DISAPPOINTED AN EDITOR.
How an Oballnate Colored Mu Hot tb
Heat of White Folk.
I sat talking 'with the editor of a
Southern weekly paper, when a tele
gram was -hamletl him. and after he
had read it he handed it to me. It
was from a town seven miles away,
ami rca.l: "We have eaught the nig
ger; he lianas to-ni;;ht. Boys will
wait for you to conn over."
"You "see," explained thu editor,
"tJn-v l:a- got llni ni"r who shot at
Col. ' Duiihar over in Cassville, ami
t!i -y won't wait t take the law on
liini. I reekon I'll have to go over,
and I'd like to have you go along."
I was agreed, and a horse and lug
gv were brought around and we set
lint. When we reached the town it
was ahout y o'clock in the evening,and
the prisoner was being guarded in a
vacant room. There were about seventy-Jive
excited citizens around the
place, and a noosed rope had already
been thrown over the limb of a shade
tree near by. We were duly welcom
ed, and were accorded the privilege
of an interview with the prisoner. We
found him iu a somewhat anxious
frame of mind, but cool enough to an
swer all questions.
"Now, then," began the editor, as he
pulled out his note-book, "what name
do you go by, aud what part of the
country do you hail from?"
"Look, heah," replied the man, "Joan1
yo' folks make no mistake about dis!
I'ze not de pusson yo' want. I nebber
dun shot at nobody. My name am
Peter White, an Tze'dun libed in Glen
dale ober ten y'ars. Eberybody ober
dar knows me."
"Have you made any mistake?" ask
ed the editor of the constable.
"Why, I reckon not. They fotehed
him in and said he was the nigger we
wanted. Can't be no mistake, of
co'se."
"Yo' jest send to Mars James, Mars
Taylor, Mars Thompson or anybody
else ober dar, an1 dey'll tell yo1 all
about me," protested the man.
"Do you deny shooting at Col. Dun
bar?" "Of co'se, I does. I didn't eben h'ar
about it. I was huntin' hogs in de
woods fur Mars John Greenfield when
dey cotched me. Doan' you dun make
no mistake!"
Ten minutes later all were fairly sat
isfied that a mistake had been made.
Then a Glendalo man arrived and set
tled the matter. They had got the
wrong man.
"Look here, boy," said the editor,
when the truth came out, "I've driven
seven miles to see you lynched."
"Yes sah, but I can't help it."
"These men spent all day to get you,
and the rope is all ready."
"I know it, but I'ze innocent."
"Haven't you ever killed a man,
stolen a mule or fired a gun? Come,
now. own up like a man."
"Nebber, sah," " firmly replied the
prisoner.
"Can't you remember of ever doing
anvthing for which von ought to be
hung?" softly inquired the editor.
"No sah, I can't."
"This, you must know, is a great
disappointment to me and my menu
here. We shall have our drive of
fourteen miles for nothing, and I was
intending to make at least two col
umns of the affair. It seems too
bad."
"Ye., sah. but I nebber dun it."
"And you protest agaiust being
hung?"
"I does, sah."
"You must have at least done some
thing for which you ought to be
switehed stolen cotton, run off a hog,
or something of that sort?"
"No, sah; I nebber did."
"It's a drive of fourteeen miles, you
know, and the roads are bad."
"Yes, sah; but you'll hev to 'scuse
me dis time."
"Well." said the editor, as we got up
to go, "1 m sorry things have turned
out this way, but I can t see that any
body is to blame."
We got into the buggy and started
back. We had gone a mile or so be
fore the silence was broken. Then the
editor said:
"That just shows you how infernal
ly obstinate a nigger can be when he
makes up his mind to it and wants
to get the better of a white man."

THE KODAK AND THE FAKIR.
How Some CliiciiKO Men I'sid 20 Itupees to
Take Pictures of a Hindoo's Trick.
"I have a good story that involves
two Chicago tourists who at one time
were given to traveling in the orient
and taking kodak pictures of objects of
interest," remarked John Wrightwood
at the Palmer house, says the Chicago
News. Mr. Wrightwood is a salesman
for an Knglish house.
"The story was told by the victim in
a hotel in Calcutta. It seems that
they wanted to take some views of the
tricks performed by the Hindoo con
jurer and had gone to a small village
famed for its first-class crop of fakirs.
A conjurer of great renown was ob
tained to 'sit for views.'' He remark
ed that for 20 rupees he would take
the amateur photographers to the cen
ter of a clearing and give exhibitions
of his art. Thej- could take all of the
pictures they wanted to.
"Accordingly they repaired to the
lawn and Mr. Hindoo took a ball of
twine from his robe, and. with an ex
clamation in his native tongue, he
hurled the ball upward, high, high up,
in fact the two Chicago men thought
they saw it disappear in the clouds.
The end of the string remained on the
ground. 'Now. cried the fakir, 'watch
carefully. I'll give you something to
make pictures of.' And picking up
his blanket, that he had previously
thrown upon the grass, he exposed a
little chubby baby boy, who laughed
and clapped his hands. Flash went
the kodaks. Then the conjurer caught
up the child and placed him upon the
string. The baby clutched the fin
rope and legan to ascend. Again the
kodaks. Up the sprite went, looking
like a Philadelphia Cupid. In the
course of a few miuutes the boy slid
down until he reached a point about
five feet from the ground. Again the
kodak. With a dexterous swing of his
arm the fakir hurled the baby beneath
the blanket, drew down the heavenly
ladder. laiyuei and all wm over.
Picking up his blanket he "waved It in
the breeze and folding it up asked the
, party to return to the town.
"What a mine of wealth these men
' thought they had in those negatives.
Neither cared to compare notes on
their astonishment.
"But when they como to develop
those negatives they were surprised to
find that no trace of the rope, baby or
blanket showed up.
. "'Thunderation! Why didn't we
j catch a negative?' one of the men cried.
'It must have been a supernatural ar
rangement,' ventured the other.
; "No amount of 'developing1 could
make a pictcre of the strange scenes
they hail seen. Then they agreed that
I the fakir had hypnotized them and had
cleverly mulcted them out ,of 2'J ru
pees. However, I'll warrant vuu thev
are still cirreling their brains over
the way the fakir had so successfully
deceived them."
A Keap-Year Idyl.
"Be mine," she cried dramatically,
as she sank on one knee before him.
"I have long loved you, and now I can
resist no longer I must know my
fate. Sweet creature, say the word
that will make me tji happiest of wo
men." "I don't want to be married," he an
swered, coyly; "Ma say s 1 m too young
and couldn't take care of a wife. Take
some one of your own size. Let go of
me. I don't want to be kissed."
"O, you great big ninny." she said,
banging the furniture. "I was only
rehearsing for a leap-year party. I
wouldn't have you if you were worth
your weight in gold." And she
bounced oil in a huff. Detroit Free

AN INDIARUBBER NAVY.
The Ex-Aulitor of Indinnn Think Iron
clitdd Must Give Way to Kubber.
As the man was going out of the big
hotel he whispered to me in sepulchral
tones, "Col. Kice is not right in his
upper story he is clean daft."
In a few minutes I saw the full
moon, jocund face of Col. James II.
Kice, ex-auditor of Indiana, coming
from the elevator. He looked per
fectly sane, and I asked him who his
friend was that had just departed.
"That man," said the colonel, "is a
promoter and has not given me a mo
ment's rest since I arrived in the city.
I've just let him in on the ground floor
of an idea of mine and nave shown
him illustrations of it. I offered to
have him elected vice president of a
company that is not formed. If my
idea is put into" execution it will revo
lutionize naval warfare, and an iron
clad will be as harmless as a barge
carrying a load of Sunday school ex
cursionists." The colonel invited me to his room,
where I saw a number of illustrations
in the rough of queer looking ships. I
asked him to explain them. His eyes
beamed with pleasure as he proceeded
to elucidate his ideas. "The cuts," he
said, "represent war vessels armored
with tousrh indiarubber. Each vessel
is protected with rubber seven feet in
thickness and with enough jrive or
elasticity to it to send the largest ball
ever fired against it bounding back in
to the water. I admit that the com
mon rubber is not of sufficient tough'
ness to resist the impact of the ordi
nary cannon ball, but mind you the
rubber 1 intend to use is not common.
Every man who makes an innovation
and relegates established methods to
the past is in the beginning considered
a crank. But I do not mind any little
epithet of that kind."
"What is the tall spire in the ves
sels.''"
"That," said the scientific colonel,
"is the lookout. It is a tower that can
be telescoped in a second to the surface
of the vessel's deck and erected in the
same space of time. It is 800 feet
high. There is only one smokestack
and it can be taken down in a minute.
Cannons? Ah! that is a secret, but I
shall tell you because you are not a
promoter. In the rear of the vessel
there is a turret tower with four de
structive guns. You don't see it, eh?
Well, neither do I, but if the enemy
appeared by manipulating machinery
there would rise from the hull of the
vessel a turret, protected by indiarub
ber and ready to sink a fleet of iron
clads. Everything on the deck of my
indiarubber vessel can be dropped be
low in a few moments."
"Have you ever studied that branch
of mathematics which treats of trajec
tory?" The colonel had. and added: "My
boy, a ball dropped on the deck of one
of my vessels would bound a mile
high. There is absolutely no powder
or force strong enough to drive a ball
into the rubber."
"One more question, colonel. How
long have you had this peculiar elastic
idea?"
"It came to me as an inspiration five
years ago. I was in Chicago and a
weazened faced man with a volee that
sounded like the noise made, bv 1. Ur
ing calico made life miserable to me.
He had a scheme and for a week he
became my shadow, trying to get me
to go into it. I worked out the india
rubber vessel and for three hours I
earnestly explained to him the fortune
in it if he would accept the vice presi
dency. From that time he has never
said 'scheme' to me again. I have
shown it to dozens of promoters and
have talked so much about it that I
really think some kind of rubber can
be made to resist and throw back can
non balls."
"Have you mentioned your idea to
Gen. Tracy, secretary of the navy?"'
"I am a democrat," said the colonel,
proudly. "You wait until a democratic
president is elected."
