The Husky Jamaican Didn't Care to
Work For Nothing.
An English naval officer tells Of be-
ing on a war vessel which took pro-
visions to ST. Kits, one of the Brit
ish West India islands. A hurricane
had left many Of the inhabitants in a
destitute or even starving condition.
Hungry crowds gathered ct the wharf,
but refused TO help unload the food
that was to be given to them unless
paid for their work.
A similar story sheds light on the
Jamaican negro. Some years ago a
hurricane devastated the island, and q
large relief sum was raised, much Of
it In England and the United States.
The committee having charge OF this
fund sent a wagon load OF lumber to
a husky black man whose house had
been scattered over the parish. He
and hts family were living in a rude
shack, made out Of odds and ends.
What's that fur2'' he asked OF the
men who were unloading the material
in front Of his patch OF ground.
That's for your new house." was

Jack Sheppard as 4 Text.

Jack Sheppard had great hold upon
the imagination of the people of his
time. The fact that 200, 600 people wit.
messed his execution at Tyburn on
Nov. Is, 1924. upon the tree that bears
twelve times a yeare" is some witness
to his grim popularity. But one Of the
strangeSt tributes ever paid him was
the sermon preached upon him in q
London church.
"Oh, that We were all like Jack Shep-
pard" began the preacher, to the stu
pefaction Of bis congregation. He went
on to draw parallel between things
OF the flesh and those Of the soul and
to point out that the genius shown in
housebreaking might have been be-
slowed upon picking the locks Of the
heart with the nail Of repentance"

an immense number OF followers
around him. He always wore gold
mask, claiming that be did so TO pro-
tect the mortals OF this earth, who, he
said, could not look upon his face and
