{The ‘Foollshness of Preaching.
V5Thc pulpit -has this advantage over the
pews, that it is its ofiilce to 'speak, and its -
Tp'riizilege and right to be listened to', while
they-“pews ' are not expected to talk backf
whatever they think. And yet, in this age,
.éwbich is nothing if not critical. when the'
traditional reverence which once clung like a'
perfumcltoicvery man- who wore a clerics:
garb has; lost; much of its force, and when?
education is. the birthright of all,——the pewsi
do find a way to set forth their views. That
pulpit which aims no higher than to ehter-
tain, amuse, and satisfy the audience
whosit gazing up to it, falls of its object.
Its mission is still the same which Christ gave'
to his first apostles,—Go and teach. To in—
struct the ignorant,to comfort the sorrowing,»
to reclaim the erring, to lead the wandering
home, to feed the hungry, and to show the
sinner the Saviour, is the appointed work of
the, Lord’s ministers in this weary and
stricken world. MoSt of them honestly and
‘ earnestly strive to do it.

and daily prayer of ,the large majority, is to
be in deed and in truth Grid's ambassadors to
men. . Th‘ey yearn to be successful in saving
the lost. ‘ ,
_' But too often the. ministerlives the week

which task his intellectual povvers, lead him
through'the mazy windings of materialism
”and the mists of skepticism. He grapples
with fierce and sturdy errors, and comes off
victorious.

ters the sacred desk, prepared to combat her-
csies, to strangle objections, and‘ to set.
up the banner of the .Lord' triumphant
over evey foe. His Whole being is antagonis-
tic to; the adversary he sees before him, and
he proceeds with skill, and art, and'nice ad-
juStmentof praise, and perfection of logic,
first of all, to state the position of error.
When he has got error fairly set up and in—
trenched, so that everybody can see it, he
proceeds to batter it down, and he often does
it w'eu. '
There are two evils, however, which ap-
pertain tothis sort of preaching: The min-
ister, Without at all intending it, and often
without in the least suspecting it, suggests
doubts to some minds, and starts speculation
which might'not ariSe but, for his mistake in
mentioning them. Bright and [ambitious
young people resolve that they will taste for
themselves some of this poison which seems
39 delicately sweet to the taste. 'They read
books which they would never have thought
Of,touching, but for the guide post which
their minister set up to show them thither.
Skepticism has-had its beginning in many a
heart beneath the very shadow of the Lord’s
temple. The presentation of error has been
stronger than the charm of truth. The
mind, already pluming itself in its own con-
ceit, has been flattered at being credited with
the knowledge ‘of doubts - and difficulties
which puzzle and bafile the schohir and the
man of science; and it has straightway dc-
t'ermined—nor lost time in carrying its pur-
pose into pr‘acticeTto learn more of the de
.lightful and specious false philosophy of
which heretofore it has been in ignorance.
The other evil is, that nine-tenths of the

Not the husks Of positiveism not the grind—
ings of the scientific mill, should the pulpit
bring to feed famishing souls, but the bread
of life is what they need. Technicalities are
well enough, but there is no meat in them.
'He who is starving must have food, or he
‘will die.
Another Way in which the pulpit misses
its aim, is by yelling its message in words too
florid, and sentences too involved and rhetor-I
ical. But this is a fault which mends with
years. It is the common defect of beginners,
and they cast it off as they grow into the
heart of things, and feel for themselves the
difficulties of every day. '
"‘Young man, your sermon was very good,
but you held the fodder too high !” was the
criticism of an old deacon'to a young gen—

nor sentiment, nor flights of lofty imagina-
tion, nor daring similes, so that they be not

Bombast always defeats itself. The vanity of
inflated learning usually finds a ready pin to
prick its bubble. But, as a noted, literary
critic has said, “Though bread be necdful,

WHY AN OLD SOLDIER GAVE TWO NEGRO
REFUGEE FAMILIES WORK ON HIS FARM IN
INDIANA.
.—.—.—.—
The Logansport (1nd.) Journal prints the
following interesting letter:
The Hon Charles Kahlo .-
Mv ESTEEMED FRIEND: You- have my
thanks for sending the Pita/roe of the 18th
inst. It is surprising-to see how a very or-
dinary transaction in our business affairs can
be construed by blind political partisans in—
to a matter of great public-concern. The
truth, that I sent two colored men and
their families, consistingof some 12 women
and children, from this city to my farm in
Newtown County, where I am needing some
farm laborers. These people had just ar—
rive‘dherc from North Carolina. These are
tlie'peo'ple referred to by the editorof the
Pita-r03 when he says :' “Tell it to the labor—
ing white men of Indianaoplists that Col.
Streight is stocking his farm in Newtown
County with North Carolinanegroes.” Cer-
tainly, tell it to men of Indianaoplis, both
white and black, that I sent these people to
work on my farm. Why not tell them ? ,I
have repeatedly advertised for farm laborers
to go to my, Newtown County farm,‘ and
have sent numbers of'tbem there, gave them
rcmunerative employment, and Istill want
more, and, so far as.I know, there are no
idle farm hands in Newtown County. Yes,
tell it to the people that Isent two colored
men, with their families. my Newtown
County farm, and I will a d that they are
poor and destitute, but I believe honest and
industrious, .
Now, friend Kahlo, while I am writing, I
will add that I have a very kindly feeling
for these poor destitute, persecuted people
who are endeavoring to escape from a con—
dition worse than slavery. It will soon he
10 years (in February next) since I was
making my way from the same country.
That class of people was then called rebels;
and those rebeis had orders from the com—
mander of the prison from, which I had es—
caped to capture me, but to not bring me
back. My life Was at’satke. but human en—
duraucc has a limit even when life is at stake
and this limit was reached when I 'was on
the south bank of the Rappabannock River,
near ’l‘appahannock, after a terrible day of
crossing difficult streams, marching, and hid-
ing from the enemy. My feet were sore; 'I
was worn out for want of sleep, and starv-
ing for want of food. Escape seemed im—
possible. On the north was the Rappahan-
no‘ck River, (near three miles wide ;) on '_‘the
east wasa deep, impassible creek‘; on the
west was another stream of water, too wide
and deep to cross without a boat, _and on
the south side the rebels had established a
strong picket line. It was known by the
rebels that I was somewhere within the space
of the country above described, which was
not more than two miles wide and three or
four miles long. A cavalry regiment, to—
gether with the people, both black and
white, with their dogs, had turned out to
hunt all day for my place of concealment.
It seems almost providential that I was able
to elude their ivigilanee through that ter~
rible day. But darkness put an end" to
the search, and I Was left to consider the
situation. '
Up to this time my policy had been to
avoid trusting anybody and to endeavor to
get‘through'the country undiscovered. This
must now be changed, for I was in great
need of immediate ‘frieridly assistance, and,
as I had no confidence in the white men of
that wtion of the country, the black men
were my only choice. I started in the dark
through a drenching rain, and soon found
the negro quarters of a plantation, and, on
entering one of the cabins, 1 .was welcomed
by a good, honest Union man, and a
friend, :though a slave, who had been out
all day with his master hunting for me.
This man, at the risk of his life, took me
into his cabin, procured and cooked it boun—
tiful supply of food,and permitted me to rest
while hejoined his master the next day in
a vigorous hunt for my place of conceal—
ment. Night came again, and the negroes
returned to tell what had been done, and of
the fact that a certain boat, by chance, might
be captured which would enable me to cross
the Rappabannock, and thus escape from my
pursuers, ' The negroes Of this plantation,
at the risk of their lives,joined me in capturr
ing thc'boat, and piloted me through a dif-
ficult stream‘to the river, and returned to
their homes to join in the search for my
wheghouts on the marrow. By their as—
sistan e I made my way out of the reach
of the enemy and my life was spared.
The colored people now flying from South-
ern pasecution are trying to escape from
the same evil spirit that plunged our couu —
try into war; that starved and tortured to
death over 30,000 Union soldiers ; that
hunted escaping prisoners :of war with
blood-hOunds; that sincehthe close of the
war has murdered lens of thousands of men
and women for entertaining political opin-
ions f'avorable to the Union ; that has organ-
ized rifle clubs and Ku-klux bands to whip
scourge, {,and mnrder Union pepple. I say
that it is from this evil spirit that these
poor people are trying to escape, and it was
from the same demon that I made my escape.
And now, remembering the fact, if .any man
supposes that I have no sympathy for the
refugees, be is -not acquainted with my dis-
position, for I do not intend to be guilty of
ingratitude. Hoping that the, time will
soon come when‘our National Government
will protect the rights ofourcitizen through-
out the length and breadth of the land, I
renlain, most truly, yours, ‘

A Goose With a History.
A reporter of The, Republican had the f 01-
lowing related 'to him a day or two ago by a
party who knew it to be true: “Something
oven :1 year ago a‘young girl of West Brad-
ford township, about twelve years of age,had
presented to her a goose egg by a neighbor
'where she w'as visiting. . She carried it home
and set it under a hen, and hatched’vout at
young gosling of the masculine gender. She
married a Mr. Scott, and they resided on the
farm now occupied by Mr. Caleb Pennock,
West Bradford. The old gander lived,flour-
‘ished, and furnished feathers for a number of
beds. Mrs. Scott died at an advanced age,
and requested in her will that the gander
should not be killed or go of! the place, and
it is now living, being something over eighty
years of age. It is very cross, and will at-
tack persons, tcar their clothing, and is as
spry as some other geese on the farm which
are twenty-five years old.” It is believed the
mate to. that goose was sold here in Norwalk
fdr table use, last Thanksgivrng.
'- Redpath tells this story of Anna Dickenson,
in reply to the question if somebody did not
write her'spccchcs for her :—
“Why, her greatest efforts have been un—
prcmeditated. I remember one night I had
a large audience assembled—Over two thou-
sand people—in Music Hall, to hear John G.
Saxe speak. I had engaged him months be—-
fore. Seven, ten minutes past, fifteen mm-
ntes past. and no Saxe. I was in despair,
for it was my flrstseascn, and Ihadn’t learn-
ed to take disappointments with coolness.
Anna was in Boston, at the home of- Brack—-
ett, the great fish painter. She heard of my
distress, and sent word that if I could
manage to hold my audience until 9:30
o’clock, by some amusement, she would dc-
liver a lecture for me in reply to ‘Brother
Fulton,’ Mr. Kelloch’s successor at Tremont
Temple. Fulton had delivered a lecture the
night before at another course I was maria -
mg in which—he debated with my frien 9
Gilbert Haven, now Bishop Haven, the
woman’s rights question, and had taken ex—
treme grounds against it. She drove to Box-
bury, and didn’t know till I came for her
that I had held the audience. ' It its: 9130
before she finished her lecture in Roxbury.
When I handed her into the carriage she ap—
peared utterly exhausted, and I proposed to
drive her home and dismiss the audience.
‘No’, she said; ‘just let me lie back and
think; don’t speak; I’ll be ready.’ It was,
nearly 10 o’clock when she went on the plat-
form iu Music Hall, and she delivered one
of the best lectures of her life. ' The most
critical auditors pronounced it one of the most»
masterly speeches of her life. Write her

sc‘rirrrirc MISUELLANY.
Concerning the posssibilities of death from
the fall of aerolitcs, Prof. Proctor says: “I
have received several rather anxious inqiries.
respecting the dangers to be feared from
meteoric downfall, the death of David Mics-
e'otlaser having apparently suggested that
such dangers may be greater than has here—
fcre been supposed. If we knew the aver-
age number of meteoric masses which break
their way through the earth’s armor—that,
is, through the air,—it would be very easy
to calculate the exact chance of death by
meteoric downfall; As amatter of fact,
we have no satisfactory evidence on this
point, becausemost of the meteorites which
fall upon the earth escape attention. I sup-
pose, however, that if Prof. Newton, of Yale
College, rightly assumes the number of fall-
ing stars of all orders to be 400,000 yearly, .
we may fairly assume that about 4000 me-
teorites fall annually upon the earth’s sur—'
face. This allows one meteorite for 100,000
falling stars. Now, let us take the total
number of human beings at any one time on
the earth, 1,500,000,000. Assume the risk
of persons within doors to be equal to that
of persons in the open air—for a meteorite
falling on. a house would not_bc seriously
interrupted in its course, since it would
travel with a velocity of, several miles per
second. Again, remembering that , theme-
tcors do not fall vertically, nor, even if they
did, do men always stand upright, we must
takcalarger surface for each person than
that which he presents as seen from above
when standing. We may take half a square
yard for the adult and perhaps quarter of a
square yard for the average human being.
Now, the ~airth's surface.coutaius about 3,-
about 3,000,000 yards, or 12,000,000 quarter
square yards—in all, 2,400,000,000,000,000
quarter square yards—whereas the human
race only occupies only 1,500,000,000 quar-
ter square yards. Thus the chance of a sin-
gle meteoritc striking some one is as 15 in
24,000,000, or as 1 in 1.600.000 f and 11'
4,000 meteorites fall per annum, the chance
of one death occurring in any given year is
about i00th. On the average one death by
a meteor stroke might be expected to occur .
in 400 years. If it is true, as I have seen re-
cently stated, that‘ninc such deaths have oc-
curred in the last 900 years, it would appear
probable that 16,000 meteorites, instead of
4000, annually reach the earth.”
The great engineering project, of a canal

' A cast-iron gas main at Saarbrucken.was
lately taken up, after having been laid for
ten years, and when removed was found to
be conqerted ‘into a soft substance which
couldbe cut with a knife, and, on analysis,
was found to contain only fifty-two per cent.
of metallic iron. The pipes had been cover—
ed with coal ashes which were found to con-
tain much sulphur, and the destruction of
the pipes is supposed to have been due to the
sulphur in the ashes and the oxygen of the
atmosphere. . -
It is stated that the German explorer, Ru -

The long pending law suits against the

' The NationalBoard of Health recommends
these disinfectants: First, roll sulphur

‘: Some months since, Mr. Muybridge, of
San Francisco, surprised and delighted the
scientific world by ,thejpublication of a ser—
ies of twelve instantaneous photographs of a
galloping horse, showing the animal in as
. many different stages of a single leap. Some
of thepositions recorded, were most ungain-
ly and appeared almost impossible, but they
were nevertheless real. The camera had
copied faithfully the positions changing far
Muybridge has now extended his photo—,
graphic observations to the spring of the
grey :hound, in this manner: The dog is
got at speed by releasing him On one side in
pursuit of a rabbit which has just been made
to pass in front of .the camera; the moment
the dog leaps past the camera, the series of
fine wires is broken, the electric circuitis
closed, and the trustworthy collodion has put
the fleeting vision on permanent record.
These pictures hardly reveal the graceaud
symmetry of movement with which'we are .
accustomed to associate the grey liofid, but.
illustrate the science of motion rather than
its poetry.
Dr. Roystvn I’igottJias found that objects.
as minute as the millionth of an inch in
diameter can be seen with the microscope.
It has been generally believed by opticans
that microscopic vision could not be extended
to objects smallerthan the hundred thouandth
of an inch in diameter.
A curious atmospheric phenomenon oc-
curred near Deadwood, D. T.,during the last
cold snap, which is described as follows by
the Black Hills Pioneer, under the head of
“Have we a volcano among us” : '
A remarkable'phenomenou took place at
Lead City, Saturday afternoon, that is with-
out a parallel in the memory of the oldest
inhabitant. The weather was extremely
cold up to half- ast 1 o’clock, when a warm
wave wind, ich increased in a few mo-
ments almost to a gale, came over the bills
from the northwest. The thermometer rose
30 degrees in 25 minutes. As the tropical
gust rolled down the gulch its progress could
be distinctly followed by great volumes of
mist that arose in fleccy clouds as the warm
air camcin contact with the colder currents!
The wave lasted about two hours, when it
died out as suddenly as it had come, and the
thermometer fell as rapidly as it. had risen to
about the same low notch it had marked in
the early part of the morning.
In all probability the atmosphere of the
Black Hills, from this peculiar description,
is affected alternately at times, within a few
hours, and perhaps minutes, by the cold air
waves coming down from Manitoba to the
northeast and the warm air currents origi-
nating in the Japan current of the Pacific
Ocean- to the northwest, occasioning those
sudden and terrific thunder storms that are
frequent there, and which are said to have
given rise to the superstition of :the Indians

09191)]: ated Safes,
In purchasing a Safe, we wish to call your
attention to some of tbimportant advantages
our Safes possess over all others, and which
make them the cheapest and best Safes ~now
made. ~ ‘
151:. Our “PATENT Ixsrnn BOLT WORK"
consists in placing the bolts and locks on the
inside of the door (as shown in the cut above)
where they are at all times accessible, and
can be cleaned and kept: in order, and thus
prevent them from unexpectedly locking you
out. In all other Safes the bolts are placed
next the outside plate of iron, being covered
completely by the filling, consequently im-
possible to oil or clean them without digging
out the filling, which is expensive, besides
losing the use of the Safe several days. As
the filling in onnSafes is‘ between the locks
and bolts and the outside plate of the door,
in most cases we can unlock our safes on the
combination after they have passed through a
severe fire, which saves breakingjhem open.
2d. Our "PATENT Hincnn CAP” consists
of the back plate of the door .being hung on
hinges, and fastened by a thumb-screw,which
enables one to have access to the locks and
bolts by. simply removing the thumb-screw.
3d. While other safe-makers use three
wheel locks on their fire-proof safes (reserv-
ing the best four-wheel locks for bank safes),
we put on our FOUR-WHEEL Locxs on all
safes, from the smallest to the largest, and for
simplicity and. durability‘ cannot be excelled.
4th. All our Safes ‘are IRON-LINED msiDn,
" instead of wood-lined as in' other safes, which
enables us to use the the greatest amount of
- water in our filling without danger of the
Safo’s being damp. All corn rs of the Safes
are secured with angle iron, hich, together
with the ve hard nature of our filling, pre—
‘- . ;.vents them‘ rom injury from falling, or fall—
‘ ting walls or timbers.
-- muons instead. of single or double as in
Our Safes have THREE
’others, and are made with and without inside
doors. In the great Boston fire our Safes had
the‘ champion record, as was fully proved' at
the time, to these important improvements
do we owe our success and the great popular-
ity our safes have attained throughout the
country. After that great fire we published
a complete list ufpur Safes exposed,those that
failed to preserve their contents, besides those-
that were successful, and. for months chal—
lenged our competitors to follow our example
which they would not do, as they knew that
" by so doing they would only assit us in dem-
onstrating to the world the'supcriority- of our
Safes, and our claim to the champion record.
Although that Great Fire so conclusively
proved the superiority of our Safes to resist
intense heat, we believbd that we could ini-
. prove them, and we have, therefore, since
that time, increased the thickness of the walls,
added to the number of flanges, and strength-
ened them in various ways, until we now
manufacture a Safe better than ever before,
and unequalled for its excellence. It has been
our constant aim to make the BEST SAFE that
can be produced, believing that, especially in
purchasing a safe to keep at which may
have cost a lifetime to accumulate, the best is
decidedly the cheapest. In these dull times
‘it is the custom of many safe—makers to man-
ufaeture several grades of cheap safes, and
recommend that which can be sold the cheap-
est, without regard to quality, , and many
safes are now in use that are painted finely
outside, but are worthless to preserve their
contents from fire. We make but One class
of Safes, which is the best we know how to
produce. Send for descriptive catalogue.

Arkansaertiquettc.
Recently two men from Philadelphia en-
gaged in a quarrel at a hotel‘in this city.
After using all kinds of epithets, one of the
men thrust his hand behind him is though
about to draw a pistol and then took it away.
The quarrel terminated without damage to
either party. An old man from South Ar-
kansas shook back his long hair, and advanc-
ing to the man who had- made the hip pocket
motion, remarked: '
“Both of you men are strangers here, I
reckon ?”
‘tYes.!’ . .
“Not acquainted with our liltle rules of
politeness?” ’
“How it”
“Why. you pm your hand behind you,just
now.
“Yes."
"You didn't pull a gun."
“I havn’t got a gun.”
“New, yaing mandet me give you. a piece
of advice, While you tire in, this country
don’t put your, hand behind you unless you
intend to shoot. Don’t ever run your hand
into your pocket for a cbaw of tobacker.
Don’t spit. rDon't wink, for if you do y 0‘"
pardner, ifhe’s an Arkansaw man, will jolt
you. - You must Iearn these little rules of
politeness. You may know how to conduct
yourself at church, but you’ve got a good
many rules of etiquette to harm—Little
Rock Gazette. "
Working 11 ,‘Bonanza. to Bedrock.
They had a church fair down at Spanish-
town recently, which was held in a large
grain warehouse just opposite the residence
of a cross old bachelor, the richest man in
the place. As the receipts were rather thin,
on the second night the ‘menagers secured
the cervim~o£ the local “MW“: band so
liven up matters. This band consisted of
two flutes, a fiddle, a comet, an accordion
and a bass drum, the latter instrument being
hammered'with extra vigor whenever one
of the other pcrfOrmers went out for beer.
They had succeeded in making about half
the night hideous when a fearful outcry was
heard across the way, and, on the partici—
pants throw'ng up the windows, they be-
held Ithev capitalists aforementioned 'in his
night gown and swearing in a manner- that
made the Sunday schodl teachers shudder to
hear. '
“What do you people mean by this infern-
al racket ?” roared the-exasperated man.
“Why—this—this is a fair,” said the lady
who ran the grab-bag.
. “Ohl it; is, is it ?”‘sneered.the disturbed
'party. ', .
“You call it fair to rob people of their
natural rest by this sort of second-hand pan—
demonium, do you ? Well,what's the f-a-ne,
eh P"
“What’s the what ?" asked the manager of
Rebecca's Wells. »
"Why, the fare—the admission fee ?” How
much to come in and be swindled 2’"
“The tickets are two bits,” replied the lady,
rather shortly. ,
"‘Very well; now talk quick, for this is
business. How much have you taken in so
far ?”
"‘Ninc dollars and six bits," said the Treas-
urer. . '
f‘And‘ how much longer does your fraud
on the public run 1’”
“Three nights.”
“Very well, that makes about forty dol-
lars—call it fifty in round numbers. Send
round to—morrow and I’ll give you a check
for the amount. Will make it seventy-five
if you shut up shop in ten minutes,” and
the old objector to innocent amusements
slammed down the window and returned to
bed. '
After wlch the congregation corked up
the orchestra and dispersed: - But they
are going to give a musical in the same
building before long. They say they’ve struck
a bonanza. in that old party and méan to
work it to thc' bedrock—San Francz'sco
Post. '
The Two Honeymoons. *
, Samantha Allen’s opinion upon these fa-
: 'miliu«moons,' n3 'cxprcascd‘. inure Chicago
Inter—Ocean, is as follows: “Thomas is as
determined asarock about one thing, that
when he and Maggie are married they are
going to keep house by themselves. The
first years in married life is a precarious
time, make the best of it; a dretful curious,
strange, precarious time; and if ever a wo-
man wsnts a free room,for meditation and
prayer, it is then; and, likewise, the same
with them. There never was two persons
sonear alike but what they was difierentmnd
had their different ways and eccentricities.
A woman may think she knows aman just as
well-as if she had been through his head a
number of times with a lantern; but let her
come to live with him from day to day, from
week to week, in sunshine and in storm;
when the dinner is ready at noon and when
it isn’t; when his bootjack is on the nail, and
when it is lost; when stovepipes are up ahd
when they are bein’ but up; and in all other
trials and reverses of life. I tell you she
will comeacross little impatient, obstinate
streaks in him she never laid eyes on before;
little ~selfish, overbearin’ streaks. And the
same with her. He may have been firm as a
rock in the belief that he was marrying an
angel, but the very first thne he brings un—
expected company home on washin’ daylie’ll
find he hasn’t. They may be awful good-
principled, well meaning folks, nevertheless,
but there are. rocks they have got to sail
around, and they want strength, and they
want patience, and-they want ‘elbow room.”
* * *. “There is another moon, what
you may call the harvest .moon of married
life, that rises to light true married lovers
on the pilgrimage. It may notbe so brilliant
and dazzling as the honeymoon, but its light
is stiddy and calm, and mellow as anything,
and it shines all the way down to the dark
valley, and throws its pure light clear across
it to the other side. " " ‘ Then, if they
want to take lira few infirm or even bedrid—
den relations, on his side or on hers, let ’em
take ’em iii—it ~would be perfectly safe."

Sleepless Sergeant Sanders.
The other day I met Sergeant C. D. San-
ders of .Parksburg, W. Va'. He is atal'l,
straight old man, anywhere between 50 and
00 years of age. 'At the time of the war he
did“ full and sometimes double duty, but
during the whole time never could suffic—
iently exhaust himself to induce evcn dis-
turbed sleep to visit his eyes. As he told
me the other day incidents in his life, I asked
him if physicians had ever examined and.
prescribed for him. “Oh, yes, indeed” be
answered; “during the war and {since the
doctors have given me a full share of atten-
tion, but even heavy doses of opiates have
never been sufficient to put me into sound -
sleep. I get tired like other men sometimes,
but never feel any desire to sleep. Once
during the war- I refused a position as an of-
ficer, preferring lb serve as orderly, so I
._ could have plenty to do. Why I tried once
the plan of working continuously for ten or.
eleven days and nights to see if I could not
go to sleep, butit was no go.”
“But what do you do at night 1’” I asked.
“on,” he responded, “I go to bed so as to
be out of the way, and when I get there
llay and think, and thinkfand think until
daylight." '
. Mr. Sanders has been sought \after by
snowmen, who desired to exhibit him asa -
great natuml curiosity—for such life cer—
tainly is—but' being a modest citizen,he pre—
fers to follow the more desirable walks of
mercantile life—0m. Times.
