Ing the progress of the Institutes and
field day in the churches Mr. Hearne
was one of the speakers and made fine
impression then. Altogether, the appoint
ment seems a happy one.
One of the points which Mr.. Hearne has
consistently maintained with the board of
managers here is that he is unwilling to
enter into race with statistics In COM
petition with other similar associations in
the large cities, but that, in common with
the present policy Of department heads of
the Washington association he desires to
lead the association TO become more and
more positive religious force in this COM
munity.
With the large experience IL college, city
and state work and the interest he has ha ]
in the association wor 1-Hida movement,
Mr.. Hearne will bring to the position those
qualities of mind and heart which are
bound to exert an Influence in developing
in the nations capital an all-round metro
politan association.
With the assured cooperation of the
managers, executive department heads and
a large active membership, he will be able
to grip the difficult problems Of this field
and build upon splendid past still greater
successes in making the Washington asso-
citation approach more nearly the high ideal
which has been cherished for 1t by the
friends and workers who have labored SO
devotedly through the years to bring 1t to
its present perfection.

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
His Defense of Women as Humorists
Goes to Smash.

A party of men, among whom was
Colonel William Jennings Bryan,
were one night waiting for a train
in a depot hotel in a small Missouri
town. The landlady was the only
woman present.
The talk turning upon the alleged
inability of women to see the point
of a joke as readily as do the men,
Mr.. Bryan took the ground that
sense of humor was as much a part
of the feminine makeup as it was
that of man, but that it merely
lacked opportunity for development.
''To illustrate" said he, "take the
story of the party of excursionists
in the Egean sea. When approach
ing the Grecian coast the party as
sembled about the rails to enjoy the
beautiful scenery. One lady turned
inquiringly to a gentleman at her
right and said:
"'What is that white off there on
the horizon"
"'That is the snow on the noun
tains,' replied the gentleman ad-
dressed.
"'Well, that's funny she replied.
My husband said it was grease
All of the men in the group
laughed noisily at Mr. Bryan's story,
but the landlady looked puzzled. Fl
nally she said:
"But, Mr.. Bryan, how did the
grease get on the mountain"
Mr.. Bryan at once dropped the
defense of women as born humor-
ists.-Lippincott's Magazine.

TEEk SALLY.
Santa Claus Messenger to the Lit&ta
Children of the South.

For some time before Christmas
little children in the south await the
advent of ''Tall Sally with eager
ness second only to that of Santa
Claus himself, for ''Tall Sally" IS
Santa Claus messenger, and what
ever gifts little boys and girls wish
they have only to write and give to
''Tall Sally" and if Santa Claus can
bring them he surely will.
She is as much tradition of the
season as the old saint himself, and
you could no more shake a south
erner's belief in her than you could
in Santa Claus. She gets her name
from the fact that she is superhu-
manly tall-so high, in fact, that
sometimes she cannot get into the
house, but stays out on the grounds,
where she does not need to bend her
head except to hear the questions
of her little friends. No one ever
hears 'Tall Sally" speak, for the
children have it that her voice is so
homely that, though you know how
kind she is, it would brighten you
to hear her, and she always wears
sunbonnet and thick veil that you
may not see how plain she is.
There is never a previous an
nouncement Of her arrival-that is,
not often, though sometimes a
mother will tell her little ones that
'"Tail Sally" is coming that after
noon. and all the children of the
neighborhood gather to see her, so
sac holds a reception They all
thrust quantity and sometimes pain
fully written notes at her, contain
ing a list Of their Christmas wishes,
and to their questions she either
shakes her head or mods it. ;'Tall
Sally il likely TO appear any day
after Thanksgiving, and she is Of
course a grown friend Of the chill
dren. With the aid of poles she
rigs up an extension for height and
puts on a false face. The job is not
always an easy one, for great care
must be taken that sharp young
eyes do not detect the disguise, but
there is always some one who viii
do it.-New York Telegram.

Disastrous Fire is S arted
There.
LOSS AMOUNTS TO THOUSANDS
Fire Started in Pile ct Rubbish in
Rear of Moore's Store and Spread
Repi6IY, Sweeping Away all Build

DeSoto, fourteen miles east of Amer.
icus, was swept by most disastrous fire
at an early hour yesterday morning,
and ere the flames died ont for lack oil

houses IN The little town had been re-
duced to ashes.
There was no fl department to give
battle, and only when the last frame
building fell heap of charred ruins
did the fire fiend cease its disastrous
onslaught.
And the loss thus wrought ran high
into the thousands,
The fire was discovered at 1876
O'Clock, and started, it is said, in q pile
of straw in the rear of Moore's store.
Immediately the people turned out to
fight the flames, but SO rapidly did
they spread that the fire was soon past
all control.
All the stores burned were frame
buildings, in row, and built close to-
gether, and from one to the other the
flames leaped easily.
As it was impossible to check the
fire citizens began the removal of goods
from the doomed buildings. There
was little insurance carried by any of
the merchants, some having none at
all, and all tried to save as much pro-
perty as they could.
Many of the merchants, thus assisted
by the people of the town, saved part
of their stocks, while others lost all.
1t was hot work indeed, but the cit-
liens stuck to it Yallantly.
Principal among the losers by the
fire are Messrs E. A. Luke, Ferguson
Il Son, Geo. W. BagIey, WI. Ses-
sions. +. Fl. Scarborough and, in fact,
all doing business on the street. In
all, some eight or nine frame buildings
were swept away.
Ferguson & Son carried q small
amount of insurance, but it is nnder-
stood that few if any of the other mer-
chants were thug :: detected. Among
the heaviest losers, perhaps, is Mr..
E, A. Luke, VINO carried large stock
and was uninsured.
The total loss by the fire will proba-
bly, reach SIS, 900 or $4,000.
