Tne Time Is Near at Hand When to Sleep is but Misery. "Well, its time all honest people were at home in abei," said a young man an up town clerk, a few nights ago when he met a newspaper reporter about eleven o'clock, going across the Gay street bridge. The young fellow hurried on to his room and was soon lost in umber, dreaming of that dreadful hour of six o'clock when he would have to get up and hurry to the store.

In his assertion that it was time all honest people were in bed he is not alone, for there are scores of people right here in Knoxville who tnink tnat wnen ten ciock comes tnat everyone except perhaps the policemen go home and go to bed. tney don't nor are all the people who' stay up all night dishonest. It would perhaps- be surprising to many to know how many stay up all night, forced to do so through their duties. One may visit all these night owls as they may be called, and ask them if they preferred working at night. The general reply would be that they did not, and no matter how long they work at night, it seems they never get used to it nor rest so well as when they seek rest when nature's impulse says.

As a rule tne nignt owls all over tne town know each other well, where if they worked in the day light they would have but a passing This is mostly because after tne late hours so Xew people are up compared with day-time, that they soon find each other out. This is noticed more by the telephone girl than any one else. A young lady who had been a night operator for a longtime, was heard to say that after a certain hour at night she could tell exactly what number was wanted wnen sue saw tne number which called, and even the tel ephone girl herself, doesn't mind so much if yon calT her up about two o'clock as she would during the busy portion of the day. The big policeman who walks his beat during the dead hours of night and sees every thing, that passes is the one to ask about tne night workers. lie knows them all and their business, and as a rule they know him and his business.

The night clerk or man who does commercial work at night says he can do twice as much work as he can in day time. In the night his time is all his and he goes perhaps the entire time undisturbed. In Knoxville there are more night owls than one would expect, unless they stopped to count them up- Besides the ones already mentioned, the railroads have a large number of men at work all night, including yard-masters, engineers, firemen, clerks, dispatchers, etc. All the big mills and factories have night watchmen and daring seasons of the' year rail their mills with full night forces. The night clerks at the hotels should not be forgotten among the night owls.

The telegraph messengers and operators are termed as night workmen also, but they do not have to work all night in Knoxville, as a rule getting off duty by half past two. The time will soon be here now when the night workers' life will become a torture when he attempts to sleep. Between the flies, mosquitoes and heat, he hasn't a ghost of a chance. the try and best NO No THURSDAY. Dots frcm tbe Diamond of a Liocal Interest.

The jolly drummer has chosen his day to celebrate.

The great annual blowout of the knights of the grip will take place Fr'day, May the 24th. A representation of the drummers' association met yesterday at the chamber of commerce rooms and proceeded in a hilarious way to get things in line for their great event. Milton Shields called the house to order and John Donelson was chosen secretary. Treasurer J. O.

Lotspeich read his report for the last picnic. It showed the net receipts to be Sl.082.58, which was divided equally between the St. John's Orphanage, King's Daughters and Margaret McClung Industrial Home. The election of new officers resulted as follows: Will Dick, president; Rube Payne, vice president; John Donelson, secretary, and W. R.

Johnson, treasurer. The president will appoint the executive committee and other committees later. The chair appointed J. Lotspeich, John Donelson and James Campbell as a committee to confer with the men controlling picnic" sites and receive sealed bids from them. On motion of Milton Shields it was decided to divide the proceeds the same as last year.

A motion to print 2,500 invitations to send to merchants who buy goods in Knoxville was passed, but an amendment to admit them free was tabled. On motion of J. O. Lotspeich the association voted to charge everybody at the gate, the prices to be the same as last year, 50 cents for men and 25 cents for ladies. By a unanimous vote the date was fixed Friday, May the 24th.

Considerable argument arose on the point, however, but in defiance of all superstition they selected Friday as usual just to test the fates. While the advisability of he day was under discussion, Mr. Rube Pay ne eolemnlv arose and facetiously in quired if the moon would be full at that time. When asked what difference that would make, he remarked that he did not want the moon and tb-association to get furl at the same time. He was much pleased when the cal endar was consulted and the announce ment made that there would pe no conflict on the point in question, as the nocturnal luminary would be in the watermelon rind stage.

'That's-aU right," replied Mr. Payne. f'We don't mind a little thing like that, but we don't want to meet s-uch planets as the moon in' full t- Gibson and Evans. To the Editor of The Txebttnb.

The facts are that Evans wanted the Captain to take charge of hiR case before the committee, but the wily "chief of Hooker's staff" for once put his egotism behind him and daf-clined, assigning as a reason that he did not want to give the oppositidn a chance to "discuss his bogus military record before the Tennessee legislature." If the distinguished cattle-herder is afraid to have his military career a subject of talk by the State legislators, what will he do' in Congress, where "reliable records" are safely preserved within a stone's throw of the capital?
