A GOOD SERMON.

Gxt the Reporter Made a Natura) Mistake About Its Topic, A well known Milwaukee newspaper

To dispose of two within iat period was not difficult, but when 9 o’clock the task of covering a ser: n delivered some 15 minutes before presented itself the problem became nore involved. The minister could not reached, nor could any of the congre- gation be located; consequently he chose one alternative open, which was te t} ‘ct announced in the raorn- build up a notice from Whether or not this was wise is iumaterial; the fact remains that he ex- imined the tiles on his return to the lice, found that the Rey. Mr. Smith would speak on “Gambling,” and about to “fake” his story. Now, ordinarily—that is, ief notice might be made degree of safety with the material at hand, but in this instance the stock theme of gambling proved too great a temptation to resist. With a laudable ambition to display his versatility, the reporter started to construct a sermon of his own, picturing the evils of the vice under discussion in a fearless fashion and even employing direct quotations to lend vividness to his account. The story

when completed was a gem, and the newspaper man turned his copy in with an *I-consider-that-a-pretty-creditable job” air.

And now comes the pathos which this tale involves. The Rev. Mr. Smith call ed at the office on the following after noou and inquired for the ™snr who had reported his sermon of the eveaing be fore. Accordingly the reporter was sum- moned, and this is the conversation that ensued:

“So you are the young man who wrote up my sermon, are you?”

“Yes, sir,’”’ not without a slight mis giving. “‘Was anything the matter with it?’

“No, young man, it was an excellent sermon, excellent, and it expressed my sentiments exactly. But,” and he laid a disagreeable emphasis on the word, “but

was one objection. My last even ing’s subject was ‘Grumbling,’ not ‘Gambling.’ ”’

‘The remainder of the conversation and the sequel to the incident are too painful to detail. But to this day that newspa- per man never hears the word gambling without an uncomfortable start. And, as has been suggested, even reporters sometimes make mistakes.—Milwaukee Sentinel.

A Dismal View of Life.

What a dismal old world this is, any- way. In January and February we are in danger of freezing; in March we shiver and chill and are liable to contract pneu- monia; in May and June there is liable at any moment to be a deficiency of cy- clone caves; before the danger of destruc- tien by the elements is over gnats, flies and mosquitoes arrive in unnumbered millions, and each one seems anxious to do business. With July, August and Sep- tember come miasma and microbes and green corn, apy one of which, if absorb- ed or taken in allopathic doses, will pro- duce a tired feeling with complications.

October is a bad month for chills and fever. It is also about the season of the year when the bedbugs assemble in aii the vigor derived from a season of feasting and make a final and desperate assault preparatory to retiring into a state of in- nocuous desuetude for the winter. Fol- lowing this month comes the putting up of storgs and connection of pipe, payment of coa? bills, winter clothes, ete. Innu- merable things, such as house qeaning

and political campaigns, are not tncluded

in the list of tribulations.

Hew so many people manage to run the

gantlet and reach old age is simply mar- velous,
