A BUDDING HUMORIST.
Merry Memories of n First Meeting
Win Artemua Ward.

On going into the Cleveland Plain
Dealer editorial rooms one morning |
saw new man, who was introduced
to me rs Mr.. Browne.
lie was young cheerful in manner,
tail and slender, not quite up to date
In style Of dress, yet by no means
shabby. His hair was flaxen and very
straight; his nose. the prominent fea
ture Of his face, WAS Romanesque-
quite violently so-and with leaning
TO the left His eyes We're blue gray,
with a twinkle In them; his mouth
seemed 50 given 10 Il merry laugh. so
much In motion, that 1t was difficult
to describe.
It seemed as though bubbling In him
WAC a lot of happiness which he made
no effort to conceal or hold back.
When we were introduced, he was sit
ting at his table writing. He gave his
leg smart slap, arose, shook hands
with me and said he was glad to meet
me. | believed him, for he looked glad
all the time You could not look at
him but he would laugh. lie laughed
as lie sat at his table writing. When
he had written n thing which pleased
him. he would slap his leg and laugh.
| noticed that George IIOyt and
James Brokenshire at their tables were
pleased with his merrlment and in
dulged In broad smiles. As | babe him
and the others good morning he said,
Come again, me llege." / thanked
him, said / would and went my way,
thinking what a funny fellow he was
Within a month thereafter appeared
In the columns of The Plain Dealer
funny letter signed "Artemus Ward"
The writer said he was in the show
business, had u trained kangaroo, "a
most amoosln' little cuss." some
"snaix" and u collection of wax fig
ures which he called n great moral
show" As he was coming to Cleve-
land to exhibit, he made proposition
to the proprietor that they scratch
write up the show vigorously and the
Snowman to have the handbills print
ed Mt his office and give him free tick
cts for all his family. SO | found my
young friend of the gurgle and hay
celored hair to be an embryo humOrlst
just bursting into bloom. Artemus as
from that time he was best known,
soon had city full of friends myself
and family among them.-James T.

THE WAY OF A TORNADO.
One That Was Remarkable Both In
Appearance and Action.

One That Was Remarkable Both In
Appearance and Action.
"a tornado that was remarkable both
In appearance and In action was one
that Travelled from Texas across Okla
homa and Indian Territory In May,
1896" says Earl W. Mayo in Ainslee's.
a man in Sherman, Okla. who had ex-
ceptlonal opportunities for observing
the storm inasmuch us he was caught
up in 1t and carried several hundred
yards before descending to earth again,
shaped. He says of It.
1T looked TO me like great ball of
vapor rolling over and over toward
me, When | first saw 1t distinctly, 1t
was at a hill perhaps an eighth OF a
mile away. 1t seemed TO be about 80
yards wide and 100 feet high. The mo
ton was that of Il ball rolling over and
over, not spiral, and 1t came ON rather
slowly. perhaps thirty miles an hour.
Whatever the ball of cloud struck was
lifted right OF the ground
d" i saw 1t pick up house after house
between the hill and me. and the cloud
seemed TO be full Of flying boards and
tlmhers. When the ball reached Mrs.
C's, the house nearest me, 1t went
straight up off its foundations. The
house remained intact until 1t was
about twenty or twenty-five feet from
the ground, then 1t burst open and the
fragments few In all directions 1t
looked like an exploding bomb. The
corn and cotton standing hundred
feet ON either side of the storms path
We're uniniured, but whenever the
cloud struck the higher ground 1t
spread out, covering a wider strip OF
the surface.
"'When the cloud struck me, went
up lightly and easily and the sensation
was not unpleasant. but l came down
hard and was badly shaken up. al
though not seriously injured. on the
highway north of Sherman fence wires
were torn from the posts and pounded
into the hard surface of the road a dis
lance of two or three inches.

Confederate Pensions.

The state pension board has dis posed of the bulk of applications of exConfederate soldiers for pensions. While very few of these claims were rejected, great disappointment is yet in store for the veterans, owing to the fact that the amount of availa- ble funds for the payment of pen sions is far short of the amount re- quired to pay the claims allowed and the number which will doubtless re- ceive favorable action. 1t is esti- mated that for the present year pen sioners will not receive more than 20 per cent of the amount allowed them. Application to the number fo 4,ooo have been filed, the claims ranging in amount from S25 to $1OO

About Insane Asylum Employees.

Superintendent P. o. Hooper, of the State Insane Asylum, reports that he will have difficulty in carry ing out the orders of the board in filling the 105 positions at the insti- tuition wholly with citizens of the state. The order went forth four weeks ago, and up to date only five applications have been made. The order provides that the change shall be made within ninety days at most, but if there are no applicants the old employees must of necessity be re- tained. The order affects about twenty-five. There are as many more from outside the state who have been here long enough to be- come citizens, and who will not, therefore be displaced. Superinten- dent Hooper says that it is a profes- sion, and not a desirable one, as the only association from morning till night week after week is that of lunatics.

NEWS OF ARKANSAS.
Reedy Vance Convicted.

A jury at Perryville returned a verdict against Reedy Vance for the killing of Chinaman at Little Rock of murder in the first degree, the penalty being death. On June 4 last Vance entered restaurant run by the Chinaman and ordered a bowl of soup. After eating the soup Vance walked out of the place without pay ing the nickel. The Chinaman fol- lowed him to the sidewalk demand ing pay, when Vance pulled pistol and shot him down. A change of venue was taken to erry county, the defendant claiming that he could not get a fair trial in Pulaski county. The state proved that Vance shot the Chinaman without provocation. The defense set up the plea of self defense and insanity, the only evl- dence of justification being that of Vance himself. Several witnesses testified to peculiarities of the ac- cused, and dispositions were read showing that his father was of un- sound mind in the latter years of his life and that an. uncle had died ln an asylum. A physician, an expert on insanity, testified that he had exam ined Vance shortly after the killing, and found him to be of sound mind. Vance was known to be bad man when drinking, having killed two men in Little Rock, besides engag- ing in numerous difficulties. He also served on the county farm for the illegal sale of liquor, but was pardoned on condition that he never again engage in the whisky business. He is native of Mississippi, and IS highly connected. The case will be appealed to the supreme court, and should the verdict be approved, an effort will be made to have his sen- tence commuted to life imprison- ment.
