Although a chureh member, he does not feel like calling himself regular “pow persistent” sinco he ‘“eame west.”” Sunday, however, he thought he would spend an hour or so n listening to some orthodox words, Nothing very extraordinary occurred until he was moving with' the crowd towards the doors when the services were over. ‘The young man, for reasons best known to himself, thought he mld in- dulge 1 a litte “clove lunc He ced his hand in his vest pocket for the clove, elevated 1t to s mouth, when just as it met dental destruetion, there issued o flame from that mouth, paral- yzing not only himsclf, but the crowd around. ““T'hat feller's took in the sulphur t of the sermon sure,"” remarked an irrey- erent n “He's o fire eater from the show and wauts to bill 'mself 'mong the churches,” said a boy. "My, my!

It was the fpbachod boads of one of the former that caused the amateur ‘Vesuvian sparkle. Luckily it did not happen in chury then there wonld have been an earth- quake. The name of the young man is buried, of course, but it might be proper to add, “Troy, N.
