Some timo sinco, tome roguis b boys per
tusded Joseph N , or, as ha was gen
erally called, "Swearing Joe," to attend
Sunday school. Joe was ' duly ushered In,
and placed on a sest In front of the one on
which bis friends were seated. After tbe
teacbor had heard the regular recitations ol
the class, she turned to Joe. "My Iriond,
can you tell me who made the world wbicb
we Inhabit ?" she asked. Just as Joe was
thinking about how he could get out of the
scrape which bis fun-loving friends had got
him Into, one of the beys seated behind
blm Inserted a pin Into Joe's pacts, about
nine inches oelow his waistband. "God
Almighty I" exclaimed Joe springing to bis
feet "That Is cor root," replied tbe teacher
"but you need not rise In answering." Joe
was seated, and she continued: "Who died
to save the world?" Again tbe pin was
inserted, and Joe cried out: "Jesus Christ!'
in a louder tone and again springing to his
feet. "Correct," said the teacher, "but do
not speak so loud. "Can you tell me what
will be tbe floal end of tbe wicked!" Again
tbe pin was inserted, and Joe, losing all
command of his temper, sprang enp roar
ing: "Hell and damnation!" "My friend,
yon have given prompt and corroct answers
to all tbe questions, but should you come
again, I beg that you will be a little more
mild la your mann er, and you may retain
your seat in replying."
