DR.. Story, the father of the great chief
justice. was a man OF sterling common
sense and genuine kindness. One Illus
tration Of his method Of family govern
ment indicates that he must have been
greatly beloved for his sympathy with
bOyish fun.
One evening after the family had gone
to bed the elder boys rose, dressed them
selves and crept softly down into the
Kitchen. They built roaring fire In
the great Fireplace. skirmished about the
pantry, and having secured a plentiful
supply Of provisions, prepared to make
a night OF it,"
Suddenly, TO their dismay, knock was
heard at the door. They put out the
light, hid the food and concealed them
selves about the room as best they could.
The fathers step was heard on the stairs,
and IN moment he entered, bearing q
lamp.
The smell OF food attracted his atten-
ton, and glancing around he saw the
leg OF boy protruding from under the
table. Without word he marched
straight 10 the door. and admitted his
visitor. who had come TO consult him
professionally.
The two sat down before the fire and be-
gan talking together, but after a time a
scrambling noise was heard under the
table, and this the visitor commented on.
"Ah," said the DOCTOR didn't you know
We keep a dogy'
When the visitor took his leave the
doctor retired and left the boys 10 their
fun. He advised his wife TO discourage
such raids in the future. thouh he had
not the heart to put an end to such hearty
enjoyment when IL was actually in pro-
Eress.-Youth's Companion.

THE COMING LKGI>LArURE.
Tho Election OF United States Senator
Counting the Vote for Governor.


Seated in the office Of the Clerk of the
House Of Delegates, where bright fire
greeted me yesterday. was Colonel John
Bell Bigger, busy with his correspondence
and preparation Of joint rules for the gov
eminent of the two houses, when they VIII
meet in joint assembly 10 elect a United
States Senator and 10 count the votes
for Governor ana Lieutenant overnor, re-
spectively.
The United States law requires at least
one vote TO be taken for a United States
Senator on the second Tuesday after the
organization OF the Legislature, but no
special reference is made as 10 the time
for the election of a United States Sena-
tor to fill a vacancy The Virginia law
says the commission by the Governor
shall expire within thirty days after the
meeting OF the General Assembly. Colo
mel Bigger thinks 1t will be well enough to
vote for a United States Senator TO ill
the vacancy on the same day that a
United States Senator shall be voted for
TO hold for the full term and he has
drafted a resolution so providing
In regard 10 the counting OF votes for
Governor and Lieutenant no
particular time is fixed or that important
action OF the Legislature, but, Of course,
IL will have 10 take place before January
!, as the terms Of office Of these officials
begin on January l next. Governor Nc
Kinney and Lieutenant-Go Governor Tyler,
elected four years ago, by request OF the
Legislature took the oath of Office In the
Hall of the House Of Delegates In the
presence of the Senate and House, and II
the two houses do not conformity take a
Christmas recess to continue after Janu-
airy l, II may be, that Governor elect O.
M n
Kent may be requested to do likewise.
The Clerk OF the House OF Delegates is
authorized to select seats for members OF
the House and ne has adopted a rule,
that persons who are returned and also
who were members during the session Of
1922 can retain the same seats they
then occupied, but Of course have the
right 10 apply for others.
State Senator T. NJ. Dunn. OF the Seven
teenth Senatorial District. has resigned
and the Governor has issued writs Of cleo
ton, his successor TO be elected on Tues
day succeeding the first Monday in Nov
ember 1898. Senator Dunn, who represent
ed Albemarle county, the city Of Chariot
tesvil1e and Green county, rendered his
resignation. which IS 10 take effect at
once, for the reason that he has accepted
an appointment, under the federal COVER
ment which had been rendered him by
Captain Ham Shepherd, Internal Revenue
Collector or the Western District Of this
State. In as much as the terms of office
or State Senators in the odd districts ex-
pre at the end of this year, an election In
the Seventeenth District in November
next would have been necessary. In view
Of the fact, however. that the law REQUIRES
the Governor TO issue a writ OF election
whenever vancy occurs it was deemed
best TO proceed In this manner in
Senator Dunn's case.

BEIGH1-1oBAcCO RAIsERS.
An Excursion of North Carolina Planters
and "A Big Sale of the Weed

A number Of well-to-do looking farmers
from North Calolina were on the streets
yesterday afternoon. They are bright
tobacco raisers from Wilson, Edgecombe,
Nash and other counties OF that Stale.
and they are here 10 sell bright tobacco
large shipments OF which had been made
by them to this market in advance of
their coming.
A special train OF nine coaches arrived
over the Atlantic Coast line about 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon bringing some
four hundred excursionists, including the
tobacco planters.
The excursion train is In charge OF Mr..
A. ~ Daniel. of Wilson. N. c., and viii
return this afternoon.
All the warehouses are full of the vel
low weed and there will be a great sale
thls morning which buyers are urged TO
attend. 1T is an opportunity 10 do good
for the Richmond market and should
be improved.

THE DISPATCH AND oTHELLO.

The Dispatch, in thanking heaven that
at is not literary" says: but II re-
quires an artistic taste. a cultivated
mind, and high style 10 appreciate
things like othello." The Dispatch is
probably right, and that may explain
why The Times admires and the Dis
patch abhors the play.
The Dispatch has now somewhat broad
ened it's edict OF condemnation. 1t would
now send Paradise Lost" TO the King
Of Dahomey along with "Othello." Does
our neighbor intend to abridge our lit
and the Dispatch?

Biden on 0thcllO.

Editor Of The Times: Allow me to offer
you my congratulations on your defence
Of one Of my greatest favorites. Your
editorial this morning doubtless found Its
way 10 the hearts of almost all true low
ers OF Shakespeare who had the privilege
OF reading IT, OF all the English-speaking
critics. L am persuaded that Macaulay IS
the greatest and Macaulay says that
Othello lis perhaps the greatest work In
the world" Macaulay had an intimate
and extensive knowledge Of the great
masterpieces OF Greek, Latin, italian and
Spanish literature. and his literary taste
was of the highest order and OF the broad
est catholicity. I confess that, upon the
merits of any work with which he was
familiar I would rather trust his judy
ment than that OF any man now living.
Whether Hamlet. Macbeth or Othello
deserves the first place among the dramas
Of all the ages,-that is, which Of the
three is best-I should consider 1t rash
for me to decide but no other dramatist
that / have ever read has produced any
play which is in my judgment, at all
comparable to either OF them. And as TO
the very important matter Of moral tone.
! am acquainted with few works (outside
Of the Bibie) which in the same space,
furnish so many valuable moral lessons.

Cheap Enough at the Price.

A Brooklyn preacher who has been
considerably advertised of late related
an incident recently which many peo-
pie may not yet have heard. He said
that a man who had not been to
church in very long time finally
hearkened to the persuasions of his
wife and decided to go. He got the
family all together and started early.
Arriving at the church they were yet
very few people in it and no ushers on
hand, so the man led his family we'll
up the aisle and took possession of a
nice pew.
Just as the services were about to
| begin pompous-looking old man came
in, walked to the door of that pew and
stood there, exhibiting evident sur
prise that it was occupied. The oc-
cupants moved over and offered him
room to sit down but he declined to
| be seated. Finally the old man pro-
duced a card and wrote upon it with a
pencil:
Il pay for this pew"
He gave the card to the stranger oc-
| cupant, who, the preacher remarked,
had he been like many people, would
| have at once got up and left. But the
stranger adjusted his glasses and with
smile read the card. Then he calm
| ly wrote beneath it:
"How much do you pay?"
To this the pompous gentleman, still
standing, wrote abruptly:
Two hundred dollars year, SIR"
The stranger smiled as though he
were pleased, looked around to COM
pare the pew with others, admired its
nice cushion and furnishings and wrote
back:
81 don't blame you. 1t is well worth
it."
The pompous gentleman at that
stage collapsed into his seat. IN. Z.

We find we have much too large a
stock of Carpets to carry over. In or.
der to reduce it, we have decided to
make horizontal reduction that
will move them at once.
We are not prone to indulgence in
sensational head lines or extravagant
boasting, but " at this time and place"
positively assert that we shall place
lower prices on Carpets han they were
ever before sold for in Portage County
"a bona .fide cost basis
"There is reason in all things" and
our reason for this sacrifice in price is
that we want the room for our Fall
stock.
Now is your opportunity. You will
scarcely have another such an one in

purchases in the line of Carpets.
We mention in particular our large
