II is a difficult matter to impress upon the
mind of the rural man of Arkansaw the ne
cessity of paying immediate attention to the
heather. During a camp meeting in Saline
county a preacher from Little Rock made an
eloquent appeal in favor of the poor wretch
who eats harmless missionary instead Of eat
ing hurtful bulk pork. When the preacher
had concluded, an old exhorter arose and
said;
Brethren I've been nightly interested IN
this lectioneern' fur the heathes, an ]
would now like to know something about
him.
Then addressing the minister, who had just
taken iskeat, the exhorter said;

He Did What He Promised and Tried to

There were probably a hundred people in
the old Island House depot in Toledo when
tall, thin man, who might have been 40 years
old and did not look to weigh over ninety
pounds, who had rope harness on him.

~ am going to give an exhibition Of

pet Inc small sum of a dime from each
leoker-on. am going to attempt to raise a
dead weight of two TONS
All the men and quite number of the wo-
men went out, and enough townspeople came
down to make crowd of three hundred. The
thin man passed around through the crowd
and took up "a collection, and he must have
got an average Of ten cents for every one
present. When he had pocketed the money
he approached several large grindstones ly-
ing in a heap and chained together and an
nounced:
Ladies and Gentlemen thank you kind
ly for your contributions. Here is dead
weight of 1000 pounds | shall attempt to
lift it.n
An iron hook in the harness was hooked
into the chain Stacking the grindstones, and
the thin man began to straighten up He was
encouraged and applauded by the crowd, but
the strain he put out would not have raised
fifty pounds. He kept at it three or four
minutes, and then unlocked and backed oft,
and said:
'Ladies and gentlemen, it's no use; I can't
do 1t. have tried and failed.n
"See here-ths looks like a fraud" ex-
claimed man who had Clipped in quarter.

the thin man. "You all saw me try"
