v. as called upon one morning by Rev.
Henry UteunU. a missionary of the Meth

lliu iimney to build a church and had
puichased the site, only to find that, under
mi old Spanish law still In force, no sut h
I utld i riff could be erected unless the same
was to he dedicated to the Catholic church.
H was a law handed down from the good
old days when church and slate traveled
hand In hand In the Spanish possessions.
The governor-general heard the mission
ary's statement and said, "Walt a few mln

Turning to his stenographer, Mr. Taft
dictated a few lines and then handed the

Ins;. "That's all right; now go ahead and

For all his easy-going ways James Whlt

with a white carnation In his buttonhole,
as ho aturts downtown to see his publish

cumulated a following of children. If there
la a little red-haired boy at the home with
the blue pump, standing on the fence rail
playing telephone with the clothes line,
Mr. Riley calls, "Hello. Amber Locks."
The first time they mV he lifted the boy
over the fence, sat him down on the
ground, looked at him gently, and said:
"Son, you've got hair Just like Hum used
to have. Hum was my Utile brother, and
grandmother called his Amber Locks." And
as he goes down the street there Isn't a

Why lie I.Ikes Tart.
Even the editor of a local newspaper Is
not always entirely without a sense of
humor, relates the New York Times. In a
certain little suburb of New York some
where between Irvlngton and Scarborough
a couple of local politicians were discussing
the presidential campaign In the office of
one of the local dailies, when the editor
looked up for a moment from his editorial
on the new postofflce building and ob
served :
"Taft Is going to be a big favorite with
the press, alright."
"Well, now; I'm glad to hear you say
so," responded one of the politicians. "And
I guess you're In a position to know, If
anyone does. Just what makes you think
that, thonghT"
"He takes up so much space," answered
the editor", as he racked his brain to think
how he waa going to get news Itetna
enough to fill the space between the adver
tisements on the first page.
On the Fence.
When Jim Watson, republican candidate
for governor of Indiana, was practicing
law In Winchester he had a case before
local Justice Involving the ownership of
a pig. Testimony waa submitted and the
Justice reserved decision.
The justice was a candidate for mayor
of the town, and Watson and the opposing
counsel thought they saw opportunity for
a little fun.
"See here. Judge," said Watson, meeting
the juatlce on the street one day, "unleas
I get judgment In my favor in that pig
case Tm going to oppose your election as
mayor."
Opposing counsel met the justice and
talked in the same strain. A couple of
days later they went together to the Jus
tice's office. He waa out. but his docket
lay open. Opposite the pig case was the
entry: "Disagreed."
Crawford awid HI Critics.
The popular American novelist, F. Marlon
Crawford, haa a beautiful villa In Sorrento.
The villa, on the edge of rich brown cliffs
that fall sheer, like a wall, Into the blue
waters of the Mediterranean, offers a su
perb view of the shining sea, of Capri, of
Naples, and Vesuvius.
Mr. Crawford haa written an Iniarcdlble
number of novels, relatea the Baltimore
Sun. Indeed. It ia aaid of him that he
can, without any difficulty, write a long
and quite readable novel In ten days.
Hence It la not strange that with his
wealth and fame he should be the lion of
Sorrento.
In a Sorrento hotel sat a group of tour
ists. "The native here." said a tourlat from
Duluth. "talk of nothing but Marlanna
Crawfoot Marianne, CrawfooL I have
found out at last what they mean. They
mean, by Jove, our great American novelist,
K. Marlon Crawford."
"Crawford la a wondorful writer," said
a tourist from Boise City. "Ha thinks noth
ing of turning out a novel In three days."
"I doubt that." a tourist from Baltimore
said. "Yet It la true that "Crawford haa
written a great many books, over 100. I
think the figures atand. And he la still
young, remember. H may yet break all
le. uuls."
"X don t beliv any living man tvai
read all Crawford's books." said a tourist
from New York.
A tall, broad-shouldered gentleman, who
has been listening on t lie outskirts of the
group, with something; like a sneer, lifting
his sweeping moustache, spoke up Impa
tiently at this Juncture.
"I have read them all," he said.
The tourlsta looked In surprise at the
stranger.
"You have, eh?" said a Chlcagoun. "And
who, may I ask, are you?"
"I am Crawford," was the reply.
General Nlekles' Ntormy ( nreer.
The reconciliation between Geneial Daniel
K. Sickles and his wife, after a separation
of twenty-seven years, Is one of the most
notable social events of recent times, re
lates the Philadelphia Inquirer. It appears
to le one of the last important Incidents of
a career that has been remarkably stormy
In war, lu love and In politics. General
Sickles will be 84 years old In a few weeks,
and fur more than sixty years has been a
prominent figure In public life.
Concerning no man In tho country has
there been more discussion, his friendships
being as warm as his enemies are hitter.
It is not llkelv that the controversy over
the action of General Sickles on the mot n
mg of the second day at Gettysburg will
ever er.d, but there is no disputed p.ilnt In
hlstcry on which each side holds such ab
solute convictions, of a diametrically op
posing character. v
There are a good many people alive who
remember the sensation created all over the
country when General Sickles shot the al
leged betrayer of his wife, Philip RurUm
Key, on tho street in Wilmington. This
was fifty years ago, lacking a fi vv months,
and at that time General Kickles waa u
leading member vt congres and known as
a man of the moat positive views.
The trial which followed was cehhrHleil
In the nniials of criminal Jurisprudence, re
sulting In a verdict of acipilttal. There waa
at that time a good deal of belief In the
liiffher law of the husband, but when not
long afterward the couple reunited ther"
were many persona who thought they had
been duped.
This wife died, and the necnnd has had
sorrows f her own, though the exact na
ture of the domcKtic troubles Is unknown.
In the meantime the stormy career of the
old general haa continued. He has been a
fighter In politics and hla personality has
never been absent from New York affairs
until recently, when declining; years have
snmewhst abated hla energies. But he re
mains one of the few picturesque figures
among the survivors of the war. the eldest
In years of them all. and one who will be
remembered for various reasons long after
some of greater military abilities have been
forgotten.
The t'nptnre of Mosliy.
.General John 8. Moshy, the confederate
cavalryman, used to tell of a comic Inci
dent which happened In the Shenandoah
valley In 1SI. relates Youth's Companion.
Near Millwood a regiment of cavalry halted
oi. e night and went into camp. One of the
men, who was hungry, slipped away and
went off in the neighborhood to get some
tiling to cat. lie rudo up to a cabin on a
farm In the dark and called fur the person
Inside to come out.
A negro woman, known at that time as an
intelligent contraband, opened the door and
anked him what he wanted. The soldier
wished to be assured of his safety before
dismounting and while eating his supper, so
he Inquired of the woman if any one but
herself was there.
She replied, "Yes. Mosby is here."
"What!" said he, in a whisper. "Is Mosby
here?"
"Yes," she said, "he Is In the. house."
The soldier put spurs to his horse and
chinned off to his company to carry the
r.ews. When lie sot there he informed the
colonel that Mosby was in a house not far
away. The regiment was soon mounted,
and went at a fast trot, thinking they had
Moshy In a trap.
When they arrived at the negro woman's
hotixe the colnncl ordered his men. to sur
round It, to prevent Mosby's escape, while
he went In with a few to take him dead or
alive.
The woman aRiiln came to the door of
the cabin. The colonel Inquired, "Is Mosby
lure?"
She innocently replied, "Yes," so he
walked In.
After the colonel got Ir.slde lie looked
round. Rut the woman seemed to he all

Important a person for her guest.
In a loud voice the colonel demanded.
"Wh.re is Mosby?"

Just because they thought an ostrich was
a timid, harmless sort of creature, two
men, one while and "one black, wi re badly
hurt at Mineola, f-ons; Island." Kach of the
men tried to catch and hold an ostrich at
the Mineola fair grounds. The negro was
kicked In the face and landed about twenty
feet from the bird; the white man was
kicked in the cheat and knocked down and
had his clothes torn off him.
The ostrich that did all tlu- damnKe is

named Fleet wing, arrived from Florida In
two crates the other day. They wcr

have been trained to run races and pull
light sulkies to which they are harnessed.
They are bad tempered, however, and
