Hawthorne Had Little
Use For Politicians.

Correcting some inaccuracies in a
published statement, George Edwin
Jepson of the Boston Custom House,
writes to the Boston Herald saying:
Hawthorne was not a weigher in
the Boston Custom House in 1S39-41
but measurer, the two offices at that
period being essentially distinct. Nor
was he turned out of office by the
Wings in lS41, as you state, and un-
due odium is thereby cast upon that
party. In the Boston Custom House
archives is an official copy of letter
from Collector Bancroft, which noti-
fies the Treasury Department at Wash
ington that Nathaniel Hawthorne re-
signed his position Jan. /, 1S4l. The
Wings did not assume power until the
following March, and consequently
could exert no pressure to force out a
Democratic officeholder before that
date.
Hawthorne. in fact. had never been
contented in official harness from the
first. He felt out of place amid the
associations of official life. When
scarcely a year in place he writes thus
in his private journal: I pray that in
one year more | may find some way of
escaping from this unblest custom
house, for it is a very grievous thrall-

The medical profession has con
ferred no small boom on many suffer
ers by invenung a Greek, or pseudo
Greek, term for their otherwise demo
cratic complaints, says the London
Graphic. The last of these inventions
is recorded this week. The disease is
fussiness, and the medical name is
mysophobia. The mysophobe is he
who, when seated by his table, lifts
his glass to see If it is fingered. and
il he detects a smudge uses his nap
Ain to dispose of IT, In short, myso-
phobia is the eNaggeration of that re-
spect for cleanliness which convinced
Svengan of the madness of English
men when he surprised the Laird in
his matutinal tub. The lady in the
play who seized on everyone's watch
chain and began rubbing it with cha
mois rathar was a mysophobe, and
the irritating man who begs your
pardon and picks some microscopic
piece &c fun from your sleeve is an
orner. The servant who insists on
busting papers is another, and the dis
ease IS widely prevalent among all
housekeepers iu the spring. 1t is nice
to know at last what to call it. but the
medical press is more inclined to sug.
gest scientific names than remedies.

The Living Dead.
BY GIDEON HICKS.

Copyright 1902. by Daily Story Pub. Coz
George Bartman was travelling west
for the rest and recreation he needed
after some years of absorption in a
| successful business in an eastern city.
He had stopped over for a few days
in a Colorado town and was standing
on the platform of the railway sta
ton awaiting the arrival of the train
which was to carry him on his jour
ney farther west. The train was twen-
~ minutes late and he was willing
away the time watching the scenes
about him.
There was some commotion in front
of a saloon near the station. A man
and woman seemed to be strug.
Cling, while an interested crowd of
loungers laughed and ieered
Moved by curiosity the Traveller
walked towards the saloon. and as
he drew near he heard the woman
pleading:
you've drunk enough, Jim. Please
come home"
At the sound of her voice Bartman
stopped suddenly, and then on i'm
pulse hurried forward. Making his
way through the crowd he saw a
brutish-looling man-red-eyed and
bloated-and a slattern1y woman
holding to his arm and trying to
draw him away from the saloon. The
woman, it could be seen, had once
been beautiful, but she was now a
pitful wreck.
rs she his wife?" asked a by
stander.

She come here with Jim Shofter
bout five years ago. He 'peared to
have lots O. money and they lived
high-hyin' life. Jim got to gamblin'

into the gutter and she went with
him. l s'pose she's one O. them fool

how much he abuses her."
Does he beat herr"
Treats her like a Cog, and she
hangs to him like a dog in spite Of
his cussedness, as if her salvation de-
pended on him."
Shofter shook himself free from the
woman and made his way unsteadily
into the saloon. The woman followed
him and others of the crowd went in.
Bartman also entered the saloon.
g OTTER was standing at the counter
as the bartender prepared to serve
him a drink of some vile, cheap stuff
for the nickel he had placed on the
bar. The woman took hold of him
again and said,
Jim, you shan't drink any more
Come away"
Shofter turned fiercely and mutter-
ing an oath, struck her in the face.

corner of the room.
No one else moved except the

her hands, covered down by the
counter.

After the Sunday School service
Sunday afternoon, Veterans Meeting
was held, which was a delightful sea-

members participated and told what
Asbury Church had done for them.
The meeting was in charge of Mr..
John b. Cooper and was one of the
most Instructive features of the Jubi-
lee. The principal speaker at this
meeting was the Rev. George A.
Phoebus of Brooklyn N. Y. who read
an interesting and entertaining paper
entitled Early Methodism in Smyrna. {"
The paper will be published in full in
future issue of the TIMES. His
paper opened the way for some inter
esting discussion on the part of those
who had been connected with the
church for over fifty years. A number
were present who remembered the old
church as it stood in the southeast
corner of the old Methodist Cemetery
