PUT TRUST IN THI LORD.
I«t«I Defense Hade by a Colored Hal
Answering to the Charge
of Theft.
“Last winter when 1 went south fot
my health,’ said Col. L. S. Brown, of the
Southern railway, who, according to the
Washington Star, always has a good
story In stock. "1 was told they were
going to try a colored man for stealing
a quantity of raw cotton, anti when the
hour arrived I went up to the court
house to hear the case. The prisoner
was a man about 40 years of age, and
he had elected to plead his own cases.
The prosecution proved that the bag
of cotton was found in the colored man’s
cabin, and the property was fully Iden
tified as belonging to the owner of a
compress. The prisoner asked no ques
tions, but said he wanted to make a
statement and rest his case ‘wld de
Lawd.' After awhile he was given an
opportunity to speak and said:
• " '1 was gwlne by dat compress at
’leben o’clock last night when a voice
dun called out to me: ‘Hold on, d&r,
Abraham Jones. Yo’ was a pore man,
an’ yo’ Jest take ’long dls bag o’ cotton
to buy yo’ some shoes fur cold weath
er.’ Den de bag fell at my feet, an' I
dun took It home.’
"Did you recognize the voice?' said
the judga
“ 'No, sah; but I reckon it was an
angel who spoka’
" Then why did you hide the bag
when you got home?’
" 'Well, sah. jest as I got frew de gate
another voice dun told me dat I’d bet
ter hide de cotton for a few days.’
“ ‘Did you recognize that voice?’
* *No, sah; but I dun reckon it was a
voice from he ben.’
“ ’And that’s your defense. Is it?*
“'Yes, Bah. Tse willin’ to net dls case
tn de Lawd’s hands. De Lawd He dua
knows I neb her stole dat cotton.*
" 'Hadn’t you better have a lawyerT
suggested the Judge, with something
like a smile on his face.
“ T reckon not, sah. I*ze been gwlne
to church fur de las fo’ty y’ars. an’ I’se
restin’ dls case right in de hands ob de
Law i:
“ Then I shall have to give you four
months In Jail, Abraham.*
" ‘Huh, what fur?’
“ 'For stealing that cotton.'
"The prisoner received his sentence
without a word, seeming to have ex
pected it, and was presently led away.
Two weeks later I met him on the streets
of a town 50 miles away and said to him:
" 'Abraham, I thought you were la
Jail over at Selma?'
“ rY«, sah, I was,’ he replied.
* 'And I remember you put your case
In the hands of the Lord ?’
“ * Deed, but I did. sah, as* I cum out
all right*
“ *But you got four months.’ v
“ ■So I did, sah—so I did, but arter
Serving nine days ob de time de Lawd
showed me how to dig outer dat Jail,
an* yer I am an’ dey won’t nebber git
me agin.* “_

There is a big difference be

class sewing machine, embodying
the best materials and workman
ship, and one which is made in the
cheapest manner. The buyer of
the cheap machine soon pays the

cost for repairs, to say nothing of
