Dolph dropped to his knees and be-

the most eXtrayagant manner. We
dressed ourselves and sat up the rest
of the night, Dolph spending most OF
the time caressing and sounding the
praises of Jack.
Early in the morning my father came
over to see how we had passed the night
alone.

showed him the trophy of victory Jack
had brought in, that is part of the
skirt of the old coat Barney Willis
begged of me only last week. It's the
very same coat! There's little rent
in it that your mother darned long ago
and I'm sure it's the same coat gave to
Barney, to get rid of him one day-the

Barney Willis was an idle, drunken
fellow who lived in the nelghborhood
He had often been suspected of thiev'
ing, but had never been caught in the
act.
Il shall ask Barney about this" said
father. "Ile has gone far enough in his
raseality."
But when we went over to the old
cabin in the woods in which Barney
lived, his slatternly wife said he was
not at home, and she did not know where
he was.
A day or two LATER the Willis cabin
was deserted, neither Barney nor his
wife was ever seen again in our neigh
borhood.
"Und Yack run him oud!" said Dolph

sleek, smooth stranger, with a smile
on his face, and arter he had walked
around fur awhile, he sot down along
side of Abraham Benson and said:
II hev bin given to understand that
there are more liars and bigger liars
in Squan Creek than anywhere else on
the face of this airth."
That's right" says Abraham, as a
smile of pride passes over his face.
"Yes, sab, if you seek a noble liar, look

MARCUS A. HANNA.

nell and others, for chairman of the
state committee. Kurtz had been a
member of the state committee for the
two preceding years. He was the Ohio
republican chairman in 1895 and again
in 1896. In the latter year Senator Han
ma, who was then managing the presi-
Dental campaign, was not satisfied
with the work of Ohio, and he did not
want Kurtz in that position for 1891.
Hanna defeated Kurtz at Toledo for
chairman, and has had fractional war
on himself ever since.
The opposition knew they were de-
feated before the joint balloting be-
gan, but fought to the last on the
charges of bribery and coercion. In the
joint balloting there were no changes
whatever by the senators over their two
ballots of Tuesday for the long and
short terms. McKisson received 10
votes and Hanna II. When the roll of
the house was called it resulted in the
ballots for both terms as follows: Han
ma. Sc; McKisson, 81; Lentz, !, and one
absent Creamery. The joint ballots for
both terms resulted as follows: Hanna,
70; McKisson, 70; Lentz, 4; absent,
(Cramer). The official declaration
showed that Hanna had a majority of
three over McKisson, of two over all
voting and of one over all the members
in the general assembly.
Columbus, o., Jan. Ex-senator Han
ma has received over 1000 congratu-
latory kilograms. All the members of
the national republican committee and
many state committeeman and other
representative republicans from all the
states and various county chairmen
are included, among them being the
following:

ey " euHo,

was plain that Ananias wasn't knee
high 10 the people. The last man was
Moses Hastings. As he had lost most Of
his front teeth when a young man, we
didn't consider him much of liar, and
his admissions astonished us. Accord
in to his own story he hadn't spoken
the truth but once in 16 years, and that
was pare accident. His story ended
in a food of tears, and the strangers
voice was broken as he sought to COM
fort him. Bimeby the man said:
"One of you 30 reformed liars will
sartinly git the place, and shall trooly
congratulate him. amt so per-
tikler myself, but Uncle Sam wants to
git things down purity fine. I shall
therefore AK We all to sign this paper.
1t is a paper which says that each and
everyone of we has dun lynn enough to
sink an island, but that We promise to
stick to the trooth from now on"
One after another the ex-liars walked
up and signed that paper with one
hand and brushed away the tears with
the other, and so the meetin' broke up.
The stranger said we should hear from
him later on, and meanwhile there was
to be no lynn. 1t was awful hard work
to stick to the truth, and in one month
real estate dropped almost half. Then
one day a man with a patent churn
cum along, and he had that paper
we had signed, and he said the
stranger had put up job on us.
He was from Keyport, and he wanted to
stop us from lynn so his crowd could
git ahead of us and boom their town.
The churn man said that paper was
with hundred dollars to him and we
jest had to git up public purse and
buy it at his price. We had bin
thrown down by q designin villain.

time and went to lynn agin, and sum

"ANDY" JOHNSON.
How He Won the Irish Vote in a Coz
gressionaI Contest.


gressiOnal Contest.
In the Pinch precinct, Memphis, the
majority of the voters In which are
Irish, Andrew johnson, when candi-
date for congress, and his opponent,
Gus Henry, met in joint debate. Henry
opened, and, as bid for the Irish vote,
he told in whitening terms how John
son, when in congress before, had voted
against bill for an appropriation to
assist Ireland during time of famine;
he himself had done yeoman work for
the passage of the bill, while this other
man, who was now asking their sup
port, had done everything possible to
defeat it. 1t was fine point, and the
speaker made the most of it, burning
before it the lamp of his eloquence, I'M
til the crowd was wild with excitement.
Then Henry sat down and johnson got
up amid catcalls and SCOTS to answer
him.
"What my opponent has told you is
true" he said. ireland was suffering
and voted against an appropriation for
her relief, for the money which 1t was
thus proposed to give away was not
mine, but yours-yours because it was
in the public Golfers. / refused to give
away money which did not belong to
Inc, but went down In my own pocket,
and out Of my own private funds, which
l had right to bestow, I subscribed
$3.50 to the relief fund which was being
quietly raised. How much of his own
money did Mr.. Henry give? Not n
cent? He was too busy trying to give
away yours. Now, gentlemen, which OF
us two did the better part by suffering
Ireland?"
The effect of this was magical; the
catcalls were now for Henry and the
cheers for johnson, and the votes went
with the cheers.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.
