Took n CnaflY Nan.

To begin with he's "a good fellow"
That's a phrase easier understood by
men than by women. 1t generally
means-well, it means he's an all round
good sort in the male line.
Saturday afternoon he was feeling
pretty good. He had been quite thirsty
If what he had taken was to be judged
as criterion. And the libations left
him in a thoroughly good humor, and
he felt at peace with the world.
In this delightful mental and phys
ical state he bethought him of n friend
of his in Providence, and he further
thought that he would call up that
particular friend on the telephone.
So he went to a Broad street hotel
told the young woman there who had
charge of the telephone that he wanted
to speak to Mr.. So-and-so in Provi-
dence and wouldn't she kindly call up
the party.
The girl did as she was bade.
"Party's on the phone" she said
and the man went into the telephone
box, sat down and put the receiver to
his ear.
And then he calmly and sweetly
dropped off TO sleep.
When lie woke up, he owed the tele-
phone company 1920.
He said he wouldn't pay it, but he
did.-Philadelphia Press.

Goa 20 ne am ola story.

Over 20 years ago an Amerf~a AN civil
engineer, who visited Cabecera, in
Venezuela, was asked by a deputation
of the inhabitants, who had heard OF
his skill as a surveyor, whether he
thought a canal could be made from
their village to Provecue, which would
save a very long river journey. He
visited the district and found that by
taking advantage of two small streams
a canal OF about a league would be all
that was necessary
The committee were delighted with
this report, and they begged the sur
veyor to write an official letter to the
government ON their behalf, asking
that they might be permitted to begin
the work at once.
Ten years after this the surveyor
was again at the village of Cabecera,
and the first question asked him was:
do you not think a canal could be
made from here to ProvecueY
On his informing them that he had
been asked the same question ten years
before and had taken some time and
trouble about the matter, the chairman
replied that on account of politics, the
death of his father, etc, the govern
ment letter had probably been over
looked. Search was made, the letter
was found and once more all was ex-
citement. Nothing was talked about
but the canal.
Some years later yet the surveyor
was again at Cabecera. Immediately
on his arrival a deputation waited upon
him. do you think n canal The
speaker never got any further with
that question.-Youth's Companion.

A "befo' de wah" matron was teach
ing one of the little darkies on her
plantation how to spell. The primer
she used was a pictorial one, and over
each word was its accompanying pic
ture, and Polly glibly spelled "o-x, OK"
and box, box" etc.
But the teacher thought that she
was making too rapid progress, so she
put her hand over the picture and said,
Polly, what does OK spell?"
OK" answered Polly nimbly.

THE monuments recently unveil-
ed at Norfolk, Va, by the Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy to the me-
mory of Abram Ryan was a fitting
tribute to the memory of one of
the greatest men in American lit
erature. He was noble and de-
voted son of the south, and be-
meath his cassock beat the heart of
a knightly gentleman, subdued and
chastened by the convicting power
of religious sentiment. His
writings Twill live and his name
will endure for they are indissolu-
bly, linked with the history of a
people whose struggle will be a
heritage of pride and glory 10 the
last generation.

THE Boer peace ENJOYS are in
clined to be optomistic. They as
sert that political expediency will
force the present administration to
move in the interest of peace in
South Africa, and they intend to
visit all of the principal cities here
in an effort to arouse public sym
pathy to a point where it will force
the administration to take action.
They have estimated public opinion
in this country correctly, but they
have failed to properly weigh the
influence which the money and
corporate interests exert over this
administration. A breach with
England would threaten CONNER
cial relations and will not occur.

Endorsements of Ardnore's Candi-
date for National Commit eeman.


The past week has beer largely
favorably to DIR. Wolverton's can
didacy for national committeeman
Quite a number of the clubs on
the east side have endorsed him
openly, others have elected unin-
structed delegates, while in the
Chickasaw nation the solidlty OF
sentiment is shown by an unbroken
record of Wolyerton endorsements.
In addition to those previously
reported, we have the following OF
recent date:
A dispatch from Antlers, in' the
Choctaw nation, dated Friday,
says:
There was a large democratic
club organized at Dexter, l. T.. q
town twenty miles north of this
place. After hearing speeches
from several members. the club
instructed their delegates to vote
for DR.. A. J. Wolverton of Ard
more for national committeeman.
Another of the same date says:
At a meeting of democrats al
Grant, 1. T., a club was organized
with nearly a hundred members.
DR.. J. D. Ables and W. NJ. Meadle
were elected delegates to the Ard
more convention. They 60 unin-
structed as to the election of ma
tional committeeman.
And still another as follows:
Tulsa, near Muskogee. held con-
vention of the democratic club last
night and elected delegates to the
Ardmore convention. A motion
to instruct the delegates for Col
Marcum was voted down. The
unit rule was adopted.
In addition to these from the
east side we have a report from
McGee, east of Pauls Valley.
where there is a democratic ciut
of $50. Thursday night a meeting
was held and, among others, the
following resolution was unani'
mously adopted. 1t was drafted
and presented by B. w. NJ
Mitchell:
Resolved, That we instruct
our delegates to the Territorial
democratic convention, which con
venes at Ardmore June IL, 1900
to elect national committeeman
and delegates to represent the In
dian Territory in the Kansas City
convention, to cast their votes fol
DR.. A. J. Wolverton of Ardmort
for national committeeman for tht
Indian STerritory as long as hi
name is before the convention
Also to cast their votes for Momol
Pruiett for delegate to the Kan
sas City convention"
Mr.. Marcum's name was no
placed before the committee at al
except by two OF his campaign
speakers who addressed the club
one from Pauls Valley and tn
other Paoli. The following gen
tlemen were then chosen as dele
gates to Ardmore:
S. Richards. D. NJ Hyden, w
P. Langston, H. T. Drury, DR.. T
B. Tyree, w. w. Hyden and w
B. NJ. Mitchell.
Messrs Carter and Moore of Pur
cell were added to the delegation
as a compliment to them for thei
earnest fight at Purcell in favor o
a home man.
We have also received a messag
from Jimtown stating that the clul
there would instruct for DR.. VOL
verton as soon as they receive in
structions from democratic head
quarters as to the ratio of repre-
sentation and blanks on which t.
make returns.

Hamel said he had. carried the reptile
in his shirt bosom for four months.
He gave 1t the freedom OF his body.
Sometimes he WINS more lively than

sometimes he would wind himself
around Hamei's neck and enjoy quiet

veloped the remarkable fact that for
Is years Mrs. Theresa Lynch. the
Queen Of Diamonds." and her bus-
band, John Lynch, lived in their
home at PCS West Thirty-fourth
street, and never spoke to each other.
On one recent Friday Mr.. Lynch was
removed from the house to Amityville,

vate asylum.
Mrs. Lynch, who is reputed to be
worth several millions. and for near
ly half n century has been prominent

in New York city. has been for many
years past supposed to be widow.
Only her most intimate friends knew
of the existence Of Mr.. Lynch. He
lived for the most part the life of
recluse. never appearing at the Union
Square store, where Mrs. Lynch still
spends most of the day behind one Of
the counters.

lence which existed between the wom-
an and her aged husband. Up to 1855
Mr.. Lynch was a partner with Mrs.
Lynch in the diamond business. His
conviviality threatened to destroy the
business, of which Mrs. Lynch was the
nainstay. and the copartnership be-
tween husband and wife ended. After
that Mrs. Lynch moved farther up
