HARD ON QUIZ BOYS.

A dispatch from Washington says
a rather funny incident happened
IN the lobby of the National Hotel
last week. A tall, raw boned
Texan was kicking vigorously on
the fact that his humble petition to
serve the government had been
rejected, and that he would be
obliged to go back to the Texan
wilds once more officeIess. "Why,
said he, "durn my skin il there
amt more West Virg' mans here
than Texans, and I'll wager that
the little mountain State will got
more offices. Texas is about
sixteen times larger than West vir-
gInia. and rolled up majority for
Cleveland that left West Virginia
in the shade, but You bet, there's
about fifty West Virginlans down
here to get Offices to one Texan,
and you can't go square without
meetin' whole batch of 'em.
They're the greediest people l ever
saw" and he walked out disguised
and angry to find out when the
next train left town. ~ Weston
Times.

The investigation of the Weather
bureau has 80 far been confined to
che charges against employees of
stealing from the bureau, which
have been more than proven by the
evidence. The next charge to be
taken mp will be that Of violating
the Civil Service law by employing
incompetent men at fancy salaries
and promoting others for no better
reason than th.t they were favorites
Of some high official or his friends.

A WEST VIRGINIA GIANT.

AT Alum Bridge, between hero
and Weston, there is a 16-year-old
boy by the name of Judson Wool
ter. who is six feet and eight inches
tall and weighs over 200 pounds.
Woofter was six feet tall at thirteen.
A story is told of him that upon
one OCCASION when a minister was
preaching at Alum Bridge, some
boys who were. standing upon a
bench were ordered down. All
obeyed with. the apparent exception
of young Woofter. The order was
repeated, and still, to all appear
ances, the lad remained standing
upon the bench, while q general
litter arose from the congregation.
This made the good minister, to
whom Woofter was unknown, hot
under the collar and he strobe for
ward with fire in his eye to thru, t
him forth. His ire suddenly cooled
off when he saw Woofter standing
beside the other boys with q COM
Placept smile on his good natured
face, and he turned with bow to
the merry congregation and said it
was his treat. = Pathfinder.

THAT CURIOUS TUNE.

was staying in the mountains at farmhouse,
in this state.
For week or two, last summer. and whene'er
sat up late
On the porch. with chair back-tilted. musing, as
/ love TO do.
Out would come the honest farmer for talk,
when chores were through
Sometimes he would speak Of pcrs3zs WHO had
stayed there years before.
And he laugh and tell with fervor How that
MAJ Jones did snorei'
Or. If you had seen Miss jenkins. with her
black hair all awry.
Shown OF her crazy painun's where the water
looked Ike sky"
So grew to wait his coming with an interest at
last,
Fer he always had a story of some happ'ning in
the past
When Glanced TO speak OF music. THAT re-

Sure enough, heard the organ; but that didn't
make IL clear
Why man should like the parlor better than
our outside here.
"Then l thought I'D have to ask him what it

There he sat before the organ, plSyIn IN some
