Enroute to Funeral.


Rev. Robert Brumblay, pastor
of the First Methodist church OF
Pullman, had an exciting expert
ence Thursday while going to
Johnson to attend a funeral Rev
Mr.. Brumblay had never been to
johnson, but was told that it was
the second station after leaving
Pullman, and when the train
stopped. at Chambers the brake
man failed to call the name of the
station and the minister, supp0S-
ing that to be johnson. got off.
Just as his feet struck the ground
the brakeman gave the signal and
the engineer pulled out, at full
speed.
MIR. Brumblay looked around,
saw no churches nor anything
that looked like he had been told
that Johnson appears, and he call
ed to the express messenger F.;
This is not Johnson, is it?' The
mcsSehger, whose tsdJ1re-~vsssss- lust
passing him, answered no, and
Mir. Brumblay made a wild grab
for the ladder at the blind end
Of the baggage car, and caught on.
The train was then under full
speed and going some. His hat
blew off, but he hung to the lad
der. The brakeman bad seen hin,
and supposing him to be a hobo,
stopped the train and went back
to put him off.
he hrinlster explained the sieseA
alton, and was taken into the car
ard the brakeman furnished him
with a wide brimmed felt hat. of
the cowboy type, and the journey
was continued.
When the train reached John
son, a relative Of the young man
whose funeral the minister was to
conduct. was there to meet it, but
seeing no one with a clerical as
pect, be turned away, seemingly
much disappointed. Mr.. Brumblay'
made INJURY and was pointed to
the relative and made himself
known. This man remarked that
Mr.. Brumblay did not look lire a
minister, but when the cause Of tie
cowboy hat was explained, he got
busy and telephoned to Chambers
and had friend go out on the
railroad and find the hat.
He loaned Mr.. Brumblay his
derby hat, in which he attended
the funeral, and then donned the
brakeman S cowboy headgear and
returned with that as far as Cham
bers. when the man who had
found the hat met the train and
returned Mr.. Brumblay's own
head covering to him. Mr.. Brum-
blay caught a severe cold as a re-
suit of riding a quarter of mile
or more on the ladder with no COW
ering for his head. He is recover
ing, however, and hopes for no Sc,
rious consequences from his
unique experience.

Justice and Mercy.

One day last week a negro woman
named Jennie Davis was committed
to jail charged with selling whiskey..
The woman was unable to give bond,
and it transpired that she had three
little children with no one to care
for them. As soon as this fact was
brought to the attention of Solicitor
Otis, he consented to allow the 'wo-
man to come out under her own bond
for appearance at the next term Of
the sessions court. Solicitor OTIS is
to be commended for his action In
this case, and shows that while he ID
relentless in his pursuit Of those who
persist in violating the law as to the
sale of whiskey he is reasonable
enough to make an exception In cases
like the one herein mentioned

negroes from enumerating whites.
Census Director Durand to-day is
sued general Instructions to super.
visors.
Negroes doubtless can obtain the
information required from their own
race more accurately than white emu
merators," says Mr.. Durand. I
do not consider it desirable that in

orators would not be able to obtain
as accurate statistics regarding the
white population as white enumer-
ators could"
