st. Clairsville people tell an amusing
story in the Wheeling Inteliigencer of
the late Mrs. Shannon, widow OF ex-
Gov. Wilson Shannon, who died
at Leavenworth, Kan. In 1S40 Gov.
Shannon was q candidate for re-
election as Governor of Ohio on the
Democratic ticket, his opponent on the
Wing side being the famous Thomas
Corwin, who was successful in the can
vass, and became Governor, though
Shannon was again chosen at the bien-
mel election in 1912. During the can
vass of 1910, Mr.. Corwin was announced
to speak at st. Clairsville, where Gov.
Shannon resided. Possibly there was
to be joint discussion between the two
candidates-at any rate the meeting was
looked forward to with absorbing inter
est, and Mrs. Shannon, who was visiting
friends in this city, took the morning
stage to go out home on the day of the
occurrence. There were in the stage
quite a number of st. Clairsville ladies,
and man, apparently very dark mu-
latto, who seemed to be of retiring
disposition, and occupied a corner as
remote from his fellow-passengers as
possible.
Arrived at watering station, near the
foot of the big Hill" Mrs. Shannon,
who was accompanied by babe in
arms. desired to procure some milk for
the child, and requested the dark man
in the corner to hold the infant for her
Upon returning with the milk, having
fed the baby, and the stage BEING again
in motion, the babe was once more con-
signed to the care of the "mulatto,"
and the ladies proceeded to discuss the
great event of the day.
When the stage arrived at the hotel at
st. Clairsville, the nurse deferentially
informed Mrs. S. that he was at the end
of his journey, and transferred his
charge to her care, not, however, until
she had rendered him quarter in pay
ment of his services, which was, much
to her surprise, declined with much Dig
nifty, though very politely, withal.
The sequel transpired in the after
noon. What was Mrs. Shannon's sur
prise, upon reaching the grove In which
the meeting was to be held, to see her
mulatto nurse of the morning occupying
seat of honor upon the platform sur
prise scarcely increased when the dark
gentleman arose and was introduced by
Il prominent local politician as "Thomas
Corwin, the next Governor of Ohio"
The great orator was introduced to the
wife of his opponent later in the day,
and enjoyed her embarrassment over the
affair hugely, but Mrs. Shannon never
quite recovered from the modification
she felt when she discovered what mis-
take she had made.

An Arithmetical Dream.

A 7-year-old pupil of the Central
School, who sleeps with his mother, is
in the habit of talking while asleep, aud
a few nights ago the lady was awakened
by the strange conduct of her little son.
The boy, it seems, was dreaming that
he was doing sum in arithmetic, and
fancied his mothers face was slate.
She allowed him to put the imaginary
figures down on the imaginary slate,
but when he spit on his hand and was
about to erase the example she deemed
it high time to dispel the illusion, which
she did by shaking the young man until
he awoke.-Bu6dto Express.

A dog rushed out of yard on Gal
weston avenue and bit an elderly lady.
She was taken home in a hack, and In
about ten minutes her son, @ big. stout
six-footer, put in an appearance and
wanted to see the owner of the dog, who
expected that killing would be the least
that would happen to him.
"Your brute of a dog has bit my poor,
aged mother, who is weak and feeble
She is 80 years old, /" and the sons eyes
filed with tears.
CT am very sorry" said the owner of
the dog, feeling very uncomfortable.
"If you are sorry, how do you sup
pose feel ?" and he buried his face IN
his hands. :" If she dies. who have ]

Rank.

From general observation il seems
that man is ranked according to his
wealth and standing in community. If
he has q comfortable income he as Il
Major, but If he possess bank or runs
a half. dozen plantations, all letters adj
dressed to him will have the prefix Colo
mel to his name. When a man looms
up as Commodore, he is fat bond
holder. He owns two or three railroads
and very nearly all the people who have
business transactions with him. No one
has the least idea how many military
officers there are in the country until he
travels around. Not long ago an observ-
ing man, while on trip through
Georgia, was invited to a fashionable
dinner party, and while there was intro
duced to sixteen Majors, ten Colonels,
and eight Judges. He was nothing but
plain Mister, and, as he gazed ut the
notables seated around him, he felt like
mere fy-speck in this world. Life sud-
denly grew gloomy and dull, and the
more he thought of his humble position
the more melancholy he became. He
wanted to seek some dark secluded spot
and there bay the moon until some one
mistook him for dog and shot him with
gun. Sad and listless he roamed about,
and when his heart was sinking with
despair he was presented to Mr..
Brown.
care you plain Mr.. Brown ?" he in
quired, as the tears welled up in his
eyes.

Friend, brother" was all he could
say as he fell on Browns neck and wept.
Brown was veritably an oasis in desert
of dignitaries, and life was bright once
more.-NesD Orleans Times.

A legislators Little Joke.

Two Fairfield County members of the
General Assembly met at Hartford, to
engage eating and sleeping accommodate
tendance upon the session. One of them
is one of the representatives from this
city; the other represents shore town a
few miles west. Both are heavy weights
one of them possessing corporosity
nothing short of ponderous; both are al
ways beaming with good nature, ana
both dearly love practical joking. They
decided upon the Allyn House as their
stopping place. and called there to Sc
cure rooms. The big legislator went
ahead to look at the eligible apartments,
keeping his associate down stairs on some
pretext or other.
81 guess these will do" remarked the
big legislator, as the affable clerk showed
him pleasant sleeping apartment with
q sitting-room adjoining, there's clos
ct, suppose"
Eyes, sir" returned the clerk, showing
where it was.
"Ah, yes," observed the legislator,
surveying it critically, land it has hooks,
too. That will just suit my friend down
stairs. He will walk in every day, you
know, and bring his dinner. and one of
these hooks is just the thing to hang his
dinner pail on. No objection to having
him do that, SUPPOSED"
The affable clerk assured him there
was not the least objection.
Hell appreciate that, " said the legis-
lator, "and now there's another thing:
He may get caught over night by n storm
or something, and as he won't want to
hire room, suppose L shall have to
take him in with me. You can rig up a
cot bed or provide him with blankets to
sleep on the floor, as he isn't particular
about anything of that kind. Think We
can fix it?"
The clerk looked little dubious, but
said lie guessed it could be arranged sat
isfactorily, and the legislator closed the
bargain for the rooms ut once.
Meanwhile the Major was waiting
down stairs for his friend II have fixed
it all right, Dave" said the latter on
coming down stairs, "let's go"
"But I've got to get my rooms yet,
said the Bridgeport representative.
"All right, I'll wait for you, reioined
the other, winking expressively to the
clerk.
The Bridgeport man went on to trans
act his business, but couldn't understand

his friend explained matters later. Then
he laughed and said he must get even

A well-known citizen of Genoa was
convivializing with two professional
sporting gentlemen at Winston's bar,
when one OF the latter proposed game
Of cards, which was accepted by the
two others. The party was soon ina So
limit game of poker. For while the
Genoese played in excellent luck, when
the proposition was made 10 play with
out limit, which was also unanimously
agreed upon. The two sporting men
had entered into a contract to fleece the
countryman, and they dealt him four
jacks, the dealer took four queens and
the third received four aces. The man
from Genoa, believing that the game
was on the square, Clipped 500; the
lace" man "saw him" and ERASED"
another 500; the dealer "saw" that
and raised it $3.50. At this juncture
of the game the Genoese, whose credit is
A /, sent down to the Office of the hc.el
for $500, which was mt once brought to
him. At length "show" of cards was
called for, and, as the sports did not
want to impress their victim with the
idea that they were playing him falsely,
only the man with the queens produced
his hand. No sooner was this done than
the victim, presumably knowing what
he was about, whipped out revolver
and struck the dealer over the head with
it, knocking him senseless. Then he
went after the man who held theafour
aces, and in tones of thunder inquired {:
"What have you got? Show upl"
"O-h, OH" replied he, 81 amt got
nothing; was only bluffing that's all. 4"
With that the countryman picked up
all the money on the table and walked
off with it.-Carson city appeal.
