scramble for little mean advantages"
over each other; age creeps upon them;
infirmities follow: shames and humilia

vanities: those they love, are tafcen

from a world where they were ofyio

failure and a foolishness. There they
have left no sign that they have ex

a day and forget them forever. ;Then
another myriad takes their place, and

. vOriin of the "Balloon. -
The . word balloon means "a large."
balL" To Montgolfler of Annonayi
France, the invention of the balloon Is
credited. It is said that he was led to
turn his attention to balloon making
from the following incident: ' French
Viundress, wishing to dry a petticoat
quickly, placed it on a basket work
frame- over a stove. ' To prevent the
heat from escaping by the opening at
the top ot the; petticoat she drew the
belt strings closely together and- tlea
them. Gradually the garment dried
and became llehter. and as the stove
continued to give out heat, and rarefy
the air concentratea unaer tne oasxex:

FreTich ofllclals are said to be par

tells several more or less apocryphal
stories to illustrate the state of affairs.
An American lost his' footing, slipped
down an embankment and fell Into a
small, shallow pond. , As he scrambled,
dripping, up. the embankment to the

A Quotation.
f A correspondent wrote toa newspa-;
per to ask the author of this couplet:
How much the fool who -has been sent to
-1-' Rome ; v. VA . . "
Excels the fool who has been kept at
.home! ' .
- He had barely written when he an
swered his own query, having found
the source of the lines and howjie had
misquoted them. They are. from Cow
per's "Progress of Error" and read:
How much a dunce .that hath been sent
. - to rbam -. -
Excels a dunce that nath been, kept at

We are not sure but that,, as Is frequently-
the case with misquotations,
the popular version is better than the

Brains of " Great . Men. "
Brains of great men vary very much.
It is found that jmen of encyclopedic
mind have large and heavy - brains
Gladstone had to. wear a very big hat
with an enormous bed of gray matter
and .1 numerous convolutions. : On the
other hand, men whose, genius Is con
centrated upon one line of. thought are
of small brain and, consequently have
small heads. Newton, Byron N and
Cromwell were In, this class.Kansas

- . BreTTster Was a Dandy.
' Benjamin" Harris Brewster, one . time
attorney general, was a most unique
character. -According ,to" his ; idea, he
was always faultlessly attired, and his
'makeup' once1 seen would never be for
gotten. : He usually wore a beil shaped
white silk high hat ;vrith long whiskers
on It, a plaited andi frilled white shirt
front, witbr a high standing collar, car
dinal necktie or scarf, buff ' waistcoat,
maroon colored ; Prince Albert '- coat
with gold buttons, yellow trousers,
patent leather shoes arid soft' frilled
cuffs, which matched hia. shirt front
around his wrists. . On the. thumb , of,
his left-hand was an. amethyst ring'
encircled with" perfectly matched dia
monds and- a bunch of . old fashioned
seals in heavy gold settings dangled
from his watch; fob. ,; This was his
usual . makeup when he attended to
business at his office, which was in the
old Freedmen's bank building, oppo
site the .treasury department,' or -visited
the United States supreme court, to
participate in cases which concerned
the government. His voice was ipitch
ed In a high key, and. this peculiarity
was intensified by his sartorial 'getup,
which always made him v conspicuous

This Is the largest majortiy thej)erack
crats have won tacthe "-district Jn joUr-
eeii.r years Crawford inaorttyt)y er
Pntchard in 1892,.excee3s his majority
this year.'. Weil 'informed Republicans
really expected Crawford's election, but
in m much as it is difficult t6 get. out' a
full vpie' ybten off years, : they did not
expect so large a 'majority. And natur
ally they "thought th Democrats would
be the loser on a short voteT ; " ' "
Hr?" . Crawford was" asked what he
thought of the vote in thevarious coun
tie3, and he .replied that it ras, in the
neighborhood of what he thougbt it
would be,' except -that the 1 republican
vote in Swain exceeded his expectations
and in Cherokee it fell below, ; And he
further said thatthe majorities in Bun
combe are misleading; that, while Sena
tor Webb has a majority of more than
700 over Col. Lusk; and that his majori
ty over Mr.'Britt is only 461, -yet Mr.
Webb received only 12 votes more than
he received in the county. That it ap-
pears that almost all the democrats had.
voted for him as well as for the local
democractio ticket; and that lt"-further
appears that the republicans had .voted
f or Britt but did not vote thet full
strength for the local republican ticket.
Mr. Crawford says that he has no com-
piatDt against any, but is thankful to
the Democrats of all 'the coftnues and
that they did splendid under the cir
cumstances. Waynesville Courier.

W. T. Crawford was elected over Pro
fessor J. J. Britt as cpngrassman for this
district by a. majority of 909, y a gain of
21 in majority during the past 'two years
and not a loss of 79 as currently 'report
ed yesterday, the statement being based
on the ocial.ngures verified And filed
in the office of the secretary of state . at
Raleigh Saturday afternoon by the state
canvassing board. - J - - - r "

cealing the figure ."1" and making a dif
ference of 100. in the accounting; i
Congressman Crawford was occupied
nearly all day yesterday in endeavoring
to locate the mistake, Mr. Malone fin
nally discovered it and telephoned, the
fact toMr, Crawford. Mri Crawford re
ceived 2,P88 votes in Buncoriibe Kunty,
whereas the erroneous pfiBcial statement
showed that; be received only 2,SS8 vot
es." lhls increases the total; cast for
him in the'jdistrict to 13,169, a majority
of 909 over the 12,260 cast for Mr. Britt.
w in Iaci tnai Luis is not a
presidential year, both-Republican and
Democratio cand ida tes showed a'consld
erable loss in votes, Sir Britt polling 4Q6
less than Judge Ewart and Mr. Craw
ford 385 less than was cast - two years
ago for Mr. Gudgtr. ; ; v;' - :;
It was suggested yesterday that the
members of , ihe canvassing .board In

error is corrected In- the official returns
and not allow the figures to show a Re-
