A certain lady in Neihart whose hus-
band had lately returned from a hunting
expedition, and had hung up his binds
in the smoke house, was disturbed Wed
nesday night about 8 o'clock by a gang
of eight or ten fellows who called during
the husbands absence to see the game.
They saw the game, but the game they
saw was not the game they went to see,
for the lady met them with a six-shooter
and told them to take the hike. They
responded beautifully to instructions.
and at this writing they are supposed to
be going yet. knowledge tamped in
with lead is generally effectual.-Neihart

CURIOUS COMMENTS.

The idea has been thrown OFT that the
attacks on Admiral Dewey, on account OF
the house transaction, are not altogether
displeasing to the friends of the admin
istration; and there are some things which
seem TO show that it is not entirely err
roneous. For instance, the paper in Wash
ington in which the attacks first appeared
is an administration organ, and it is
strange that so many of the Republican
papers have seemed to find satisfaction in
the fact that the Admiral had done some
thing that seemed to check his popular
ity. There is an article In the Times Her
aid of Chicago, the most prominent ad-
ministration organ in the West, in which
the Admiral is spoken of as The Broken
Idol" Some extracts from il are as fol-
lows:
Admiral Dewey has done what none of
his sincere admirers admitted it was pos
sible for him TO do. He has forfeited
their unquestioning esteem. He has trans
ferred the house which was the gift of
his loving countrymen to Mrs. Dewey, TO
whom he was affianced and married sub
sequent to its bestowal
Mr.. Crawford, to whom Admiral Dewey
conveyed the house ana lot, is the only
one who has profted by the transaction.
He paid 81 to Admiral Dewey and received
$40 from Mrs. Dewey. Thus he made 80
out of the deed that has destroyed the most
popular hero of our day.
Clearly the paper which published the
foregoing has no particular love or adj
mration for the Admiral. The impression
conveyed by 1t is that the paper gloats
over what 1t believes 10 be a fact name
ly. that the Admiral is no longer held in
high esteem by his fellow citizens. Such
is not the fact, however. The vast ma
jority of the people have as great regard
for him as they did the day he arrived
from Manila.

Her Ideal was Shattered.

A little girl 1 know has recently come
to Washington to live, and her home is
only block or two from the Spanish le-
cation, says writer in the Washington
Post. Alice in Wonderland" which her
nurse has read to her again and again
is her favorite book, and many of her
ideas about things have been gained there
from. The Spanish legation has been of
the greatest interest to her ever since she
heard who lived there.
Does a Duchess live there, mother?''
she asked one day in passing. "a really,
truly, sure enough Duchess?"
Yes" answered her mother
"a Duchess like Alice saw?' she persist
ed.
Yes" said her mother, who hasn't read
Alice" in twenty years. The little girl
pondered the matter, and every day for a
week passed and repassed the legation
with her nurse. AT the end of the week
she came to her mother one day with a
look of the keenest disappointment.
You said a really Duchess lived in that
house" she said, sorrowfully, but it ism
so. I've watched and watched, and to-
day [ saw somebody come with a letter
and ring the bell. There was just a plain
man came to the door. They isn't any
frog footman at ALL 1 guess you was mis-
takened about a truly Duchess living

LOCAL OPTION COMMENDED.

The Springfield Mass, Republican one
of the ablest and most conservative papers
in New England, commenting on the pro-
hibition bill pending in our Legislature,
says: Georgia was founded as a prohibit
ton colony, and the people there are her
editarily disposed to his policy but 1t
may be asserted pretty confidently that
under local option as large a measure of
prohibition prevails as can be maintained"
The soundness of this opinion will hardly
be questioned by observers in this state
who have given the liquor question careful
consideration. The result of a prohibitory
law in Maine, Kansas, Iowa and other
states leaves no room for doubt that it is
correct Prohibition is fairly successful
where the great majority of the people
are in favor of it, but it does more harm
than good where public sentiment is
against it.
The Springfield Republican is well ac-
qualnted with the workings of prohibition
in Maine, and II knows that 1t has not
teen possible to enforce the law there. Pro-
hbitionists Of Kansas say frankly that
prohibition is a failure in that state. Why
is il that with such testimony in favor Of
focal option and against prohibition the
Prohibiticnsts of this state insist upon en-
acting prob bition law? Is it not because
they hope TO punish the liquor dealers out
side of the prohibition counties for sell 'ng
liquor in thcs counties? 1t certainly seems
So They would b iing about very regret
table state OF affairs in the counties which
have not accepted prohibition, under the
! local option Jaw, and deprive the cities and
the state of a very large revenue, for the
sake of gratifying the feeling of hostility
| they entertain against the liquor dealers
of the anti-prohibition counties and also
for the purpose of having chance to con-
graduate themselves that they have forced
their views respecting the liquor traffic on
the entire state.
| If they could show that there was ia
prospect that a prohibitory law would or
could be enforcs here would be some ex-
| cuse for the coul Sc they are pursuing. But
| they cannot do that The facts that are
obtainable from the prohibition states res
| pecting The effect Of a prohibltory law are
all against them But, strange as it may
| seem, these Prohibitionist who are ready
| to listen to reason on aH other subjects,
cannot be induced 10 consider facts in con-
nection with the prohibition question They
| propose to have a prohihitory law in this
slate, If they can get il, although they
must know that 1t is impossible to enforce
such a law in the counties in which public
sentiment is against prohibition.

PriviIeged Col. Cox.

One of the odd characters in Congress,
gossips a Washington writer is Col Mich
olas Cox, representative from Tennessee.
Col. Cox is exceedingly social in his hab-
its and very amiable in his personal re-
lations. He has always been q privileged
character about the House and Senate res
taurants-quite as much so, in fact, as
that other distinguished Tennessee states
man, the late Senator Harris. One day a
South Carolina member stepped into the
Senate restaurant to get a drink Every
section being occupied, he pressed up to
the counter and asked the waiter to serve
him a portion of the juice of the corn"
Take a seat at one of those tables and
I will serve you the whisky" said the
colored person addressed, and then he ex-
planned, as he saw signs of rebellion:
It's against the rules to serve drinks at
the bar" But every chair In the room
is occupied" protested the thirsty South
Carolinian. Cant help it," replied the
waiter. You'll have to wait, then, till
some one gets up"
But l saw Col. Cox of Tennessee stand
ing up right here as 1 came in and taking
a big drink of whisky. Now, if you
SELL
oh" interrupted the colored servitor,
as mellow smile overspread his shining
face, and his voice took on that indescrib-
able tone of affection apology and ex-
PLANTATION peculiar to the real cotton-state
darkey, "Da-at was Cunnel Cox" Against
that bland statement further argument
or protest was manifestly useless. The
arid South Carolinian philosophically wait
ed his turn
