PROVIDENCE. |
But the Others Declared That It
Was Only a Drummer’s Tale.
“You know,” began the •srum
mer as a soft and tender s i> ile play
ed over his f».cp, ‘‘l was in St.
Louis about two years ago and
wanted to get a check cashed. Like
any nth l r so I went to the bank i
al 'he, though knowing I would
have to be identified. The teller
t irew the chick hack at me, and I
nauded him my card, a lot. of old
left rs, the strawberry mi rk on my
left arm. and all that, but it was no
go. I must get some on« to identify
me, though I didn’t know a soul
in all that town. Do any of you be
lieve in Providence?”
One impulsive individual s».id
he did,|hut the others maintaied a
discreet silence.
We'l, I want out on the street
and wandered up and down, won
dering what I should do. In the
midst of the rush Icaught sight of
a familiar face, and I soon had
the man by the arm.
“Sft? I Yeu remember me don’t
you?’ I askedi
‘‘No, sir.’
“Never saw me before?*
“Never.’
“But you are io error. Didn’t
you used to liv» in E mira, N. Y.?
“I did, sir ’
“Lived on Cherry stie t?’
“Y*s sir,’
‘‘Had a daughter named Maud?’
“Sir, who are you ?’
“Had a daughti r named Maud.
Don't you remember that on a ce;-
t-iin occasion you cam" |tiom» and
found a young man sitting up with
her and booted bim out doors?’
“Ah! Ido remember.’
‘ vVell, lam the hooted young
man of the dim past. Come down
to the bank and identify me as
Dobbs.’
“ ‘With the greatest of pleasure ’
“Gentlemen,” continue! the
drummer as he heaved a sigh, * t
is needless to add that I got my
money, and that ths old man had
a cocktail with me.”
“But it was funny you should
admit that he booted you out of
his house,” protested one of the
audienee.
“How funny? I was there, and
I was booted. Why conceal the
fact? He was the girl’s father. I
don’t belong to any church, but I
do seek to be a good man, and I
ask you if the hand of Providence
was not in it? I sparkagirl. Years
elapse, and just when I want $250
on a check to get out of St. Louis,
1 run across the hooter, and he
helps me out. If not _Providence,
what is it?”
“It’s a blamed old drummer’s
yarn,’’growled two or three men
chorus, and then all rose up to
drink another lemonade.—Detroit
Free Press.
QUIETLY DONE
WillisMfey Lynched at Princeton
ForSAssaulting a Young Lady
Henderson, Ky., October 16
Willis Griffey, the negro who as
saulted Miss Lena Berry,iu Chris
tian Count? about one mouth ago,
and was soon afterwards arrested
and quietly conveyed to jail at
Princsten for fear of lynching, met
death at the hands of a mob near
the latter place, about 2 o’clock
this morning.
The lynching party consisted of
35 or 40 determined citizens, who
rode from the scene of the crime
nearly 40 miles away.
So quietly did the men enter
the town, secure their prisoner and
depaat with him that the people of
Princeton were not aware that a
lyi c.inghad occurred until Grif
fey’s body was found dangling
from the limb of a tree about a
mile from the,perforated with bul
let holes and otherwise mutilated
The jailor had no opportunity
to resist, being surprised and over
powered, and the keys secured af
ter searching the house. Griffey’s
► fair victim belongs to one of the
wealthiest families of Christian
