Arthur Hartshorn of Warren, was on
his way nome to get married when he
was summoned to court at Mortified
by a subpoena. He could not postpone
either event, but decided to get mar
ried regardless of consequences. Hurry
and excitement caused him to forget
the license and he handed the minister
the subpoena. The minister decided il
was not the proper document, after
some study, and some scurrying was
done to get the regular writings. Court
took a recess owing to there being nc
witnesses present, and Hartshorn ap-
peared, next morning, and received
congratulations from the lawyers in
stead of recriminationS.

folk declared that the sinister figure of
Old Trickey could be seen hurrying as
he walled:
More rope! More rope! More
sand, More sand."
Even now when the sky lowers over
the sea, and the wind and waves mourn
together, they say: "Old Trickey is
binding sand tonight. God save the
fishing -smacks from harm.''
In the York Museum which is in the
old Jail of the town, Old Trickey's S
Bible is one of the most cherished Gu
riosities, though few of the villagers
care to turn the leaves of the book, be-
cause of its reputation as a haunted or
cursed volume. the covers of which fly
shut in the hands of the reader.
1t seems strange that the legends and
traditions of New England have been
so little used in American literature.
Hawthorne and Longfellow We're the
only American writer's who drew their
inspirations from these sources. Haw-
thorne's work was pregnant with the
sombre color of New England tradition.
Longfellow was influenced somewhat
by the form of the Scandinavian SagaS.
but the character, color, and spirit of
his greatest poem, THE Song of Hi
awatha," is drawn from the aboriginal
American.
American literature and art will be-
come more characteristic. both in con-
ception and expression, when the ma
terial around us is properly appreciated
and intelligently used, and no section
is more prolific in such material than
the New England seaboard. The stu
dent of New England character and
New England manners will find some
curious links between the New Eng
landers of today and the New Eng
landers of the past, who believed in
witches and dreams. and who laid
spirits by fasting and prayer.

Mistakes are sometimes ludicrous as

from a lame knee for several DAYS dis
covered in the medicine cupboard what
she supposed was Iiniment and used ii
freely upon the affected part. Inquiry
subsequently being made by some of her
family as to her condition, she informed
them that the remedy she had used had
given the best of satisfaction and her
lameness had entirely disappeared. Be
ing questioned as to the remedy she had
been using she brought forth the bottle.
and to her surprise was informed that
she had been bathing her knee in a prep
aration which her son had purchased to
destroy vermin upon his colt. But 1t
cured her. which was more than many
nostrums advertised for lameness can do.

SAID HE WAS No SPEAKER.-Wm. AL
den Smith, Of Michigan, illustrating the
value of honesty in politics, told sto-
ry the other day of an old governor Of
Michigan, who became a candidate on
condition that he should not be asked
to make speeches. An occasion arose,
however when the regular orators
were absent from meeting, and the
crowd insisted on hearing from the
candidate himself. He walked to the
front and bravely announced that he
was no speaker, with considerable rep
etition, and after little halting pro-
ceeded to talk for three-quarters Of an
hour. When the meeting was over the
candidate had quite come to the con-
clusion that he was speaker after all,
and especially did he feel so when an
old farmer came up to him to say that,
although a lifelong Democrat, he had
decided as a result Of what he had
heard, to vote this time for the Repub-
lican candidate. Before the latter, in
his bushes, could stammer out re-
sponse, the farmer continued: What
we want as governor is honest men.
You are one. You said you were no
speaker. You told the truth. I shall
vote for you"

Joe BaIIanfant's Horse.

Senator Carmack's comparison OF
President Roosevelt to a Tennessee
horse whose natural gait was running
away" has touched the risibles of the
nation. The stenographic report OF
Senator Carmack's remarks in the Con-
gressional Record, shows his exact Ian
guage to have been: HE resembles In
his habits Of speech my friend Joe Bal
lanfants horse, Of which remarkable
animal it was said that running away
was his natural gait"
The Columbia Herald says the Incl
dent upon which the witticism was
founded, occurred while Senator Car
mack was a schoolboy at Gulleoka. Joe
Ballanfant was then a dashing young
cavalier and an ex-Confederate soldier,
and was very much admired among the
ladies. He rode in those days what
The Herald describes "as a crazy gray
horse" and one day, 1t is related, me
came careening down the road In
cloud of dust" AS he passed the
school the boys, among whom was the
future senator, watched with glowing
admiration the gallant equestrian and
his caracoling steed, and one of them
shouted:
''Is he running away, Joe?"
Running away?" replied Joe.
Thunder! Running away is his natur-
al gait"
The story has survived all these
wears in Maury county, but 1t remained
for Carmack to tell it to the nation and
thus immortalize that remarkable
steed.-Nashville Banner.

Of school still remains as fresh and
strong as If the characters who anima-

vigor. Chapter after chapter could be
written with the incidents and episodes,
the men and the work. of that day as
their subject. Nowhere could a richer
field be found and amidst all Of its
pages there stands one name resplend-

force, as we'll as for its gallantry and
chivalry. That name Is Felix Kirke

field Of Fisher Creek, with the hard

vile in 1852 with John l.. Marling and
the beautiful way in which the affair
was sealed.
That year was the scene Of the Pierce
and Scott presidential campaign. John
L. Marling, who was a caustic and fear
less writer, was editor of The Union.
and Gen. Zollicoffer was editor Of The
Republican Banner. Over the issues Of
the campaign quite heated argument
had been created and sarcasm and in
rective ran riot in the pages Of the two
antagonistic journals. The Union,
dated August 20, capped the climax.
Even the printers who set the editorial
matter up in that issue. knew that there
would be trouble as soon as they began
setting 1t up.
General Zollicoffer felt that the edi-
torial Of that date was entirely too per-
sonal, and he sent word to Marling that
he demanded redress. Matt Brown, Of
Nashville, acted as best man for Gene
raj Zollicoffer, and, after a parley with
Marling in such language as was re-
quired to express his idea Of him;
