r True, But Hard to BelieT.
If truth is stranger than fiction
this "story. is going to be a strange
one with all the necessary trimmings.
Some there be who will refuse to be
lieve what is ) about to f&llow but ; it
is true : and can be proven.
About ten by the clock ' Sunday
night when the church-goers and
others were promenading Main street
and eajoying such climate as this
place affords the attention of several
was drawn to a man wlio- seemed to
take huge delight In marching up
and down the street eagerly scanning
the signs before-all the buildings cn
both sides of the street. This was kept
up for perhaps an hour or two and
curiosity . was intense" among those
who- ha!d followed the antics of this
fellow. Much speculation was in
dulged In when the chaser seemed to
grow warmer .cm ' the part of this
wanderer and the heat of constant
tramping back and .forth compelled
him to discardl his coat. A few min
utes later the collar was' tern off as
if in a frenzy , and held tightly in one
hand .while the other hand was con
cerning itself In making more ex
pressive the imprecations -which
were being hurled at what seemed to
be the perversity of fate or some other
inanimate object. ; Finally curiosity
cc-uld endure no more an one of" the
most ' inquisitive spectators of this
marathon " up and down Main , street
ccosted the gentleman in question
and requested to know the Wherefore
of such conduct. The gentleman re
plfed that, he was' stopping at the
Kentucky Home and wanted to know
if it had been moved in the last few
hours. Upon being told that no news
of a such a thing had become . gener
ally ) known and that the said Home
was doing business at the . ame old
stand, the gentleman wiped the per
spiration from his brow and request
ed to be directed there.
'- He ' had actually become lost on
Main street and could not find 'his
way . to the ' Kentucky Home. If this
seems .to be a little too incredulous
for belief, it can be substantiated by
three or four of the most prominent
men In the city. , They told me and
I am telling you. : , ': "
-' A sad -awfully sad accident oc
curred on Main Street last night. A
negro with a . smile across his face
expressive of watermelon and chick
en, had the misfortune to- drop a
quart of - whiskey on the cruel nave -ment,
and needless to say, lost all the
contents of, said bottle. . The catas
trophe occurred . almost directly in
front of the past-office and at a time
when the street was crowded with
visitors. Many commiserated with' the ;
colored brother on his irreparable loss;
the - ardent ' stuff which is gua'ran- j
teed to make a rabbit spit In a bull
dog's face, but no amount of sympathy '
could help the 'hurt that animal desire
felt. After the post-mortem obsequies
were over, he shambled off down the
street muttering: , , ' v , .
- "Two. white horses, side by side
Lost' my liquor, and "ise" mortified"

Ingenious Hostess. . '
The hostess who has experienced
the confusion of -seating 'a large; num
ber of guests at small tables will ap
preciate the device of one woman who
accomplished it gracefully.
V The guests were to be seated-In sev
eral rooms at tables holding six and
four. The hostess made an alphabet
list of guests and hung it" in the hall.
Opposite the name ' of each woman
was the number of the table and the
room in which it was set On the
tables, which each had. its separate
floral - piece, was a number cut from,
gilt paper and placed in the center of
flowers so it ; could be quickly seen.
Place cards were used, as at an or
