NEW SHORT STORIES


Public curiosity as to who really ST.
cured TO former Governor Thomas G.
Jones the appointment as federal dis
trict judge in Alabama has never abat-
ed, but IT will he at last satisfied by
the following story told by the Mont
gomery correspondent of the Louisville
CouricrJournal in connection with
President Roosevelt's first southern
Democratic appointment: The man
who did it was General Stewart l..
Woodford Of New York. or course he
didn't do it all by himself but he first
suggested it long before Mr.. Mckinley
died and when it was expected that
Judge Bruce would retire in February,
1902. General WoCdford and Judge
Jones have been warm personal
friends for many years. General Wood
ford was working up the matter with
Mr.. Mckinley and had an easy thing
of it with Mr.. Roosevelt. All that Gov
ernor Jones ever did was to say he
would take the office.
The story was brought out by q sill
yer loving cup which Judge Jones sent
to General Woodford as New Years
present. The principal inscription reads
as follows: Papa, I'm SO glad we
didn't shoot him. Meta" This inscrip-
ton tells the story and originated in
this way: When Mr.. Jones was APP
pointed judge and went up home to
dinner, the children put after him to
know who got it for him. He laughed
and answered, "WCll. if anybody got it
for US it was General Stewart =.
Woodford."
"What! That Yankee general WHO
took dinner with us that time?" asked
his little daughter Meta.
"IIe is the man." answered the gov
ernor.
Papa, I'm so glad we didn't shoot
him. exclaimed little Miss Meta.
And that IS the story of loving cup
that has both sentiment and political
history carved on its shining surface,
