"What's become of Parson Jenks, who came here to preach" asked a friend of a Dakota man. " Well, you see, he rnado a sort of break, and we just firmly passed him along to some other community," We didn't like his style somehow." "Why I am surprised at that; he was considered a very able and earnest worker down in our country,'-' " Don't know anything' about that but wo found it,necessary to help him out of the neighborhood on a rail I"

' " I am astonished I You did a great injustice to a worthy man, I am certain. What were the charges against liini?"

I( Why, in his sermon on Sunday he got going on about the. Holy Land, and said they,could 'rise Bigger, wheat over there than wo could in Dakota, find then went-on to quote something that I dou't believe ever was in the Bible, about the soed falling in some particular kind of silo and increased a hundred fold. Just as he said it I and Deacon Penny rose lightly up and went out aud got a rail, and Deacon Jones and the members of the Choir brought the Rov. gentleman' out; and set him on it. I tell you no man can preach to us who goes to reflecting on Dakota's wheat raising! Estelline 801 -
