the 34 years in which Peter
Vinegar has been preaching he has con
verted 3,336 souls and baptized 3,112
converts. Os these, fully two-thirds have
been women, as his style of preaching
seems to appeal more forcibly to them
than to men.
AN EXPERT HORSEWOMAN.
Miss Cherry Exhibits Her Own Horses at
County Fairs.
One of the most accomplished horse
women in the Buckeye State is Miss
Daisy Cherry of Newark. She is the
owner of a string of horses which she
is at present exhibiting at county fairs
throughout the state, among her ani
mals being a pair of beautifully matched
MISS DAISY, CHERRY.
Kentucky thoroughbreds which have
been awarded first prize in every in
stance. Miss Cherry does not trust en
tirely to the judgment of her grooms to
take good care of her horses, but she
personally superintends the work aud
even directs her men as to the exact
amount of feed to be given to her horses
to keep them in proper condition. ,
Miss Cherry can handle the reins or
sit in the saddle with the expertness of
a professional. Two years ago she sent
a horse dealer to Kentucky for a saddle
horse, and when she got word that the
purchase had been made she went to
Lexington and rode the animal all the
way home to Newark rather than trust
so valuable a piece of horseflesh in the
cars. She had a few exciting adventures
on her trip, but made it in safety and
says she enjoyed the experience hugely.
Miss Cherry is a refined and attract
ive young woman aud does not appear
a tall like a ' ‘horsy” girl. She lives
with her parents, who have a beautiful
home at Newark. Besides horses she is
interested in china painting and has se
cured several valuable prizes for exhibi
tions of her work at fairs in the eastern
states.
Another of the few well known horse
women of the country is Mrs. Harriette
Winch of Middlebury, Vt. Mrs. Winch’s
specialty is trotting horses. She is the
owner of Major Wonder, and she has
driven him to beat the track record at
Sandy Hill. She is probably the cham
pion reinswomau of America.
Kite Pulls a Carriage.
The largest kite ever made in Eng
land was one owned by Mr. George
Pocock of Bristol (grandfather of W. G.
Grace) for the purpose of drawing a
carriage along the roads. It was 12 by
15 feet and proved the feasibility of
such a mode of conveyance.
