Noah Under Suspicion. I
The last copy of the Ararat Journal, '
published three days before the flood,
haa recently been excavated from the
top drawer of an oriental magnate's
desk. J
It says editorially:
"The radical utterances of old man
Noah are to be strongly deprecated by
all conservative citizens. Especially
do we deplore his unwarranted attacks
on the sin trust and Its worthy board (
of directors.
"Aside from the fact that these gentlemen
stand very high In the comma- I
nlty. such wild denunciation and pre- c
dictions of our people listened to last .
evening are likely to produce an onsettied
conditions of affairs and damage t
business. \
"It Is generally believed that his mo- .
tire* ore not abort suspicion, in raci,
those who are well Inforrfted hint that (
the old man has some watered and on- t
digested stock of hie own which he
expects to float as soon as the sin trust
la swamped.**?Puck. I
Gentle Persuasion.
Many stories are told of the eecentrle '
doings and sayings of an old clergyman J
who Ured In Maine aome years ago. j
At one time there bed been e fight
among aome men, one of whom was 4
seriously hurt A trial took piece, and i
the old minister, who had seen the af- j
fray, waa summoned as a witness.
"What was Balson doingf* was the
first question. 1
"Oh, be was slashing around.** \
"Well, sir, just what do you mean by
that?"
"Why. be was knocking about him'
here and there.** <
"Now, air, kindly tell as plainly what
8elson did to this man."
"Why, be?be enticed him,** said the j
old minister slowly. ?
"Enticed him! How?"
"He enticed him with e crowbar. Ha 1
used the crowbar to persuade the man 1
?to entice him?and by a aeries of <
pokes and blows be succeeded In dotng
it," said the minister mildly.?Youth's
Companion.
Mother Had the Falling Too.
The visitor had dropped In "Just for
a minute," but she remained about
three hours after the minute was up.
Little Freddie had formed seroral
plana, the execution of which moat be
postponed till the departure of his
mother's guest 8o he sat quietly
thinking things.
"Dear little man!" gushed the rial tor.
"And what Is be thinking about so
deeply?"
"I was wondering If it wasn't time
for you to be going," said Freddie.
"Hush!" said bis mother. Then, turning
to her guest: "You mustn't be offended,
Mrs. Smith. Children will go
blurting out the truth without thinking.
Bat they don't mean anything by
It"
Strangely enough. It waa just then
that Mrs. Smith recollected that the
had only three minutes In which to
oatch the last car home.?London Telegraph.^

ThJk trick Is, of coarse, vary Ilka the

Nised After Wir Secretary.
Georgetown, September 9:? v
Under the caption of "Taft in Elclipse,"
the News and Courier of
the 6th inst. copied the following
interesting story from the Charlotte
Observer:
"Mr Redfern, the tobacco man, %
is responsible for the following story
of political zeal: *
"A station between Georgetown
and Lane's" he said, "has al- ? '.i
ways borne the name of *TafL'
Nobody thought anything of it until
Sflcretarv Taft mounted udott
his presidential boom. Then, how*
ever, the devotees of Bryan (who
are the whole population) beelttl
indignant at the name of their sta-.
tion and they nailed a sign over,
'Taft' that proclaimed the place ai
'Bryan.' Train orders are still
dated from 'Taft' and mail addressed
to that name, and freight
and express shipped there; but the
rubber-neck passenger, straining
from his window to see all in sight,
reads that he is arriving at 'Bryan.'"
It is too bad to spoil such a pretty
political plot, founded, as it undoubtedly
is, on strong circumstantial
evidence, and embellished by the
charm of imagination, bat in justice
to the population of MTaft" and.
for the peace of mind of the Secretary
of that name, it must be done.
Like many another "conviction"
on the basis of circumstantial evi.
idence a remarkable coincidence is
nKink a fan wrtrrla nf at.
Ill V V/I ' VV4 RUIVU ? *wn nv4%M v* "
planation will serve to clear up.
The now famous station OH the
Georgetown aud Western Railroad
called "Taft" was named in honor
;>f a gentleman who lives in Boston,
Mass. This gentleman is a stockbolder
in the big Atlantic Coast
Lumber corpora'ion and also in the
railroad company.
The big sign of "Bryan," which
the Observer's man saw, stands for
Mr W D Bryan, the largest laud- >
jwneraud cotton planter in the
raft neighborhood. In otner words
Mr Bryan' is the whole thing at
raft. * For that reason an admiring
ionstituency is really anxious to supplant
the name of Taft with that of
Bryan at the railroad station. But
their zeal has not yet reached the
(varmth described se vividly by 'the
jorrespondent, even in the cause of
the non-political Mr Bryan. The
people are too busy just now mark
;ting the biggest cotton crop Mr W
D Bryan ever grew to give the matter
much thought.
That is the true status of affairs
it "Taft." The fair reputation of
;he good people of Taft have been
preserved, albeit at the expense of a
500d story of "political zeal."
Let the Observer's reporter.remember
that there are other Tafts and
Bryans besides W A and W J, and
;hat the Bryan people at Tafc are
lealing in more remunerative comnoditie8
than politics.?News and
