W AM BOLD.
Warn bold came out of the mountains.
He had long curling black locks, a
■lender, supple body, and an indefina
ble air which can. perhaps, best be
described as patience. No one in town
had ever seen him before, and he did j
not aay anything about his past. He
appeared, in fact, to be interested only j
in the future, and his interest in that j
wa* so broad and general that it was
almost the sole theme of his discourse. I
Not only was it the subject of his con
versation. but he harangued about it
on the street corners evenings after j
the men had come down from the
mines.
“What are you waiting for?” he
w< aid cry. .standing hatless or the
street wall the sunset throwing a red
light about his emotional face. “You
waiting for these mighty mountains
to rol! up as a scroll? You want the
sun to drop down out of the sky and
the stars to shoot from their places?
Does it need all that to show you that
the day of Judgment will surely come?
Why. you blind leaders of the blind,
the miracles are about you on every
hand, and they are within yourselves.
Nothing is so wonderful as yourselves,
and If you will read the book of your
own hearts you will find there the as
surances of immortality—nay. you will
discover an int>orn sense of justice
wh:>h will warn you that the day of
judgment must come.” Such words
as these he would speak in rather a
low voice of even modulation; then,
with a sudden wild gesture, he would
fairly scream: “Why, then, do you
dally? Tomorrow exploding dynamite
at your mines may hurl you out of the
world. While you are delaying your
bor.^e may slip and carry you with him
down the precipice. Now is the time
to rej»eut! Hurry! Hurry! You can
not run fast enough. But the way is
difficult and the shadows of night are
coming fast. There he waits you on
the mountains. Will you run with
eager feet*
then the hour being what it was—
with a sudden glory the sun would
t rich thedistant snows of the mountain
indicated by the preacher, and it would
It proved to be the case. Never be
fore had he been so fierce in his de
nunciations of anything as he was of
that circus. The town was shaken by
the storm of his disapproval—and it
was divided as to its course of action.
The night the circus came to town
Wambold held a prayer service, and he
cried with a great voice that Satan
was in the midst of them with a sca/
let temptation. Some of the children
wept. They did not want to belong to
Satan, but neither did they want to
stay away from the circus.
The blinds of the preacher’s cabin
were closed that evening, and no light
shown through them. The people won
dered why. They could never have
imagined the truth—that Wambold lay
face downward upon the clean linen
of his bed crying aloud to the Lord of
the hills to give him refuge from the
harassments of the evil one. Nor could
they have guessed that when the
mountains brooded over the sleeping
town that the preacher crept out of
his house and did not stay his steps
till he stood where the showmen were
driving the stakes for their tents, and
the women were boiling black coffee
over their camp fires. He sniffed the
indescribable circus aroma—horses,
leather, sawdust, fodder—as if it were
the sweet south wind breathing upon
a bank of violets. He bent an eager
ear to the jokes of the men, to the long
night plaint of the caged leopard and
the loud laughter of the women. Then
he stole back again to his darkened
cabin.
The next morning the sun smiled
with confidential jocularity upon the
town, and it beheld every woman and
son of woman going to the circus—and
the town was clear of hysteria for the
first time in a month.
“We’ll meet the parson by the foart
side a-warnin’ us, I’ll bet,” said Cud
White fo his wife. But he was wrong.
All day, while the drums beat and
the horns played, and the ringmaster
snapped his whip, and the bareback
riders labored at their nimble task—
there were two sessions of the circus
that day—the blinds of Wambold's
cabin remained fast.
After it was all over the people went

become indeed a Mount of Transfigura
tion.
It was easy, listening to words like
these, to forget that the speaker’s
green velveteen jacket, with its tar
nished bullion embroidery, was greasy
with the trailing of the long black
curls about the shoulders, nor was it
pertinent to observe the incongruity of
this tawdry garment with the miner’s
coarse shirt and the weather-beaten
sombrero, which, oddly enough, was
not the sombrero of the mountains, but
that of the Arizona cattle plains. The
trousers reached only to the knee and
matched the jacket in color, texture
and decoration; from the knees down
the preacher's legs were incased in
high-heeled top boots such as cowboys
affect.
“Ain’t you no more to your name
than what you've told?” asked Cud
White, the bartender. ’’Wambold ain’t
mu. h of a Christian name to my guess
in’.“
The barteflder, who knew Christian
usages, and the preacher, who did not.
smiled at each other meaningly, and a
crowd gathered round. The parson
drew something from his hip pocket
with a sort of a flourish—something
like the throwing of a kiss—and
looked at it with a close but imper
sonal interest.
“Cud,” he said, softly, “is my name
any of your business?”
“I don’t know- as it is." replied Cud.
agreeably. So they shook hands, and
It was decided generally that the
preacher had grit. His stock went up
5«) per cent.
As time went on the preacher grew
more impassioned, and many of the
women and a few of the men submit
ted to immersion in the icy mountain
stream and went on their way prais
ing. For a time an excessive and
demonstrative happiness pervaded the
town. The echoes gave hack the hymns
which the people sung together in the
open air under the stars, and the dawn
saw praise meetings held by the side
of the tramway that led to the mines.
A strange light began to burn in Wam
bold s eyes, and his cheek bones be
came more prominent, as fasting and
prayer and exhortation wore him thin,
and his magnetic hands were more
restless than ever in their movements.
In the midst of all this excitement
the posters of a circus were posted on
the billboards. It was done over night
between the coining of the passenger
and the going of the freight trains, and
in the morning the preacher was seen
standing before them a long time. It
worried the people. Was he going to
be so rigorous as to forbid them in
dulgence in their chiefest pleasure?
to their homes penitent. They were
touched by the silent rebuke of those
closed shutters. Some of them knocked
at the door, but there was no answer.
“Well have to make up with the
parson tomorrow,” said they, contrite
ly. But the morrow brought them a
strange tale. It was the station agent
who told it.
“Yes.” he said to those who got
wind of his tale, “when the circus folks

‘Snucks,’ says I. 'it’s the parson!’ But
I didn’t reely believe it. It was.
though. The women, they was pettin’
him an’ twistin’ his curls about their
fingers, and the men was slappin’ him
on the back an’ laughin’ fit to kill.
I called out: 'That you, parson?’ An’
he stopped stone still an’ looked at
me like a baby that is goin’ to cry.
Then he puts his fingers to the end of
his nose and wags ’em at me, an’ that
there girl that did the jumpin’, through
the paper whoops, she pulls him up on
the platform. ‘Ole friend of yourn?’
I asks the ringmaster. ‘Who? Wain

Best clown I ever had.’ I thought that
was the last of th’ parson, but just
as th’ train was pullin’ out he comes

he looks like a eryin’ baby agin. But

Tombstone I'liotograpbs.
Photographing tombstones is a novel
industry which has been instituted by
a colored man in this city, who was at
one time boy-of-all-work in a photo
graph gallery. He has recently
branched out for himself, and has al
ready established a remunerative busi
ness, which promises to open even a
wider field in the future. He visits the
various cemeteries with his cameras,
and when the day is fair he takes pic
tures of many of the imposing monu
ments. After he has developed his
plates he takes proofs around among
the relatives of the deceased, and usu
ally finds a reac/ sale for his pictures.
Of course, he has to take chances, for
he works entirely without orders,
trusting to sentiment for his sales.
Still, he says it is very seldom that he
doesn’t get an order. He also has a
habit of haunting the marble works
where tombstones are made, and by
striking while the iron is hot he takes
a picture before even the bereaved rel
atives have seen the stone.—Philadel

THE BLACK WALNUT.
Oar European Cousin. Are Paying High
Prices for It.
The great size often reached by this
tree, the richness of the dark brown
wood, the unique beauty of the grain
sometimes found in burls, knots, feath
ers and in the curl of the roots, all
conspire to make this the most choice
and high-priced of all our native
woods, says the Berea Quarterly.
Twenty-five years ago walnut was ex
tensively used in the manufacture of
fine furniture and finishings in this
country, but manufacturers adroitly
drew attention to the beauty of darkly
stained quartered oak and the use of
the rarer wood has greatly declined.
But all this time the search for tine
black walnut logs has gone on system
atically, though quietly, the trade at
tracting little attention, though the
volume of lumber handled has been
large. Though found to some extent
in the Atlantic states from Massachu
setts southward, the great source of
supply has been the central portions of
the Mississippi valley. The walnut is
at home in the rich alluvial bottom
lands of tne western streams and in
the stony limestone soils of the hills
and mountains and in such localities
the buyers have left few trees unsur
veyed. Throughout eastern Kansas,
Missouri and Arkansas, as well as the
states along the Ohio and its tribu
taries. may be seen a few logs at this
little station, a car or two at that, with
carefully hewn sides and painted ends,
ready for the market. If you ask
where the market is you will find that
the great bulk of this rare lumber goes
to Europe. While we have been led
into an enthusiastic admiration for
fine oak. stained according to the de
gree of antiquity it is supposed to
represent, our European cousins have j
been paying fancy prices for the rich
black walnut that we have allowed to
go “out of fashion.”
LOVING WIFE
And the Trouble She Saved Her Hus
band by Thought fulness.
Philadelphia Inquirer: "You've all
read lots of jokes about the woman
who gets up in the dead of the night
to rifle her husband’s pockets," said a
friend of the Saunterer. “They usual- |
ly confine themselves to the purloining
of what small change happens to be
there. But here’s a case 1 know of.
of a woman in West Philadelphia, who
showed much more enterprise than
that, and who, I think, deserves the
palm. It happened the other night.
The woman's husband is a traveling
man and is now home for a couple
of months. He was out the other
night, and as he did not get in until
between two and three in the morn
ing, he was pretty sleepy and his slum
ber was resultantly heavy. His wife
happened to be just out of change at
the time, and she thought of the old
wav of getting it. She got up quietly
and proceeded to go through the suit
which her husband had just taken off.
There was not a cent of change to be
found, and she saw with dismay that
the smallest thing was a ten-dollar bill.
She didn't have nerve enough to take
that, and she was rather in despair
for a moment. Then she came upon
a little bundle of tickets bound with
an elastic. Her face brightened up and
she put the package in her jewel box.
The next morning the clerk at the re
demption office of one of the railroads
paid out three dollars and thirty-two
cents for seven unused return coupons,
and the woman went briskly off to
spend her ill-gotten gains. And when
she told a friend, and the friend sug
gested that her husband wouldn’t bless
her when he wanted the tickets, she
answered in a very injured tone. ‘Why,
Just think of the trouble I saved him
in going way down to that horrid of
fice myself.’ ”

Statistical scientists will not let us

who is minuteness itself. He has
worked out, first, an approximate cal
culation of the numoer of words the
normal man utters in the course of a
year. Ignorant or cultured, playing on
the miner's vocabulary of 200 words, or
on the university professor’s thesaurus
of many thousands, it appears that we
let fall 11,800,000 words between Janu

ing on the ceremony a force sufficient
to raise a locomotive weighing eighty
tons. The raising of our eyelids is
accomplished 94.600,000 times per year
and represents the consumption of en
ergy capable of lifting a weight of
fifty-one pounds. Turning to the di
vision of our time, it is found that a
normal man living seventy years has
spent no less than twenty-four years
nine months and fifteen days asleep
and eleven years and eight months at
work. His recreation has occupied ex
actly the same length of time as his
work. He has passed five years and
ten months in moving about and the
same space of time in the operation
of feeding. His toilet has occupied two
years and eleven months. Two years

nothing or in little things that are not
easily classed. The surprise is the
estimate that a man passes exactly
the same time in thinking as in speak
ing—one year five months and a half.
Which gives one a new idea of the
value of what ought to be attached to
every man's utterance.
She Gave Herself Away.
The York (Maine) Transcript says
that a Portland minister recently
called upon one of the families in his
parish. He ascended the steps and
knocked at the door. Receiving no re
sponse he was about to depart, when
he heard a window in the next house
open and a woman’s voice: “Mrs.
Smith,’ the minister’s at your door.”
What was the pastor's surprise and
amusement when he caught Mrs.
’Smith’s” response wafted gently
around the corner of the house: ”Sh!
don’t you s’pose I know it!” The next
Sunday after service Mrs. “Smith” met
her pastor and expressed her sorrow
that she was away when he had called.
