Gotta Kiss That Was Due to Bryan

Pete" Baker, the famous singing
comedian, who will be seen at the
Grand next Thursday night, in the sue
cessful comedy, "A Race For Widow, T"
is known as the William Jennings
Bryan comedian" Not for an imper-
sonation of the Democratic statesman,
but because he so closely resembles
him. 1t is not unusual for persons not
over familiar with Bryan to address
Baker as Mr.. Bryan, and he has be-
come used to being an innocent perpe-
TRAITOR of this deception. While travel
ing throgh the South and West, during
a recent vaudeville tour, he has had
mistaken identity. He has had many
the political defeats suffered by Bryan
and has had his political platform in
dorsed by great many old, ''dyed-in-
the-wool' silver Democrats, who little
guessed they were indorsing Gold and
Republican administration. One of
Bakers funniest experiences occurred
on the train while he was coming east
from Colorado. A very pretty little
Kansas girl who was travelling IN the
samecar with Baker, spotted him and
rushed up to the seat where he was sit
ting.
Il knew you the minute | saw you'll
she said, Il heard you in Topeka four
years ago, and l have been in love with
you ever since. ] am one of your
greatest admirers in the country and
my father and brother think you are
the greatest man the country ever pro-
duced."
Baker was ION" right away and did
not get swelled head over the praise.
Il am honored to meet you" he re-
turned, in his best Billy Bryan style,
"but you should not flatter me so.
Il mean every word of it., said the
miss, "and-a" then turning suddenly
towards Baker and blushing furiously,
said, MAY l kiss you
"De-light-e - replied Baker with
Teddy's favorite phrase, which did not
appear to strike the young lady as very
fitting. However, she threw her arms
around his neck and pressed a resound-
ing Kansas smack on his lips Then,
still blushing scarlet, she fed back to
her seat.
WHO was that inquired friend OF
Bakers who saw the act.
''Oh. just another of Billy Bryan S
friends said Baker, '4but ] think it is
al on Bryan this time.

Judge DundOn's Court.

In Judge Dundon's Court, Tuesday,
win Vandike, John Lynum and Will
Burl. three negroes Of the Centreville
neighbOrhoOd, were tried on warrants
charging them with attempting to
breakup negro camp meeting. Van
dixie had f1ourished a gun and was sent
to Jail for thirty days at hard labor.
John Lynum was given a fine of $40,
while the case against Burl was con-
tinued. The trials of the negroes re-
yealed the fact that Intoxicating
Cliauors were sold at the camp meeting,
as Vandike, after being convicted,
swore out warrant for George Sparks,
charging him with that offense.

Oil For Street Purposes Cheap.

The streets in some parts of the city
having become dusty again the resi-
dents on Main, between Tenth and
Twelfth streets, decided to have more
oil sprinkled at their own expense.
They purchased 600 gallons Of oil from
the Indian Refining Company, at
Georgetown.
Mayor O'Brien sent his oil sprinkler,
which holds that amount. to George
town for the oil. 1t returned Tuesday
night and in an hours time the streets
from Tenth to Twelfth, on Main, Tenth
street from Main to Pleasant, and
Eleventh street from Main to High
were covered with oil, for total of
SD 80.
This demonstrates that if the oil is
purchased in still larger quantities that
not only our streets, but our turnpikes
could be oiled at the small price.

great shock to the community, although
he had been confined to his room re-
Gently from a slight stroke of paralysis
| he was supposed to be much better, as
he attended the. fair on Friday and was
seen on the street Monday. He became
much worse in the afternoon and quiet
ly sank to rest at six O'Clock, the i'm
mediate cause of his death being ura-

times during his long business career

integrity and honor. 1t is the passing
away of one ofIour, best and most high
ly esteemed citizens. He was chart
table man. but being possessed of
quiet and dignified nature he never
paraded his many acts of:charity to the
needy and worthy before the eyes of
the world.
He was born in 1920. in what is
known as the old Massie homestead,
the house on Main street now occupied
by his only sister, Mrs. Eliza Ogden,

years of age.

manager of his fathers mill, then
known as the Massie mill, now known
as the Spears mill, and lived near the
mill. He afterwards came back to
Paris and entered the dry goods bust
ness, being a successful merchant until
1867, when he retired from active mer-
chantile business. Since then he has
been living a quiet life at his beautiful
home, ." Hidaway," on Vine Street. He
owns three Of the best know farms in
the county, New Forrest, the
Kinsea Stone place and the Ike San
dusky farm. In late years he took
great interest in raising fine stock. He
was considered one of Bourbon's veal
thieSt citizens.
He never united with any church but
confessed Christ and received the ordi-
nance of baptism at his home number
of years ago, from the hands of Rev.
James G. Morris, who was at that time
a Methodist minister of this city. In
recent years he had been regular at
tended at the Second Presbyterian
Church. In 1857 he was married to Miss
Anna Daugherty, of Millersburg. and

son, Mr.. w. C. Massie. He was a de-
voted husband and loving father. He
was an uncle of w. K Massie, of Lex
ington.

WHAT IS cATARRH?
Simple Way to Overcome the Dangers
 of This Disagreeable Disease.

Catarrh is an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nose, throat, and lungs, with many annoying symp- toms. In this climate there are few who do not suffer from this disagree able disease. often in a chronic and dangerous state.
 Fortunately within the last few years simple and reliable treatment for catarrhal troubles has been found. Hy- omei. a combination of healing and germ killing balsams, that, when breathed through the neat pocket in- hsler that comes with every outfit, reaches the tiniest cells in the respir- atory organs. carrying it's healing and health giving properties to every part where the catarrhal poison is present.
 Used in this way, Hyomei kills all catarrhal germs. drives the poison from the system and heals all irritation that may be present in the mucous mem- brane.
 If you have the ordinary catarrhal symptoms, such as offensive breath, burning pains in the throat, cough, raising of mucous. difficulty in breath ing. sneezing. huskiness, discharge from the nose. droppings in the throat, coughing spasms, etc, begin the use Of HyOmei at once.
 A complete Hyomei outfit costs but S1, extra bottles. if needed. 50 cents, and is sold by The Larson Drug Go. under an absolute guarantee that it will cure catarrh or money will be re- funded.

 BASE BALL AT MESA TOMOR- ROW-Yesterday several hours of good hard practice was had by tho base ball nine of the Phoenix Athletic club. All of the members of the team were on the diamond and showed uo in good shape. At meeting held fol- lowing the practice Monte Graham was elected captain of the team. Manager C. F. Rinderle is as yet undecided just who he will have pitch in the game which is to be played with the Mesa nine on New Years day but it is likely it will be either Donovan or Delgado. The other point will be held down by Harter. For those who arr planning to go to Mesa and witness the game the Southern Pacific will make a reduced rate for the round trip and a number will take advantage of the concession. Word from Mesa says the team from that city is devot- ing considerable time to practice which makes it almost certain that some fast ball will be played when the two teams meet.

ness democracy is real and definite, the proprietors say. There is not only greater loyalty among employees, but most of the boards and committees serve the purpose of eliminating fric- tion. A petty manager, or foreman, cannot wrong anyone working under him. for every one in his department has the right of appeal. The system. however. has been built up gradually new powers being granted the employees as fast as they demonstrated their fit ness to handle their own problems. At the same time. the latter have added clubs and associations of their own which not only provide recreation and instruction, but noon lunches, treat ment in sickness and life insurance.

BOOKS ARE HIS HAPPINESS.

Apart from his extensive library. John Morley has no amusements what ever; but to be surrounded by his books is his ideal of happiness. He is a capital walker. but from his youth upward games have never had any attraction for him. So considerate is he of everybody and everything that it has been said of him that if he kept score of horses he would probably lefuse tO use them, because he feels so keenly for the brute creation that he will consent to be driven only on
 the level. The story goes that when
 he lived in a hilly part of Surrey he once kept a horse, but its kindly owner alighted from his carriage whenever hill had to be ascended or descended.
