MITC1TELI., 8. D., Dee. 23.-(8pecial.
Two week a ago a atory waa aent out from

weit preaa to tha effect of a disruption
in tha family relation between 8. Q.
Payna, sr., and that of Ma aun, 8. Q.
Payne, Jr., who resides on a farm near
Woonaocket, B. D. It was stated that the
young man Issued a check for money he
had In the bank to hla father, and that
when It waa presented the bank officials
called up tha wife and asked If It should
ba cashed, and aha refused, claiming; that
her husband waa weak mentally, and not
responsible for his acta. The story also
sjuted that Mrs. I'ayne, jr.. had her hus
band, taken before the board of Insanity
and that he waa declared Insane, but that
aha kept him at home rather than send
him to an asylum. Tha story went on
to aay that the boy's father insisted on
the money being paid over to him, and
when the bank officials declined that he
tnade quit;' ..rumpua.
, Mr. I'ayne. sr., waa In the city today
and was thoroughly Indignant at the way
in which ha had been treated. Ha atated
that the entire atory was absolutely un
true, that hla son had never Issued him a
check of iftqy denomination and that he
had never presented a check to the bank
signed by hla son, and further that no
bank officer called up Mra. Payne, Jr., and
asked any such question. The elder Payne
declares emphatically that hla son was
never adjudged insane, and that he was
npt ordered sent to the state asylum.
;lu reference to his son's lllneaa Mr.
Payne said that the young man has been
In poor health for aome time, and that a
few weeks ago he took hlin out to Cham
berlain and planed him in the sanitarium,
where he thought he would be helped.
Mr. Payne feela-that he has been deeply
Injured by the publication of the first
story, and ,stats . that the facts stated
can be vouched for by the bank officials
of Woonaocket. . He (a an old soldier and
has lived tn this section or me state ror

bill waa prepared, which had the sanction
of the governor and leading politicians,
for abolishing the present board and mak

having been very bad. The number of new
cases has been decreased and there have
not been many deaths, yet the local au
thorities have been unable definitely to
locate the trouble.

NEAR THE MILLIONTH PATENT
Activities of tmerlran Inventor H -
fleeted la the Patent Office
Itecnrd.
tn July the United States patent office
will at the present rate Issue Its one-mll-llonth
patent. July 31. 1790. the first patent
was laaued to Samuel Hopkins for a de
vice for making pearl and pot ashes. Since
then one patent haa been Issued for about
every 10 adult American men and women
who have lived or are now llv.na.
The patent office Is an inventlonal chain- I
ber of horrora. It la a arave of il ad hopes. J
It la tragedy and comedy; It stores and j
guards the valuable Ideas of men whose
brain children have been atolen by ruthlesa
capital, ami the crnxy concepts of crank a.
It Is no place for an optlm at.
Patents are largely Indicative of local
temperament; the "Inventive Yankee" Is
not hlmaetf an Invention. South Carolina
In ID'iK took out sixty-five patents: w th a
straller population. Connecticut, the home
of the wooden nutmeg, called for 76. Texas,
with many more pe pie than Massa h' setts.
gives the patent office only a quarter as
much work. Knti'ns, teeming with Ideas,
geta leas than one-tenth as many of them
patented as New ork. But Oklahoma
nearly equals Virginia. Western and south
ern Inventors turn rather to snot el and
political than to mechanical Invention.
..It Is rhtan and easy to get a patent.
but often dltflsult and expensive to fight
Infringement suits. That Is one reason
why Inventors so pften yield valuable Ideaa
to mere capitalists and, after benefiting
the world, die mlsersbly in garrets. It
has been claimed that the ease of obtain
ing patents has worked to the advantage
of the United States ss compared with
Europe, where the process Is much less
eaay, but the system Is not Ideal. New
York World.
POLITICIAN DIDN;T LIKE PIE
What Happened t Oklahoma Candl
date Who Slighted the tlrrat
Confection.
A girl of the Cherokee nation In the hills
of eastern Oklahoma baked a pie which has
since become famous. She carried It ten
derly to tha town of two buildings which
wears ths somewhat suggestive nam of
Need mora. In the achoolhouse a pi social
was being held. The high rating of the
pie social among society events Is too well
known to require elaboration, and this oc
casion was made what is called more aus
picious because of the presence of the Hon.
Charles E. Creoger, member of congress
and candidate for re-election. The pies and
auxiliary delicacies cooked by the Cherokee
girls were packed In boxes which were sold
at auction by a Mr. Burk, an orator. Each
buyer found In hla lunch box the name of a
partner for the aupper. Congressman
Creager bought a tor But he didn't know
the rulea. He fal'e- .j hunt up his partner;
he didn't like pie; he clipped outdoors when
he thought no one wi.s looking and tossjd
that disk of pastry and pumpkin over ti.e
fere. And he Innocently supposed that
his duty had been fulfilled when ne re
turned th empty plat to th address en
closed in the box. When Auctioneer Jum
heard of this Insult to ths l le an I its cook,
he denounced th Hon. Ct eager In public
with some of the oratory 'or wn:;n tha
rams of Burke is famous. Anl -vlien this
hsd been cone to a true pumpkin pi
brown. Mr. Burk elaborated the speech be
fore th county chairman, who tccaro ag
gi it ved at th auctioneer's choice of Eng
lish and remonstrated by fir inn two shots
at hlnj with a revolver. It c Mineqiianc,
th story of ths pis that miiu I I s dos
tlny became a burning Iss is as wil as an
Insult to a proud and ancient nation. Elec
tion Is over. Returns, fairly accuiala
