WILLING TO SMASH

as AZ hun W no was Made
the Victim of n Very Cruel Joke.
young man, who clerks in we'll
known retail store on Main street
was the victim of huge Joke yester-
day He is strict Christian member
OF one of the leading churches, and al
so strong temperance advocate. and
while the State guard were here. he
made several addresses to the soldiers
on temperance. This pious young
man is truly honest in his work, and
has done much good, but in this store
there is number of young lady clerks
who enjoy jokes.
Yesterday one of the girls, who has
black hair and eyes, and pretty face,
conceived the idea of a good joke, and
told the other clerks she was going to
call up the young man and tell him
{ she was Carrie Nation. The young
lady went out and called by telephone.

The young mans knees became
weak. but then it struck him that he
was important when Carrie had heard
of him. His answer was: Mrs. Ma
| ton, | am glad to meet and am in full
sympathy with you and your work"
The supposed Carrie told him of his
bright future and how much good he
would do in the world and that peo-
pie had told her that his face beamed
with goodness. The flattery worked
wonders. Carrie stated that she
would speak at a certain church last
! evening and would like for him to
give a fifteen minute talk and intro
duce her. The young man said he
would be glad to, only he could not
get off at that time. Carrie told him
there would be an after meeting and
she would be glad for him to talk
then. He readily consented. Then he
was told to bring an ak with him.
This almost took his breath and he
replied: 4 thought you had quit
smashing"
NO, my dear boy, that is untrue |
am still in the business, and am going
to smash tonight. After our meeting
we women will go out with our hatch
cts and smash and we want you with

Commodore did say Dam the Texas
Continuing he said that the dia-

that he had denied its verbal accuracy,
while not denying the truth of part
of it. He could not repuiiate the en-
tire statement.

Commodore Schley had not said, as re-
ported, that the Brooklyn was too near
Spaniards.

Mr.. Hanna then asked when the
Brooklyn turned with port helm did
she blanket the fire of the Texas? Did
she go between the Texas and the

"Perfectly-perfectly clear enough
space"
How much would she have gained

she turned with starboard heinz"
She would have gained a position
of about 600 or 700 yards nearer the
Spanish line
Would that distance have been re-
duced by reversing the port engne?"

three feet from himself tthe winess)
and that Capt. Cook, a part of the time
stood in the door of the coming tower

When the witness was asked if he
thought there was any such an EXPIRES

When | suggested to Commodore
Schley that there was danger.of collid

How far did she go from the
