Roushey that he once remarked that J he did not understand how it was that so many ~* rr people knew him whom he did not know, unless it was because he started the tunes in church. Mr. Roushey was a much respected citizen through a long life spent in Dallas, but like most of us, he had peculiarities which it is difficult to disassociate from his memory. : He was a privileged character in his church, and felt it his duty to interrupt the minister at any time, from his seat, if he thought any misstatement Answers: 1.

AROUND HERE = IS ihe” Of course the sermon and the text must be de- livered without notes, lest someone might question the genuineness of the “call to preach,” and as a result there were some “bad breaks.” The text probably intended to be used was “The ways of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord,” and to this text he stuck. Faithfully, for a long hour, he chased it up ’ and down and ran it into all kinds of human ex- perience, and pictured the horror and abomination of the Lord over the prayers of the wicked. How wicked it was for the wicked to pray. To those who happened to be awake during the long har- angue, among them Mr. Linskill, of course, it was all very ludicrous. At last, after a great deal of difficulty in mak- ing human affairs dove-tail with his text, the preach- ' er sat down.

WANTED AN AMERICAN EAGLE A story is told of A. L. Warring, who for a short time about 1849 to 1851 kept the hotel at Dallas. Among his most liberal patrons were Charles Bennett, a Wilkes-Barre lawyer, and Henry Han- cock, a Dallas merchant. They were in the habit of stopping there on their way up or down on numerous fishing an dother occasions. They were gs : both famed for the fun that they were able to ex» .~ Shon SE De aur YOURE COMIN' WITH ME; IN THE" MEANTIME, THE" tract at almost any time from the most trifling in- < { ?
