He Felt the Electricity.

Twas riding up Fulton street, Brooklyn,
on surface trolley car when "a fresh ar
rival in this country, who carried the map
Of Ireland on his face, made frantic rush
from the sidewalk and climbed aboard
He took a seat opposite me that had just
been vacated by mischievous looking boy
The moment he was seated | noticed he
gave start of surprise and establishment,
seeming on the point of rising again, but
seeing me regarding him settled back with
look of resignation.
1t soon became evident the Irishman did
not sit at all comfortably, for he hitched
about and looked around at the other pas
sengers in an inquiring manner. Finally
he leaned over toward me, put his hand to
his mouth and observed in n hoarse whisper;
'Begobs, this electricity is mighty quare
falling stool"
l could not repress a smile as | asked;
do you feel the electricity"
"Oi should say Oh didp' he answered,
with emphasis, as he wiped the perspiration
from his face with the back of his hand
An don't yez fale it at all at all9"
Not bit"
'"Thot's quare, but Oi think it's because
it's me first rode on wan av these things.
Oi'll git used to it in tonne"
Still he actually seemed to be suffering
intense torture, but he had paid his fare,
and he held on as long as he could When
| stopped the car to get off, he decided to
follow my example. On reaching the
ground he stood for moment as if doubt
ing his Senses and then he reached around
beneath the tail Of his coat and extracted
fiat headed carpet tack from his person.
A look of the most intense disgust came
over his face when he saw the cause of his
torture.
IAN was it thot Oh was settin ony" he
cried, with n twist of his Irish mug. BE
gorra, Oh thought it was the electricity all

Once at "A Time,

Once at n Time.
A good story IL told on certain western
congressman, who came to Washington the
first time officially at the opening of the
present session. One night during the re
cent rainy season the representative was
walking along the avenue in the vicinity
of Sixth street at "A very late hour IL was
raining hard, the cable cars had stopped
for the night, and there were few people on
the streets. The congressman was hurry
ing to his hotel, tightly grasping an UNI
| hrella, which was pulled down over his
shoulders. As he neared Sixth street he
noticed an elderly little woman standing
on the corner, heavily bundled up and hold
ing WORKOUT parasol over her head. As
he approached the woman she said:
Mister, will You please tell me how to
get to Georgetowny I'm u stranger in the
city and want to 20 to my sons house"
"Georgetownr' exclaimed the congress.
man. why, my good woman, you are
two or three miles from there, and the cars
have stopped running. You had better
take a cab"
us it so far as that" inquired the poor
woman "Then I'll have to walk, for
have no money" and she sighed heavily as
she drew her thin shawl more tightly over
her shoulders
Inc ldWInHktTS neHrU was tOuCneu. He
probably thought of one of his own family
in similar predicament. Diving into his
trousers pocket, he said:
Let me assist you, madam. Here are
81. Now you walk over to the depot and
hire a cab to take you to your sons house"
He pressed the money into the woman's
wet hand and hurried ON his way, while she
murmured, God bless you, kind sir"
They say that the generous congressman
slept better than usual that night, and that
even the next day he had not finished feel
ing good" over his kind act. Three nights
afterward about the same hour the same
congressman was again walking along the
avenue. 1t was a clear, cold night, and be-
ing engrossed in deep study he did not
know anybody was near him until the fig
ure of woman stood in his path, and he
heard her say:
Please, sir, can you tell me the way to
Georgetown"
| CHANGING at the features of the speaker

woman he had befriended a few nights be-
fore, and as he cast frowning glance at

SOME ODD STORIES.
INTERESTING TALES OF ADVENTURE
ON SEA AND LAND.

The Rush Into Oklahoma and the Struggle
For a Valuable Claim-A Burly Negro
Gets Ahead of a woman and Then De
tends Her Rights,
copyright, 1928, by American Press Associa-
toni
Settlers who were in the Oklahoma
rushes relate many interesting stories of
their adventures which were pathetic, trag-
10 or humorous as the case might be.
Many women were among the daring ones
who raced for lots and claims, and they
took their chances with the men.
Among those who sought claims in the
Sac and Fox country was a poor widow
named Dixon She had previously spotted
a valuable claim, and she made for it in
the very van of the boomers. Having a
good horse, she felt confident of arriving at
the desired locality before any one else.
As the settlers spread out, the widow
found herself racing neck and neck with a
burly negro, who was mounted on wiry
Indian pony and seemed to be heading in
the same direction as the woman. At first
she thought little of this as it was not
likely he had chosen the same claim as her.

There were five of us passengers in the

There were four men. The fifth passen-

Hon. Geo. ID. Wise May Enter the Race for
the United States Senatorship.
RICHMOND, March 2O.-It is probable
that Hon. George D. Wise. Represents.
tive from this district, will enter the
race for the United States Senatorship.
Mr.. Wise's friends think that he would
make an exceptional strong candidate.
He has not yet consented to allow the
use of his name in this connection.
MIR. Wise, though, believes that this
section of the State is entitled to the
Senatorship. If tho Representative
from this district enters tho field it will
add to the complications and increase
the doubtfulnesS CT the result of the
contest Mr.. Wise is quite strong in
this portion OF the commonwealth, and
if he completes for the prize would di-
vide the strength of Gen. Fitz Lee, Mr..
Thomas Martin, General Horton and
the other candidates whose names have
already been announced in come ction
with the seat in the Senate.
General Lee is extremely popular in
this city, and if Mr.. Wise is kept out OF
the contest would easily secure the
Richmond delegatise in the two
branches of the Legislature If Mr.
Wise runs the result IS quite sure to be
different, and with the chances of that
gentloman's making great inroads upon
the strength OF tho other candidates.
not only here, but throughout the
metropolitan district as we'll as in
other portions of the State.
Colonel O'Ferrall is expected horo
one day this week to have a conference
with his friends as to the management
of his candidacy for the gubernatorial
nomination. AS tho colonel has as
yet no formidable opposition the com
binations for the Senatorship and for
members OF the supreme court of ap.
peals arc not likely TO apprecably
affect his interest That those comb
nations will be made is no secret.

Cant Bs Closed
CHICAGO, May 29.-On application Of
Stockholdsr CiinRman. Judge Stein OF the
superior court this morning issued tom
porary injunction to restrain the directors
Of the worlds fair from closing the gates
on Sunday.
The point on which the injunction was
granted Was Clineman's 3 claim ~ citisen
and taxpayer. The court held that, as the
parks are set apart for tho recreation OF
the public forever, the park commissiou-
ers had no power to grant the privtlegev
nor the exposition managers to sxsrclss
II. Of closing the gates on Sunday.
The suit on which the injunction vas
granted was flled by Clingmau several
days ago as stockholder in the exposition
and an . citizen. This Is q proceetine In
the state court. and entirely distinct from
that begun Saturday By the United States
district attorney In the federal court.
Judge Stsin held that congress had made
mo- Law compelling Sunday closing.
Tho court said that In tho act OF con
gress creating the exposition Il was ex-
prcssiy provided that no rule or regulation
conflicting with the state Law Of Illinois
should b enforced. Under this Law The
whole Of Jackson park can bs thrown opeu
to tho public on al days OF tho week.
Later. the fsir management accepted the
appropriation providing for Sunday clos
ing. This constituted . legal contrast
and the gates could be kept CLOSED
under Il. but later congress withdrew
from the agreement by Withholding Q part
Of the appropriation. Tho fair authosi-
ties di d not accept this additional c0ndi-
a.. "a st,is r,nia~asl thar. frr,sus thn
