KRISS KRINGLE'S WIDOW.
What the Jolly Old Soul Has
To Say To Memphis.

D@- There is nothing in either An
cient or Modern History to prove
that Kriss Kringle ever had a wife,
and therefore, as he is neither dead,
nor never was married, it is impossi-
bic for him to have a widow.
But it is possible, and it is true
that the MIsFIT CLOTHING PAR
LoRs, 262 Second street, are making
special CHRISTMAS OFFERS in
fine Suits, Pants and Overcoats.
Do You Want An 0verc0at ?
Every one is anxious to save as
much as possible when buying. The
Overcoats you get at the MIsFIT
CLOTHING PARLoRs are cheap, be.
cause they are not only low in price
but also high in quality.
OVERCOATS for the man with but
few dollars.
OVERCOATS for the man wht
wants fine dress.
OVERCOATS for everybody and a
everybody's prices.

GENERAL ITEMS,

LAST April, during the flood
times, when the Tennessee river was
higher than it had been for twenty
years, Thomas Blakeney, an enter
prislng young coal miner, learned
that the civil-service commission was
in Knoxville. Being of an aspiring
turn, he conceived the idea Of stand
ing an examination. He crossed the
river on a raft of logs and then
tramped through the mountains to
the railroad. He reached Knoxville,
was examined and had almost forgot
ten the matter. Saturday he receiy-
ed notice that he had passed success
fully and had been appointed to an
eight-hundred- dollar clerkship in
the Treasury Department.

English people often say that the most in

are our railroad men. A typical American
railroad man is indeed study and marvel.
Such an one is Thomas Z. Watt, the Pitts

sheer force of energy, courtesy and that most

4 VERY NARROW EsCAPE-About dark
yesterday evening while the crew of the
yard train of the Virginia Midland Railway
were engaged in running cars on the siding
at the tannery Of Messrs. &. &. Smoot &
Sons, their ears were greeted.by an unearth-
" shrek as from some one about to be de-
capltated. The cars were stopped as quick
y as possible, but the cry not being imme-
dlately repeated the train was once more
put in motion, when the shrek for the sec
Ond time rent the air. Determined to ascer-
tain who or what made the noise, the train
men stopped the cars again and proceeded
to examine the track and premises, and had
not prosecuted their seach far before they
discovered we'll known individual named
Pat. Doran lying full length upon the track
hclplessly drunk and unable 10 move, though
with sense enough left TO comprehend the
danger he was iu. Part of chr had passed
over the drunken man, and had it not been
for the fact that he was lying lcagthwise the
track and close to the rails he would have
surely been killed by the cross piece Of the
brake. This appliance, fortunately for
DoraD, had worked loose, and was raised up
when his body came in contact with it.
Doren doubtless supposed there would be
no danger in lying on the side track, and
ran the risk Of it being used before he could
sleep oil his debauch. He was badly scared i,
and in future will not sleep on railroad
tracks, no matter how isolated from main
stems they may be.
