Renresentattve J. Thomas ncu.n, vm
Alabama, is in a class by himself.
If any one doubts that fact, it would
be welt for him to make inquiry of
any one of the thousands of Kentuck
ians th-it have heard the gifted Ala
bama Congressman speak during- the
Democratic campaign that i rapidly
drawing to a ciose. Here are a few of
Mr. lleflin's best anecdotes:
'Uncle Rufus was sn old-time dar
key, and one day he called the little
nejtioos on the place tp him and told
them he was going to show them how
to ride a mule. 'You see Ah draw; Vic
reins close in; den Ah mounts Mm an'
Ah slips mah foci tr.u'.ah his To legs

him the litte hammer-headed Tcx;'s
mule vent up in the air in the s'-npe
of an iiitenvgntioa I1-1'11 thl'pw
old Uncle Rufus three rods aw-.iy into
the plowed ground. Uncle Rufus, hu
miliated but still retaining his wits,
arose dulinrt himself and said: "Dafs

An old negro that operated a hack
at r.rimintfhum swapped his horse for
an old cavalry charger. lie was doz
ing on the box one day awaiting a
passenger when a gentleman carrying
a suit case ran out of the Tutwiler
Hotel and beckoned to the negro. "I
want to get to the Union Station and
I'm in a big hurry. Can you get me
there quick?"
"Yassuh, Ross, Ah reckon Ah kin,'
answered the old darkey gathering up
the reins. 'Hop in. You see, Ah'm
got a new boss heah. He's a cahalry
hoss an' I doan know much er.niji
him yit, but Ah speck he kin git you
at de deppo in good time'
"'Woll, that's lucky for me. You

how to handle him. Now, you holler
at him "Attention" and then "Charge"
and when you want the horse to stop
holler "halt."
"Yat sah, Cap'n,' said the negro.
The darky pulled up the lines and
gave the first of the suggested com
mands. When he hen.nl the familiar
word 'Attention' the old horse stood
ready to bolt. Then the negro cab
driver gave tlte second command.
'Charge,' and the horse started out on
the run. He fdrly flew overthe
pmooth pavement, dragging the sway
ing hack behind him. As the convey
ance drew near the station tne negro
hollered "Halt," and the horse came to

Too Much For Him
One day an old negro passed by his
master's cupboard and saw a fine
hock of ham. It was nice and brown,
BmeTled so sweet aad looked so appe-
tizing that it made the negro's Month
water. The temptation to become 'the!
T"5or cf that ham hock wa too I
; M- -'nto HV.rland, to he $lk-1
ed the meat ut off the platter and
stuck it in his bosom. 'Ah guess
Marse Jeems wouldn't care nohow ef
he seed me Kii.b his here poke,' he
mused, 'kase dry ain't so much meat
on her no way.'
"With the meat tucked away safely
between the lining of his ragged vest
and his undershirt the negro hobbled
off to church where a pi-oUacted l.ieet
ing wr.s in progress. He took a front
seat and was in time to hear the col
ored parson announce that the text of
his sermon was: "Be Y'e Free From
Sin.'
"As the parson warmed up to his
subject, Uncle Remus grew restive.
" 'Ah say unto you all, bruddern ami
sistcrn, take dat sin from out youah
buzzum! the preacher shouted in a
stenorian tone that could be heard for
a block. This spiritualistic admonition
troubled the negro worshipper on the
front seat of the church and he slyly
felt his bulging coat front to make
doublv sure the coveted ham hock was
safe.
" 'Then the voice of the preacher
rose again: "Ah says unto you all
take d.:t sin from out'ti youh buzzom."
"Uncle Remus grew more lidgcty.
Again the parson, looking directly at
the old negro sitting in front of the
pulpit, shouted: 'Ah repeats, breddern
and sistcrn, take dat sin from out youh
biri'.zom.'
"Uncle Remus could stand it no
longer. With a look of indignation
and desperation on his wrinkled face
he threw back his coat, ripped open
the front of his vest, grasped the cov'
eted ham hock in his knotted black
hand and hurled it at the person. 'Go
ahead and take it, ef you is gwine to
raise so much fuss ovah such a measly
affaih,' he shouted as he hobbled out
of the church."
