“How is that, Uncle Josh?

Theology Mustn’t Be Questioned
A Richmond negro preacher
said to his congregation: “My
bredrin, when de fust man, Adam,
was created, he was made ob wet
j clay, and set up agin de fire-place
dry.”
1 “Do you say,” said one of the
congregation, rising to his feet,
“dat Adam was made ob wet clay,
an’ set up agin de fire-place to dry
“Yes, sar, I do.”
4 « Den who made de fire-place?”
“Set down, sar,” said the
preacher, stearnly, “sich dogon
as dat would upset any
system ob theology.”

Desturbed in Prayer.
A negro, who was suspected of
surreptitiously meddling with his
neighbor’s fruit, was caught in a
garden by moonlight.
What you doing here Mr. Green
?”was asked.
The good negro nonplused his
detectors by raising his eyes,
clasping his hands, piously ex¬
claiming :
“Good Lord! dis yere darkey
can’t go nowhere to pray any more
without bein’ ’sturbed.”

heaven?”
“Y"es, I’ve heard of it.”
“Wei!, Chloe, you smoke, and
you cannot enter the kingdom
of heaven, because there is noth
so unclean as the breath ol a srnok
er. What do you say to that?”

Painting is a practical work. Skillril
It’s the same with paint making.
You know 4 gallons L St M mixed il
3 gallons Linseed Oil makes enoughptij pail
for a moderate sized house—the best
money can buy—because the L $ MZi>
hardens the L St M White Lead andmta
the L & M Paint weai like iron.
Buy L & M and don’t pay $1.50agalfl
for Linseed Oil, as you do in ready-foMl
paint, but buy oil fresh from the barrel
60 eents and mix with with the L & M, ]
Actual cost L & M about $1 20 per gal
loo.
