A Bothered Barber.

The drummers bring 10 good sto-
ry occasionally. Mr. Alexander
Subers was in Griffin few days ago,
aud while there went into bar ber
shop to be shaved. The barber wore
a worried look, and when he had M.

Boss, | see in the papers about q
dead mans body being taken up, and

buried, but when they took him up
he had full beard. Is there any
truth in it,"
"Oh, yes" replied the drummer
Il read the account myself"
"Clean shaved when he died?"
"Clean as baby"
"And when they took him up had
full beasd on his facet"
"Certainiy."
"Must be so; that other gentleman

but it worries me nightly"
"Why should it worry you?"

How He Fixed the Divorce.

A well known lawyer told me
few days ago the following story of
late experience:
1're had a funny case, and / was
counsel for the lady | never heard
two people abuse each other so. |
never knew two people to make such
a bitter, hard fight as those two. The
property was considerable, and had
it tied up with an injunction. All
efforts to compromise were no good.
At last thought the man was try
ing TO cheat the woman, so l stopped
negotiations for n compromise and
prepared TO put the case into court.
The lady came to see me.
"1ts'no use, madam. I'm going
to put the case straight through the
court"
81 wish you would; it's what l
want. | never will compromise with
that man-hever, never, never !"
"All right. You will call here at
10 O'Clock tomorrow, and we will see
about the witnesses"
Next morning at 10 o'clock she was
there. She was natJily dressed in
great style, and she sat down with
pleased assurance.

"Well, we've fixed it,"
"You have ?"
Yes. It's all settled"

when he knocked | said: Who's

Cases Of Observation-Disclosures

At this very moment q gentleman
looking over my shoulder tells me
that few days ago he came to town
for the particular purpose Of mailing
letter He did not like to run the
risk of having it lie for day in the
post-oflice in the suburban borough
where he resides. lie came to Pitts
burgh, Gbont fifteen miles, went
straight to the post-oflice, bought six
twocent stamps which he remember
ed he was in need of. and returned to
his home with the important letter
resting securely in his breast
pocket.
A story used to be told many years
ago of a merchant who was peculiar
ly subject to fits of absent-minded-
ness. One day be was writing let
ter and thought, absent-mindedly,
that he had forgotten his correspond
ent's first name Turning to one of
his clerks he said, "W hat is John
Jackson's first name 2"
The clerk, accustomed to his en-
ployer's peculiarity, replied, John,
sir"
The merchant wrote his letter, put
it in an envelope, and was again OF q
loss, To the same clerk he said
Excuse me, Charles; Pve forgotten
John Jackson's last name"
But better story than the above
is told of gentlemen in this city
who was met by friend one morn
ing recently. hurrying back from the
depot towards his home.
whats the matter ?" the friend
asked.
ooh, I've left my watch under my
pillow. and l am going to get it,"
you'll miss your train"
"Oh, no." was the absent-minded
mans reply. "See, I've got four
minutes yet" and he pulled out his
watch to enforce the statement.
And he did not realize for several
seconds what it was that made his
friend laugh SO heartily.-Pittsburg

Vermont. He was born in the town
Of Shoreham, May Is, 1924 In

country store, and the aptitude for
business which be developed caused

In 1878 Mr.. Morton was appointed
honorary Commissioner to the Paris
Exposition. The same year he was
elected to Congress, and in 1880 he
was reelected. Ia the latter year he
declined the nomination for Vice
President. President Garfield offered
to make him either Secretary Of the
Navy or Minister to France. Mr..
Morton accepted the appointment to
the latter position, which he filed
from 1881 to 1885. He was instru-
mental in securing the removal Of the

To Guess the Speed of Trains.

There is not one person in 100 Of
the millions who travel on railroads
in the course of year who has any
idea of the speed of q train. A large
per cent OF even the regular trainmen
of the country cannot tell with any
degree of accuracy how fast train is
running Frequently engineers are
dispatched on a trip over q line of
railroad with instructions TO run ut a
speed of certain number of miles an
hour. The engineers do not carry q
speed indicator, but have learned by
various methods TO gauge their eng
ines SO as to make only the slightest
variation from their orders.
The majority of engineers use their
driving wheel as a guage. They
know its circumference. and by count.
ing its revolutions within a certain
time can Stell very accurately the
speed at which they are running.
Another method is to time the run
between mile posts passed in certain
time These poles, in level country,
and where four or five wires ere used,
a-e spaced so that they are thiitJ to the
mile. If only a single wire is used
they are spaced from twenty-five to
to twenty-eight to the mile.
The most accurate method, and the
one most in use by experienced rail
road men, is to count the number OF
N
twenty seconds. TIE rails in nearly
all cases are thirty feet in length, and
the number passed over in
twenty seconds is the speed per hour
8 train is running. For instance, if
passenger sitting in a sleeper can
count thirty clicks of the wheels on
rail Joint in twenty seconds the train
is running at the speed of thirty miles
an hour.-Kansas city Times.

The Disabled Soldiers.

To the EdjtOr Of tie Dispatch
Sir, Enclosed send you 81 for a con
tinuance Of your excellent paper. Can't
do without it. Hope You will publish
the following few lines in both Your
daily aud weekly for the benefit of a
class Of people who have been too long
neglected. I mean the one-legged and
one-armed men of the State who, have
been dragging ont sort OF miserable
existence ever since they were shot down
in the late war | see in your last issue
that the Legislature is trying to get
at something that will bear the
name of practical in what is
known as the Anderson bill. !"
But while il is step in the right
direction, and while it will make many a
poor cripple and many poor "widow
in her weeds rejoice, yet they should
have gone step further and allowed at
least $50 annually to every one who has
lost a leg above the knee and $50 to
those who have lost legs below the knee.
and the same $500 to widows Of deceased
veterans. | think IN Georgia they give
man who has lost a leg above the knee $75
and those who have lost legs below the
knee so per annum. Why cant
Virginia do it? There is a considerable
difference between the leg being OFF
above and below the knee. The latter
has the benefit of his joint which ena-
bles him to wear an artificial limb or
"peg" much better and with more ease
than the former.
We don't wish to reflect on the wisdom
of our Legislatures, but the most rdicu-
lousy absurd acts in regard TO pensions
have been passed by some of them that
we ever heard of. Heretofore man
with comparatively slight wound, which
does not disable at all, has been put on
an equality with one that has lost leg
or m arm, and the result las been that
the really disabled have had to stand
aside and see their money goDbled down
by those who would "laugh in their
sleeve" Mt the performance. But we
hope a better day is dawning for those
people who with patience and silence
have 80 long borne their sorrows and
Affections. OBSERVER.

a Minister Dismissed Because Ige
Smoked.
Rev. Mr.. Wassail. of the Orthodox
Church, Mendon, Mass, has been dis
missed from mis- pastorate because Of an
objectionable indulgence in tobacco.
He administered the gospel in the only
church in town to little flock Of wOr-
shippers His salary was only $3.50 Il
year, with not very pretentious par
sonage rent free. Besides this, there
was an annuity of 800, the gift of the
conference. Rev. Mr.. Wassail learned
to smoke while at college. He was not
an inyeterate smoker. As his small
salary did not permit the use OF the
weed in the form OF cigar. he used
pipe, from which he derived much So
lace, although the practice was INDUCED
in secretly.
His smoking habits coming to the no.
tice of his parishioners, Ar. WaSsail was
called to account at a meeting OF the
church last week. There were some
who recommended the retention of the
parson in the church if he would agree
to give up his pipe. The majority of
the members, however, ruled that his
sin could not be forgiven, and it was
voted to dismiss him.
The Rev. Mr.. Wassail is young
man and as his sermons are strong and
original, his friends believe he will have
no difficulty in finding another pastorate,
the members of which are more liberal
minded.

declaring that Germany had remained
perfectly consistent touching this mat

decisions Of the Berlin Congress | have
