Rather Confusing
Nowadays the duties of clerk and
sexton are usually performed by the
same person and an amusing story is
told of a person -who visiting a village
church and being struck by the knowl
edge of legends and history shown by
the old man who was taking him
round asked his guide what occupa
tion he followed Well said the old
man I hardly know what I be First
vicar he called me clerk then another
he came and he called me virgin then
the last vicar said I was the Christian
and now I be clerk again Virgin
was of course a confusion of verger
and Christian for sacristan or sex

JOE BLACKBURN
HOUGH the
fighting and
silver tongued
senator from Ken
tucky was defeated
for re election peo
ple of the Blue
Grass State as well
as those of Wash
ington will long re
member his quarter
of a centurys serv
ice in the two
houses of congress his stock of good
stories and his bright repartee
As a sample of the stinging language
Blackburn sometimes uses may be
cited his characterization of a western
judge whom he had introduced to
President Cleveland late in the cam
paign of 188S After this judge re
turned home he gave out an interview
in which he professed to quote the
president as having given up the elec
tion because of the treachery of Sen
ator Hill of New York Mayor Hewitt
and others Blackburn characterized
the whole statement as false and
wound up his sizzling roast in this
fashion
I can do no more than to crave the
presidents pardon for having been
misled into introducing to him a cari
cature upon humanity for whose ex
istence the Lord in fair dealing owes
an apology to mankind
Here is another sample of the sort of
English Blackburn slings when he is
feeling well He was detected read
lug the presidents message and as he
read he chuckled to himself Finally
one of his colleagues approached the
senator from Kentucky and asked for
the joke
It has just occurred to me solemn
ly observed the senator that Mr
Roosevelts English does not coruscate
with the pyrotechnic scintillations of
obsolescent linguosity which so ex
tensively Illuminated the lucubrations
and ululations of President Cleveland
Since lie hails from Kentucky many
of the tales concerning Blackburn
naturally relate to the beverage which
cheers Here is one A friend recently
met the ex senator at the station on
his return from a trip to the country
How are you Joe his friend ask
ed
Im up against it was the reply
I lost the best part of my baggage en
route
Did you misplace it or was it
stolen his friend inquired solicitous
ly
Neither said Blackburn TI12
cork came out
When questioned about this story
later however Blackburn denied it
Not a word of truth in it he said
You know I would be more careful
of the cork
Blackburns fondness for speechmak
ing is a matter of common knowledge
At one time lie was on an outing trip
with some friends along the Kentucky
river when a few dozen residents of
the neighborhood joined the party The
food was of the best and there was
plenty of liquid refreshment Black
burn however did not seem to be en
joying himself One of his friends
asked him what was the matter I
dont like this crowd Blackburn re
sponded Why Joe his friend re
monstrated theres not a man here
who wouldnt die for you I know
that returned Blackburn Its not
the quality Im objecting to but the
quantity The crowd is too big for an
anecdote and not big enough for a
speech
One day Secretary of War Taft ap
peared before the military committee of
the senate of which Blackburn was a
member advocating the view that jun
ior army officers should not marry
But how asked Blackburn can
you make that accord with the admin
istration views on race suicide
Secretary Taft met this question with
a characteristic roar of laughter
Blackburn was a stanch silver man
and therefore opposed to the repeal of
the purchasing clause of the Sherman
law Representative Caruth and a
party of other Kentuckians called on
the senator and told him he was hurt
ing himself politically as most of the
towns in the state were passing reso
lutions favoring the repeal
What do I care for the resolutions of
the towns rejoined Blackburn They
are passed by bankers lawyers and
dry goods merchants and no country
men were at the meetings
How do you know asked Caruth
How do I know Why Asher I
know it darned well Every town in
Kentucky is reached by a tollgate and
the poor country people havent money
enough to pass them Thats the rea
son J know Here Jim give these
fellows a drink of Bourbon and let
them go
Blackburn one day invited Secretary
Shaw ami Vice President Fairbanks
who was then senator to have some
thing When Shaw was asked what he
would take he replied
Well I guess Ill have a glass of
lemonade
Blackburn then turned to Fairbanks
and said
And what will you have senator
Ill have a glass of moxie was the
reply
The bartender said to Senator Black
burn
And whats yours senator
Oh snld he scarcely able to con
ceal his disgust I guess IM have a
piece of squash pie

A VETERAN JOURNALIST
Croiby 8 Noyes and His Jamestown
Remarks on Roosevelt
Crosby S Noyes editor of the Wash
ington Star was quite free in his criti
cism of President Roosevelt and also
strong in his Indorsement of Mr Roose
velts work as a whole In the speech h
made before the National Editorial
association at the Jamestown exposi
tion He compared Captain John Smith
somewhat humorously with President
Roosevelt and said that the achieve
ments of the former In planting and
sustaining the colony at Jamestown
were as worthy of glorification us those
of the latter but that Smith lacked the
aid of the newspaper press which has
so greatly helped Mr Roosevelt In his
efforts to accomplish things In the In
terest of the people Mr Noyes gave
CKOSBY S NOYES
the president some rather hard digs In
the course of his talk to the editors at
Jamestown and concluded his address
with the remark After all Theodore
Roosevelt is n good deal of a boy yet
ns well as a most masterful president
Mr Noyes himself is one of the old
boys in journalism for he was doing
reporting at Washington when Web
ster Clay and Calhoun were the lead
ing figures in congress Ho celebrated
his eighty second birthday in February
and is still active in his profession He
left his native state of Maine at twenty-two
to become a Washington corre
spondent and In lSoo became a reporter
on the Star Twelve years later he ac
quired a financial interest in the paper
and since that time lie has been its
editor in chief Just before he entered
the employ of the Star he took a tramp
on foot in Europe after the Bayard
Taylor fashion and described his ex
periences in a series of letters to the
Portland Transcript ne won a hich
reputation during the civil war by his
energy in obtaining news from the field
and his accuracy and tactfulness He
was one of the few newspaper men
who enjoyed the confidence of the
great war secretary Stanton In later
times he has been active in furthering
the plans for the beautification of
Washington The New England news
papers for which Mr Noyes wrote sixty
years ago paid him 1 a column for
his correspondence Washington corre
spondents of the present time would
think that pretty small pay but Mr
Noyes at that time only paid 250 per
week for his board and lodging and it
would be difficult to obtain any kind
of accommodations in the capital for
that sum now
