declared that there he intended to die. It so happened, that as the fatal moment was approaching, just after Hamlet had stabbed the king, bis majesty took 1t into his head to die on the spot selected by the Philosoph;c Dane The poison was burning in Hamlet's veins he was in the agonies of death but stiIl he found time to say, sotto voce, to his stepfather:
 @Back-back-I'm going to die there ?
 The blood of outraged royalty was up. and the stabbed monarch replied:
 Pm king, and I'll die where please- pick out a place for yourself.n And Hamlet was compelled to let his soul out farther up the stage.

A Vice-President Drunk.

Washington Corr. Cleveland Leader.l
 Perhaps the most disgraceful scene in our history as a republic was the day oi Lincoln's second inauguration, when Andrew Johnson, the vice-president elect, made maudlin drunken speech before the leading men of this nation and the representatives of nearly every foreign nation of prominence. An old senator told me tonight how this came to be. Said he: Andrew Johnson was accus- toned to drinking, but he seldom took more than he could conveniently and sensibly carry. While governor of Ten- nessee he used to keep bottle of whisky in covered washstand in his office, and l have taken several drinks with him there. He would raise the cover, take a drink and offer one to me. Sill, this was a common custom in the south, and John son was not looked upon as a drinking man in Tennessee. l do not think he often took more than enough for himself at Washington. --.--,~.,
 As to his drunkenness at his inaugura- tion, to which Sumner so sarcasticaliy al- luded on the senate floor, John w. Forney told me how it occurred. Forney was clerk of the senate at the time. He said that Johnson had been drinking the night before the inauguration with a lot of friends at the Metropolitan hotel, and, as is usual in such cases, he arose the next morning with bad taste in his mouth and no appetite. The result was that he started up to the Capitol without breakfast, and when he got there he was very weak, and he looked wan and haggard. He came into the senate and asked MT. Forney if he could get him drink of whisky. Forney replied yes, and went ont and brought in . bottle of old Kentucky Bourbon. Johnson took this and poured . goblet half fual, while Forney's eyes grew large as he gulped it down. ,ls-s.a, ts-u ts
 This amount would have been enough to have made an ordinary man drunk, but it was not enough for Vice- -Prssidsnt Johnson. He filed tho glass hak iull again, and threw it in upon his empty stomach. He then walked of across the room, and he only staggered . little q he took his place beside Prexident Linz coin in ftont of the assemblage of cahi- net secretaries. fnreigu miiiseers and others. When 1t cana time to take his oath and tho book was handed him to kiss, he waived t aside with his hand, and began to make:a speech. ao lasssh :, What he said was never reported in the
The Arkansaw traveler., 1885-01-24

papers, but it must have been very funny. He took each of the secretaries to task and gave them instructions. He ad- dressed the foreign ministers, and though Forney tried to pull him down by holding to his coat tails behind, he would not stop, but went on. President Lincoln was, as were all the Americans present, grieved by the occurrence, and Abe Lincoln said : q hope this will prove a lesson te Andv.'"

voted for Every President.

William A. Hume was born in New Jer-
sey in 177O, and when Gen. Washington
was made President the second time he
was old enough to vote, and no doubt cast
his ballot for the first President of the
United States. Mr.. Ilulme died IN 1890,
his last vote for President being cast for
Gen. jackson. William Hume, OF Benton
a son of William A., voted first for Jack
son in 1889, the ballot having stamped
upon its back Hickory tree. He has
voted for every democratic candidate for
President ever since. so that we find in
this instance the unusual fact that the
father and son in succession have voted at
every Presidential election from the be-
ginning, and have always voted the dem
ocratic ticket. 1t is likely that at this day
very few such cases can be found in the
country.

The following notice we clip from the

rev referred to is William Torrey formerly
of Ashland, now OF Abilene, Texas, who
has many friends in this county. Speak
ing of Torrey & Huston, land, live STOCK

This firm does general land business
and controls large amount OF desirable
property in farming lands and stocked or
unstocked ranches for sheep, cattle or
horses. They have large experience in
their line and are thoroughly conversant
with the values and sdaptabilty of the
lands in this vicinity and elsewhere in the
State. Mr. Torrey, formerly OF Pennsylva-
MIA, has resided in Abilene since the be-
ginning OF the city, and Mr.. Huston, late
of Kentucky, has lived here two years,
both enjoying large acquaintance, and
the firm in general an excellent trade.
They are prepared to sell land in tracts OF
100 acres TO 1000 acres each at prices
ranging from 81 up. They also have faci'
lities for the placing of money adyanla'
gcously for Investors or for loans on real

many. How areyouto find out
what good things are good for
if you never use them ? The
major part of the people never
do find out. tits almost need
less to say SO. Everybody
knows it. The delicate part is
to hint that you, who are reading
this paper this minute, are pos
sibly one of the number who
never will find out.
And gloves and shoes are
perhaps the very best illustra-
tons we have in the store of the
folly of buying poor stuff when
good is to be got without extra
vagance. About every sort of
glove and about every sort of
shoe is made to look like a pro-
per glove and aproper shoe /;
and you are tempted in almost
every store in the world to one
of two blunders extravaganza
or buying a sham. You are not
SO tempted here. We sell good
gloves and good shoes. We
draw the line pretty high. We
could easily draw it higher.
Sham gloves and shoes we leave
to those who are willing to trade
on your gullibility. We prefer
the slower trust of the wiser half
of you.
And what we say of gloves
and shoes we hope to say some
time of everything.
