A TIL Taper.

During luncheon the subject Of wild

many original ideas were expressed.
One Of the company said:
"Some widows are to be pitied; 9th

ther used to describe widow Of the
latter sort. She lived in Maryland and
kept little village store. Her husband
was a worthless fellow. He never

persons made calls Of sympathy ana

did not call, but one day, stopping at

thought it was no more than right to

Man who Did Too Wen.

''My friend had fine place offered
him with an organ factory, and he ac-
cepted it, the salary being up in the
four figures. He went out and to his
first customer sold the entire output Of
the plant The customer agreed to take
all that the factory could make. Hav-
ing nothing more to sell, my friend re-
turned to the house well pleased with
his success and for several days sat
around smoking good cigars, while the
firm patted him on the back. One day
he came in, and the boss called him
over, saying in this fashion:
"T will have to give you the usual
thirty days notice. You have done so
well that we have no further use for
you or any travelling man. We are sor-
ry to lose you, but you sold too much at

A Rejected Buqaboo.

Thomas Dixon. Jr., d southerner who
corning negro domination" has writ
ten several inflammatory novels which
have attracted more or less attention.
One of the latest of these. THE Clans
man." has been dramatized, and the
author fondly expected that by display
ing his cherished DOGGY upon the stage
he would make a great sensation and
make the multitude view the negro
problem as he sees it. But the South,
it seems. is blessed with a sense OF
humor, and although it encourages
white politicians to shrek on the stump
concerning the dangers of negro doii'i-
nation" it could only laugh ana Mss
when it viewed Dixon's play.
The author is a native of South Caro-
lima. and so he kindly arranged 10 nave
his great production staged frst az
Columbia Of that state. The news
,.nors agree that the play, while inter-
cSting to those VINO thiiEc upon ie'oi'-
ing horrors and passions, is an absolute
failure both in historical and an edu-
catioual sense. 1t is absolutely over
drawn and exaggerated, as was the
novel upon which it was based. and SO
the audience showed their good sense
by kissing the play and then by kissing
the author when he appeared before the
curtain in an attempt TO defend it.
Except upon election days and when
manufacturing stuff exclusively for
northern consumption. the people of
the South are too sensible to keep
straight faces when regarding the
negro domination bugaboo. 1t is a
credit to their section that they have
rejected The Clansman."

being very careful in doing so for lear
the animal might get away, he, rifle III
hand started out, making up his mind
that the first deer upon which his eyes
gazed would no longer have the privi-
lege of wandering through the tall tim
hers of Aroostook county. After
travelling through the woods for an
hour or more he was pleased to see the
bushes move a short distance away.
He was determined to make sure that
it was not man and upon getting at
closer range he perceived the ears of
an animal. This was enough for him
and without further investigation he
pulled the trigger with the result that
he was obliged to haul the vehicle back
to the home of the friend from whom
he had procured it, as he, through his
earnest endeavors to shoot a deer, had
not shot the lOnged-for game but had
killed the horse which had carried him
to the desired hunting grounds.
