One cold night the ancestor got
lonesome and descended sociably into
the bed with his descendant, who lay
many nights thereafter on hospital
cot and ran up enormous doctor bills.
The victim of this ancestral mishap
had his superstition so aroused that
since then he will not even use a bed
with headboard, and the wall above
him is bare, even to the extreme of
not being papered.
Dire things are said to be in store
for he who stumbles or falls down, but
julius Caesar got around this super
stition in very canny manner when
he grabbed Africa during one Of his
little war games. He left his ship and
took a boat with the intention Of COM
ing ashore, taking possession of ev-
erything, and starting saloon so that
politics might be got under way. The
galley cook had packed a neat lunch
basket for him, and this was sitting
right in the bow of the rowboat, so
when julius sprang out in the grace
full manner he used on such occasions
his toe caught in the handle Of the
basket, and instead Of grabbing Africa
fguratively he grabbed it literally.
A great wailing started to go up
from the throats Of his associates in
the enterprise, but Julius was equal to
the occasion, and even while yet bal
ancing on one ear he managed to spit
out enough sand to roar out in great
stage voice: THUS I take possession
of thee. Africa" The walls changed
to cheering encore, but Julius Caesar
would not do it again.-New York

Career of Sidna Allen.-It has been
published that Sidna Allen, the now
outlawed chief, possesses worldly
goods to the value of 100000 and
owns a $4,000 house. Yesterday we
were told that a High Point concern
received $4,000 for the ornamental
wood work and other interior trim
mings. 1t seems that in this residence
plate glass abounds on every hand.
Sidna Allen was a wealthy mer-
chant and farmer. He usually went
neatly shaven and we'll dressed. With
him, moonshining and counterfeitinG
were rather incidental means of in
come. Most of his wealth was certain
ly not due to them. He exercised do
miniOn inside which such practices
might be carried on with comparative
impunity, and he appears to have re-
garded them as business opportunities
that he should not pass by.
He cared nothing for the law. Why
should he, when he had always been
able to beat it, one way or another, II
it concerned itself with him? He well
coined the reputation Of being des-
perate man and he had around him a
desperate clan. All Of them took great
pride in this reputation, and exploited
it continually to gain consideration OF
every sort for themselves.
Such was Sidna Allen. His wealth
is now being levied upon, under just

REPETITIoNs OF HISTORY.
Will the Democratic Party Make the
Mistake of 1881 Again?

In one respect the campaign at this
capital that winter Of thirty-two years
ago was precisely what is presented
in 1912. Then the friends of all the
other Democratic candidates-Thur-
man, Bayard, Morrison, Hendricks
Hancock and Field-dwelt in most
delicious amity; but all of them as
sailed Tilden. They declared he
was not physically fit, that he had
shown cOwardice in not waging civil
war in 1877, that he was a railroad
wrecker, that he had sought to buy an
Oregon elector, when in fact he re-
fused to buy a whole squad Of Louis
lana electors for trifie of about
100000. Now, in 1880, Tilden was
the strongest man the party had. He
would have swept the country, beat
ing Garfield 10000 in Ohio and 10O,-
900 in New York; but when his own
party rejected him the stolen election
was no longer an issue, and the Union
League club bought the presidency for
Garfield.
Well, today there Is perfect concord,
beautiful harmony, sweetest commu-
Mon between the friends of Harmon,

It'll never do to nominate Wilson;
Jim Smith would see to 1t that he was

and they are the aristocracy Of the
party and the salt Of our citizenship,
who would the sooner nominate Will

nifty of that same Jim Smith and all
his ilk from Wall street to Texas. And
the fact Is that much Of Woodrow

in the vicious assaults the bosses are

not one Of these gentry between the

leading candidate, and why? Because

The Two Colonels.-Among the over
tones the listening ear can catch quite
distinctly at times above the sonorous
music of the political campaign recur
those suggesting the probability that
Colonel Roosevelt will bolt the Repub-
lican ticket and that Colonel Bryan
will bolt the Democratic ticket. Meth
er colonel has as yet made any such
declaration in express terms. but it is
certain that neither of them is salts
fled with the prospect and that both
of them are preparing to sing solo
if the chorus does not suit them. Ii
one should bolt without the other, he
would have not only the limelight, but
whole stage to himself. His role
would be easy, his performance distin
guished. No other voice but his would
sing and soar and make the welkir
ring. But if both should bolt?
The two colonels have been in op-
position to each other, their political
| fortunes have been widely different
their policies and their tactics have

same songs and cOurted the same ap-
plause. If both should bolt, which viii

louder in denouncing courts and the
constitution?

LAS to the state chairman, zen.
Jones has been a faithful officer for
many years, without reward or with
out the hope of reward, and 1 think
he Is now making serious mistake
to withdraw when a Democratic VIC
tory seems to be in sight; for, If the
Democrats should win, the state chair
man would naturally be in position
to be of much service to his friends
in dispensing of patronage in the
state. and I really think that the gen.
eral, having served so long under
Republican regime, that 1t Is but due
him that he should be kept In the po-
sition whether he wants it or not, In
order that he may receive some bene-
fit IL we should win a national victory.
or course, I understand, some people
are opposed to him, but l think that
even they will have to admit that he
has been perfectly fair and impartial
in the discharge of his duties as state
chairman, and that he should be re-
elected"

 LuncheOns and Dinner Parties
By MYRTLE NILES

MT. and Mrs. E. F. Ellis were hosts last evening in delightful fashion. entertain ing congenial little company of a score or more with a buffet supper at their home on Mountain avenue.
 The dining room in which tempting hot supper was served in several courses was adorned with big yellow specimen chrysanthemums. A basket graced the center of the table and big yellow blos- rsoms were gathered into a sumptuous basket bouquet tied with a bow of tulle in the golden shade. Candlesticks were topped with yellow shades, through which glowed the creamy lights, and bon-bon dishes and sandwich salvers also showed the yellow touch appropriate to the llar- vest time. In suggestion of the Halloween period a quaint croquette on every plate was topped withsa witch-edlble, it's true, but witch, and among the viands were a number of quaint surprises.
 Mrs. Ellis was a charming and vivacious hostess wearing a reception toilette in the champaigne tint. Mrs. Russell Hunt, who poured coffee for her. was extremely pretty in white lingerie. The guests were only married friends of the hostess with two visiting girls

 The Jane Bland chapter, G. A. R., &C., complished most excellent work last win ter and it is anticipated that the coming year will be as profitable. It is the GUS tom and the law that they give something each year to patriotic purpose and some thing to charity. Last year both laws were followed. for handsome portable bathtub was presented to the Holy In- nocents' hospital and large contribution was made toward the monument soon to be erected by the D. A. R. to the memory or the revolutionary dead.
