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.
