Tti? Knorker mul Kicker - The "liHtc" .tfan m Chiirrh. I have ofteu womiereu wny men chew tobacco. It's about the filthiest habit the American citizen is guilty of in this day and time. Nearly every i 'i town you go into you will find two or three fellows who will stand ou the street corners and "chaw" tobacco and ' spit great pools of tobacco juice on the 1 sidewalk for the lad es to drag their 1 skirts through, barefoot boys *to step ' in and createau inward feeling of disgust in the breast of every person that ' passes by this "congregation of tobacco ! chewers." There's always one in the ! crowd that can chew more and spit ! farther than any of the rest. He can 1 tell more yarns and talk longer about nothing than any man in the country. 1 If you will allow him he will stick his- 1 head right in front of your face and ' spit all over your shirt front, or spoil ' your white vest with tobacco juice, for 1 of course he slobbers when he chews. 1 ' He never takes time to spit when he's 1 talking, letting the wonderful words ( be uses force the tobacco juice from 1 I his mouth. If a man must chew this 5 toooH h<> should doftoat home, or in i private and not on the streets. But the 1 tobacco chewer is not the only nuisance, r there are others. 1 s * k There's the knocker for instance. $ He never see4* any good in anything or i anybody. The town, county, State t ana nation is ?oing to the devil in an automobile on the down grade. He r l never hears the birds sing nor sees ? the bowers bloom. He hasn't enough goodness i;i his soul to spend a smile t $ on the sweetest child or prettiest girl t in the neighborhood. You can tell i him when you see him coming. His fi chin is elevated in the air. His brow d is furrowed with wrinkles. He frowns oh everybody. If you say good morn- b ^ ing or good evening to him his reply t is a grunt. The sun never shines for u him. He never sees any humor in a s joke, it makes no difference how funny g it is toother people. If it rains he's a mad: If the suu shines he's "mad- * der," and if its cloudy he wishes it o would "either rain or clear mv" So v he goe9 through life 'tJP^omposi- sM-.-s self and everybody ire constantly conti AUUW y\ju uo?v o* . Qisxa sorry for you if you nave to v.. J v.h v him very uiuch during your stay here ? on earth. If yov-|^KjGuCr ny goodness b in your soul at a . .. , .ill not meet him in the world to come. He will t be sent to a place especially prepared v for bickers and knc kers, where he can t kick as mtich and a& long as he pleases. * * * Before 1 close this article I have one more person to deal with. In fact, several persons can <come under this head. Every time you go to church J you see him. He's always late?never 5 was known to get there on time. Ht -r always waits until the preacher begins ? his sermon before he comes in. Of . course it doesn't make any difference , to him whether it interrupts the preacher or molests the congregation 1 on account of his late arrival. That'.hia business. He can do as he plea-es ? S He generally stands in the door several , minutes, surveying the audience with v a critical eye before he enters, and feels s : hurt if the entire congregation does ? ! Dot turn completety around to look ai v him. He is there every Sunday on v the threshold of the Lord's edifice? ? H late?and if he doesn't look out when 3 the last trumpet sounds and old Saint u Peter has passed all those who are en- f1 titled to enter through the pearly gates* he will walk up just as the doors ar^ \ being closed. He will then find out what it means to be "too late." I hope I will be on the other side and old j; Saint Peter will let me peep through . the key hole at him as he saunters ofl down the road to stop just this side oi ? the place where Knockers and Kickers 1 are sojourning. * * * ; i Next week I will tell you more about i ^ "The People You Meet Every Day,"' a and maybe some of them will be jusi he opposite of the ones you have read i about this week. * i The Critic. HE DENOUNCED ROOSEVELT, ! ConifrefcMiimn Johnson T?-IIs of 1'iinn- f InmSlenl. j. At the conclusion of the State cam- ? paign meeting held in the court house 1 here yesterday. Congressman Johnson 1 was called on for a speech, aud gave a brief outline of the coming campaign. His remarks on Roosevelt, whom he spoke of as an uncertain spectacular accident, were recieved with great ap- | plause. He said he hoped every Dem ivsi ocrat wouiu lurn oui ana voie at me |jp electiou this fall, not because theje was any danger of South Carolina not going i for Parker, but because he wanted as large a majority as possible to show the I i] State's disapproval of lloosevelt. "Presideut Roosevelt is a dangerous 1 enemy to the South," said Mr. John- ( ston. "He is beyond thecontrol of the conservative men of his party and though he is holding himself under some restraint just on the eve of an elec?! tion, there is no telling what he would do if again placed iu the executive i chair. He is pushing the Crum packer : p bill to reduce the South's representation in Congress, against the wishes 'j of the leading men of his party, and if he succeeds in being elected, he will ? use the pie counter, to carry out his designs against this great section of the country." jji Congressman Johnston then touch ed on me fuumija cuuui uumn, mjfi-, ing it was nothing but a big steal in which the Republic of Columbia had | been robbed or its territory. In closing, Mr. Johnston thanked ?; the people for sending him back to Congress without opposition, saying that he would continue to work as hard in the future as he had done in a? the past.

With the advent of summer comes a feeling of languor which calls the active business man from his strenuous life, and bids him seek rest and repose in nature's nyuiph haunted retreats. There is a subtle wooing influence in the summer season which awakes in civilized man traces of his aborignal instincts, and carries him back to those primeval days when he lay up >n the green "lap of earth" without guide or purpose, savp the luring of desire. This i9 au elemental instinct to throw of!"restraint and to return once more to the mystery of the woods and the music of the waters. It is the revolt sf nature against art. It is this feeling that empties our cities "in the good oldsummer time," ind that transforms the stately belle of society into the kneedrei-s summer *irl of the sea coast, or the rollicking uouutain lass. Now, about two weeks ago this little -ebel instiuct, relic of the infancy of jur race, obtruded itself into the logical md judicial thoughts of Judge Holi tigs worth, aDd soon took complete ^session of hie mind to the utter i: ???>/?f ItiimHrnm nmirt nrnntiH. iiatUliilUlt Ul 1J UUJUl UUI \sv/v??v ire. He heard, as in 'youth "The lilt jf the brook under rock and vine," md its sweet, low murmurings were .imply irresistible. The instinct would not down. Nothng but a descent from the stilted erniue to the "pleasures of the pa'hless vood" could satiate his craving, and 10 descend he did. He called to his aid a number of congenial spirits, good fellows with a simlar craving, and together they resolved o go seining for the "finny tribe." With what luck they seined we are iot informed, but unquestionably be ntered into it most heartily. Not content with the work done by he ordinary methods of seining he tegan feeling for fish under the banks u tbe deep water, wheu lo ! his band ell upou an eel about three inches in liamater. Now the Judge has the reputation of ieiug a very shrewd man, and since bis reputation was at stake he deterriined not to be outwitted even by so lick a thing as an eel. This was a ;reat find if he could only save It. In twinkle he took from his pocket a troog set hook and tied a foot or more f liue attached to it securely about his mst. With a quick movement he tuck; N-e hook lino the eel right near nuou' ?d and then jerked his hand out. tice water. You may well imagine i'Uorror and amazement when, intead of an eel he fetched up an ugly, lissing moccasin! Well, his comrades say that his anics in trying to divide space with this picked reptile would have done credit o a bucking bronco pony. IX REPLY TO MR. CAPERS. L Fri< 11 <1 BclirvcN That Silence Would Rest Recouie Xliin. Y> the Editor of The State. The views printed in The State toay of the United States Republican )istrict Attorney, John G. Capers, on he nomination of Judge Parker as the )eniocratic standard bearer, contain uch strictures and idle queries as to e fead with profound regret by those pbo were once his friends, in every euse of the word. \ It seemed that the licer feelings, of which, it is hoped, 'apt. Capers still possesses a trac6, k-ould suggest at least the cultivation f that silence which would certainly e golden as regards tbe peculiar and ineriable predicament in which a foroer honorable son of Carolina has alr?wed circumstances to place him to he sorrow of his friends, aud grief of hose nearer aud dearer to him. Without goiug into the merits orde? nerits of the case, it is an indisputable act that the subject of this note, bad ie remained in the fold where his uaivity. raising and early environment )laeed him, would be one of the first rjeu to view the selection of such a uau, as we are told Judge Parker is, n a clear light, aud iu the same mauiera>thatof his former friends and issociates. Such being the case the public ex>ression "of his new political 9eutinents does little credit to the bright uind and ouce sensitive heart of my riend of ''days gone by" and still ny fiiend, save in his uncanny political affiliation. In the lijrht of these facts Capt. Capers cannot possibly possess the jewel >f consistency, but it is in his power o refrain from tugging at the heart .trings of the people by quietly enjoyng. if he can, the honor and emoluneuts of his distinguished position.

Wilkesbarre, June 18?Press Clark of this city, owns a bull dog which is earning his own living finding money. For some time he has almost daily been carrying to his master pennies and nickles, and an occasional large piece of silver, that he had found in the street. On two occasions he has found bills, one of $2 and one of $1. But he has topped all previous achievements this week by finding a check for $125 and recognizing its value and his proud master now believes the animal's money finding capacity is unlimited. JJe expects him to bring home bouda and securities at the rate he i9 progressing. Clark was out walking the other day when the dog dashed up to him and laid a slip of paper at hiB feet, barking joyously. Clark paid no attention to it and walked on. The dog again laid it at his feet and barked. Clark still paid oo attention, and the third time the dog dashed in front of him, placed the wet aud dirty piece of paper at his feet and seized his trousers. This time Clark picked up tbe^paper, while the dog showed his joy by barking and wagging his tail furiously. Clark found it was a check for $125, made out to C. D. Simpson, of Scranton. He called up M. Simpson by telephone. The latter said he had been visiting friends the day before on the street where the dog found the check, but he had no idea where h& bad lost it The War in College Yells.

CONJURERS OF INDIAN ? \ The Feats of these Interesting Fak| of India Compared Willi 01 Magicians. ? The wonderful tales that have bee "f told of the feats cf Hindoo conjure j, doubtless derive much of their effei g from the inability of untrained obser 1 ers to report truly what they ha\ . seen. An ordinary trick of sleight < j hand may be so described in all sii . cerity by one having no knowledj the art as to be utterly inexplicabl< J A simple reversal oi the sequence < I movements may be sufficieut to mak I tho described feat an utter impossibil , ty, audyet the relater will demand tht [ you account for it as he thinks he sa1 or admit that the dead or the dev had a hand in it. Herrman went to India to see fc , himself what the jugglers of the oriec , could do, hoping to pick up some ?/ot , derfully clever tricks, but he was u f terly disappointed. Heller, Hertz, Ke , lar and other western magicians, I b< lieve, had similar expericenes in Ir I dia. At least, none of them brough s back any notable addition to his repei tory of illusions. Hermann told m . that the Hindoo fakirs bad a few stoc , tricks depending upon apparatus, sue! i as the mangrove feat and the baske r deception, but were not adept in pur \ sleight of hand. His feat of palmin [ mystified them completely. f For example, a party of native jug I piers boarded the steamship in port an , performed some of their feats. Heri , mann appeared before them with a liv pigeon in bis band, twisted off th i birds head and threw the body ove the ship's side and directed their at tention to the severed head, which h then "vanished." He then held hi empty hand outstretched, and the pi feon alighted upon his palm unhurl he Hindoos were deeply impressed hi if f ha tri/?Lr arao oSmnln HP K a ni vu* ?wv biAVU *? wo oiiupio* J. HO piKWl was a pet bird, trained to come to Herr mann's band. When he pretended t twistkits neck he tucked its head unde its wing and brought into view a pre pared bead wbich had been palmed Tossed over the side, the bird fell unti it got its head out from under thi wing, and so was lost to sight for i moment. While Herrmann was hold ing the attention of bis audience vanishing the fakehead the pigeon wa soaring to get its bearings, and it cami to han^d at the right time. Yet there are travelers who ave: that Herrmann and his fellows sav only the common jugglers of Indiaam that the tales of oriental marvels ari not all lies out of whole cloth. If thei; descriptions of what they profess t< have seen are to be accepted as ap proximately accurate, there is a flm field for psychical research in Hiudu stan, ana our Western mystifiers havt much to learn. Some years ago I met a veteran o the British army who had served sev enteen years in India and bad eeec many strange things in bis time. Hi* name was O'Farrell, and when he re tired he was sergeant major of th? Eighty-fourth regiment of foot. H< was one of the garrison of Lucknow during the siege in the time of the se poy mutinity anb wore the "defense oi Lucknow" medal. I told the veteran mKuf tTorrmann V*o/-I aois? nKr?nfXT nuak u^itmauu uau n?iu a>JUU Lli.luUUl magic, and he replied that it was more than probable that nothing remarkable was done by the sort of fakirs one would be likely to see in a run aboul the country. But O'Farrell declared that he had seen tricks which could noi be peformed by sleight of hand noi explained by any theory based upon the methods of western conjurers, and he referred for specific corroboration to General A. Herber, SirHavelocS Allen, General Thomas Lightfoot, Gen^ eral Barton aod other British officer af note, who, he averred, were preseni at a remarkable exhibition in Luckno** in April, 1859, and made notes of whai they saw. I never have had an appor tunity to verify the references. Sergeant Major O'Farrel prodncet what he said was his diary of 1869, anc from the entries then made he verifiec all tha essen tial features of his narrati vi conjurer before the officers of the gar rison at the requeatof Lieutenant Burn of the Royal artillery, The scene was one of the officers' mess rooms, selectet without consultation with th< performer. "The conjurer," said the old soldiei "came without any apparatus or bag gage other than a casket the sisse of : cigar box- He was a tall, dignifie< man about fiftv five vears of aee an( evidently of high oaste. Heworeatur dan, flowing white robe, white pajama and red slippers. When he entered tb room he bowed to his audience an< then directed upon each person in turr the steady gaze of a remarkable pai of dark eyes. When he looked at m* I could see only those lustrous eyes and my perception of the surrounding became confused and vague. "The man said nothing, but at i slight sign bis single attendant openei the casket aud took therefrom a cash mere shawl, which he spread upoi the floor. The conjurer seated him self upon the shawl and asked in En glish for the loan of a rupee. Colorie '-Montgomery marked a cnip and han ed it to him, ana the conjurer laid i , upon the shawl. He raised the fop i finger of hie right hand, and the coil turned up on its edge. He waved hii hand, and the coin spun across tb< floor some three or four y^rds. At J , sign of the forefinger therupeestoppec spinning and stood on its edge, A ? slight wave of the haud and the coh i danced back, stopped and vanished. ; "An officer asked how the trick ; was done, and the man replied thai i he had done nothing. 'But we saw ; you,' persisted the adjutant. 'You thought you did,' replied the Hindoo, with a smile, 'but the colonel has the ( rupee in his pocket.1 It was as ht 1 had said. All the time his gaze | ranged from face to face of the audi, ence, "A white silk handkerchief was spread before us, and in a momeut 1 saw hundreds of brilliant beetles o| all colors crawling upon it. I uudgec ' my neighbor, a noncoua., and called f his attention to the display. His . head had been turned for an instant, and I feared be would miss the sight Turning his gaae as I direoted, he L seemed puzzled for a moment, and t then he muttered to me that he didn'i i see anything but a white handker chief, and the next second the beetlei | faded from my sight, and I was no sure that I had seen them at all. i "The conjurer unwound a few fee of thread from a ball of spun cottoi aud ca?t the end into the air, where i seemed to float. Presently a cobri J1"" appeared beside him, its head elevatet T and gracefully swayiug, its ton gui darting out and in add its hood spreaq ,n showing the spectacle mark. At i r8 sign the serpent glided up the threat und balanced in midair, and at an Jm other sign it turned, swarmed dowr re the vertical thread and disapDeared th( instant that it touched the floor, j. '"Lieutenant Burns had made twc re attempts to leave the room, but the j Hindoo had caught his eye each time jj: and the officer's purpose seemeb te e fade /[rom biB mind. After the cobra j. trick,however, Burns managed to slip out, and when he came back the ^ conjurer was cross legged in the air, jj two or fcjaree feet above the floor, hi9 left arm 'resting upon a short rod unir der cover of the shawl. Burns stepped |t quickly forward and snatched away . the shawl. No rod was there, and the man was seated ubon the floor, ali* though I could have sworn an instant J before that he was at least two feet a' bove the floor. [ "The diary shows that fourteen . tricks were performed, all of them e bewildering, concerning the details ol k which no two of us agreed exactly. h The last was a striking one. The carpet around the seated conjurer became e violently agitated, and presently a _ number of cobraB?my diary says six, 8 but others saw three, or five?and a . ereen snake aDneared. Thev elided Jj about the man, reared and struck at .. him, and the green snake twined ae bout his neck.

It was all done in silencc, as . things happen in a dream. " "At a nod the attendant gathered q up the shawl by the corners, concealing the snakes and the blood, and at 0 another sign he spread it out again as r unspotted as new snow. No sign of u the slaughtered reptiles remained. "At the conclusion! of the performj ance the man was urged to give 3ome e explanation of his feats, but he smiled a and said he had done nothiug. The . officers insisted that they had seen . things done, but be only shook his 8 nead, repeated. ,You thought so, but B nothing whatever was done,' and went away, r ? ? ? 7 ] Seeking Hornet*. 2 The United States government is r opening up some pine million acres of 3 public lands lying in Nebraska, Wy" oming and South Dakota. The lands B arq divided into sections of 640 acres " for which the settler is required to pay J the nominal sum of $14.00. The officials of the land department say there ' has never been such a demand for " homes. The government lahds about 1 Bonesteel, 8. D., are to be thrown open 3 to settlers July 28th. Already a city ' of tents has sprung up on the Dorder, - and it is estimated that by date of i opening there will be as many as fifty thousand ready to make the rush. ' Three fourths of these rushers will fail ' to get homes. 1 These people should be turned South. ' It would be a good two wee^s work ; for South Carolina's Immigration Bu; reau to be on the ground in force to ; stampede the remnant in this direc' tion. The majority of the people who go into these land rushes have energy ; at least. They know something already of our country. They waut to ! farm but haven't sufficient capital to buy and stock a farm where they come 1 from. There are plenty of lands throughout the South, and a fair proportion of these in Suth Carolina, that ? that can be bought for a soi?g. The' time and money wasted by these peo[ pie in making the rush would enable tbem to get a fair start in farming in South Carolina and the final outlay . required to make habitable and profit! able the farms of that inhospitable and j semi-arid northwest would pay for and ' equip the finest of plantations in tbe * South amid the most desirable surroundings.
