Dumtfrous Department. One on Ingersoll.?Judge Ewing tells a good story on Bob Ingersoll, re- I counting one of the few instances in . which the noted orator was beset by a man in the crowd listening to him. The judge says the colonel has given ( the story a twist and now relates it as if it happened to a Democratic orator instead of himself. Colonel Ingersoll, so runs the story, was making a political speech, and for half an hour he had been scoring the Democrats at a 1 terrific rate. After he had finished 1 his diatribe, he asked: "Is there a Democrat in this whole audience ? If 1 there is I would like him to stand up 1 and tell the audience how he feels." A gray haired old man stood up in t the crowd and Colonel Ingersoll I tiAn Kim "So you're a Democrat, are you ?" i asked Bob. "Well, now, just tell the i audience how you feel. Just describe your sensations. I want this great | crowd to know what you feel like." j A deathlike stillness fell upon the crowd and the old man replied in a loud, piercing voice that could be heard all over the house : "I feel like a sound hazlenut in a bushel of beans !" A roar of laugbter went up from the 1 crowd, and for once the colonel was ( not ready with a very good response. The Last Word.?It was in a sleeping car and they thought that every oue else was asleep. Probably every ' one had been, but they woke me. 1 When I was enough awake to notice what was going on I heard her : ! "Well, I don't care. I think you're i real mean. All I want " "Yes," broke in he, "all you want i now is the last word, same as you al- ( ways have, ain't it?" __ J rill \ :i " x es, ana in uave n, wu, ey??.ofully. "You won't." "See if I don't," "All right!" "All right it is." /'Have to mock every word I say, don't you ?" "Heavens, no ! You never say anything worth repeating." "Why do you echo me, then ?" "I don't!" "You. do!" "I don't!" "Shut up!" "I won't!" "Ugh !" And there was a noise like a man tumbling into his berth. Then we heard, rather softly, as if talking to herself: "I said I'd have the last word, and did. 'Ugh' don't count, cause I don't believe it is a word." He Had It In His Pocket.?"A misunderstanding as to the meaning of a word sometimes leads to peculiar situations," said Rev. A. L. Smith of Chicago, at the Arlington, to a Wash- i ington Star writer. "In company with ' several other ministers I was riding in < a stage or hack, which served the pur- i pose of a stage, en route to campmeeting. The road wound among the < mountains, and the air was delightful, < while the scenery was almost sublime. < I was invigorated as though by a pow- i erful tonic, and several times remarked upon the ozone in the air. j "After one of these observations the j driver stopped the horse, and, beck- j oning to me slyly, climbed from the j seat. Wondering what he could want, I followed him, and soon we were ( behind a large tree, out of view of the , wagon. ' " 'Parson," said the driver, 'I J couldn't bear to see you suffer. The ozone you smelled was in my pocket.' "With these words he drew forth a ! i i? I mrgc UUL LIC ui nuioaji, n in^u uo uifered to me. It took several minutes 1 to convince him that it was not whisky I had referred to as ozone." J . ? . ] For What He Is Worth.?A trav- ' eler in Tennessee, noticing a large number of people following a wagon, 1 rode up to an old fellow, who sat on 1 the fence, and asked the cause of such a large procession. "W'y, they air takin' Sam Bates out ter the graveyard." * i "He must have been a very popular man." "Wall, I should reckon he was." "Held a high position, I suppose." "Stood at the top." , "What was his business?" "Chopped co'd wood fur a living', I believe." "What! do people in this section pay so much attention to wood choppers?" "Look yare, my friend, Sam was the handiest man with a fiiddle there wuz in this neighborhood. He could jest nachully make a fiddle cluck like a hen. I don't know how it is whar you come frum, but in this here community we don't pay no attention ter whut a man does fur er livin', but we measure him fur whut he is wuth ter society." , B&* Dr. Aird, the venerable moderator of the Free Church of Scotland, 1 tells a gooa story aoout a miuister who, in the old days of patronage, was forced upon a congregation at Alness, i The minister was coldly received, as 1 may be imagined; but he began to ' visit the people, and one day called ' upon an elder, who greeted him very I gruffly. The minister, however, took i a chair, and in a little while took out his snutf-box. "Oh," said the elder, i "ye tak snuffl, dae ye ?" "O yes." i "Weel," said the elder, "that's the i first mark o' grace I've seen in ye." < "How do you make that out?" asked ] the minister. "Dae ye uo read o' Sol- ( omon's temple," replied the elder, < "that the snuffers were of pure gold ?" figy A story is told of the wellknown j Irish priest, Father Maguire. A far mer, it seems, ouce asked his reverence , what a miracle was. "Well," replied | Father Maguire, "walk on before me, 1 and I'll see what I can do for you." ] The farmer complied, and as he did so i the priest gave him a well aimed kick \ that made him howl with pain. "Did you feel that ?" inquired his reverence, i "Begorrah, I felt it sure enough." i "Well," Father Maguire replied, "it would be a miracle if you didn't."

"My eon, forget not My law; but let fe{ thine heart keep My commandments." en Between the lesson on God's blessing upon gu Solomon and the going forth of his fame we have this one on the secret of all bless- ^ lng and true honor. These words are for fr{ wisdom's children, those who are children ujj of God by faith In Christ Jesus (John 1, g, 12), for inasmuch as the law cannot give rj, life only those who have life can keep the law (GaL 111, 21, 22; Rom. x, 4; vlli, 8, 4).

"Ho is our pr life and the length of our days" (Dout. ^ ttt, 20). "He Is our peace" (Eph. 11, 14). To receive Him Is life (I John v, 12), but , He came to give us more than life, even ? life abundantly (John x, 10). Many saved ^ people miss much of heaven upon the earth po (Dout. xl, 18-21) because they do not eat ho the word of God and lay it up In their clt hearts for constant meditation. th, 8. "Write them upon the table of thine heart." All the paths of the Lord are . mercy and truth unto such as keep His cov- , enant and His testimonies (Ps. xxx, 10). And every believer Is expected to be a liv- K? lng witness to this fact, an epistle of m< Christ, written with the Spirit of the liv- th lng God In fleshy tables of the heart (H t,h Cor. ill, 8). fg] 4. "So shalt thou find favor and good understanding In the sight of God and man." Not that all men will praise you or love you if you live a holy life, for not all loved our Lord, and the disciple must du be content to bo as his Master (John xv, ha 20). But the conscious blessing of the Lord qu will be yours, and the favor of fill such as truly love the Lord.

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own under- R( standing." Since It is not in man that foi walkoth to direct his 6teps (Jer. x, 23) and ar, the heart is deceitful above all things ^e( and desperately wicked, is it any wonder .. that the Spirit has written, '' Cursed be the . man that trusteth in man and maketh flesh his arm. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is?" ex (Jer. xvii, 5, 7, 9.) And again, "Commit ha thy way unto the Lord, trust also in Him, cu and He shall bring it to pass." W( 6. "In all thy ways acknowledge Him, . and He shall direct thy paths.'' This goes well with PhlL iv, 0, 7, where we are forbidden to be anxious about anything and "e commanded to bo prayerful about everything. Guidanco and blessing are assured ad to all who rely upon Him to direct and sp manage them and their affairs. Sec for en further comfort Ps. xxxii, 8; II Chron. xvi, 9. a_ 7, 8. "Be not wise in thine own eyes, fear the Lord and depart from eviL " Here sy is the secret of soul health, and the health or sickness of the soul ofttimes wondrously sp affects the body. The fear of the Lord in- pr eludes, at least, a fear to griovo Him and e(] a humbling of self to walk with Him a j (Mic. vi, 8, margin), in complete subjection to Him and to His word. 0, 10. "Honor the Lord with thy sub- lls Btanco and with the first fruits of all thine increase." Here is the secret of blessing it in temporal things; barns and wine presses full. The same thing is 6trongly empha- th sized in Mai. iii, 10. Ho who in all ha tilings acknowledges God and with choeafulness rendors to God a becoming gratitude cannot but enjoy the blessing of D?< God. The nine lepers who went to the tic priest did as they were commanded, they les did their duty, but the grateful tenth re- in ceived had an abundant blessing which the ha duty follows missed. Let all Christians he give at least a grateful tenth, and God will make His promises literally true. 11,12. " My son, despise not the chasten- :? ing of the Lord." Our Heavenly Father earnestly desires the highest happiness for sil all His children, but He is often hindered un in doing for us what He would like to by fot our willfulness, therefore to fit us to re- be celve His bounty He has to chasten us, to ^Q| humble us, to make us see the folly of our ways, that we may yield to Him and His ways and be blessed indeed. 18. "Happy is the man thatfindeth wis- M; dom, and the man that getteth under- dii standing." Christ is the wisdom of God. thi He also is life, and alro understanding (I fet Cor. i, 24; Prov. viil, 14, '65). Give heed to chapter iv, 6, 7, and take the comfort . of Prov. iii, 24; Iv, 12; vl, 22.

"For the merchandise of it is better Jqi than the merchandise of silver, and the jn gain thereof than fine gold." Silver and CQ gold and all the gain of earth are only for the earth and pass away, but wisdom is en eternal?it endureth forever.

"She is more precious than rubles, pe and all the things thou canst desire are not f, to be compared unto her." So also in ohapterviii, 11. And again, in Job xxvlli, Pu 18, it is written, "The price of wisdom Is above rubies." Whon Mary sat at Jesus' in feet and heard His word, and Martha tbi seemed to find a little fault with her, of Jesus said, "But one tiling is neoarm, ana Mary hath chosen that good port, which Bhull not be taken away from her." What- . ever He meant by those words we cer- VJ, tainly know that Ho Himself, the wisdom ?? of God, is to us the one thing needful, and all in Him dwelleth all the fullness of the izu Godhead bodily (CoL 11, 9). cu 16. "Length of days in her right hand, SU( and in her left hand riches and honor." _ In chapter vlli, 18, it is written, "Riches . and honor ore with Mo; yea, durable riches and rlghtoousness." There are riches an which perish, which are of use only in this ori world, and there are durable riches, whloh E\ only He can give.

The loss of u few states, and that, too, by a very tall plurality, has defeated bimetal- u m for the present, but bimetallism lerges from the contest stronger than l< was four months ago.

BIG PAY-LI1 HERE ARE SOME OFFERS TO Yorkville FOR Valuable Premiums tc Who Send in and BUGGY, 2-HORSE WA Special Inducements Get Mew Subscrtb Inducements 1 scribers to SI READ CAREFULLY AND BETWEEN this date and the MIDDLE OF MARCH, it is usual for the people of this section to select their reading matter for the s following year. Being one of the cleanest, ^ mosi nntArnriRlnsr and reliable newsDaDers in .. the state, lit Is natural, therefore, tfiat THE 'A YORKVILLE ENQUIRER should also be >ne of the most popular. Ninety per cent, of rr the families In the county desire it as a regular visitor to their homes, and all those who can afford it, may reasonably be looked upon is probable subscribers. One of the most serious drawbacks, probably, Is the Inconvenience of writing letters, sending money and 8 attending to the matter of subscribing at the T proper time. It Is this fact that makes it es- E pcclally desirable for us, Just at this time, to n secure the services of a large number of Intel- 01 llgcnt and energetic assistants, and to make it worth their while to give the matter their attention, we are making the liberal offers which we will presently explain. g The price of a single subscription one year e Is TWO DOLLARS. This Is to the Individual e who does not give his name to a clubmaker; p but sends it direct to this office. In clubs, 0 however the price is only ONE DOLLAR v, AND SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS. That is the price which the subscriber pays the clubmaker, and the price which, under all circumstances, he Is expected to pay us. Now to our propo- a sitlons: | THREE BIG PREMIUMS. I SI This year we offer three big premiums. One Is a SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLAR BUGGY. Another is a SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLAR ORGAN. and the third Is a FIFTY DOLLAR g WAGON. The Buggy will go to the clubmaker p who gets Up the largest list of subscribers, new ^ and old. The Wagon will go to the clubmaker who gets up the second largest list, new and old; and the Organ will go to the clubmaker whose total list shall show up the largest number of NEW NAMES). The organ contest, v however, will be separate and distinct irom t. the other contest, In that the winner of this premium will still have the right to count nis . entire club. Including both old and new r1 names, in t he contest for the Buggy or Wagon. ^ To be more explicit. It is possible that the " clubmaker who gets the Organ, may also be " ilie winner of either the Wagort or the Buggy. It is also possible that the Organ may be won with less than 20 names, together with one of the smaller premiums. FULL PREMIUM LIST. { But this is not all. In addition to the pre- c miums offered for the LARGEST AND SEC- ? OND LARGEST CLUBS, and the largest club 5 of NEW SUBSCRIBERS, we also offer other r valuable premiums for a given number of sub- 0 scribers. This, it will be seen, ensures that the r clubmaker who starts out for one of the larger clubs and falls short, will not fail to be paid " for his time and trouble. Here is the list in 11 full, followed by the conditions below: $75.00 BUGGY. J To the clubmaker who returns the laigest 0 number of names, will be awarded the BEST BUGGY manufactured by the Carolina Buggy Company of Yorkville, S. C., for ?75.00.
