NoNewfansled stove For Mer.


A Memphis family which employs an
old time negress as cook recently had
gas range put in the kitchen. When
the range was put in place, tile work
man who put it there lighted the jets
inside the oven ard then closed the
doors. He opened them, turned OF the
gas and then, relighting the Jets, ex-
planned to the old negress how the
range was used. The jets cannot be
seen when the doors of the oven are
closed; and in the excitementof the ex-
Uanation the workman closed them
and forgot the lighted jets.
The old negress, after hearing all he
had to say, said:
"Tain't no use ter tell me erbout
hit. Pm gwinter use dis yere ole wood
stove whur Ise cooked on SO long"
The workman laughed and went
away, not thinking that the old cook
meant what she said. She did mean
1t, though, and continued to use the
old wood stove to cook with.
When the head of the family that
employs her received his gas bill Is
days after the gas stove was put in, he
almost dropped dead. The bill showed
that he owed the gas company $21.
Investigation proved that the Jets in
the oven had been burning from the
time the workman left. The old cook
had never opened the oven DOORS

Not all of the drivers skill is devoted
to driving ahead; 1t takes good driver
to be able to back up in good shape.
Not every driver, by any means, can
halt and then back up to curbstone
and hit it square and true with both
wheels the first clip. That is something
that requires more skill than might be
imagined by one who had never tried
It,
But in hacking up on the level, IL q
man fails to hit the curb exactly the
first time, he can maneuver until he
does. There are places where skill
must be exercised and where level
head is called for too. For instance,
in backing up, or rather backing down,
into an excavation on the inclined
causeway left for that purpose. The
excavation is begun at the rear Of the
lot, land the eapth forming the cause
way, running up toethe4 level iot the
street at the front, is left until the last.
In the later stages of. the excavating

at the top for the carts or wagons to

obviously. The driver who backs

4'he case, which had been In progress
for nearly week. attracted wide
spread attention owing to the social
position Of both the plaintiff and de-
PENDANT. Mrs. Gazzam is the widow
of State Senator Gazzam and is reput-
ed to be very wealthy. The hearing
brought to the court hundreds Of men
and women who move in high social
circles. 1t was testified that Charlton
Reading was lured from his home and
family by the wiles of Mrs. Gazzam,
distant cousin, who secured for him
the office of president of the Williams
port Gas company, and engaged him to
perform certain business transactions
for her. The defense was that the re.
lations Of Mr.. Reading and Mrs. Gag
Fam were purely platonic and business
like. Mr.. Reading did not appear in
court at any time during the trial.
Leading lawyers were employed to
conduct. the case. Richard G. Dale

ney General Mccormick of Williams

ABRAHAM LINCOLN -
The pages of history may be searched
in vain for more beautiful expression
of sympathy. Imagine President Nc
Kinley attempting to write a letter to 9
borrowing mother, whose son had beer
lost In our war of conquest in the
Philippines. What could he say that
the son died for? Not for human
liberty, not for country, possibly for the
extension OF trade at the expense
of enslaylng race. In Lincoln'e
time the sons of American mothers
died that 100000 human beings might
be free. In McKinley's time, Ameri

100000 of human beings of th,
