A Drummer Tells What He Saw In a
Railroad laru.

yard at OttumWa, Ia.," said the drum

certain death for the switchman and
a trial Of the engineer for murder.
"Ihey went out into the yard to set

slippery and the track full OF hard

engine back a quarter for start we
tried to get the fool off the track, but
he was armed with a car pin and stood

!. HAD TO RESURRECT HIM.

Novelist Du Terrail Forgot That He Had
Killed One of His Characters.
"A great master OF the art OF throwing
of stories by daily instaliments was
Ponson du Terrail. When he was at
the height OF his vogue, says the Boston
Transcript, he kept three running ut
the same time in different papers. His
fertile imagination was never at loss,
but his memory frequently was. He
was apt to forget to-day what he did
with hero or heroine yesterday. 10
help his memory he at first noted down
briefly in copy books what happened to
his men and women, but finding that
often he could not read his own writ
ing he invented a new system. He pro-
cured little leaden figures, on which he
gumnled the names Of his characters as
tLeS' were born. Surprising there were
three stories running, there We're three
sets OF figures in different drawers,
When character was settled off the
little man or woman in lead was taken
away from its companion and laid
aside.
One day when Ponson du Terrail was
all behind in his work he set himself TO
his task without examining the slain.
His bad memory led him into terrible
blunder. Lie had forgotten that he had
killed Rocumbole-thc still famous
Hocambole-in the previous feuillrtou.
and to the great surprise OF the reader
he made him talk again as if nothing
out OF the common had bef;lcn him,
This rcsuscitation Of Rocambole is one
OF the most curious things in the his
tory OF the romans-feuiIlcton.

The experiences Of young men who
are anxious to enter the newspaper
business because they think they are
born journalists on the strength Of the
TACT that they used to write good com
positions when they went to school
have been an inexhaustible theme for
the professional joke maker from time

will show:

detailed the other day to go out and
write up a fight that had occurred III
the northwestern part Of the city, and
IN the course of his hunt for facts he
ran across q busy young man who

IN Octopus In Nhiskcy.

~ Mr.. Little, who livcs'ncar Chest

two ar three weeks ago, while in
Gainesville, bought halt pint OF
blind tiger whiskcy. He and his
brother, who was with him at the
time, drank little over half of the
stuff, and upon arriving at home hid
out the remainder to get morning
nip. Next morning, bright and
early, he went out to where he had
left the flask, but when he picked it
up to empty the contents where they
would do the most good, he noticed
a small gray substance, about as large
as pea, floating around in the bot
tie. lie eyed the contents very criti-
cally and with pang Of regret at
being .,knocked out of his morning
dram, he corked the bottle and laid
1T away to await developments. The
thing began growing and growing
rapidly. 1t is said to have grown
until it has almost filled the bottle,
and IS of toughness akin to riibber.

A WONDER.

A wonderfully ingenious, yet simple
and inexpensive device for seeding
ralslns may be purchased at the hard.
ware and general stores. 1t is the En-
terprise Raisin Seeder. Made in two
sizes, the smaller or family size will
seed a pound in five minutes, while the
larger size, intended for hotels, etc.,
will seed q pound a minute. Though
1t will seed either wet or dry raisins, it
Is better to wet them. The washing
that every careful ~housekeeper insists
upon will wei them sufficiently, when
the seeder will remove every seed with.

the taxpayers do as he, the Auditor,
does. Judging others, that did not re-
port, by Beaufort and Pamlico, we
would say that they were so hopelessly
in debt that they were ashamed to re-
port. l was in Pamlico county at the
the County Alliance meeting the 2nd
Thursday in July, and they had not,
up to that time, apporJionat the pub
lie school fund, which should have
been done in December or January, on
account of not having the funds on
hand. That's the way we g prosper
ity(0. and in this country more than
900 we're put on the delinquent list
about 25 per cent. of the voters not
able to pay their taxes. If that is
prosperity, we'd like to be delivered
from prosperity. 1t is with regret that
l make these statements, but necessity
compels them now talking about how
the Register of Deeds use to be busy
recording mortgages, and is not at 1t
now; that the people are paying their
debts instead of contracting more.
When the people already have what

bids for mail contracts according to

The Charlestown Nv. Va Advocate,

along without wearing a collar, has
this to say:
The farmers and the Democratic
party had just as well realize at ICE
tnaG there is but one overshadow1ng
q testion in American politics and that
is the financial question. The pros
perity of the whole country is bound
up in it. Business of the country has
been going to the devil aver since silver
was degraded. At first the decline was
gradual, but as years went by and the
grade became more decided, the ND
m9ntum was increased and every In
dustry went a whooping. The bottom
has not yet been reached. The worst
has not yet been realized. 1t Is I'M
possible for times to get better and for
prosperity to return under existing
conditions. How can a nation recu-
perate when it persists in following a
policy which wrecked it9 r 9torma-
ton is necessary. IT'S useless to can't
about manufacturing plants starting
up. They will all have to shut down.
This is inevitable, because the CON
