THE RIGHT ARTICLE
By Humphrey Daniel Howell

TGOT into Lexington, Virginia, about mid
night, and the next train for Staunton,
my real destination, left at three A. NJ. Or
dirarily | should have sat around and
smoked until traintime; but this night
was suffering from severe headache and
needed rest. So | sought out the little
hotel near the station, awoke the sleepy pro-
prietor. and paid him fifty cents for the use
of one of his rooms for three hours.
Billy Wise, my most feared competitor
for fire extinguisher business in Virginia,
was with me; but he chose to sit on the
front porch until the whistle blew. Billy
was rated the best salesman with his COM
pany, and | had already reconciled myself
to small share of the business to be done
in Virginia. That very morning | had re-
ceived letter from headquarters, urging
me to get into StauntOn ahead OF Billy, as
it was understood that the military academy
there was in the market for at least hun
dred extinguishers.
In view of this prospect, l was deter
mined not to fall asleep; so | left the cleo
trio light burning, and wrapped a damp
towel about the globe to subdue the light.
For some reason the globe burst, the towel
became ablaze, and at about two o'clock
was awakened from my careless nap by loud
knocking on the door. The fire had already
eaten into the light wood OF the ceiling.

THE LETTER THAT DID 1T

7 HAD been doing Office work for large

years, and decided to try my luck on the
road. | first chose the retail coffee business,
selling from house to house. 1t was alto
gether new experience to me.
The first day, armed with a premium
preserving kettle, started out. Beginning
in my home town, | felt rather tirnid and
ashamed. The first house | tackled the spiel
that was intended to be delivered was for
gotten, and no sale made. The next house
meant a rundown, and at the third | had
the chagrin of having the door closed on me.
That settled me for that day.

ATTORNEY ACCUSED
OF FORCING NAME
McALESTER ATTORNEY CHARG-
ED WITH FORGING JUDGE
LlEDTkE'S NAME TO PAPER.

McAlester, Okla, March 4.-Tohl
Taylor, an attorney and a member
of the McAiester bar, was arrested
here Tuesday on a charge of having
forged Judge W. c. Liedtke's name
TO a bogus decree of divorce. The
case is out of the ordinary.
Hiram p. Orr. employed Taylor
as a lawyer to obtain a divorce. It.
is alleged that Taylor presented Mr..
Orr with a copy of a decree of di-
vorce purportinS to have been signed
by W. c. Liedtke, judge Of the SUI
perior court. Later, Mr.. Orr pro-
ceeGed to get married again. Some
time after the second marriage it
was discovered that no such divorce
case as H. p. Orr VS.. Alice Orr"
on the records of the court
and that no divorce had ever been
granted to Mr.. Orr.
1t is alleged by the officers that
Taylor received s35 from Mr.. Orr
as his fee for procuring the divorce.
Taylor made bond in the sum Of
81, 900 and said that he would fight
the case, as there was nothing to it.

And the Wind Blew on His Head.

A certain merchant of this city
whose hair is noticeable for its abb
sence and who is rather sensitive on
the score of bald headedness took in
one OF the Main street picture shows
a few nights ago. He was accompan-
led by his wife. The night in ques-
ton was a rather chilly one, in fact
it was just such a night as the plum
bers like-one of those nights when
the frost kisses the pumpkin and the
north wind flirts with the low degrees
of the thermometer. After leaving
the show the gentleman buttoned up
his coat and remarked to his wife
that he thought very little of the
ground hog. After walking about a
block he said that II it were not so
late in the season he would send to
a mail order house away up north
somewhere, and get fur cap, adding
that his head was very cold. His
wife gave him one look and advised
him to return to the theatre and get
his hat which ne had left peacefully
resting beneath his chair.

Call for Conference with Wilson.

Washington, d. c., March 5.-In the
first statement he has issued from
the white house, since he became
president, Wilson announced that he
would decline to see applicants for
office in person, except those he in
yited.
The statement directs that the o.
lice seekers must address them
eelves to the heads of the depart
ments, unless the president sent for
them.
Charles r. Crane of Chicago, who
was vice chairman of the finance
committee of the Wilson campaign,
was the first to have an appoint
lent with the new president. He
called, he said, merely to pay his
respects. 1t is considered probable
that Crane will become ambassador
to Russia.
The members of the new cabinet
arrived while Wilson was talking
with Crane. w. j. Bryan was soop
the center of the group.
Wilson announced definitely today
that an Enthusiastically will be Of
fered to Chairman McCombs. 1t is
known that France is referred to. 1t
is said that Richard Olney will 60

Wilson had as guests to lunch to-
day the WOODROW branch of his fam
lily, cousins on his mothers side,
while for dinner he expected his IA

county court issued an order taking
from their mother the Kirby children
and turning them over to the custody
of a special probation officer. Yes
terday a man who is an acquaintance
of the children went to the lady into
whose care the children had been
entrusted and demanded that he be

lady complained to the prosecuting
nt0rney wio swore out warrant
against the man charging him With
contempt of court in not respecting
the courts mandate. He was lodged
in Jail and brought into the county
court this morning for trial. A jury
was empaneled and after listening to
all of the evidence in the case re-
turned a verdict of not guilty. He
was told, however by the judge that.

Preached Economy, But

The stroke of the axe of the coun-
ty commissioners which cut off the
heads of all the deputies in the con-
stable line in this county yesterday
afternoon, in compliance with the new
law. struck one appointing constable
a pretty severe blow. Inasmuch as
this constable belongs to the class
who are ever bowling of reform and
retrenchment in the matter of state
and county governments, and for the
further reason that his deputies be-
long to the same class, the blow was
a hard one and the pill which ac-
companied it very bitter.
Last fall when the people got ready
to vote out in the Fox district X. +.
Buffers name confronted them as a
candidate for the office of constable
of Graham township. Mr.. Butler was
land isl a socialist. He preached So
ciaistic doctrines from the stump and
told the farmers of his neighborhood
that unless he were elected the coun-
ty of Carter would go to the bow
vows and sink into eternal ----na-
tion. We must have good, clean pol
itics, the gentleman said. He also
said that the socialists were the rep
resentatives of the eternal salvation
of his section OF God Almighty's uni
verse. Vote HIM into the office of
constable and he would at once put
on a demonstration stunt Of saving
money that would show up all the
democratic and republican officials of
lers, robbers, grafters and political
corruptionists. Well; the good people,
aided by others not so good, elected
the gentleman. But as soon as he
assumed the dignities of his office
he forgot the common people who
had elected him-forgot the cause OF
economy, of retrenchment and re-
form. "To the victor belongs the
spoils" this gentleman thought, and
forthwith he appointed and placed up
on the payroll of the taxpayers of
Graham township five good, tried,
true and worthy socialists as depu-
ties. Now it is said that during the
busy season iE judicial circles in
Graham township there is work
enough to keep one able-bodied con-
stable at work for forty-five minutes
one day out of every week. Under
the traditions Of socialism this was
too strenuous for one poor member
of the faith-hence the appointment
of five able-bodied, leather -lunged
helpers on the part of the constable
to help him bear the hard labor con-
nected with the office to which he
had been elected
