saved from the burning building. The
house and one or two out buildings
were , total loss. The Burfords
have been living in town this win

"What were you doing drunk in th

"Was I drunkT" was the reply in a
tone of surprised innocence.
- -"The policeman
says you were." 1
"Under oathr
"Certainly."
"Perhaps he's
right, but I was Just
going along with a
birdcage In my
hand.". .

A Tart Answer.- '
: The Kev. .folm SIcXcill was holding
a revival service nt CraiiT. Waliw.an

question about tlio Hible.' At once a
note was sent u; to liinj reading ox
follows:
"Dear Mr.'SlcNe!lllf you nre'wek
Ing to help young men, kindly tell me
who was Cain's wll."
That seemed a poser, and the audi
ence waited with intense Interest, tern
pewd with amusenieut. to si'o how the
good niiin would estrleate himself.
After a pause he said:
"I love yotin men, especially young
Inquirers for light, and I would give
this young man a word of advice. It
is this: Don't lose jour soul's palvatlon
looking after other people's wives."
