Cain at Mize’s Place,
Yesterday Morning.
News reached the city this
afternoon of a fracas between
two countrymen out at Perry

is said, became involved in a dis¬
pute over a matter of fifty cents,
which one man owed the other.
It is reported that Allums was or¬
dered from the place by Mize, and
that he waited on the road for
Mayes and subsequently attacked
him. In the euoounter which
followed Mayes’ arm was broken

A Substitute.
A local church appointed a committee
to get subscriptions for a chime of
bells. They had seen nearly all the
congregation. When they went to see
a rather poor member they told him
they would like a small amount toward
It. He promised to give as much as he
could, but he said, “Don’t you think It
would be cheaper to,put a whistle In?"

Force on the Piano.

American Humor.
American humor exists. It dlstln
gulshes the national character. It per
meates all our affairs. It Is not ol
aboriginal descent. It was not brought
from England or Holland by the fa¬
thers. Its saving grace was lacking
under Puritan rule. The humor of
Diedrich Knickerbocker Is all the
more taking because of the absence of
all sense of humor In the subjects of
his chronicle. If our humor came over
from Erin in the first rush of immi¬
gration It was quickly adapted to its
new environment. It was modified
and changed by new circumstances
and conditions, geographical, ethnolog¬
ical, atmospheric. Wherever It came
from It Is a boon which saves us from
a lot of needless trouble and worry.—
