There were mvot porter knocking about the station. The leading lady evidently mistook a Chronicle man for an Observer man. Fhe kept her eye o Intently on him that he walked by her way and caught Borne remark from her about "The best newspaper in. the country nit. and about :4 a week reporters." . . The troupe got on the car. and the boys went onto the car, too, not to ' bedevil the troupe, but just to go on the oar, as one does who goes on a vr. you know. In (talking among themselves one of the boys expressed his opinion that It surprised him that the troupe had enough money to get away so email was their house the ight before. Then the boys left the car end stood under the shed, - -v. n was not long, after they began ' Standing thus, before they noticed the whole show approaching, headed by the author and finisher of the play. 4 "The man who wrote that notice for I that paper," said he, "has a reputa tion all down the Hne for taking bribes." 4 ."That Is a lie." said one of the boys. " "What did you say?" asked the showman. '."That you are a liar," repeated the reporter. i j."WeM. sir," said the showman. That's the first time I've been called a 1lar since I've been In the South!" r The boys did not dispute this, and v presently the showman shitted: "But the man I'm looking for." said . ylie "l the man who said he was sur prised the company had enough to get 1 out of town with." vKt-JTm ' the man," said the same ' spokesman, chesttly, for after the lie ; lisd pRMfd so easy he did not antlcl lat trouble. "I'm the man. ' said he. V'Now, what are you goln' to do about ,';4tr;i He put his fist against the inan'H rlba and pushed him. Of course he did nothing about It. Some of the boys ;v". say that the train people were so In r teres! ed In the little drama that they ' ' actually held the iron horse a minute .- of-so over time. The strapping news-boy says that even after the train had gone it came back to the station and stayed there ten or twenty minutes. The reporters, however, had scattered, 1 and it Is not known why the train came uwck. 170,000 CONTRACT LET.

II. Jordan It Co, THE GALfc OF A BOY. A Youngster -fiefurea a Job- by Slsrer ; Cheek and Takes cnargfl jmmeai 1 A prominent machinery matt- of the city advertised 'in yesterday'a Observer for an offlca boy. Tha natna of the firm was not signed to tha advertise ment but in tome mysterious way a messenger hoy found out who it .was that wanted a lad .of .parta and un dertook to; secur t position over h telephone. ' ' . ' -' ; "Central, ' give ' me r imi," ald the boy. '.' !. "Thl a 48644,'f ' said the man at tha other end of, the - line, ' "Tea, air, 'I sea by to-day's Observer that you. are trying to 'get ah-office boy," announced the lad. ' ' .."So X AmV declared, tha machinery ' "Well, : my name la Johnnie; Jones, and J would Uk very much, tp avo the Job." "Tour name Is not familiar to me; In fact. I do not know you. Call at mv office and let me look you over. I would greatly prefer seeing you face to face and talking it over with you be fore making a deal with you." "I understand that." said tne :ty. but I thought we might as well close this matter over the 'phone, and with out further delay." The man at the other end told tne boy to drop around and get tha Job. THE DOG TAX IDEA POPULAR. T1m Average Farmer la In Favor of Fixing Such a Tax and the ext IcglMlature Will be Asked to Do It. "I am with you on that dog tax," said a well-to-do farmer to an Obser ver man yesterday, "and I'll do what I can to help to bring It about. I own a shepherd dog that X would glad ly pay a dollar or whatever the tax happened to be, on. I think we ought to have a dog- tax. There are several reasons for It, In the first place it would help our school fund, and then we could protect our dogs and game. There are dosens of old poor mongrels in my neighborhood, and they eat eggs, kill chickens, turkeys and de stroy young partridges. "Mecklenburg could levy such a tax whether other counties do so or not. The man who has a valuable dog would not mind paying the county something to protect him." The majority of the Mecklenburg farmers seem to favor a dog tax. and It is almost certain that the next Leg islature will be asked to give this county such a law. One gentleman who commended the Idea wants to go a Ifttle further and prohibit minors from carrying uns, but that is a different proposition. THE USES OF A SINGLE BUGGY. A Colored Farmer Marketed a Bate of Cotton In Hla Sunday Vehicle. "Did you ever not the uses to which the farmer puts his buggy?" asked an observant citizen of a newspaper man yesterday. "Well. I don't know that I have." . JuHt look down the street, yonder. and you will sea what I mean." A colored tiller of the soil had a small bale of cotton In his single buggy anr was mounted on top of it. "I stand here and watch the bug glps go out In the afternoons and It Is wonderful what they haul. I have seen everything from a sack of meal to 40 foot lightning rods. It is nothing out of the ordinary to sea three young cnlves in ono buggy, two tied behind and one held In front." Ttio T. P. A. Smoker To-XIglit. Poxt C, the local organization of the Traveler's Protective Association, will give a smoker In the private dining room of the Denny to-night, beglnng at 8:ir.
