A preacher came at news paper man i'll this way: You editors do not tell the truth, If you did you could not live, your newspapers would be a failure The editor replied: You are right and the minister who will at all times and under all circum- stances tell the whole truth about his members, alive or dead, will not occupy his pulpit more than one Sunday, and than he will find 1t necessary to leave town i'll hurry. The press and the pulpit go hand in hand with whitewash brushes and pleasant words, magnifying little virtues into big ones.

WHERE HE WAS BORN

RILL FOGARTY was one of the most
popular men in Newport News. One
evening he introduced to a small crowd Of
his friends big, brawny stranger, thus:
Gentlemen, this is my friend, Tim
Murphy of Chicago He is good fellow,
one of the finest; but Tim is sport Don't
bet with him on anything, or he'll rob YOU
Bills roight. That's me, said Tim
all bet on anything at amy time. For
example, Ill bet tin dollars wild amy man,
or wild ivra man, that there amt no man in
this crowd that kin guess within t'ousan'
moiles av where was born.
Inside of ten minutes there were ten bets
up, and Bill held the money as stakeholder.
Seven men guessed Ireland. Two guessed
England. One guessed Scotland. Then
Murphy said:
Bill, give the guys information, an thin
gimme the money!
Il warned you not to bet said Fogarty
"AIy friend Murphy was born in New York;
but when he was only two years old his
parents took him back to Ireland and reared

TRICKS OF A SHIRKER

STRIKERS have from time to time in
vented many novel ways Of avoiding
their stipulated tasks; but it is doubtful
whether any other ever equaled the ingenu-
ity shown by night Waterman in Balti-
more building. This man, not taking kindly
to the system whereby he was required to 60
through the building at certain hours and
touch set of electric buttons, rugged up an
automatic arrangement on several of the
buttons so that they would report at the reg
ular time.
Soon the button system got so out of order
that the owners of the building abolished it.,
and pedometer was given to the Waterman,
which would register every step he took.
All went well for the first two nights; but on
the third morning the man was missing. He
was found sound asleep in the engine room,
and the pedometer was so attached to the
piston rod of the engine that with every
stroke it registered step. 1t had been trav-
cling all night. and when taken off it regis
tered two hundred and twelve miles.

WHAT ONE VOTE WILL DO

the second. He was admired, but never
popular.
ever took place in American politics was,
think, with reference to him. The first Legs
lature elected Senator Barton unanimously.
Then there was deadlock for about three
weeks on the other Senator; for the new
State, of course, was to elect two. The Leg
islature finally allowed Barton to select his
senatorial partner Barton picked Benton;
but the latter was so unpopular that it took
three weeks after Barton picked him to get
him elected. And in the end he was elected
by only one majority. This one vote was
that of a sick member who was carried in on
a stretcher to cast his vote and died half
an hour later.
THAT one vote launched Thomas H.
Benton on thirty years career in the
Senate. 1t was the speeches Benton made
in Missouri during the twenty years that
followed that kept Missouri from seeding
in 1861. If Missouri has seeded, Kentucky
would have done likewise. The South
would have won its independence and would
have been a f1ourishing nation today. So
the one vote by the man on the stretcher
cast in the Missouri Legislature, in my
KENTUCKY furnishes good example of
~ what one vote will do. Kentucky came
into the nation as a slave State by one vote
in the constitutional convention. Henry
Clay and old Humphrey Marshall fought a
duel about it and shot each other through
the calf of the leg. Missouri, before the be-
ginning of the Civil War, was nothing but
a Kentucky colony. If Kentucky had come
in free State, Missouri would have come in
as a free State, and, in my judgment, there
would never have been any Civil War to
harass the people Of the United States.
