She screamed, the negro releasing her and fleeing. THE TRIPOD PAINT CO., 37 N. Pryor St„ and a ARTIST The capitol Is big and lonesome and dark at night. When the officials and clerks and porters and visitors all go home at dusk, the night watchman closes the ponderous doork and begins his weary vigil. It Isn't a very pleasant job, but some body's got to do It, and there's always a man ready for any kind of employ ment that will keep the wolf from the door. Nof that the work Is hard, for the watchman has pnly to see that no marauders get Inside, but it’s lonesome, lonesome! If you don't believe it, ask any man who has tried It. A few years ago a night watchman Imd an experience up there that made him seek other employment. But It wasn't real "hants,” auch as Tom Bray soys flit about there now when night comes on. This was a phantom con jured In Watchman Smith's (which Isn’t his name, by the way) brain by John Barleycorn. Happened this way: Smith came on duty at the usual time. He'd been on the job some time and knew how lone some the big building was In the still hours of the night. It hod got on hU nerves somehow. Not that he was su perstitious or afraid of anything that walked In shoe leather. But the huge, vacant, shadowy pile of stone and granite made It a creepy place. So Watchman Smith fortified himself COMMITTEE NAMED TO ARRANGE DINA The annual meeting and dinner of the Chamber of Commerce to be held the flrat week In January was one of the main topics of discussion nt the monthly meeting of the board oT direc tors Tuesday afternoon. •* This discussion led to the appoint ment of the following committee on ar rangements: Hon. Sam D. Jones, retir ing president, chairman: Hon. J. Will* Pope, president-elect, and Mr. Walter G. Cooper, secretary.

Foreman, Forrest Adair, J. T. Onnc and F. J. Paxon. with a goodly flask of corn distillation. As the night wore on he sipped coneo- latlon from It more frequently, until near daybreak he didn’t care much what happened. Unhappily he loit hie bearlnge In hie rounds. In the main rotunda entering from Hunter etreet stands (he great marbla atatue of Ben Hill. That proved Bmlth'a undoing. He got down In the other end of the building, but he didn't know It. They found him early In the morning sitting on the etepe, leading to the eu- preme court rooms, weeping as If hit heart would break. "What’e the trouble. Smith?" »ome one aeked. "Hell's to play," he moaned. "Some body got In here last night and carried off that Ben Hill etatoo. And I'll have to pay for It, an' 't mus' hare coet a pile o' money. Me fer the farm agin.” The Hill atatue weight about twenty tone. Smith It plowing now, they eay, and has no complaint.
