considering the various and rela-
tive merits of egg flip, plain ice
cream, cherry chump, nut frappe,
or any one of the other fifty-seven
varieties of summer drinks to be
had in Hendersonville. Deep
lines of thought corrugated his
smooth brow. Suddenly how
ever, dismissing all hesitation
from his mind, in a momentary
hush which pervaded the store,
his shrill little treble was heard
by all:

Tales of the Transfer Man.

The transfer man was waiting
his turn in the crowded barber
shop. The hour was late and he
looked detected.
"Why this melancholy mein 2"
he was asked.
Because I'm the transfer
man and every doggasted thing
that happens to a trunk anywhere
between here and New Orleans
and Jacksonville is my fault. Be-
cause folks tell me to have a trunk
delivered at a certain places find
they can't get accommodations
there and then have me chasing
them up from one hotel to another
from one boarding house to an
other, in vain and proftless at

Hendersonville Transfer Com
pany needs is not more men or
horses or wagons, but a good, all
round fortune teller and mind
reader. One able to read the
mysteries of the dim past and the
minds of the tourists who expect
me to find them in city of ten
thousand like Hendersonville.
It's the remarks / hear addressed
to me personally, when / do finally

makes me feel that prohibition is

How does the crowd compare
this year with other seasons?"
The Transfer Man paused to
light cigarette. He pulled
gracefully at it for a minute, felt
better and replied:
"Say, this crowd got 'em all

This is no suit case crowd this
year. Everybody's got from two
to ten trunks, and it's a
liberal crowd, too. Why, one Of
the drivers, this week, got nearly
ten dollars in tips from, the people
whose trunks he hauled, in addi-
ton to his regular wages.
And there's another thing, this
year, that I never noticed before, "

PERUVIANS ASSAULTED
Only Speedy Interference Can
Avert Hostilities Between
Peru and Ecuador.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The at
tacks upon the Peruvian consulate
and legation at Guayaquil were fol-
lowed late last night by attacks upon
the Eeuadorian legation In Lima. and
to-day 1t appears to be almost eer-
tain that war between Peru and Ecua-
dor will follow unless there is some
interference.
w. p. Cresson. charge OF the Amer
lean legation in Lima, in dispatches
received at the State Department to-
day, says that mob of Peruvian stu
dents attacked the Ecuadorian lega-
uon and consulate. removing the
shields. The President. of Peru ha-
rangued the mob. advising patience
and patriotism. Crowds afterwards
paraded the streets, but were or

In an earlier dispatch the American
charge reports that upon the receipt
OF the news OF the attacks upon the
Peruvian legation and consulate In
GuayaquiI. the Peruvian government
took most pessimistic view OF the
situation, called out the reserves and
placed guards about the Ecuadorian
legation, He says that the Peruvian
government will demand reparation.
The Peruvian consul has applied to
the United States consul at Guaya-
auil for assistance. and the state De-

Some of the residences and stores
of Peruvtans were broken into and

the mob was still furious and TN

The official dispatches received by
the Peruvian government from Its
representatives in Ecuador were OF
the most alarming character. They
are to the effect that the consul had
been assaulted by the mob. and tina,
the Ecuadorian troops Were present
but did not interfere. The Peruvian
