FOOLED HIM WITH Ml ECHO.. How Sportive Booth Cnrnllnn Vlllnccrt 1 1 ml Fun Willi n Drummer. "Tho meanest trick that was ever plrvyed on me," said a St. Louis drum mer who wns trying to boom a conver sation with a Herald man in tho smok ing cubby of n sleeper, "wns by nn echo. In n South Carolina town. The llttlo town is on the side of tho hill nnd Is as sleepy and uninteresting a place as ono will find In a year's journey. I got into the town on one boiling hot day Iu Au gust nbout ono o'clock and proceeded to. rustle nround to get through business, and skip out; ' "Tho town was so Infernnlly lazy looking that I didn't have much confi dence In my ability to get business. At the post ofllco corner an aged und de crepit gray mule, with flapping cars and solemn meln, presided over tho meeting of whlttlcrs who wero In scssiorv under tho big nycninoro tree. I ac costed ono of tho group to find out where Josh Wilklns, tho lending store keeper, might bo found, and learned that ho was 'tending a buAylng over In Catnip Holler.' Just us I was about, to move away I heard ninulllcdery of "'Help! help!' "Tho whlttlers paid no attention, anil tho gray mule was giving all his tlmo to a fly on tho end of his nose. "Again I heard tho distant muffled ery of 'help! help!' " 'It's n darned shnmo nbout that poor nigger,' remarked ono of tho whlttlers. "'What's tho matter with tho nig ger,' I asked, tit the sumo tlmo looking suspiciously at tho wooden-grated man hole of tho sower on thu corner. " 'Well.you scc.it's this way stranger, Hill Sturku' bull pup crawled up tho sewer from thu crick and got fast, nnd when tho nigger crawled up after him he got fast, too.' "'Great heavens! Why aren't you digging for him? The poor fellow will die.' " 'Of course he may die, stranger, but then it's pretty hot to-day, nnd ho is only a nigger, nnyway.' '"My God, this is inhuman! Como men, and we'll rcscuu thu poor fellow. "Just then another cry of 'Help' drovo me almost to a frenzy. I gavo soino change to the lazy colored men and sent them for shovels and picks. They came, and after distributing the implements 1 went to digging llko a crniy man. Presently I looked nround to see why tho others wero not helping me nnd there was not a soul In sight. I was wild with rago and cried down tho man hole to nsk how tho man was getting along. Not n word came In answer. I backed off a little to survey tho work und heard that samu muffled sound say: "'Come off tho perch! You uro an ole fool.' "I looked around and saw tho wholo towu coming at me. They wero laugh ing and shouting, ar.d I know I was tho causu of a great joke. They led ino to a barroom and told mo to register In a big book labeled 'Echo I'ools." There wero over live hundred names of pcoplo who hud been fooled. It was ono of those whispering echoes where sound is thrown back from thu bluff to ono par ticular spot. It cost me $17.80 to buy the drinks." Detroit Herald. THE NEWSPAPER ILLUSTRATOR Story uf ii ftrprcHcntiitlTe r I'lctorlal JourmillHiii. But tho newspaper Illustrator's llfo is not entirely replete with exciting ovents that stimulate his enthusiasm and servo to iinbtiu him with love for his work. There nro long weary sea sons of murder trials to be heard, or political gatherings to bu attended for tho purpose of getting tho portrait of some commonplace-looking man or woman who persistently manages to conceal his or her features. This is often tho moro exasperating as tho "victim" does so qulto unintentionally. Then there nro the ghastly sights of a holocaust, a collapse, mlno disasters, railway horrors, and tho long chain of accidents which bring death In its most repulsive aspect to human beings. Tha nrtist Is the one attacho of a newspaper who must r.co thu torriblo havoo wrought, must gaze upon horribly mu tilated corpses, upon the terror of frantic survivors and upon tho heart rending grief of those who find almost by Intuition only the shapeless remains, of their kin beneath tho shattered, timbers of a railway train or tho smoldering fragments of a burned, building. What Is more, ho must try to keep cool nnd collected, because trem ulous nervousness Is incompatible with good drawing. Hut tha public demands of a news paper that It show at least a suggestion of a horrible scone, beyond tho stirring accounts given in letterpress, and tho artist must nt thoso times bo deaf ta tho pleadings of his heart, and work because it Is his duty to his employers and to his family and to himself. Tho dear public usually furnishes tho lvidlcrous element In tho Illustrator's llfo. It is so very curious, this dear public. Let the poor representative pf plctoral journalism appear upon any street or anywhere olso in public, nnd. betray his occupation by the modest, way In which ho squec.es into an out-of-the-way corner, by tho sketch-book and tho up-and-down look of his eyes, nnd ho at onco becomes an irresistible center of attraction to passers-by, and' while, of course, nono of thu adult ones, would bo lllbred enough to look over tho shoulder of n man writing a busi ness letter, they think nothing of In truding upon tho man who makes his memoranda n fac-slmile of tho things hu wishes to remember.
