'The situation is truly alarming" he
said; and he requested the cafe man at
the Yarboro House to hand him Glove
to take the taste out of his mouth.
''In what respect2' asked the cock.ta
artist, las he dexterously dashed tress of
raven moustache over his lef. shoulder.
II refer to the phenomenal stringency
which threatens to disturb the fiscal
equilibrium of the country" responded
the financial philosopher, as he strobe
away without paying for his drink.
The great man of finance, absorbed
with reflections on the national debt.
passed up the street to make few prac-
tical suggestions to the president of the
Citizens National Bank.
The phenomenal stringency' suddenly
flashed on the mind of the cafe
man, and, Fastening to his black
board, he charged the Glove to himself
and entered the price of the drink among
his insolvent credits.
When the Napoleon of finance had
crossed Martin street his grave cast of
features relaxed. That he might util-
izs to personal behoof even tue sugges-
tons of liquid waste, his tongue,
shooting forth, Tapped his physiognomy
from collar button to eve brows, and,
then, pliantly curving,it peeped into each
ear in quest of any possibly vagrant grain
of whiskeyizsd sugar. Smacking his lips,
he drew sleeve of his fourth winters
overcoat across his mouth, and, then,
glanced timidly over his right shoulder
in the direction of the Yarboro cafe.
That highly intellectual member OF the
next House of Representatives of the
North Carolina Legislature, who is rot
candidate for Speaker, after identity
ing and accurately counting himself,
will please report to that other intelli
| gent and untiring statesman, who is a
member of the next National House of
Representatives and who is, also, not a
candidate for the Speakership. There
is liberal fortune before these two. The
combination would be SO rare that the
alert dime museum, or side show man,
would enormously salary "the wonder
full living curiosities-the original and
only two"
The anti-monopoly and anti-railway
combination exponent and prophet, DR..
Macune, of Alliance fame, has been trav.
elling over monopoly railway on free
passes. These were the tender and gift
of Pat Calhoun, candidate for the seal
and salary of that keen old Baptist
brother, Uncle Joe Brown. Since tht
election of Gordon to administer on the
political estate of Uncle Joe, Pat ha,
quietly and cautiously withdrawn his
candidacy. But, DR.. Macune clings will
a real sub treasury tenacity to his fre
passes.
Inasmuch, the average drummer, wht
pays as he goes and doesn't 60 whel
he can't pay, may now rise and boldl
