youths Companion: An excellent re-
ply was once made by a Yankee pilot
to the owner Of a Mississippi river
steamboat. The boat was at New Or
leans, and the Yankee applied for the
vacant post of pilot, saying that he
thought he could give satisfactiou,pro-
vided they were "lookln' for a man
about his size and buIld.' "a s Vi. .3sG
"Your size and build wilRdo well
enough" said the owner, surveying the
lank form and rugged face Of the APP
plicant with some amusement, but do
you know about the river, where the
snags are and SO on?"
well, I'm pretty well acquainted
with the river" drawled the Yankee,
with his eyes fixed on stick he was
whiting. "but when you comes to
talkln' about snags, l don't know ex-
actly where they are, must say"
Don't you know where the snags
are?" said the boat owner In tone Of
disgust; ''then how do you expect to get
a position as pilot on this river?"
well, sir" said the Yankee. raisIng
a pair Of keen eyes from his whiting
and meeting his questioner's stern gaze
with a whimsical smile, II may not
know Just where the snags are. but you
can depend upon me for KNOWN where
they amt, and that's where l calculate
to do my gaIlIn'."

Former Marietta Boy Gets a Govern
ment Position.

Captain Austin H. Brown, of the
Fischer Shoe company, received word
last night of his appointment to a good
position in the U. S. Treasury Depart
ment.
He has been ordered to report at
Washington, and he will probably
leave for that city in few days.
He will retire from the shoe firm
and he expects to reside in the capital
permanently. However, he will not
resign from Company L for the pres
ent, and he expects to be able to give
the company good deal of attention.
Capt Brown received his appoint
ment largely through the efforts of
Senator Elkins and Senator Scott and
Congressman Freer. After being slat-
ed he took civil service examination,
which secures him his position as long
as he desires to remain.
While his many Parkersburg friends
will regret to have him leave Parkers-
burg, their best wishes for his success
will follow.-Parkersburg News.

0, R. R. Freight Locomotive Runs
Through Herself,

A peculiar and what might have
been a serious railway accident oc-
Cured on the o. r. r. r. between Will
Jamestown and Waverly Tuesday
morning.
The northbound local freight was
short distance above Williamstown
when the tender of the locomotive No.
81 jumped the track. The train ran
some distance when both siderods Of
locomotive broke, tearing things up in
general, The locomotive was COM
pletely stripped on both sides and was
brought back to this city by passing
southbound freight train. Another To-
comotive took the local on from Will
Jamestown.
The engineer and fireman were both
sitting in the cab when the engine
stripped herself, but escaped uninjured
while there was not enough left Of the
cab to make good kindling wood.
The accident is peculiar from the
fact that it is a rare occurrence that a
locomotive strips herself on both sides

about me.
My purpose in seeing Mr.. Snodgrass
was simply to get an apology from
him, which thought was due my
wife. After urging, with reason, and
being refused with anger, matters took
the violent and unfortunate turn, in
which affirm I was not the aggressor,

see them going off to the CRIME and

The Oldest Maid.

The oldest old maid in the United
States" Aunt Peggy Bailey, has just
died in Monument City, Ind, at the
age of 112. She was constant tobac-
co user, having smoked pipe from the
age of eight years, but always used
tobacco raised and cured on the home
farm Up to two months ago, when
she became blind, deaf, dumb and part
ly insane, she was in excellent health
and retained all her faculties. She gave
as a reason for her spinsterhood that
getting married is a serious thing, and
/ never thought l wanted to take any
such chances" She had a brother in
Kentucky and another in Ohio, both of
whom have passed the 100-year mark.
