He t< came, into my office the other day on his way home from school and laid a jj nickel down on the desk before me.' y " 'What is this for, son ?' I asked. " 'Retainer,' he answered soberly. ? ?yery well,' said I, entering into ft, the joke. 'What have I been retained upon ?' "My boy dug down into his pocket ei and produced a note from his teacher C1 and placed it before me without com- 1 ment. It was to the effect that he had been 'cutting up' and advised a whip- c< ping. I "'Now, what would you advise?' ti asked he in a businesslike voice after I tl Dan reau me uoie uuu saw iue nap that young rascal led me into. t( " 'I think that our first move should tl be to apply for a change of venue,' said I. t, " 'Very well,' he answered.

C I Senatorial Repartee.?During gi the course of his recent speech on the il Philippines, Spooner, of Wisconsin, w held up a paper which he said was a j letter written by General Lawton some ^ time before his death. h "Do you know it was written ?" ask- 5, ed Pettigrew, of South Dakota, who jr had previously expressed doubts of the , ? ? 5 4. ? ' autnenticity, ana nau irieu iu uasi n w cloud over it. e, "The senator reminds me," said Mr. ?, Spooner, "of a lawyer who was de- w fending a prisoner for murder. The evidence showed that the defendant stood with a revolver when the other ,r man approached, and fired it, and ' when he fired it the man fell dead. On cross-examination of a witness who 111 saw it the counsel said to him : 'Did ' you see this defendant?' 'Yes.' 'Where ^ was he?' 'Well, he stood so-and-so.'

Frank Gunsaulus at ? one time believed that his parish work 'a would be made much easier for him if s* he possessed a horse on which to ride I from place to place, so he determined fr to purchase one. Now, what Mr. ai Gunsaulus didn't know about a horse pi would fill a large volume, and as might e' have been expected, he fell into the tt hands of the Philistines. He saw noth- \ ing wrong with the horse, however. ai He had ..told the man of whom he gj bought it that he was not used to rid- d ing, and so wanted a quiet animal, and c< in this respect at least the horse came b fully up to the requirements. One b' day Mr. t^unsauius s iamer came lo visit him, and the horse was proudly shown to him. Gunsauluspere looked C] the horse over carefully. ^ "Well, Frank," he said at last, "he ? isn't much on looks, is he?" ei "No," answered Frank ; "but, then rj know, father, the Savior rode a horse that was anything but handsome." "Yes, I've heard that," said the old ^ man, reflectively. "Frank," he added, . suddenly, "you've got a treasure. I'll j bet this is the same horse." ^ -j Turned It to Account.?A Derbyshire man, accompanied by his wife, \ happened to be traveling in a train P when, near Stafford, a collision occurred. He was well-known for his w shrewdness in business, and he proved that in the collision his wife received ? a contusion between the eyes, for which a jury awarded ?50 damages. Some time after the affair had blown I over the following confession, or some- n thing to the like effect, was elicited h from the plaintiff in a moment of un- c< guarded conviviality : b "Well, you see, when the collision 1? happened t' owld woman and I wur all s< reet, but when I looked out o't' car- ti ridge I seed a lot of fellies in a teriible state.

CHILDREN'S TEETH. There is no point on which people are so careless as the care of their children's first teeth, and those of the second set that erupt between the 5th and 7th years of age. There is no condition that tends in a greater decree to produce good health and vigorous growth of the body than a good, sound set of teeth. Incalculable harm is done to the health of a child, and to the integrity >f the second set of teeth in allowing ;he temporary set to become decayed and abscessed, carrying pain and sufferng and frequently indigestion and all ;ts accumulated evils. "Neglect is the mortal enemy of the :eeth." If the first set of teeth is ost before the proper time, the second set suffers much from their loss, and n some cases does not erupt at all. If lecayed, the first should be filled with plastic tiling material ana let remain until their places are ready to be taken by tfco second teeth. But a good deal can be accomplished by keeping the teeth brushed and 3lean. The child should be taught to brush his own teeth and use the pick after each meal. It will do the parent qo harm to practice the lesson himself. In this manner one can save more teeth, using no instruments but the brush and pick (and, by the way, one should use nothing but a quill toothpick) and silk thread, than all the ientists can by performing their dental operations. It must not be inferred that we can, by any means, always or in every case, avoid the necessity of filling children's teeth. But when cared for properly, the defect would be detected it such an early stage the operation for repair (filling) would be painless, and its durability beyond question. Be Just to the Boy.?Give the boy a chance to do something on the farm. Give him a small plat of ground and let him raise some crop on it which he is able to attend to properly, with such suggestions as you may be able to give him. After his crop is made then buy it from him, or sell him a pig on credit and let him fatten it, and when he sells it, let him pay rent an the land be used aud also for the pig. Don't put him to raising chickens, at which, probably, you have already made a failure. Let him do some work whereby your suggestions :rom time to time will enable him to eome out with a dollar or so, at the end of the year. Money which he has earned for himself, be it ever so little, s more satisfactory to him than would ae thrice the amount given to him. He will thereby gain a knowledge of ausiness and economics early in life vhich can be a source of gratification o himself and his family in later ^ - r?i ? i t 1 >rears.?uonon naniers jouruai. Good Things to Learn.?Learn to augh. A good laugh is better than medicine. Learn how to tell a story. A wellold story is as welcome as a sunbeam n a sick room. Learn to keep your own troubles to yourself. The world is too busy to :are for your ills and sorrows. Learn to stop croaking. If ydu canlot see any good in this world, keep ,he bad to yourself. Learn to attend strictly to your own jusiness. Very important point. Learn to hide your aches and pains inder a pleasant smile. No one cares vhether you have earache, headache >r rheumatism. Learn to greet your friends with a smile. They carry too many frowns n their own hearts to be bothered .vith any of yours. Guinea Fowls.?It is a pity that nore guinea fowls are not kept by 'armers. Their quaint call and shy labit show that they are not far removed from game birds, which are ilmost everywhere disappearing. No tind of fowl lays so many eggs. Their meat is dark colored, and to those unaccustomed to game, it is sometimes thought not good ; but yet this wild flavor is just what very aonny like, and many more would if they tried to overcome prejudice. The guinea fowl in any yard is one of the best defenses of domestic fowls rrom hawks and other feathered enemies. They see such marauders very juickly, and instantly give warning which the instinct of every bird in the fard has taught it' to recognize and aeed. Sure Cure For Colic.?Mr. J. A. Hunson tells us that he has a sure jure for colic in horses. He says that tie got it from Major Bolton, who used it 25 years or more without the loss of i single horse or mule and that he used it with equal success. The remedy is to take a ball of jotton and saturate it in lard and then burn it under the nose of the animal. He says that at first the animal will Qot like the fumes, but after a moment will follow the one administering the the remedy all over the yard. He says that the disease never gets too far gone for the good effects of the remedy. Horsemen will do well to paste this up for future reference. Curing Chickens of Cholera.? Those who make their pin money by raising chickens or turkeys would like to know how to cure cholera. This is the way I cured mine : Took about a quart of flour, mixed it very thin with water and gave every morning. If fowls are too sick to eat, pour it down their throats. Give noultrv plenty of buttermilk, and cholera will not bother them. I have not lost any since I gave this to them.?Mrs. C. Frank. A Bee's Weight.?Careful weighing shows that an ordinary bee, not loaded, weighs the five-thousandth part of a pound, so that it takes 5,000 bees to make a pound. But the loaded bee, when he comes in fresh from the fields and flowers, freighted with honey or bee bread, weighs nearly three times more.?St. Louis GlobeDemocrat.

Winkler b is a legislator, lives in the center of the t state, Camden, was one of the leaders of the last house, is in touch with the influential politicians, and has a good show. Cole Blease has been prominent j in the legislature for several years among the leaders, is strong at his home, Newberry, and in Saluda, Edge- ? field, Greenwood and Laurens will have friends "as thick as the leaves in Vallambroso are." Jim Tillman is a young statesman of Edgefield, the son of his father, and the nephew of his ^ uncle; but this is not all. He was a . soldier in the late jostle with Spain and it is said the thousands of boys who J rallied with him to the flag will be f with him tooth and nail. He is run- G ning on his own merits and not on the k Tillman name, he says, and we believe 8 him. All these are clever fellows. It r is very true that the place has little " money attached, (only $8 per day dur- ^ ing the session.)

He kindly awakened the family and f gave the alarm. By a speedy use of u water from a well a few yards distant, y and the removal of a few shingles, the fire was soon put out. A rat or mouse b that somehow had gotten a match y could have been the only cause. t The store of Jno. G. Cousar & Co., at Bascomville, was burnt about 4 o'clock n Wednesday morning.

Dr. McMillan is a professor in Monmouth college. A movement is now on foot to connect Chester, Rock Hill, Fort Mill and Charlotte by a direct telephone line, which will _ give good connection, through Rock Hill, with Yorkville, Lancaster, Cam- "1 den and other points.

There is a private line to ] Lancaster; but it denies our people r any accommodation in return for the " privileges it enjoys through our ex- F phnnrrp The nnnnpolion with Rock Hill and Yorkville is so unsatisfactory ~ that it is aboutequivalent to none. To secure these very desirable connections, all Chester has to do is to meet Rock Hill half way, and we learn that J Rock Hill has a line nearly completed } to Smith's. The link that will com- n plete the connection will have to he built by voluntary subscription, as the company has no funds available for the purpose. The Chester exchange gives the very best service at the least possible cost, with no purpose to make money, and so there is no money in the treasury except what is needed for extensive improvements now about to be made. If all will do their share .. the line can be built without being J a burden to anyone, and it will be a b permanent convenience. LANCASTER?Ledger, July 14: Mrs. P. G.
