STAUNTON SPECTATOR HAS SAY
Story Of How "Thc Little Man With
the sorrowful Face" Landed Job
Because His Father Was Great
and Noble Man.

Captain j. e. Is. Stuart and his nc.
lions since he became collector of cur.
toms for this port continue to attract
widespread interest Various ncwspa-
perS have commented upon the cOllGc-
tor In anything by favorable terms,
but the most cauStiC criticism which
: has appeared is an editorial in n recent
Issue OF the StauniOn Spectator
which already has been extensively
copied
The editorial is given below:
One of the brightest political lumi-
naries in the political heavens of Vir-
GINA. in his own estimation, just now
IL young Mr.. j. t. B. Stuart-thc son
of his father Mr.. Stuart some time
ago WAS out of Il job. He was growing
hungry after the manner Of the prod-
gal son, llo fam would cat the husks.
A happy thought came to him.
Thoughts do not como to Mr.. Stuart
in drovcs. but one nestled in his bruin,
lie Dlrscd 1t, he fontllcd 1t, for 1t was n
stranger In a strange land. This little
thought grew apacc and hroadcned
into an i,lcn the idea was this, i will
vote for Mckinley So he voted that
way. But MIR. Mckinley knew not of
what he had done. After awhile It
was brought to Mr. McKinlcys attcn-
ton. But Mr.. Mckinley was just
man. He said to himself This scion
has not voted for me because he loved
me better, but because he loved some
one else. or for some selfish runson.
Thus did the scion stand where he
was, his hunger growing upucr. Again
he voted for Mr.. Kinlcy in the hope
that that just man might feel grateful
and grow charitable, but u great ucci
dent bcfell Mr.. Mckinley. and he hnd
no chance to show his appreciation OF
the scion's action ir he felt grateful
therefor. Thus did the scion stand b,
the waysidc begging. At last he who
was exalted because of the death OF
MT. Mckinley DChcld that SOrrOwfu
lace among the many SOrrowfu fnccs
Wnlch looked upon him nS he passed
