Just before graduating for the coin
Is try Bruce Steven? spent four days
In the town of Newbern as a nart of
his vacation.
Mr Stevens found a political boss
and a political ring in tbe town.
Uo found one balf too many saloons
for a town of Its imputation.
Ho found tbe sheriff of tbe county
and his deputies und the constable In
cahoots with the tough element.
The justice of tbe pence was tbe
keeper of a saloon and passed drinks
over the bar. and he protected hiR own
soil when It came to legal troubles.
"Why don't you do something?" he
asked of n merchant of tbe town who
was a reoreseutative of the better ele
ment.
"Auil gel boycotted and driven tnt©
bankruptcy''" was asked In return.
"Is it as bud as that?"
"The gang lias us by tbe neck and
has us scared We have uo leader "
A few weeks later, when ready to
take up tils ministerial duties. Mr. Ste-.
"ens asked to. be sent to Newbern.
"But weJniVM a minister there." whp
replied.
"But he tins lost nearly nil of his con
gregatiou"
"Y«, the reports from that parish
are not at nil cheering, and 1 believe
Brother Bak»r would welcome a trans
fer. You know it'a one of the hardest
towns In the s<tnte."
"1 have spent four days there."
"The "-ansM of r»-llgon reported as
very lukewtirrn "
"1 didn't know that there was any
there at ill." smiled the minister.
"Well, you'll he appointed to tbe
nlace. I Nipt* yon uiav s'lr things up."
T>'e Vev Mr Stevens arrived. He
sfar'e'' out with a sermon thar Jolted
and Jarred. Me spared neither Chris
tian no* sinner While he criticised
the former for lack of backbone. hp
pluinlv told the lat'er that the crisis
bad come. The crisis infant decency
and reform without any shame about
't. After the sermon he llneewd to
talk with members of his congregation.
He found ihetn looking forward with
great timidity. If he started a crnss.de
he must not exited any active help from
them. They were thoroughly cowed.
"This Is to be a one man crusade,"
he answered them. "f~ did not expect
your aid. and so I'm not disanpolnted."
Monday morning the crusade open
ed. Mr. Stevens visited the sheriff,
and. without any beating around the
bush, he said:
"Sheriff, 1 am the new minister."
"Yu»V"
"I am going for your crowd tooth
and toe nail."
"Why do you call It my crowd?" was
asked
"Because It Is There are violations
of the law every hour of the day, and
yon stand by without Interference.
You drink in every saloon, and yon
comrade with every lawbreaker. It's
the sai»e with your deputies and the
coustables. It's got to stop. You have
got to do von? sworn duty."
"Another reformer struck the towu.
eh?" was the Insulting reply.
The sheriff weut from saloon to sa
loon nod laujfhed at the reformer and
saijl there should be no Interference
from him Within two weeks he was
removed and another man named by
the minister was In his shoes. The
citizens of Newberu were stunued. It
seemed incredible
The Rev. Mr. Stevens vls'ted the 1us
tice In his saloon and s^id:
"It's for yon to enforce the law. and
here yo»> are among the lawbreakers'
The others are depending upon von to
dismiss any complaint made against
them. What course are you goiug to
take?"
"None of your business!"
The nest day the minister complain
ed of nine saloons which had violated
the law. Each one of them was dis
missed. Inside of twenty days the old
Justice whs out and n new one In
There were ordinances against 8nn
day sports They bad not been en
forced in ttve years Tbey came to
tbe front now Nc more baseball or
horse racing
"B«nt the niertrtlt-r upi~ n;» wmsiHjr
ert. and a shake purse was made nr
to reward a scrapper for doing it
He started out wttb great ordor to
irak»» a two minute Job of It but It
lasunl only half that time. The min
ister knoe>sert him out with a Jab on
the Jaw and then had him arrested and
flrert for disorderly conduct
Then a public Cif* :'.n^ was called at
a ball, nnd the m>risi?» did some tall
talking Ue put heart tefc> the decent
citizens so strongly thot >hey came
out boldly to his support, nt:zl tbe op
nosition saw that their cau.>«e was lost
One""thine mora The Rev. Mr. Ste
pens from his pulpit raked ttw citi
zens of Newbern as they had never
beard a minister talk before. They
owed a duty to God and to man. They
must show up at church, whether they
were Christians or not The Sunday
school must be resurrected. There
must be church work. Religion and
politics must mix until every office In
the connty was filled by a decent man.
The devil had bad possession of New
bern long enough. Now be must be
knocked down and dragged out
There was no devil there a year
later. A stranger stopping at the Inn
of a Snnday would have looked around
Mm and mused:
"A ('lean town—a nice town—a re
spectable town. Everybody seems to
be going to church, and 1 guess I'll
go along too."
ft Sounded
Like Thunder
By F. A. MITCHEL
I met Lillie Longman and was Intro
duced to her nt u barn dance. I fell
bead over heels in love with her at
once. There was some attempt at fan
cy costume among the girls, and Lillie
was dressed like an Indian girl, her
ion? black hair hanging below her
waist 1 knew scarcely any one there
and stood watching a set of dancers
who were doing a quadrille or some
other of those old fashioned square
dances. Lillie was bobbing about, feel
ing happy in the consciousness'of look
ing very pretty and showing her long
locks, and all the while she was firing
quick shots at me with her black eyes.
After the dance 1 hunted for some
one to introduce me to Lillie and wns
successful. The pit-' had known I was
watching her In the dance, and every
oue of her unties was fur ma I wasn t
n dancing man and persuaded her 10
sit out n danee with me. Then a nice
looking, dapper young fellow took her
for another dance, and 1 looked on
igaln. This time her antics were for
roe all the same, hut they were of an
other kind. She flushed her eyes alter
nately at me and Into those of the fel
low she dan'-ed with. I was too Rtnptd
to see through this feminine device
then, and it hud Its effect Quite likely
It would have worked just as well with
me If I had seen through it When n
girl wishes to attract and a fellow
wishes to lie attracted it's the easiest
job in the w'j'I'l.
It wasn't <on« before 1 was going to
see I.Illie. She was an orphan and
lived with her grandmother, an old
lady 'leaf -is a trolley car conductor
whose car is jammed full of strap
hangers Shi? was half blind too._ But
she must have heard by contact with
substances if she didn't hear through
the air, and. as fur seeing, the darker
it was the better chance she had of
distiugulshln:: objects. She was like
other deaf and biind persons In that
respect She couldn't see or hear what
she should see and hear, but had re
ma aknble facilities for detecting what
was most Inconvenient for others for
her to know
About Uie time 1 made Lll'ie's ac
quaintance her grandmother was tak
en with her last Illness. Lillie loved
the old lady, and her approaching
demise was an niUictiou to the niece.
As for me, I was but twenty-one vears
old and bad years before.m» in which
to do courting, but so impatient was 1
that I grudged tin* old lady what little
time she needed from Lillie. I feared
I would be too old for matrimony be
fore tiie invalid got into her grave aud
ceased to require attention.
Now that 1 look back on this period
I can see that I was very unreasonable.
I would go to the house aud wait a
whole evening lor Lillie while she re
mained upstairs with her grandmother,
hoping every minute that she could
come downstairs for a brief sitting
with me. One evening when I had
waited a couple of hours in this way 1
concluded, considering that the old wo
man was blind aud deaf and her Im
perfect senses must be further dead
ened by illness, to go upstairs to the
sickroom, steal in and see If 1 couldn't
get a word with Lillie.
1 tiptoed up the staircase and to the
door of the room, which fortunately 1
found ajar Lillie was sitting iu a
chair where she t*ould see me. She
came to the door, and I told her that
If she couldn't come to me i was bound
to go to her She went back into the
room, turned the light very low and
beckoned me to enter. There was a
sofa placed where the invalid could
not very well see it 1 stole toward it,
and Lillie and I sat down side by side
with our arms around each other.
We whispered more love than today,
at fifty, 1 could talk In a year, and to
be heard by each other we scarcely
needed to whisper, for when I spoke
my lips touched her coral ear, and
when site spoke her lips were a mil
lionth of an liii-h from mine.
"Who's thereV" came from the in
valid.
L.nne arose, wcui i'j mc uci uku
asked her grandmother if she wanted
anything She replied that she thought
slie heard whispering. Llllie told her
that she must be mistaken, put her
hand on the sick woman's head to
soothe her and toid her she had better
try to get a little sleep.
Whether grandma was satisfied with
this or not she said no more, and Lll
lie. after coddling her awhile, came
back to me. I had been wishing I
could burst the remains of the dru:n
of the old lady's ear with a ramrod,
but when Lillie came back I felt bet
ter. However, we didn't think it pru
dent to do any more whispering and
refrained. I took a pencil from my
pocket and some old letters and wrote
what I had to say — very short sen
tences, in every ore of which the wo,-d
"love" figured cnusDicuously.
Meu, instead of choosing, as is sup
posed, appropriate opportunities for
proposals, are quite likely to choose
the most unfitting. I was unable to
even whisper without being Beard by a
deaf and dying old woman, and yet 1
must needs choose the moment to
make a declaration (on paper) and ask
Lillie to be my wife. She accepted me
(on paper), and 1 sealed our engage
ment with n kiss which was nninton
tioually a smack.
"Ullie!" came from the sickbed.
"What, grandma, dear?"
"Is It rainiii^V"
"No, grandma."
"Oh. I thought I heard something
that sounded like thunder."
