boOU story IS tOld ia Sherlu-elect
Campbell Richards. He. with some OF
the other successful county candidates.
went recently TO Cambridgcboro Springs,
Pa. FOR the purpose OF rccupera,ing ar
ter the labors OF the campaign Among
the party were VIII Bodiey. County
Chairman Jim" Hall. Circuit Clerk
elect Charley" Hennis and BILLY"
Meyer. who succeeds John Howard next
month. While At Cambridseboru all
the boys enjoyed themselves hugely with
the exception OF MIR. Richards, who was
worried By receiving every day heavy
mail. made up principally OF letters from
Wheelingites who were ANXIOUS TO serve
under the sheriff as jallor or deputy.
The sheriff was BEGINNING thinner
every day under the strain which he had
hoped TO elude when he left Wheeling,
but the climax was not yet at hand.
One bright frosty morning HennlnS,
Meyer and Bodley got together and de-
cided to have some fun with the sheriff.
Bodlcy and Meyer went to the telegraph
Office 10 fix up a bogus telegram. while
HenninS proposed walk 10 Richards
and Hall. The scheme worked so well
that when the Wheeling party gathered
AZ the breakfast table, there was already
there In advance OF them one OF those
familiar little yellow envelopes that the
telegraph companies affect AS IL was at
Mr.. Richards plate, 1t followed that 1t
was addressed to him. The sheriff tore
1t open with such haste and avldity that
there is well founded suspicion that ne
expected TO hear fom some one on some
other subject. Richards read the mis-
giNsa ya q. nd tu1,UnA
one OF his companions. This Is what Il
said:

Richards nearly tainted and wanted
TO start for Wheeling At once: said he
had come to the conclusion there was
nothing to be gained In the way OF peace
and quiet by remaining away. After
the jokers had had all the fun they
wanted, one was kind enough to tell all
about Il. but strange 10 say MIR. Rich
ards would not believe 1t was a joke
During the entire day he was 50 nervous
that he looked around In scared kind
of manner whenever the railroad bus
drove uD TO the hotel. II would not
have surprised him in the least had Cap
tain Doyener and Sam SlaOn hove in
sight.
Among we'll known railroad men
In town yesterday were j. W. Cole. Of the
Chica goNireat Western. and Charles T.
johnson. OF the Northern Pacific. both Of
them being district passenger agents
Railroad men. like many other persons.

amateur photography, and on his travels
he has pressed the button" thousands
Of times. until now he has one OF che
finest collections OF views in the country
Several months ago he took picture OF
Cole, and the boys az the Pan Handle
ticke. office In this city got i copy. Ed.
Schoen. who Ia never happy unless he is
making somebody uncomfortable, cut
out the prin; in the shape nf coffin and
pasted II in the part OF the ticket case

and inscribed 1t Two Of a kinda dead
road; "A dead man When Cole walked
in and greeted SchOen yesterday. he
glanced at the old familiar corner in the
ticket "a bfnet. hoping 10 see that bust
ness out OF Wheeling for the Maple
Leaf had been good since his last visit,
What he did see was something else.
Really. though. 1t would be distressing
to say what happened afterward.
Some say good quality OF hutterinc Is
as good as the best Of old fashioned but
ter. Yesterday a bSarJer a: a certain
hotel in WheelinG-and they say none of
the hotels uses butter-was heard to re-
mark:
There's one thing l like about this
house. They have such good butter; so
yellow and nice; just like that You see
up in York state. No sir. Nr. -
wouldn't use. this COMPOUNDED butterine
you see nearly everywhere around here.
l quit a house only the other day just on
account OF the "oleo" they served. But
this covering slice Of bread with some
of the Yellow. Is like She butter your
mother used TO make"
Now, II the Intelligencer were to give
the brand OF the particular butterine the
young man had enthuSed over, Il would
be a good advertisement for-its makers.
and would be classed under the head of
New Advertisements" So the brand
is not mcntIoned-but 1t was butterine,
just the same.
