Champion Mean Man.

Ashley Tribune: Sam Hovey return
ed from Minnesota last Saturday with
limp and a badly shattered faith in
the brotherhood of manor, rather,
what in one instance passes for a man.
MT. Hovey wasn't joy-riding exactly,
ne was only trying to travel the dis
lance of 800 miles between his new
minnesota home and Mcintosh county
IN the least possible space Of time last
thursday, when, about three miles this
side OF Lisbon, his auto struck a rough
spot in the road and quickly landed
bottom side up, Mr.. Hovey's legs were
pinned between the windshield and the
ground. He managed to free one of
them but the other stuck. In this
condition he was found by a fellow
with horse and buggy. Whatever it
was that drove the horse and made use
OF the human voice, paused long enough
to learn, upon inquiry, that Mr.. Hovey
d1d not think he was injured particu-
larly, but that he was unable to free
himself from the weight of the ma
chine, and then drove on, the prisoner
supposed, to tie his horse. And that
was the last that Mr. Hovey saw of
the monstrosity. Fully an hour later
a real human being came along and
helped Sam out of his predicament.
The tip-oyer caused days delay and
OF course MIR. Hovey greatly regrets
that he was unable to learn the name
OF the creature who passed by on the
other siden :E' -EE

What Clarence Did.

Dallas Dispatch: Clarence Eddy
world famous organist, sat down last
night before the great pipe organ IN
the Scottish Rite cathedral and. SEEM
ingly oblivious to the presence of his
audience, leaned forward and caressed
the mighty instrument.
Dimly, as from far away, came the
dulcet strains, rising and falling as IL
borne from the distance on the wind.
AS the player fondled the organ he
coaXed from it a response that grew
louder and stronger until the food Of
melody rose and fell in rhythmic ca
dences like the pulsing of some vast
sea Of harmony and filled the hall with
music of exquisiteness indescribable.
Swirling, eddying, in ebb and tide the
cadences washed the shores of the
hearers souls in a mighty deluge of
harmony, only to recede again and die
away, to the murmur of zephyr
through moonbeamS, grew again to the
roar Of wind through the forests, rock
ing with thunderous tones the very
cathedral itself. 1t was the soul of
music, and If ever Clarence Eddy
poured out his spirit in. the organ it
was last night, when with a shading
so exquisite that it held the audience
in the hypnotic grasp of melody, 1lS
gave himself up to the instrument lla
was dedicating to it's mission aE
music. ,......- .t..........
