SOME O'NEIIL STORIES,
Yarns About n Former st. Louis Con-
gressmnu.


Whenever I hear discussion about DO.
litical platforms and the attitude OF pa rites
regarding them" says an old newspaper
man In the Washington Star 81 recall al
episode that occurred at Old Point Com
fort during the naval rendezvous previous
to the Worlds fair at Chicago. You know
there Is national soldiers home al
Hampton. near Old Point, and II was only
natural, in view of the great event In
Hampton Roads. that the national hoard
which governs the home should take ad-
vantage of the occasion to make an off1cial
visit to the Hampton institution. General
Franklin, General Steve Avery and sew
eral other members OF the board were
there. and had determined to make an in
spection of the home and its inmates on a
Sunday morning
John O'Neill, then a representative IN
congress from a st. Louis district, and
were invited by General Avery to accom-
pany the party to Hampton. Everybody
who knew O'Neill remembers what de-
lightful brogue he possessed. When
Avery asked him to enter the carriage then
at hand and make the trip he quickly re-
Piled:
I'D go In a minute. gin'l but I've got e
go { mass
Avery endeavored to impress upon him
the fact that he could attend mass any
Sunday. but turnout Of old veterans was
not to be seen so easily.
"O'Neill still refused and Avery still in
sisted, until at last / looked at my watch.
and, observing the time, remarked to
O'Neill that he was too late to attend mass
and be there at its most solemn portion,
because communion time had passed. Sat =
isfying himself on this point. and express
ing his regret that he had been cajoled into
delaying his pious purpose. O'Neill got in
the carriage with Avery and myself As
we started off Avery said to him:
John, you seem to stick as Loyalty to
your religious platform as you do to your
political platform.
" Bedad. that's thrue, ginl.' he replied.

Premature Enthusiasm Breaks Up N
Little Game.


Little Game.
1t was the noon hour and there were "A
dozen hands gathered in the tobacco
warehouse-all very black, relates Harper's
Magazine. Various forms of petty gambling
had been tried without fully satisfying their
gaming instincts. Then Steve, who was big
and fat, said;
Boys. less make up er puss. Less all
put in err nickel and den let de pile go to
de pussol what names de bes eatings.
Marse Jimmy IL be de jedge."
This was agreed to and soon there was a
little heap of nlckels on the box around
which they were gathered.
Now" said Steve. well draw for de fust
GO" The next moment he grnned with de-
light as he drew the marked slip from
Marse Jmmy's hat, He paused for space
as he gave the weighty matter adequate
consideration, then he said, slowly:
"Um, yaes, de bes' eatings! Well, I says
possum, taters, watermillion-"
small black hand shot forward and
snatChed up one of the coins.
"Whatcher doing, Charlie, you sneaking
houn' dog?" roared Steve, in rage.
"Shet up. you blam' fool nigger!'
answered Charlie detiantly. "Yo' think Is

WHEN GREEK MEETS GREEK.
Relative Merits of Copper Mines In
Utah and wyoming.

Six months ago a young Chicago man
was seized with a severe attack OF mining
fever, reports the Tribune. and went out
west to try to cure II. He finally located
up in Wyoming, where he got possession OF
some undeveloped copper claims, which
promise to make him a Millionaire. He
came back to Chicago a few weeks since to
form a syndicate for their development.
To say that he is enthusiastic over his
prospects in copper would be to understate
the truth. His pockets are filled with
chunks Of copper ore and he spends most
Of his waking hours talking copper to any
one who will listen. His friends have some
times even feared OF his sanity on the sub
ject One evening this week he started to
ride down town in Clark street cable.
He was accompanied by a friend. who sat
with him on the car seat and tried his best
to keep his mind off the subject OF min
ing The two were talking together about
the coming holidays and there was SO sign
OF an eruption, when, half mile nearer
town, couple of strangers got on the car
and sat down exactly opposite. The cop
per fend was on the inside and his friend
noticed that almost as soon as the strangers
boarded the car he commenced to stir un-
easily In his seat. Presently the friend
discovered to his horror that the strangers
were talking about copper. The Wyoming
miner stood it as long as he could. Then
he leaned across the car and addressed
the stranger who sat nearest.
Say" he broke in shrilly, II hear you
are talking about copper. I'm a copper
miner myself. I've got some claims in
Wyoming that are the richest In the world "
One of the strangers rose to the challenge
Instantly MY mines are In Utah, young
man." he said, land tell you the ore that
comes from them can't be peat."
Down into one pocket the champion of
Wyoming plunged his hand and brought 1t
out, clutchng a huge piece of copper ore
his rivals nose.
There" he cried, have you got any
| thing thatll touch that?"
The other man was not far behind him.
| He also had his pockets full OF rocks, one
of which he promptly proceeded to pull out
| and wave in the face OF the ma across from
| him. Both were now talking at once and
| the passengers began to fear that a serious
| encounter was imminent, Finally the con-
| ductor came In.
Say, If you fellows don't quit I'll call
| cop" he said II ought to have you ar
rested anyhow for running around with
your pockets full OF big stones. You act
like holdup men"
Then the friend spoke up
They're only talking over little mining
deal" he said. Here's where we get off
| the car"
So the relative merits Of the copper min
ing regions OF Wyoming and Utah are stiIl
unsettled.

Dubois County Demo crazy.

The recent canvass in Dubois
county demonstrates that the Dem
ocracy OF the county can be relied
upon for a good majority, when the
local officers Of the party organiza-
ton keep aloof from all personal
feuds, and are willing, for the time
being, to subordinate their personal
ambitions to the good Of the party
generally. Every Democrat feels
good over the splendid result in Du
bois county at the last election, and
in reply to letters calling attention
to it by Chairman Wilson, the fol-
lowing congratulatory responses
have been received, ard will be read
with interest by our people gener-
ally:
