to his servant, who had attended a
young English lord on a shooting ex-
curson.

Hindoo, the young sahib shot divinely.
but Providence was very merciful to

Advance Agent Tells story

Harry S. Fulton another of the
newspaper men who have renounced
the profession for the sake of becom-
ing the herald of some pretty actress
or theatrical troupe, is at the Alex
andria.
Mr.. Fulton, like most men on the
road, has numerous interesting expert
ences and one of these related to q
group of old friends in the Alexandria
corridor has to do with the much
talked-of Jew.
The Jew was a passenger on train
in which-no, we will let Mr.. Fulton
tell it himself.
"Train wrecks" said he, "seem to
come rather frequently in my line and
1 am always having hair breadth es-
capes and experiences laughable or the
reverse. On the way out here there
was a collision at Milford, Utah. 1t
happened little after midnight and
/ was sitting in the smoking room with
few others who were swapping
stories to pass the hours. There was
the usual bang, jerk and then the
standstil1. We were thrown back into
our chairs, but as soon as we recovered
our, equilibrium we went forward to
see what had happened We found two
engines, each one trying to ride over
the other. The forward cars were
piled up and some of the people in the
tourist sleepers were pretty badly cut
up. The people of the town came down
to see what had happened and a man
with a magnesia camera prepared to
take a picture. When the Jew saw
the light he put his hand up to his
face and shouted: Limp, limp every
body limp, or you Won't get any dam
ages' He suited his action to his
words and limped. We have not yet
heard whether he got any damages or
not"
Mr.. Fulton is footing the horn of
the Heir to the Hoorah'' company
He is one of those professional liars
who makes life more interesting fol
us now and then with some of Their
yarns, but the story of the Jew is true
| The fact that it is not about one OF
the members of Mr.. Fulton's company
his sufficient proof Of this.
