Kentucky Man Gets into Trouble for
Throwing His Right Hand
Behind Him.

The worst licking 4 ever got III my
life was for throwing my hands behind
me" said a man from Kentucky. and
the wonder is that got off with my
life. had been hanging around a little
station in Todd county waiting for
train, and being stranger in that re-
gion Of the State, I had but little to say
to the men who stood around the depot.
l will not mention the name OF the place.
for might by some strange throw of the
dice have to go back there again. but 7
will remark, by the way, that the men
Of that section had a reputation for
shooting on but slight provocation. and
this was one reason why l did not care
to get into conversation with the men
around the depot. You can never tell,
you know, when a friendly chat is go
ing to wind up in a riot in Kentucky
at least in certain sections Of the State.
Il felt that I was in just such a sec
tion on the day in question. II held my
tongue. But along about train time a
1nediul1l-siZed man approached me and
made remark which, did not quite
catch. whats that? asked sharply,
and at the same time threw my hand
behind me and reached down In my hip
pocket. Before I fully realized it some
thing was happening to me-, and it was
Of a furious and fast nature. The Ken
tuckian had simply cra'wled all over me.
He swept the depot platform with me
almost in a 1iffy. When he let go 7 was

clothes were covered with dust, my face
was bruised and black, and WAS other

pull a pistol? No, indeed. never had

into any sort Of trouble at the moment

ing for & gun. He was taking no chances
and he gave me one Of the best maulings

A HUMOROUS. CUSTOM.
But Not for tile Principle Parties In

They have humorous custom in Bur

exactly, Of carrying out the sentence OF
a lower court while the case is under ap-s

was an appeal against certain sentences.

SUPPLIES MANY BUILDINGS.

The proof OF the adase, "a prophet is
rot without honor save IN his own conn-
Try" was strikinslv Illustrated in the
case of the Richmond Wood Working
Company at the very outset Of its SPLEEN
cid career. During the twelve months
following the launching Of the enterprise
the comparatively small force was occu-
pted almost exclusively In work for Nor
folk buildings.
But that state OF affairs did rot last
long. Richmond architects and builders
became convinced that the new company
was fully equipped for the best work.
and crowded the firm with orders. which
have grown in volume with each sue
ceediug year.
It was in 1886 that the Richmond Wood
Working Company started in the manu-
factUre of wooden butter discs. shortly
adding the planning of lumber, and. later,
equipping The plant for the manufacture
Of sash, doors. and blinds.
