A young lady attending church on a recent Sunday evening sat directly behind a tall, handsomely dressed stranger with a piece of raveling hanging over his collar, Being one of those generous hearted, whole-souled girls, who grow to be motherly old ladies, friends to everybody in town she thought how glad she would bo if a kind-hearted girl would do so much for her father if ho should come to church with a raveling hanging down his back, so when the audience arose for prayer she concluded to pick it off. Carefully raising her hand she gave a little twitch but there was more of it than she supposed and a fixit or two of it appeared. Setting her teeth she gave anoth er pull and about another yard of that horrid thread hung down his back. This was getting em barrassing, but being determin ed she gave it another yank and discovered that she was unravel ing his undershirt. Her einbar rassment was so painful that chloroform could not alleviate her sufferings, nor an inch of powder hide her blushes when the gentleman turned with an in quiring look to see what was tick ling his neck.
