GREAT OCTOBER FOX HUNT.
Virginia North Caroline Association
to Have Fine Sport.
ESPECIAL to News and Ohserrerl

Especial to News and Observer
Chase City, Va, Sept. 30.-The en-
thusiasm about the great Mecklcn-
burg Virginia Carolina Fox Hunt AS
sociation's meet October 23rd to 2Sth
next, continues to increase, and if all
the people who say they are coming
get here, it will be a record breaking
hunt indeed. The capacity OF the
stables here has been doubled already
to prepare for the, event. Picked
pedigree hounds have been added to
the kennels, and there has been for
ten days the fullest exercise given the
hounds to have them in thorough
training against the day OF the great
chase, and super added is the fact
that there will be plenty of foxes, it
being the policy of the present hunt
ers not to chase in certain selected
sections reserved for the sport of
guests in October chases.
Membership to the organization
should be prearranged to secure all
the advantages of the occasion. The
secretary, II. r. Hartman, and officers
are now busy preparing for the event,
and are hearing every day from those
interested in what will dOubtlessly be
one OF the most renowned chases in
the history of sports of the country.
Indeed, the fOX-chaSe fever is
spreading till the people talk wild
about it. Every day there will be a
wild fox turned loose and chased for
the benefit Of the ladies, and in which
sport they may also participate, in
the beautiful country around the
hotel. While Colonel Hughes is presi-
dent OF the association, he will have
hard time in selecting the ladies' day
leader, since so many want to be mas

No doubt but what all those clubs.
who have all the riding, Snow and
dress and colOred paraphanalia for
the hunt will be here to brighten and

CT, and the rough and ready, but
genuine sport-loving and accustomed
plain farmers. The fires have been
kindlcd and they will exercise the full
blaze OF October 23rd to 2Sth.
An enjoyable calling for a young
man is the visit of a rich uncle.

THE HELLO! PEOPLE.
BY II. L. GRAY.

Did YOU ever call to see man on
business and, Just at the point, nave
him jump up and run to the tele-
phone?
Did you then, while your haste fret
ted within you, hold on to yourself
with both hands while something went
on i'm front of you according to this
order?
"Hdio. Yes. No! All right; l
think so. What's that" Yes. In a
few minutes. You did? Well, all right,
Cood-b-c!
This conversation has consumed
something like five minutes and your
time Is valuable. As you contemplate
tho !nanitv OF at least this end of the
wire. it seems more valuable than ever
You lean back in your chair and wait
Finally, the car piece is hung up and
YOU turn again to business only to find
that your vis-a-vis is revolving in his
mind what he had caught over the
wire and has completely lost the
thread of what you had been saying.
However, you pull yourself together
and make fresh start. Just as you
have around a passing CLEAN of in
terest and have become convinced that
you are beginning to make yourself
understood-"B rrh! Brhhr. Buz-zz-
zzz!' goes the bell at the desk and
broad back of your man and listening
to his disjointed remarks into the
mouth niece.
This time there is a genial note to
his voice which is like adding insult
to INJURY:
We'll WE'LL" he says, when did you
blow in-eh? Nay, nay, Pauline, the
statute has rum! Ha! Ha! Ha. I

Again a hearty laugh. We'll. so long
old man; tell Ed. to sit tight and not
spring a leak. Give my love to the
boys. Goodbye. Stay longer next
timc."
Your man turns to you again, his
eyes twinkling with the joke that he
has taken off the wire and you see that
he has come back to the track with
pain.
When you have proceeded for the
third time. however, you arc prepar-
ed for the ring and you smile a pity
ing grin when your genial friend dis
plays his household felicity with a
trankuess that you feel is almost i'm
modest:
''Heigho. dearie," he is saying; Can
| hear him? Let's see? Try him
again? Do YOU know .Da. Da? 1
bel eve he docs, Cluck, ciuck, cluck.
Ha. ha, ba! He's peach, isn't he?
What's he make of it. Oh? Laugh
ing? The little devil, Just as soon
as | can-I'm mighty busy today All
right. chickadee! I'll remember. Good
byes dear."
Now as | was saying" you start
again, but you get no further for the

plain

great things. Now, at the telephone

His masters voice? % you suggest
sweetly.
For a moment worried look of
suspicion floats across the fat coun-
tenance before you, but only to be
swallowed instantly in an impenetra-
bic egotism. He laughs disjointedly
as one who knows you mean we'll, but
can't express yourself:
"Ha, hal" he says dryly. Yes, yes
exactly! Now as | was saying about
that I'D"
But, if you are still a man. you are
firm. You sigh because almost lnva-
riably he is a prosperous citizen and
it would be suicidal to tell him what
you think. Nevertheless you back
away:
Perhaps, I'd better put that in
writing, anyway" you say, as you close
the door and reach for your pocket
handkerchief
A prominent North Carolinian who
occupies an official position but who
is independently situated, recently
went through some such sort of eX-
perience as has been above described.
Slowly his patience wore out and, as
the man whom he had gone to see on
business, turned fo. the fifth or sixth

and departed.

However, the question 49, what is
the proper thing to do in tie face of
consideration for visitor on the one
hand and regard for those who are US
ing the telephone on the other, Is q
perplexing one. As a matter If logic,
it would seem that tho visitor if he

lack of thought. When the time mat
ter is explained to them, in fact the
"Ohs!" with which they receive the
explanation are rather resentful than
otherwise.
Another shing about the newspaper
telephone is the curious fact that, al
though the office is bureau of infor-
nation, tho man who answer the
phones are generally esteemed to be
entirely without Intelligence, even as
to the date on which the paper will
appear. For instance, lady calls up
to say that the Woman's Auxiliary
will meet the next day at half after
four o'clock Notwithstanding the
fact that il is then eight at night she
will keep a busy man bowling at the
instrument while she discourses some
thing in this wise: please saw that
the Woman's Auxiliary of the Society

will meet this afternoon at half past
four o'clock-I say this afternoon you

You assure the lady that the truth
of her observation has glimmered into
