"jest on tay back seats during the’ tised in theatrical style gud his fying J promply atwouded bus performance, most of them belonging to the ushers, A certain young man bad a big bottle of ‘‘refreshment’’ which held about a pint. contents had been exhausted he stuck it in the overcoat pocket of one of *]the ushers, who presently came vp and accidentally found it. He had no other place to put it, so be just crammed it into the pocket of the nearest coat, with about a thitd of it visible. After the last act the peop e began going out, and quite a number ss they passed the overenat with the big bottle noticed it and smiled, a few lingering while wraps were adjusted to see whose cont it was. Presently the well known young man walked up, hastily donned the coat, and when he looked up saw sev- eral of bis friends smiling. He in- serted his hands into his pockets and in great surprise and confusion found the bottle. He looked at it, quietly laid it on the floor and walked out into the darkness. “If you'll go down and split some of that wood,’’ replied a prominent lady a to tramp who applied at her k door for a ‘‘hand-out’’ the other I'll give you a good break- madam, he tran- ed, ‘but I really Further- me 1 am weak and emaciated from exposure and lack of attention.’? “IL thought you had more time than [anything else,'’ she reproach- folly rejoiaed, ‘‘and you don’t have the appearance unable to work.” “Ab, madam,” yn me remons' quilly haven't the time to spare, he faltered, ‘‘but oftentimes manual labor superin duces apoplexy, and both my and mother died of apop Furthermore, the lady next door just had her wood split,and methinks I could there procure a few crumbs from her table without imperiling my life by having to work for them.

But before 1 touched the sill the operator yelled not to sit down, aad you can imagine how quickly I jumped up. I then saw that the sill fairly bristled with sharp steel tacks about an inch long. When I realized what a nar- row escape I had it flew ali over me, and I said to the two men inside, ‘If I had sat on those nails I would have shot you both down in this of- fice like dc IT would have done it ou have made a great putcing them there, and | y get in trouble over them yet} sumetime.* “T honestly believe I would have killed them both if I hadn't been warned in time. I couldn’t have helped it, and it makes me mad to this dan to think about it. As the train left I saw them taking the nails out of the sill. ‘IT have never fi been back there since, but abo' ars ago I was | down at Als Tenn,, with Jerre Porter. We went to a hotel there and registered. I noticed that the proprietor looked at me rather curi- | ously. and presently he walked over | ,, and inquired, ‘Say were you ever at Bell Station?’ I replied in'the affirm- ative, and he continued, ‘Aren't you the man that like to set on them nails in the depot window? I told him that I was, ‘Well, I'm the man you were ing to shoot, and I've always nted to Know your name,’ he re- plied. ‘Honestly, you like to have scared me to death, I thought you were going to shoot me anyhow, and I'll never forget how you looked. It | didn’t take us long to get those nails out, either,’ ’” And as the speaker concluded he unconsciously rubbed the bosom of his trousers as if he could still feel the points of those tacks he came near sitting on ten years ago. o- ‘The following, from the “In and About Kentucky’? column of the *Courier-Journal,’’ will no doubt be read by many people of Paducah with no little interest. Some, at least, have reason to remember Dr. R. C, Flower, the faith cure spe- ¢ who bus doubtless spent many @ ducat received from Padu- caiitas in return for bis wonderful | ives, (#) and still more perhaps | remember his brother, the late Rey.

Flower, the Hoston faith cure special- | ist, who failed a few days sgo for g little matter of $373,000. Some years ago Dr, Flower made regular trips through Kentucky and to many of the aillicted who gaye up their money to swell the doctor's incume, “the greenest spot in memory’s waste’ is the rememberance of the great cure-all physician and the me- teoric flight of his palatial private car, along with the tender grace of the dollars that went whistling down the wind in the wake of that same private coe, Lp, Flower was a great advertiser, He bought columns of He adver- After its ahead. for one night only in the large cities, He reaped an abundant harvest. People flocked to him by the thous- ands, the halt, the lame and the blind, and his income at one time was little less than that of a Van- derbilt or a Rockefeller. His money came easy and seems to have gone the same way. Perhaps he is one of the many who can make money and can not keep it. At any rate he has failed, and failed, too, in the grandi- loquent style that seems characteristic of the man, There is another chapter to Dr. Flower's life perhaps not so well known. Some years ago he was a preacher in the Christian church and resided at Mt. Vernon, Lll., only a few miles from Henderson. He was regarded as an intellectual wonder and many Henderson county people remember when he participated in a debate with the Rev. Frogge, a prom- inent Methodist of Corydon. It was a meeting of giants, and was attended by people from all over the state. Flower frequently preached at Hen- derson and remained in that section of Kentucky and Illinois until along in the ’70’s, when he went to Boston, and later conceived the scheme of playing faith healer on a scale never before attempted in this country. Dr. Flower is a brother of %. UO. Flower, many years editor Arena. Another brother, George E. Flower, war time pastor of the FY y church at Paducah, and his refiains now rest in Oak Grove cemetery at that place. George E. Flower was a gifted man, earnest, eloquent and magnetic. No more popular minis- ter ever resided in Paducah, and his memory 18 honored and revered by all who knew him.’’ COLORED DEPARTMENT. CHURCHES. Husband Street Church (Methodist)—Sua day school9 am.

Philosophy ot History. In the Northern part of Africa, washed by the gentle waves of the Mediterranean Sea and the placid waters of the Red wea, fanned by Abysinian and Ethiopian breezes, traversed by the winding Nile, be- tween latitude 24 degrees, 3 min- utes and 45 seconds, and 31 degrees and 35 minutes, North, reaching from desert to desert, with an area of 400,000 squares miles, and a population of 7,000,000 souls, lies a fertile valley, called in all ages Egypt. Geographically speaking, present Eazypt, of all the countries of the world, 18 the same she was 4000 years ago—the same yesterday, to- day and forever. 7 But in comparative importance as a member of the tousehold of na- tions she is the greatest conceivablo contrast to the Egypt of antiquity. This land of pyramids is now @ part of the Ottoman Empire, a power strong only in weakness, standing only to preserve the balance of power on continental Europe—a power which can boast of nothing of special worth in the past or present —a nation which fosters ignorance, perpetuates slavery, and derides Christianity.
