"Tho Sins i.i Ardmoro."
Mr. Flanlken took his text from the
Cth chapter, 7th and 8th verses of
Ephoslans, which read, "As wo sow
bo shall we gathor." For an hour and
a half the good hian 'stood' before his
audlonco and poured hot shot, grapo
and canister which scom'e'do hit somo
of the pcoplo square In the face.
Your reporter will undertake to
quota Mr. Flanlken In our own lan
guage. One man In sin, ho said, could do
mucu harm, 'as was demonstrated by
one person In tho garden of Eden sow
ing one seed of sin, had grown -to
great proportions, and ho cited tho lar
ger cities df tho world where such
sin and vlco woro carried on.
lti speaking of the .sin i ? Ncjmfl-o
a'li' row to bring about i better Stat
of nffalrs hot hought the law should

would enforco tho laws If they wuro
backed up by tho people Let overy
g O'l citizen hold up for mil govarn
mont, condemn the wrong and advo
cate the execution of tho laws, and It
cccd bo go with tho Officer and assist
lilm In enforcing It and tho evil doors
will Boon be a thing of tho past.

time to touch in high placos, ho would
only hit a few of tho goysors and high
peaks.
"Gambling," ho said "you all know
that It Is practlcod right hero In your
city, and a great deal of It" And Mr.
Flanlken proceeded to read from a
law book showing that It was unlaw
fill to gamblo, to rent to a gambler,
for gambling purposes, or to allow
gambling In your house.
Ho first spoke of the slot machines
which aro displayed for patronago in
a great many of our prominent stores.
Said he had seen men, women and
boys and girls bucking tho slot ma
chine Said It was card playing and
It took money to play tlieso cards. Ho

PAYING TELLERS' ERRORS.
Thof Onlctnla Arr Vnunllr ltrndy tn

A bank ofllcer, referring In n recent
address to tho respoimiblllty of paying
tollers, declnrcs that the Idea thatT huvIi
officials wero rarely willing to rectify
mistakes hnd little basis In fact. He
added: "How is it that there exists la
tho minds of many the Idea that pay
ing tellers are inclined to resent even,
tho suggestion that they make errors
in counting money? I have never
known one who made tho slightest
Claim to Infallibility. Who has not
heard the ancient nnd ott told story ot
a teller who was asked by a person for
whom he has cashed a check if lie hail
not mado a mistake? As the narrative
usually runs tho self satisfied money
counter behind tho desk Is inclined to
become Indignant nnd replies In n
pompous and abrupt manner that he
never makes mistakes. Tho consider
ate party then states that the amount
paid him exceeded that named in tho
check, but the teller still maintains
that there can be no error cither wny,
as ho never makes mistakes.
"Where is tho teller who upon being
told ho bnd mado ail error would fall
to politely inquire as to tho nature of
tho samo? The Inference is that tell
ers aro possessed of so much vanity
nnd conceit that they lose the amount
said to bo overpaid rather than ac
knowledge nn error. How unlikely
nnd ridiculous!" Now York Post.

Von Lleblg was skillful in correcting
popular delusions on scientific subjects.
A. notnblo cxumplo of this may be
found la tho overthrow of the once
much dUcussed theory ot "spontane
ous combustion" a comparatively mod
em error, dating, It seems, only from
tho year 1723,. but which persisted long
after I.avolsler had. explained the ruul
nature ot fire, which was from time to
tlmo put forwnrd. with success in the
defense or persons on trial ror murder
nnd received Its last support from
Charles Dickens. His success tn tbW
direction throws a pleasant light on
tho progress ot civilization. Ono woo-

Von Lleblg had ho opposed himself to
Bitch an error In tho sixteenth century
when Kepler could only save bin moth
er from golnn to the stake for witch
craft by satisfying her Judges that mIiu
possessed nono of tho signs essential
to a witch. In those days Kepler did
not dare- to- say that there wero no
such things as witches. W. A. Sbcn
