He WINS Too Trusting.

II was newspaper man for six weeks, -
admitted the bronzed and bearded man
who had just returned from twenty years
sojourn in Mexico, according to the De-
troit Free Press. But for that brief ex-
perience as a reporter presume should
have lived all this time in my native city.
AS it is I never mention its name and my
own in the same connection. I was as am
bilious a scribe as ever drew a notebook
and allowed myself only three years in
which to own a metropolitan newspaper
of my own.
zone day was stopped on the street by
a hatchet-faced young lawyer who told
me to meet him that evening and get the
most sensational piece of news that had
been sprung since the place was found
ed. I was there on the minute and he
gave me elaborate details of how John
Hager Smith had gained legal title to land
that was then in the business center of the
city and worth at least $500 900, 600. The IT,
tie was stlll good and Smiths heirs could
recover every cent of it's value.
THE story appeared the next morning
with a half column of headlines and
shook the town. In the same issue my in
formant advertised for the heirs of John
Hager Smith, referring them to my high
ly-favored article. They fiocked to him
and his retainers made him rich in an in
St0hlply bAACA NiAAiS' ClAACt Pf1ptAS uChiCu
but my lawyer kept me going while he
was raking down fat fees. Mr.. Smith
seemed to have more descendants than
any other man of history except Adam.
But elder and more experienced news
paper men took hold of the matter and
the bubble burst. There never had beer
any such man as John Hager Smith, sc
that his army of professed heirs were al
impOstors. There wasn't leaVen of truth
in the whole high-priced yarn. The law
yer skipped, bur didn't have the grace to
pay my way out of town, though he knew
there were several hundred Smiths on my

The county commissioners, il is stated,
have decided not only TO harden the Mont
gomery cross road from the Waters road
eastward to Sandhy station, but 10 con-
tinue the Improvement as far as the Isle
of Hope causcway. This Improvement
will be quite a help to the people living at
Isle of Hope. The distance TO that place,
however, by way of Estill avenue. Wat
ers road, Montgomery cross road and
Skidaway ferry road is about eleven and
a half miles, as against seven and half
to eight miles by way of the partly built
Meridian road of course there is no
question that the hardening OF. the roads
referred to viii give the people a means
Of communication much preferable to
the old dirt roads; but why the county
commissioners should select and improve
the longer route-the longer by three
mies-in preference to the direct route, is,
as Lord Dundreary would say, zone of
those things which no fellow can under
stand"
The completion Of the Meridian road
route would benefit a greater number OF
persons, would reduce the distance to
Isle of Hope and the cost of the work,
and would open up the county's two plan
tations to sale and settlement. Two miles
of the Meridian road have been built, and
if it were extended a mile further north
ward it would connect with the Waters
road, recently graveled, and supply a
fairly good short cut to the southeastern
section Of the county; and it would at the
same time afford the people an opportunity
of seeing what has been done with a part
of the taxes paid by them in previous
years Such an inspection. however,
might place the county commissioners in
an unpleasant light. Odious comparisons
might be instituted. 1t would be seen
how much was accomplished by previous
boards with the little they had to work
with, and what has been done of late
years with an increased force Of convicts
and four to five times as much money.
Apparently 1t is the purpose of those
who control the county's work to see how
not to do it," or TO do what the people
do not wish done. Petition after petition
from the people direct, and recommended
ton after recommendation by grand juries,
and special appropriations for certain
work, have all been ignored by the coun-
ty commissioners. the alleged servants OF
the people. Yet the drainage of Buckhal-
ter swamp and the building of some roads
and the improving of others, work which
never received public Endorsement, goes
brayely on.

she Got n Job.

She was as beautiful as dream and as
fresh as the dawn. says the Cleveland
Leader.
But Horatio Everingham was not in a
genial mood He had arisen with head
ache, and everything had seemed to go
wrong at the store that morning. Only
five minutes before the sweet young wo-
man entered one of the firms Oldest Gus
toners had left in anger, and declared
that he would in future buy all his goods
from rival house.
"Well," said the old gentleman as she
stood with downcast eyes before him. Il

vertisement for a typewriter, have your"
Yes, sir" she demurely replied.
I've already engaged one" he went on.
Sorry you didn't get here a little earlier.
The fact is l hired the first applicant that
came, for 1 concluded that a person who
would not get here early enough to beat
the others who might want the place
wouldn't be likely to be very prompt in
getting around if I were to employ her"
Il should have been here earlier" she
said, IF / had not first gone to see Mr..
Bullion, the banker. He also advertised
for a typewriter. I am sorry now that 1
didn't come here first. Then I should prob
ably have beaten all the Others"
While she had talked Horiatio Evering-
ham had taken his first good look at her,
and he, too. was sorry that she had gone
to see Bullion first. But there was no use
resretting what had been done. He didn' t
need her now; so there was nothing to do
but let her go. He arose to show her out Of
the private office, but she hesitated.
You don't think you'd need two type
writer's, do your" she said, at last.

er impatiently. zone can do the work
very easily. Good morning"
We'll then" she murmured, half to her
self. Il suppose I shall have to accept Mr..
Billions offer. I'm sorry, for I'd rather

"Whatw exclaimed Mr.. Everingham.
you're going to work for Bullion?"
yes. I told him I'd come back If you
didn't want me-"
stay here, my girl, stay here" said the
old gentleman, while beads of cold sweat
stood out upon his brow. "I'll make room
for you some way. Great Caesar, what a
narrow escape! Why, all my money is in

Thomas Ball. the sculptor who has re-
sided in Florence ITALY, for the last thir-
ty years. and is now in his seventy-ninth
year, has returned to America, intending
to spend the rest of his lite in this cOun-
try.

William Lloyd Garrison, a son of the
famous abolitionist, said of his father in a
recent lecture in Boston: AT home Mr.
Garrison was cheerful. His sense of the lu-
dicrous was very marked. He was pas
slonately fond of music, and
had habit Of singing
through the house. Babies were a
delight to him, and would be good with
him when the mother could not soOthe
them. He was very fond of puns. When
the servant failed he helped in the kitchen;
when there was sickness he was Won
derful nurse. At table he made the con-
versation general, and drew out the most

The late Prof. George NJ. Lane, Har-
wards greatest Latin scholar won more
fame by composing a bit of doggerel call
ed The Lone Fishbalr' than by anything
he ever did as an educator. The Lone
Fishbalr has been one of the commOnest
college songs for the last forty years.
This is how a friend describes Gov
Taylor of Tennessee, who may succeed
the late Senator Harris as
senator: He is an inimita-
bic story-teller. He loves fried
chicken better than hound dog loves pot
liquor. He drinks his whisky straight and
he pulls off his hat to every lady that he
meets. He can play the fiddle, he can ride
a horse bareback, and can follow the
hounds until the horn blows for break
fast the next morning. He knows the diff
ference between a thoroughbred and fet-
lock stock, and he worships a blue-eyed
baby with a devotion characteristic of the
mountain man."

Man of Rigid views.

The play OF the evening was one of
those hilarious adaptations from the
French, where a staid householder OF ma
ture years takes night of and makes
the most of 1t in an atmosphere Of cham
payne and general revelry, says the KAN
sas City Journal. As the performance
progressed and the fun grew faster and
more furious the other members Of the
party looked at the man Of rigid views
with considerable solicitation. How would
he take a.? Would be get up and go out ?
Might he not even rise from his seat and
denounce the performance? But no; he sat
there quietly enough. his face fixed IN a
look Of frozen intentions and his eyes glar-
ing through his glasses at the spectacle
beyond the foo ,lights. However else he
might regard the performance. he certain
~ wasn't amused. Not a ghost OF a smile
crossed his face. The others might laugh
and nudge each other, but he sat stol.dly
through u an 20 the very fall OF the cur
taiG.
When theywere all going down the stairs

HIM how he Liked the show. and an the

"B-but," stammered the astonishod ques-

And the laughter that followed that
sally was Tar more enjoyable than any
thing the play brought forth.

Gen. Lafayette McLa,vS.

The death Of Gen. McLaws removes a
sturdy link Of the chain connecting the
old south OF glorious memory with the
present. He was a soldier by nature and
education. and. like all true soldiers. was
endowed with those graces Of heart and
mind which go to make the perfect gen.
tleman. He was uncompromising in his
antagonsm OF wrong; he never for an in
slant lacked the courage Of his convic-
tons sim he was not intolerant Of the
honest convictions Of others. lie was as
firmly convinced at the day OF his death
of the justice OF the cause for which he
fought as he was when he FIST took the
field for his country, and he never had
one regret to express.
Gen. McI.aws was savannah's good and
true friend When the alien and hostile
hordes marched across the country with
fire and sword to savannah's door. he de-
Tended her as long as defense was posi-
bic. and gave way only to overwhelming
numbers. He loved the city. and the af-
lection was warmly reciprocated. As to
his military career history Will write him
down as among the most Intrepid OF the
confederate commanders. He was always
TO be found az the front where the nght-
ing was hardest. lie was az Malvern Hi,
and Fredericksburg, and Charlottesville,
and Knoxville. and Salem Church. and
Gettysburg, ana Ayerysborough. and at
each place. ana al many other places. he
had a conspicuous position IN the picture.
lie was a veteran OF three wars. including
his services against the Indians OF the
west after the conclusion OF the war with
spcuous for his capacity to command and
his bravery Ia the field. All Of his adj
vancements la the service were upon mer-
a. IN civll lie he was successful and
honored. his every trust was discharged
with answering ndelity. Ills career Is
an honor to his state and country.

Too Emotional.

If the men who become the objects of
hero worship could see the evidence of
the feeling they inspire they would possi-
bly, be even more reconciled to leaving
this sphere for any other, better or worse.
Sometimes they do know, says the Youths
Companion, and then need to exercise
abundant charity.
An American who has lived much
abroad says that he was present on one
occasion when a cOuntrywoman of his own
met a famous poet. She saw the object
of her idolaury. She rushed forward and
struck an attitude.
"And is it possible" she cried, dramati-
cally, that l look upon Browning?"
One feels that Dr. johnson, in the same
circumstances, would have remarked
grufiy Don't be fool, madam"
Again there are times when pathos is
showered only upon the dead. 7. f. Sill
leck says that on one of his holiday ex-
cursions he visited Mount Vernon, and
there, in the grounds, he came upon a
middle-aged ledy kneeling before a build
Ing at some distance from the monument.
She was bathed in tears. Mr. Silleck walk
ed up to her and asked II she were in
trouble.
mo, sir" said she. thank you very
much am not in trouble. but my patri-
otto feelings overcome me when l gaze
upon the tomb Of the Father of His
Country"
Il quite understand" said Mr. sllleck,
gently, "but, my dear madam, you have
made a mistake. This Is not the tomb of
Washington. 1t is over yonder. This is the
ice house"
And. drying her tears. the lady moved
quietly away.
