! 4 — A RACE AND A REVENGE. How Macon’s Mayot Beat a Train and Got Even. Macon, Mo, Sept. 17.—One night Yast week the mayorof she town, Harry M. Rubey, was “pulled” for scorching wita his new motor car. Ge stood it good humoredly, pald this fine and set up thet cigars to the chief of police and his men. Yet there Jiugered in the mayor's mind @ sort of oppression and fadefiaity state of anrest, It was a good joke, ofcourse, hut the other fellows were doing all the laughing, especially vhat 240- pound police chieftatn,{who seemed to enjoy the thing most toomuch to De consistent with a proper respect. Lust night Mr. Rubey was stand- Ing beside his car, which was peace tully resting by the curd. Malone, the man of the star, came up, emil- ing. : “Going against Bill's atop-watch again to-night, Harry’ he asked, ocularly. “No; that taught me a lesson,” said the mayor contritely. “I use the slow valve altogether now. W ant to take a little ride, Malone?” The chief wasn't’ busy and he got in the go-cart. Rubey started {t on a walk, Asis wentsouth on the Rollins street boulevard, a chained dog could have outrun is. The chief remarked they might do a little bet- ter and still be sate within the law. His Honor made no response. The boulevard, as it swings to the south, approaches the Wabash railroad. They could hear the Das Moines ex- press pulling ous of the depot, & mile uptown, The mayor puta trifle more power on the machine, As it ‘ eloared the city Hilts motor carand express train were neck and neck. ‘The mayor bent down to fool with some levers and then he opened her up. The car leaped forward like a horse taking a hurdle. For two miles a smooth macadam road par- allels the railroad. The engineer on the express train looked across st the dying motor car and pulled the throttle out a few notches. Hedidn’t maasure along, and that it was on'y a guess. Above the roar of the train could be heard the cheers of the men in the cab. Like true eportemen, they admired the nerve of their suc- ceseful rival. The motor car was stopped at the academy terrace, and the chief got out to rest. After waiting a whil Mr. Rubey suggested that be ge: back in, and they would return to the city. “No,” sald the chief determinedls ; “Tm too tired: I'm going to walk back.” Washington Gossip. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson does not hold such pessimistic views regarding the future of this country as James J.

It {s reported that a Washington attorney with an inquiring turn of mind bas dug up an old law passed by Congress some years ago to the effect that Webster's dictionary shall be the authority for the way words used {n offictal documents are to be spelled. That being the case, Mr. Roosevelt’s efforts to improve the spelling in public documents may be rendered null and votd unless Con- gress comes to his rescue and repeals the ancient statute. Four of the fastest cruisers of the American navy, the West Virginia, Colorado, Pennsylvania and-Mary- land, are racing across the Atlantic to Gibraltar. The ships are alike in design and engines, but have differ- ent types of boilers, and it {8 to de- termine which type of boller is beet that the race is being made. According to the report of Edge- wood W. Parker, statistician of the U. 8.

We're going to take the academy crossing ahead of thet train!” As the wall of the motor whistle went down the road teams were hastily driven to one side and stop- ped, while their drivers looked aghast at the wild race through the night. The soovy men ia the cab of the engine worked for dear life. The white hot furnace illuminated earth and sky asthe fireman threw open the door to pile on morecoal. Every ounce of steam the engine could car- ry wasenlisted in the cause of de- foating the little rival on the govern- ment highway. Something shot un- der the motor car’s wheels and there was ehurrican of shrieks following the passage of the rubber tired ma- chine over a body. “Just a dog,” said the mayor. “I want to get out,” said the chief. “J—I’m Hable to—” “Jump.” The charitable advice was not! {4 unclean chan, ‘he theeded for various reasons.

Just betore reaching the academy crossing the highway {s as straight as afiehing pole. The motor car was now abead of the train, and in the wide glare of the engine's electric flashlight. The crossing was dread- fully near, and to make the turn at that speed seemed about as safe as eitting on a keg of lighted gunpowd- or. . “Q Lord!’ groaned the chief. “Hold tight!” muttered the mayor ‘as he leaned over to the inner side of ‘the curve he was going to make. It>seemed an even chance as to ‘whether engine or motor would reach the crossing firet.

Made the First of Eleven Addresses REPLIED TO SECRETARY SHAW'S SPEECH Declared the Secretary of the Treasury an arrived here Monday the first of 11 speeches scheduled for this state. A large crowd heard him. Bryan said that North Carolina had a peculiar claim upon his affections, ag it was one of the first states of the union to declare through tts delegates that it wanted him for the democratic nomination for 1908 It was not dif- fienlt, he said, to locate the original Bryan man. In this connection he promised that in any future campaigny the people of this state could always call upon him, coming south if he was using his time to ‘the better advantage and added that his coming was made still less necessary from the fact that Secre- tary Shaw had been here before. Taking up Secretary Shaw's Asheville speech, Mr. Bryan said he felt grate- ful to bim for the service he had ren- not paid North Carolina a high com- a graceful compliment to the veteran A21-2 Cent Passenger Rate.
