BLUNT ANDREW JACKSON.
"oid Hiekory's" caustio Advice to
 James Buchanan.

"oid Hiekory's" caustie Advice to
 James Buchanan.
 Stories of Andrew Jackson are likely to be pointed and to have a practical application. as do the stories told of Franklin. Tn MT. J. ". Forney's An ecdotes of Public Men" there is given story as it was told by James Buchanan at his own table. Although it contained a reproof from the presi- dent to one who was to succeed him. it is said to have been n fayorite story at that board.
 Shortly after MT. Buchanan's return from Russia in 1884. 10 the court of which country be had been sent by Jackson in 1892. and immediately fol- lowing his election 10 the senate he called upon "old Hickory" with fair English lady whom he desired 10 pre- sent to the head of the American na- ton.
 Leaving her in the reception room downstairs. be ascended to the presi- dents private quarters. where he found General Jackson unshaved. un- kempt, in his dressing gown. with his slippered feet on the fender. before a blazing wood fire, smoking a corncob pipe of the old southern pattern.
 He stated his object. and General Jackson said that he would be very glad to meet the lady whom Mr. Buchanan desired to present.
 Mr. Buchanan was always careful of his personal appearance and in some respects was a sort of masculine Miss Fribhe. addicted to spotless cravats and huge collars, rather proud of foot small for a man of his large stat ure and to the last of bis life what the ladies would call "a very good figure"
 Having just returned from visit to the fashionable circles of the conti- nent after years of thorough inter- course with the etiquette Of one of the stateliest courts in Europe. he was somewhat shocked at the idea of the president meeting the eminent English ladY in such guise and yentured to ask if General Jackson did not intend to change his attire Thereupon the old warrior rose. with his long pipe in his band. and. deliberately knocking the ashes out of the bowl. said to his friend:
 "Ruchanan. want to give you lit- tie piece of advice. which I hope you will remember knew a man once who made fortune by attending to his own business. Tell the lady I will , See her presently
 The man who became president in 1s51 was fond of saying that this re- mark of Andrew Jackson humiliated him more than any other rebuke he had ever received
 He walked downstairs to meet the ladr in his charge. and in a very short time President Jackson entered the room. dressed in a full suit of black. cleanly shaved. with his stubborn white hair forced back from his fore head. and. advancing to the beautiful, visitor. he greeted her with almost kingly grace.
 AS she left the White House she said to her escort. Your republican prest dent is the royal model of gentle man"

Two Indiana boys were ar rested two years ago on the charge of murdering the mother of one of them at Anderson. One made a confession after his arrest, duplicating the other. with whom he said he had been drinking. They 10th needed money. When they reached the home of one of them, he enter ed the kitchen, where his moth CT was cooking dinner. The other was standing guard out side. When his mother accused the son of drinking he went into another room, secured a hammer and struck her on the back of the head. When she fell insen- sible he said he opened her dress and seized a bag which contained S16O and jewelry.
 How many more young men must brutalize themselves: how many more mothers be suddenly or gradually murdered by their own husbands or sons before America decides to force the liquor traffic out?
 It has been abundantly proved that no good comes from drink ing whiskey. Any young man who trifes with trippling is flirting with the devil. He is deliberate ly tempting the enemy to tempt and destroy him. He is risking his health, his reputation. his business prospects, his influence. his manhood and life itself; and all this but for the contemptible bauble of a moments tickling of his appetite or the pitiful pleas ure of trying to put on the airs of grown-up topers. Right now is the time to swear eternal hate to this awful habit and to sign a good strong pledge agaiust it. The Sunday school is a good place to do this and also to help others to do the same thing. Remember that the example of a good young fellow is worth a great deal to the boys.-Class- mate.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, April s.
Although IL is reported that strong
efforts have been made today to get
Governor Glasscock to change his
mind about calling the Legislature in
extraordinary session II is also stated
that he has in formed those opposing
his plan and state wide primary
that he proposes convening the legis-
lature a. m early date. Since the
governor has stated that II would be
folly for an executive to call the leg
. sislators together II he was not reason
ably certain II would pass a measure
proposed. IL is believed Governor
Glasscock has been given the assur-
ance that a majority OF the Republi
can members OF the senate will vote
for a primary bill and since the house
is known to be in favor OF one, by a
great majority. II will be up 20 the
Democrats TO assist the Republicans
in putting through the measure.
Probable Lineup.
II is figured tonight that not more
than seven and probably not over FIVE
Republican senator's will oppose a
state wide primary The first FIVE
are Hatfield. Craig. Coffman, White.
IN the doubtful column. although most
estimates places Meredith solidly
against il and Hearne in the doubtful
column. This would leave Sutherland.
England. Hood. Flynn. Grimes, Smith
OF Cabell, Smith or Roane, and Shinn
as certain for a primary. The Demo
cratic side is also figured very close
Senators French. Preston, Phillips.
Fisher. Bland. Peterkin. with Smith Of
Raleigh. Woods and Kidd in the
doubtful list.
II is believed that the governor will
also include the Virginia Debt bill in
his call leaving II up 10 the legislature
to treat the matter. as il may desire
without any suggestion of the COVER
nor
OF the five senators here Hatfield.
Craig, Johnson, Sutherland, and
Smith Of Cabell. the first three are op-
posed to an extra session. Former
