HER BONNET.
Caught Aflre While the Speaker Was
Addressing an Audience.
York Sun: At a mecting of the
oclety for Political Study yesterday
te bonnet worn by the speaker of the
Gay, Mrs, Pelle Gray Taylor, caught
fire fron: a drop-light on the speaker's
desk, and had it not been for the pres-
ence of mind and fleet-footedness cl
Mrs. Almon Hensley would have been
totally destroyed. Mrs, Taylor sald
alterward that there was no insurance
on the bonnet, although there were
several other things, including gold
braid, blue velvet and black ostrich
tips. When the accident happened the
rpeaker was prefacing her talk, which
was cn woman's Intuition, with a few
remarks sbout five-minute papers, she
haying been asked to prepare ome of

{ “Oh! Oh!" “Gracious me!” "Fire!
Fire!” cried feminine voices from ev-
cry part of the room, and the one man
present looked at Mrs. Taylor's flam-
ing headgear helplessly. He sald aft-
erwards that he might have known
what to do if a woman had been in
danger in & burning building, but that
he was absolutely paralyzed at sight
of a burning bonnet. But no ons het-
ter knows the value of a fine bonnet
than Mrs. Hensley, ard before the long
man had recovered sufficiently to open
his mouth she rushed to the platform
and smothered the flames,
“What is it?’ asked the speakor,
calmly, when the danger was passed,
“Your best bonnet on fire,” exclaim
ed many volces,
“Well, for once I've created a sen

Text: “When Jesus therefore had re.

skies of Judma, let a drop of rain strike on
His burning tongae! O world, with rolling
rivers and sparkling lakes and spraying
fountains, give Jesus something to drink!
If there be any pity in earth or heaven or
hell, let it now be demonstrated in behalf
of this royal sufferer.
The wealthy women of Jerusalem used
to have a fund of money with which they
rovided wine for those peopls who died
n eructfixion, a powerful opiate to deaden
the pain, but Christ would not takes it, He
wanted to die sober, and so He refused the
wine. But afterward they go to a cup of
vinegar und soak a sponge in it and put it
on a stiok of hyssop and then press it
against the hot lips of Christ, You say the
wine was an anmsthetic and intended to re.

was an {asule,

George of Eagland forgot all the grandeurs

don, honored all the world over for

she is found dead, with an empty bottle of

It is absurd to suppose that a man who
has aiways been well can sympathize with
those who are sick, or that one who has al. |
ways bean honored can appreciate the sor- |
row of those who are despised, or that one |
who has been born to a gréat fortune can |
understand the distress and the straits of
those who ars destitute. The fact that
Christ Himself took the vinegar makes Him
able to sympathize to-day and forever with |
the sharp acids of this life. He took the
vinegar.

wrote against you. He talked against you, |
