He Turned the Laugh.

An orator who was equal to an
emergency was the late Geo. A. Sher-
idan, who was a noted "spell-binder"
often engaged by the Republican
national committee. At a big meeting
he was addressing in town near New
York he was introduced by a Mr..
O'Brien, the chairman, in most fiat
tering terms. In order to reciprocate
Mr.. Sheridan paid a glowing tribute
to the sterling qualities Of the chair
man and wound up the eulogy by as
serting that no man could say Mr..
O'Brien owed him a cent.
He owes me $3!" came keen Gel
tic voice from the rear Of the au-
dience.
It was almost a solar plexus blow
for the orator, and the audience start
ed to laugh and jeer. Rallying, the
speaker said: Don't be alarmed, good
friends. 1 will answer that man pres
entity" This assertion was to gain
time and II possible have the audience
forget the incident. But again that
penetrating voice cried out.
"He owes me SO cold CASH."
Advancing to the edge of the plat
form, General Sheridan in confiden-
tial tone said: Eyes, 1 know all about
the SO, for my friend, Mr.. O'Brien.
has given me the inside facts. Ladies
and gentlemen, the truth is simply
this, and 1t reveals a peculiar char
acter: This man who has interrupted
me met Mr.. O'Brien recently and
asked him for the loan Of $40.
haven't got ten,' said generous Mr..
O'Brien, but here are 81 handing
the money to him. Now this man Is
going around saying my friend, the
honorable chairman. owes him $S be-
cause he could lend him only 81 when
ten were requested" A roar Of laugh
ter filled the hall, and the indignant
man tried to answer the orator. He
was howled down. The chairman
whispered in General Sheridan's ear:
you have saved me. You are ge-
nius."-Leslie's Weekly.

WHAT DID SHE MEAN?-A philan-
thropic person. says Harper's Maga-
zine. heard of a negro family that was
reported in destitute circumstances
and, calling at their home. found the
report true.
The family consisted of a mother. a
son nearing manhoods estate and two
young children. The benevolent old
gentleman. after hearing the mothers
story. gave the oldest son 81 to get a
chicken for the Thanksgiving dinner
and took his departure.
No sooner was he gone than the ne
gress said to her son:
'SambO. you glib me dat dollah, and
go get dat chicken in de natchral
way"

FIT OF ARMY SHoEs.-In "Recollec'
tions Of a Drummer Boy" the author
Mr.. Xieffer tells many incidents con-
nected with the uniforms supplied by
Uncle Sam to the soldiers Of Camp
Curtin. After describing various diff
culties resulting from ill-titting gar
ments, he says:
There was a very small man who
had received a very large pair OF shoes
and had not been able to effect an ex-
change.
zone day the sergeant was drilling
the company on the facings-right face
left face, right about face-and, OF
course, watched his mems feet closely
to see that they went through the move
ments promptly. Noticing one pair OF
feet down the line that never budged
at the command, the sergeant rushed
I'D to the possessor of them and In
menacing tones demanded:
What do you mean by not facing
about when l tell you? I'll have you
put in the guardhouse.'
why, l did, sergeant said the
trembling recruit.
"'You did not, sir; Didn't / watch
your feet? They never moved an inch
why. you see, said the poor fell
low, my shoes are so big that they
don't turn when / do. l go through
the motions on the inside of them"

No CALL TO WATCH HIs.-An engin-
eer from Sunderland was spending a
few days in London with a friend, and
after a busy morning sightseeing the
Londoner chose a large restaurant for
luncheon. thinking it would be novel
experience for the man from the north.
The visitor appeared to enjoy his
luncheon, but kept looking in the di-
rection Of the door. What are you
watching?" asked his friend, rather
annoyed.
WELL" was the quiet reply. "A's
keep-in' an eye on ma topcoat."
"Oh. don't bother about that" said
the other; you don't see me watching
mine"
NO" observed the guileless engi-
neer: thee has no call to-it's ten
minutes sim thine went."-Tit- Bits.

Mrs. CRAIGIE's WTT.-The late Mrs.
Craigie, the noted novelist, was invited
to address a meeting while in New
York city last year. She accepted the
invitation, but her name. through some
oversight, was put far down on the
programme. and, worse than that, the
chairman, a rather stupid person. in
troduced before her some speakers who
were not on the programme at all. In
short. it was close on to IL o'clock when
the chairman, with a pleasant smile,
bowed and said: Mrs. Craigie, the
eminent author, will now give us her
address" Mrs. Craigie rose and said,
calmly: My address is No. Sc Lancas-
ter Gate, Hyde Park, W.. London, and
l now wish you all good might, for
am far from home"

WHERE SLANG WAS NEsDED.-It was
a language lesson. and the teacher In
one Of the city schools had considera-
BILE trouble in making the boys under
stand the use OF the word accept
ance." He tried several words, calling
upon his bright boys, but their expla-
nations always left feeling Of uncer-
tainty among other members Of the
class.
1t was quite clear relates the New
York Press, that this word does not
form a part of an ordinary boys vo-
cabulary. and to have II understood 1t
must be related to a word which does
belong there. Here was the psycholog-
ical moment to use slang.
Boys" said the teacher. what is
the general acceptance of twenty
three'?"
"Skidoo!" was the prompt answer by
the whole class. The meaning Of the
word became clear at once.

THINKS 1T A WISE LAW.
Approves the Recent Act Allowing a
Vote on Dispensaries.


Editor of The News: | see that
some of the counties are going to
hold prohibition elections under the
recent law passed by the legislature
putting the counties that operate dis
pensaries under local option.
This is wise and just law, as it was
so fixed by the trainers of the dispen-
sary act for this county that no cleo
ton could be called for the people to
vote on it. The object of all dispen-
saries ought to be to furnish the peo-
pie with pure WHISTLES at a reasonable
per cent, say enough to pay all ex-
penses, and not for revenue alone, as
is the main object of those operated
in this county. They only benefit the
large property owners, and the poor
class derives no benefit from the large
sales and enormous profits made. It
will not be denied that three-fourths of
the whiskeY bought and drunk is by
the poor people who receives no rev.
enue in return for money paid the
county by them, which is not right.
Equal rights to al and special priv
ileges to none" is democratic, which
was the issue in the late gubernato-
rial campaign and swept the state
like a mighty avalanche from center
to circumference. There still exists a
great deal of dissatisfaction among
people because of the way the dispen-
sary act was passed and put on them
without submitting it to the voters of
the county. Let a petition be gotten
up and submit the question for or
against dispensary" to the voters Of
the county at as early day as is
practicable. CITIZEN.

RECEIPTS ARE WAY BEHIND
Not Half as Large as at This Time
Last Year An Advance in price

Not Half as Large as at This Time
Last Year. An Advance in Price
Saturday was the first real busy
oay among the cotton people. A
strong cotton tide flowed in all day,
and the receipts Saturday we're more
than 700 bales. From Terrell and
surrounding counties came wagons
ladened with the staple, and there
were scenes of activity around the
warehouses as the bales were sampled
and sold.
The crop is fully month late, and
the receipts are less than half what
they were at this time last year. The
Dawson News of August Is, 1905, re-
ported that 5000 bales of new cotton
had been received to that date, and
good mlddling was quoted at 81 cents.
AT the time this paper went to press
yesterday the receipts for this year
were 2,527 bales, and good middling
was selling at 81 cents.
Cotton is opening rapidly now, and
from this time on will come to market
In a rush.
Report Sent Prices Upward
The government issued its report
Monday on the condition of the crop,
and stated it to be 77.3 as against 81. 8
IN August. The report had the effect
OF Immediately advancing the price of
Spot cotton an eighth of a cent.
