HE GETS A MONEY ORDER.
With the Money He Doesn't Want to Spend When Out with
 the Boys.

"One of the queerest things l ever heard off," said young man, who sometimes keeps late hours, relates the Providence Journal, lis the action of a friend of mine, who has knack of saving, despite the fact that sometimes when he meets a friend he celebrates too much. He always, after he has had few drinks and realizes that he will take more before the end of the evening, takes an account of stock, as you may say. He finds a corner somewhere and there figures up the amount of cash on hand. Then he starts for the post office.
 "When he gets there he buys a money order, payable to himself, for an amount equal to the great CT part of the sum he has on hand. This done, he mails the order to himself, and then, certain of sav- ing that much of his money, at least, through the evening, he starts out to resume the joyous oc- cupation of enjoying himself. It is a great scheme, and one never heard of anyone else using. It works very we'll, indeed, with him. I have seen men give a part of their money to bartender to take care of for them, but this scheme of buying money order for your self beats that. And you can get a money order at the Providence post office any hour of the night, now."

THE ITALIAN IMMIGRANT.
Gets an Immense Amount of Pleasure from Unexpected Sources-A
 Clothes Reel Comedy.

The Italian immigrant has a happy gift of extracting pleasure from unexpected sources, so many commonplace objects of his new home are yet wonders to him. A woman who lives in a pretty SUI burban residence, the long garden of which runs back to a small court upon which a row of tene- ment houses has just been erect ed, discovered this recently when she found a group of dark-eyed, dirty little boys dancing ecstat- ically on the platform of her clothes dryer.
 They were cheering on a daring comrade, who was clinging to the outer cross-bar of the reel, relates the Youths Companion. One of his mates had set it spinning, and the other boy was dizzi1y gyrat- ing aloft, mingling his excited squeals of joy with the creaks and groans of the overburdened ma- chine. Even as she looked there was an ominous snap, and the fly ing cherub came suddenly to earth at her feet, where he sat softly rubbing himself and staring up at her, too dazed to cry. For the sake of their own youthful bones she thought it case for severity, and began to scold the intruders as sternly as she knew how, conclud- ing rather helplessly with an i'm patient, "Whatever made you do such a silly thing, anyhow? An swer me, can't you?"
 "Bullafuna, signorinaw whim- pered the fallen one. And it was not until the remark was trans lated by an Irish youngster, who was peeping through the fence, that she learned what the Italian lad meant.
 Sure, he says it's bully fun," the Irish boy interpreted. Arguments and remonstrances quite failed to overcome the dan- gerous fascination of such de- lightful gymnastic apparatus. The woman had finally to take it down and resort to the ancient and in- convenient clothes-line instead.
 A far funnier case of perverted entertainment occurred lately ill a Connecticut town in which the drawbridge tender complained to the police that the Italian resi- dents had fallen into the habit of riding on the draw as if it were a merry go round.
 Sometimes there's as many as 800 of them," he complained; "so many that the draw won't work properly, and it most kills me try ing to turn the crank. When Il holler at them to get off, they just holler back, and don't budge. They aren't ugly, but they won't mind. They all come mothers and babies, fellows and girls, and sometimes they bring a hurdy- gurdy and dance while the bridge swings round. It's fun for them, but it's death to me. It's got to be stopped or I'll resign. The city didn't hire me to run whirli- gig side show to circus"

McKinley'S wish.

To Mr.. Perry Heath is attributed
this statement: President Mckinley
expected Marcus Hanna to succeed him
as President of the Omitted States and
so expressed himself just before he was
killed. Mr.. would accept the nomina-
tion at the hands of the Republican
party" 1t is undoubtedly true that
President Mckinley desired to see his
bosom friend and stalwart Republican
leader succeed him in the chief magis-
trates office, and it is easily believed
that Mr.. Hanna would socept the pres
idential nomination by his party if it
would come to him in way that would
indicate the hearty wish of his party,
but 1t is not likely that the field now
practically pre-empted by Mr.. Roose-
welt would, under any pressure, be
abandoned by the President or such
abandonment be seriously considered
by the party leaders. President Roose-
welt is bent upon a vindication of his
administration by his party, and the
party managers are averse to risking
the embarrassment and inducements
which would result from a RELOCATION
of Mr.. Roosevelt to the rear, at time
when it would be regarded as comics.

AN EDITORS LUCK.

We have often wondered whether an
editor is controlled by the starlight Of
fate or the moonshine of luck, and the
more we think about the subject the
farther we get from conclusion. We
do know, however, that only the editor
who has, can loose, therefore we're 8
loser. Fate, or luck, has been agin'
us during 1908 and seemed determined
to nut Builtless out Of the farms-that-
pay class. Early in theispring we lost
forty-four young mammoth bronze
turkeys, three old ones, sixty barred
rock chickens, twelve Pekin ducks and
thirty pearl guineas with Timber neck.
Last month Dandy" our family
horse, and the only one on record that
could Jump through window six feet
high and smaller than his chest meas
urement, broke his neck at the stable
door while playing with our pet mule.
So far we were getting it in the neck,
but early in the new year the signs
changed Last week two thorough
bred sows farrowed and eight So pigs
froze to death, and still we farmed.
Early Monday morning our choice COW
tried to bull the market by finding two
bull calves. Being too dark in the
stable to find them she stepped ont in
the moonshine and the little fellows
became so chilled they could not be re-
vived. This is a country editors luck.
Nothing could be worse, except for q
city editor to lose his corkscrew for a
few hours.
We still believe that theoretical farm.
ing pays, but practical farming, like
marriage, is frequently a failure.

derbilt in his wild rush to financial

There is some intimation that ex-
Gov. MoMillin's friends are going to
make an effort to break the force Of the
nomination of a Bate man for the SEN
ate from the Twentieth district made
by the Democrats of Lewis county.
BY agreement between Maury, Perry
and Lewis, composing the district, the
senatorial nomination rotates, it being
the turn of Lewis this time to select
the man. The Hon. II. b. Shubert
made the fight openly as Bate man
and won. Even il Mr.. McMillin could
contest the other two counties, which
he cannot, it would be an act of bad
faith to disturb the agreement between
the three counties. The claim that
Mr.. McMillin could carry Maury coun-
ty is bosh. Maury is the old home of
Senator Oarmack, and that ought to
settle ii for the "old soleier." Mr..
McMillin cannot break down the fact
that Senator Bate is winning in walk.

Several of Johnson City's corpora
tons have been cited to appear before
the trustee on Feb. II next, and show
cause why their assessment should not
be raised under the law providing for
back assessing taxpayers whose prop
erty has not been adequately assessed.
There has been no attempt at secrecy
in this matter as to who is responsible
for the proceeding and it may be men,
toned in passing that the assessment
has not yet been raised. There is
many a slip 'twixt citation and con-
yiction. The COMET can assure the cor
porations involved that there is no
danger of being treated unreasonably
or unlawfully.
This action was instituted by the
State Revenue Agent, through John
l. Cox, of Bristol, and Trustee Jackson
is not attempting to keep the matter Q
secret. Under the law it is the duty
af the revenue agent to institute such
suits for cause. A citizen could do so,
but no one has in any city in the State.

party can appeal to the State Board o.
