lie was one of the perpetual con-
verts to religion that are so common
in some pat wry districts. Whenever
it minister wished to hold a revival
meeting in his T.urch he was always
certain of obtaining one reliable con-
vert, old .Ted. who’d “got religion” so
often his friends had lost count of the
lines. Ills custom was to be “convert-
ed” nt every convenient revival meeting
in proper season, and slide backward
every summer in order to have his sys-
tem thoroughly prepared for the next
season of revivals.
Not long ago the pastor of a coun-
try church netir Jed's home was bap-
tizing in the river a number of con-
verts, among them Jed, who was the
first to he led into the water.
As .Ted was dragged bodily up from
the river after the ceremony he was
seen to be almost in a state of collapse,
and was taken to the bank with some
difficulty, where lie reclined limply aS

“Glory" of Old Sailing Days. '
Looking forward to a revival of
American shipping uuih r now condi-
tions, one can cheerfully enough accept
the opinion of a veteran seaman, talk-
ing to a young reporter, that the
“glory” of the old sailing days Is much
overrated. The billowing canvas was
impressive; but the facts of the ease,
confides this mariner, are that the
sailors had to live in quarters that
were badly ventilated, if ventllathd at
nil, badly lighted and cramped almost
beyond endurance. A steady diet «f
hardtack and “salt horse” mitigated
the glory of the sen, while chanteys,
although they helped things along,
were often compulsory, and little joy
to the sailor man who was singing to
order,—Christian Science Monitor.

In Bsd Shape.
Often nt Inspections it is customary
for officers to pass by the sergeants,
merely giving their equipment a cas-
ual glance, assuming, no doubt, that
as they-are more experienced soldiers
than the privates, their equipment is
in proper condition. As a result of
this it sometimes happens that the
sergeants allow their ritles to get in
rather poor shape. That some offi-
cers are alive lo this is shown by a
young second lieutenant, who, after
examining a particularly dirty rifl",
handed it back to the luckless private,
vcmarking- disgustedly: “Your rifle
is dirty enough'to be a sergeant's.”
