The rich, round mellifluous voice is unheard und the clever imitation. Taylor is a coniuimmato actor, a superb story teller. Here are home stories from his latest lecture. Tho doctor's natient was hone- ledhly ill. The doctor had done all that medicine and profess ional skill could do to save .his life,- or prolong his days. Finally tho end approached. Tho patient rested on his bed as the doctor told him of his Hcrions condition. "Hiivft vou anvthincto tav in- - quired the doctor, any state ment before you pass away.' "Yes," said the patient turn ing wearily, "tell my folks I wish I had got another doctor." Hob Taylor was at his best when ho told negro stories, put tinir in them the dialect of tho old-time plantation darKey. Undo 'Kastus was a good old negro who lived on his mas ter's plantation down lnucorgia. Ho was deeply religious. One of his frequent prayers was that tlu rood Jesus might come and take Undo "Kastus homo. One dark stormy night ho knelt ii in his cabin and prayed, uwus a fervent petition. "Comegood Jesus, an" tuke your po' ol' ser vauthome. He's tired and no ,nnt and WlUltS to go. OoiUO down, Lord, and tak him; come, take Uncle 'Kastus home. Tho old man paused, a knock resounded sharply on the cabin door. "Who's dar?" said tho old darkey. . "Jesus, come to take I ucle 'Kastus home." The negro looked around, stood up and said: "Undo 'Kastus dono mu u. He don't live here no more, l-o to the nex' cabin."

He had been out with the boys and his wife reproached him. "Why, its early, yet. It's not late." Just then the clock sounded one, two, three. The wife looked nt him with grim rebuke. lie caught her eye and jerked out this reply: "Well, now, if you want to be lieve that darned dollar-and-a-half clock before your dear hus band, it's all right." It was a similar occasion, only more so. This time ho was a little drunker thn usual. His step was unsteady but he had not lost his courteous manners. She met him at the front, weep ing reproachfully. "Oh, John," she pleaded, "what makes you do this way?" "Vou art hie so awful pret ty hie " he said, making an extravagant bow and kissing her, "that I like to hie to see you double." 11 If I I! ii r 1 II And she put him tenderly toj bed, bathed his forehead tho next morning and forgot about tho Hcolding fcho had fully de termined to administer to him. Tho old German had a son a baby boy. lie was anxious to know what the child was going to become when he grew up to bo a man, what profession he would follow, or trade .or oc cupation. "I know a plan, ' he said to his wife one day, "I will try li i m. See that table. I will get a Bible and a bottle of whiskey and a dollar. I will put it on tho table. Then I will let the little boy come in. If he takes the Bible ho will bo a preacher. If he takes the dollar he will be a hanker. If he takes the whiskey he will be a drunkard." The numerous article were duly displayed upon the table. The boy wandered in after some time while the old man and his wife watched him from a crack in the door. He went at once to the table, looked it over a moment carefully. Then he reached for the dollar, slid it into his pocket, took down the bottle of whiskey and drank its contents and marched off with the Bible under his arm. The old German turned to his wife, "My God Gretchen, he's going to be a politician." Red is the color of danger, whether on the semaphore or on the skin.

An angry bull seeing the old darkey with his red shirt on started after him. Uncle Reuben ran. So did the bull. Around the corner, under the trees, over the hills and up from the hollows, the chase progressed. Aunt Sarah, Reuben's wife watched it from the cabin door. The old man ran like a race-horse but the bull was gaining on him. Finally, however, by an extra spurt of speed he made Iiis way safely within the cabin and the door was slammed and barred behind him. "Reuben, I didn't know yon was such a good runner," said the' old woman. "Go way, niggah," said Uncle Reuben panting for breath, "you fink I wuz gwine to frow off in a race like dat!"
