cordial grtxting with those aboat him motinteda char and began tqfpcak his stjk simple direct conversational thotvwi his rixogniiion of lus auditucc aud his ability to adapt him- self to it he iit them m good hainor with a reference to tho uataral advantages of happy creek and a pictured what they might become in the future he told then he was glad to x to raiuy had brought their families the home wes a mans anchor he spoke of the bright faced children he had seeu iu the etrects and tvho as men and women iu a day not far distant would be an honor to dakota a sentiment that touching as it did the strong feeling of state as well as parental pride dieted a salisued murmur then he referred to the responsibility that rested ou theui to give to these cliildreti every tidvanugc and opportunity possible for we cant be young hut once as you and i know though wc never cease to live over the days when wc were young and he referred to some of the memories of boy hood and echoolboy days common enough to touch a kindred etperience in almost every memory and thouldnt wonder he continued glancing hightly around if in those days when sunday came more than one of you like myself used to put on that uncomfort able beet suit and mother bmshed yoar hair and tied a ribbon at your collar and you went to sunday school where you learned verses and sang hymns and carried home papers full of pictures ill venture to wy too that with niauy of you the memory of the room where you then met and the boys who tut in the class beside yoa meittiow and so widely scattered that yoa may never look upon each other again and the teacher around whom you gathered whose face it may be long ago vanished from its accustomed place is a very pleasant memory kot long ago i chanced along where an organgrinder was playing- a young man a pretty rough- looking fellow too came by and as the sf rain caught his ear he stopped and listen- ed till the tune flzs through and at its close tossed tic grinder a dollar with theres that fir it as he passed on i asked why the tune pleased him so much ana he said it was because it carried him back to the days when he used to sing it in sundayschool i wonder if it would have that effect on any of yoa and in ia a clear tenor voice he began the sweet byand by- as he sang on one after another caught up the strain and men spent and weaned with fortunes varied changes gamblers who hod but dropped their cards for a pass ing hour and desperadoes stained with crime and some mayhap with blood to gether sang of the land that is fairer than day i thought it would be so he said at its conclusion that went w well bhant we havc another starting in response to the assenting murmar a fmnillar moody and sankey air there were a number oljood voices in the gathering and most wefe feady to join in the chorus even if thea did not happen to know the words while on his part the leaders selections were those with ringing choruses as hold tbe fort pall for the shore and others of thoie melodies so widely known and sang that the fastidious are apt to complain of thero u worn to death there he exclaimed after some half- dozen or more- had followed in succession that was good wasnt it and now my friends what do you say to coming to gether with the little bhaveru sunday and ringing and teaching thorn to sing with you and doing an we used fo if yoa will agree to i will furnish yon with the prettiest tog books for little more than half price believe you wvuld all enjoy it what do you say to hie idea there was a moments silence at this un expected proportion and then mcdcrraott proprietor of tlie saloon across the way from bit mat on the bar inquired stranger might i ask what your business here is anyway for public opinion had been dwidcd over tho question as to whether he wjis a laud spectolator a book agent the representative of ft life insurance company a detective or a political candi date and his question but ciced the gener al desire forfliburancc that herein lay con cealed no trap certainly was lie frank reply this is my busmen some good people in the hast knowing what they have been to them have sent mc out here to establish sunduybchools in places where there are none and i not ouly took to the idea at oucc but very much enjoy it for instance yesterday i was at the town of enterprise 6ome dozen miles or to from here they selected officers last night and are going to organize next sunday kow whether oruo the missionary was aware of the fact here existed between the embryo cities kulerprise of happy creek the deadly and oilier rivalry that can attain its fullest development in towns very young and ambitious each of which is anxious both to secure the leadership iu liosition aud a coveted railroad so that whatever one had the other tniist at once possess in con some rye hardly liad he finished the sentence when a man ex claimed sco here boys well bsc enter prise and go iitr oie heller ou tins sunday- school racket ive three kids that shall come aud what we want is to all turn out on sunday whoop cr up and start the thing off in bangup style and a glance around was sufficient to show thai he had expressed to general sentiment of the assembly theres one trouble though suggested another with slight agitation what is that why you know we ought to have one o tlie pritjin hort to lead off sort o bell wether like an there amt a single oue o tlut laud in happy crtck his was alas not the first lime the missionary had been confronted with a simi lar etatc of affairs and in this case he was irtiurcd for it that afternoon he tud asked his landlord if they ever had any religious service in happy creek and thal worthy putting ins thumb hi his amiholc- iud immediately answered well i ixlicve there was a tenderfoot ifaptist minister hem here once loo kin for a phicv to heat but he coucludcd with a solemn wili that this wasnt exactly a healthy pucv an i btlieve ihere was a catholic priest ken here once an was-a- goiu to hym service brt the boy a got oulo it an hustled him around so he was glad to git out without any of his tomfoolery au i believe thats all the religious services weve ever had hiva in fact the inissionary had been warned of happy creel as a touh settlement and had he proposed a church oratlempted anything m the line of sermonizing if is probable hat he wjald have chared the fate of d baptist and catholic predecessors cut he had avoided the very word religion and his familiar talk pleasant maimer aud perhaps more than all the siiigingliad ivoti him favor with his listener so he promptly answered now when yon want lo build and you cant get just the material yoa would like yoa take the best yoa can get dont yoa v well thats what youll have to do iu this cas if yoa havent a christian man for superintendent choose the best man the very best fellow you lute who is he v there was a moments pause and then soumrche called out tom uarslow thats so came from one and another as a ripple of laugh- ter ran around the room one giving the opinion hut tom would be mighty sur- prised to find himself a sundayschool superintendent and another intimated that the lards he could explain best to the children would be those adorned with hearts spades and diamonds but dont vou worry none was jtcdcnnolts assurance toms a tiptop fellojv he can sing like a bird and hell bring the thing through fly over a now tef and lead a new and a better life and now mast i go alone or is there some one here who will go with me his voice was broken and tears were running dowu his own face and those of many of his listeners at he ceased a nun rose iu the back art of tho room aud said iu a broken voice as he came forward tom ill go with you ive been sorter proud to think that i was a pretty tough fellow but those sunday school hymns wc sang the other night set me to thinking of times a good while ago and to feeling kinder ashamed of myself though id a been ashamed to own it i3ul when tom was lalkin it came right home to me hat we wasnt dotn right here that i wasnt doin right and i want to turn over a new leaf too then a woman arose and faltered i once knew a better way but i lost it kow i want to hud it again aud keep in it always and one by one they arose in the solemn hush of that room where w lately vice and crime had held carnival and where now women were sobbing softly and the checks of men unused to a soften ing touch were wet and hearts were thrilled at ihe unseen presence so strangely mov ing among hem till a group of eleven had gathered hand iu iiand pledging to them selves- and to each other to walk the chris tian way so the sundayschool came to happy creek and today as a result of the seed planted by the young missionary there stands on the sight of the old saloon a neat white church whose bell summons weekly from pleasant and orderly homes a fall congregation of earnest faithfdl men and women and whose sandayschool is led by its first

whit li the last curious thtngyou bare met in your lagubriooj busmen asked 1 reporter of a toronto andcrtaker the other l day the undertaker opened the hd of a cofliu near ida elbow and replied do jou

donvwant all those women lo come and see me in my coffin looking like fright 80 they pro mised and she died contented only a woman would bother her head with inch thoughts on her dying bed moralized the reporter im not so sure of that said the undertaker i once buried an old chap a saloonkeeper whose income while be hed was unevenly divided between the lapport of his fsmily and the decoration of bis person the family go the smaller half he wore the it ait expensive clothes at all times and the glitter of a al dia- moadsirom his shirt front necktie watch- gnardand hii big red chubby- hands

declared she would obey hii every vih bat ii ms with a eavy heart that she brought otrmhe suit i was to dress the corpse in it was of the loudest biggest most blaring plaid you ever saw enough to frighten old nick himself away tbe 6hirt was covered over with a patlern composed of purple ballet dancers and scarlet bulldog and these with his big diamonds glittering all over hiibi made a startling sight for the mourn ers who looked into his coffin many were the lamentations that ihe poor widow ghoald beobligedkt bury all those diamouds aud mach admiratlou was expressed for the wifely devotion ftbich kepi- her from mur muring 1 j bat the widow was 110 fool she buried the jewels lure enough but hardly was the grave filed ap before she ordered the sexton to empty it again tbe coffin was opened sad the widow tjok the dia monds from the old cumiudenns shirt- front with her own- hand then they baried him a serotid timo i heard of another btrauge ca6e con tinued the undertaker which did uot come under my own observation yet 1 be lieve to be tree it was that of a fban who always had a horror of beiug gutlal alive he left a provision in his will that big bottle of chloroform was lo be put in his coffin with him it was lo be laid by his side and a tackhammer was to be put iu his hand so that if he came to life under groaud he could eruish the bottle at a blow and fill the cofiin

keg to inaugurate the sunday school interest in the novel enterprise and curiosity to seethe super- iatcudent iu his new role baring drawn oat almost the entire population at the appointed hour a young man with a wellcat face and clear xruuk gray eyes came focward and gave oat a familiar hymn at its close he shut the book iu his lianivaad after a moments silence said mv friends i wasnt at the meeting when you decided on his sunday school i was asleep when the boys came home and woke me up to tell me i was elected superintend ent i thought at first they were trying to get a rig oa me and i swore till the air was fairly blue but when they went on to tell how it came about i saw it was a bedrock truth they were telling for a fact well after theyjiad chaffed me a while they went lo bed and la sleep but i didnt go to sleep the news hod been a sort of moral shock i thought of my mother my christian mother in my far away old home and how surprised and delighted she would bo to hear that her wayward son was a sunday scbool superin tendent then i thought of the man i was accustomed as a boy to see in that position a good man whose life lay behind all he said and whose- example we boys felt even when we would not- acknowledge it i thought too of my own life thea4atr and wondered how ander heaven oue of the jaeerest sights is xo see how different emigrants carry their money host
