In a little Alabama town Il score of
years ago there was shiftless colored
boy named Wash Jones, who after be-
ing caught in a number of petty de-
linqucncies was at last sentenced to
short term in the penitentiary. where
he was set to learn a trade On the
day of his return home he met friend
ly white acquaintance, who asked:

the prison, BillT"
"Dey started in to make an honest
boy Out'n me, sah.'

little more than a dollar when he
markets it in bulk or in a bag.
Many time pleasant drive has
led people of means to buy a sum

to bring their friends to do like
wise. This made a market at
town lot prices for farm lands and
a ready demand at good figures at
the very door of the farmer for his
fruit and vegetables, milk and but
ter, poultry and eggs. 1t has
helped to swell the tax lists even
though it reduced the tax rate
and helped the neighborhood to
make Improvements it could not
have afforded without such help
and by doing SO has further raised
the selling value of the acres near.
Many an illustration of this eff
feet of attractiveness of country

coming Of people of wealth and re-
hnement, accompanied by improve
ments they have caused, has in
creased the prices of farm lands so
greatly as to make their owners

And as they gazed upon its flood
They shivered cold shivcr.

They took a sudden header.

But William Bones caught Sarah Jones
In arms that never faltered
And brought her safely to the shore,
And thus was Cupid battered.

They'd never got no wetter.

SLAMS AND THEIR SPECIES.

q OfH"O HNO tHEth u ESiLo'
Uncle" said southern man
to an old negro who was selling
apples, why is it that the top of
your basket is mostly big apples,
and the bottom is mostly little
apples?"
well, sub" replied the old
man, scratching his head, Il spec
hits fur de same reason dat de
front of yo' house is mostly marble
an de back is mostly ash-cans. 4"
The top of the basket was a sham
aud the front of the house was a
sham.
There are all sorts of shams.
There are the sham people-sham
doctors, sham layers, sham teachers
sham lovers and all the rest, includ-
ing sham wivesand sham husbands.
There are the sham virtues
sham modesty, sham charity, sham
principles, sham gratitude, sham
friendship.
There are the sham vices, too,
because there is many man who
pretends to be worse than he is or
dares to be.
There is the whole catalogue of
sham appearances-sham position
in society, sham conversation
wherein you try to impress others
with your sham knowledge, sham
dinners off of sham silver, sham
signs ofprosperity when every mail
says, "please remit. "
There is sham politics, seem
through the thin veil OF sham pat
riotism
There is any quantity of sham
religion, sitting in sham churches
and listening to sham sermons by
sham preachers.
What kind of sham are you?
One of the rarest things in this
world of ours is genuineness, One
of the highest compliments you
can pay man is to be able to say
of him, he is genuine, he is sincere
in all he is and all he does"
But the world keeps on improv-
ing. We've got to believe that,
you know, if we believe anything
is worth while.
Think what wonderful world
it is going to be when there is no
more pretense III it; when we are
not ashamed when we are poor, not
envious when we are unsuccessful;
not clamoring for social recognition
because we are content to be what
we are; not blushing when our coat
is out at elbows, because it is no
reproach to wear an cid coat so
long as we can wear it honestly
and bravely, any more than it is a
reproach to love our little home,
humble though it may be.
1t will be good world to live in
then, when other people have stop
ped shamming, and we have stop
ped shamn:ing, too.
