Refreshing His Memory.
At 10 o’clock last night, says
the Birmingham Age-Ilerald, a
traveling man stepped tip to
the clerk’s desk at the Hillman,
and with some agitation said
Cierk Graves:
v v Mr. Graves, 1 have just come
from a man who says he is one
of your old schoolmates. He
told me you and he were old
friends. His name is John
Smith, and he used to live at
Pumpkinville. I)o you know
him?”
“Smith! Smith!” said Graves
wouderingly.—“John Smith of
l’limpkinville. I don’t recall
him just now. What’s the mat
ter with him? Is lie in jail?”
“In jail!” exclaimed the trav
cling man. “Why, no. lie’s
just home from Alaska where lie
made $ 200 ,ODD digging gold in
the Klondike, and he’s come
back to Alabama to spend the
money. A
“Oh, yes, to be sure! I 5 ’ said
Graves. “Why* what was l
thinking about! Smith—Johnny
Smith, of Pumpkinville, three
miles from Sassafras? Why, I
shonhl-say-l-db-kmnv-hini! John¬
ny and 1 used to iisli together in
the creek for minnows and hang
our clothes on the same stump
when we went in swimming.
Say, if you see Johnny, give him
my love, and tell lnm I’m com
ing round to see him when I get
oil’ in the morning.’’
Phoebus and His Car.
The cook had struck, says the
Chicago Record-Hera 1 d .
nurse had struck. The maid had
struck. With a sickening fear,
flip great man heard a confused
murmur outside. It be c a m e
louder, increasing to a horrible
din like unt> that produced
the Roman mob. He heard his
name shouted above the awful
roar and urged hv his wife,
at last ventured to a window,
“People,” lie cried, “why have
you struck? What do you want?
l have tried to deal fairly with
you. What is your grievances?”
The coachman, who was acting
as leader of the crowd, stepped
forward, saying:
“We were mattered out by the
head of the Teamsters’ Union.”
♦ What has the Tean,*te r > s
Union to do with me or the way
• my house Is run?”
“You have a statue of Apollo
your hall.” *
“Yes, it is one of my choicest
possessions. It is a great work of
art. 1 am very proud of it.”
“You must pull it down and
have it thrown out of your house
before we can return to work,
We have our orders from the
Ton icailisieie meters’ Union luuu., ”
“This is preposterous.
has my statue of A^llo to
with you or your duties? And
where does the Teamsters’ s
Union Union comei rnme in 9 ”
.
“It seems,” the coachman re¬
plied, “that Apollo and Phoebus
were the same party, and it’s
reported on good authority that
Phoebus used to he a non-union
driver. We’ve got our orders.
We can’t work for a man
sets up a statue of Phoebus, the
sca E ‘ n kis hall.
Realizing the force’ of the ar
gument, the great man yielded,
It- was the first time strikers had
flight him unprepared to
go on with a new set of hands.
Real “Little Breeches.”
In a letter to the San Frau
cisco Chronicle'Rev. H. lb llea
cock of that city tells of the in
cjdeut which inspired the late
John Hay to write hi* famous
poem, “Little Breeches. !}
“In the spring of 18152, in a
little town named New Virginia,
about fifty miles south of Des
Moines, la.,” says Mr. Heaeoek,
“a meeting of ministers of the
Methodist Episcopal Church was
being held. The father, mother
and younger members of the
family and the lad referred to
were in at tendance, I was to
preach that evening in the
church,
“After attending the exercises
of the day the parents were
starting home. The father had
hitched the horses into the
wagon and driven up to the gate.
Leaving the the little boy in the
wagon, he went into the house
for his wife and younger child.
Not having fastened the horses,
suddenly they took fright and
started to run away. 1 was in
j the pulpit and announcing
jt-he hymn when a man rushed
j into the church and cried out
that a team had run away, tak¬
ing a little, boy in the wagon
alone.
“Immediately the congreation
j was broken up. Rev. E. II. Wi
I nans, a minister who now lives
in I,os Angeles, took the lead,
(saying. ‘Get your kilters and
j torches and le£ us pray as we
in search of the boy.’ It
j was decided to lire a gun when
j the-boy should be found.
“The night was dark and cool,
. drizzling ram w^s tailing. Anout
i a mile from the village the team
| and wagon were found in a gulch,
The fore wheels had fallen into
j this and the fore end of the j
| wagon bed had slidden off so j
; that the boy, not over 4 years old,
11 think had climbed out. But
he was not to to lie found '
i Nearly half a mile from where
j the wagon was foqud there was
an old log house used tor herd
ing lamps the needed sheep replenishing As torches and »»0 ] i
:
rHof of tho builfJin S was of
clapboards, it was decided to go
there and get these boaids b,I j
torches.
Arriving at the place, the
father of the hoy in an he agony heard of j
grief told the party a •
J noise inside, which he thought!
I sounded like a child’s voice.
On the door and , enter- , i
opening
the little fellow was
found standing by a trough m
which the sheep were fed sui
I rounded by sheep and lambs,
be alarmed, - -
He did not seem to
but was delighted to see his
father.
“A few years after this the
Rev. Mr. Wmans was preaching

Mr, Hay was in the congrega-

tion. In illustrating some point,!
the preacher narrated the inci¬
dent. Out of it grew the poem.
I saw an article in a California
magazine a few years ago refer¬
ring to the origin of this poem.
“I wrote to Mr, Hay detailing
the facts as 1 have written above,
and received a very courteous
and appreciative reply.”

Put Jennie. With White Women.
Jennie Brown, not Lizzie or
Mary, daughter of Bishop Brown,
was given a position in the in¬
terior department, being assign¬
ed to the paste room, as it is
called. The work there is sort

other employes in the several
rooms which constitute (he paste
room arc white and almost all
the others are white women.
The case of William 11. Tay¬
lor, a Georgia negro, is recalled
by old clerks in the interior de¬
partment. Taylor was appoint¬
ed to a clerical position under
the, Harrison administration
about t wo years before the (5l ev
eland administration came in,
and was drawing a salary of nine
hundred dollars a* year.
Shortly after the democrats
took charge there was a shukeiip
in the interior department, and
Taylor was reduced six hundred.
Some men who were interested
in Taylor called the attention of
the secretary to his case urging
special consideration because* of
Taylor’s being from Georgia, audj
and a little later, a white woman
clerk was reduced from nine him- •
dred to six hundred and the ne¬
gro, Taylor, was given the place
thus made vacant, being rein¬
stated to ids former salary of
nine hundred dollars. He is still
in the department, drawing ui
