UNExPECTED HosPITALTTY.-A cou-
pie Of years ago a governor OF one
of the southern states went to Palm
Beech, Fla, for a short holiday. He
registered at one of the magnificent
hotels and he was assigned to lux
urious suite Of rooms. He was COM
fortably installed when a friend came
in to call on him.
This is wonderful apartment
they have given you" said the WIS.,
itor.
why, yes" said the governor, I've
never enjoyed such luxury in my life.
Never saw such a place! They Just
showed me to these rooms, but I've
been wondering II they realized that
I was a poor man. What do you
suppose they will charge me?"
well, governor" answered the
other. "I happen to know about that.
The last man, a railroad president
from New York, paid SIS a day for
these very rooms"
Scissors to grind!" cried the un-
fortunate politician. "Pve only got
$50. I'll have to leave at once. But
look here, Jim I don't want to con-
fess that can't pay for at least one
day, so you go down to the station
and telegraph me to come home at
once. 1 will meet you at the station
within an hour"
When the governor arrived at the
station he found the friend waiting
as he had arranged.
You got my telegram all right?
inquired the acquaintance.
Got it," said the governor in a
despairing voice. II should say so.
I believe / am the unluckiest man
alive. Why, when I went to ask for
my bill what do you suppose the
clerk said? He told me there was no
bill-said they would be honored If
stayed a year!"-R. w. Child, in
Lippincott's.

BAD For His BUs1NEss.-Mick
O'Flannigan Of Liverpool, is an Irish
gentleman who pursues the humble
but useful occupation of ragman,
though at one time he served her
majesty in foreign, parts as a soldier
of the line. Mick is a great orator
in his way, frequently addressing To-
cal meetings, at which he generally
draws upon his military experience
for appropriate illustrations.
On one occasion he was endeavor-
ing to prove that even a savage state
is better than the condition of Ire
land.
"Gintlemen," he exclaimed, II saw
little children out in Africa there.
They had no clothes, 1t Is true. They
were naked, but they were free!"
Bad place for a ragman, Mick!"
shouted a small boy in the rear, and
the orator collapsed amid the laugh
ter of the audience.-London Tele-

MAKING NAME For HIMsELF.-A
New York business man says that he
once had in his employ as office boy
a lad named Magillicuddy. Naturally
enough, this youngster received so
many joking references about his
name from his fellow employees that
he became extremely dissatisfied with
1t. So when he applied for place un-
der another employer in the building
he evidently decided to bestow a new
name upon himself. When the man
to whom he applied asked him his
name the boy replied:
Robert Recapitulation."
That's an odd name" said the
man after having the lad repeat II
several times.
The boy looked surprised. Haven't
you heard of General Capitulation?
asked he.

GASToN.

Gastonia Gazette, April s: A great
stir was created in the local chapter
of the United Sons of Rest yesterday
when a Gastonia magistrate who was
sent to investigate reported that he had
caught Mr.. P. ]. Lineberger in the field
ploughing near his home at 5 a. m.
Now Mr. =. j. Is a favorite among the
members of the organization and it is
not likely that he will be punished this
time: but If he transgresses any more
court martial proceedings will be In
evidence. .....A certain Gastonia gen.
tleman was the. other day subjected to
real joke in the way of an April
fool. The gentleman i'm question had
collected a claim from another Gastonia
party for the Hayner Bottling Co. of
Atlanta. The company upon receipt of
the amount Of the claim in full notified
him that he would be made a present
of a full quart of Hayner's Extra
7-year old rye, which had been shipped
by express prepaid. But the long look
ed for present has not arrived, and af-
ter meeting all trains from Atlanta for
several days to catch the first glimpse
of package bearing his name, finally
decided that he had been April fooled
in the saddest sort of fashion. .......
There are numbers of our read
ers who will learn with genuine
grief that Mr.. Ed S. Prather is dead.
After an illness of only ten days with
pneumonia he died Wednesday MORN
| ing at 8 o'clock, at his home at Clay
Hill. Mr.. f. N. Lineberger. brother
of Mrs. Prather, attended the funeral,
which was held at Allison Creek the
services being conducted by Rev. Mr..
| Hafner of Bowling Green. Mr.. Pra-
ther was thirty-four years of age. He
had only recently moved into the Clay
Hill community. Pleased with his
neighbors. very happy in his home, he
apparently had many years of useful
life before him when he was suddenly
taken away. Besides a widow. he
leaves two sons, George and Howard,
aged twelve and eight, and daughter
Minnie aged ten. With the stricken
ones. all who know them feel deep
and sorrowful sympathy. Papers
were passed Wednesday concluding the
sale by Mr.. w. w. Mclean of his old
home place in South Point to Stowe
Brothers of Belmont. This is the l4O-
acre tract on which Mr.. Mclean lived
before he moved to GastOnia. 1t Is six
miles south of Belmont and much or II
is heavily timbered. .....A most dis
tressing accident occurred at Lowell
Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock when
LuciuS, the five ycar-old son OF Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Ford, who was playing
in the barn loft with several other chill
dren, fell on an up-turned pitchfork.
One prong of the fork pierced the right
eye and entered the brain causing al
most instant death. The boys play
mates gave the alarm. but before any
one had arrived on the scene, the boy
had freed himslf from the fork, but
died i'm a few seconds afterwards.
