BULLY COWED BY BRAVE MAN
Incident In Warrington Restaurant
That Ended Career Of ,lmas-
ined bad Man."

"One Of the bravest men I ever
saw in battle" said a retired colonel
in the United States army, was a
native Of Ireland who had served in
the British army and was captain of
United States volunteers during the
war with spain. After that scrimmage
he settled down to business in Wash
ington. Thath tbs man, whose name
Will not mention, could be brave on
all occasions was proved by an epis-
ode in leading restaurant on F street,
at the capital, one day.
There was big bully, an ex-prize
fighter, as big as Jim Jeffries, who,
when in his cups, had the cheerful
habit of shaking hands with a man
In a friendly way, and, at the same
time, smashing him in the jaw with
his left. He pulled of this trick one
afternoon upon friend of my army ac-
quaintance-Capt. Smith, we'll call
him-and the bullys victim, on the
way to the hospital, ran into Smith.
A few minutes later Smith entered the
restaurant. Nodding to some acquaint-
ances, he pushed his way through the
crowd and walked straight up to Mr..
Bully, who weighed hundred pounds
more than Smith.
"'Hello, Smith, shake hands, said
the big man.

stunt that you did to a friend of mine

you are a coward, a cur and bully
but I'd get you, anyhow

self. Mr.. De Graw was busy in his
sanctum, SO the caller, who had never
been in Washington before, told his
business to gentleman sitting at a
large ornate desk, tapping idly with
his index finger on what appeared to
be hard rubber inkwell At the mo-
ment that the visitor had finished
stating his case the door opened Mr..
De Graw walked out, stepped up to
the southern postmaster, whom he had
never seen, called him by name, re-
peated all the things he had said and
the questions he had asked, answered
them, gave the visitor friendly shake
of the hand and disappeared into his
Office again.
The postmaster's jaw dropped down
on his wishbone and his eyes bulged
out OF his head.
"My gracious" he cried, is he one
Of those mind readers I've been hear
ing about?"
And the visitor wouldn't be pacified
or admit that be was sane and sober
until it was explained to him that De
Graw used to be a crack telegraph
operator and even now likes to finger
the keys. All the branches of his Of

sets that are very small and practical

this incident, they serve a very useful
purpose on occasion.

Joke AnQers the Judue.

Judge Balcom was talking to a
crowd on the street few days ago
telling them the proper way to put
shingles on a house. He said:
THE old rule was to allow six inches
of the shingles to show to the wealth
err but that is too much. You should
allow not more than four inches to
show"
Some wag remarked in a matter OF
fact tone to the Judge: How would II

replied: I've seen roofs made that
way; but it takes great many
shingles"
