A STATE HOUSE EPISODE.
More Than Three Quarters of Gen.
~tury Looked Down on Garvin.

An old man sat in the coat room OF the
House of Representatives on one of the
busy days this week, and il there had
been as much interest in him as he appar-
emily took in the legislative proceedings,
the House would have adjourned and
spent the rest of the time in asking him
questions about himself. On the con-
trary no one seemed to even realize
his presence. He sat Just in
side the door where he could
look in on one side of the chamber, and
with his hand to his ear watched and lis
tened through the entire session. He
must have been eighty years old, his hair
was snow white, face and hands wrinkled,
as only the face and hands of men eighty
years old ever are wrinkled, and he wore a
suit of clothes made in way that might
have been modern half a century ago.
Perhaps he was Representative himself
half century ago, and everyone but his
own grandchildren have forgotten it. At
any rate, no one present knew him
and when the House adjourned he limped
back to the street, stopping on his way
out only long enough to put on pair of
spectacles and read the sign Judiciary
Committee" on the left hand door.

Sam jones. Latest.

An amusing incident occurred at
the close OF Sam Jones' sermon at
Pulaski the other day. Stepping
down from the pulpit, folding his
hands across his breast and looking
solcmnly over the audience, the great
r~evivalist said:
Il want all the women in this
crowd who have not spoken u harsh
word or harbored an unkind thought
toward their husbands for a month
past to stand up.7
One old woman, apparently on the
shady side Of sixty, stood up.
Come forward and give me your
hand said the preacher.
The woman did SO. whereupon
Jones said:
Now turn around and let this au.
dience sec the best looking woman in
the country
After taking her seat, the revivalist
addressed the men:
"Now l want all the men in this
crowd who have not spoken a harsh
word or harhored an unkind thought
toward their wives for n month past
to stand up"
Twenty.seven great big strapping
fellows hoped out of the audience
with all the alacrity Of champagne
corks.
"Comc forward and give me your
hands, my dear boys"
Jones gave each one a vigorous
shake. after which he ranged all OF
them side by side in front Of the pull.
pit and facing the audience. He
looked them over carefully and SOL
cnlnly. and then, turning around to the
audience, he said:
