It was stated that the government was
not in the least solicitous about its loan.
and believed that. with the added success,
following the appointment Of James NJ.
Barr as director would place the expo
stion on a solid basis and enable It to
make payment in due time.
1t was stated that the exposition man.

account the backward spring and other
handicaps with which the exposition has

change In the dictatorship, in the belief
that with a new directing genius the ex-
position could not only be made a show
of which the people Of Virginia would be
proud but that it would be made a hnan-
cial success as well.
It Is understood that Secretary Cortel-
you gave assurances that the government
would be lenient with reference TO the
payment Of the loan. and extended the
time limit as far as might be feasible
under the circumstances.
II was with this understanding, IL is
said. that Mr. Barr was appointed, and
Treasury officials have been informed
that the wisdom OF the appointment has

The new director was In Washington a
few days ago. and had a long conference
with Secretary Cortelyou upon the hnan-

Out on the way,
Widows and orphans weeping

A great disaster:
Half a hundred die,

A great collision:
Oh, pitiful cryl
The company's decision;
Pile 'em up high.
As high as a steeple
Up to the sky:
To hell with the people,
Pile 'em high!
Slumbering republic,
Your life's at stake.
Oh, when will the public

at the foot of the rest.
The first and second couples had
nearly completed their performances,
and Polly had not returned I be-
gan to grow uneasy, and to interpose
as many delays as T could without
attracting notice
The six reel is closed by the foot
couple balancing at the head of the
set, then in the middle, then at the
foot, again in the middle, meeting at
the head, and leading down.
My partner and I had commenced
balancing at the head, and Polly had
not returned. balanced until my
partner forced me on. I now deem
ed it advisable to give myself up
wholly to the double crosshop; so
that, if Polly should return in time
to see any step, it should be this,
though I was really nearly exhaust
ed. Accordingly, I made the att
tempt to introduce it in the turns of
the reel; but the first experiment
convinced me of three things at once:
1st. That~I could not have used the
step in this way in My best days;
I'd. That my strength would not
more than support it in its proper
place for the remainder Of the reel;
and, Sd. IF I tried it again in this
way, should knock my brains out
against the puncheons; for my part
ner, who seemed determined to con-
firm her husband s report of her,
evinced no disposition to wait upon
experiments; but fetching me jerk
while | was up and my legs crossed,
had wellnigh sent me head foremost
to Old Nick's house, sure enough.
We met in the middle, my back to
the door, and from the silence that
prevailed in the yard, I fattered my
self that Polly might be even now
catching the first glimpse of the ia
vourite step, when I heard her voice
at some distance from the house:
"Get you gone! G-e-e-e-t you gone!
G-e-e-e-eeet you gone!" Matters
out doors were now clearly explained
There had been struggle to get the
meat from Boiler; Boiler had triumph
ed, and retreated to the woods with
his booty, and Mrs. Gibson was heap
ing indignities upon him in the last
resort
The three "Get-you-gones" met
me precisely at the three closing
balances; and the last brought my
moral energies to a perfect level with
my physical.
Mrs. Gibson returned, however, in
a few minutes after, in a good hu-
mour; for she possessed lovely dis
position, which even marriage could
not spoil. AS soon as I could col
lect breath s~ough for regular con-
versation (for, to speak in my native
dialect, I was "mortal tired"D, I
took seat by her, resolved not to
quit the house without making my
self known to her, if possible.
