Friday night the minister, seeing his earnestness, said to him: "My friend, are you a Christian 1" " No, sir, was the reply. " Yon seem to be always looking towards the rostrum with great earnestness. I hope an interest has been wakened in your heart." "I am just waiting to see what the man up there in the blonde moustache and projecting teeth will decide to do."

" Oh, that ain't it. Yon see that man always gets religion at every revival, and I am just layin' low for him to come forward and say that he has had a change of heart, so that I can stand at the door when he comes out and ask him to pay me that 10 dol. he owes me before he has a chance to backslide."
