“What do you want,' hoy?’'
asked one of the elders.

“Brought pa’s prayers?
What do you mean?’’
“Yep; brought his prayers,

—WHICH?
From Alpharetta Free I’ress.
Being in attendance upon a
meeting of that class of Bap
tists commonly known as Hard
shells, a.Sunday or two ago, re
calls to mind an amusing story
at the expense of the pastor o
a rural church, who firmly he
lisves in predestination.
It seems that this venerable
exponent of the Holy Writ
passed through “the time* that
tried men’s souls,'’and mi tie
occasion of a battle he was un
tie ad to seek safety from tlie en
emy’s bullets bv < nrcoming
himself behind an old stump on
the battle ground.
After the struggle had ended,
be was taken to task in n jocose
mantier by a 1 of his fellow
soldiers. T 1 y wanted to know
how it was that he believed one
way and allowed his actions to
be at vaiiance with his convic
tions, so one of them said:
“How is it, Brother Blank,
that you believe ‘what is to tie
will be,’ and yet got behind a
stump for protection? Don’t
you know that if your time had
come the stump wouldn’t have
saved you? ’ -
“Yes, I know that, brother,’’
the good man replied, “but the
Lord put that, stump there for
me to get behind. ”

“What is the effect of ozon

asked t he youth, with a t hough!

“It converts all animal mat

in ten minutes after the body

“I will examine tin* tank ! ’
“ You!’

The next instant the watch

In a lew seconds he was bound

Before starting ou his peril

the pilch darkness, it required
lint a lew moments for him to

“I have,’ replied our hero,
modestly, and taking a small

tooth.
“This is a porcelian tooth

THK THIAI..
Tin* Gimhllol murder trial was
in progress.
The prosecution was about to|
[close its side of the ease.
There had been no direct tes
timony to show thi*t Anthony
Goodlot had murdered his w ife.
The attorneys for the defense
were jubilant .
Ralph Dumont smiled sneer
ing! v at James 11. Webster.
* Edward Parks!’
At t he call of this Damn there
was a sensation, for the fame
of the newsboy detective bad
spread far and wide.
Our hrtro modestly stepjied
to the witness chair and faced
the hushed assemblage.
After the usual preliminaries
James H. Webster handed him
n small box containing the por
! celain tooth.
“Do you recognize the article
in that box ?‘ was asked.
“I -do,’ replied our hero,
j “What is it ?’
“It is a false tooth made of
porcelain.’
1 “Stats whether or not you
ever saw litis tooth licfo* s. ’
“I found this tooth in the
yas tank in t lie Good lot lacton
on Ihe night of Sept. 211. ’
Our hero briefly’ related the
; circumstance* under which he
had found the tooth.
Do you know what person,
if any, had ever used that
tooth ?’ asked tha lawyer.
“1 know that the person who
used that tooth anil the person
who chewed the gum contained
in (Ins box are one and the
same.’ With these winds mi
hero drew « paper box from bis
pocket.
“What dors the box contain?
asked James 11. Webster,
“It contains 128 pieces o!
chewed gum, each showing the
imprint of human teeth,’
“You may state where yon
found that gum.’
“At tin* residence of Anthony
Goodlot, stuck along the under
edges of chairs, tables, shelves,
piano, piano stool, mantles,
desks, what-nots, folding beds,
railings, banisters, sos: s and
bookcases. I found twenty
two portions of chewed gum
stuck on the columns of the
front veranda, and I found
fourteen on various chandeliers
and brackets. 1 found three
on one closet door and two on
the caster in the pantry.’
“Have you attempted to fit
the porcelain tooth, which you
found in tin* gas tank, into any
of the imprints or indentations
on or in these 428 pieces of
chewed gum ?’
“I have.’
“Tell the court what, if any
thing, yon have learned.’
“The porcelain tooth fits in
to the deepest mark on every
one of Ihe 428 pieces.’
Ralph Dumont arose to cross
examine the witness.
He trembled violently and
his face was purple wi*h rage.
When he attempt’- I lo -peak
lie gave vent to incoher n!
sounds and fell to the lioor in
an appolectic fit!
CHARTER VII.
JUSTICE.
As soon as our hero had fin
ished his testimony the prose
cution Culled Other witnesses
to prove that Mrs. Goodlot had
a false tooth and that she was
tin* only one around the house
w bo chewed gum.
Little remains to lie t<>l<l.
Our hero was again recog
nized as the greatest ihteithe
of the age.
The defense could not shatter
his testimony in regard to the
tooth.
Without leaving liner seats,
the jurors brought in a verdict
of “justifiable homicide.”

How A TIHEI) WOMAN WAS REST
ED.
It was only nine o’clock in
the morning, yet she was tired
She had been up since six, and
her work had been hard Many
things weighed her down, body
mil soul. Like Martha, she
w*ns cumbered with much serv- 1
ing. Like Martha, also, she j
felt that she was left to serve;
alone, while her much favored
friends were allowed to indulge
their tastes and iyclinations,
spending their summer days jn
various delightful resorts. Bat
she, with tin* game tastot, the
same inclinations and aspira
tions, w.is condemned to unend
ing drudgery, added to the hard
work o f making five shillings do
the work of ten.
Yon see she was very weary,
and the overworked body so
wrought upon the usually will
ing spirit that for the time she
forgot the helping Hand which
through ull the years had tend
erly led her even when the
paths were thorny and the way
rough, and she did not then re*
tnemomber the various "brooks
by the way” from which she
had been permitted to drink
and lie refreshed.
During a pause in her work
she sat, down for a moment to
rest, taking up the Bible, which
was open at tin* next Sabbath’s
lesson, “Jesus at the Feast.’’
[While studying the proceediug
'one, "Jesus at Bethany,” her
'sympathy had gone out toward
Martha, heated, hurried, tired
‘Martha. And here again she
read, “auii Martha served.’
Then came the mention of
, Mjirv, of lu*r graceful, fragrant,
uirvice, of the Master’s recogni*
1 don. and of the wonderful
'prophecy which must have so
* leliglited her soul. Anil as she
rend she seemed to see the sis
ters when the feast was over.
Maty, sweet, fair, and spot less,
the odor of t io ointment ding
ing to her garments, and the
blessed words of Jesus still ring
ing in le*r ears. Martha, with
tired and anxious face, rutiled
hair, hands lull of soiled nap
kins and empty dishes, unit |s*r
Imps not in a mood to sympu
tin/** fully w ith her sister as she
repeated for her beniflt wlmt
Christ Imd said,
These t hough Is passed through
the mind of the tired worker.
■Then her eyes fell upon a text
'which, though she must have
read it a hundred times Itofore.
seemed to strike her as entirely
new.
“Now, Jesus lovpd Martha, and
her Histor, * and Lazarus”—
toyed them ull, hut .Martini’s
name was mentioned, the only
woman particularly honored in
this way, yet Martha served,
and though Jesus reproved her)
when she lost patience and was
discouraged, and complained of '
Mary's neglect, yet she was an
swered by a reproof so gentle
that she was drawn nearer to
the loving heart of Him who
came not to be ministered unto
but to minister.
Then the mind strayed oft to
a thought of the almost possible '
rebellion felt that very day, lie
cause instead of enjoying the
privilege of attending the mis
sionary meeting in a neighbor
ing town, she must stay ut

been so much more delightful
to sit at the feast, as did Mary
of old, and listen to the story
of the progress of the Master's
kingdom. Put glau, restful

not shut out from Christ's love.
She could pray for the exten

might not listen to the story,
and catch the inspiration of
actual contact witli those who
bore tlie tidings.—Selected.

Oil Sept. sth 1897 themes-
KM.ger of death came and spoke
peace to our loved one, Mrs.
\V. P. Wynn. She was a mem
hereof ..the Methodist church,
and a faithful follower of our
blessed Master. She realized
before the messenger came that,
she must go, andjwas submiss
ive to the call. What a conso
lation to know our dear one
was ready! Though her suffer
ing in this world is at an end,
though her soul is now at rest,
though we know she sings sweet
songs around the great white
throne, yet we are sad, - we miss
her, we long for her presence,
for her words of consolation,
and for the sweet face that wo
once loved so much look upon.
Sometimes in hours of grief wo
wonder why God takes our
loved ones from us.
Not now, but in the coming years,
It may be in the better land—
We'll read tlie meaning of onr
tears
And there, sometime, we'll undtr
• stand.
We'll know why clouds instead of
suit
Were over many a cherished plan
Why life lias ceased when scarce
begun.
Tie there, sometime, we'll under
stand.
. God knows the best. He holds the
key.
He guides its all with mighty hand.
Sometimes with tearless eyes we
see.
Yes there, up there, we’ll under
stand.
Yes, in the great eternity
we’ll realize that God has done
all things well. While we walk
upon earth and meet the many
enemies of life onr dear one
walks upon the streets of the
city of God, w here there is no
more trouble, no more sorrow,
no more sickness and sad fare
wells and no more death.
The sweet flower on earth has
blossomed and faded: its beauty
,is forever hidden from mortal
sight, Gut iu heaven it blooms
[again in an immortal garden
and is watered from living
! fountains. Father, mother and
| brothers, though our hearts are
, sml and we long to sec our loved
'one, it is wojl fur us to remem
ber that the messenger who
came to our home for this loved
j one will come soon for us. I.et
ius be ready and meet her iu
j that fair haven where Jesus is
tlie lily of the valley, the
i shepherd of the (lock nud the
king of eternal ages.
When we cave this world of
changes,
W lien We b'av * this world of care.
We shall find our darling loved
one
In Jehovah's mansion fair.

Never kill a mosquito 1 The
insect is a safeguard against
malaria. Let your face, arms
uud neck look as if you lived in
New Jersey, and never fret.
Such is the advice of a knowing
gentleman, who says: Remem
ber that the presence of a wos
quito is an infallible sign that
malaria is in the air, and that
you are exposed to it, and when
you hear that well known hut
solemn note of warning do mt
treat him as a foe, but as a
friend. Translated into Eng
lish it says: ‘Leave this local
ity or I will vaccinate you,’ and
the little soldier will do just as
he says, though he die in the
attempt, and then others stand
ready to leap into the breach."
