CHANGE NECESSARY.

Du Pont says that the situation has
zone from bad to worse, and 1t was
considered that change of manage
ment was imperative, so 1t was ar
ranged to transfer part of the Du Pont
stock TO r. \ Penniman of the Califor-
mia powder Company. in order that
he might inspect the books and set on
the board of directors. 1t is declared
that $3.50, 900 of the Du Pont money has
been used up in three years, the inter
est on which would amount to $4,000,
and there has been no return in the
way of profits.
Other aftidavits, chiefly those of 2.
ID Madison and r. s. Penniman, went
into the question of good faith in de-
manding the transfer or STOCK ana IN
snaction of the books and of the regu-
laritv of the litigation. Attorney j. }.
Barrett argued the Du Pont side and
Judge Allen spoke for the chemical
company.

CITY Must Pay Debts.

Judge Hebbard yesterday declared
from the bench that he could never
understand why individuals should be
required to pay their debts and the
city and county evade them. There
fore he decided that the city and
county should pay $4,000 to twenty
one men who were employed as extras
in Tax Collector Smiths office during
the month of May. The suit was
brought by James A. Code, who, with
eighteen others, was employed as an
extra clerk in the Office at a salary of
500 a month, and at the same time
an acting cashier and acting searcher
were employed at $3.50. The city ad-
mitted that the men had been regu-
larly employed, but pleaded that the
$4,000 appropriated for extra help
in the tax office had been previously
expended.

Old Hickory.

Many explanations have been given
as to the sobriquet "Old Hickory" as
applied to Andrew Jackson. There is
an older explanation than that sug-
gested by James Parton in his life Of
Jackson-that the title was evolved
from progressive adjectives, starting
with tough" as applied to his endur-
ance as walker In the early days of
Tennessee's statehood Jackson, then a
major general Of volunteers, raised a
body of troops to put down a formula
BILE rising Of the Creek Indians. Dur
ing the campaign there was much suf-
fering from lack of food, and it is re-
lated that Jackson received his popu-
lar sobriQuet Of "Old Hickory" from
his subsisting on hickory nuts, with
the purpose Of inspiring his men with
renewed fortitude by his example, the
title also being a fitting one for the
tough" peculiarities of his tempera-
ment

In his young days. when the late
John Coleman was an architects as

ward the drama, he obtained through
a chance business connection an intro

the interview little incident took place
which throws a striking light upon
the public favorite's precarious posi-

wife from her carriage and was enter

"And so, hereafter" she went on,

You don't mean he began in ex-
postulation.
II do mean just that" said she.
This is about the last straw. l don't
intend to be subjected to such heed
less annoyance again"
You won't go anywhere with me-"
he asked.
II shall make no appointments to go

your treacherous memory allows me to

now what l have inflicted upon you.
I'll stay away as much as possible I'M

bother you any longer now. You said
you were going over to the links, be-
lieve I'm really more sorry about all

Goodby."
He ran down the steps, and mo-
ment later the cobs whirled down the
driveway in a cloud of dust.
Beatrice sat on the veranda lost in
thought. She knew she had hurt him
deeply. But he deserved it, she told
herself grimly. Still, she was rather
sorry she had been so disagreeable
about it. He was so big and good ma
tured and so absurdly helpless.
She was aroused by the clatter OF
hoofs on the driveway. The cobs Were
again pulled up before her, and Will
liam ran up the steps.
"See here, Beatrice" he said hurried
", II came here this afternoon with q
Arm determination to tell you some
thing important, but in the confusion
of being late and all that, you know
"You forgot it Of course" she laugh
ed.
AT the sound or her laughter WllllaH
was evidently relieved.
Exactly" he said. II meant to tell
you that the deal in Lakeside real es-
| tate has been closed and that I've made
tidy bit out of it. l meant to ask
you-hang 1t! 1t sounds cold blooded
but 1 don't mean it soft you'd marry
me-"
The girl gasped. She looked at him
steadily for several moments.
"Oh, William, William. you incorrigi
BILE man. she said.
"Will your" said he eagerly. Marry
me, you known
She laughed nervously.
You'd forget" she declared, land
marry some one else within a month. y
81 know I've no right to ask you" he
said humbly.
Beatrice was absorbed in a bit OF
Ivy she was assiduously picking into
| bits.
"Still," she said, you do need q
guardian. SO perhaps I'll risk it."
