from hurricane to dead aim is not more
radical. But it is not all tragedy and
olood-red co.oring. Startling CO trasts
prevail everywhere, bit the audience
mixes Irresistible l4ugher with copious
tears. Listen 70 him as le denounces rum:
There has cen a harvst of sin in this
country, enough to make be devil himself
hide his black face undo his wing and
weep Sow saloons and distilIeries and
brewerieS, and you will rep an intelligent
and sober people"
A wave Of surprise is srging over the
congregation at this staggering proposition.
IL IS suddenly arrested as Mr.. Jones ex-
claims:
That's one lie, isn't It'll"
lie has been arguing thata drunkard is
good Tor absolutely nothing. Suddenly he
pulls himself uD with a rolnd turn. and
With a remorseful expresSiu, begs the
drunkard's pardon:
There is one thing a drurkard is good
Tor, he cries, land that is to 20 TO tue leg
lslature of the state Of New York and to

"You red-nosed fellows, do YOU want t,
go to heaven. What would Won do in
heaven with such a nosel Yot would be
going around among the good sisters for
whitening every morning to whten it!
IF there is any high license man here
trot him out. Let him get up On his hind
legs, and promise you the mex time he
hits the ground he will be going It the rate
of mile a minute.
Give me the devil for presidentwith his
miniOns as cabinet officers and no whisky.
W lthout whisky they would have 10 resign
and go back to hell.
las long as we have whisky wewill run
the devil out of the country, like 6 dog

Some of you don't like to DO talked to
so plainly, some of you little fellows. Why
fly could stand on your nose a d paw YOU
IN one eye and kick you in the other. You
beg to differ with God Almighty, do you!
WY you can see through such little
thing as a keyhole with both eyes at once
and not be cross-eyed at that!
Round dancing is nothing under God
Almighty's Heaven but hugging set to
music. The dancing business is based on
the sexes. There amt a boy in America
who would go across the street to dance a

II would rather be Sam Jones than Ben
Harrison; my job cutlasts his. When they

II never heard a person, living or dead,
that could pray like my grandmot her.
She could make the angels come down
quicker and stay longer than anybody l
ever knew
1t is a pity to be Obliged to part company
with Sam Jones upon 50 briet an introduce
ton. lie has q good deal to say about him
self, and yet does not seem to cross the
borders of good taste. For man who
talks much he says little that Is
wearisome. Without being positively
theatrical he utilities his arms,
pushes his fingers through his hair and ma
nipulates his voice so that tho most striking
effects can be secured. 1t is not an exagge-
ration to say that the pulpit has no more
characteristic, original aud interesting
figure. Like one Of the springs at Round
lake, he never runs dry.
