It Is certainly a hard proposition to
be accosted in an isolated spot, at IL

year-old lad, knocked down, dragged
over several palmetto roots and finally
made to Cough up" every cent sou

this thing has happened, and Hon.
Chas. Hodge o. Alachua, during the
last campaign q candidate from Ala

who made a most remarkable record
by his wonderful campaign speeches,
was the victim.
Another disgraceiul and humiliating
feature OF this outrage was the fact
that the boy was a negro, and had
never received q formal Introduction

have refused one had that formAlity

Mean, Meaner, Meanest.

There were four of them in the smok-

traveller from Chicago happened to say:
"That reminds me of man out in my
town who is so mean that he makes the
members of his house write small hands,
in order to save ink"
"A friend o my fathers, sub, wuz even
wuz than thet," came promptly from the
Baltimorean. "He stopped the clocks at
night, sub, because O the wear and tear
on the works."
Then came the Philadelphia: "Well
there's good old Quaker out in Wayne
who won't read the papers. Wears out
his glasses, says he."
All three looked inquiringly at the man
from New York, bnt he merely smiled
and rang for the waiter to take the

should be the injunction to good Meth
odists, especially superintendent Of Sum
day schools, as deduction from the ex-
perience of B. 8. Mickey, of Des Moines,
Ia, brother of the governor Of Nebraska.
1t seems that Brother Mickey was riding,
along the streets of Des Moines upon his
good nag, and became absorbed in dog
fight, which he watched with interest as
he rode by and turned to lock upon as
he rode away. While thus engaged as to.
his attention, an electric wire, stretching
across the street, engaged him as to his
neck and he was thrown violently to the
ground and seriously injured. BE suedI
the city for $1,000 damages. The inter-
est he had taken in the dog fight was.
brought into the evidence as well as his
distinction of being devout Methodiss
and the superintendent Of the SUNDAY
school, and the court instructed thef Jury
that Mickey was guilty of contributory
negligence in looking back at the dog;
fight and so could not recover damages.

Black has passed away.
On the night of Thursday, the 18th in.

moned, and ministered such aid as was
advisable, relieving his suffering.

day and has since been treated by DR. E.
L. Patterson, and up to Wednesday was
thought to be doing we'll. On Thursday
night he was suddenly taken worse, and

Ham and Egg.

There is an amusing story relative to.
some strange names among the officials
of the Canadian Pacific Railroad. The
Pilgrim says:
Mr.. Ham is the roads advertising man
ager, with headquarters at Montreal, and
the city ticket Office there is in charge Of
Mr.. Egg.
Because of their strange names. the
two men became fast friends and if they
chance to be out of town, as they some
times do, the question, aHave you seen
Ham and Egga" is heard around both
their Offices. By more peculiar coinci-
dence, they both report to Mr.. Bacon,
whose chief clerk is Brown. ~. 81
A few days ago Ham called on Egg at
the latter's Office. While talking the tel.
ephone rang, and the messenger boy an
swered the call.
He was asked if that was the Canadian
Pacific office. Before he answered as TO
that, he said, "Whom do You want, Ham.
or Egg?"
"Neither," was the reply,"I want the
Canadian Pacific ticket Office. don't
want any of your old ham or eggs. Cen
trail, get that cheap restaurant off this
wire" Both Ham and Egg are now look
ing for that man.
