POINTED WAY TO SALVATION.
Preacher's Advice Was All Right
I But His Hriend Also Mad Some
thing Wise to Say.
i Senator Samuel A. Hudson,
I speaking recenily at a banquet.told
j the following :
I "A colored preacher stood up
I on a Sunday and said, 'My lext
j this morning, brothers and sisiers,
! am "Whai sluill 1 do 10 he saved?"
' To me there seems only one way
1 10 he saved, and that am id quit
j ihis 'ere extravagant living. Back
to ilte simple life, says I. There
am lo he no chance For you to be
saved so long as you keep up this
high living. If there is anything
thai is going lo kill our race it is
ihese'ere luxuries. Better go
hungry and cold like the wolf. Go
oui and face the rains and fight ihe
storms. Go wade like die crane.
You will grow rugged and you will
grow lough, but you'll walk like a
man. Yes, sir, thai am de way to
salvation, thai am de way to get
saved."
Wms
i
if
"Just then a tall colored man,
rising from his pew in the rear of
the church interrupted the preach
er, shouting: "This am no way
to be saved. You jusi jump right
through that back window and
run just as fast as your legs will
carry you, for the county sheriff
am here with a warrant for your
arrest for stealing them chickens
from Massa Martinis coop last Fri
day night.' " Chicago Times

THE DIFFERENCE.
When a pusson has got money, go where'er he may,
It is : "Howdy, Mister Johnsing, won't you step dis way?
Come right up an' jine de party, have a good cigar,
And a little lobsiah an' a auto car."
Other times he may be achin' fo' a meal and smoke,
But he never gits invited when he's clean dead broke.
When a pusson's got a bank roll dat would choke a hoss,
All the people touch dey hats an' holler : "Howdy, boss.'
He kin drink an' play de races an' shoot craps a lot,
An' de people merely murmur : "Dat's a way he's got."
But dey won't sian' it a minute fum a cheap skate moke,
For dey always got a hammah fo' de guy what's broke.
Now, if fo' a waiahmillion should a pore man pine.
An' should go an' lift it gently from de rich man's vine,
He'd git ninety clays in prison or perhaps a year,
Now de rich man steals a million as a financier,
An' de folks dey make a hero of de old rich bloke;
Bui it's different wid de pusson who am clean dead broke.
New dere am a good time comin' fo' de ten-cent guys.
An' de rich folks dey will learn it wid a deep surprise.
If dey chance lo go to Glory, dey'll see pore folks there,
All a-playin' harps an' wearin' of de crown so rare.
An' de rich kain't buy no better ones fo' here's de joke,
When it comes to flashin' money de'll be all dead broke.
MATTER OF JUSTICE.
Where shall justice begin, with
(hose who have power or with
those who suffer wrong? If exact
and ideal justice were done, the
weak would make an effort to give
to the strong all that is iheir due,
and the strong would try to put
iheir affairs in order so that no
just cause of complaint should ex
ist anywhere. The unhappy ele
ment in the relations of the strong
and the weak is that both are think
ing too much about exacting jus
tice and not enough about doing
thai which is just and right. "Pay
what thou owest" is the cry most
often heard. "Give me that which
is my due, then I will pay you
what I owe." The Christian Reg-

It is curious how we go about

know a woman who is really
very adorable, but she. is al
ways bristling with bayonets
to repel any who would pene
trate into Ihe soerut treasures
of her soul. It is not strange
that tho more keenly alive the
soul is to the thrill and marvel
of affection, the more it seems
to clothe itself iu steel against
it ?
If we only knew the inner
written pages of all hearts
what a world of tenderness and
beauty would be revealed !
If all the honest love thoughts
should be said, or, better, sung,
what music, surpassing the
strains of Isolde, would play
above the swarm of human
creatures !
It is such music the angels,
and the blessed dead who hover
around us, hear, and so think
better of us than we do of our
selves. I cannot help thinking Ther
sytesand Diogenes, and all the
dog-pack of cynics and pessi
mists who rail at the human
race and invent gall, philoso
phies, are really, inwardly and
sheepishly passionate lovers,
whose modesty it is that has
grown to a pitiful rage; and
their cursings and snarlings are
nothing but incoherent hunger
cries of love. Doubtless in the
next world we shall see these
souls burning hottest) and
brightest with Celestial pas
sions, there where love shall be
stripped of shield, buckler and
visored helmet, and we shall
see ''face to face, and know
even as also we are known."
Tho one damning unfaith
here below is the doubt of love.
It means hell.
Why do ve suspect so much,
doubt so much, and think it's
such a calamity to be deceived1
A saying of Spurgeon was:
"He that believes too easily
may be bitten, but be that be
lieves not at all shall be devoured."
FAVORED A FAIR TRIAL,
The late Wilbur Sanders, of
Montana, once United States Sen
ator from that State, rode into a
Montana mining town one after
noon and found the entire popula
tion about to lynch a man who had
been stealing ore.
Saunders pushed his way into
the crowd.
"Stop this!" he thundered.
"Stop this! I protest! There has
been too much of this sort of thing
in Montana. We must break up
the habit we have of hanging men
without a trial by law. You must
not hang him now, Lei us give
him a fair and impartial trial as
prescribed by law, and then hang
him !" San Francisco Chronicle.

TRUTHFUL SAVINGS
According to Uncle Abner.
The things that a feller likes to
eat and drink ain't good for him,
and, anyhow, they cost too much.
When a man wears good clothes
it's a cinch that somebody has to
work for them, either himself or
his wife.
If all the young gentlemen who
hang around the pool rooms would
go to work ihis life would be a lot
easier for the rest of us.
I never saw a postmaster who
was against the government at
least, not until he got out of office.
Ame Hillike's nose is so red that
it singes his mustache. Ame was
brought up in a drugstore county.
A feller who thinks that the
horse is down and out ought to go
and try to buy one.
After a feller has learned to run
a furnace, nothing like an automo
bile or a locomotive gives him the
least trouble.
You can't elways judge ihe
neighbor by the clothes that hang
out on the line.
No feller kin be classed as among
the truly rich until he has been
called to testify before the cam
paign fund investigating committee.
Il is a durn sight easier to
an automobile than it is 10

Luke Higgins has got the best
automobile in the world, but he is
