SAM JONES TELLS OF DANIEL.
What the Prophet Said When Thrown
Into the Lions Zen.

The story is told ON the Rev, Sam
Jones, the celebrated Georgia evan
gelist, that when he had finished his
initiation he was called upon tor a
spe ech
He arose very deliberately, straight
ened himself, cast a reproachful glance
over me assemblage, and setting HIS
jaws firmly, began TO address them
After a few general remarks on the
beautiful tenets OF the great order OF
which he had been made member, he
proceeded to tell a story, suggested by
his recent experiences, He said;
When old Daniel refused to comply
with the demands of his enemies. they
began TO threaten him with dire pun
ishmeut Look a. here, old teller, if
you don't obey the orders of the King
We'll fling you into the lions den, they
said; but they couldn't scare Daniel.
He realized that he had to choose be,
tween going 10 hell if he didn't do
right, and being flung into lions den
if he did He was in pretty bad pre-
dicament, can tell you, but he didn't
hesitate long He told them that he
was going to do just as he had been do
ing, and he didn't care cent whether
their old king liked it or not. So they
yanked old Daniel up and they took
him to the lions den, and they pitched
him into it heels over head, ana they
said: Now, old Teller. we've settled
with you.
But Daniel was not dismayed, and
soon made himself at home among the
lions He gave them to understand
that he was some lion himself. The
lions finished gnawing their bones, and
began to stretch themselves out for a
nap. The old he-lion lay down in nice
clean place, and looked at Daniel as
much as to say: Here, Daniel, you
come lie down here, and put your head

New York Trihune-As the sultan

leaving Australia, it may be well to
draw attention to the fact that he can
not be sued or prosecuted In any Amer.

which he will be just as much exempt
while in this country as any of the
foreign ambassadors at Washington.
Attention has been called to this pre-,
rogative enjoyed by foreign sovereigns

ure OF a suit brought by n Melbourne
artist against the sultan for payment
for an illuminated pedigree Of one Of
the sultan's race horses, which he had
been commissioned to paint The
Australian courts informed the I'M
fortunate artist that they could do
nothing for him, since foreign
ruler, even when on British soil, could
not be sued in British courts, and
added that they could suggest no legal
course by which he could recover the
money due him. The failure Of this
suit serves to recall the fact that the
sultan's father had breach Of promise
proceedings brought against him
while staying in England, in the Eng
lish courts In this instance matters
were complicated by the fact that the
old sultan, who was light com.
pleXioned, had wooed and won the fair
plaintiff, not as sultan, but under the
name of ALBERT Baker" Indeed. It
was not until the matter was brought
into court that the identity OF the sui
tan Of Johore was made known. As
soon as this was established the case
was thrown out of court on the ground
that British courts had no Jurisdiction
over a foreign sovereign. no matter
whether he was living incognito as a
private citizen, or under his own name
and title, surrounded by royal pomp.
There was scandal about the matter.
and the British government intimated
to the sultan that II would be well for
him to return TO his dominions which
he was about to do when he died.

THE SEXUAL DIFFERENCE,

The first and most patent fact in the
family is the difference in the sexes,
Out of this difference the family is
created; in this difference the family
finds its sweet and sacred bond. This
difference is not merely physical and
incidental. 1t is also psychical and
essential. 1t inheres in the tempera-
ment; it is inbred in the very fibre OF
the soul; it differentiates the func-
tons; il determines the relation be.
