SAVED BY QUICK WIT.
Clever Ruse Of French Peasant Call.
ed For conseription.

60 TOT OoHaSTiptlons
Two young men Of certain French
village were called on to draw for
conscription. One only was wanted to
complete the number, and of the two
who were to draw one was the son of
a rich farmer and the other the only
child of poor widow.
The farmer made friends with the
official in charge of the ballot and
promised him handsome present il
he would only prevent his son from
going into the army. In order 10 do
this the official put into the urn two
black balls instead of one black and
one white. When the young men came
he said:
"There are two balls, one black and
one white, in the urn. He who draws
the black one must serve. Your turn
is first" pointing to the widows son.
The latter, suspecting that all was
not fair, drew one of the balls from
the urn and Immediately swallowed II
without even looking at It.
"Why have you done that?" asked
the official. "How are we to know
whether you have drawn black or
white ballT
"Oh, that's very simple" was the re.
ply. "Let the other man now draw.
If I have the black he must necessari-
" draw the white one"
There was no help for It. and the
farmers son. putting his hand into the
urn, drew the remaining ball. which
to the satisfaction Of the spectators
was black one.

A Quesr Ceremony.

A queer ceremony is performed every
year on the Sth day OF September in
the Vale Maggie, Italy. The region
abounds in vipers. The celebrants
form into n weird procession, each per

n huge figure Of n snake stuffed with
cotton. AS they pass along they weep
and lament believing that by the ex-
platory ceremony they will render
themselves proof against snake bites

Boom for McCreary for Democratic
Candidate for Governor Grows
Crabbe to Head Normal School.

BOOM McCREARY:-The Democra-
tic boom for Ex-Sen. McCreary for a
candidate for governor seems to be
gaining ground, and there is at least
chance that the whiskey people,
headed by Ben johnson, will accept
him as a compromise, in the hopes
that the Senator's reputation will save
the party from the consequences of
some of the blunders committed dur
ing the legislative session.
CRABBE RESIGNS:-J. G. Crabbe
has resigned as State Superintendent
of Public instruction, and will become
head Of the State Normal school at
Richmond His resignation will be a
severe loss to the entire, state, and
it is TO be hoped that his success in
his new place will justify the change.
TWO DROWNED:-An unknown
man and his son were drowned last
week near London. The man said he

the conductor will be authorized TO

the cause of about all the disorder
and rowdyism that occurs on trains.

Washington. d. c.,

April 2, 1910.
Our lovely spring weather seems 10
have had a good effect on Congress
| this week, and there has been less
cussing and fighting than for some
time back. This does not mean that
there is permanent peace, but
compared to the previous two weeks
and considering all the facts, and
making due allowance, and not being
too critical, it has been peaceful-at
least more peaceful.
The loudest holler has come from
one r Achilles Ballinger Secretary
of the Interior. For some time peo-
pie have been specializing on the ex-
act thickness of his hide, and now
they have the answer. He wont stand
for being called a shyster lawyer.
Golfers Weekly, which has long since
passed up the usual rules of courtesy
in his case, has been coming out a
little stronger in its language each
week. Finally they got rise out
of Achilles. The article is entitled
Ballinger-Shyster" and in it he is
accused of doing things which cannot
be forgiven even in a jack-leg lawyer.
/ He has stood for being called a liar
and a thief, but he now draws the
line, and says he will sue. There is
/ just a suspicion that this has been
what Golfers wants, as with a real
suit it will be possible to get court
records, and to put witnesses where
no Congressman can help them ont

next weeks issue.
Another little outside fuss comes
from far-away Manila, where a couple
of Japs have been arrested as spies,
just because they got caught sneak
ing around and taking photos of the
forts. They have asked writs of habeas
corpus, to get them out of the
clutches of the Army, and if the case
should ever be taken up by the two
governments, it is likely to make \
lot of trouble and some hard feel
ings.
But the real excitement has not
been pulled OFF, yet. 1t is reported
on good authority that the crouch
which Pres. Taft, has been developing,
and which has been reported in these
letters from time to time, has come to
head. II is now understood that he
is ready to lay off the famous smile,
brush the dust from the big stick, and
go after the people who have been
criticising him. AS we have already
propheded, we wish to remark once
more that we bet when he does begin,
there will be a-plenty doing right
away.
The line which the Presidents de-
Tense will take is still uncertain. 1t
is supposed of course that he will de-
fend the tariff bill, and that he will
maintain that he is carrying out all
the policies which the people desire.
He will demand proofs from the men
who have been criticising him or his
works, and will explain the sins
which the insurgents committed in
failing TO be regular and do what Joe

things before, and it is natural to ex-
