Ell Perkins' Way.
Ell Porklns does not produce laugh-
tor by tolling anecdotes. He perpetrates
his jokes directly on the audience. The
audionce do not go homo and toll how
the speaker re-hashed Charles Lamb's
and Sydney Smith's old jokes, nor how
he described Thackeray or Tom Hood's
humor, but they tell how the jokes of
the speaker absolutely happened they
and Ell both being parties to them
bow be surprised them wltb antithesis,
paradox, anti-climax, and extravagant
statements, and kept them listening and
laughing from the beginning to the end.
Now satire, with its hidden meaning,
which the listener must discover then
the most absurd situations, strange
combinations of words, and underneath
all a fund of wisdom and sound sense.

Railroaders Discharged.
One of the principal things the A. V.
Railway requires of its workmen is so
briety, and twenty employes wbo drank
of the flowing bowls lost their situations
on this account during the holidays. If
there is one thing railroad men should
possess it is this virtue for with them
it amounts to that for they have not
only their own lives in their bands but
lives of others and the care of thousands
of dollar worth of property. The man
who befuddles his brain with whisky is
not a fit person to assume the responsibil
ity a railroad man ia called on to take,
and the company recognizes this as well
as anyone, and all right-thinking people
will commend superintendent C. B.
Price for this action. East Brady Re

Schlverea Meetings.
The Schlvcroa meetings opened on
Thursday night last. Mr. Schlverea's
welcome was not a very cordial one, as
he camo In on an earlier train than had
been anticipated. He has been wel
comed since, however, by large crowds.
Mr. Schlverea gave four addresses on
Sunday: One to the union meeting of
Baptist and Presbyterian churches at
11.00 A. M., a sermon to men only at 3.00
P. M. and two talks in the evening. The
mass meeting was one of remarkable
solemnity and earnestness. Mr. Schl
verea's address was tremendous In
power and strong in plain Anglo-Saxon.
At the close of the meeting a large
number stayed to the Inquiry meeting
and many professed Christ. Sunday
evening another packed house, another
forcible address and another after
meeting In which many sought power
for a better life. Tho day will be long
remomltered In Reynoldsvllle.
In spite of the miserable weather the
hall was filled on Monday night and
several decided for tho Savior In an
Inquiry meeting of power.
Mr. Schlverea preaches twice each
day: at the Baptist church at 3.00 P. M.
a Bible sermon, at 7.30 P. M. in the hall.
A rousing address each night. A choir
of 75 voices Is leading the singing.
Every morning at the church a prayer
meeting Is hold at 0.30. These are
times of spiritual refreshing.
Special announcements are as follows:
Mr. Schlverea will meet those who
have already decided for Christ and
any who are anxious for light In this
matter at the Baptist church at 7.00
o'clock this, Wednesday, evening. A
special meeting for worklngmen and
their families will be held in the ball
Saturday night to consider the question
of "Work and Wages." Worklngmen
and tholr families especially welcome.
Another men's meeting will bo held
Sunday afternoon, at which Mr. Schl
verea will speak on "Munhood." The
doors ot the hull do not open until 7:20
each evening, In order that all may
have an equal chance to secure a sent.
Remember these meetings continue
every day and night this week.
