Wilson Going to Bermuda.

Princeton, N. J.-President-elect
Woodrow Wilson turned away an av,
alanche of kilograms and messages
of congratulation the day after the
election and went off for a brisk
walk. For five miles he walked,
swinging heavy black cane, which
came to grief on the Tourth mile,
when Capt. "Bill' Mcdonald, Texas
ranger and bodyguard, tried to kill
rattlesnake.
The governor spied the snake curl
ing through the leaves and pointed it
out to the captain, who borrowed the
governors cane mad killed it, but in
doing so broke the cane.
The governors walk exhilarated
him, he said. The strain of the cam.
paign and the excitement of election
day had kept him pretty much in
doors of late. 1t was with a long
stride and vigorous swing that he
set out from his home and out
through the university campus to
the wooded stretches of country to
the south of Princeton. AS he pass,
ed through the campus, students
dotted their caps as they did of old
for him and do yet to members OF
the faculty, one of the time-honored
customs of the university.

in the empty grandstand three of the
football coaches came over to con
graduate him. They were Ross Nc
Clave, Beef Wheeler and Joe Poe
famous Princeton stars of years ago
AS Governor Wilson sauntered into
open country he seemed for the first
time to relax from the strain of the
campaign. Obviously he was happy.
He swished his way through the sea
of autumn-tinted leaves. He tested
with the correspondents and moved
along merrily as if it were the hap
piest day of his life.
Professors and their wives waylaid
him as he turned his steps through
the town and congratulated him.
Many little children came running to
meet him. He stopped and shook
hands with the little folks as well
as their elders.
1t was shutdown when he reached
his home. There he received the
correspondents in his study. I'm
afraid there is not going to much
news nowadays" he said, but one of
the reporters remarked that some
newspapers already were publishing
the probable personnel Of his cabi-
net.
Then l guess l had better not
read the newspapers" he said laugh
ingly, 80 as not to prejudice my
mind" He was asked if he had any
further statement to make about his
election.
I'm done with statements" he
said with a smile. Nov, I'm going

for $500 a Month.

Asheville, N. C.-Placing a much
higher value on his services than any
one else, Mrs. P. H. Trash hired her
husband from the board Of county
commissioners for one month for
$500, strictly cash in advance.

well connected, had been found guilty
Of keeping liquor to sell to retailers
in his prohibition section and sen
fenced by Judge Long in superior
court to pay a fine Of $4,000, costs
amounting to s4OO, and to be impris-
oned in Jail thirty days; but upon
the fearful petition of the wife the
Judge stipulated that If the county
commissioners chose to do 40 they
might hire the defendant for his
term to the highest bidder, but not
Less than $500.
The board decided to take the
money and in default of other bids
the defendant was struck off to the
wife for $500, which she promptly
paid
