A Decidedly Novel Claim.


A claim once made on the explorer,
Cameron, in the neighborhood of Ga
boon, Africa, shows the peculiar work
ings of the native Africans mind.
Some of Cameron'e possessions proved
unduly attractive to native, and he
determined on transferring the owner
ship to himself. He accordingly paid
another native 5000 to procure for him
the coveted goods. ga: r -.
The assistant took the money and did
his best to earn it, but Mr.. Cameron
had perversely locked up the very arti-
cles that the fellows employer had set
his heart upon. The man could not car
ry out his bargain, and neither did he
feel that he could part with the money.
Therefore he ran off with it. What
more logical than that the man who
was the loser by 5000 should expect the
explorer to make the loss good? This he
assuredly did expect.
He went to Mr.. Cameron and told
him the story, demanding in the first
place the 5000 which he, Cameron, by
looking up his goods, had compelled the
complainant to lose, and, secondly, the
actual price of the goods themselves,
which, but for these ar bitrary measures,
would now have been in his possession.
It is not stated that his expectations
were realized. w atchman. #

A Malay Sultan's Letter.

In the cover there were three inolo-
sures-a formal letter of extreme polite
ness, written by scribe; secondly, a
letter written in my friend g own hand;
and thirdly, another paper, headed,
Hidden Secrets" written also in the
sultan's own hand. At the top Of the
first page of the second letter is writ
ten, "Our friendship is sealed in the
Utmost recesses Of my heart.' Then
this, II send this letter to my honored
and renowned friend (here follow my
name, designation and some conven-
tional complimentary. The letter then
continues: "You, my dear friend, are
never out Of my thoughts, and they are
always wishing You well. I hear that
you are coming to see me, and for that
reason my heart is exceedingly glad, as
though the moon had fallen into my
lap or had been given cluster Of
flowers grown IN the garden called
Benjerana Sri, wide opening under the
influence of the sun s warm rays."-

Sterne's Destituti0n.

Laurence Sterne, the writer, was the
victim of the intensest poverty. A little
time before his death, being in a state
Of restitution, he went one evening to
borrow e5 from his friend Garriok.
Upon arriving, he heard music and
knew that party was going on. He
heard the merry laughter, and, gently
replacing the uplifted knooker, retraoed
his eteps. W.
We never feel our miseries 80 keenly
as when contrasted with the joys Of
others, and it is only then that We re-
alize Wordsworth's picture:
And homeless near thousand homes stood
And near = thousand tables pinned for food. ~
Another story Of this writer does not
evoke SO much sympathy. TWAS known
that Sterne used his wife very i'll, and
in talking with Garrick one day in fine
sentimental style of oonjugal love and
fidelity he said, 1.-THE husband who be-
haves unkindly to his wife deserves to
have his house burn down over his
head"
IF you think so," said Garrick
quietly, II hope yours is we'll insured. "

The Mad Poets RetOrt.

Many stories are told of McC"2's'2
Clarke known so years ago in Nc"
York as the "Mad Poet" which show
that he had vein of great shrewdness,
such as is often possessed by people
who are counted insane.
One day he was seated at table in a
New York hotel quietly eating his sim
pie dinner when two young men took
their seats at the same table. They we're
not gentlemen in the best sense Of the
word, and it occurred to them that they
might have some sport with the poor
poet. Consequently one Of them said in
an unnecessarily clear tone:
II have seen almost everything and
every body in New York except McDon-
aid Clarke. 1 have great admiration
for his poems, and I would give great
Zeal to see the man.
When be paused, the mad poet leaned
forward and said with evident gratifica-
ton:
"sir, am Mcdonald Clarke, whom
you say you wish to see.'
The young man stared at him with
much rudeness for moment, and then,
drawing quarter from his pocket, he
laid it on the poets plate, saying,
"That's for the sightP'
Clarke looked at the coin for an in
slant, and then, placing it in his pocket,
he took out a "York shilling" 1914
cents. This he handed to the young
man, saying graveIy, "Children half
price. "-Youth's Companion.

the christian believer, it was a

SENATOR PADGETT.

People are sometimes placed in
that unfortunate and embarrassing
position where they may be fond of
friend. but not proud of him;
where they will like man, but not
be able to rely upon him; where
they may wish him we'll, but because
of some moral obliqulty or mental
unbalance, may tear his power to
sustain himself. Such is not the
case, however, with the friends and
admirers of Senator Padgett.
Wherever he goes, the welcome word
comes back that he has not only
we'll sustained the reputation that
preceded him, but that he has won
new laurels and made more friends.
The following from the editorial
columns of the Hickman County
News, Is fair sample of how the
people and the press all over the
district speak of him as man and
receive him as a candidate. The
clipping is from the last issue of the
News, and reads as follows:
"Senator l.. p. Padgett, who delivered
lecture before the County Teachers
Institute here recently, is an active can
didate for the Democratic nomination
for Congress, as has been stated in these
columns heretofore. While in our
midst he informed us he is receiving
county in the district. Senator Padgett
is splendid congressional tim her, and
his wide popularity through the dis.
trict will enable him to make a strong
fight. He is clean gentleman of strict
honor and integrity, sober, temperate
and without guile. He is private citi-
zen above reproach, and a public ser.
want who serves the public; a straight
out, Old-fashioned Democrat who be.
lieves that the real, Jeffersonian prin.
ciples of the party are as pure as the
water of life, he has been fighting theil
battles for many years, with record tc
be proud of. Senator Padgett is quite
an able man, has long enjoyed great
reputation as a lawyer, and in the las
legislature as the champion of the judi
ciary reform bill which abolished sew
eral unnecessary offices, he won new
honors and attracted admiration from
all parts of the state. He is an eloquen
polished orator, with few equals in Ten
nessee, and in the prime of manhood
completely equipped for congressiona
honors as he is, Senator Padgett will
either knock the plum or skin the bari
on the limb around it,"

THE late Bob Ingersoll was
famous, but not great. Some peo-
pie sometimes confuse the words, or
their meaning; but there is vast
difference. Jessie James was as
famous as Bob Ingersoll; one as a
bandit, the other as blasphemer.
Hundreds ADD thousands of men
now living and unknown to the
world, could become as famous as
either of these men, If they were
bold and bad enough. Both Inger-
soil and James were exaggerated
types of wick edness. The one born
orator and polished thinker, whose
associations and environments in
life had humanized and christ
ianized his morals, but whose mind
was a freak. That was Bob Inger-
soil. He was not all bad, though
the bad so predominated as to nearly
obscure the good. He was a kind
husband and good father. He was
capable of that much because his
heart was not cruel. But he was
taught that by christian parents
and impelled to it by his social sur
roundings and the customs OF the
christian era and christian country
in which he lived. Perhaps another
strong influence for good in his life
was to prove wrong thing; for il
was his pride and the boast of his
friends that Bob Ingersoll, the
agnostic, was as loyal husband, al
devoted father, and rs just a mar
as any christian. Without thi'
boast and pride to sustain him
without the moralizing, uplifting
restraining influence the christian
religion has given to the world
without the type Of man who's,
morals he tried to emulate; wha
would he have been? Without com
pass or stay his morals would hav,
been as lacking in those finer at
