THE RICHMOND FALLADIUai AND SUN-TELEGRAM, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1908.

Little Stories of Interest Concerning Festival Happenings

Some of the best features of the fall festival were the little odds and ends Incidents that happened here and there, witnessed by a select few or by thousands. For instance: Last night several members" of the reception committee for the military ball stood resplendent in their evening dress at the main entrance of the coliseum. Suddenly a young fellow in olive drab uniform and campaign hat presented himself at the door. The reception committee barred the way. "This entrance is for officers," said one of them. "I'm an officer," he said quietly and a smile played across his face. He was promptly admitted and apologies were pro fused. "Said one of the committee to another," officers and privates In their Held uniforms all look alike to me." About the only preceptable difference was that the officers wore leather leggings. Here Is another: Early Tuesday evening a Main street saloon keeper telephoned to a north end saloon keeper and said, "say, have you any bartenders you can loan me this evening? I've got more people than I can handle." "You can have all the bartenders I

History. When Sir Robert Walpole retired Into private life time hung heavy on kls hands, and Horace exerted aimeelf to amuse bis father. One day be offered to read to him. "What will yon read, child?" asked Sir Robert wearily. Horace suggested history. "No. no." replied the veteran statesman; "not history, Horace; that can't be true."

have and myself, also. Even the trains have stopped running in this section of town," came the reply over the wire. And here is another: About 8:15 last evening a large automobile, gaily decorated, shot down Main street In the

direction of the court house. Near the corner of Eighth and Main streets it stopped. "Say, what time does the automobile parade start?" queried the driver of a man standing on the street. "The parade next year will start at 7:30. They've pulled of this year's parade," he replied, then darted Into the Crowd. And another: A big throng surrounded the skinned diamond at Athletic park yesterday afternoon. Not knowing how many men constituted a regiment, the crowd thought the drill would be held in this small space. Suddenly the crowd opened up and a large number of small boys made a wild dash in the direction of the north fence. From the fence tops and every section of the big lot came the cry, "here comes the soldiers." Immediately the immense crowd began to surge and toss like an angry sea. However, the announcement was premature. The boys who had started the excitement were chasing a rabbit, which they finally captured.

Fair Warning. The answers in the correspondents'

column of a German journal contain

the following: "P. S. We really thiuk that you had better not visit as In or der to receive an explanation of the

reason why we have rejected your manuscript. Our staircase, we beg to

Inform you, has twenty-four steps, and we do not keep a bolster at the bottom."

WATTEHSOH SPEAKS Kentucky Journalist Makes First Political Address Since 1892.

REPUBLICANS DENOUNCED.

Louisville, Ky., Oct. 9. Henry Watterson presided and was the principal

speaker at a Democratic rally in the

Masonic theater here last night.

As this was Mr. Watterson's first pol

itical speech since 1S02, and will prob

ably be his only platform utterance

during the present campaign, much in

terest was manifested.

Others who addressed the assemblage

were former United States Senator Wil

liam Lindsay and Congressman Swagar

Shirley. Mr. Watterson said in part: "I truly rejoice that I have lived to look upon a reunited Democracy. I

was born in a Democratic camp during

what proved a bad year for Democrats,

and attained my majority just in time

to see the party go over the precipice on sectionalism to what seemed ruin.

Says There Is Only One Issue. Would Vote for Bryan. "If I were a .Republican I would vote for Bryan. "If I were a Republican I would let the big chief with his big stick' go hang. "If I were a Republican I would turn my back upon a candidate, no matter how personally acceptable, when he represents, the vicious methods of ring rule and the steam roller. "Whatever usefulness the Republican party ever possessed It has for the time

outlived. It stands today a menace to equal taxation and economic administration, if not to orderly government and free institutions. Renounces Self-Glorification. r "All the perspectives of truth and soberness and common sense are lost amid the roar and rant and cant of self-glorifying laudation and self-accusing promises of reform, with Aldrich and Cannon, with Payne and Dalzell, and 'Sunny Jim Sherman for their examples. "Having pitched the campaign on a false note, starting ou.t with a man of straw on a platform of imposture, no argument is too absurd, no illustration is too rank, for the men and the interests that do not mean to be dislodged if fraud and force can save them. Calls White House JOng's Palace. "The White House is already the palace of a king. "The president Is already a sovereign in everything except the name. ' "Why should not a member of th court circle blurt it out that Taft is expected merely to hold down the job for Roosevelt, since It was thought premature to run Roosevelt for the immediate succession?

Mule Had Good Memory. "I was at Tampa when a negro team-

Bter was instantly killed by an army

mule, and it furnished a good illus

tration of the wonderful memory that a mule has.

"The negro teamster used to pound

that nu,e unmercifully. Instead of

using strategy and coaxing bis mule

into submission, he used to beat it

hard enough to kill a horse. Well, for

two months the teamster didn't drive that mule. But the mule never forgot

him. He never made any attempt to

injure his new driver, who knew enough to treat him decently. But one day the old teamster came back. The

mule remembered him. He waited with as much docility and patience as an ox until he was harnessed, and then, when the old teamster was off

his guard, he let fly with both heels, caught the negro in the pit of the stomach and stretched him out as dead as a hammer. The other teamster was standing right there by him, but that

mule didn't make any attempt to kick him. He had just been laying for the fellow who walloped him two months before, and when be had finished him he was satisfied." Buffalo Horse World.

1 How a Good Bluff Worked. At 10 o'clock the cashier in a certain establishment was seized with influenza. At noon the bookkeeper gasped and collapsed. Both men were sent home In cabs, and the crippled establishment was left to get along as well as it could in such unforeseen circumstances. At 1:30 the typist announced that he must go and put his feet into hot water or his dissolution would follow. He was given permission to save his life. At 2 o'clock the three clerks suc

cumbed together. They attributed the

attack to some fish of which they had Incautiously partaken. The proprietor was now left alone, save for the presence of one small office boy. Presently he arose and put on his hat with a determined air. "Tommy,'' he said, "I think you and I had better go and see the game too!" Liverpool Mercury.

"Clara," said the father sternly, "I should punish you for your disobedience. There is, however, no need to in this case, for God has already punished you."

Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 9. Mrs. Dr. W. A. Lanning, nee Mac Rea, of a wealthy Greenville (Miss.) family, lost a husband last night But that was not all her loss. When she awoke In her palatial bridal apartments at the Gayoso Hotel, she was minus her trousseau. Furthermore she did not even possess the nightgown in which she had retired on her marriage night after an elaborate wedding supper, which the groom had, with a millionaire's nonchalance, charged to the apartments in which she awoke. Mrs. ; Lanning would not receive a bellboy in her apartments to make complaint, although the groom of a

few hours had magnanimously left behind . the bedclothes. She received a maid from the hotel, told to her a sad story of desertion, was furnished with clothes and allowed to proceed to her Mississippi home. Mrs. Lanning was married to her husband, who claimed to be a wealthy miner of Durango. Mexico, yesterday afternoon.
