The “raiding parson” went to church,
carrying a revolver and a shotgun.
“Now," he said, “I am going to
preach this sermon Into you, or I am
going to shoot it into you. You can
take your choice.” He preached the

SEEKS ONLY BACHELOR HERO
Girl Accidentally Locked in Bakery j
Refused to Be Rescued by
Married Fireman.
Chicago.—Miss Dorothy Lehman, ac
cidentally imprisoned in a Chicago
bakery where she was employed, re
fused to be rescued by married fire
m*en. The young worker picked an un
wedded hero to save her.
Miss Lehman was the last to leave
the plant after completing the day’s
work. When she tried to open the
door she found it was locked—in fact,
all exits were locked. After an hour’s
imprisonment, she succeeded in at
tracting attention by tapping on the
window. Police were unable to re
lease her, so they summoned the fire
men. The plan was to hoist a ladder
to a second-story window. It devolved
upon some stalwart fireman to go up
and carry her down.
There was a rush of firemen for the
Job. Much argument followed be
tween the married and single mem
bers of the company. The choice was
left to Miss Lehman.
"Send up a bachelor,” she said. And
• bachelor rescued her.
