She'll Kiss Her " Steady. -

Mary Waldo, of 1856 Second street,
had rightful complaint against her
former beau, Giza Lawrence, when she
appeared before Magistrate Breen in
the Yorkville court. 81 used to like
him, and promised TO marry him., she
said. "Then I changed my mipd. So
now he goes about telling all the other
fellows not to have anything to do with
me. He said 1 am too good"
Aren't you too good?" asked the in.

"'Course not" she shifted, "Im

'And how are they %
"Well, they all let their steadies kiss
'em, and l do, too. But Giza says l
wouldn't. And it amt SO. III kiss
my steady any time"
Magistrate Breen took good look at
the young lady. She is about eighteen,
round, perfect and charming. Lips are
crimson, you know. Foot slender and
tlightly arched. Waist just right for a
steady. Even an unsteady should be
more than willing to kiss her. Giza
admitted that he had slandered her.
He had kissed her. He kind of puck
cred his lipe, in silent token that he
was willing to kiss her again. His
eyes half closed, and he shifted his
right foot meditatively. The magis-

REPUBLICAN BREAK AWAY.
Rumblings of Discomfort Heard All Over
the State-The COx-BrOwnlOw COmbi
nation Goes Against the Grain.

Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
The republicans of Tennessee are
breaking away from Boss Walter P.
Brownlow. Rumblings of discomfort
are heard from all over the state, and
{ stock of Hon, H. Clay Evans is go
ing up at a rapid rate. The Cox
Browulow combination seems to be go
ing against the grain of the faithful fol-
lowers of the 6. o. p, just as it has
proven distasteful to the democrats of
the Old Volunteer state.
For several years past Congressman
Brownlow, by virtue of his seat in the
national congress, and because of the
further fact that he is the member OF
the republican national committee from
Tennessee, has ruled with high hand.
His Endorsement was not only good for
rural postotfice, but it was all that
was necessary to secure an appointment
as United States marshal, district at
torney, or even judgeship. Recently,
however, it seems that President
Roosevelt has gotten into the habit OF
looking into the character of the men
indorsed by Congressman Brownlow
and the result has been that he has re-
ceived many hard "throw downs" in
the matter of patronage. Consequent
ly the fellows in the trenches with
thirsts for Office have been studying
the political sky, and have been search
ing for another guiding star, feeling
that if they get to warm their feet un'
der the pie counter it will be necessary
for them to furnish other evidence OF
fitness for the positions other than
Congressman Brownlow' s Endorsement.
Another move on the part of the
Tennessee republican congressman
which has gone against the grain is his
combination with Gov. John Isaac Cox
The charge of having combined with
the present democratic governor oi
Tennessee was first made by Hon. Jno.
G. Houk, former republican congress
man from the Second district of the
state The same charge was made il
Washington and at different point;
throughout Tennessee, and finally
there .ppeared in the Johnson City
Comet a letter from Congressmar
Brownlow, written to the editor of the
Jonesboro Herald and Tribune, paper
owned by Brownlow, in which the Obs

paper not to allow anything more to g(

Gen. wheelers First Meeting With Lee.


Gen. Joe" Wheeler, q hero of two
wars, and rich in years and fame, died
before he had lived out the one ambi-
tion that remained in his heart. He
wanted to write the history that he had
helped to make with his sword and as
legislator and pacifcator of his coun-
try, He wished to close his career as
a man of letters and especially as his
torian.
With this purpose in view, about q
week before his death he became a
stockholder, director and the histor-
ical editor OF the Golden Age, new
magazine edited and published by
southern men in New York. He wrote
his first article, his Reflections of West
Point Fifty Years Ago, for the Februa-
ry number of his magazine, and died.
The article is of especial interest as be-
ing the first effort of noble purpose
and the last effort of noble man. But
it is of itself of inherent interest. The
famous cavalry commander describes
his first meeting with General, then
Colonel, Robert e. Lee, the superin-
tendent of the military academy. The
following is brief extract:
"I found my way to the door of the
Office of the superintendent of the
academy. The superintendsnts order
ly, whose duty it was to announce Wis
itcrs, was for q moment absent, and
being ignorant of military rules ]
knocked at the door. / heard the
words come in. AS / entered, this
remarkable man, Robert E. Lee, who
afterward became q renowned warrior,
rose from his seat behind bis desk, me-
me as approached, and placing hi'
hand upon my shoulder, said with {
welcome smile: "A young cadet who
has come to report?' Never have
seen form or face which so impressed
me; his uniform was closely buttoned
showing his erect, we'll rounded an(
perfect figure; his manner was dignifi
ed and embodied modesty, kindness
benevolence and all the characteristic
which convey the idea OF purity anC
nobility. He was in his forty -nintl
year, mustache faced, with slight,
gray hair. At that time he was cap
tain of engineers, with bravet ranks o
major, lieutenant-colonel and cononel
which honors he won by courage an'
valuable service in battles Of Mexico
SO highly regarded was he that the ar
my and war department considere'
him the logical and certain successo
of General Scott as commander Of tn
army.
SIN reply to the question l bowe'
to express the affirmative and after
few kind words he took me to the doc
, of the adiutant, Lieut.. |. b. FRY
afterward prominent general, tellini
me that Lieut.. Fry would give me al
instructions aud directions. This kind
. fatherly reception was different fror
: my preconceived idea of military deco
rum; there was not particle of auste
rity in the bearing of either Col. lie
or Lieut. Fry"

BIG UNDERTAKING

One of the republican officeholders,
who is occupying position by virtue
of his faithfulness to Brownlow, stated
yesterday that Brownlow was too big a
man just to be an average congressman
aud rule one party III Tennessee, and
that he was going to control them both.
But whether the East Tennessee con-
gressman can accomplish his undertak
ing renlains,to be seen.
The discomfort with Brownlow in
Tennessee has arisen because of the
fact that he has always played bis cards
so as to accomplish republican success
in his own and the Second district and
defeat the republican candidates in the
other districts as we'll as the party in
the state. He does not desire republi
can success in Tennessee, is the charge
the republicans are making agains
him. because the election of q republi
can governor would still further cripple
his Influence and interfere with his ont
idea iu politics-to get offices.
Hon. Fl. Clay Evans has never an
nounced that he would make the rac'
for governor and has given no intima
tion of what he would do in the premi
ses, but the republicans all over th,
state have nevertheless been insisting
that he enter the contest, because it i
a general opinion among republican
that he is the only man in the stat
who would have ghost of chanc
against the democratic candidate
Many republicans even go so far as t
say that Brownlow is pushing tn
claims Of I. A. Wright, an obscur
man who lives over in Roane county
and of whom nine.tenths of the peopl
never heard, because he thinks Coy
Cox will be renominated, aud for th
further reason that he is afraid MI
Evans would defeat Cox if the latter
successful in securing the democrati
nomination.
