to an old colleague who was sitting be-

A prominent Baltimore physician
tells in the Baltimore Sun the follow
ing anecdote about Sam Jones, the
Georgia evangelist:
When several years ago Mr.. Jones
was at Emory Grove camp, the news
paper reports of his ermons caused
him to complain.
At the last service he looked down
at the reporters, who sat at a table
just in front of the pulpit, and said:
And l want to tell you fellows that
l like you a lot in spite of your mani
fold faults. You boys don't treat me
right, though. You take my sermons
and pick out a piece here, a piece there
and a piece somewhere else. Then
you string the pieces together, and,
naturally, they read funny.
Nov, suppose l reported the Bible
that way! A man asks me what the
Bible tells him to do. l read in one
place, And Judas went out and hanged

thou and do likewise And in another

Movable Drops In Diamonds.

1t has long been known that dia-
monds. especially the class known as
"rose diamonds" are likely to explode
If subjected only to what would seem a
very ordinary degree of heat. such as
strong rays from the sun. etc. 1t Is
now believed that the explosions are
the result of the rapid expansion Of
certain volatile liquids inclosed in cavi-
ties near the center of these precious
stones. A great many diamonds, even
though cut, mounted and worn as gems
Of perfection. are still in an unfinished
condition-that is, the liquid drop from
which the stone is being formed has
not as yet deposited all of it's pure
crystals of carbon These movable
drops may occasionally be seen with
the naked eye.
When this is the case, a strong mi
croscope will give the drop the appear
n of a bubble in the fluid of a car
penter's level. 1t is also highly prob
able that besides the liquid mentioned
these cavities may contain gases under
great tension. This being the case,
one may readily comprehend how q
very small amount of heat would
cause the liquid and gas to expand to
such a degree that the diamond would
give way with all the characteristics
of a miniature explosion.

Ancestry of ~ShOemAkinE.

I There is nothing vulgar about the
ancestry Of the shoemaking trade in
the United States. The first shoemak-
er came ove in the Mayfower. His
name was Thomas Beard. and he had
an income from the London company
Of 500 a year and received fifty acres
of land on which to settle. Seven
years later the city Of Lynn was
founded, and yer since it has been
making shoes for the world. Philip
Kertland, a native of Buckingham
shire, was the first shoemaker of the
city of Lynn. In George Washington's
day Lynn had 200 master workmen
and 600 journeymen !shoemakers, turn
ing out every year no less than 100000
pairs of fine shoes.

THEY GOT FREE SEATS.
An Order That Was Promptly Hon.
Ored At the Box Office.

Once when Nat Goodwin was play.
ing in Chicago two men approached
his manager, who was standing in the
lobby of the theater, and introduced
themselves as a couple of actors. Their
names were entirely unknown to him,
and they had nothing to show that
they were what they claimed to be.
Accordingly he refused to give them
seats, but they were persistent. One
Of the men in particular was offensive
~ so. He shook his fist under the
managers nose End demanded who it
was that dared refuse him passes.
"Ill see Mr.. Goodwin" he declared.
"Ill see If a little whipper snapper
like you can refuse Inc seats. You don't
know who we are. Ell? Well, who are
you? Let's see your card. I'll see Mr..
Goodwin about it."
The manager, who feared Il scene,
handed over one of his cards and told
the men he was responsible and quite
willing to take the consequences of re-
fusing to give them seats.
A few minutes later the two men
came back to the theater. One of them
had written pass two on the man
ayers card. He presented the card at
the box office, and it was promptly
honored. Then they went in,
When, half an hour later. the man
ayers attention was called to what
had been done, he was at first inclined
to take some severe action, but later
he saw the joke On himself.
"Let them alone,' he said. "If they've
got nerve enough to do that, they are
entitled to seats. You had better send
an usher down and ask them if they
wouldn't like a box."-Chicago Trib-
une.

PURE SUNLIGHT AND AIR.
Places Here Which Shame h Old
Worlds Favored Chimes.

WORLDS Cilmes'
We have often heard of Sunny TIA
~" or the "clear light" of Egypt, says
the Desert; but, believe me, there Is no
sunlight there compared with that
which falls upon the upper peaks Of
the Sierra Madre or the uninhabitable
wastes of the Colorado desert.
Pure sunlight requires for it's ex-
istence pure air, and the old world has
little of it left. When you are in
Rome again and stand upon that hill
where all good Ronanists go at sun
set. look out and see how dense is the
atmosphere between you and st. Pc
ter's dome. That same thick air is all
over Europe. all around the Mediter-
rancan, even over in Mesopotamia and
by the banks of the Gauges. 1t has
been breathed and burned and battle
smoked for 10000 years.
Ride up and over the high tablelands
of M~ontana-one can still ride there
for days without seeing a trace of hu
m%anity-and how clear and sccntless,
how absolutely intangible, that sky
blown. sunshot atmosphere. You
breathe 1t without feeling it, you see
through it Il hundred miles, and the
picture is not blurred by it: Once
more ride over the enchanted mesas Of
Arizona at sunrise or sunset, with the
ragged mountains of Mexico to the
south of you and the broken spurs Of
the great Sierra around about you. and
all the glory of the old shall be as
burning crimson of this new world.

n BALKY HORSE.
A Little Trick That, 1t Is Said, Will
Start Him Every Time.

Sthrt HIN AVeFy 1Iuhes
For the benefit of those who have
been caused a great deal of anxiety by
a balky horse, lost trains as we'll as
tempers and sometimes ven ruined
the horse, the next time they have the
experience to run across a balky horse,
no matter how bad he is, let me tell
you how to start him ninety-nine times
out of a hundred.
OF course it may fail one time in u
hundred. When a horse balks. no mat
ter how badly he sulks or how ugly he
is, do not beat him. Don't throw sand
in his ears, don't use a rope on his
fore legs or even burn straw under
him. Quietly 90 and pat him on the
head a moment. Take a hammer or
ven pick up a stone in the street.
tell the driver to sit still, take his lines.
hold them quietly while you lift up
either front foot, give each nail a light
tap and a good smart tap OF the frog,
drop the foot quickly and then chirp
to him to 60. In ninety-nine cases out
Of a hundred the horse will 90 right on
about his business, but the driver
must keep his lines taut and not pull
o. Jerk him back.
Il I have tried this once, l have tried
It 800 times, and every time l have
suggested 1t people have laughed and
even bet IS and bottles Of wine that I
could not do 1t. So far I have won ev-
cry bet. This may make you smile, but
q horse has more common sense than

return in the same way back to the

The act has been quite voluntary, but
one thing I have noticed-they invaria-
bly, sat up to see II they had time to
cross before any surprise came. For
instance. the movements of a person
walking along a footpath In the dis
lance would be watched with some
anxiety before the plunge was made.
I have also seen snakes swim across
streams in the same way, apparently
