Fertile in Mischeivousness

From the Memphis Scimitar.
She wanted her little boy to be so polite,
and she was very much mortified when he
came in where she was entertaining a visit
or with his hat on.
Take off your hat. dear, and speak to
Mrs. Pramm,' she said gently.
But dear paid no attention,
'Son, did you hear? Take off your hat"
she reiterated in more positive tone.
Still ''son paid no attention, and as he
came close to his mother she lifted his
hat for him. And the deluge that followed
was equal to any collection that Hermann
ever got out of his magic hat.
The little fellow had filed ii right fun of
black-eyed peas for his shooter and then
stood on his head to put 1t on. And lively
bombardment followed that peppered the
face of the baby lying asleep in its mothers
lap, and hit the floor in rapid succession
and bounced off in every part of the room,
to the intense delight of the little fellow,
who had prepared the snare so carefully.

receiving SO for nine hours work.
Yesterday the contractors held a meeting

from 50 to $3.50 per day for nine hours
work or to 50 for eight hours work.
This counter proposition will be present.

NEWS RECEIVED
IN WASHINGTON
Governor Goebel'S Death is Great
Iy 0epIored.
QUESTION AS TO EFFECT
1t is the General Opinion That it Will
Not in Any Way Change the
Grave Situation in
Kentucky
QUESTION AS TO EFFECT

Washington, February 3.-Without re-
gard tos party, the death ofsWilliam Goebel
is universally deplored here. His game
struggle for life after the assassin's bullet
laid him low has been watched with ad-
miration and when the bulletins were post
ed tonight announcing his death, political
friends and foes united in expressions of
regret. 1t was discussed wherever politi-
clans congregated and there was much
speculation as to the effect his death would
have upon the conflict over the governor
ship.
Senator Lindsay, who did not support
Goebel in the contest last fall, was disin-
clined to be interviewed concerning the
effect of GoebePs death upon the situation
lest something he might say would serve
to aggravate matters at Frankfort. He
did say, however, that If what the legisla-
ture has done was valid he could not see
that GeobePs death changed the situation.
Representative Smith, of Kentucky, a
warm supporter of Goebel, said:
''The contest before the legislature de-
tern1lned who was elected governor last
November Governor Goebel having been
declared duly elected, and having qualified
as governor, There can be no question that
tne MeutenauN governor Will he entitled to
exercise the functions of governor until a
governor cam he elected next November"
Representative Berry, of Kentucky, said:
"GoebePs death will have no effect upon
the situation in kentucky If the conten-
pson of the democrats is sustained by the
courts and If the courts DON'T sustass, 1T
the contest must still he decided bv the
legislature. If lit declares that C;oerbel was
elected and mot Tayor, then Beckham aus
Aeutenant governor will be the governor
until next fall, when there. will he a special
election"
Representative Vincent Boring, repubn-
can, OF London Ky, said that a peaceful
solution of the difficulty was more to he
desired than that any zone particular man
should (be declared governor
