stock in the company. With this start the

PICKED UP FROM WAYSIDE
SHORT STORIES OF INTEREST ABOUT
PERSONS AND THINGS.
Booker T. .Washington's Visit Suggests
q Remfniscence-Justic stout's
House Cleaning.

The presence OF Booker T. Washington in
Indianapolis the other day suggested a
story OF how a young Southern woman de-
clined TO shake hands with the president
OF Tuskegee Institute. The story was re-
lated by a man who was in Washington at
the time Representative Crumpacker in
troduced his bill for new congressional
apportionment I'm certain sections of the
South. Abo that time a member of Con-
gress from alabama conceived the plan
OF taking a party OF excursionists from
Washington into his country. Representa-
tive Crumpacker was one of the invited
guests. but was unable to join the party.
One OF the excursionists was young wom-
an who may be known in the story as Miss
Brown" She was from the very heart Of
the South and was spending the season in
Washington. She had all the prejudices
OF her people against the colored man.
Some friends OF her joined the excursion
and she went along. II was toward the
close OF the long session of Congress and
very warm The itinerary of the party
included a visit to Tuskegee Institute. II
was arranged that President Washington
should receive the guests on the lawn. He
did so and most OF the excursionists being
Northern people greeted him cordially. At
length IL was time for Miss Brown 10 be
presented and she came forward. She
carried big fan. for the weather was
hot. and wore long. trailing skirts. After
she had been presented and as the party
was leaving the lawn one OF her friends
remarked TO her: Were you aware that
you did not shake hands with the presi-
dent?' -Oh. didn't II" she innocently re-
piled. '.why, thought / did" That even
ing Miss Brown" became confidential with
one OF her friends. Il couldn't bring my

Justice of the Peace Stout had planned
the other afternoon to 60 home and help
his family clean house. The weather was
ideal for that sort of work and the squire
sat in his office all morning planning what
he would accomplish that afternoon. About
2 o'clock he started to leave his Office for
his North Pennsylvania-street home AS
he passed out the telephone bell rang and
he answered it. 1t was a call requesting
him TO be at the county clerks Office at
particular time during the afternoon to per-
form a marriage ceremony. This rather in
terfered with his plans. but he decided that
he could not afford TO miss the fee, so he
stayed down town. At the appointed hour
he was at the clerks office and found
that the bride and groom were colored. He
performed the ceremony and the pair
started TO leave. Hold on said the jus
tice. there's something else-we usually
receive little pay for these ceremonies -
The dusky groom came back and asked
how much it was. "Oh, we usually get
from y 10 %, SAID the Justice Inc young
man scratched his head and troubled
smile passed over his countenancc as ne
remarked: Use veh sorry. squire. but TO
tell de honest truth l hasn't got a cent"
The justice wished the yoIus couple n
happy and prosperous matrimonial journey
and went back TO his office.
People who went TO the circus the other
afternoon missed the stentorian voice of
Lew Graham. whc used TO tell OF the won-
ders of the side show while the crowd was
gathering for the big show, and later made
the polished announcements of the different
events in the ring. Graham is an Indiana
boy. He left the Ringlings at the close of
last season TO join the Buffalo Bill show
in Europe. He married in England several
years ago while with the Barnum &
Bailey circus A few years ago he won
the sobriquet OF "Fog-horn'' Graham. Cir
Gus men are fond OF relating how Graham
once got ahead OF the Princeton University
students The Barnum show was playing
TO a big crowd at Princeton. and Graham
entered the ring 20 announce the concert
