Last Saturday Landlord Grouse, Of South
Fork, Cambria county, who IS a Democrat
and a warm supporter of Linton for Judge
determined to erect pole in front Of his
hestelery in honor of his favOrite. A trim
stick of hickory was procured, hole dug
for its reception and large crowd Of the
faithful collected to assist in the raising.
When the pole was finally hoisted banner
bearing the name of Hon. A. Y. Barker for
Judge was floating from the top. To say
that Grouse was mad is putting it yer mild
ly. He ripped, tore and swore vengeance on
the man who had tackled the obnoxious Re
publican banner on his Democratic pole and
Monday morning he employed a man to
shoot it down. The man employed, proved
q very poor marksman and instead Of lower
ing the banner he shot down the flag float
ing a few feet below. Crouses neig hbos
are said to very much enjoy his discomfort
and hope to hear him cheering for Barker

HER SWEET ANGELIC VOICE

fourteen hours to run from Houston to
Shreveport, and then sometimes you are
on the Shreveport bus three hours more.
The Shreveport bus is reckoned all over
the world to be the toughest method Of
travel known. The streets of Shreve-
port have no bottom, and, as in many
other southern cities, thousands of dol
lars worth of bricks, broken stone,
gravel and idiocy are piled on top of this
rapacious and hungry mud hole, only to
disappear in a month or so, and year
after year a hollow chested treasury
sobs upon the bosom of tadpole in
tested street, while the commercial man,
the most dangerous advertiser in the
world, damns these wretched roads in
every city where he registers, and thus
little i'll directed energy damages the
fair fame Of an excellent town.
The bus man showed me where one OF
bis horses would have drowned on the
main street If they had not rescued him
as his head went under for the third
time.
Yesterday on board the trsin we en-
countered the fresh young man. He was
about nineteen and appeared to be talk
ing for publication. You have doubtless
seen the traveller who comes into car
and fills it with his presence, even as the
opening up of box or some precious
ointment of skunk's oil In close room
makes you forget everything else but
the ointment. Well, this youth was
actually telling in all seriousness that
he had put up the night before at
hotel where there was no comb or brush
in his room, and ne had to go down TO
the common wash room TO comb his hair.
But ne will grow up and get married
and have family of his own, and occa-
sionally, as he gets older, he will remem-
Der how he advertised his verdsncy IN
public place, for he was really good
looking young fellow, and his cheeks

angry citizen to the superintendent OF

Yesterday as my wife was getting on tc
one of your horse cars, the conductor

of it."
"Well, SIR" calmly replied the super.
intendent, 81 don't know that we are to
blame for that. What do you expect us
to do, get her new dressf"
"No, sir, I do not" grimly replied the

Locating the Responsibility.

81 take a great deal of credit to my
SELF" said the father, "for the way
Johnny has got on in the world. I have
supervised his studies. looked after his
amusements, assisted him in his choice
of profession, and given him financial
help whenever he has been in tight
place. Whatever success he has in life
he owes to me-"
"He is not very robust, is he" inquired
a friend.
"No; he is puny, little, insignificant
looking, and not at all strong. 1 have
done my duty by that boy" said the
father majestically, ''but physically

located the responsibility for the young
