several days before election day-ho went
into a hardware store and saw two-men
loading ono hundred and twenty-five
double barreled lsuns, and that in another

Of weapons-number not specified. The
quantity OF firearms seen ut the first named
place, however, is significant evidence-if
the witness counted correctly. There is q
human tendency, not restricted to the
colored race, Of guessing at numbers, and
thoss who manifest it never underestimate;
but II tho witness saw any n loading
even one.half or one quarter as many shot

The announcement that the English

joker told him that a certain sensational
afternoon paper was about to write him
up. The supposed to be moral young
man thereupon rushed to the telephone.
called up the newspaper office, and tried
TO explain the circumstances, which
were, he thought, embodied in
the sensation. The wicked newspaper
men had never heard of Mr.. Stevens be-
fore, hut they took the explanation all
in. The telephone communication more
than limited ut a scandalous affair in Mr..
Stevens past history, and in the dread
full language sometimes used by aban-
doned reporters, "eave him dead away"
These reporters Immediately proceeded
to write Mr.. Stevens up, using the infor-
nation he had so kindly given them,
supplemented by more, which they were
enabled to reach from hints he had
thrown out. The afternoon paper con-
tanned the sensation, and the result is
that Mr.. Stevens has lost three situa-
tons, one in the business house, one in
the church, and the other as prospective
son-in-law in the house oe the wealthy
| Cleveland citizen. What has become OF
the joker is not known. Indianapolis
