REV. SAM JONES.
The Revivalist had a Parting bit '
of fun With his Audience.
An amusing incident occured at
the close of Sam lone’s sermon at
Pulaski the other dav. Stepping
down from the pulpit, folding hie
hands across nis bresst and look
ing solemnly over the audience, the
great revival is* said :
“I want all the wom°n in this
crowd who have not spoken a harsh
word or harbored an unkind
thought toward their husband* for
a month past to stand up.”
One old wom*»n, apparently on
the shady side of GO stood up
“Come forward and give me your;
hand,” said the preacher
The woman did so.
“Now turn and let this audience
see the best looking woman in the
country.”
After taking her i»»at the rei.a
list addressed the men.
“Now, I went all the men in 'his i
crowd who have not spoken a hard I
word or harbored an unkind
thought toward their wiv-s • . bland
up.”
“Twenty-seven great h’g. strap
ping fellows hopped out of the au
dience with an alacrity of c mpagne '
corks.”
“Come forward and give m y rnr
hands, my d«ar boys. ’
Jones gave each one a vigorous
shake, after which he arring d'
them all side by »i le in fi out of the l
pit and facing ttie aud<» ne'. H>
looked them over caeefu’ly aid
solemnly,and then, turning around
to the audience, he said:
“I want ycu all to 'ake a go<«a !
look at the twenty-seven bigg
liars, in the State of Tenue-s ”

Kiowa in th * Cherokee Strip, ha*

wou ier The b>y has been known
as perculiar ever since hts birth,
and those who nursed him when
an infant were wt nt to say he
“made ttvm n'rvou*,” although
his actions and habits were those
of nil infants, and he has nover
h’wn any miutal traits or dnvel
opment b a vond vhat is found iu
th« average hoy.
His parents and other members
'of the family, however, say that
! there has always been something
uncanny abouthini and that when
ever as a little child he was lifted
suddenly from the fl»or or abed, a
crackling noise was heard and a
slight shock or drickling sensation
was felt by the person lifting him,
somewhat similar to the shock re
ceived from a small storage bat
tery.
The boy is now old enough to
take cognizance of his peculiar pow
er and he takes great delight in
shocking those who come near him.
He can greatly increase the force
'of the shock by being placd on the
1 carpet, and after dark the electri
cal discharge is so strong that
1 snarks are emitted when he slides
across the floor and touches a piece
of metal.
J The force of the current seems to
,be greatly augmented for several
days before n storm of any kind,

There is no an’mal magnetism
about it, for he repels rather than
attracts anything. It seems to be
simply a remarkable amount of
el-ctricity in his body at all times.
