HE RODE. ~ ' A Little Mistake of the Man Who Ran the Senate Elevator. IT'S always the rule that when the little buzzer in the private elevator on the senate side of the capitol?that is reserved for senators, members of their families and news* paper correspondents ? buzzes three times in Quick succession the elevator -conductor shall realize that a senator Tvants a ride and must have it quickly. The senator has the right of way to fhe floor he desires to reach and take? precedence over all other passengers. Should the elevator be upfc/vnn*? Karrtnd C?Wnn f? Rftrtr UVUUU, brvj vuu kk>v wvuuu rand the first floor button is pressed three times by senatorial fingers the conductor stor>^ his car forthwith and goes down t answer the mystic signal regardless of whether there are a dozen people aboard who want to reach the gallery floor in haste. The elevator men are furthermore under orders to pass up any outsider who * avails himself of the seaatorial ring. A senate elevator was going up the other day and had passed the second floor when the senatorial signal came ^ from the subway floor. The conducF tor reversed the controller and shot the lift basementward. Standing at the subway door was a stranger, bewhiskered and wearing a broad rimmed hat The elevator man refused to take the prospective passenger aboard. Three buzzes came again * from the cellar. The elevator darted down again and started up in a moment. This happened three times, when the elevator conductor paid. a hurried visit to the basement and ad vised the man at the buzzer that so long as he persisted in ringing three times in rapid succession he couldn't ride. "I'll advise you to cut that comedy,1" the elevator man slid to the man in the sombrero. "This elevator is for senators, members of their families and the newspaper men, You're not a senator, you don't look like you belonged to a congressman's family, and I know by your makeup you aren't a reporter. Unless yon have special busi> ness with some one connected with the senate you had better beat it over to one of the other lifts. Anyhow, cut out those three rings. I don't want to tell you about it again." v "I am Senator Fall of New Mexico," explained the stranger. "I was sworn is yesterday, and I guess I'll ride with yon."

The Company She Kept. A Boston couple, of middle age and kind hearts, spent their vacation near Augusta, Ga., and during their \isit took a great fancy to an old colored woman. When they left Augusta they invited her to pay them a visit, which she accepted with the understanding that they were to pay her expenses. Having arrived in Boston she was given a room in the house of the white folks and was invited to have her meals at the same table with her host and hnstftflii. "Mrs. Jones," said ths hostess, "you were a slayei; weren't you?" Mrs. Jones replied that such had been her condition of servitude. "I suppose your master never invited you to eat at hie table" hazarded the Boston woman. "No, honey, dat he didn't," replied Mrs. Jones. "My master was a gentleman. He ain't never let no niggers set at the table 'longtide of him."? The Popular Magazine. Pay Up Please.

Thursday probably the first four horse , load of couutry raised Irish potatoes 1 ever sold here. He disposed of them . easily and could sell several hundred bushels at a fair price, He sold his potatoes to the grocers. , . Mr. Miller planted abont an acre of Irish Cobbler potatoes, and will sell at least; 150 bushels, besides what he keeps for his own use. The total yield will be something oyer 200 bushels. But that is not all of the story. He j has com planted in the middled of the potato rows that is now kneo high, four inches apart, in the best of condi- 1 tion, and he is going to try for a rec- 1 ord yield. Mr. Miller says he is going 4 to try to clear $250 on that acre; and ] if his corn turns out well he is likely * to do so. Ths total expenses including the remainder of the work of cultivating the corn, will be in the neighbor- 1 hood of foO. In this connection it might be stated that Irish potatoes are beini* ship- ( ped to this market in large quantities, } and the price is high for this season of } the year. If more farmers nad had t Mr. Miller's foresight they could have made a nice sum of money besides ^ keeping at home the money that is be- ^ ing sent away for this important arti- , cle of food. ! , You don't buy land by the descrip- ] tion?you look at the land.

Deadly Family Quarrel. Sister Shoots Her Sister After Her Father's Death. Crouching behind the bodies of her father and brother, who had falle* victims in a family feud. Miss Georgia Sharp, of Sherman, Tex., fought! a close range shotgun battle with her brother-in-law, Henry Waldrop, in th? yard of his home, and after wounding her own sister and slaying her nephew, wa9 killed by a shot from Waldrop'a weapon. Miss Sharps a moment before being killed, had sent a charge of buckshot into Waldrop'a shonlder. Thinking victory hers, she leaped toward him when he brought his gna to aim, and pnlled the trigger, tha charge striking her in the face. Money owed to Waldrop by his father-in-law for clearing away timber caused the feud between the fcw? families, and the fatal quarrel started when a young son of Waldrop's taunted L. W.
