HARRY WAS FOXY
He Swore Off But it Don't Count Until He Went to Bed
He had a load that many a man would have given his right arm for. It was a
beauty and he was carrying it like a veteran. He came down West Main
street, and as he passed the Powers Hotel a young man who was
standing in the doorway stepped out and touched him on the arm. He halted
carefully and looked around. "Lo Jim, thash you!" he said
after a moment's deep thought.
"It's me, Harry, and I'm surprised to see
you like this."
"Sall ri', Jimsey, m' boy. 'Sall
ri', Can't keepsh shober all the timsh."
"I ain't kicking on a man getting a jag once
in a while," said Jim deprecatingly, "but I heard you and Tom
BLACK swear off together the other night and both of you promised by all
that was good and great that when you got up the next morning you would
stop drinking for six months. Here it is only three days and you are full
as a boiled owl."
"'Sall 'ri Jimsey m' boy," replied
Harry as he took another brace and started off towards the canal"
"'Sall 'ri. When I swearsh off I swearsh off and keep it. But thish 'sall
'ri, I haint been to bed yet."
And Jimsey saw the point.

SUCCESSFUL PASTORATE
Rev. J. E. MASON concluded last Sunday evening, the first year of his
pastorate of Zion Church, on Favor street. It has been a year of growth
and progress for the church. The congregation has doubled and the
attendance at the prayer-meetings has greatly increased. The total
receipts of the church have been a little over $1,500. Of this amount $800
has been paid to the pastor for his salary, and $700 has been used in
extinguishing old indebtedness. It has been a most successful pastorate in
every way and the congregation showed its sense of that fact by
unanimously voting last Sunday night to request the Genesee Conference of
African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, which meets in Elmira to-morrow,
to continue Mr. MASON in his present charge. The church has so grown under
its present pastor that a new building has become an absolute necessity.

MACK birds were liberated at 10:10 o'clock, but did not arrive until
within a few minutes of 12 o'clock. Fourteen of the MACK birds were
flown, three each of VOGEL's and TOBIN's, and two of VASEY's. In a match
of fifty miles' flight on Thursday last, the MACK birds were the victors,
making an average of 1,440 yards a minute from Pike.
