SHOWING OFF A GUEST.

sender Should Appear.
One night while e~x-secretary of the
Treasury Fessenden was on a political
mission to the northern part of Maine
he stopped at a small hotel.
In the center of the house was a big
stove that warmed two rooms. In one
Of the apartments Judge Fessenden
established himself and prepared to
take proper comfort during the even
Ing. Just as he had got well located
with a book the landlord, a six foot
French Canadian, came in.
Excuse me, SER" said he. "but Mr..
Ed Wiggone Of Maysville, she be in de
odder room, an she wan to see Mr..
Fessendeen."
"Tell MI. Wiggin I'll be In a little
later" said Judge Fessenden, turning
another leaf In his book.
The landlord went out, He returned
in a moment. "Mr. Wiggone she send
his compliments, an she say dat she
wan MI. Fessendeen right away"
The interruption just at that mo-
ment rather nettled the Judge, who
was in no way accustomed to dictator
ship. He sent back such a sharp re-
ply that It was easily seen that the
landlord was cut by his asperity. In
just thirty seconds the landlord was
back. Judge Fessenden raised his
eyes to find the man staring at him
with a look of desperate resolve. with
suppressed excitement In his tones the
tall landlord spoke.
"Mr. Wiggone say she wan see Mr..
Fessendeen quick, an, she CUES o. de
house, an ISay she gon' to see HIM"
Forthwith the big landlord gwooped
down on the astonished gentleman,
seized him, tucked him under his arm
and strobe across into the room OF the
peremptory gentleman from MaysvflIe.
"Mr. 'Wiggonss," calmly said the
landlord, As matter Of fact as though
he had just delivered a pitcher Of ice
water, there be Mr.. Fessendeen." he
set the indignant Caller down ON a
chair and retired smilingly.

Need Of
better Fire
Protection


The following timely article is from
n of our best known business man:
Once there was a shiftIess time killer,
whose cabin roof was full of holes,
through which the water came into the
cabin every time it rained.
Afriend happening TO see the condi-
ton of the roof asked him one day why
he did not repair it.
SWELL" said the shiftless time killer
there amt no use to fix it when it's not
raining. and it is too wet to fix it when it
8 raining"
1t is a good deal the same way with
Hendersonville fire protection.
WHAT'S the use in spending money on
fire equipment when there are not any
big fresP And then there is no use to
spend the money after most of the town
is cleaned out by fire,
It is a problem to be considered Sc
riously, here, as all growing towns have
done, from the time of the founding OF
the first fire department which was Or
ganized in Philadelphia in IT36.
There Is no town of its size in the
country, l think, that has as poor pro-
lection in case of fire as He~ndersonville.
Look at the equipment on hand to
fight fire and protect property.
Hose cart with some fairly good hose
on the reel and an antiquated nozzle but
no axes, hooks or buckets.
Hose cart with some very poor hose
and nozzle and minus anything else.
Home made hook and ladder truck,
with some imposing but absolutely
worthless extension ladders but like the
above mentioned hose carts lacking the
other necessities which a hook and lad
der ordinarily carries.
But even with this equipment, some
thing might be done If there was water
but from the experiences of last sum-
mer we know how much we can depend
on that article.
Chemicals" have played a big part in
fighting fire in the past few years and
are meeting with approval everywhere.
Not only do they put out fire but they
also preserve property by doing the
work with out destroying goods by ex-
cess water. Have you ever noticed in
newspaper reports.-tDamaged by fire,
$500. 90, by water 81, OOO,Oo."
Years ago. when fire fighting was in
it's infancy, our fathers were members OF
volunteer companies, having an old,
hand break, man pulled machine, which
when worked, threw 3 small stream OF
water,-amid great shouting and excite
ment, on to the blaze, which by the way,
generally blazed itself out, leaving moth
ing but ashes and ruin.
At the present time three Or four men,
we'll drilled, with a small chemical save
what they would have lost.
Why can't Bendersonville have q fire
department., well drilled, and with ade-
quate apparatus, that will be able to
cope with RrO and not only-be q secur-
ity to the citizens and merchant but q
credit to the town as well.

Powsr Of -ImaaInatIon.

Illustrating the strange power Of the
imagination, q. B. Benson, author Of
"Dodo." tells this incident: A doctor
he knew had found 1t necessary to give
a patient for many evenings an injec-
ton Of morphia to enable him to get
some sleep. After awhile the doctor
thought it advisable to stop the NOR.
phia, and for two nights his patient
was unable to sleep, owing to great
pain. On the third night the doctor,
being still unwilling to administer NOR.
phia. injected plain water instead.
The man slept perfectly and awoke In
the morning with what Is known as
q morphine mouth.

PETTY CASES FOR HIGH COURT

Oystermen Make Appeal - Trolley
Company Resents Fine-Bunch of

tourists In the corridor In front OF the
court this afternoon at the same time
that an attorney on the other side of

bench. was fiatly contradicting H.
He said, quite modestly. that he had
some misgivings in taking up the time
of the court with such a small case. for
the reason that it involved only so. But
he had listened 10 the statement Of coun-
sci in two previous cases. one of which
concerned but SIS and the other a mere
bunch Of bananas. worth, when in good
condition. Just $50. He. therefore. felt
his case was of more Importance after all.
The SO case concerns a fine Of that
amount imposed upon Uriah S. Lee and
two other oyster men. in addition TO
seven months Imprisonment for illegally
taking oysters from beds in the Della
ware Bay leased to other oystermen by
the State Of New Jersey. Lee attacks
the validity of the law with the claim
that it infringes upon the admiralty and
marine jurisdiction of the Federal gov
ernment over navigable waters.
The case of SIS is one attacking the
constitutionaHty of the Massachusetts,
law. requiring street railroads TO sell
tickets to pupils of the public schools at
reduced rates The Interstate Consoli-
dated Company is resisting a fine of So
for declining to obey it. The principal
grounds presented are that the rate is
less than the actual cost of transporta-
ton. and that it is class legislation be-
cause IT does not apply to children at

grew the third case, was shipped from
