Years ago one of the promi

on the oppose side, and the
] value of the man’s testimony
j depended he could not upon read. his It claim that be
was
| Geved that he could read a little,
j and Tunnicliff tried to trap him.
After several adroit efforts
which old Dave neatly side
steped, the lawyer changed the
subject and wandered away
from the leading puestion. Sud
denly he asked:
“Have you a bible at your
home, Mr. Brown?”
1 Yes sir, a family Bible. Had
it for years.”
“I’m glad to hear that. Every
good man should have a family
Bible in his home. You use
your Bible, I hope?”
Yes, sir: 1 use it regular.”
»I That’s right. A good man
should use his Bible often. A
bout how often do you use your
Bible?”
‘Every Sunday morning, sir,”
said the old man, with apparent
interest.
U Every Sunday morning.
That is commendable. There
is no more appropriate time
for using the Bible than on the
Sabbath morning. And what
do you use vour Bible for on
Sabbath morning?”
“To strop my razor, sir.”
“Hello, mamma; Leon and I
are married,’’telephoned a young
lady from Millerton, N, Y., to
her mother in Winsted, Conn.,
a day or two ago. The girl and
“Leon” had run away the day
before. Doubtless as she held
the receiver to her ear she ex
pected to receive the parental
blessing and be invited to come
home at once and sit down to a
sumptious bridal feast. But
nothing of the sort came over
the wire.“Well,” said“mamma,”
“if you are, you’d both better
keep away from here; your fath
er has got his gun loaded.”
