In response to a most cordial invita
tion yesterday a 1Ikram representative
visited the home of D. K. Uarr in the
west part or the city to "cat cherries and
mulberries." Such an abundance of
fruit as was there to help one's self to,
took away all bashful feelings and we
waded in. Old trees, young trees and
middle ageel trees, from small to large
were full of delicious fruit and bushels
had already been gathered. But this
was not all the fruit there was there.
Blackberries of several varieties, raspber
ries, grapes, plum, peaches and aj pies
crowded the bushes, trees and vines by
bushels, and foretold a rich harvest for
the summer and fall. Several trees bear
ing bushels of fine California plums stood
on the hillside as a testimony of Nebras
ka's fair climate, while a dozen trees of
two varieties of peaches bent gracefully
. under the burden of much fruit, and the
orchard of apple trees is already bent to
the ground While admiring all this
crop of fruit the scribe didn't neglect to
" fill up" and promises to b etilligent in
accepting the invitation to "c:;ll again.'

There was rt convention of Sunday
school teachers in session at Crystal
Luke, and nil the teachers of the three
counties represented were there. The
amount of biblical and theological
know kd go they had was something as
tounding. On tho last day of the con
vention tho high chief ranger of the
affair announced to tho 400 delegates
that ho would lo pleased to bare the
knowing ones f lunk up some hard ques
tions on subjects ertaining to their
work, writes them on slips of paper and
submit them to Liin, and that evening,
at tho last session, which was to le a
sort of entertainment, he would answer
them. A lot of people wrote their ques
tions and gave them to tho great profes
sor, and when evening r.nno ho had
about lifly god old gnarly problems in
his bunch of pajie-r slips.
The evening's exercise began with read
ing and answering the questions, and
though some of the-in were from away
back and very obtuse, tho good man who
had put himse lf up there as a mark coited
with them successfully and impressed
the great gathering with his vast knowl
edge. Finally ho ran against a question that
made him knit his brows. IIo scowled
at it a moment and the n laid it asiele.
When he answered all the rest ho picked
up this side tracked query and said:
"Hero is a question which I confess I
am unable to answer. I submit it to the
audience, and if any one is able to give
the answer I will be glad to hear what
it U"
Then ho read this query:
"Who was the boy and what was his
name who held tho basket containing
the five loaves and two fishes which fed
tho multitude?"
Nolnxly mado any effort to answer it,
and tho professor na id:
"It seems that noboely knows any
more about it than I do. I will have to
call on the person who submitted the
question toconio forward and answer it.
Will you please do so?
To the great surprise of tho 400 people
and of his mother as well, Frank Jones,
a 13-year-old school boy, got up and Inod
estly walkeel up the aisle. Everybody
looked at him amazed. Tho professor
said:
"Did you submit this question?
"Yes, sir."
"Can 3011 answer it?"
"Yes, sir."
""Well, I am sure everybody will be
glad to hear it."
"Tho boy," said Frank quietly but
steadily, "ras Ben Ezra, son of Miriam,
who was a sister of Philip, one of the
twelve disciples."
A murmur of astonishment ran over
the audience. Hero was something too
.deep for even the professed theologians
in convention assembled. The professor
turned to the boy:
"Did you find that in the Bible?"
"No, sir."
"Where, then, did you get it?"
"In Greek history?"
That was the cap sheaf. A lad of thir
teen bowling down 400 declared teachers
in the Christian cause, anel telling them
in an unassuming way that he dug the
information out of Greek history.
I think it will be well to give this boy
room to spread himself -when he becomes

James 3IcCalan, a young man residing
on Walnut creek, near Index, Mo., was
squirrel hunting. Noticing his dog bark
ing furiously, he went forward. The
object of tho dog's attention was an
enormous black snake, which, when
killed, measured fourteen feet nine
inches. Tho reptile 6tood perfectly erect
for about four feet of its length, and
seemed unablo to move the middle part
of its body at all.
Although somewhat abashed by the
formidable appearance of the reptile,
Jim was not slow to observe that it could
not move from the spot where its body
seemed bound to the earth, so he picked
up a stout club and striking tho monster
several blows upon its head, which it
was waving about in the air, soon dis
patched it. lie was again astonishetl when.
attempting to raise tho monster upon
his stick, he wps unable to lift it from
the ground.
About that time ho saw a neighbor on
the road. Calling upon him for assist
ance, they cut tho snake open at the
place where the immense weight was
located. They took from its body an old
boot leg thonged together at each end,
and containing something so heavy they
could scarcely lift it. Great was their
surprise and joy when, upon cutting
open the boot leg, it was found to be
filled with gold coins from $1 up to $20.
The only plausible explanation is this:
It is well known by parties liviug here
that during tho late war a party of bush
whackers hurried a boot leg full of gold
some w hero on Walnut creek. x The
monster was found near a small ravine,
where it is supposed the gold w as washed
out of its hiding place and found by the
snake. St. Louis Republic.
