A SERMON SAVED HIS HONOR Legislator Who Was About to Yield to Bribers Changed His Mind After Hearing Dr. Gladden, Two men Were taking their lunch gt & popular restaurant in town and & woman was sitting at a table nearby, rnd she tells us this: The men were talking about the legislative bribery cases, when one of them said: “I know all about it; I was a mem- ber of the legislature once, and I know the drawing power of an offer of $500 or $1,000 for a vote. I came mighty near tumbling once, when there was a tender of $1,500 for my vote on a certaln proposition. It was awrtully fascinating. I needed the money. Why not take 1t? Nobody would .ever know it. “I had a terific struggle over that offer. I concluded to take it and then changed my mind and changed back again, and I did that over and over again, all the time while thus tempted. It was on a Sunday when the fever ‘was at its height and, passing the Con. gregational church, I noticed that Dr. (Gladden was to preach; so I went in fthere to hear him, but principally to get away from myseif. It happened that the doctor preached that night on ‘The Honest Man.’ Well, that set- tled it; that bribe lost its grip on me, and every low, mean motive as well, The influence of that sermon must have made me appear bribe-proot, for never since then has anybody ever approached me, either directly or ine directly, with a bribe.”—New York Evening Post.

DROVE TO THEFT Re of Baron Von Bechinio Reveals Penury In the Public Serv- ice of Austria. A Vienna jury has just acquitted Baron Joseph von Bechinic in spite of his confession of embezzlement. The trial gave a sad insight into the pen- ury existing in the lower raunks-of the civil service. The baron, who belongs to an old but decayed family, entered the postal service and marrled when receiving only 2s. 6d. a day. His pay ultimately rose to £3 a week, but the greater part of it was pledged in paying off the debts he had been forced to incur earlier in order to keep his wife and family. He confessed in court how one day when he had nothing to give his four Department " first class condition on 50 foot Iot, Inquire 417 Irvine avenue.

Giles, All loyal Scotsmen will learn with regret that the wellknown clock om St. Giles’ tower in Edinburgh, which must have told the time to Scott and. Burns, is doomed to disappear. Ap. parently a workman fell through the case and damaged the mechanism so badly that the civic authorities do nog consider the wornout works worth re, pair. So the old clock will be ban- ished by the city museum and re- placed by an invisible timepiece, with. ont hands or face, which will merely strike the hours and leave the aes: thetic effect of the tower unspoiled. The anclent clock of St. Giles has'seen two centurles of service, but is a mere giddy youth compared with some of the medieval horologes on English cathedrals.
