concerned. 1t has been debated, low.

human mind that death would be
preferable to a life lived in the mar

comes the alternative of imprison-
ment all his days when actually con.

Ex-Gov. Bob Taylor of Tennessee
was once entertaining a northern
guest, who was rather skeptical about
the prevailing dialect in stories Of
southern negroes. He thought it over
drawn. To disprove the contention,
Mr.. Taylor laughingly made a wager
with his guest that the northerner
would be unable TO interpret the Ian
guage Of the first negro they met,
Accordingly. they set out and present
ly came upon a black man basking in
dolently in the sun. Telling his
friend to pay close heed, Mr.. Taylor
stepped up to the negro and demand
ed, suddenly:
"Weh he?'
The negro blinked his eyes stolidly,
and then answered In cultural
voice:
"Wah who?"-Everybody's.

PRAYER IS WITHOUT RESULT
Boys Patience Is Exhausted After
Frequent Petitions to Throne
of Grace.

A young man who Is prominent in
church work in Philadelphia tells this
about his nephew:
Harold is the youngsters name, and
next door lives another boy by the
name of Dewey. They are each seven
years Old, and like most children Of
their age are disposed to get into mis-
chief as often as possible. Several
days ago they found q mans coat lying
on the front pavement while the own
er was fixing a gas main. From the
pockets of the coat the two boys alb
stracted several tickets, and when
Harold's mother found it out she made
him return the tickets and explained
the sin which he had committed,
warning him to pray that he be for
given that night. He obeyed, and
while on his knees added a prayer for
Dewey as we'll.
The next night Harolds mother was
in the next room when he said his
prayers, and she heard him ask God to
forgive Dewey for stealing a piece Of
cake. On the following evening he
again was moved to ask forgiveness
for his friend this time for stealing
three pieces Of candy. Apparently his
patience was exhausted, for the next
evening his mother was in the adi3in-
ing room when he offered his evening
prayer. and this is what she heard:
Gosh darn it, God, have done the
best I could for Dewey. l guess you
will have to watch him yourself" =

Edmund Yates used to tell this an

man afflicted with blood poisoning,
when he amputated the patients leg.
DO you think he'll recover, now?"
asked Yates. after the operation was
over.

clan. why, he never had a chance
to get we'll
