What Did the Apostle Paul
Say?
Chii linn fit Work.]
T'lio oilier evening Rev Mr Phi.
lacater sat down at the table with a
very thoughtful air, and attended to
tho wants ol his brood in a very ab
stracted manner. Presently he
looked up at his wife, and said:
The Apostle Paul—
Got an awlul lump on tho head
‘sateruoon, broke in the pastor's el.
dost son, playing baseball, But
flow out of the striker's hands when
I Was umpire and cracked mo right
above the ear and dropped me.
Hurt? Golly! And tho lad shook
his head in a dismal but expressive
pautumiue, as ho tenderly rubbed a
luhip that looked like n billiard ball
with hair on if.
The pastor gravely paused for tho
interruption, and resumed:
The Apostle Paul—
Saw Mrs Dash down at Hroen
bam's this afternoon, said his eldest
daughter addressing her mother.
She had on the same old eyorlasl.
ing black silk, made over with a vest
tf green silk, rat tail basque pat
pattern, overskirt made with diago
nal folds in front, edged with deep
fringe, dark felt hat with black vel
vet facing and pule blue fl ,wGrs.
She's going to Chicago,
The good minister waited pa
tiently’, and then in tones n shade
louder t,.an before, bo resumed:
Tho Apostle Paul—
Went in swintmin last night with
Henry and I)un, and stepped on a
clam shell, exclaimed his younger
son; and cut my foot so I can't
wear my sh e; and please, can t I
stay at home to-morrow?
Then the pastor informed Ins son
that he c ,uld stay away from the li
ver, and again essayed his subject of
convertion. He said :
“The Apostle Paul says”—
“MV teacher is an awful storyteller,
shouted the second son ; “he says the
world is as round as an orange, and
turns round all the time faster than a
circus man can ride. I guess he hasn’t
got much sense.”
'l'he mother lilted a warning finger
toward the boy, and said, “Sh 1” and
the father resumed:
“The Apostle Paul says”—
“Don’t bite off twice as much as
you can chew,” broke out the eldest
son, reproving the a-sault of his little
sister cn a piece of cake.
The pastor’s face showed just a
trifle of annoya-.ee, as he said in a
fnm and decided tone :
“The Apostle Paul says”—
“There’s a fly in the buttei,” cried
the youngest hopeful of the family,
and a general laugh followed.
When silence had been restored the
eldest daughter, with an air cf curios
ty, said ;
“Well, pa, I really would like to
know vvliat the Apostle said.”
“Pass the mustard, said the pas
tor, sternly.
And now the question is: What
did the Apostle Paul really say Rev.
Mr I’hilacter could have so curiously
constructed? Or is it the new version.
Courting Under Difficulties
110 came up a little lnte. stopped
iu without ringing, and striding,
sollly into the parlor, dropped iuto
an easy chair with the easy grace
ot a young man accustomed to tho
programme.
Isy Jove, ho said to the dim fig
ure sitting in the obscurity of the so
fa, by Jove, I thought 1 was never
going to see you alone again. Your
mother never goes away from the
house nowadays, does she Minnie?
Well, not amazingly frequently,
cheerfully replied tho old ludv from
the sofa. Minnie is away so much
of time now I have to stay at home.
In the old hickory tree dt the end
of tho house the hooting
owl complained to the moon ranch
iu its usual style, and tho plaintive
cry of the whippoorwill filled the
uiglit with noetry, but he don’t
hear any of it all the same.
And, l*v George, he said to a
friend fifteen minutes later, it I
didn't leave my hat on the piano,
and my cane in the hall, I'm a
goat. Think of them? Forgot
them. Strike me blind if I kr.ew I
had any clothes on at all. What I
wanted was fresh ab; and I wanted
abotu 30acresof it, and that mighty
quick, too.
Pike County News : —Never be

mad-dogs as we have this week.
Nearly every person coming to town
from certain parts of Upson and Mon
roe counties, in the neighbe/rioods of
Yatesvilleand Culloden bring something
of the depredations of mad-dogs in the
neighborhood. We learn that hydro
phobia has existed in these neighbor
hoods for months probably, and there
is more cause for alarm than is .appa

Testing a Fire Escape with
a Telephone Girl.
Milwaukee Sun.]
' A gentleman doing business on
j Broadway, and who notices every little
thing, says he was never so frightenen
in his life as he was the oilier night,
when they were trying a patent fire es
cape on the building occupied by the
telephone exchange. During the af
ternoon several men went down the
escape safely, but the agent for the
patent concern couldn’t induce any
of the telephone girls to Iry it. Fin
ally, after it began to be a little dark,
one of the gills, with more nerve than
the rest consented to make her exit
by the patent contrivance. She was
seated in the chair, made of straps,
and took hold of the rope and swung
out of of the window. People looked
on, or up, with wonder. They had
never seen anything like it, and as
the trail girl was poised in the air, her
teeth set, as well as the rest of her,
her delicate fingers clutched the rope,
and her eyes sticking out so you could
hang clothes on them, it Was a scene
to make the stoutest heart quail, on
toast. The girl went down about six
feet and then the rope got caught, and
she hung there like Absalom, only with
this difference, that Ab hung by his
hair. Strong men turned pale, and
looked to see the girl faint and into
it. But she was not that kind of a
girl. She wished she had as many
dollars as she wouldn’t faint. But she
held the fort. She remained in statu
quo, if that is what she remained in.
People below were occupied with dif
ferent thoughts. Some were praying
that she might hold out faithful to the
end, and others were laughing at her.
One fellow shouted, ‘'Mellow, cen
tral ! Connect me with 940, two rings,”
and the girl looked down at him as
though she would like to cat him.
The situation was becoming serious.
Evertlune was tried to make the rope
work, and finally a lrnd was reached
out of the window, the steadfast girl
was grasped by some portion of her
clothin that would not r : p, and just as
the crowd were about to taint away at
the sight, she was pulled in the window
and unharnessed from the fire escape.
As her feet touched the floor she
shook her dress with t ne hand, brush
her hair with the other and turning to
the agent of the fire escape she said :
“Don't you ever speak to me again.”
Volumes could not say more.
The Difference.
Wall Street News.
In 0111 country, said the English
man, as lie leunod back in bin chair,
before we marry wo arrange to set
lie a certain sum on tho wife.
Yes, I know, replied the Arneri
cn, but with us it is different. It
isaflcr Wo aro married that we settle
everything on tho wife, and arrange
to beat our creditors.
Haw! I see. And how do the
credit-rs lake it?
They never find anything to
take.
Not Boarders. —And so you are
working right across the street from
me? ([Hiring the first, as they met on
Forty-seventh street on the other af
ternoon.
“Yes.”
“And it’s a boarding house?”
“Oh, no; we arc a strictly private
family.”
“Why, I have Been several young
men call so often that I took them for
boarders.”
“Oh, no ; they arc nothing bat bill
collectors ! Three come one day arid
four on the next, and I suppose they
are trying to wear out my lady’s pa
tience.”
“Doesn’t it annoy her?”
"Not a bit. Do you notice that
they are all well dressed, good-looking
men, and we really flatter ourselves
that the neighbors take them for ar
tists and diamond brokers who want
our custom.
Sadie J. Wilson, Savannah, says :
“I used Brown’s Iron Bitted for dys
pepsia and ant delighted with the
prompt relief it afforded me.
Saved by Clutching a House's
Tail. —Albert DoUghertl, one of
the driters between Green iliver
and Big Sandy, who was caught in
the storm on Wednesday evening
and lay out on ihe snow and i< o
forty-eight hours, was brought in
to-night by privato conveyance.
Donahe-ty was unable to mount the
horse after abandoning tbe stage
and the way he succeeded in travel
ing was as follows: lie took hold
of the sagacious animal's tail and
let it drag Lint. Whenever his
hands became bo benumbed that he
could not retain his grasp on the
horse's tail, the animal would stop
and come rip to him and patiently
wait until Doug ierty would again
entwine his hands in the tail of the
horse, when the animal would re
sume the journey—Salt LakeTrib
