WASHINGTON IN LIGHTER VEIN.

While Senator Vest was speaking in
the Senate Senator Allison told story
about him, says the Baltimore News.
Vest was a member IF the Confederate
Congress during the Civil War. Some Of
his constituents alleged that, being an
able bodied man, it would be just as we'll
if he took a gun and went out and did
some fighting instead of loafing around
Richmond making laws.
Vest acquiesced. He got a gun and
went to war. His first engagement was
little affair in which the Confederates
were whipped. They started to retreat,
Vest we'll up in the front. He met
man from his own town in Missouri.
Say, JIM" said Vest, when you go
back home tell those folks you have
seen me in battle
'All right" replied jim starting away
And say, Jim," shouted Vest after
him, while you're about it, you might
tell them that no other human being will
ever see me in another
Representative Cowherd, of Missouri
was stopped in corridor of the Capitol
today, says the Washington correspou-
dence of the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can, by a man who greeted him with the
inquiry: What do you know?"
That" said Cowherd, reminds me OF
a constituent of mine. He was a brainy
young lawyer, but no business came to
him. and he was getting desperate. His
affairs were in very exasperating shape
one day, when a man stopped him and
asked him in all friendliness what he
knew.
What do l know" he cried angrily
'Ill tell you what l know. I know a
blank sight more than there seems to
be any market for in these parts"
Tom Ochiltree, the great story teller,
knows one yarn that he is not disposed
to repeat" remarked Mr.. Frank B.
Read, of Dallas, Texas, at the st. James
last evening. I'm an unguarded moment
Tom told it to me. and it's good, and
don't mind giving it to you. 1t was this
way: After the war a warm friendship
sprang up between Gen. Grant and Tom
Ochiltree, although they had fought on
large number of people who had been
under him to Federal offices, he also
appointed Ochiltree-Tom had been un-
der him in a sense. Tom was made
United States Marshal in Texas.
We'll, you know, in those days Tom
took a deep interest in the ponies. and
was sort of patron saint of racing in

A GREAT EDITION,
Henderson Gold Leaf.

Henderson Gold Leaf,
Sundays News and Observer was
Charleston Exposition number, twenty
four pages, admirably illustrated and
full of interesting matter descriptive of
the South Carolina Inter State and West
Indian Exposition, in addition to the
regular news and other features of the
paper. 1t was a great edition, devoted
to a great cause, as all the News and
Observers special editions are. Such
publication cannot fail to create inter-
est and enthusiasm in behalf of the Ex
position and induce a larger attendance
of North Carolinians. Messrs. Richard
Battle and Edward E. Britton, two of
the brightest and most capable men on
the staff of the News and Observer,
were the special ambassadors assigned
to this work-and right well they have
performed it.

In its sixteen illustrated pages bearing
upon and descriptive of the Exposition
it gives a vast amount of information
which will be very useful to persons con-
templating visiting it, as it presents an
advance view which will greatly aid the
visitor in studying it to advantage. The

much credit for the cleverness with
which they did it and the News and OBJ

Has Grown Upon the People.
(Webster's Weeklv.)

No man has grown upon North Caro-
linians the past few years like DR..
Charles d. McIver, president of the
State Normal and Industrial College.
The more they see of him the better
they like him. North Carolina has
never had a man who could talk more
''horse sense" and arouse more enthus-
iasm in an educational address than DR..
McIver. He has more invitations to
speak than he can possibly fill.
