Monkeys Like Scrapping. ; "Monkeys are in a class by them rse?ves," said the circus man. "If one of them has red hair he is sure to be a dandy scrapper. The best fighter Is always the leader. They hang togeth er aud bow and scrape before the boss just like a good many people. Mon keys with red faces and flat heads will .whip the life out of those smaller than they are, but will run like the wind when it comes to an even break. A monkey riot Is a funny spectacle. Even -.pi the same cage you will find groups herded together as If there was some class distinction and the lines were drawn, tightly. If two of the big ones come together in a row the others gen wall y stand off and let them have it oct but If any of the little ones get to .crapping then the father and mother .re apt to mix In, and the next step is . general row. We separate them by turning on the hose and punish them bf locking np the den so that they can not get any peanuts from the crowd and hold back their meals. This plan jots them on their good behavior for twhile at least The monkey likes to ?ai and likes to be noticed." Slightly Mixed. They had Just set up housekeeping sod were working on the plan of econ 5 ?ny. The bathtub needed a coat of burnish. -Ho promised to attend to lt If she would order the varnish. "You'll find the varnish in the closet with the groceries, dear," she said a Say or so la$er, "and the can opener ta the knife drawer." He opened the can and, according to his" contract, applied the coat of . varnish and then left lt to dry. The soup for dinner that day had to be abandoned, for somehow, it pos ?essed a peculiar paint shop odor thai was nauseating. After dinner he took her to inspect his work on the bath tab. Kow that it had dried it had a certain unnatural appearance. The top and sides were streaked, and here and there little luniks clung to it ""The man said that was the best Tarnish," she cx? "ained. taking up the can of varnish for an examination, "but-why, dear, you have varnished the bathtub with the ox tail soup!" "Then It was the varnish we ate, dear," he added, horror stricken. - Lipplncott's. A Mode! Hotel "Boots." It was in a Dublin hotel, and as I closed the bedroom door, says a writer In the Manchester Guardian. I noticed that the end of one of ray boot laces was inside tho room, the boot to which It was attached having been placed as usual outside. When 1 awoke next morning the boot lace end was still there, and I opened the door expecting to find that the boots had not been cleaned, but I was wrong. A very cavc-rul hotel servant, a very model among ''boots." had found the lace tightly gripped by the door and rather thau disturb me had carefully removed it from the Ince holes and can lcd away the boot. Pre? ntly I heard a quiet noise outside the door. The model boots had brought my boots back again and was industriously re lacing that one which he had unlaced. Cheese In the Middle Ages. Cheese must have been a rather dear or scarce article of food in 1502, for it is recorded in the "Black Books" of the Honorable Socieiy of Lincoln's Inn that nt Easter terra. . 1502. it was "agreed by the governors and bench ers this term that if any one of the so ciety shall hereafter cut cheese im .moderately at the time of dinner or ?upper or shall give cheese to any servant or to any other or shall carry it away from the table at any time he shall pay 4 pence for each offense. The butlers of the sociot" shall pre sent such defaulters weekly under pain of expulsion from oifice."-Law Times. Her Test. "When a young man proposes you should always be careful and test his ldve," cautioned the conservative chap eron. "But I go one better, auntie," twit tered the pretty girl. "Do you see this tiny bottle?" "Yes. Does it contain perfume?" "No; it contains acid. I test the en gagement ring." Not Very Funny. "I did my best to be entertaining," said the young man in a voice of sor row. "Did you succeed?" Tm afraid not I recited Hamlet's soliloquy. She looked at me reproach fully for several seconds and then ex claimed, "I don't think that's very funny !"-London Telegraph. His Conscience. "He's forever prating about what his conscience tells him. What does his conscience tell him. anyway?" "Apparently it usually tells him what awful sinners his ueighbors are."

J. W. THE ONE GREAT GATHERING OF SOUTH CAROLINIANS The Stale Fair This Year-October 20 to 30. The fortieth annual State Fair will be held at Columbia this year October 26-30, and it gives promise to be the greatest State Fair ever held. No mat ter how bad the crops or how hard the times, everybody goes to the State Fair at Columbia, lt has been the custom now for nearly half a century, and it will ever continue so with crowds in :reasing each year. The State Fair is the one time of the rear that work can be put down and jveryone have a good time for a few lays. Old acquaintances and relatives meet at the State Fair if they are not fortunate enough to meet elsewhere luring tho year. Friends meet friends ind college men meet their college nates and renew friendships with good stories of the good times of the past. This year the fair holds even more :han that for South Carolinians. It will be made up of new exhibits that will teach the farmers new methods md improvements that mean money to ?very one of them. The races will be the best ever seen n the South. This being the first year ;hat the Fair Association has entered :he Virginia-Carolina Circuit. The stake races will b:.ng many of the :ountry's very finest racers. The two football games will draw thousands of enthusiastic "rooters" from both the Carolinas. Columbia is better fitted to take care if her guests than ever before, with nore hotel accommodations. The rail roads will all put on special rates, as jsual. President John G.
