Mrs. ' Simpson" was" a young woman, of excellent chatarter, and her untimely death Is a source of much regret among her hundreds of friends. The discovery of a 'possum In a pipe organ at Clayton, in eastern North Carolina, has been equaled here ly the finding of a rabbit In the furnace at the home of Mr. N. W. Th.np, The furnace Is one of these plpeless plants thnt heats the entire house. Noticing that It was not fur nishing the usual amount of heat Thursday morning, Mr. Tharp sent his young son down In the basement to make an investigation. He was gone but a short while before he was heard calling his father In an excited lone of voice. "Papa." he shouted, "there is a gray animal in the fur nace." Rushing down to see what was interfering with the heat. Mr. Tharp found a big, gray rabbit in the ash tray. It was still alive, but badly burned on one side, caused by jumping up against the hot grate in an eflort to escape. V 5 I "I sometimes wish something would happen; it's so dull out here," wrote Mr. Frank Plyler, who is Bta tloned on the l S. S. Albany at Vladivostok, Siberia, in his last let ter to his pnrents, Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Plyler. His wish has been grunt ed. A Lieutenant, attached to the U. S. S. Albany, was recently shot by a Japanese sentry, and the affair has developed Into an internal Iniml question. The funeral of the Lieu tenant was held at the Y. M. C. A. building at Vladivostok en Jan. 18. The Russian and foreign military of ficials and the civil authorities at tended the obsequiee. General 01, the Japanese military commander, was present. The coffin was covered with wreaths. It was taken along side the Albany, mounted on n gun carriage. A salute In honor of the man was a lawyer, a jolished gen tleman of handsome appearance, but given to writing sentimental love let ters. He proposed marriage. She ac cepted, and was on her way to meet him, when she learned that he was a bigamist, having three wives. Thus, hr second love affair, like the first, had a disastrous ending. Again thrown upon her own resources, she added another book to her collection, filling its pRges with love letters writ ten by the lawyer-bigamist. She cents each for the is reported that she they I disposed of a number of them in Mon roe. She left Thursday morning for another part of the state. A Charlotte man was the rictim of nn amusing practical Joke here Tuesday, so The Journal 'learns. While trying to sell a certain local merchant a bill of goods, he casunlly remarked that he would like to have a drink of liioir county "moon shine." "That so?" asked the mer chant. The traveling man assurred his customer that nothing would please him better. The merchant spoke iu an undertone. "I've got a few quarts here that belong to a this week. Mrs. Will Heath played Lee'a march and then the twenty seven members present lustily sang together the soul-stirring "Dixie." Following this Mrs. N. M. Red fern very beautifully read "The Little Rebel." A number of Stephen C. Foster's old and well known South ern gongs were sung. Mrs. Ed Crow read a splendid sketch of the life of General Jackson and "The Sword of Lee" was sung by Mrs. Jeff Sew ell with accompaniment by Mrs. E. S. Green. "Over Their Graves" was then read by Mrs. May Meacham. This was of especial Interest since it was written by Prof. Sfockard. who, nt one, time, lived In Monroe and taught In the "old high school." In conclusion that grand old hymn "Let Us Pass Over the River" was sung, these being the last words uttered by General Jackson.

Like a flash the man's hand went for his check book. The merchant, seeing a trade had been made, walked hurriedly to the rear of his store. Presently he returned bearing in hl hand a quart bottle wrapped up in paper. The traveling man handed over his check, and after thanking profusely his friend for his kindness, walked out of the store with the package under his arm. Late that afternoon, while on his way back to Charlotte in com pany with an acquaintance, the afore said traveling man told of his find. "Let's Rtop and take a drink," he said. The car was halted under the cover of some sheltering trees. Gin gerly he unwrapped his precious package. He held It to the light. It was beautiful to behold. Sparkling, golden-colored liquid! It brought forth memories of a by-gone age in which brass' railings shined, and glasses clinked. Still under Its al luring, seductive spell, he pulled the cork. There was a "pop," lust like the noise made by genuine 100-proof rye whiskey when it is opened. He raised the bottle to his Hps, but as the sparkling liquid began to trickle down his throat, he suddenly became a disillusioned man. He had bought a quart of apple vinegar!
