Both Went Back.

Several years ago, there lived in Dar5
danellc, Arkansaw, an eccentric hotel
keeper known as-well, say Uncle John.
He was violently opposed TO the title of
governor, declaring that he once knew
of \ gang of thieves whose password
was governor; and on many occasion,
guests who thoughtlessly gave him the
title, were driven from the house. Com,
mercial travellers ''put up" at his hotel.
Those who were acquainted with his
peculiarities took great delight in as
surfing drummers who had never be-
fore visited the town, that by calling
the old man governor, special attention
would be paid. One day Harry Collins.
young drummer for New York
house. decided to visit Dardanelle.
"By all means stop with Uncle John
Pash." said companion. '.He is the
best feeder in the country; and-say,
call him governor and he will nearly
kill himself waiting on you"
sWhen Collins arrived he was re-
ceived with a welcome that was delight
full to contemplate, and during the
course of atfable conversation, Collins
remarked:
by the way, governor no" are--
The old fellow became furious. He
had been teased several times that day,
and he knew that the title was intended
to be an insult The drummer became
angry and swore that he would not
stand such abuse.
"Come out here" said the old NAH.
Collins followed and was conducted to
the bank of the river, not far away.
"Now," exclaimed the old man,
drawing revolver, "we'll settle this
thing. 1.-Two of us came down here
Only one Of us will 60 back.
The drummer took ous pistol, halt
as long as his arm, and remarked:
I'm going back"
"Well." said the old man, returning
his own pistol, and eying the one held
by Collins, .I reckon that under the
circumstances we'd both better go
back. ."-.drkansaW IraUeler.
