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'.

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.
