LOUISIANA HOSPITALITY.
strangers Were Treated Just the
Game as Members of the
Family.

A group of drummers were trading yarns
on the subject of hospitality, relates Llpp-
i%ncott's Magazine, when one, a little Vlr,,
ginian, with a humorous eye and a delightful
drawl, took up his parable thus:
Il was down in Louisiana last month trav-
elm cross country with s. j. Cary tine
same being Stonewall Jackson g., at your
s~ervice), when we kinder got lost IN a mighty
lonesome sort O. road just about dark: we
rode along a right good piece after sundown,
and when we saw a light ahead l tell you
it looked first rate. We drove up to the
light. indin' twas a house, and when l
hollered like a lost calf the man came out
| and we asked him to take lis in for the night.
| He looked at us mighty hard, and then sald:
Wal, | reckon | kin stand it if you kin. 80
we unhitched, went in and found twas only
4 two-room shanty and just swarmln win
children. He had six, four to ii years OLD,
and as there didn't seem to be but one Deo,
me an Stoney was wonderin what IN thun-

"They gave us supper, good hog and nom

woman put the two youngest kids to BED
They went straight to sleep. Then she TOOK
those out, laid them over in the corner, put
the next two to bed-and so on. After all
| the children were asleep on the floor the
old folks went in the other room and tolo
us we could 90 to bed if we wanted to, and,
bein' powerful tired out, we did.
"Well, sir, the next morning when we
woke up we were lying over in the corner
with the kids. and the old man and the old
woman had the bed"

VERY EFFECTIVE SAMPLE.
Minister'S Pickles Were Strongly
Suggestive of the Ever

A clergyman was very fond of a par
ticular hot brand of pickles, and find
ing great difficulty in procuring. the same
sort at hotels when travelling, always car
ried a bottle with him, relates the Tatler.
One day when dining at a restaurant with
his pickles in front of him a stranger sat
down at the same table, and, with an Amer
lean accent, presently asked the minister to
pass the pickles. The minister. who en-
ioyed the joke, politely passed the bottle:

SHE WAS NOT A TRAVELLER
Only Wanted the Railway Literature

She tripped into a Broadway ticket
agency SO softly that the young man
behind the counter was % al of
her presence. When he finally glanced
up she was helping herself to the illus
trated booklets and folders issued by
the various railroad and steamship
lines, relates the New York Globe.

after she had selected n of each va

The young man concluded that she
was about to make a tom of the world,

his attention. A white man, revolver

ATE POISONED BREAD
DEATH OF FIvE-YEAR-oLn ROY
MAHoNEY.
Little One Found and Consumed Food
That. Was Doctored to
Catch Rats.

Eating piece of bread upon which rat
poison had been placed caused the death
of Roy Mahoney, five years old. last night.
He died at the home of his parents, Mr..
and Mrs William " Mahoney. 439 Jeffer-
son street, Anacostia. The peculiarly sad
circumstances attending the death Of the
child Frustrated his parents, who have the
sympathy of host of friends
Rats had annoyed the occupants of the
Mahoney residence and a piece of bread
was treated with the poison and put in a
closet where, 1t was thought, it would not
possibly do harm except to the rodents.
Unfortunately, however, the child climbed
in the closet to where the bread had been
left and ate it. 1t was about O'Clock
when he ate the bread, and about an hour
later he complained of having pains in his
stomach. Not much thought was given to
his complaint at first as 1t was believed
that his pains would yield to the simple
treatment his mother gave him. When his
distress was more apparent and his condition
became alarming his parents sent for their
family physician, DIR. ]. Stewart Harrison
of 213 Monroe street The physician soon
found symptoms of poison and detected
the odor of Phosphorus on the child s
breath. Then it was that his parents be-
came suspicious of the rat poison and found
that the bread that had been left as a bait
for the rats had been eaten by the child.
Antidotes were administered. but the little
sufferer grew steadily worse and died
shortly after II O'Clock.
The police were told of his death and they
informed the coroner. An investigation
of accidental death was given The funeral
will take place Monday. Mr.. Mahoney, the
boys father, conducts a paperhanging es-
adjustment at COS Pennsylvania avenue.
