WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
Dog Causes Scramble

AS the Wayfarer was passing Eighth
and Monroe streets one day recently,
he witnessed one of the most ludicrOus
incidents that has been his province to
behold. A woman who had both arms
full of table cloths and ginger cakes
which she was taking to a bake at
West Presbyterian Church had gone in
to the drug store on the corner and
while she was engaged in making her
purchases. small black dog trotted
ND and stretched himself full length
upon the door step. In due time the
woman made her appearance but did
not notice the dog upon the step.
Her dainty No. came IN contact
with his tail and in an instant, dog,
table cloths, ginger cakes and the wO-
man were in a mix-up on the pave
mcnt The table cloths became tangled
with the woman's feet and when she
to rise she found she could
not do So The drug clerk hurried to
her assistance but she, instead OF
thanking him, poured upon his head a
string of abuse that was enough to
make him lose his religion. He tried
to explain that It was a dog and not he
who had caused the trouble, but she
did not sec the dog which had made of
as rapidly as his legs could carry him,
aHd refused TO believe that a dog had
anything to do with it.
People passing thought the drug
clerk had abused the woman and he,
observing the way matters were going,
lost no time in getting into the store
and hiding beneath the counters until
the woman had gathered up her cakes
and other belongings and disappeared
up the street Then he gained suifi-
cient courage to poke his head out OF
his hiding place and ask in a strange
whisper, HAS she gone?" =

THOMPSON OF LINCOLN WINS
United states Supreme Court Decides
In His Favor Against Capitol
National Bank.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Sin the United
States Supreme court Justice Brown today
delivered an opinion in the case Of Nc
Donald against d. =. Thompson. The case
involves the liability Of Thompson as a
stakeholder Of the failed Capitol National

point as to the applicability Of the statute
rs to limitation as to time In the matter
OF contracts, this statute prescribing nve
years in cases in which the contract is In

not in writing.
In this instance suit was instituted more
than four years and less than hve years

held that there was no contract in writing
in this case except a contract to pay for
the stock, but the conclusion was that this
was not a contract within the meaning of
the statute. Hence the decision was In
Thompson's favor.

Mr.. Tillman--I will drag into this dis.

Mr.. B~everidge-Now It Is an Associated

Mr.. Tillman-Then you either have a

you have not, and when the reports come
you say those are not ours"
Mr.. BeveriiEe-It is hopeless. When they
begin to discuss the constitution and we
take them up upon that they come to the

then we go to war. bloodshed, pillage and
murder.

After more sharp personal colloquy, the

culed each other, Mr.. Beveridge proceeded
to relate an incident OF the burning OF a
village, and said upon investigation II
proved that 1t was the act OF the insurg-
ents, his purpose being to disprove some
reports against the American soldiers. Mr..
TillmRn was on his feet again and asked
! MIR. BeverIdge: From whom do we get
the statements that the Insurgents or
rebels. or whatever they are did all this
burning7'
''The American authorities" replied Mr..
Beveridge..
and is, it customary" inquired Mr.. TILL
man, ito determine a case from ex parts

"Why does the senator always insist
retorted Mr.. BeverIdge. that any author
ity that comes FROM an American source Is
a falsehood, while everything that comes
from the enemy is the TRUTH"
For the same reason replied the
South Carolina senator, that while in my
own state when its capitol was burned In
1865, there was an infamous assertion that
we burned 1t, while everybody knew we did
not do So"
"Now, Mr.. President said Mr.. Bev-
