mission of the question next

bitionists and the liqtior dealers

Sam Jon en oil Prosperity*
Sam Jones, the picturesque
exhorter, occasionally stops his
talks on religion long enough to
speak a little on worldly affairs.
A few days ago he was preach
ing in a town in Georgia and,
dipping into politics, got off the
the following:
The biggest fool in the world is
the one who stands up and argues
against facts. I was talking to
one of those old free silver loons
a fewT days ago and called his at
tention to the great prosperity
which has come upon our coun
try, mills and shops and mines
running on full time, and I said
truly prosperity has come to our
land again. He said, "It ain't
struck me yet." I said, "It's
mighty hard to hit nothing."—

cent vote in the state indicates
that the South Dakota voter is
as much ashamed of Pettigrew

a man gets so high that he is
away up above the stars and
stripes you may soon expect to
see him tumbling down.
