travelled about the country, some
times, sad to say, afoot Very often
salary day was skipped, but when the
ghost didn't walk he consoled himself
with the hope that it would next time.
He finally gave up in despair, and
came home with All unconquerable de-
sire to eat. He still has hisrrionio
ambitions, but has made his last ap-

he used were sufficient to support the

Observations
....at Random

Check my trunk to Memphis
please" was the order given illinois
Central Baggagcman William Flowers
by drummer yesterday.
Let me have your ticket, please, ="
Mr.. Flowers replied.
At this the drummer became in
dignsnt and demanded to know If
the baggageman questioned his hon
esty. do you doubt that | have q
ticket? Do you not know me, and
know that have never failed to have
the necessary credentials? ?" he shout
ed.
"No sir, but we don't do business
that way and if You want your bag
gage checked you will have to sight
me. We treat all alike and play no
favorites. "
The drummer finally drew out his
mileage book with several miles re-
naming, but not enough to check the
trunks TO Memphis. IL is exactly
what the baggageman expected and Of
course he did not check the trunk.
The drummer simply wanted his bag
gage checked through to headquarters
intending himself to stop off at home.
Such little things happen every day,
and the discontinue of the drummer,
which was due to his own act, will
likely make him a mortal enemy Of
tho baggageman. These tricks are
tried every day. Sometimes they are
successful and sometimes they are
not.

vote against the COW that has here

favor of letting the COW go where she
wants TO, returned home to sleep the
sleep Of the Just. The first thing he
realized the following morning when
he arose was that something had
struck his front yard. 1t played
havoc with all the flowers and shrub
berry, and converted the yard into a
first class curiosity. There was I'M
mistakable evidence that COW had
wrought the damage, and now tine

The presentation 1.-THE Hunchbsck
Of Notre Dame" at The Kentucky has
revived an interesting story OF when it
was played here many years ago at the
old st. Clair hall. There are many
people in Paducah who doubtless re-
member the incident. Louise Pomroy
was starring in the play then, and had
an elaborate production. The bunch
back wore red wig, and in the I'M
pressive scene where he waves the
torch from the tower to summon the
people to witness the death of the
monk his wig caught on fire, and he
had to take it off and extingulsh the
confagration before the play could
proceed. The interruption, however,
did not mar the performance, and the
services of the fire department were
not needed, but it created general
laugh for few moments.
A colored employe of the street car
company was seated in a depot car
the other morning when the passen-
gers noticed that he wore a badge
numbered "13." Several incidents
relative to the superstition surround
ing this particular number were relst.
ed and one was of the patients in the
local |. @. hospital. On several &C.
casions and, IN fact. whenc yer there
are thirteen seated at the dining table
in the colored department, one is
forced to yacate. generally the last to
come. Another thing. colored "a
tient will rarely enter. the hospital on
the 18th of the month, but will wait
one day whether badly injuied or i'll.
It is very seldom that colored man
will go to work for the company on
the l3th and never IL that date falls on
Friday.

Al Woman With Nerve.

Talk about nerve, the people
in this country, and especially
the women, are obliged to have
an abundance. Mr.. and Mrs.
r. J. johnson have been living on
their claim on the Big Fork
river, at Ripple postoffice. Wed.
nesday morning Mr.. Johnson got
ready to start for Phena. to go
from there to Bemidji. Mrs.
Johnson informed him, and In
terms that stood no contradic.
ton, that she was going with
him. that she would not stay
there alone. He tried to talk her
out Of the idea, but she was not
50 easily scared and off they
started. The difference between
here and Ripple is fourty.two
miles and twenty four miles Of it
is through big sWamps, where at
times Mrs. Johnson was up to
her knees in the cold water, but
she plodded along without a
murmer and made the trip in
less than two days, and she can
claim the distinction of being the
first woman to cross the big
swamps in the month Of April.
Tt is a trip few men are willing
to undertake. Bridgie News.

And when any PIN head of the

for the beneitof all, quote what
Bob terms a religious person
and a good Christian.
His doctrine was that "the
American people have brains
enough and nerve enough and
courage enough to control them
selves without any assistance
from any priest On preacher
His religion was, Help for the
living, hope for the dead. " What
noble sentiment ia those few
words. The Christian is the
person that speaks well Of his
neighbor, does not blaspheme,
and IS always ready with y help

every mind should be true to

and conclude for itself. This is
q duty alike incumbent upon
pauper and prince. Every soul
should repel dictation and tyr
amy, no matter from whatsource
they come, from earth orheaven,
from men or God, every man on
the face Of this earth should give
to another his best idea as to the
road they should take, but not
when they are hirelings upon one
certain creed. Each is entitled
to the honest opinion Of all and
there IS but one way to get an
honest opinion upon any subject
whatever. The person giving
the opinion must be free from
fear; no danger Of being burned
at the stake these times for ex-
pressing your opinion. The days
of total depravity and ignorance

liberty, and free thought takes
the place Of barbarism and ignors
ance. Not one Of the orthodox
ministers dare preach what he

otherwise. He knows that every
member stands guard over his

not supposed to speak the truth,
he is employed to defend the
creed.
