"a friend in need Is a friend, indeed"
So 1t is written, and such friend is as
often found among the lowly as those
who sit In high places, one of the best
known young men about town found
one unexpectedly last week among the
ragged urchins that haunt newspaper

"Ain't you goin' to help me out this
evenin'?" said the boy.
The young man had often helped him
out of such predlCaments before, but,
wishing to see what the boy would do Il
he refused, he answered: mo, can't

But maybe I can't pay you to-mor-

We'll, II you can't then I'll black
shoes instead Of sellln' papers"
Seeing that the boy was sincere, the
man refused the proffered loan, and in
recognition of the offer, gave the boy
twenty-five cents. Besides, he remem-
bered him to his friends, and now the

A little man with a very solemn Wis
age and a fierce, brlstllng mustache sat
on bench on the lower deck of ferry
steamer with his hat slouched over his
eyes, says the San Francisco Post"
One could see by the way he opened
and closed his eyes and rolled his head
at intervals that he was very drunk, It
was what Is technically known as a
"stilP jag.
on the same bench was a big, rough
iy dressed fellow, who looked like
sheep herdeF. He was never quite so
drunk before in his life and wanted to
take everybody on the boat into his
confidence. He whoOped and shouted
and rolled around until he had gather
ed crowd, Occasionally he disturbed
the little man by humping against him
or yelling In his ear, but the little man
would give him whitening glare and
then drop his chin on his chest again.
Finally the big man grew more bols-
ferrous and almost knocked the little
man off the bench He sprang 10 his
feet, glared at the big man second and
then shouted;
Shut UP, you din-danged big loafer!
I'm twice as drunk as you are and not
half so noisy"
The big man didn't even so much as
whisper during the rest Of the trip.

THE CONTINGENT FUND
Ofthe Govsrnsr'S omse-wnd Charges OF
Democratic Papers ReIuied.

DthNNAA'N PN@N @NNANN"
Charleston West VlrglnIan; The
Wheeling Registers representative in
this city is at 1t again. He has attacked
Governor AtSlnson's disposition of the
civil contingent fund, placed at his dis
posai by law, and seeks to discredit the
administration by comparison with
that of Governor MacCorkle Without
entering into the many ridiculous fea-
lures OF the Registers article, we may
say that a comparison OF the adminis-
tration of Governor Atkinson with that
of the last governor, all the way down
the line, will not In any manner injure
the present one, and we presume the In,
formation may be vouchsafed that
those who composed the former admin
istratlOn are not at all DESTROYS that the
comparison should be brought out, But
the contingent fund, the contingent
fund! That seems to furnish the pab-
ulum for the hungry fellows who must
find crust TO nibble at, The facts are
that Governor Atkinson, when he took
hold Of the reiHs OF government and
invaded the capitol, found deplorable
state of affairs existing, The capitol
building, In point Of condition. was lit
tie better than barn, Dirt and rub
Dish filled every corner and spare room.
The capitol grounds were almost In the
condition of the, commons, and the
fences about ready to topple over The
governor had to clean out the Augean
stables In fact as well as In name, and
1t Is to be said to his credit that he
didn't nibble at the contingent fund in
doing 30.
I He bit off good, healthy bites, has no
apologies to make for doing 1t, and
stands ready to furnish to the proper
authority an ltemized statement OF
every dollar used, The continuous
harpings Of these Jaekasses about the
Junketing trips OF the governor and his
stan Furnish the glamour to adorn their
mouthings, but they form a mere bag
atelle of the expenditures of the con-
tlngent fund. and the insincerity of the
effort to dlscredlt Republican official
comes to the surface when they seek to
hide the real figures. Besides. West
Virginia has passed that period when
few disappointed red necks can sit al
the wayside, too indolent to get into the
chariot of progress. and make incoherent
and disgruntled mumblIngs about the
expenditure Of few dollars OF the con-
tingeht fund by the governor upon the
occasion OF the unwilling OF the monu-
ment to the memory of General Grant nj
New York or General John A. Logan AT
Chicago. The people don't want the
governor to go on foot to any OF these
events.

Democratic papers that are harpinE on
the "extravagant use of the contingent
fund" should pause and consider before
they indulge IN so much rash accusation
of Governor Atkinson They win do well
to remember that the fund available for
contingent expenses in 1897 was at Gov
ernor MacCorkle's disposal from October
last to March 4. 1t is not true that Gov
ernor Atkinson has used the money for
junketting tours for his stoff, The mem
bers of the staff have paid all their own
expenses on the trips taken, excepting
the one to the dedication of the Grant
monument, which cost $169 so the Intel

The attempt to assassinate President
Dlaz. of Mexico, was in all probability
the work either of mad man or an an
archIst. President Dlaz is very popular
among the people of Mexico, He is al
most ldolized throughout the republic,
and no citizen with balanced mind
would have cause for wanting to remove
him. The recent proclamation against
anarchists and their hapiShment from
the country may have furnished the mo-
tive, but even this is doubted by some.
The lynching of the assailant shows that
the mexicans are learning from the ex-
ample of some of their northern neigh
bors.
