Just before the holidays a well known man

the proptieior of which he was well ae

the box in which they were packed with
a lot uf exc 'Wor, and tied two exquisite
bows around the Ion -stemmed necks.

And Mrs. lij.tli replied:
"Hod sent tlicm."
"lias he o it any more? ' (lie wee lassie

"Oh, yis."
Theodora ptve a satisfied little gruut
and said: "Then, mamma, when I e,row

A Shaipsburg man who has been
drinking too much litpior for his own
guoil was induced to sign the pledge the

"Huw is this?" asked a Incnd. "Vou
signed the pie Ige yesterday and no. you
are nuzzling whisky again!"
"It's all right," replied the pledge sign

Hubert G.irdhire is a negro and au
uneducated one, but when it conies to
figures he can't be stopped by any
mathematician in the world, lie is an
humble resident of Au;usta, ami is cm
loyed as a laborer at the Interstate Cot
ton Oil Company. In multiplication
(iar lliire is asipiiek as though1. Holme
he avcta.-e person can sot the figures
lowu with a pencil G ildhire has given
the correct answer and yet he cinnoi ay
how he does it
He was a.kcl what wasthcMiiu total
of 111) time liT and without repeating
the ligues .0 himself. Gardhire answered
uff lund l! tijl! " "How ru'ich " n-kml
someone, "is .Vll times 32?" With
out stoppiug a sec in 1 U irdliiro replied
'1 i!,UH2." And thus for over half an
hour num hers were throw u at him and
he nave the correct multiplication like a
fi.ish. In the multiplication of fractions
the man is equally proficient, and there
seems no limit lu his powers, which are
almost occult.
Gardbire cannot remember when ho
first became aware uf his power, and does
not even kt iw h w he discovered it.
He says that when the fgures arc
given him he sees their answer itn me
diately Simply by g'ancinu at a long
line of figures he can tell immediately
what tbe addition is.

The preacher was making clear the
thought thai wherever a man's home
might be his s iritiial birthplace was iu

"Let us go lud" city iili Chariest, 11, an',

ask de brethren dere: Whar war yer

The preacher pa-scd on from city to

pressed their excitement by swaying back
and fort h, until hr reached Greenland and
the Christians "libbiu' in flat benighted

An' now, brederen," he continued, "let
us go to de north pole, tin', twinin' our
legs round de pole, let us lilt up our voicea
an' cry: 'Whar war yer born?' An' de
Christians dere will shout back: Wc'so
born in Zion.' "
The visiling committee, who had
thought the preacher had reached the
end of his journey, were astonished.
For the preacher, after a physical, not
a rhetorical, pause his wind had given
out shouted: "Brederen, let us go on
