stopped n Riot,


In the stormy days OF the house OF repre-
sentatfves. just before the adoption of the
resolution precipitating the war with
Spain, Colonel Henderson prevented a gem
eral riot on the floor. Partisan feeling was
running very high and Representative
Brumm of Pennsylvania and Representa-
tive Bartlett of Georgia became involved
in a dispute and the lie was exchanged.
Members began throwing copies of the
Congressional Record at one another's
heads and to strike out right and left with
their fists and one excited southerner
drew a knife. There was a great rush
OF members into the space directly In front
of the speakers stand. which for the time
being seemed transformed into a fighting
pit.
Suddenly Henderson came hopping down
the aisle on his crutch, and leaning himself
against the desk, he waved his crutch In
the air and his voice rang out in a clarion
call for order. For the time he seemed to
override even the power OF Speaker Reed
Members of the house of representa-
tives," he shouted, you forget where you
are, Back to your seats!'
The command was effective. Members
halted and dropped into convenient seats
and in few minutes Henderson's crutch
Hdu COinplctSiy IcSloTSu OTuef Wnere the
gavel OF Speaker Reed had apparently
failed.
Much fun was always poked at Colonel
Henderson by his cOnfreres because of his
reputation for distributing free seeds to
his constituents. Once. when he was being
ridiculed for his free seed fad. he calmly
felt in his pocket and handed TO his ridl-
euler a postal card. In a woman's hand. II
read: Dear Congressman Henderson
Johns influence can't be got with is cents
worth Of free seeds. but IL you will send
me a box OF hairpins l will look out for
him. (Signed) his wife"
Another communication read: why moi
let up on seeds for a while and send jack,
knivesG In that case radish seeds would
not come up poor turnips."
Mr.. Henderson was very fond OF dancins
and was an excellent dancer. despite the
fact that he wore wooden leg. Women

Incidents in Life of Henderson
CONTINUED from Page Five.)

Mr.. Henderson as speaker both he and Mr.
Frye were invited to state dinner In
honor of the cabinet. After the banquet
the speaker called the presidents personal
attention to the fact that his seat at the
table was subordinate to that of Senator
Frye. The speaker was very angry about
1t. 1t required all of President McKinley's
diplomacy to smooth him out. The only
other time after that when the speaker and
Senator Frye were together at the same
function was at the dinner to Prince Henry
of Prussia at the White House. President
Roosevelt put Senator Frye on one side
OF. the table and Speaker Henderson on
the other, both equally distant" from
himself.
Another story had 1t that 1t was his Gus
tom to scrutinize dinner lists where am
bassadors were to be present and to send
his regrets If he was not placed nearer the
head Of the table than any ambassador.

Look at Lincoln.

Look at Lincoln.
The dear old town is waking up and be-
ginning to put on really metropolitan airs.
For years only during the foot ball season,
when the long haired. Dig .imbed Corn
huskers filled the public eye, has the state
capital shown any signs of porting blood.
But now it's so different that one doesn't
know Just what to do about ". All be-
cause the Western league has put Lincoln
back on the base ball map. Ducky Holmes
has pushed steadily along with his park
down there, has the fence up, with con-
crete piers in for his grand stand, and
other things moving along ut rate thnt
suggests business in every line. Lincoln
Ia going to take its old r(ace IN base ball,
and that means that other towns in the
Western will have to sit up and take no
tice. Three times before has the capital
city had team and each time Il has been
a hustler Under Dave Rowe's manage
ment in 1891 the Lincoln team was right Up
near the top all the time. 1t had some
names on it's roster that are well known IN
base ball annals--Jesse Burkett, Harry
Raymond. Monkey Cline, Jack Rowo, Parke
Wilson, Henry ODay, George Stafford and
such like stars, making up its team. Later
on, when Buck Ebright headed the flock
Freddy Barnes and Kid Spear were the
pride of the flock, and their names nre sun
cherished. Now Ducky Holmes 70 going &c

chances are that Holmes and his team
will be as popular as any that ever wore

J. B. Colbert in Trouble.

For the past six or seven weeks Brinkley has had prisoner, who on account of legal complication, was about to prove a Jonah. It was J. B. Colbert, tEo young man who was convicted some six or seven weeks ago on charge of selling liquor. The young man was fined $200 couldn't or didn't pay the fine and went to jail instead. He laid up in the city jail for one month and the "s{range thing" happened He was released from jail by Marshal Gillespie who re- fused to confine him in jail any longer, contending that the ordinance gave him the privilege to hold the prisoner ir his custody until the fine was paid and that he stood ready to comply with the law and produce the prison ev at any time desired. This stand on the part of Marshal Gillispie caused the city council to prepare a special ordinance covering the case and after it's final passage prisoners who fail to pay their fines will be forced to go to jail.

Fl Hop Joints Close.

Ep at Howell. three hop joints which have been in operation there, are said to have closed their doors on Saturday night last to stay closed fer good. It is said that the closing is the result of an agreement which they all signed without any solicita- tion from au outside source.
 It will be remembered that the re- cent shooting of officer Pat Kelly at Howell was the fruits of these joints and possibly this occurrence had something to do with the closing down of the joints.
 Whether it did or not, the owners are to be congratulated on their ac- tion.
 It is a great pity that the good that is in the keepers of such places all over old Woodruff county, would not assest itself and cause more ex- tensive action.-Brinkley Argus.

Saturday Deputy Sheriff w. c. Swift arrested Henry Clarke, negro. charged with selling whiskey. Clark was doing business in one of the lit- tie brick stores opposite Lynch's hard ware establishment. but his enter prise was nipped in the bud. He was tried before Justice McGill and fined $50. He is in jail. Deputy Prosecut- ing Attorney Greenlee represented the state in the prosecution, and as none of the lawyers of this county will take a blind tiger case, the de fense was not represented. But it was a plain case.-Clarendon Sun.

 R. H. Estes, d half-brother Of the defendant, and one of the most high ly respected citizens Of the county. testified that he had recently had S conversation with Ben Estes and warned him to give up tie business of dealing in liquor. To this he said that the defendant replied that he was in no danger as he had made ar rangements with town officials by which he was 10 pay monthly fines and be protected. Constable T. L.. Staner produced at the trial three large cases of Whisley which he found in the express office, addressed to Estes.

Upon examination I found that the eyes and collar button. which I supposed were beads. were nothing more than black pins with long. ugly points.--Good Housekeeping.

Ham m CTS.

Hammers are represented on tho monuments of Egypt twenty centuries before our era. They greatly resem- bled the banners now in use, save that there were no claws on the back for the extraction of nails. The>first ham, mer was undoubtedly stone held in the hand. Claw hammers were invent ed some time during the middle ages. Illuminated manuscripts of the elev- enth century represent carpenters with claw hammers. Hammers are of all sizes, from the dainty instruments used by the jeweler which weigh less than half an ounce. to the gigantic hammer of shipbuilding establishments, some of which weigh as much as fifty tons and have a failing force of from 90 to 1OO Every trade has It's own hammer and its own way of using l.

When yeu are blue don't make it worse by using up your nerve force. Keep still Try to listen.

Making Hair Look Thicker.

A simple way of making the hair look thicke: and heavier is as follows: After the shampoo, and when the hair is perfectly dry, plait it into two or three braids. Have one strand small and the other two large: braid loosely; hold the little strand tight and push the other two up toward the head. This will cause it to form large, natural waves. Don't wear a rat. They are unclean. keep the scalp, too warm and often cause the hair to mott luxuri- antly.
