tumorous department. No Wonder He Fled.?A tall, solemn-looking young man entered the restaurant with a mild, apologetic air, and seated himself at a vacant table near the middle of the room. It was evident that he dreaded to intrude. He wanted to get as far away from other people as possible. He even blushed paiDtuuy wnen ne gave uis order, and the most casual observer could have told that he was bashful. Just as his dinner was brought to him a buxom-looking woman with seven small children entered the place. The head waiter swept the field with his eye, pounced down on the table where the young man had sought solicitude, motioned to the mother, who clucked to the chickens, and a moment later they were all around that one table. The young man's face was a serial story. Other people entered the restaurant, glanced at the group, smiled signifi caDtly, and seated themselves. "He doesn't look it, does he ?" queried a pleasant faced old lady iu an audible whisper. "She looks at least 10 years older than he," murmered the girl at the next table. He flew to the hatrack, tossed a half crown to the waiter and tried to get through the door without opening it.?London Jelegraph. Not Very Flattering.?Last winter a delegation of Indians from a far western state, on a tour of inspection through the interior department, visited the land office, where they were introduced to the clerk who had especial charge of their section of the country, a bumptious little individual with a big head. This official proceeded to overpower the red men with his importance. Grasping each one of them cordially by the band, he patted them patronizingly on their backs and then delivered a long speech, explaining in detail the work of the office, their interest in it, laying particular stress on the fact he was the motive power of it all. As soon as their entertainer paused for breath the visiting iDdiaDs began to grunt and talk among themselves. "What are they saying?" asked the egotistical clerk, expecting to hear high praise of himself. "Tell me what they are saying." "I cannot tell you," replied the interpreter. "It was not for you to hear." But the little man insisted, and with great reluctance the interpreter finally yielded. "They said," he translated, "Little man, big head, heap talk, say nothing, much fool." ? Washington Letter in New York Tribune. An Absentminded Man.?There have been a great many stories about absent-minded men, where one forgets his house address, another what business he is in and where another has to refer to the mark on his handkerchief before he can remember his own name. There is a farmer named Rogers in the north, who possessed a Jersey cow, which he used to drive morning and evening to and from the pasture, not far from bis home. One morning, as one of his neighbors was passing along the road, he met Mr. Rodgers walking in the middle of the lane, his mind apparently engrossed with some weighty question. The neighbor called out: "Good morning, Mr. Rogers. Where are you going? "Why," said Mr. Rogers, in a surprised way, "I'm driving the cow to pasture." And he waved his hand to ward where ine cow ougnt 10 nave been. "Well, where's the cow ?" asked his friend. "I suppose I forgot to let her out of the barn," answered Mr. Rogers humbly as he realized his position. And he had.?Columbian. An Inquisitive Caller.?When one of the members of the state board of health was in the city recently, he had a caller whom he evidently did not wish to see. The caller went to the hotel where this man was stopping and sent a card up by one of the bellboys. The boy was new in the busi, ness in addition to being a stranger in the city. He handed the card in and requested an answer. Evidently the man from Springfield was disgusted, and probably he said : "Pshaw ! Well?tell him I'm out and won't be back for half an hour. Tell him to call again." The boy hurried down stairs with the card and the message. He handed the former to its owner and paused as if not knowing what to say. "Well," said the man, "wasn't he in?" "No, sir," answered the boy. "That is, the party is out just now, but says to call in about half an hour and he will see you." The man laughed and was about to Kn\r a tirw nn rteliverinc the ft*,V/ ""J ??

Jam and Jirwidc. Fall Gardening.?If onion sets are put out in October, they will furnish slender white stems for the table about two weeks from the beginning of growth in the spring. One-tbird ounce of seed or a quart of sets goes to 100 feet of row. Parsley is biennial. If wanted in early spring, parsley may be sowed in September in moderately fertile soil. During cold weather the plants should be covered nearly to the top with leaves, held in place by brush. Onefrtnrfh nf nno ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill. If sowed in the fall, spinach can usually be wintered under a mulch, which should be removed early in the spring. The drills should be a foot apart and the seed covered about an inch deep. Thin to 6 inches apart and finally, as the plants grow, to 12 inches in a row. New Zealand is a new variety, quite different from the common, and the plants stand three feet apart. Perpetual spinach is sown in rows a foot apart, in very rich soil and thinned to give room. Half an ounce of ordinary seed is right for 100 feet of drill. Twenty-five plants of New Zealand is enough for a family. These suggestions occur in the very useful farmers' bulletin, No. 94, on vegetable gardening. Coarse Barnyard Manure.?It is useless to apply coarse baruyard manure on crops with the expectation of deriving the full benefit therefrom the first season. The roots of the plants take up the food in the soil when it is in a soluble condition, and the manure must be changed from the solid to the fluid condition before it is available. Beneficial effects are, of course, the result almost immediately when manure is applied, but it is due to the fact that large proportions of the manure are soluble, especially when the urine koon o KonrKorl Kll f. fhtt Qt.l* A IV uao uccu avovi wu j **?w vUV >* M, stalks, leaves, etc., are not available to plants until such materials are decomposed and made tine, so that the rains can take the food elements therefrom. Moisture, air and warmth assist in reducing the manure, and in the heap it may be quickly decomposed, but a longer time is frequently required when coarse manure is turned under. It is well enough to cover the land with the straw and other coarse materials from the barnyard if the object is simply to apply them on the land, but when the crops are to be assisted immediately such manure is not very serviceable to some plants. Wheat For Seed.?Wheat is easily cleaned, but when it is desired for seed too much care cannot be given it in examining for the seeds of weeds. All imperfect grains should also be removed. An agreeable experiment can be made by any farmer who will select 100 plump seeds and plant tbem in a row, placing the seeds a foot apart each, then cultivating the row. If the product is measured next year and compared with the ordinary yield from seed that is drilled in as for field culture, the comparison will cause a surprise, as the yield from the cultivated row will be four times that from the same area selected in the regular crop. The experiment will take but little time and will cost but a trifle. Improve Your Cattle.?It is probable that prices of beef will be higher the coming winter, and if so, there should be a profit in cattle. It may be that refrigerator beef will be an obstacle in the Way ; but the usurpation of the market by such beef has been due to the inferior cattle and the difficulty of getting a constant supply of choice beef in the east compared with that sent ready dressed from the west. When eastern farmers become prepared to supply cattle of the best quality they will possess local advantages that will give them control of the home markets ; but they must first improve their breeds.?Philadelphia Record. Value of the Pasture.?About four times as much material can be secured by cutting bay on the meadows as by pasturing stock on the land, yet experiments demonstrate that more profit is derived by pasturing the meadow plot than by using it from which to secure a crop of hay, owing to the great saving in labor in the care required when cattle are given the use of the pasture, while the greater digestibility and dietary effects of the green food secured on the pasture are such as to promote thrift of the animals and increase the flow of milk, as well as add to the weight of the young stock. Vitality of Seeds.?On the farm of W. F. Leavitt, of Naples, Me., a portion of a cellar drain next the house was opened this spring, it having become clogged. From the dirt thrown out of the ditch several varieties of flowers have grown thriftily all summer. These same species of plants have not been grown on the place for over 50 years. The last grown was about this spot, which shows that the seeds must have laid dormant that length of time and retained their vitality. A(;e Limit to Blackkerries.?S. F. Bridges, of Mason, Texas, wants to know how long blackberry bushes will live and bear fruit. The stems or canes will last about three years; but the roots, if well cultivated, will live and produce new canes and fruit for many years. A recent bulletin from the United States agricultural department, at Washington, tells of a blackberry patch in Michigan that was planted in 185G, and is still in vigorous growth and bearing. flfiT" Utopia is now known to be located at Orsa, in Sweden.

His remains were interred Saturday at Camp Creek Methodist church by the Van Wyck camp of Woodmen of the World, in which he carried $1,000 insurance. Against Expansion By Force.? In an interview with a Washington Post reporter last Wednesday, Senator Mason, of Illinois, said : "On the floor of the senate I shall continue my opposition to the war on the Filipinos. 1 would sooner resign my seat than to treat a dog the way we are treating those people. I am ashamed of my country. "People make a great mistake," he continued, "when they say that I am against expansion. I am not. But expansion by purchase or other honororable means is one thing; expansion by force is another. I do not believe that there was any necessity for this war upon the Filipinos. I believe that if we bad adopted a resolution in congress, assuring those people, as we as sured the Cubans, that we naa no selfish design upon them, we never would have met with any opposition in the Philippines. The fact is, we have given the Filipiuos every reason to distrust us, and they are fighting for their own liberty. "Talk about hauling down the flag," continued Senator Mason. "Will not our flag come down in Cuba? Certainly it will, if we are true to our promises. And the day that it comes down will he the brightest day in our history, because it will show that we are a great, unselfish nation devoted to the eternal principles of right and honesty. If the Cubans want to be annexed later that is another question. Why cannot we deal with the Fillipinos in the same way ?" A Texas Temple of Justice.? "In one of the remote counties of the Pauhandle of Texas," says Law Notes, "two lawyers were trying a case before a justice of the peace. It was sixty miles as the crow flies to the nearest law book, and the attorneys differed, of course, as to the law upon the main issues in the case. They were tryiug the case without the intervention of a jury, and his honor, who conducted a a gambling house in connection with a saloou, livery stable, stud-horse and jackass, was in doubt as to what his decision ought to be. Finally Miller, the plaintiff's counsel, offered to bet Hoover, the defendant's attorney, $10 that he was right. Hoover did not happen to have that much of the circulating medium concealed about his ' person, and was naturally at a loss how to parry this forcible argumeut. , The court waited a few minutes on Hoover, and finally said : 'Well, Mr. Hoover, the court has waited long I enough. Miller's proposition seems to be a fair one, and since you don't put i up I will decide the case in favor of i the plaintiff.1" [ Mr. John F. Love, ! Gastonia, N.

August 23 w Cm IN HIS STEPS, OR WHAT WOULD [ JESUS r DO? ) THIS is the title of the next serial to be published in The Enquirer. The story is by Charles M. Sheldon, a Presbyterian preacher. It was first published in 1897, and was read by the I author to bis congregation in installments, in lieu of regular sermons. Since then the story has been printed ? in book form and more than a million . copies have been sold; but com para, tively few of them in this section. It is serious reading; but not heavy. It is of absorbing interest, and it is bound f to prove profitable to the reader. In fact, we believe it will be found by all classes to be one of the most engrossing stories they have ever read. Every chapter deals with matters about , which every reader already has his own notions, and about things on which there is much difference of opinion. There is no trash in this story; but i that will not detract in the least from its f entertaining qualities. The book is copyrighted. This is a fact that has been used with more or less force against the author by his critics. With how much justice will appear , best after the reader has gotten well into the story. The Enquirer, how1 ever, has purchased the full right to , publish, and many readers who would not otherwise have had the privilege will have an opportunity to enjoy this unique story. The first chapter will appear within a few weeks. L. M. GRIST A SONS. TAX COLLECTIONS?1800. Office of the County Treasurer of York County, Yorkville, S. C., September 15,1899.

Oue who is not an artist doesn't stand much of a chance of mak ing a success at photography. I have ~ given years of study to this especial line _ and I can say with pride that my work I will compare favorab ly with that of any i photographer in this section. ) The best and most perfect photographs ' are the results of experience and not ex[ periments. I do all of my developing, [ retouching and finishing, thereby obtainl ing the best possible results. > As Far As Prices Are concerned, you need not worry yourJ self along that score. I know that my , prices are reasonable and you will agree _ with me when I tell you what they are. I am also prepared to develop and print " pictures taken with jtocket cameras. If you have a Kodak or Vive or any other , camera, and for any reason you can't de' velop and print your pictures, bring them to me at my gallery on West Liberty street. J. R. SCHORB.
