Daniel Shelley, resident of Richmond

he called on Sanitary Officer Frank this
morning. expecting to get free transporta-
tior to his home. He had been furnished
free ride to that city more than a year

Il can't send you today, the officer told
him, "for the train on which you would
have to go will leave in few minutes,
and I haven't the time to get your ticket"
please do ME this favor" pleaded the
Virginian.
Sanitary officer Frank finally made him
underste nd that he could not send him,
and then the applicant said he was sick.
''Ill send you to the hospital" said Mr.
Frank, and Shelley seemed delighted to
think he was going to be cared for so
we'll until this morning. He said that he
was too sick to go to the hospital in a
street car. and the ambulance was called.
When the hospital was relched Shelley
inform ed one of the sisters that he was not
sick; all he warted, he said, was to be
sent home.
II came to see you about that ticket"
said Shelley, when he reached the office of
the sanitary officer this morning.
And you are not going to get it," he
was promptly tod. Il wouldn't give you a
ticket to Rladensburg."
Shelley left the office to get home in
some manner other than at public ex-
pense.

interesting visit. She comes to ask the
Legislature to buy picture of the Great
Commoner, Zebulon Baird Vance, which
has just been completed by Mr.. Guerry
and will be on exhibition in the capital
to-day. Mrs. Guerry believes that when
North Carolinians see the splendid work
of her husband, they will say they are
compelled to have the picture.
The portrait represents the Senator
seated at ease in handsome chair Of
comfortable dimensions. One hand holds
pair of glasses, the other rests limp in
his lap. He gazes genially out at you,
the slight smile ON his firm mouth seem
ing to prophecy that it is about to open
upon one of those anecdotes which have
travelled around the world. North Caro-
linians who have seen it declare it to be
a speaking likeness. He is dressed in n
suit of blue broadcloth, the coat Prince
