AV. ntnrv bv "a ouondam Ohio I 1 woman" of Longfellow and Lotig- I worth interested a writer In the 7TT New York Times as an example of how the account of an Inci dent may become twisted clear around without losing Its hold on the truth. The facts originally were: A gentleman named Longworth. and pre sumably of the Cincinnati fa . was In troduced In Cambridge, Mask., ..lit forty years ago, to Samuel Longfe.low, hymn writer and brother of the better known poet. The Cinclnnatlan could think of nothing better to say than: "Our names are much alike." "Yes," was Samuel's Instant reply. "But, you know, 'worth makes the man, the want of It the fellow.' " Boston appreciated and preserved such wit in those day, and smiled when Chan ging dubbed the younger brother's volume of hymns the "Sam-book." One Experience Enoagli, Kubellk, the noted violinist, was once playing by request before the Inmates of an Insane asylum, the superintendent of which believed that music was a fine medi cine for unbalanced minds. He played a brilliant Slav composition, thinking that was surely of the cheerful character wanted. As he finished a very young woman arose and beckoned to him. He thought, artist like, that she wanted an encore and so said to the doctor: "Ask her what she de sires." He rose to his feet and was about to question her when she exclaimed: "To think of the likes of me being In here and ha being at large In the world!" That was the last time Kubellk ever played In an in sane asylum. "The Flghttasr Parson." Dr. William S. Ralnsford. who en ac . count of continued Ill-health has resigned as rector of St. George's parish. New York City, earned his title of "the fighting par son" Immediately after taking charge of that pastorate. He opened a mission In a saloon over on the east aide and was con ducting a meeting when an Intoxicated man began to raise a disturbance. Dr. Ralnsford ordered him to leave, where upon the fellow swore violently. The preacher walked over and after sortie vain parley with the burly disturber suddenly knocked the fellow down. The man scrambled to hln feet and hurried out. Later he was one of Dr. Ratnsford's most ardent admirers. Dr. Ralnsford la an Irishman, having been born In Dublin on October 30. 150, and the traits of an earnest Irishman often crept Into his sermons and speeches. They did' so somewhat surprisingly about three years ago, when on one occasion, getting pretty well worked up. he guve utterance to an expressive "damn." Regretting the Utterance when he had cooled ofT, he wrote a letter of apology to Bishop Potter. The latter, In speaking of the Incident, described the "strenuous parson" In these words: "You see, Dr. Ralnsford Is an Irishman, and when he gets worked up a little of he Irishman crops out." Saved His Kerk. When Cardinal Gibbons was th guest of honor at a dinner given recently by Senator and Mrs. Stephen B. Elkins, he found As sociate Justice of the Supreme Court Ed ward Douglas White of New Organs, oc cupying the next seat.

About Noted People they can recall some thrilling adventures. One of these tales his eminence related to the great edification of his fellow diners. Just after the occupation of New Orleans by the federal troops under General Ben Butler, the cardinal, then a seminarian, attended a meeting of hot-spirited youths. Some of the fervent speeches were reported to General Butler and the most prominent offenders were summoned before the grim warrior. The man of the cloth was wor ried and sought advice from young White,, who was home on parole. After hearing all the evidence, the present grave justice went before General Butler to defend his client. "I am told," said the Illustrious Beit, casting a stern eye on the trembling seminarian, "that you said you would have nothing to do with these detestable Yan kees; that you would not even conduct a funeral sen-Ice over one of them. Were you correctly quoted?" Here Mr. White arose, and with a profound bow, declared that in behalf of the accused he would state that he had been Incorrectly reported. What he said was that he "would, with the greatest pleasure, conduct the funeral service of every Yankee officer and soldier In New Orleans." According to the car dinal It was only the sense of humor for which General Butler was famous that saved them both from an experience In jail. Balked at lllah Living-. Apropos of the Approaching Ronalds Strong wedding In New York they are tell ing a story about the bridegroom. Reginald Ronalds was with the Rough Riders In Cuba and had his full share of hardships in that brief campaign. On his return to New York h and another of the regiment went to a swell club and ordered a bottle and a bird. They had Just tasted of the perfectly cooked partridge when young Ronalds said: "Oh, I say, this Is too rich for us after the hard tack. Walter bring us a Jug of rather dirty water and some stale bread. The reaction to champagne and partridge is too sudden all at once." Is Ira Inf The late Francis Coggtn for a long time was a director of the Indian Head National bank, Nashua. N. H. During the last years of his directorship the present cashier, Ira F. Harris, was at the head of the institu tion. It was Mr. Coggin's custom to visit the bank dully, and Invariably as he opened the door he would say, in tones that could be heard all over the bank. "Is Ira In?" Mr. Harris "grew very tired of this, much to the amusement of the rest of the bank. Finally the phruse came to be a byword with them. During the summer preceding his death Mr. Coggln looked very bad, but was able to get out and make his usual visits to the bank. One hot day In July the clerks were sweltering over their work, when In walked Mr. Coggin. with his usual saluta tion. "Is Ira in?" "Yes." said Mr. Harris. "I am here." "It's a pretty hot day. Isn't It?" "Hot! You don't call this hot. do you? You ought to have been with me one summer down in Georgia." And Mr. Cog gin proceeded to tell what hot weather really was. After he had gone out, Mr. Harris spoke up -a follows: "Doesn't Mr. Coggin look bad? I am afraid It won t be long before he will be where the weather will be hot enough for him." "Yes." piped up the correspondence clerk, "and the first thing thai he will say when be opens the door will b ! ir tor- BE SURE AND ATTEND THESE SALES EARLY MONDAY MORNING.

It is possible that- this budding Journalistic exotic that was recently trans planted from the wind-swept plains of Kan sas to Missouri will flourish here under the fructifying influences of his present environments, but if he continues to poke his nose with . such restless activity and freshness Into controversies In which he has no personal Interest It will perhaps be well to warn him that climatic conditions are such here that his proboscis in all of Its amplitude will soon be covered by an ele gant crop of well developed warts." Chicago Don'ts. One of the protective associations re cently organized for self-defenBS In Chi cago Issued these warnings to household ers: "Don't let mall accumulate In vestibule mall boxes. Have' the Janitor remove . It when you are away or it will serve as a notice to flat workers that you are out and the coast Is clear. "Don't leave directions to your grocer on the back door. This Is another tip to the burglar that you are 'out. "Don't open the door to anyone after dark without kiiuwing who it is. Call through the tube or ask behind the locked door. "Don't trust a stranger because he Is well dressed. The Immaculate thief Is dan gerous; the ragged one Is generally harm less. "Don't trust the locks. Most apartment locks are toys; a burglar can 'Jimmy' them in half a minute without noise. Get special bolts. "Don't leave the house without making sure that all windows are fastened. Leave all curtains up, with possible exception of bedroom. This often fools a burglar. "Don't be Impolite to a burglar If you find one in the house. Invite him to take it all, and at the first chance you get run to a neighbor and call for the police. "Don't scream In the presence of a burg lar or hold-up man. If he Is an amateur be may lose his presence of mind and hurt you.- "Don't walk close to a building after dark; give an alley a good margin." shunned the Water Waaon. "Water makes me sick. Sometimes the mere sight of It nauseates me." That Is the rvason Mrs. Sarah Millls of Ogdxn, I'tah, gives for not having drunk for forty eight years. "My abstinence from water is not a matter of rule," she said. "I simply don't care for water as a beverage and after having gone without It for a few. months and suffering no 111 elTocts I got so I never thought of drinking It any more than I would think of taking a glass of pnUon. And It Is a sort of poison to my system. When I was a little girl I remember that often a glass of water would make me deathly sick. "What do you drink as a substitute for water?" was asked of Mrs. Millls. . , "Tea, coffee, lemonade and In the summer beer are my principal beverages. But even of, these I drink sparingly.

When I am not feeling well I can go hours and hours without drinking anything." ' "Do you drink tea or coffee whenever you are thirsty, Mrs. Millls?" "No, Indeed, I am not addicted to tea drinking at all, as one might suspect I would be. I rarely drink more than one cup a day, usually at dinner and never between meals. It Is the same with coffee. Milk I never touch. You are making quite an 'oddity of me by your questions, when the fact Is that my drinking habits have never before occurred to me as freaklBh." "I cannot state the scientific reason for my loathing of water, having never con sulted a physician on the subject. Some people have suggested that it Is all' Imag ination; that I have got so In the habit of refusing a drink of water that to drink one after these years of abstinence would ef fect me psychologically and in no other way. That Isn't true. Water seems to poison my whole system, and that's all there Is to it." - . Mrs. MUIls Is active'-for her age.

She appeared at the stage door of the Grand opera house In answer to an ad vertisement which called for a handsome young woman who possessed a cork leg.

The story of Enoch Arden with some variations was repeated in a Chicago court the other day by Mrs. Mary Oswald, who sought to have her marriage with William G. Oswald annulled. Roy H. Eastman, a clerk In a railroad office, was the "Enoch Arden" of the story related to the judge by. Mrs. Oswald. The domestic history of Mrs. Oswald dates back to May IS, 1903, when she and Eastman were married. They lived happily together with Eastman's mother, the court was told, until one day the husband dis appeared. "I 'waited In vain for a letter," said the witness, "but no word came, from Roy. Then my mother-in-law informed me that her son had obtained a divorce at Fargo, N. D. At this time Mr. Oswald was call ing on me. I asked Roy's mother if she was quite sure about the divorce and she said she was. So January 28. 1904, Mr. Os wald and .1 were married." "Were you happy with your second hus band also?" queried the Judge, with In terest. . "Oh, yes," continued the witness, "but one evening there was a knock at the door. I opened 'It and was dumbfounded to see my first husband standing on the porch. 'What are you doing here?' I asked. "I thought you had secured a divorce." Explanations followed, but Eastman, un like the hero of the book who left his wife with her second husband. Insisted that she should return to him. The complainant said the man threatened to have her ar rested on a charge of bigamy. "Which one do you love now?" asked the court. ' "Well, I don't love either of them any more," replied Mrs. Oswald, "for when Roy came back William left me Immedi ately. I wish to have my marriage with Mm annulled and then I Intend to apply for a divorce from my first husband, who Is earning $75 a month, and should be made to contribute toward my support." . "I see. but you can't get alimony from both husbands, you know," remarked the court. Called the Turn on Onle. Ople Read recently made a trip through Arkansas on horseback..

THR WnMnrf thev are telllna- V I this story of a Pittsburg mil- sV I Hnnalre who is over 70. and the way he fooled his son and nephew on a 'recent visit to the city of the Great White Way. The two young men dined with "father" every evening, and then watched htm take the elevator to his quarters. "Too bad, father has to go to bed at 9 every evening," said the son. "He don't have much fun, does he?" re turned the nephew. "Wonder If he goes to sleep right away, or If he'd like us to stay and talk to him?" from the son. "Let's go and se,"- said the nephew, feeling the full grip of compassion. They found his shoes outBlde the door waiting for the coming of the bootblack, and there was no. light In the transom. "Poor old man, he doesn't have a very good time over here," they chorused. Then they went out into the night In a cab, and toward midnight turned Into one of the gilded mirrored lobster places. When they were finally seated about a table and had given the waiter his ordes they looked about the room. The first individual to, meet their astonished gase was "father," in full evening dress, pouring champagne Into a glass which was held by an actress. "How about the shoes In front of your door?" they asked him afterward. "It's a pity a man of my age and money can't have two pairs of shoes, my chil dren," he said with a wink. "Those were my old shoes." New York Tribune. Got the Full Benefit. "When I first came to Kansas and found that the state had no grand Jury system I thought surely I was beyond the limits of civilization," said Colonel Bill Hackney the other day. "So I immediately became a reformer and started an agitation for a law creating grand Juries. I was sent to the legislature two or three terms and at each session tried to get a grand Jury law through, but failed. Ttien I went to the senate for a couple of terms and kept up my fight, but (ailed. "Then as a member of the third house for a couyle of terms I threw my influence in favor of a grand Jury bill every time one shewed up. Finally after seventeen years it ceaseless toll I was amply re warded. A grand jury law was passed. I went home happy. I had helped to lo something to protect the rights of the peo ple. "In order to see how the thing worked the people of my own county, where the agitation ;iad been the fiercest, had a grand Jury called and I was the first man Indtctvd. I was accustd of betting on election." Kansas City Journal. Better Than a Cascade. Several years ue William L. Douglas spent a short vacation with some friends In New Hampshire.

You'll know him, because he wears plaid overalls, green and blue plaid, and she makes 'em for him. You can't keep from laughing when you set eyes on 'em, I'll wager." "Excuse me, but I have only so much time," said Douglas; "will Mr. Simmons direct me to the cascade?" "I presume to say he can," he answered, "but after you've seen those plaid overalls a little mess o' water running over a little mess o' rocks will seem might tame to ye." Boston Herald. Dlsconraalng Quest (or Capital. One of Pittsburg's bank presidents is a friend and most unassuming benefactor of ambitious young men.

One Who Doesn't Look. Rev. Sam Jones, the noted Georgia re vivalist preacher, was at all times, to suy the least, forceful In his language. Above all things he objects to a pretense of supersaintlinesa, his religion being some thing on M "shirt sleeves" order. On one occasion he isad taken for his text "Van ity," and to point hia moral sold: "Now, If there In a woman In the con gregation this morning who didn't look Into the mirror before coming to meeting I want to see her; I want her to stand up." A single woman arose and stood with meekly, downcast eyes. To describe her in a kindly way, one would say homely. Rev. Jones rested his earnest eyes upon her. "Well. God bless you, sister," he said. "It certainly is a pity that you didn't" Success. - $- Liberality. F. M. Iwe, who ran as a prohibitionist for governor of Missouri, tells how he was beholden to tue enemy for aid and coin fort.
