Nevertheless, the pair were devoted
to each other, and when the husband

consolable.
Shortly after the funeral friend

was one day explaining an intricate
machine to a newspaper writer, says
an exchange.
do you understands" Mr.. Edison
would ask. And moment later, NOW
do you understand"
The poor journalist tried to folio"
the swift sentences Of the inventor
but the effort was vain. Every little
while he would have to stop and say
that, just there, he did not quite un-
derstand, and then, signing. Mr.. Edi'
son would begin all over again.
"I know I am very green as regards
machinery" the journalist said, apoi-
ogetically.
"Oh, no; 1 have seen greener," said
Mr.. Edison. Did ! never tell YOU
about the fireman / once met in Can
ada?
well, In a certain Canadian town
where 1 was running telegraph Of
fee In my youth a new factory, with
a very fine engine house, was put up
/ visited this factory one day to see
the engine. The engineer was out and
the fireman, new hand. showed me
about. AS we stood admiring the en-
gine together, said:
what horse power has this en-
gine?
"The fireman gave a loud laugh.
Horse power" he exclaimed. Why
man, don't you know that the machine
goes by steamT"

William P. White was trafflc manager
Of the Santa Fe railroad he received
a letter from a Kansas politician re-
turning an annual pass Of the yeal
before, relates the Boston Post. Fol
some reason another pass had no,
been sent to the politician, who sent
the following verse with the expired
pass:
ALIAS, it Is said no more I'll deadheao
My way DER the glistening rail,
Unless Mr.. White will consider 1t right
To send me a pass by the mail"
This communication pleased White
He took the expired pass and made al
Endorsement across the face in rec
Ink, and then added his signature,
complicated series Of scratches IA
miliar to every Santa Fe conductor
This was the inscription:
"The conductor will pass the bundle
Of gas
From March till the middle Of Lent
Like any deadhead without a red,
Let him ride to his hearts content"

and was accepted unquestionably by
the conductors.

BY ELIMINATIoN.-Jokes about twins
are more numerous than twins them
selves. For all that, there need be no
hesitation in repeating joke which
passes current in at least one section
Of the country.
There used to live over on Painters
farm" said the humorist who told the
story, "a couple O. twins named Dan
and Abe. They moved away since. AT
the time / remember 'em they were
grown men, but they were as near like
as them two jugs. The only differ
ence was that Dan had good, sound
teeth and Abe he'd lost most o his out
O. the front part of his face.
THE only way to know which was
which was to stick your finger in Abes
mouth. If he bit ye it was Dan"

WHIP IT OUT OF HM.-In the
schools OF a Connecticut town, says
the Baltimore Herald, measures were
recently taken to test the children's
eyesight. AS the doctor finished each
school he gave the principal list OF
the pupils whose eyes needed atten-
ton, and requested him to notify the
children's parents to that effect.
One night soon after the opening OF
the fall term, a little boy came home
and gave his father the following note
duly signed by the principal:
Mr.. -: Dear Sir-It becomes
my duty to inform you that your son
shows decided indications Of astigma-
tism, and his case is one that should
be attended to without delay
The next day the father sent the
following answer:
Dear Sir: Whip 1t out Of him
Yours truly, -

RIGHTS OF A REPORTER.
How They Were Established Years
Aoo in Columbia.

Auo in Columbia.
There has been considerable COM
ment recently in this city. says Ihe
Columbia Record, as to the right OF
reporter for a daily paper to attend
some of the committee and commits
sion meetings Of the city Of Column
bia. and by some the stand has been
taken that a reporter has not even
the right to attend meetings or this
kind unless 1t Is simply in the capac-
itv of a citizen Mayor T. H. Gibbes
has taken a great deal Of interest IN
the matter, as his father, DR.. r. w.
Gibbes, was once the owner OF Ihe
Carolinian, a paper published here
before the war, and there Is now IN
the Gibbes family a silver vase
which is a memento Of a reporters
fight to report a public gathering.
According to the story there was
council meeting. which was IN a
way public, and DR.. Gibbes attended.
Before the meeting commenced Hon.
E. ]. Arthur, then mayor, approach
ed DR.. Gibbes and asked him II he
was present as a newspaper man or
as citizen. DR.. Gibbes refused to
say, and the mayor had the news
paper man removed from the meet
ing.
A suit was brought and a verdict
for about $3.50 was returned for DR..
Gibbes. The verdict was the result
Of Judge Withers charge, and DR..
Gibbes, with the money, purchased a
vase and had engraved on it the fol-
lowing extracts:
"The freedom Of the press Is
guaranteed by the constitution OF the
United States"
ITO eject a reporter from pub
lie meeting because it is suspected
or avowed by him that he means to
publish a report Of the proceedings
is unlawful"
At the top Of these inscriptions is
the following.
"The triumph of right and princi-
ple."
The vase Is highly priced and 1t
Is said that the charge by the judge
on that occasion has been used many
times since In similar cases In other
states,

CHOSE SEVEN YEARs.-While hold
ing supreme court at Augusta, Maine,
Judge Walton sentenced a man to
seven years in prison for a grave
crime, says the Philadelphia Ledger
The prisoners counsel asked for
mitigation of the sentence on the
ground that the prisoners health was
very poor.
Your Honor" said he, II am satis-
fed that my client cannot live out
half that term, and l beg Of you to
change the sentence"
well. under these circumstances,
said the Judge, II will change the SEN
tence. I will make 1t for life instead
Of seven years"

 MT. and Mrs. Mark Murphy, in their true Irish comedy, Why Doogan Swore Off, give a genuine article of Irish comedy. Mrs. Murphy's song, 1.-The Seventeenth of March," scored a tre- mendous hit and brought down the house.
 The Village Choir, late of the Way Down East company. is pleasing singing speciality, and they sing those favorite selections which have made them famous throughout the country.
 will H. Murphy and Blanche Nichols speciality, 'The Bifurated Girl" is the novelty of the bill. This young lady cuts herself in two in order to be able to play two parts. The novelty of the act is in the cutting process and the fact that one part walks off the stage unassisted.

One of the most popular attractions of the present day is that beautiful and interesting drama entitled "The Village Parson." The piece has scored an inn mense hit wherever produced, and it's success has been achieved long ago. There is an attractive ring in the title, which calls the attention of all classes of amusement-goers to the theater. The play deals with the affection of the heart and is one wherein human emotions and pathos are strongly de- picted. A very strong company has been engaged, each with reference to the part assigned, and it is confidently believed that this pretty play is rem dered in much better style than is usu- al with travelling companies. Hand- some special scenery has been painted expressly for this production by we'll known artists, and unique effects also assist in the finished performance.
 The Village Parson" opens at the Grand Opera house tomorrow for three nights and the regular Saturday matinee.
