The sub-editor is obliged to be lynx

cause simply mild fiutter of amuse-

Reporter Sent In the Wrong Card.

An official of the supreme court was
puzzled by !. card sent in to him by
desperate newspaper man Monday.
April 30j. when the arguments on the
Kentucky government case began. The
court room was full of sightseers and
the overflow extended in long line
down, the. corridor. The reporter tried
to get in ahead Of the line, and was
stopped. He protested.
''Shall these rubbernecks be let in to
moEopoliZe the supreme court room
when II, a newspaper man, ordered
to report the case, am kept out?' he
exclaimed.
'Them's orders" said the ancient
colored man at the door.
Off rushed the reporter to the court
marshars office. He yanked out his
wallet, and, seeing a card in it. wrote
on the back:
my editor orders me to report the
Kentucky case to-day. Must be adj
mitted: can't wait for the crowd
In a moment the answer came back,
and his card with it: ''No ROOM"
The reporter looked at the card he
had sent in and blushed. He had by
mistake, given the attendant not his
own, but the card of a manager of a
troupe Of ballet and variety perform
ers.-Washington Letter.

Bessie Holloway, thirteen yearold
school girl, put big burglar to fight
from her home last night with her

where she had heard someone rummag-

directly at the intruder said, in com.

"Run!"
In making precipitate exit, the
man broke through window. The

Up To Rand.

Last Friday We took little spin
towards the south end Of the Park, to
make q personal investigation Of the
political situation. The first place
We landed was at the home Of Mr.. J.
G. Ish. We found him and Andrew
Olson strong in the democratic faith
and we'll prepared for the fray on
election day. The Baldwin brothers
a little farther up the Illinois were
busy cutting out some fine looking
steers to get them in condition to
pull down little more avordupois SO
they can be disposed of before the
Mckinley prices drop. Is it not
strange that SO many people think, or
seem to, that Mckinley makes the
price of beef high7 Well if he does
he also makes wool low, coal oil high
and wages to the poor miners at star
vation rates. II he deserves praise
for one he deserves blame for the
other.
We went on to Rand, meeting on
the way few people and all wanted
to hear foreign speaker. Now you
see that is where the county and
state committees come IN for their
share of censure.
Unfortunately we could not play
the role of foreigner, but did our best
to make passable substitute.
We stopped with that prince of good
fellows, Ed. Wyckoff, and as the news
OF the meeting was pretty generally
distributed for the old Rand church,
now used as the school house, we
walked over in the beautiful moon
light in company with Mr.. w, ckoff
and Rev. John Oliver. Mr.. Wyckof'
was made chairman, called the meet
ing to order and after few remarks
introduced the responsible part Of the
UNION, to fairly good sized and very
orderly audience of Park hay men,
cattle men and few visitors. The
evening was so fine and the oppor-
tunity SO inviting, that we pounded
Bryanism at that audience until sew
eral, with undoubtcd leanings towards
Mckinley, began to look attheir watch
es. The Rev. Gentleman present,
folded all up in small school boys
seat, longed for more room, and then
certainly went away with more SYM
pathy for the urchin who is compelled
to sit all day in the same position, al
so the worshipper who listens to long
sermons on Sunday.
Well the meeting came to an end
as all earthly things have to, and re-
ceiving congratulations from republl-
cans and subscriptions from demo-
Gratis, We felt our trip had not been
entirely in vain. We intended to
make arrangements for a meeting at
Hebron, but for want of reasonable
time to distribute the notice and also
being informed that Hebron, like
Ephriam of old, was joined to her idols,
Mckinley and the gold standard,
we did not make an appointment
1t is almost certain that republican
votes will be cast in North Park
through erroneous ideas that Bryan's
ele ction will destroy prices. Nothing
could be more fallacious.
