Tm an address delivered at Salisbury, N. C., on “Jackson’s Day” (Jan. 8), Mr. J. P. Caldwell, the editor of the Charlotte (N. C.) Observer, related a Story of Andrew Jackson that has, so far as we know, never before been | printed. “While he lived at Salisbury,” Says Mr. Caldwell, “Jackson once at: | tended court at Rockford, then the county seat of Surry, and left without paying his bit, which was duly charged up against him on the hotel | register, which seems to have been the hotel ledger of ‘that time, and so stood for many years. When the news of the victory of the Sth of January, 1815, was received in this then remote Section, the old landlord turned back the leaves of the register, took his pen and wrote under the account against Andrew Jackson, ‘Settled in full by the battle of New Orleans.’” HEN’S TIME NO OBJECT. Why Incubator Salesman Failed to Impress Uncle Harvey. A shrewd old farmer named Uncle Harvey was approached by a bright, breezy young man who was selling in- eubators. The Green Bag, which tells the story, says that the salesman gave Uncle Harvey the usual eloquent arguments. There was not another such incubator to be found, the prices were remarkably low, and so on. Uncie Harvey did not respond. The young man talked himself out and made no impression. Finally, he said. “You don’t seem to appreciate these incubators.” “No,” said Uncle Harvey. “But just think of the time they will save!” Uncle Harvey gave him one | cold Icok asatd. “What do you sup- e T-care fora hen's time?”— Youth's Com: Latect Fashionable, Extravagance. Mrs. Gouverne-r Kortright has | ro’ the envy of all others in the New York “450” by importing a car- riage which is of absclutely new de- | sign end general construction. The eclor scheme is dark maroon, with spokes of delicately pencilei yellow. Instead, however of nickel plated trappings or silver, as some persons have, the victoria is trimmed with burnished copper and the marcon col- or sv. ~estion is rm. ntained with this hionrble new metal.

A pocket purse containing quite a m of money was lost by Thomas ks a couple of weeks ago and no- es were placed in the postoffice and ether buildings, but without results, Mr. “Banks then placed an ad in the Argus, and darned if his dog didn’t go out in the back yard and dig up the purse with the contents in good con- dition. Of course.the dog cannot read, but he heard the family reading the item and thus furnished another evi- dence that it pays to advertise in the Argus. Mr. Banks is $40 ahead and we will steal the dog at the first op- portunity.—Antwerp (O.) Argus. 5 E t North Carolina’s New Senator. Lee S. Overman, the new senator from North Carolina, is 49 years old. He is a lawyer of ability, a native of Salisbury, and in 1874 graduated from Trinity college, North Carolina, He was private secretary to Gov. Vance nd has been a member of the state house ef representatives five times, | having been speaker once. In 1895 he was the Democratic candidate to succeed Senator Vance. In 1900 hei was the state Democratic presidential | elector. He is of winning personality, of commanding presence and a skilled parliamentarian. To Rid Ships of Rats. Prof. Koch has discovered a success- ful method for the destruction of rats which frequent the holds of ships. An experiment has been conducted. on poard the Bulgaria at Hamburg. The rats were placed in cages in the hold. An apparatus was then used to fill the hold of the ship with a gaseous sub- stance. When this was concluded the | cages were brought on deck and all | rats were found to be dead. A new sys- tem will in futui, be used in the Ger- man nary end also in the big German steamship lines. Journalist’s Happy Phrase. was assuring some Washington cor- respondents that journalistic talent is not confined to the national capital. | «Why, I know of a reporter,” he said, “who was describing the wreck of a vessel on the Maine coast. Tais was one of the sentences: “At this mo- | ment a giant wave swept over the | doomed craft and six peor sa‘lors bit the dust.’ Any of you fellows ever peat that?” The corresrondents saic an chorus: “I hope not.” 1 | a wife. | Webster. HIS WIFE AN ORATOR. Bitulous Citizen Knew the Fate Which Awaited Him. Representative-elect James Kennedy of Youngstown, Ohio, has ingratiated himself in the last few days with the House coterie. He is a story teller and reproducer of dialect. There is always an extra seat for a man of that caliber who wanders near the cloakroom precincts. Here is a dia- , logue he recounts between two Ohio | citizens, who had remained out late | and were staggering home together in the early morning: First Citizen—What will your wife say when she shees you coming home ; Chic) at yis unearthly hour? Second. Citizen—Oh, not much (hic). My wife don’t talk, but she thinks a great deal (hic). How about your wife? First Citizen—My wife. Ab, hat (hic.) Post. She’s an orator.—Washington WIFE OF MANY COLORS. Boston Journal Sees Advantages in Such a Possession. The Lady Chameieon is attracting attention in’ Paris. She is a young Roumanian, Marga Cerbus by name, whose coloring is determined: by her emotions. Anxiety turns her green; she is pink when joyful; violet when afraid and black when angry. The Boston Journal can see how such @ woman would be a never-failing joy as Her husband would never be in doubt as to the precise nature of her mental condition. And then there might come a mildly polygamous feel- ing to a husband having a white wife, a colored wife and a red wife on dif- ferent days. “Yet Miss Cerbus will, no Aoubt, marry a man that is color blicd, and therefore unappreciative; such is the irony of life.” Lord Roberts’ Magnificent Sword. A citizen who has just returned from a ‘trip in Europe says that the | sword presented to Admiral Dewey is a beauty, but that in the matter of downright gorgeousness it is rather @ poor secend to that given to Lord Roberts by the city of Portsmouth re cently. The American, who has ex- amined both weapons, says that the’ one owned by the little English sol- | dier is probably the costliest thing of | its kind in the world. The hand-made blade is of English steel inscribed with all the engagements in which Lord Roberts has taken part. The grip is of gold and carved ivory, the guard of solid gold ornamented with rubies, dia- mands and sapphires, and the scab- bard is splendidly decorted. Tomb of Jeremy Bentham. In University college, London, is a singular object that is preserved care- fully in a remote gallery inside a flass case, which, again, is contained in a huge woodcn cupbeard, the doors ot, waich are locked and the keys in f#aie custody. The relic which is thus so zealously guarded is described in “some notes on the history of the college as the “skeleton” of Jeremy bentham, “clad in the garments in viich he lived,” while his head only is stated to ave been ‘mummified.” It has always been understood that Hentham’s body was embalmed, and in that case it cannot be his mere skeleton which is reposing there un- der lock and key. John Kelly’s Son a Broker. John Jerome Kelly, son of the late John Kelly, who was leader of Tam- many Hall next before Croker, be- came a member of the New York Stock exchange a few days ago and was initiated with a degree of vio- lence which bore testimony to his pop- ularity. The members daubed his face with paint and made him dance as Indians dance in geography pictures. The reason they hazed him that way was because his father was a politi- cal Indian and because Mr. Kelly ex- pects to dv whatever brokerage busl- ness there is to be done for the Tam- many Indians of this day. Out of the Age. Maximilian was an anachronism. He belonged to the age of knight-errantry. For himself immolation was attractive in comparison with cowardice and meanness. The very motive which impelled him to embrace that ill starred mission was noble and unsel- fish. Those who fought against the empire he sought to establish on American soil always honored and esteemed the man. There was none among the true soldiers of Mexico who did not respect his memory, and no attempt to blot that pure scutcheon will-escape rebuke while one of them survives.—Washington Post. Offictal’s Unique. Signature. Through the retirement of Col. An- drew N. Demrell, which took place re cently, the records of the regular army engineer corps will lose the most remarkable signature known in the service. His name as appended to official papers was simply a series of absolutely undecipherable marks, though his handwriting otherwise is remarkably plain, The colonel, a Massachusetts man, entered West Point in 1860 and has a creditable ca- reer. He has had charge of many im- portant river and harbor projects. Senator Hoar Finds Treasure, Senator Hoar heard the other day that an old lady in reduced circum. | stances had a fine portrait cf Daniel The senator, who owns the largest and finest collection of Web- | steriana in the country, hurried to the address given and shortly owned the painting, which is from the brush of Chester Harding, well known in art circles sixty years ago. He thinks it is one of the finest portraits of Web- ster in existence.
