William Ciark recited “Curfew Shall Not Ring To-night,” and had to pay $1 for being guilty of conduct calculated to create a breach of the peace. Some of the men provided substitutes and escaped punishment. Five of the congregation were so un- accustomed to public speaking that ; when they were called upon they seats and blush.

NOT PIETY, BUT PORK. {Oinners, Not Doubts, Are What Bost | Men Are Wrestling With, | Say These Women. The following bit of non-conformist humor is taken from “The Farring- | dons,” an English romance. The speakers are Mrs. Bateson and Mrs. Hankey, worthy wives, but not al- | together above fecling a certain pleas- ure in showing up the ways of hus- bands. “They’ve no sense, men haven't,” said Mrs. Hankey; “that’s what’s the mat- ter with them.” “You never spoke a truer word, Mrs, Hankey,” replied Mrs. Bateson. ‘The very. best of them don’t properly know their stomachs, and they fancy they are a-wrestling with their doubts when really it is their dinners that are a- wrestling with them. “Now, take Bateson himself,” con- tinued Mrs. Bateson. “A kinder hus- band or better Methodist never drew breath; yet, so sure as he touches a bit of pork, he begins to worry himself about the doctrine of election till there’s no living with him. And then gage in prayer for hours at a time till says to him: “ ‘Bateson,’ said I, ‘I'd be ashamed to go troubling the Lord with a prayer, when a pinch o’ carbonate o’ soda would set thincs straight again.’” TOO INFORMAL BY HALY. prise on Attending His First Cabinet Dinner. Just before the first cabinet dinner was given in Washington last season, relates a Washington exchange, Sec- retary of State Hay had a private talk with his colleagues regarding the in- vitation precedence question. It was (GEO. BOOTH, Manufacturer of Fine Cigars ’ 97 Have achieved an excellent Af BOOTH S CIGARS reputation all over Northern Minnesota.

SSSenSeseS ee ee unanimously agreed that the annoying subject be sent to the rear and that hostesses be simply asked to exercise such care as would prevent the same people coming together too much dur- ing the season. No one expressed him- self as more rejoiced over the change : than the secretary of the navy. He talked about it constantly between the agreement and the dinner. When he arrived at the men's dressing-room the evening of the dinner the man servant handed him the usual small envelope with the name of the lady whom he was to take in todinner. Mr. Long read it alond to the other mem- bers of the cabinet in the room. He looked puzzled and distressed. The other members showed that they also had cards, Mr, Long sat heavily down in a chair and looked around them as one who had lost his last friend. “I thought,” he said, mournfully, “that Hay told us this was going to be an informal affair.” “What did you expect?” asked a cab- inet minister. “Why, I thought every fellow would come in and just go to the lady: he liked best, take her out to dinner and sit down in the chair nearest him.

Written for This Paper. It was a pretty affair, that bachelor’s cal- posit inthe worn sock of a handsome and shy young man. The children had been in- creasing so rapidly that it had been impos- sible"for the dear old man to get around in his sleigh to make his annual call on the | elders, so he had to use the mail. But asthe | young man opened the various packages ‘which the mai] man Santa Claus had left | for him, he forgot for a time the girl who | had occupied so much of his thoughts for a year and allowed his mind to wander back to the days of his childhood before the old | saint had gotten onto the new methods of the post office department, but had de posited the toys and sweetmeats intended }for him in the long stocking, usually one borrowed from mother, hung beside the old home fireplace. Those were happy days, jand then he thought of what other days might be if he could but muster the courage | to speak to Eva, provided, of course, that she | would say “yes” to his pleadings, of which he felt not et all certain. “The new way is better for me after all,” ihe said, half aloud, “for 1 em afraid the | oodies would run out of the bole ia that toe,” and he glanced at the protruding mem- ber which had worked its way through the | silk sock, and which bad not yet been cov- ered by either slipper or shoe. The young man had been in a quandary for most of the year that was closing. Like | many another of his kind he had ioved, be feared unwisely but too well. True the girl jof his choice had never intima ed that his attentions were anything bu e, indeed she had even encoura: so far as she could with prop: man had not the ta | | Bue t e things, and Christmas present Eva could ma! she only would. was while his thoughts were engaged is way that the maid br< taining the prett; it he wondered who could have an elaborate affair, hand painted, jwith the little monthly cal ar3, two ou each page, and around them pretty bunches of bachelor buttons and scenes from a bache- | lor’s life, and at the bottom of each page an appropriate little verse. The little verse on the first page attvacted his attention and he stopped to read it be- fore turning the next. It was: “The year is young, Why should a ba | ad the op- | portunity of getting as sweet a little wor asEva? Maids may be many, but maid Bya are not. Who could have sent this cal- emar, anyway?” . Hevturned the page to the next verse, and cond: “The bells a peal are ringing, ‘hark! Go straight. and what they tel] you mark, | If they say ‘yes’ wed ond be blest, lf ‘no’—do as you think best.” “The bells say ‘yes’ to me, but to wed ont be blest is another matter. How [should wed if I could but and I would certainly be blest Te tuned another page, and read the It was: . h achafling dish we can cook our food, laundry takes care of our washing, h, for a self sewing needle and thread, nd the big hole in our stocking.” at helpless creatures we men ere, any- Wonen are en absolute necessity to at bole in my sock would not be there if 1 a benedict instead ofa bachelor. Eva would nevet permit such things, I am sure. A man mus} save a large amount in a year by having a3 economical wife such as I am Eva would be. I wonder who could ave sent mé this thing, anyway?” Another page was turned and here there were but twolines of verse. They were: “See these worn clothes hanging ov the line, Where’s the girl totake a stitch and save the other nine.” “It would fake more than one siitch to save my clothes from complete ruination. The laundry is playing havoc with them. | That is but another one of the many ways in which ) man with a wife would save money, as|well as the possibility of always look I tell you a wife is an ab- to a man these“days.

I wonder if int courage will never reach that point where | can ask her to be mine? Another page, the next to the last, wae turned over, and on it he found: “w “He either fears his fate too much, Or his deserts are small, That dares not put it to the touch, To gain\or lose it all.” “That’s m exactly. It must have been written cess for my benefit. ‘He either fears his fate much,’ that’s me. [ am so afraid she might say ‘no’ that I dare not try to win at all. &nd then I guess my deserts are small besides when I compare them with Eva’s worth. Whoever sent me tbis did me a kindness, for I 4m going to muster up the necessary courage\to stake all and try to win, But when? hat isa question that is hard to answer. I baye been saying the same thing for almost a year, and still I hesitate.” He turned to the st page on which he found a surprise. water colors of Eva am below it just two lines: “4 dream of the girl who might have been mine, Had I but spoken the work i in time.” “Did-Eva send me that? {don’t think she did, but if she did what did\she mean.

Vil speak it to-night, even if 1 fal.” And he did, and the Christhas bachelor is to be a benedict in a month.\ But he has not yet found the person who sknt him the calendar, His Eva was very indigvant when he intimated that tt might have tome from her, and it took more than one box of bon- bons to sooth her injured feelings. No, Eva did not send it, but she bas a very dear friend who is an artist, and in whom she confided her troubles and ideas for a pur- pose, and the idea worked successfully? She may tell her bashful lover all of these things after the wedding ceremony, but bardly be- fore, Z ‘ WRIGHT A. bi scyiny bn endar, whieh Santa Claus had wished to de- j “ porth coast of Africa—working sullenly and | There was a picture in 4 OUR English boys stood on the deck of F a fast-sailing craft in the Mediterranean: —which seemed to be making for the with downcast faces. One would rather have expected them to be looking bright, and keeping time to their work with a song, for the day was beauti+ fully fine, and the vessel bounded over the smooth sea at @ grand rete. But their gloomy looks were fully explained by the presence of a dozen or more dark, keen-eyed, fierce-looking men in eastern dress, one of whom—a big, powerful, savage fellow, with a hideous scar across hie bearded face—- shouted some order to the four lads every now and then, followed up with a volley of abuse in a strange, outlandish tongue. His manner was, enough to depress any- one, and then his Cursing and abuse were felt harder because they had never been used to such treatment before. The thoughts of the boys were as gloomy as their | faces, and under the cireumstances it could | hardly be different. The fact was that the Bristol bark Jacob, | to which these boys belonged, had been cap- | tured two days before by a Turkish corsair, | and the pirates had decided upon carrying | their prize into Algiers, and selling her crew as slaves to the Moore of Barbary—the usual fate of Christian captives in those days. But a sudden squall had separated the two vessels, and the Jacob was left alone upon the sea with a crew of 13 Turks, in- cluding the big officer above mentioned, and | the four English sailor lads, who had been put on board to assist in working the ship. Certainly the poor fellows might well look gloomy, with such e prospect before them; | but anyone who had looked closely at the face of Jack Long, the eldest of the four, 3 tall, active, curly-headed lad of 17, would have noticed a sudden gleam in his bold, brown eyes which showed that he had not lost all hope even now. “I say, Larry,” whispered he to Harry Cook, while helping him to haul in the slack of a rope, “are you game to fight if there’s a chance of our breaking loose?” “Rather!” answered Harry, emphatically —“anything rather than be made slaves of by these rascals.” “Well,” said Long, “I'll tell you how think we might do it.” And, bending forward, he’ whispered ‘i few words in his comrade’s ear. Harry Cook’s face brightened at once, and he was just about to speak, when a warning gesture from Long checked him. “We mustn’t be seen talking together, or these chaps will suspect something; bat, when you get a chance, just tell Jones and Tuckey yonder what we've planned, and see that they’re ready to beara band when they’re wanted.” Jack Long’s plan was simply to wait till the greater part of the pirate crew had gone below to rest (which they were now doing one by one, having been kept on deck all night by the storm), to imprison them by clapping on the hatches and battening them down, end then to attack those who were } left on deck. | It was a desperate venture, and certain | death if it failed; but death itself seemed | better than the hideous bondage that await- ed them in Algiers, and when Cook had succecded in communicating the scheme to Tuckey and Jones, the looks exchanged by the four young heroes showed that they “meant business.” Meanwhile the day was wearing toward afternoon. The breeze had died away, and everything was stiflingly hot and close. Al! of the Turks had gone below but five, four of whom were lying half asleep on-the deck, while the grim commander himself, Hussein Ali, had sat down to smoke his pipe in the shadow of the mainmast, still keeping a watchful eye, however, on the four prison- ers. All at once he rose to his feet and looked | anxiously upward at the sky, as if fearing that this sudden calm might betoken an- other storm. Ther he shouted: “Take in the mainsail.” “Now, boys,” whispered Long, as they hastened to obey, “we'll stow that sail clum- sily, and that old billy goat will get savage and come aloft to show us how to do it, and then, the minute you hear me sing out: ‘All clear below!’ grip him and chuck him over board.” Brave as they were, all four felt their hearts beat quicker as they mounted the rigging, knowing that a few minutes more must decide whether they were to live or die. To work they went, and, es Long had foreseen, Hussein Ali soon came rushing aft, shouting, angrily: “Ts that how yon stow e sail, you Chris- tian dogs? Your backs shall smart for this presently.” “All clear below!” eried Jack Long; as the Turk came within reach. Instantly Hussein Ali’s bulky figure was seen flying downward; but the powerful Mussulman was not to be so easily disposed of. Instead of glighting on the deck or in the water, he fell harmlessly into the hollow | of the sail, and, clutching a rope, swung him- self on to the port bulwark. In another mo- ment he would have been safe on the deck; but just then Long, who had'slid down like lightning by a weather backstay, enatched up a heavy spar and dealt the pirate a blow | op the head that sent him down into the sea | like a stone. | “Now, Jones,” said the young leader, | “clap the batches upon those fellows below, while we jump for’ard and tackle the rest.’ Jones obeyed, but the noise that he made | in doing so fairly aroused the four sleepers on the forecastle, who had been already dis- turbed by the sounds of the scuffle with Hussein Ali. Al] four sprang to their feet at once, and, drawing their long knives, rushed upon the English boys. But just at the right moment Cook let go the forebrace on the starboard side, and the heavy rope flew back among the Turks, knocking one overboard and completely stunning a second. Long’s club felled the third, while Tuckey grappled the fourth, and soon had him at his merey. Then, having tied the four disabled men to the mast, our heroes let loose the helm, which had been lashed amidship, and pro ceeded to get the craft’s head around. But their perils were not over yet. A heavy thumping suddenly warned them that the nine imprisoned pirates below were try- ing to force open the closed hatch, which trembled at every stroke. “Drag that coil of rope on to the hatch, boys!” shouted Long. “All together, now! Pulling with all their strength, they sue- | ceeded’ in getting the heavy coil upon the hatch, and, piling on top of it spars, blocks, {chains and everything else they could get | hold ef, imprisoned the ruffians beyond all power of escape. The ship was now their own again, and early next morning the four daring lads brought her safely into Gibraltar, which at that time belonged to Spain, where they turned the tables upon the pirates by selling them to the Spaniards for $50 apiece, which —as Jack atic ss itp vies a grin—was “a great aware than rogues Badal worth. .”—Gol ea | | { TURNING THE TABLES : COUNIY AND VILLAGE UFFICERS COUNTY.
