COLONEL GRAHAM, OF posEy COUNTY
His JOyless Ride in the Smoker with an
Ungrateful Jerseyman.

Ungrateful Jerseyman.
When Colonel Graham, of Posey
county, Ind, left town for Trenton yes
terday he put in his pocket two of the
best imported cigars that he could buy.
The colonel is confirmed cigarette
smoker, but he always carries cigars for
self protection when he travels. Since
he left Posey county he has developed a
discriminating nose for tobacco. A
rank cigar makes him more peevish
than "knees" in his trousers. There are
few smokers Of bad cigars who will not
throw away half burned stump to &C.
cept one of the colonel's good cigars,
with the graceful apology that always
goes with it.
why, do you know" said Colonel
Graham the other day, there are no
cigars in Indiana so rank as those that
are smoked in New Jersey. They are
the brand that will kill vegetation. and
I always carry cigar or two to give
away on the smoking car. Why, it's
enough to make man fretful."
Colonel Graham's seat in the smoker
was shared yesterday by man with no
taste in tobacco. He shifted contemptu-
ously at the colonel's cigarette, and
pulled contentedly at very bad cigar
with dark, shiny wrapper. Colonel
Graham was growing seasick. He threw
away his cigarette, and drawing cigar
from his pocket said to the man beside
him:
pardon cfr hY1f 10
you for light
Sure, Mike, replied the man, and he
handed Colonel Graham a cigar that
had just been lighted. Colonel Ora
ham carefully lighted his own cigar,
and with apparent observation-disclosures
tossed the other out of the window.
well, I'll be-
NO, don't" interrupted Colonel Ora
ham, Il really wasn't thinking what
was doing. Please accept one Of my
cigars and permit me 10 offer an apol-
ogy. / am very absentminded-at times
The man looked at the cigar the colo
mel gave him and said:
Looks pretty good. Better'n mine,
guess. l pay three dollars a hundred
for mine"
THAT cigar cost twenty-five dollars a
hundred, and is pretty fair, think"
replied the colonel.
HIM" said the man as he bit the
end off. Then he leaned over and said
will you give me light now
Colonel Graham offered his cigar
The man lighted his own from it with
chuckles Of satisfaction. Then he leaned
back comfortably and tossed Colonel
Graham's cigar out Of the window.
why, you
Don't, said the man. when think
of the tariff on cigars go into trance.
and I'm not responsible for what do.
Let me offer you one Of my cigars" and
he pulled out one Of the three dollar a
hundred brand and handed it to Colonel
Graham.
why, you
Now, don't, l say" interrupted the
man. This is my station, but you can
get light from the man in front Much
obliged for your smoke. Goodby," and
he was off the car.
Colonel Graham returned to New
York last night and announced that his
system was shattered. Hereafter be
will ride in the drawing room car and
smoke cigarettes York Sun

PROF. R. w. HOOKER
Dies After Brief ILLNESS a
Dover.
The Remains Shipped to Wilson County
for Interment-A Man Well Known
In C.arksville.

Prof. r. w. Hooker, who was
known to many Clarksville people,
died yesterday at Dover, whittier he
went some three weeks ago to take
charge Of the Dover high school. For
the past three years Prof. Hooker
had been in charge of the college at
Pleasant View, and had done much
good there for the cause of education,
He was a teacher to the manner born,
having spent the greater part OF his
life in the school-room. He married
Miss Hughes, of Allensville, KY,
sister to Mrs. John Adams, of this
city. Mrs. Hooker survives her hus-
band, with one daughter, who is just
budding into womanhood.
Prof. Hooker was native of Will
son county, and the remains were
shipped there for interment. They
passed here last evening on the north
bound passenger train. Mrs. Adams
received the sad news after the train
had passed here, but went to Guthrie
by hack, where she caught the party
and accompanied them to Wilson
county to attend the burial.

THEY WANT A BRIDGE.
People of the Fourth District Want
Plney Fork Spanned.

The citizens of the Fourth district
are clamorlng for bridge over Piney
Fork on the Lafayette road near AS
bury church. The bridge is needed
and from what Judge Tyler said to q
reporter this morning they will have
1t at no distant day. This bridge pro-
iect has been before the County
court on several occasions and at one
time an appropriation was condition
ally passed. The conditions upon
which the appropriation was made
was that parties who will be directly
benefited by the bridge should SUBJ
scribe to the enterprise. Some OF
them agreed to do this, but when
they were called on to put down the
cash they failed to respond. Thus
the bridge was lost. This defeat,
however, did not dampen the ardor
of the friends of the project. They
have been working on it early and
late since, and there is little doubt
that they will be successful this time.
w. FL. Converse, who will be here
some time this month, wants to build
this bridge as soon as he gets the
Gracey- Woodward bridge completed.
He can do the work some 5000 cheap
er at that time, from the fact that he
will have his machinery all Ia the
county, and 1t is highly probable that
the contract will be given him. The
bridge is needed by the people Of the
community, and If it is built 1t will
not only benefit them, but It will also
benefit the city. Good br dges and
better roads are what Montgomery
county needs, and it Is encouraging
to note The interest the County court
is taking in this direction.
