TWO STORIES
OF Andrew Jackson and Peter
Cartwright, the Great Meth
OdiSt Preacher.
SELECTED.l

Shortly after the Battle of New
Orleans, conference of Methodist
ministers was held in Nashville,
Tenn, and Peter Cartwright was ap-
pointed to preach in one of the
churches on Sunday evening. AS
he arose to announce his text, there
was a stir in the congregation and he
paused until the excitement should
subside. The pastor of the church
took advantage of the opportunity to
pull the skirt of the preachers coat
and admonish him in whisper:
Brother Cartwright, you must be
careful how you preach tonight,
Gen. Jackson has just come in" In
loud tone, Cartwright replied,
"What do you suppose L care for
Gen. Jackson?" If he don't repent
of his sins and believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ he will die and be
damned like any other sinner" and
then proceeded with his sermon.
The next morning as the preacher
passed the generals quarters in his
morning stroll servant ran after
him with a message that General
Jackson wished to speak with him.
Turning, his hand was grasped by
the hero, who shook it heartily, say
ing, "Sir, you are a man after my
own heart; if | had regiment of
men as brave as you, and you for the
chaplain, I'd agree to conquer any
nation on earth,'
Mr.. Cartwright travelled circuit
near the Hermitage and was often
the generals guest. One Sunday
morning the preacher had gone home
from church with his friend and a
number of visitors to dine. At the
table was young Nashville lawyer
who desired to exhibit his wit at the
expense of the backwoods preacher
Addressing him across the table, he
said: "Mr. Cartwright, do you really
believe in any such place as hell?
know you preach great deal about
it, and that's all very well, but
want your private opinion; you are
certainly too intelligent man tt
believe in anything of the kind
The lake of fire and birthstone was ;
prominent article in the preacher
creed. AS he paused an instant tC
consider how best to answer a foo
according to his folly, General Jack
son, impatiently humping the table
with his knife, broke in, "Mr. Jones
L believe in hell" you, Genera
Jackson, said the startled fledgling
"What possible use can you have fo
such placer" To put such inferna
fools as you in, sir" thundered tn,
infuriated host.

Two Pittsburgers interested in paint
Ing met in front of an art store win
dow down town and fell into CONVEX
sation regarding the jury that Is to
pass upon the paintings submitted for
exhibition in the coming display at
the Carnegie institu-,. There is,"
said one, "a similarity between the
functions of an art jury and those Of
the twelve men whose duty 1t Is to
try defendants indicted for murder" I"
Where is the similarity?' asked the
other why, both juries decide
whether the object of their investisa-
ton shall hang" THAT Is true. but
there is also strong dissimilarity."
How do you make that out?" The
art jury hangs the best pictures and
murder juries hang the worst mes" :"
II don't know that what you say u

whose pictures are rejected say not,

subject" And 1t was thersupon

Norman. o. T. Sept. 6.-Fire broke out
in the Cleveland county court house
Tuesday shortly after noon, in District
Clerk Williams Office but by quick work
on the part Of the fire department it was
auelched before much damage was done
Had it gotten more Roadway, one Of the
most disastrous fires in the history Of
Norman would have been inevitable The
fire caught on the inside of Mr.. william
desk. completely burning it up. and also
burned a big hole in the carpet Outside
OF two appearance dockets slightly
scorched. no other damage was done,
so far as can be ascertained.
Mr.. Williams is at a loss TO the origin
of the fire He left the office at about
11.SO that morning TO go to dinner and
says everything was all right at that
time. but thinks it possible that the
cause might be laid to the mice, who
were frequent visitors on the inside of
the burnt desk. and that they might have
got hold of a match, igniting and causing
the fire.
Altogether it was very narrow
escape for the court house and especially
the valuable records in the district clerk s
