He Got tho Chair.

On a very hot afternoon q number
of around town chaps who didn't seen
to have much TO do were lounging III
the chairs In front of leading hotel
Several travelling men came out OF the
hotel and, finding all Of the chairs
occupied. Locked and spoke things that
wouldn't go wclI in polite society.

Hold on minute" replied another

he walked over TO one Of the loungers
and in the most courteous way said
"Will you please tell me whether that
is a drug store across the street,"
NO." replied the lounger; that's q

"Oh. is it? Well, say, what is that
nice big building just down the street
there, two corners away"
That's the postoffice," was the re-
ply.

Varieties of Humor.

The Temple of Art, devoted to that
peculiar form of entertainment yclept
polite vaudeville" was crowded tc
suffocation as Messrs. Biff and Bang
the refined sketch team and sidewalks
conversationalists stepped jauntily tc
the footlights. In response to the deaf
ening applause Messrs. Biff and Bang
bowed condescendingly as though il
hurt them.
Without further preliminary Mr.
Biff hit his partner on the rear of his
ample trousers with a stuffed club
remarking, IT'S a wise man that
knows his own mind"
And Mr.. Bang, not to be outdone in
this little exchange of pleasantries,
promptly buried an ak in the skull OF
Mr.. Biff, remarking the while, Its a
wise man that minds his own nose"
Whereupon the intelligent audience
screamed with delight and voted Biff
and Bang the best ever. "And yet
they were a frost in the London
halls" commented a man in the front
row. The English have no apprecia-
ton Of real humor." Philadelphia

Mr. scott And The Glass Industry


On the 18th of May, 1909, Nathan Scott,
of West Virginia, appeared in the United
States Senate chamber with a large as
sortment of glassware. The glass Sched-
uIe of the Payne Aldrich tariff bill was
Under consideration. Mr.. Scott is man
ufacture OF glass and Senator. he ex-
hibited his products, quoting cost and
prices. He protested tearfully against
any reduction OF the tariff on his own
goods. In that amazing fashion Mr.. Scott
gained fourth place in the Worlds list oil
Senators Of privilege.
The performance, probably without a
precedent would have entitled Senator
Scott to first rank on the roll with Aid
rich. Guggenheim and Kean were 1t not
for the TACT that their influence has been
much greater than his. No man is en-
titled to all upper seat in the tariff val
haila who goes about his work coarsely,
openly. Extensively. When Mr.. Scott
came into the Senate with his pack OF
glass like an old-time pedder and COM
planned OF the hardshipS that he was
suffering under tariff that runs as high
as 1917 per cent. the spectacle must have
been very pai..il 10 those Senators OF
privilege who deal tariff cards from be-
meath the table.
We cheerfully assign Mr.. Scott to niche
No. 4. however, on the ground OF his
sincerity in importuni and because
his particular industry probably employs
a smaller percentage OF decently paid
workers than any other in America, pro-
tecled or unprotecled.-New York World.

Ano ther Case for Grand Jury.

Last Sunday at the house OF Dan
Reddick few miles northwest Of
town, another killing was added to
the already too long list which the
next grand jury Of Madison county
will be called upon to investigate.
Livingston McCallop used shotgun
with fatal effect upon the person of
Bubber Stephens, after which he
walked to town and surrendered to
Sheriff Stanton and was locked up in
the county Jail.
McCallop's story is that he was
visiting at the house Of Reddick and
was engaged in peaceful conversation
with his host when Stephens accom-
panied by two other negroes came
to the place and calling him into the
yard jumped on him and proceeded
TO give him beating. He managed
TO break away and stepped into the
house and grabbed Reddick's shot
gun, securing which he warned Ste-
phens to keep back, Stephens, he
says, advancing upon him with an
open knife. Stephens continuing to
advance he raised the gun and fired
to protect himself inaictiDg a wound
from which Stephens died in a few
minutes.
