An evangelist from the far East made
tour OF Texas recently for the purpose
of saving some Of the desperate denizens
Of the Lone Star State. He opened his
Grst meeting in what IL known in the
State as "tough town." About thirty
hard-looking male citizens comprised
the audience. After the good man had
discoursod little and sung several re-
vival hymns, he requested that collec-
ton be taken up, to carry MIN further
into the State. A tall and fer co look
ing Texan, armed to the nape Of his
neck, passed bis sombrero around, with
the significant remark
"GivO literally, boys ; you've seen
tho show, and We amt theymen to beat
any showhan."
The result was that every man con-
tributed something, and when the hat
was passed up TO tho evangelist no ex-
amined tho contents and then rcmark-
ed
"I Gud in this hat skl5 and two
over-coat buttons"
"That amt squar' deal, yelled the
ferce-looking man who had taken up
