1t has not been a great while since a
tornado swept through St Louis, leaving
death and destruction in it's path. A few
days ago theatrical advance agent caus-
ed the city to be plastered with cards
bearing the heading: Notwithstanding
"A Tornado is Coming" The card was
embellished with pictures of flags, like
those of the weather bureau, and upon
cursory examination it looked like an Off
cial document. The effect was electrical
People began to prepare for trouble Some
OF them went into cyclone cellars. The
truth came out after a while, and then
there was Indignation The agent, fortu-
nately, had left town. There is law
against issuing fraudulent and unauthor-
lied weather predictions, under a penalty
of 500 fine. 1t is question whether the
agents offense would come under the
law. But there IS scarcely a question
that when his company strikes the town
it will get either freezing reception or a
very hot one.

The Montgomery Advertiser evidently
does not appreciate humor as it says:
If ex-senator Walsh's jokes, through the
Associated Press cannot be understood for
lack of a diagram, how would it do for
the distinguished Georgian to use less of
the Geographic facilities and let his say
ings get out in the good old way, of being
copied when worthy of that recognition"
Our contemporary really ought not to be
so harsh. good thing is always timely
and the American people are always ready
for a joke. By way of showing that Mr.
Walsh's jokes do not need a diagram
we quote one just printed in the Pittsburg
Dispatch: United States Senator Walsh
of Georgia, was once in Pittsburg and
was approached by reporter who told
him he looked like a congressman. No
am no congressman answered the Geor-
gian. his eyes a-twinkle. No, I'm no con-
gresham I sell patent medicines 4" We
hope the point of this is clear, even to the
Montgomery Advertiser.

ShERlOAN'S FIRST RIDE.
A John Gnpin Performance Which Showed
Young PhIlh Pluck.

Young PhilB Pluck,
The following story was told by tho
Rev. J. 7. Headloy, historian and biog-
raphcr of many of the heroes of the war,
in regard 70 boyhood experience Of
General Sheridan:
At five years of age he was playing
near his home when some lads came
along and amused themselves with the
wide awake boy 4 horse was feeding
IN an adjacent lot
phil, would you like a rido?" they
said to him.
"Yes. Give me one"
In few moments the boy was ON the
animals back. The sudden and uncere-
monious mounting of the young rider
startled the steed, and away he ran.
"Whoa Whoap shouted the lads,
but In vain.
Over the fence the animal sprang,
and once on the highway 1t was a John
Gilpin performance. Phil clung to the
name, while the sobered authors of the
race turned pale with apprehension of
tragic end TO it, expecting to see him
dashed to the earth and killed But
cut Of sight vanished both steed and
rider, and miles soon intervened be-
tween the two parties
Suddenly the borse turned into the
shed of a tavern, where it's owner had
frequently stopped in his travels Men
came out, and, recognizing the horse,
questioned the boy. One Of the curious
company, after securing the foaming
animal, which had neither saddle nor
bride, inquired of the unterrifed Phil;
"Who taught you to rideT'
Nobody" answered the boy.
"Did no one teach you how to sit on
u horse?" asked another.
ooh. yes. Bill Seymour told me tc
hold on with my knees, and did"
Wasn't you frightened?"
"Nary bit l wanted to go farther,
but the horse wouldn't go"
"Ain't you sore?"
Kinder, but I'll be better tomorrow,
and then I'll ride back home"
"That boy" said the Questioner,
"has pluck enough TO be an Indian
hInter.
The owner Of the nag turned up not
long afterward, In search Of his proper
ty He said that the animal was vi
cious and had thrown more than one
experienced horseman. - New Yorl

war. When he was mustered out In 1865
he returned to Webster and bought
farm land in that vicinity, which he has
titled ever since, with the exception of
q term which he served in congress.
In 1892 he ran against Maj. John f..
Lacey for the Office and won. He was
then, as now, most ardent advocate
of free silver, and those farmers in his
district who agreed with him In that
opinion gave him their most hearty
support. He made a stir In the Fifty
second congress by fiery speech on
his pet topic, and when he returned to
his home he was sure that his next cleo
tion would be easier than his first, But
in this he was sadly mistaken, for Maj.
Lacey opposed him again, and this time
defeated him. Congressman Lacey
again defeated him last fall, but these
defeats only served to strengthen his
hold with the free silver minority in the
state, and he was soon talked of for gov
ernor. Hamilton county, of which Web
ster is the seat, was the first county to
declare for Boies for the presidency.
Mr.. White is not popular with his party
leaders, but is very strong with the
rank and file of the free silverites.

the plalnest food to sppease her hun
ger.
An appeal for did TO her wealthy con-
nections, the Hurtingtons, by Olga, 1t Is
claimed, resulted in u request that she
be careful not to disclose her identity,
and a second plea for assistance was re-
warded with ten-dollar bill.
According TO the story told by Olga's
mother, Annie Baker, Count Edmund
Won Hatzfeldt was forced to leave Ger
many for fighting a duel and breaking
the laws. In New York he married an
American woman, who soon died Later
he married beautiful half-Tndian girl,
and, being freed from her by divorce,
married Anna Auer, a well-known ac-
tress. Their child was Olga, the young
countess. The count lost all his money
in theatrical ventures, and Is now liv-
Ing at Evansville, Ind.
Olga's mother obtained a divorce
from her husband, securing the custody
of her child, and she married Willis
Baker, an actor. The family has met
with many reverses, and now finds 1t
hard 70 secure enough to eat.
This little girl was told by her mother
never to reveal her true name, and she
was brought up for the stage. She met
with poor success and of late has been
singing IN concert halls. Her mother,
spurred on by her needs, finally made
an appeal to Coils P. Huntington, and
was referred by him to his wife, who
gave her ten dollars on her second visit
Mrs. Huntington, according 70 Mrs
Baker, requested that the connection
be kept a secret
Mr.. Huntington, when asked for g
confirmation of the story, said he knew
pothing beyond the mothers state
ment. He declared the child could have
no claim on him or his family, and saiG
his wife had simply helped her because
she was in need.

Mrs. stoves Hartford Home.

"At the patriarchal age Of 85, writes
Richard Burton in The Ladies' Home
Journal Of Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe,
this woman, this great writer and

part Of the town, known as Asylum
hill, the most popular section for resi-
dences Of the better sort, is situated
Forest street, short and beautifully tree
lined, running off south at right angles
from the stately Pennington avenue.

ness. Forest street is true to its name,
for as one passes along 1t great trees
and ample grounds, with no fences and
a general effect Of unspoiled nature,
come into view. The contiguous estates
of Charles Dudley Warner and his

"MIDDLE.op.THE.RoAD."


ish expression, as it means that those to
whom il applies will not act with either
of the two political parties, although
these very middle men approve the lead
ing issues advocated by one party and
which are opposed by the other.
Let us recur to the recent past and
consider the present and future. Last
year there were two political parties,
one championed by William Mckinley
and the other by William ]. Bryan. The
former was the candidate of the mon
opolists, trusts, goldocracy and of high |
tariff taxation.
In Ohio and in other states the same
parties are now arrayed against each
other on the same lines. The Republi-
can is the party of the Mckinley ad-
ministration and the other the PARTY Of
the Chicago platform on which Mr..
Bryan stood. Our gallant leader of last
year earnestly desires the success of the
Ohio Democracy this year. He is no
"middle- the road" man, not he. He
is true, practical and earnest man.
As the News-D Democrat has before
said, there are bet two sides to ques-
ton or measure of public policy. When
in issue is up for action one is either
for or against A "middle-of-the.road"
man in congress, for example, encount.
ers a measure and if he votes at all he
must vote for or against. He may, of
course dodge and play the coward, re.
fusing to vote. He might call this TAX
ing the middle .the.road. All this is
too ridiculous for a patriotic American
citizen. Few, very few indeed, will
throw away their influence and votes,
Americans are not generally so made up,
We are practical people as was de.
monstrated last year when we united
so cordially on William J. Bryan.
The same necessity for united action
exists this year as did last. Hanna &
Co. want to see "middle.of.the road"
movement, knowing it will be of service
to them They well know that their
victories of two, three and four years
ago were obtained by our divisions, and
these triumphs we're easily obtained.
But having got rid of the Cleveland
load that bore us down there is no occa.
sion for division, but there is need for
continued and united action. "If not,
why not?"
The foregoing points appeal to men
of reason and to all who wish to serve
the country and restore righteous rule
The so-called gold Democrats are now
moving with view of helping the Re-
publican party as they did last year,
thus showing the issues are the same,
1t is very evident the unholy
monetary combination of last year con
tinues. The question arises: What
shall the supporters of Bryan last yeai
do? Shall we dissolve and throw away
: the grand work of last year? Is not
William j. Bryan stronger today
among the people than William McKin'
ley2 Is not Bryan, in fact, the mora,
hero of the hour? If he were not he
would not draw such crowds as he does
And it must be said all 90 away vel
pleased and renewed in good resolves
Truly we may live in hopes, for it can
not be the supporters of Bryan last yeal
will throw away the noble work time
accomplished.

A vicious charge against Bryan last
year was that he would repudiate civil
service reform and Mr.. Mckinley would
not. Now it seems the president has
just taken 800 good berths out of the
classified service and thrown them open
to the spoils hunters. So we go and so
are Republican promises disregarded
when in power.
