I lml been a clcrcyinnn or tin; Kcc ond rrcHliylcrlan clmrMi In our town for Hovcral yeara when I lit'Kan to hi- a doubter. I Hint doubled the mlracluH. Thnt'H. (ho way all h).i'1,(Ich IickIii, and they think that If tin- inlracloH wcro out of tho way they could bellevo all (lie rt'Ht. It wa hard to get iiji In (ho puljdt every Huiulay and preach what I didn't believe niyHolf. Finally 1 ap plied for a leave on (he umial clergy man'H Krouud-a bad (hroat and went on a hou voyage. 'J'lie ahlp I Hailed In waa a (ramp. I wan (old (hat they had had fine weath er for three montlm. Home of (hem mild they'd be glad to co a hurricane, they had got ho tired of miiirIiIik; and light brce7.cH. Hut the day after I got aboard the weather changed, and, Hiiro enough, tho hurricane they wanted broke on uh furloiiHly. We were three dayH lighting hciih net going by wind traveling at the rate of a hundred miles an hour. We had everything bat tened down, but tho wavcH pounded out the ghiKH over the cabltm and ho much water poured Into the hold that nil hands -paHHengeiH and all were called upon to man thepumpH. During all tliln never did n Hullor puns me but he Hoowled at me, and oc caHloually they would gather In knofn, talking and Hhootlng malignant glanceH at me. I didn't know what It meant, and beforo I found out the wind died down. Hut it came up again, and we went through three more days of much tho Hamo kind of weather. When thin second Htorm wan over I was Hlandlng on tho deck one afternoon looking at n rainbow which Hecmcd lo me a bow of promise when a number of Bailors headed by an old salt with rings In his earn camo up to me, and tho old fellow said; "Parson, we've come to the conclu Ion that you're bringing these storms on us, and we don't want no more of 'em. We're goln' to pitch you over board." Boeing n capstan bar near me, I seiz ed it to use as a means of defense, but a man behind me was too quick for me, and I was held In a titanic grip. This gave tho others a chance. They closed and over I wont. Tho men continued to look over tho Dido of tho vessel (o see what became of me, especially as that place was ollvo with sharks, and I had scarcely Htruck tho Kiirface when a big fellow gave a slow (lap of his tall and float ed toward me. I'm a good swimmer and bed no difficulty In keeping on tho surface. Itosldcs, I had hung on to tho capstan bar, which was enough to Iloat me anyway. The shark camo Hlowly up to mo, turned on Its side with a view to taking mo In, opened wide lis scissor Jaws and Hero die turning point of my story comes In. I put one end of tho cap Btan bar on his lower Jaw, and, Just ns tho two started (o get together, I wedged the other end In Just back of his tooth on his upper Jaw. And thoro ho was. I was floating nbout between the two rows of teeth, hanging on to the middle of (ho bar. Then when I was patlsflcd the shark could not blto I Just floated out and up to the sur face. Nothing succeeds like success, The sailors who watched what I had dono threw Unci, down to mo and hauled mo up ngaln on dock. The llrst thought that camo Into my head was tho miracle I had most doubt rd -that of tho prophet Jonah. I saw It In a different light than over before. Hadn't I Just been through a more re markable occurrences And how had I escaped? Hy tho samo way as I had been tossed overboard - force. I mado up my mind to slop doubting and go to work. I saw that the sailors, after my experience with tho shark, were nfrall of me, and I resolved to profit by their fear. .1 proposed there after to preach tho gospel peaceably when I could, forcibly when I must. "Every man Jack of you," I thunder ed, "como aft to prayers!" I led them to tho after deck, not a man refusing to follow, and gave thorn half an hour's service. I established two services a day, and at every serv ice I read them tho story of tho prophet Jonah, at the end asking them If any one of them disbelieved It. Tho first day one man Raid it was all a Ho. I knocked him down. Ho got up, and I knocked him down again, and ho kept getting up and I knocking him down, till at last ho paid, "I bellovo you, parson, anil I reckon you're tho man that lived throe days In tho wlinlVs belly yourself." filiKo then I have hollered that force oven In our calllug Is better than per suasion. At any rate, there are cases whore persuasion won't work, but force will. And If (hero Ls any place where force will work belter than porsuaslou It's among a ship's crow. I remained al ion rd thnl shlji seven mouths, and I found llio only way to lnduco tho mru to bellovo anything extraordinary wh to hammer It Into thoni. I thniHlmd a man Into bullovlng (ho story of Hum son, two moil for doubting the story of Joshua making tho sun stand still nnd overy mnn of tho crow for rliHcul lng tho falling of tho walls of Jericho ttt tho blowing of u rani's horn. f IL e--' 1 hVI II B I UY-n..-J fA UUJl jrl NOTES CM.BARNIT2 RIVERSIDE o correspondence SOLICITED 0 IThcbo articles nnd llluntrfttlons must not bo reprinted without m.eelal ncrmU-Dlon. AN EDITOR'S PIPE DREAM. IIIh lifod bowed on lits Ink stained hand. No wrinkles cleaned hln brow. A mnlle wnH playing- round IiIh mouth, l'or he wim dreaming now. IJcfore him pranced a turkey fat. It wuh a ChrlBlmaH kIM. It wan of hucIi piopoitlons vaBt The blid ho could not lift. Next rose before him a reat wad. It was IiIh bank account. Delinquents had all mailed a check And paid the full umouut. Lnnt buzzed an nuto to his door, And on It tacked this card: "Tim town present!) this car to you iiccuiine you vo boosted hard." Hut, oh, alas, when he awoke These sweet dicams camo not true! Come, brother, shed your tears with me While I tell all to you. First, on his desk an old sklnnint Home wormy turnips laid And coolly said: "There, now we'K Rquare. My sub. Is overpaid." Then camo bis bills, then camo eom more. They poured In like wildfire. Then camo the message, "Ink's rone up, And paper, too, Is higher." Then, last, four preachers bounced right In And licked him like tho dickens Ilecausa he said when they were round The folks should watch their chickens. Then that poor soul from out the wreck Cried, "O ye gods afar, Was ever tliere un editor Horn 'neath a lucky star?" A volco replied from out the blue: "I.lft up thy weary head. If they don't pay you while you llvo They'll praUo you when you're dead." C. II. UAimiTZ. THE PROPER DISPOSAL OF DEAD FOWL8. Many an epidemic of poultry disease has decimated the Hocks of a town be cause dead fowls were not quickly and carefully disposed of. Corpses of cholera and roup victims need not bo dragged by dogs to anoth er's premises to destroy his poultry. A dead hen left to rot on a house roof for a week In the sun brought death to nearly every pen along tho alley for a square iu a nearby town. How? The disease floated on the air. Air brings us tho fragrance of flowers nnd in the same breath may bear death. Heuienibcr tho invisible death deal ing microbe that breeds by billions in proper environment nnd floats to de stroy on tho four winds of heaven. Talk of war being hell thluk of that noiseless destroyer that slays more millions hi a year than all tho wars of the centuries! Then there are those awful furry footed blowflies and those dreadful slimy maggots. Aro you careless In digging graves for dead anluials? Remember tho rotten way English fanciers breed maggots to feed their pheasants! They skin a horse, let him be blown, bury him In a shallow grave, and tho maggots wiggle to the light for pheas ant diet. Maggots come up from shallow chicken graves, fowls eat them and get deadly nervous diseases; but, what Is worse, these slimy things change Into blowflies that revel on rot and then fly to your home with mi crobes and filth on their furry feet. In the warm season It ls easy to dig a deep grave, throw lime on the carcass and pack down tho dirt and have your chicken cemetery where hens don't dlg In winter cremate the corpse quickly. DONT8. Don't let strangers parade through your pens at laying time nnd always have your bulldog, True, lu view. Don't feed much white wheat too much starch for health; nor coru-too much fat for wealth. Don't lust go to a poultry show to have a good time with tho boys. It shows bad tasto and Is waste. Don't build a shack that will cause laughter. You'll tear it down here after. non't choose an advertising medium because It's cheap. That's where you'll tioldom reap. Don't locate Just anywhere, hucli cuckoo style Is not worth while. If tho place suits your wife and purposo In view, then suro it ought to Hiilt you too. Don't booze. Huslness Is biz. on t whizz In beer flzz. Don't forget that hens aro eggsperis on reciprocity. Few ots. fw oggs, much grub, whole tun. Don't keep fowls where waier freezes solid. You'll lose mo itou, they'll lose their toes. l-,.'t !.. (hnsii dUCkllllKS SlCl'P Ollt In tho frost. They'll Kot cramp l you'll not make llrst cost. Don't advertise on Mars and Cook's north polo. You'll speud llttlo on ship plug crates nd dray If you udver tlso at home. r Fred A.
