were discussing politics last evening and the
old gentleman related several anecdotes of
the long ago. Said he: "1'here is a big
difference nowadays in the way things are
done and | want to tell you of a very
eccentric character who lived in the long ago
and who was quite celebrity
In bis day. l allude to old
man Dread Swain of Emanuel county.
For twenty-eight years he represented his
county in the state legislature, and many
amusing things are told OF him. There
were few railroads in his time, and the only
way for him to get to Milledgeville was to
go on horseback or walk, aud then of course
if he went on horseback he would DC put to
the expense of keeping his horse while
there, so he usually walked. taking his rifle
and killing game and camp
ing out on the trip, and it Is said
of him that instead of boarding
in the city like tho other members, he used
to camp out in the suburbs and go into
town every day. He was a very penurious
old gentleman and hated to spend his
money for anything. / recall one amusing
tale that they use to tell Of him, and it has
the merit of being literally true. The
story, with some variations, has been told
of several of the old-timers, but is true only
when applied to old man Swain. As told
you he usually took his rifle with him to
Milledgeville, and along toward the close
of his many terms OF service he started
from his home to the capital on foot, as
usual, and reaching his old camping ground
III the suburbs late in the afternoon he
pitched his camp for the night, or for the
term, for that matter. Early next morning
his ever vigilant hunoer's eye lighted upon
the bronze eagle which had been placed
upon the dome OF the capitol building
during his absence. or course old man
Swain had never heard of or saw such
things, and he at once took IL to be a sure
enough live eagle, sitting there in the
morning sunlight. "Hi-yi,n said old Dread,
You nasty sheep stealer, I'll fix you in
jiffy." The old man took mis- rife and be-
gan stalking the counterfeit eagle. Get
ting within long range he drew a bead on
the bird of freedom" and pulled down
and, of course, thought he had missed.
Thinking possibly he was too far from his
game for a sure shot he started to get nearer
when he met some parties who had been at
tracted by his first shot" Hist" says old
man Swain. keep low. don't you see that

QUAY Is STILL A SPHINX.
BE HOPES HIS STATE WILL VINDI-
CATE HIM AT THE POLLS.

II Delamater Gets 60, 900 Majority He
Will Take It as q Personal Indorse-
ment by the Keystone Republicans
he May Then Retire to Private Life
in Pennsylvania.
WASHINGTON, Sept. s-Senntor Quay
was So busy in the Senate to-day trying TO
get as high protection for the sugar trust as
possible and getting good deal more than
the House gave, although his own particu-
lar amendment proved too high even for
the finance committee and 50
was defeated, that he did not
have time TO say anything about Rep
resentative Kennedy's challange 1t may
be set down, however. definitely as certain
that Senator Quay will not take up the
gauntlet. He will neither answer the
charges nor resign from the Senate, nor
from the Craftsmanship of the republican
national committee any more than he will
abdicate his leadership in congress except
in one contingency
WAITING FOR PENNSYLVANIA.
Should ex-State Senator Delamater by
any accident be elected by an unusually
large majority, say more than the $1,000
which Beaver received last year, Senator
Quay may resign all his honors and digni-
ties. There can be no doubt that lle would
gladly exchange all at once and with pleas
ure, but he feels that he cannot retreat
under fire, but must be "vindicated" again
before he gets out. If Pennsylvania will
only vindicate him by a large majority he
will feel that he can retire to private life,
but he will do nothing to vindicate himself
except to try to get votes for Senator Della
mater.
PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICANS INACTIVE
Nor have the Pennsylvania republicans in
the House taken any steps to vindicate
Senator Qusy. They are still waiting for
the appearance of Representative Ken
nedy's speech in the Congressional Record,
they say, and still beseeching Representative
Kennedy for the love of the grand old
party not to let it appear in the Record
Representative Kennedy is still firm, he
says, and will print it, but must first wait
until he sees Speaker Reed.

STRANGE SCENE IN EDEN.
A Wetchmen's Lively Experience
With a Rollicking Cow.
Prom the Cincinnati Enquirer.


From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Watchman Pat Brazsll of the Garden Of
Eden had an hours experience yesterday
which he won't forget until the day when
he shuffies off about 800 pounds of this
mortal coil and adds his sub-bass with its
coupler attachment to the angel chorus.
Mr.. Brazell was bordering weightily over
some important matters yesterday morning,
when he heard soft footsteps approaching.
and. looking up, he saw cow with limo
cent fawn-like eyes and tail like pump
handle, gazing mildly at him
The COW was breathing hot, passionate
breath, and had rope about fifty feet long
attached to the long horns that decorated
her front.

soft, persuasive tone, 81 got G get this
quaderped out o here, if l drive her my

The COW said never a word, but gazed
suspiciously at Mr.. Brazell while he gathered
up yard or two of the rope and wrapped
it about his hand. Then she suddenly
decided to go over and look at the reser-
voir, and started off at a Salvador gait.
Mr. Brazell went with her.
She was a notional creature-the COW was
and after Looping 100 yards with the
watchman's portly form galloping madly in
her wake, she concluded to retrace her
steps. Pat was not expecting this move,
but he managed to slow up, and the race
was recommended with the watchman in the
lead.
Again and again the cow changed her
course, now dragging Mr.. Brszel with
mammoth strides nnw1llingiy after her, now
chasing hmm until his weighty abdomen
surged like the sad sea waves, as he made
tracks to get out of reach. Pat wouldn't let

bovine's amusement for nearly al hour,
when the watchman was fairly exhausted
and dropped despairingly to the ground.
Then boy who had been enjoying the
sport came up, and seizing the rope from
Mr.. Brazells nerveless hand, led the COW
quietly out of the park
