RECORD BROKEN
For Delivery If Tobacco in
OwensDoro.

The record for tobacco deliveries
in Daviess county was beaten today
BY even the shcwipgs made MP to
noon, says the Greensboro Inquirer
o3 Dec. 80. According to the fig
ures the Inquirer was able to get
there must have been at least 900
loads Of tobacco delivered in the
county today. approximating mill
lion and a half pounds.
1t is expected that this will be fol-
lowed with other heavy deliveries
this week and the receipts until
Friday night will probably accumu-
late sufficient to keep the warehouse
hands busy for several weeks and
then the factories may have to have
a cessation from receiving in order
that the received tobacco may be
gotten out of the way.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-07-07

The republican managers are at war with each other over the seiec- tion of a chairman of their national committee. Candidate Taft seems loath to settle the matter and has postponed the evil day until July \. Whatever decision he arrives at will not add to the era of good feeling that is necessary to get the brethren together. The trouble is the an- tipathy of Hitchcock and Voreys. the two Taft managers of the campaign for the nomination. Although N- Hitchcock has said that his health will not permit him 10 assume the arduous duties of chairman, his friends are still very actively at work in his behalf, which would indicate that he wants it. Hitchcock and Vorevs are now at Washington, and there is no love lost between these two. for both seem to imagine they fixed things for Taft and are entitled to the Chairmanship as a reward. Both of these practical politicians know too much to be neglected by Mir Taft, and both will have 10 ue taken care of politically. and no doubt will be. If the law compelled publicity of expenditures made in se- curing nominations, there would uE- doubtedly be a nest of corruption in the way of money spent and offces promised exposed to the American people which would astound them and perhaps defeat MT Taft for presi- dent.

Penanes For piseourtesy.

Nicholas l., cZar of Russia, was the type of an absolute aristocrat. The succession of terrible wars which clouded his reign did not tend to soften his disposition or to render him less lmperious- But rough and harsh as he was. Nicholas had. measure of chivalry in his disposition He would not tolerate under any circumstances an insult offered to a woman. AS the czar was driving through the streets of St Petersburg he caught sight of an officer of bis household In the act of upsetting an old beggar woman whose hands were raised in a prayer for aims. The official was quite un- mindful of the august witness of his act and was rather pleased when. a few hours later. ae was summoned to the imperial presence Nicholas soon undeceived him and in the presence of a dozen courtiers cut him to the quick with his indignant re7roof

On the semi-municipal ownership street railway of Cleveland if you offer a s5 bill in payment of fare the conductor pockets it and tells you to apply at the office of the com pany for your change. This is bad enough for the man who has more bills in his pocket and plenty of time to chase up his change, but if you haven't another cent and hap pen to be miles from home and from the traction office it may be a seri- ous matter. The Cleveland Plain Dealer calls it highway robbery, and intimates that practical experience as we'll as good intentions is neces. sary to run a street railway proper- ty.

A JOURNALISTIC HOAX.
Trick the Harvard Lampoon Played
on the Crimson.

Trick the Harvard Lampoon Played
on the Crimson.
Speaking of the Crimson Harvard's
daily newspaper, reminds every Har-
ward man of the Lampoon's master
stroke-or joke-played on that dignt-
fed and unsuspecting sheet on Me-
mortal day, 1901. The Crimson had
announced that 1t would not appear on
that holiday, but inconspicuously, so
few were surprised to find their Grim
son at their door that morning as usu-
al. Their surprise began, however,
when they scanned its contents. This
always serious sheet seemed to have
become most frivolous and irresponsi-
BILE during the night, for in its columns
all sorts of weird and fantastic state
ments appeared.
The news, though clothed in the usu-
al heavy, dignified Crimson style, was
wildly revolutionary in character.
Among the items that appeared were:
"a Plot to Blow Up Memorial Hall, !"
"Strong Men to Get the Varsity H."
wellesley Crew to Be Guests of the
University and most important of all
q notice, "Lampoon Celebration at z
Tonight" Then the joke came out.
The Lampoon had published the ia
nous fake Crimson the joke was
known throughout the country, and
that night Lampy's sanctumi was the
scene of bacchanalian revelry. When
the following year the Crimson editors
sat up all night with injunctions
against q repetition of the fake the
joke was again on them, for Lampy
differs from history in that he never
repeats hi1nself.-K. B. Townsend in
Bohemian.
