THE CRANKS.
They Generally Prove to be the Most
Useful Citizens In the Community.

The TIMES man, being very mod
est, has frequently been shocked BY
the appellation of "crank" which has
so frequently and unanimously been
given to him by the alleged news
papers of Idaho. Shocked, because
he deemed himself unworthy of the
compliment. AS many persons, how
ever, may not be aware of the fullness
of the praise thus lavished upon this
scribe by his putative contemporaries,
the following article is reproduced.
1t Is by Robert ('Bob') J. Burdette,
one of the brightest humorists in the
world:
What would we do were it not for
the cranks? How slowly the tired
old world would move, did not the
cranks keep it rushing along! Col
umbus was a crank on the subject of
American discovery and ei-cumnavi.

most cranks, was thrown into prison
and died in poverty and disgrace.

death. Harvey was a crank on the
circulation of blood; Calico was an
astronomical crank; Fulton was a
crank on the subject Of steam navi-

All the old aboltionists were cranks;
John Bunyan was a crank; any man

Of course, some cranks are crankiel

A SLIPPERY TIME.


pennsylvania avenue had rather a strange ap-
pearance Saturday night, with the cabs, car
nages and vehicles OF every description forming
an almost unbrOken line up and down on the
street car tracks The light and dry snow which
was falling rendered travel dangerous upon the
concrete pavement. Every little while the ears Of
pedestrians would be assailed by a rafting OF
iron, ''gee having and "whoaing" aceompa-

CITY AND DISTRICT.
DEPARTMENT DROMIOS.
Two Officials Who Are Often Mistaken
One for the Other.

The striking similarity In the appearance Of Attor-
ney General Garland and First Controller Durham
Is the subject OF much comment among their
friends and has caused many laughable mistakes
Both officials are six feet tall, have their
faces cleany shaver, rugged Ia feature, wear
black SLOUGH hats, and are beyond an insnuation
OF being dudish In appearance. The Kentucky
controller Is somewhat the larger OF the two, but
the difference In size IS not noticed when they are
not together. Each is an admirer OF the other, In
the bottom Of his heart but the frequent mistakes
which have been made In taking one for the
other have offered opportunities for pretended In
dignation. One afternoon after Judge Durham's
appointment, secretary Manning sent for him
about some business; when IL was concluded,
'.NOr" exclaimed the astonished controller,
'whats the natter" Qhis was before the Pam
"He said he wouldn't be insulted any more by
being taken for you," said The Secretary. $50 he
wrote out his resignation and handed it to the
President"
The controller laughingly said he would get
even with him When Judge Durham was mar
ried TO a Kentucky lady, some time ago, the AttOr-
ney General told him that he hoped Mrs. Durham
wouldn't be making any mistakes around town,
for IL might be embarrassing The controller said
he would see to IL that no such mistakes were
made. few days afterwards Judge and Mrs.
Durham met the Attorney General while out walk
aLook here, Mr.. Garland" said Mrs. Durham,
understand that my husband is frequently mis-
taken for YOU don't see how 1t Is possible"
Cooking him In the face; sits an insult to Judge
Durham"
The Attorney General hadn't word to say
Not long ago the Attorney General was riding in
street car for the second time since he has been
IN the cabinet. He was the only passenger As
the car swung around the corner at the Ebbitt
handsomely dressed, middle-aged lady entered,
and with pleasant smile exclaimed: "Why Col
onel, how do you dor i haven't seen you for ever
30 long,"
81 am pretty WELL" replied the Attorney Gen.
seral, "but am not colonel"
al beg your pardon" interrupted the lady, 81
thought 1t was Col Durham"
81 know you did," said the Attorney General;
sthats the trouble"
swell, you needn't be so offended; Col. Durham
Is mighty nice man."
81 won't stand 1t any longer" muttered the At
tOrney General, and Strengthening up he exclaimed
In grandflOquent tones: "Madam, have you a
husband or a brother who will defend you? IL so,
tell him that my name is Garland, and that live
at, and that Will fight rather than be mis-
taken for that man from Kentucky"
The lady recognized the name, and enjoyed the
Joke hugely.
Each Official is constantly being taken for the
other. man jumped of the car the other day to
ask the first controller about matter pending In
The Department OF Justice, and the Attorney Gene
raj was stopped on 18th street and asked about
case awaiting action by the controller.

Wanted the Devil Driven from His
Heart.
But AFTER PRAYING HE CUT HIS WIFE WITH PEN
KNIFE

About month ago Mrs. Elizabeth O'ConnOr
came to this city from Culpeper Va, and has since
been living with her eight children on the Bla-
nensburg road, stating that on account OF the
treatment she received from her husband she re-
fused 10 live with him. Thanksgiving day, she
says, he called at the house, abused his wife, and
ran after her with a loaded revolver. Officer Slack
niSarmed him, and his wife not wanting to prose-
cute him he was not arrested. Last Friday
afternoon he returned TO the house, and said he
had been told by the priest that his wife will
ling for him to return. This Mrs. OCOnnOr denied,
and after getting a cup OF tea he wanted one OF
his little sons 10 pray with him that the devil
might be driven from his heart. The little fellow
refused, and the father prayed alone. Then he
went up stairs and called his children up, they
thought to lock them up, but they refused to go
up, and In a few minutes he came down stairs and
found his wife at the sewing machine. He made a
plunge at her with an open penknife and stabbed
her on the hip She fell, and he again made for
her, when his little son went to his mothers res
cue and assisted her TO escape from him. Later In
the evening Officer Slack arrested OCOnnor, and
he admitted doing the cutting. He said he was
only sorry he had not been let alone a few min
utes, so that he could have cut his own throat.
Saturday, in the Police Court, O'ConnOr was ar
raigned on charge OF assault. to which he
pleaded guilty. The court heard the testimony
and gave him six months in Jail.
