LOST HIS JAG IN CHURCH
The Cork Came Out of The Bottle
and a Pint of Liquor Waisted.
Florence, N. J , Sept 27. -An un.
Looked-'or accident that created quite
a causation for a time occurred ol
STedneslay evening, at.the Baptist
church A prayer meeting was beinp
je'd.and among the congregation wn g
a young man who hub a pint of whis
-key in his inside pocket, having
purchased it a few minutes before t*'
take gq a fishing trip early the so lo\
• ing morning.
He intended leaving the bottle at
home before going to prayer meeting,
but forgot ail about it until the cork
came out of h’s pocket while the
i»i»thrm> were singing Uj hymn,
“ O tha’il be joyful. ”
His first impulse wi g to try to get
Cbe cork back into the bottle, but he
quickly realized by the volume ot
liquor that was spreading over him
that there was no use trying to save
sm , tn he resolved to siuud firsx l"' 1
put no as bold a front as possible,
Before the singing of the next
’ rarse an elderly member of the con
gregation, who had been through the
dfire himself, suddenly straightened
up and elevated his nose like a
■ trained pointer who scents game
-ahead. Then, suddenly realizing
/-•wl’ere lie was the elderly gentleman
xiat down and tried to get a glimpse
. bi the bub’s eye, for by this time th e
J‘:iavot of the liquor was taking a skate
» all over the church.
One ot the fully .matured sisters of
the .flock got her nose full of the j ig
ladon air and gave a snort that
brougt the proceedings to tn abrupt
termination. Just then a juvenile
spotter saw a tiny stream ’of rum
trickling from the guilty young man’s
trousers leg and pointed with his
fore- Huger as the rivulet of rye
meandered down the aisle.
By this time the congregation fully
appreciated the situation, and the
holder of the bottle proceeded t<>
get out in the open air as «oou as
poss !-’e. Everyone was shocked at
the discovery,and after some discus,
eion :t was decided to suggest that
.the s-xton had bettr search all
ors pieous looking young men here*
atieid.

Once said:
"The time will come when some inventive
genius will enable us to ' drop a nickel in the
slot,' and take out a complete education."
Little did the great novel!s't dream that his
jest was so soon to cry*tali ze into the practical
plan today before the readers of this paper.
There Is not an intelligent man in the
world but appreciates the value of an
education, and has occasion many times to
regret the fact that he has either failed to
take advantage of early opportunities, or
perhaps has been deprived altogether of the
advantages of hiQjier educational instihrtions
in his earlier life.
It is Too Late
For them to take up a regular course of
study, there being no time to devote to It
amid the varied cares of active life.
But the next best thing to an educational
course is the possession of the reAlta of the
ripe scholarship of others, these
results are epitomised the one who has
at his command has actually the cream of a
college education.
In a word, the ENCYCLOPEDIA
(IRITANNICA is a whole college education
in itself. The most brilliant graduates do
not know more than is containeS within its
