They hodge Fisher.

A Charleston correspondent OF the
Huntington Daily Advertiser pa US
Hon. Jake Fisher, of the following
deserved compliment:
Lobbyists have discovered that it is
useless TO bother Senator Jake Fisher,
from BraXton county. Jake has been
IN the Senate several sessions and he
has not only been up against the gem
tlemen who have an axe TO grind, but
knows one the minute he lands. He
has adopted the plan of telling these
fellows the first thing that comes into
his mind when they approach him
and then votes as he pleases. He fig
ures that he is not under any obliga-
tons to any of them, that his time is
more valuable looking after business
than listening to them, that he has
enough sense to know which he ought
to vote for, and if he hasn't, he ought
not to be in the senate. AS a result of
his mode of procedure he is not bother
ed to any great extent, especially by
the old timers, al though some of the
new ones go after him once, but not
the second time"

EMPERoR'S TALISMAN NOW
A SCARF PIN IN DENVER


Some AGO years ago one Of the old
Pharaohs who ruled over the destinies
Of the millions OF ancient Egypt and
built for their royal remains t0mbs Of
psrbaric srlendOr, directed his court
5eWeler TO carve for him a small and
wonderful image of the great ruier. The
workman performed his task well and
presented TO his monarch a little statue
about an iECh in height which repre-
scented Pharaoh in all his regal splendOr.
TIE image was pierced by a fine gold
chain and hung about the neck OF ths
Egyptian ruler. When this Pharaoh
died the image about his neck was
buried with the royal mummy. Cen
turtles passed and a few years ago the
royal tomb was opened and the mummy
of the ruler packed of to q museum
The little image which lay upon tha.
breast Of the dead ruler was secured by
a Denver man.

Pharaoh mounted as stick pin and to-
