SAM JONES, REYIYALIST,
He Tells Ofthe Thousands of Converts
HAS Made in Religion.

Rev. Sam Jones, the noted revival
list, is IN st. Louis. The evangelist is
a dark complexioned man 40 years OF
age. His dark hair is brushed straight
back from very striking forehead,
and through the close mass are seen
sprinkled a few grey hairs, A dark
somewhat stiff mustache does not add
much to the expression Of his restless
mouth that moves beneath. He has
| q great amount of nervous emery and
force, which makes itself apparent IN
| the constant movement of his hands
and the play of his dark eye. In con,
versation he is slow and has the reg
ular Yankee deliberation of utterance.
In this respect heis radically different
from the boy preacher, Harrison,
whose tongue was on one continuous
rattle till he had finished his sentence,
whether ne is in the pulpit Or in pri-
vate.
"How many converts have you
made?" was asked.
Between 5000 and 10000 this
year"
"How many of them remain stead
fast?"
According to the investigation of
those who have watched the results OF
my labors after my departure ninety
five per cent. remain true to their pro
fessiens"
"Of what classes were your converts
principally?"
" EAery body = lawyers, doctors,
mayors, councilmen, merchants,
judges, every body. I tell you, when
the willipus wallapus zone Of those
big rollers to crush rocks of Christian
ity passes over humanity it levels all
things off,"
"Where have been your most i'm
portant fields?"
Nashville, Tenn, where I was last
spring; Memphis, year ago; Charles
ton, last spring; Brooklyn, with DR..
Talmage, last January, and Waco,
Texas
"How are you impressed with st.
LOUISE"
''This is my first visit here. but ]
can say I am favorably impressed. I
haven't seen a drunkeL man or heard
an oath since I've been here"
DR.. LEWISTON don't mean to say
you don't think there are such per-
sons here?"
''No, but like to see city decent
enough to keep them out Of sight. II
is best to keep your dead dogs in the
back yard"
Mr.. Jones conversation revealed
him to be quick of repartee, and by
the quiet talk, one can see why be
makes his audiences bubble over with
mirth. His set jaw, however. shows
that he can talk business when it is
necessary.

THE SCRAP BOOK CURE,
How Boys Who Read Dime Novels
Can be Cured of Their Bad Taste.
Boston Herald

A trustee of the Providence Public
Library has undertaken to cure the
small boy of his interest in the dime
novel, and can be said to have sue
ceeded. He has met the antecedent
with it's consequent. He has gather
ed into scrap book the adventures OF
the boys who read dime novels, and
has made it his business in a quiet
way to ask the boys one by one who
are interested in these stories to spend
an hour sr two in reading, not the
imaginative story but the way in
which the small boy has attempted
to realize how small boys ought to
live and what they ought to d. to be
allowed to do. It is said that the
dime novel boy usually reads the
scrap~book, which is rapidly increas>
ing ia size as the fresh exploits Of the
dime novel adventures are added to
it, about two hours. He then laws it
down IN disgust, and nothing can in,
duce him to return to these stories
again. He asks the person in charge
Of the reading for better class
of books.
This cure of a disease with its own
poison has been so effective In Proyi-
| dence that the trustee in question is
thinking of taking out a patent for
the process lest other liz raries and the
heads Of families and the guardians
of the small boy generally may ap~
proprlate his invention without due
credit. The scrap book alluded to
is called The Dime Novel Illustrat
ed, and it is suggested to this gentle
man before he goes much further
that he should put his scrap book to
press, secure his copyright at home
and abroad, and stand up for honors
as the only man in the world who
has SO far succeeded in outwitting the
average American boy by giving him
sufficient antidote to the evil which,
In the form of devilish literature, he
is anxious to take into his mind and
heart, to make him abandon these
stories in disgust.
He is the first among moderns to
give point to the old saying, "Look
on this picture and then on that, :"
and it is the other picture that is pow
erful enough to wind up the dlInq
novel business. These are the days
OF realism in literature, and this man
going further than Mr.. Howells or
even M. lola, has substituted the
paste-pot and scissors for the magma
ton, gathers his horrors and TRACE
dies from actual life, in the firm be-
lief that if truth is not stranger than
fiction, it has wonderful power at
the right moment over an awakened
mind.

a LESSON IN TENNIS.

They played at tennis that summer day
Where was it? Oh call it Mount Desert
The place matters not; will simply say
They were playing tennis that summer day,
And she wore short and striped skirt
He played but iII-'twas his first essay
And she his partner and coach was both;
Though perhaps not up in the points OF play,
Yet she knew the game in a general way
And 10 give him points seemed nothing 10th.
He did his best, but his best was poor;
The balls served to him on his side Staid;
And thus it went on for roEnd or more,
TIL, anxious he yGntured TO ask the score.
The score? Why, it is Ihirty--LoVe," she
said.
And love? What is love? he fam would know
Yet blushed to ask it, for he could sea
What pardonable ignorance he must show;
But she calmly answered him, speaking slow,
'Why, Love is nothing, you know, said She
The sun of that summer day is set;
That season is gone, as seasons go:
But his heart was caught in that TEAMS net
Ard they might have been playing partners yet
Had she not given her answer, NO.
He plays no tennis at all this year,
But he mopes, and means, and sighs--heigho!
That fate is so hard and life is 50 drear
And worse than all else he remembers clear
That Love is nothing She told him so.
C. Z. Coburn, in The Century.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1885-08-13

When things runs smoothly, and my mental sky
is clear of clouds and there's no cause fol
signs,
That is, when all is lovely and serene, then
Philosephize.
But when the little ills Of life appear,
To poster, worry, and pile care on care,
When mere existence is sand -papered as it were
Why, then swear.
When on the right side is my bank account,
And great good luck my efforts seems to crown
Then upward toward the sky my spirits mount
own the town.
But when miSfortunes seem to let
Up on me, and each move appears blunder,
And life seems one ''demnition grind get
AS mad as thunder.
IT'S so with most; we all can smile at strife,
At cares and trials from which we are free,
And calmly reason DER the ills Of life
We never see.
But when the clouds obscure our daily skies,
And evil from Pandora S box fly thick,
Instead of stopping 10 philosopher,
We mostly kick

4 Professor OF Hard Work.
Albany Journal,

The successful journalist OF to day
is the man who can supply any de-
partment Of his paper were he called
upon to do it. This may CRATE upon
the ears of the young man who he's
cherished such noble ideas of his chos-
Ell profession; but when he comes
down from the realms OF fancy TO
name successful men whose steps he
would like TO follow he finds it fact
There is no call for young men, col
lege bred or other wise, in the editorial
room, and a diploma from a Germaa
university can not create q demand.
Journalism is z school, and it has it's
primary department, as do ali other
professions or occupations whose goal
is a lofty one. The young man who
would make name in the profession
and yet expects to begin and finish
writing editorials has distorted view
of the work before him. it's no long
CT necessary, however desirable, to
have worked ZIP from the case" but
the idea of the head of a paper who
could not write local" correct a
''pro0f," edit rural correspondence,
and regulate affairs in any emergency
in the composing-roon may be com
prebensible to the graduate, but it is
ridiculous to the practical journalist.
The only place to master these details
is in the Office.
But there is one subject paramount
in which the journalist must be equip
ped, and that is a knowledge of Am
erican politics. It needs no argument
to show that the field for such training
is not abroad: It is at home. 1t is IN
the passing through successive cana
paisns, each one furnishing the close
