HAMS SENT PATTERSON
Admirers Of Tennessee Can
didate Get Suggestion From
His Nickname.

Nashville, Tenn, July II. Fol
lowers of Gov. Patterson, especially
elated over his victory, have adopted
a unique way of expressing their
qualification.
Asis we'll known, the Governor for
years has borne the nickname of
Ham, a fact which became more
widely known during the recent
warm canvass. On the morning of
the convention, Tuesday, a strong
supporter forwarded him a large
country ham, with a cordial express
ion Of pleasure.
Since then nearly every train has
been bringing to Nashville one or
more healthy-sized country hams,
marked to the executive. 1t is pre-
dicted that before the week is out
the mansion larder will be supplied
with enough country hams to last
Gov. Patterson's family through his
new term.

Mystery of the Watermelon.

Here is a mystery, according to
Mr.. Bryan. He says: IL am not
much of a farmer as some people
claim. but | have observed the water
melon seed. 1t has the power of
drawing from the ground and
through itself 100000 times their
weight; and when you can tell me
how it takes this material and out of
its color forms an outside surface be-
yond the imitation of art, and then
forms in it a white rind and within
that again side of red heart, thick.
ly inlaidwith black seeds each capable
of drawing through itself 100000
times its weight-when you can ex.
plain to me the my stery of the water
melon, you can ask me to explain the
mystery of God"
Mr.. Bryan starts a line of thought
that may be carried still further.
Sometimes the watermelon has been
formed with all its mysteries and lies
ripe upon the hill in the pale star
light of a summer night. Then there
moves stealthily out of thecornfeld a
human biped encased in a covering
of cuticle showing the darkest Of all
colors and removes the growing
melon from the parent stem and re.
tires unseen. The mystery on the
following day is, what became of the
wonderful agriculture niyStaery?

DARK DAYS IN SOUTHLAND
Pathetic Wall from the Parched
Throat of an Editor in the
Dry District.

Colonel s. L. Slower. publisher of the Led
ger-Dispatch of Norfolk, Va. finished writ
ing out directions concerning the making OF
a julep, dispatched them by the hall boy,
and then turned a pair OF mellow, brown
eyes on his interviewer in his sitting room
in the Hotel KrickerOocker, New York City.
IT'S sholy a serious business, subj" he
said, I'm reply to a question as to the in
crease OF prohibition in the south. The
last time | was in Georgia 1 saw a general
Of our confederate forces with his tongue
so far down over his chin. sub. that I
thought he was weariri a red necktie. II
was in a little town where there wasn't any
club. an IL | hadn't had a few drops in my
flask to spare him we'd have had another
Napoleon pass into the valley OF the
shadow.
only this very week the statesmen Of
Georgia passed a law putting a heavy tax
on what thes call near-beer' ip that state.
It's a harmless. an to some people. a
refreshin' beverage. but the prohibition
party don't like near-beer and so those as
do like It must pay high TO It.
Now, where does the pussonal liberty Of
a gentleman come in. suh?'
The hall boy entered with the juleps and
was greeted with a groan of despair from
the colorel.
MY Gawd, subj he exclaimed, will you
look a those juleps. DInged IL that fool
bartender hasn't decorated the tops of 'em
until they look like a couple OF Merry
Widow ladies', declared the colonel. and
/ told him in my directions to eschew the
dingbats. No julep's fit to drink when it's
stabbed with a slice of orange, speared with
a slab of pineapple, and riddled with cher
ries. It's cruel murder, sub, cruel murder,
ar nothin' less"
The boy was sent away to have the juleps
"undressed."
Yes, suh,' the colonel resumed, sit looks
like we've fallen on evil days sho enough.

Only this week Kentucky met a frightful
disaster in the fire near Lexington. Think
of II. sub There were 1850 barrels Of good
liquor destroyed by the flames
The colonel sighed ard looked expectantly
toward the door.
DO you realize fully the extent of that
disaster7" he asked. I'll tell yo', sub. a
half pint Of whisky will make three old
fashioned toddies, That makes six to the
pint and twelve to the quart, forty-elght to
the gallon, and, as the usual whisky bar
rel carries twenty-five gallons, there would
be 1900 toddies to the barrel. Think of It,,
the magnitudinous horror of II, suhl
There were burned in hat fire 100000 old
fashioned toddies, or pretty near the same
amount Of juleps If you use whisky in
stead of brandy in yo' julep."
The boy brought the untrimmed iuleps.
The colonel slipped his critically, pinched
off a withered leaf or two, lifted his COB
let, and said:
