A Promoters Hurnor.

Charles r. Flint has quaint Yankee
humor which is as well developed to-
day as in his school years. In the
Polytechnic Institute the markings
were on the basis of one hundred and
were bulletined monthly. One day q
group of boys Were looking at the new
bulletin, on which one of the hopeless
billiards of the class was marked
siXty-siX.
Flint said slowly:
'Sixty-six. that's the very number Of
our year, and l hope when we get to
80 Jack will receive that figure"
Once a sanctimonious person re-
marked:
"Children should never be allowed to
play with toys on Sunday"
May they not play with religious
toys:" he queried.
There are no religious toys. SIR
Excuse me, there are"'
"What are theyl then, sir:"
"Noahs arks."

Boy Never FIinched.

Otto kloehn, a young lad working as
back tender at the Thilmany paper mills
at kaukauna, got his hand caught be-
tween the calendars. crushing the bones
of two fingers and completely stripping
the flesh and skin from the hand as far
as the wrist. The cuticle was found
hanging to his finger tips. DR. Titus, the
physician. fixed up the two broken fin
gers and drew the abraded skin on to the
hand something after the manner of a
glove. closing the wound with forty-fiye
stitches. The little fellow stood the pain
full operation without anaesthetics and
never once fiinched.

The coroner's jun in the Straight poi
soning case at Sparta rendered verdict
Of suicide. Rose Straight, aged II years,
died the other night under very mysteri-
Gus circumstances at the home Of her
mother, just out OF the city. The girl
was taken sick about in the afternoon
and died between s and 8. No doctor
was called until after the girl was dead.
At the time of her death Ruth Straight,
: her sister, was with her. The doctor
said that death was caused by poison.
Before she died she swore TO her sister
that she had no idea what had caused
her death Many people are unwilling to
accept the verdict of suicide and the dis
trict attorney has been asked to investi-
gate. A box of rough on rats was found
in the house, but physicians say that was
not the drug taken by the girl.

STALLINGS DECLINES
WILL NOT MEET MIR. HEFLIN IN
 JOINT DEBATE.
The Butler County Speaker Willing to Contest With Messrs. Clarke or Bankhead, But Not
 Mir. Hefin.

Hon. Jesse F Stallings of Butler Coun- ty, has declined to meet Hon. J. Tom Hefiin of Chambers County, in joint de- bate or rather General C. M. Shelley. Chairman of the Anti Ratification Cam paign Committee, has declined for MT. Stallings, who uD to late last night, had paid no attention to the telegrams sent to him at Greenville and at Hayneville. In fact there is an intense silence reign ing in the vicinity of Mir. Stallings's whereabouts.
 It will be remembered that Charles B. Teasley, Chairman of the Montgomery County Democratic Campaign Committee, telegraphed a challenge to MT. Stallings to meet Mir Hefiin in Montgomery and discuss the proposed new Constitution Mir. Teasley also teIegraphed to General Shelley. These telegrams were sent Wed nesday afternoon. IL was desired by the Ratifcationists that the joint debate should be arranged to take place Tn Mont gomery either last night or tonight and Mir. Hehin spent yesterday in Montgom- erv awaiting an answer from MT. Stall- ings or his campaign managers.
 The hours dragged heavily by yesterday and no answer came from MT. Stallings. Neither did the telegra2hic clicks that came southward from Birmingham con vey any intelligence from General Shelley. Ardent Ratifcationists grew anxious. It was even hinted that the Antis were try ilS lO uLlu tdCu JULIET. i@dSt IkAh' ho"- ever. General Shelley broke the silence. A telegram came. It was couched in doubtful terms. MT. Stallings will not meet MT. Heflin," 1t said in substance. but he will meet Hon. R. H. Clarke of Mobile. or Hon. J. H. Bankhead of Fay cite"
 George W. Jones. member of the Demo- cratic Campaign Committee from the Sec ond Congressional District, was disap- pointed. MT. Teasley was disappointed. Mr. Hefiin was disappointed. He will go to his home in Lafayette this afternoon but said he would probably speak In Montgomery before the election.
 The friends of Mir Heflin avow that he Is the same character of speaker as MT. Stallings and that this is known to MT: Stallings. The telegram from General Shelley they claim, is a simple evasion. MT. Stallngs. they say simply does not ant to meet the broadsides of the speak CT from Chambers
 ""The counties in the Second District are in better shape now than ever before. said George w. Jones last night. we will carry the counties that returned ma jorities against the call for the Conven- tion. I have every reason to believe We will carry Butler County. the home of MT Stallings."
 MT. Jones announced last night that the engagement of Hon. John B. Knox to sneak in Montgomery on the night of November 1st mad been indefinitely post poned. It is doubtful if Mir. Knox will be able to speak in Montgomery during the campaign.
