She listened with fear and trembling a i the preacher portrayed the terrors of the end of the world, already near at hand, the coming of the Lord in a i chariot of fire, its wheels rimmed with t le storm-cloiid and spoked with light 'liing. Hut IVIr. Baucom didn't flinch. He sat stolidly through the preaching arid listened to the "powerful" exhor tations, but did uot appear to1 be in the least moved by them. I Mrs. Baucom was almost in despair. She had dragged her unresponsive half out to all the meetings and ? had, talked earnestly with him at home, but to ' no purpose. One Saturday, ""c iuc c.wjicuiriu vtl til us lieigui, a heavy snow fell, covering the ground iw uuu.Mieiauitj ut-piu. ue next niorn ing the preaocher took occasion to allude to , the white covering upon the earth, and warned his hear-i ers that thev would never see the efreeii . - I " s earth again, fdr the end of all things would come before the return of spring.

After the worthy couple had retired, that night. Mrs.- Baucom could; not sleep. To her excited imagination ev ery sound was the beginning of that universal crash by which the end of all things would be heralded. Sud denly a heavy mass xf snow, loosened by the warmth of the preceding- day, slid from the roof of .the barn near by with thunderous roar. This was too much for nervous Mrs. Baucom. Start ing up in bed, with a scream j she shook her slumbering lord vigorously, exclaiming, "Wake Dan'l! Wake (up, you pore loht sinner!

Nothing could be heard save the protesting voice of the lttle brindle calf, whose unprepared jsjate had served Mrs. Baucom as an frus tration.

One day he took the pretty little daughter of one of his guests on his knee and asked her to kiss him. The child looked at him critically, be ginning at the lower extremity of his long beard and finishing at the shining expanse above his forehead. Then she said thoughtfully: "Yes, I'd like to, Mr. Fledgeman, but I don't where to kiss. Your head is on upside down."
