All a Mistake.

Last week three preachers mingled in
the crowd of people looking at the show
window of a large clothing store. While
they were earnestly observing the dis.
play a vigilant detective came to them
and laying his hand on the shoulder OF
one Of the ministers said:
"YOu must go with me-"
"Where?' asked the clergyman.
"To the city hall" replied the detect
i've as he displayed his badge. The
preacher declined to go, but after think
ing over the matter remarked: 'All
right, l will go. l suppose l will look as
well in the city hall as you will" They
had not proceeded far before the detect
i've felt that he had made a mistake. He
excused himself, and the minister walked
away, accompanied by his brother min
listers, who had come to his rescue. This
incident recalls the arrest as a suspected
felon of a well known newspaper man a
few years ago by a prominent detective,
who found the newspaper man sending
off a long telegram.-Louisville Courier

the children of those who have won

unavoidable misfortune, and it may be
taken for granted that the same spirit of
respect for a distinguished name which

secure material help to his daughter in

"BILL ARP" AND BOB VANCE.
The Philosopher Calls the General "Zeb
Vance's Brother"

Vance's Brother"
The Atlanta Constitution prints the
following interview with BILL Arp
The brother of Zeb Vance referred to
is Gen. Robert B. Vance, one of Bun.
cOmbe's representatives in the legisla
ture.

weather beaten cheeks like rain the other

good when l cried.
at was Col. Charles Smith, of Carriers
vile, (Bill Arp, who spoke thus.
"'You see,' he went on to say after a
moments hesitation, / was up in North
Carolina lecturing over the state; just
talking to the good Tar Heel people here
and there about the good old days of
yore, and while in Raleigh the legislature
of the state came to consider a bill to ap
propriate $500 to the erection of a
monument to the Confederate dead of the
state. The ladies had raised $4,000 and
left it with the legislature to give enough
to make out the $4,000 needed. There
were some few watch dogs of the treasury
in the legislature to cry down the senti
ment that attaches to a cause like this,
but the sentiment would come to those
Tar Heels hearts in spite of it. A brother
Of Zeb Vance had the floor and the ladies
who had raised the $4,000 filled the gal
leries. They could lot all get in the gal
~leries, so chairs were placed in the aisles
on the floor of the house for them. 1t
was a scene, and this brother of Zeb
Vance was equal to the emergency. He
is one of the most impassioned orators |
ever listened to, and when he began to
tell a thousand little incidents that had
happened around the camp fires or out
on the field where the hot smell of smoke
and battle came sitting with the breeze

words and tone that found myself as
