Joke or Sam Jones

A recent article OF the "Home Life of
Sam jones'" says the evangelist is fond
Of the "yaller dog" illustration and he
generally gets a grip on his audience by
this means; but occasionally he gets a
turn down, if the papers report him cor
rectly. Somewhere in the East he was
preaching to a great crowd in a tent or
tabernacle, and there were seated on
the rostrum near him, or rather be-
hind him, several of the local
clergy of the vicinity belonging to vari-
ous religious denominations. In the
course of his remarks the evangelist
alluded to the deafness of the churches
the lack Of revival spirit, the sameness
and stale decorum of their pulpit exer
cises etc.
Warming up to his subject, he began
to question these listening pastors, as
to the condition of their w charges,
and twitted them remorselessly for
their inability to get upa "rousement."
Finally when the congregation was in
a mirthful humor over the pastors en-
poiiaoS'iieiI, he Wouilu up MS mar
by saying, "If Istood in your shoes, my
good brethren. my dignified and inert
brethren, and Icould not put any life
into my business, I'd simply send for a
yaller dog and put him to barking. Sure,
L would have a noise, if 1 could not have
anything better, with such a dead-alivc
state of things as find in this town"
The crowd would have whooped fit had
been permissible, but one of the dignifed
brethren rose from his chair, and said,
"That is just what we have done Sic'em,
Sam, sic'em." The audience roared, and
Sam joined in the laugh.

Letter From Cuba.

We should always be careful to look
on the bright side of things. Now here
in Cuba there are many advantages for
men of money and energy. 1t takes
vim and prudence to succeed here. The
writer knows of several who have sue
ceeded. Nh. Johnson who has moved
from Santiago to this place for the
summer has made a fortune by his
tact and energy. He owns q large SUI
gar farm worth several thousand dol
lars. He says that any man that will
come here and go to work to develop
the u of this country can sue
coed. Many others have done equally
as well. We have fruit all times of
the year. The grass is ever green and
vegetation is never killed out by frost.
One could make a living on five or ten
acres of land and have all the stock he
needs, also poultry, bees, etc. In trav-
cling through the country one will see
many wonderful things in the way of
sugar, coffee and tobacco farms. The
coffee bush is something like the black
haw bush of the States. 1t will produce
from n to six pounds per year to the
tree. The trees can stand about 6 feet
apart, or founteen hundred trees to the
acre. The average production is four
thousand pounds to the acre, worth
here 25 cents per pound, making a total
of about one thousand dollars on one
acre. 1t requires about four years be-
fore a grove will bear much. Of course
if you will give the farm some atten-
ton the yield is better.

VERDICT FOR $1,000.
Lydia Cotton Mill of Clinton Loses in the
United States Court.

Greenville, April 26.-In the federal
court here today a verdict of $1,000
was given to the plaintiff in the case of
the Prairie Cotton company of Missis-
sippi against the Lydia cotton mills of
this State. The Prairie company claimed
that the Lydia mill failed to carry out
a contract which provided hat the Ly-
dia mill should buy 200 bales of cotton
from the Prairie company. The Lydia
mill claimed that the cotton was not up
to grade, therefore purchase was not
made. The Prairie Company later sold
this cotton to parties in New England,
entailing a loss of 2 cents per pound.
Hence the suit for damages. A motion
will be argued tomorrow for a new
trial.
