PAID IN HIS OWN COIN


In the days of the country inn and
when travelling overland was done on
horseback or in carriages, the &c
centric John Randolph of Roanoke
was passing over road that was
new to him. He stopped at an inn for
dinner. The meal being over, the
driver hitched in his team and was
ready to resume the journey, when
the innkeeper, doubtless with the
best intentions, inquired of Randolph
where he was going.
1--WE paid my bill and it's none of
your business" gruffly answered the
traveller.
About half a mile from the inn
Randolph found that the road forked.
He, of course, did not know which
end to take, so he sent the driver
back to inquire of the innkeeper.
"You can tell Mr.. Randolph that
he has paid his bill and that he can
take whichever way he chooses" re-
turned the innkeeper.-Holland's
Magazine.

WHERE The PLAN FAILED
A white man, walking along a road
where an old colored man was white
washing a fence, noticed that the
brush he was using contained very
few bristles.
Look here, Rastus," exclaimed
the man, why don't you get brush
with more bristles in it?'
What fo', Mistah Smith, what TO-?
returned Rastus.
What for?" replied Mr.. Smith.
why, if you had brush with more
bristles in il you could do twice as
much work"
Oats all right, Mistah Smith,"
said Rastus, ''but 1 hain't got twice
as much work to do"

Little Johnny on the Duck.

The duck is low heavy-set bird and
mighty poor singer, having coarse
voice caused by getting so many frogs
in his throat he likes the water and
carries toy balloon in his stomach to
keep from sinking the duck has only
two legs and they are set so far back
that they come pretty near missing
his body some ducks when they get old
are called brakes and don't have to set
or hatch but just loaf and go swim
ming and eat everything in sight if
were to be duck would rather be

side to side. If you scare them they
will flap their wings and try to make a
pass at singing.-From the Carrollton

LANDS BASS WITH SAFETY PIN
Boy Brings in Three Three.Pounders
With Which to Prove
His Story.

Little Arne Olson, cowherd in Itas-
ca park, who catches big black bass
with such a seemingly impossible de-
vice as the much-maligned safety pin,
may have revealed a mechanical prin-
ciple that will revolutionize the gen.
tie art of angling. Arne does catch
bass with safety pins. This fact is
vouched for by William T. Cox, state
forester, who heard the tale direct
from the forest service men in Itasca
park, an exchange states.
One evening Arne brought home
three fine bass weighing in the neigh
borhood of three pounds each. To the
repeated demands to explain how he
had made the capture he said that
he had caught them with safety pin.
Everybody laughed.
He explained that when he clam.
bered out over the lake on a fallen
tree his spol ling blood was fired by
the sight of number of big bass loll-
ing in the shade. He had a piece Of
fishing line in his pocket, but no hooks
or bait. Then there came an inspira-
ton.
Plucking safety pin from his
trousers, he fastened it to the line.
The tail of a crawfish made a pre-
sentable bait.
Three times he heaved the impro-
vised lure into the semidarkness of
the pool and three times he brought
out bass. Not one got away.
Arne is quite sure that the tricky
pin snapped itself shut when a bass
struck, but each one was securely
hooked, and all the fisherfolk can &C
count for the lads success in no 9TH
er way.

Senators Stone and Reed, Speaker
Champ Clark, James T. Lloyd, W

fearless Democrats from Missouri
have done good work and are better
able to do good service for the
country at this critical time than
any new man would be. These
offices we're created for the good of
the country not for the individuals
who MAY hold them. This being
true the Democrats of Missouri can
do no better than to re-elect the
old Congressman. Do not do this
as a reward for past good service,
but because it will be best for the
country and will also strengthen
the Democratic ticket in Missouri.

THROWS ITS LIGHT AFFAIR
Searchlieht Placed on colIapsibIe
Tower Worked by Man S1oo
Yards Away.

The searchlights now used at the
front are not only extremely powerful
but they are mounted on swift motor
cars, so that they can be moved to
any desired point at night as quick
ly as possible, Pearson's Weekly says.
These searchlights, too, are mount
ed on portable collapsible towers
which can be run up a height of 80
feet or so very quickly. The light is,
as rule, worked by an observer who
is at least hundred yards away from
it, so that he Is pretty safe from be-
ing hit by the rain of shells which
are always turned on to these lights
by the enemy.
The towers are run up by means
of compressed air carried In cylin-
ders on motor cars, which also carry
the electrical apparatus for working
the light. All the movements, verti-
cal as we'll as horizontal, are controlled
by long cable.
These searchlights, which are
much more powerful than those used
in any other war, will pick up a Yep
pelin, no matter what height it has
risen to. They carry, indeed, to a
distance of six miles, though for
picking out soldiers the nearer the
better, not only because they show
them up more clearly, but because the
light dazzles the eyes and throws the
men into confusion.
