Of this affair, let me say something in refer
ence to tue Range. 1t is q melancholy fact
that her history has been mystifcd hy the

ence OF the ignorant. But these days,
thank Heaven, arc numbered with the his
tory OF the past. For the last eight or ten
years the lcaven Of pure christianity has
been thrown in her midst, and,i has come
near leavcning the whole lump. Drunk

ing looked upon with disdain. Igno-
rance is rctreating from the light Of litcra-
turc, and the people arc looking to, and
laboring for, the complete dcvelopcncnt Of
the human intellect. And, sir, we prophcsy
that the day is not distant when the Range
will compete with any other ncighborlood
in the District. Why should she not9 The

ARRAY Between Gov. Wise and Hugh r.
Pleasants in the Capitol of Virginia.

'hChMoND, July Z, 1906.
Hugh Il. Peasants, brother of tho late
John llampden Plcasants, and formerly
editor OF the Penny Post Of this CITY, went
this morning into the Executive Chamber
OF the Capitol, where Gov. Wise was en-
gagged writing, and taking seat by invita-
ton of the Governor, said, after brief ne
Rod 81 thought gizzard foot was here"
Gov. Wise smilingy replied 81 am the
man." l'leasants, rising from his seat, and
approaching the table at which the Gov
ernor sat, said &: "By God, I did not know
you; and so You arc ebo shin and gizzard
loot 81 am," remarked Gov. Wise, with
a smile, "and You arc Hugh Pleasanta.n
i'leasan's therenpon commenced abusing
the Governor, without any provocation
whatever, when the Governor ordered him
to leave the room, but he refused to do so.
The Governor then rose from his seat, ap-
prcacod l1casants, and taking hold of
INN, cndcavorcd To push him out. Pleas
ants resisted, squared off, and placed him
sell III an attitude TO strike, when the Gov
ernor struck him with his fist under the left
eye, and cut him pretty severely. He then
seized him 10y the arm, turned him round.
and kicked him.
At this time the messenger of the Execu-
tive came mp, and had him removed by the
order Of the Governor. 1t is said that
Peasants WAS intoxicated.
The Know No,hings Of the city are yery
indignant about the affair.

pencil and ciphering away with ali his
might for few moments.
"Gleason's Pictorial, Home Journal, Sat
urday Courier, and your county paper,
come to -"
- "l'ut, my dear, VIC can't do without our
county paper" exclaimed Charles, looking
with amazcment into the face of his wife.
VI don't want you to do without that
said his wife.
SHERRY cobblcrs, ice creams, and oysters,
over hundred dollars, by tlundcr!" con-
t'nued he, turning to his figures again.
"lndccd :"
Il begin to see where the two hundred
and sixty-eiglt dollars have gone TO-" said
he.
And sherry cobblers are worse than use
less. l had no idea you drank, Charles -
Say no more, Mary; am done"
And he was done. The idea of "savinc
up something took complete possession OF
ii'm-not SO TAR rs to make him niggardly,
but lar enough TO make him abandon the
iour-ccnt segars, three evening papers, Vim
tons compounds, and especially sherry
cobblcrs.
son the next quarter day one hundred
dollars was added to his deposit at the Sa-
wings Bank, and as his habits improved
afterwards, and his salary still further in
creased, much greater sums were added.
In four years the house was built, new
furniture bought and paid for, and Charles
is considered one of the most thrifty Young
men i'll the town-all of which propitio,is
events, we honestly believe, had their origin
IN the beneficent influence Of the Savings
Bank, whose circular had opened his eyes
and stimulated him to carry ont his rcsoIu
ton.

A Printers PARODY.

In seasons when our funds ARE low,
Subscribers are provoking slow,
And new supplies keep up the flow,
OF dimes departing rapidly.
But We shall see a sad.ler sight,
When duns pour in from morn TO night
Commanding every sixpence bright
To be forked over speedily,
Our bonds and due bills all urraycd-
Each seal and signature Displayed
The holders VOW they must be paid
BY threats of claw and Chanccry."
Then t" despair we are almost driven
There's precious little use of livin',
When our last coppers rulely riven-
From hand thnt held IL lovingly.
But larger yet those duns shall grow,
When interest added on below,
Lcngth'ning our chin n foot or 80
While gazing Mt them Lopcles;ly.
'Tis SO that scarce have we begun
To plead for time upon dun,
Before there comes some other one
Demanding pay ferociously.
The moment darkens. On, yc brave,
Who would onr very bacon save!
Waive, patrons! nll your pretcxts waive,
And pay the printer chccrully.
All! it would yield us pleasure sweet,
a few delinquents now to meet,
AL >F Il
