Few people outside the scientific

Ancient Faith Cure.
Here Is a story of witchcraft. The
Lord Chief Justice Holt of England,
who flourished In the seventeenth cen
tury, told It of himself. As a young
man, perhaps more sprlnghtly than
some, he found himself once in the
country without any money. He went,
however, boldly to the first roadside Inn
and ordered bed and board. By the fire
side he saw a girl shivering with ague.
"Why let your child suffer?" he said.
"I will 'cure her for you In a single
night." Thereupon he wrote certain
characters on a Blip of paptr, rolled It
up In a cloth, and told the girl to wrap
that around her neck and go to bed,
and In the morning she would be well.
This sht did. Faith did the rest, and
In the morning she was well. Holt
stayed a few days at the Inn, and on
his departure boldly asked for his bill.
"Sir," said the hostess, "It is I who owe
you, not you who owe me." So he de
parted. Forty years afterward, being
on a circuit, he had to try a woman
charged with sorcery and witchcraft.
She healed sick persons miraculously,
and, therefore, by the help of the devil.
Delng questioned, she acknowledgtd
that she used a charm which generally
worked a cure. "Let me look at It,"
said the Judge. She handed him a small
ciotn roil, within it he found: a paper
with certain characters. Then the me
mory of the trick came back to him.
You were yourself, he said, once
cured of an ague by the use of this
charm?" She said that was so. Then
he turned to the Jury and related the
whole story, and dismissed the poor old
woman. But as for the charm, the
court Impounded It, and the poor witcb
lost her power.

June Bug In Church.
It happened last Sunday at the morn
ing service In one of Chicago's big
churches, but the choir has managed to
keep it quiet until now, says the Chi
cago News.
As the weather was warm the win
dows were all open, and Just as the
choir rose to sing the anthem, a largo
June bug sailed through the window
nearest the choir loft and began to buzz
around the organist's head. The organ
ist skipped a few bars and knocked
the beetle Into a corner. The soprano
was Just entering upon a difficult ca
denza when the June bug rose up and
sailed past her bead almost striking
her In the face. Immediately her voice
leaped to the highest note In Its com
pass, and she screamed three distinct
screams and then, overcome with con
fusion, she sank down Into a chair and
covered her face with her hands, while
the other voices took up the air and
swelled out In a chorus of harmony.
Members of the congregation com
mented that day on the soprano's won
derful voice, but none but the choir
knew of the June bug Incident until the
contralto let the secret out at a "socia
ble" last evening.
