^tumorous Department. MARK TWAIN AND ADAM. "Here are some of the first extracts I have made from Adam's diary: " 'Monday?This new creature with the long hair is a good deal in the way. It is always hanging around and following me about. I don't like this; I am not used to company. I wish it would stay with the other animals * * Cloudy today: wind in the east: think we shall have rain. * * * We? Where did I get that word? * * I remember now?the new creature uses it. " 'Tuesday?Been examining tne great waterfall. It is the finest thing on the estate, I think. The new crea-j ture calls it Niagara Falls?why, I am sure I do not know. Says it looks like Niagara Falls. That is not a reason; it is mere waywardness and im-| becility. I get no chance to name anything myself. The new creature names everything that comes along, before I can get in a protest. And always that same pretext is offered?it looks like the thing. There is the dodo, for instance. Says the moment one looks at it "looks like a dodo." It will have to keep that name, no doubt. It wearies me to fret about it, and it does no good, anyway. Dodo! It looks no more like a dodo than I do. " 'Wednesday?Built me a shelter against the rain, but could not have it to myself in peace# The new creature intruded. When I tried to put it out it shed water out of the holes it looks it a -a.a v with the back w1 in anu ?t ??sv,v* aw .. * ?, ....? of its paws, and made a noise such as some other animals make when they are in distress. I wish it would not talk; it is always talking. That sounds like a cheap fling at the poor creature, a slur, but I do not mean it so. I have never heard the human voice before, and any new and strange voice intruding here upon the solemn hush of these dreaming solitudes offends my ears and seems a false note."?Mark Twain in April Harper's. Game to the Last.?A certain Duke, while driving from the station to the park on his estate to inspect a company of artillery, observed a ragged urchin keeping pace with the carriage at. his side. His grace, being struck with the cleanliness of the lad, asked him where he was going. The lad replied: "To the park to see the dook and sogers." The Duke, feeling interested, stopped his carriage and opened the door to the lad, saying he could ride to the park with him. The delighted lad, being in ignorance of whom he was, kept his grace interested with the quaint remarks till the park gates were reached. * ~ 4,1 nntafari it woe Clint LIIC tainagc uiutitu aw ?*?*** ed by the company and guns, whereupon his grace said to the lad: "Now, can you show me where the Duke is?" The lad eyed his person all over, then, looking at the Duke, replied, quite seriously: "Well, I dunno, mister; but it's either you or me!"?London Spare Moments. ^ 9 Merciless Mr. Simpson.?They tell this story on Judge John W. Henry, now of Kansas City; but who about 23! years ago occupied the bench of the then Twenty-seventh juriscial circuit of Missouri, which consisted of Putnam, Schuyler, Adair and Macon counties. A lawyer named Simpson, who J1A J Of TAf ArvVi TI?Q e n or o IldllCU XXISXXX C. uuocpil, ? ao aifeUJUb u. motion for a new trial, during the course of which he was particularly scathing in his criticisms of the court's rulings. Finally his honor became a bit impatient and said: "For goodness' sake, Mr. Simpson, please give the court credit for a little sense anyway!" Quick as an electric flash the lawyer responded: "But, your honor, in a motion for a rehearing the law says we cannot take cognizance of anything not developed at the trial. Keep Them Separated.?The Phildelphia Record tells a story of a little girl whose evening prayers are very detailed. First she says the Lord's prayer, then the one beginning "Now I lay me down to sleep," and then comes: "God bless grandpa and grand'"ma, and papa and mamma, and Uncle George and Uncle Charlie, and Aunt Kate," and so on, ad infinitum, until all the members of the family are included. Then she says, "Amen," and quickly adds "And God bless Mary." After she had finished the other night her mother asked her why she always said, "Amen," first, and then always added, "God bless Mary," as though U were a postscript, -wen, you Know, mamma," replied the tot. "I didn't want to get hex- mixed up with you ladies!" It may be unnecessary to add that Mary is the nursemaid. One On the Old Man.?"Do you know what my father would have done if I had been caught doing such a thing." asked an irate Memphis father of his little son. The latter did not consider the situation at all alarming and said in a rather jocular manner: "You^must have had a pretty bad daddy." This cool, sarcastic manner nettled the old gentleman all the more and in his loss of temper he exclaimed: "Well, sir; I want you to distinctly understand that I had a better daddv than you'll ever see the day to have."?

LESSON V, SECOND QUARTER, INTERNATIONAL SERIES, MAY 5. T?t of the LeRHon, John xxl, 15-22. Memory Verse*, 15-17?Golden Tex.-. John xxl, 17?Commentary Prepared by the Rev. D. 31. Steam*. [Copyright, 1901, by American Press Association.] 15. "So when they had dined Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, Lovest thou Me more than theseV" This was in connection with His appearing to the disciples at the sea of Galilee after Simon Peter and others had been c ?n nnnrrht nothinsr. The USlilll? U14 Ul||Ul i/vu lesson of this night is one that many of us need to learn more fully, that of im plicit reliance upon Him under all e'.r eumstances. They had not seen Him foi some time and did not know when they would see Him again nnd were evidently hungry nnd out of funds, and instead of relying upon Him, though invisible, whc had called them away from their nets, they do what seems a very reasonable and natural thing, they seek something to eat in the old way. Their efforts, however, are in vain, and when they break their fast it is not upon fish which they had caught, but upon food supernaturally provided for them by the Lord Jesus (compare verse 0 and I Kings xix. 5, 6). | As to fish, they caught none until at H<s command they in the morning cast the net again. 16. "He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, Lovest thou Me?" I quote from another in saying that the word translated "feed" in this verse is different from that in verses 15 and 17 and means to "rule" or "tend" and more especially regards those of the flock who are grown up and who require guidance and some measure, it may be, of restraint or correction, that they may be directed aright in the use of their growing strength, of which kind of feeding we have an eminent example in Peter's first epistle, which not only presents a clear and practical view of Christian doctrine, especially in regard to the purpose of our Lord's first coming, it also abounds in warnings of danger and in directions for those who are entering upon the sufferings and activities of the Christian life, Christ in Ilis sufferings being the great exemplar of the purity and meekness there recommended. 17. "He saith uuto him the third time. Simon, son of Jonas, Lovest thou Me?" Ponder this thrice repeated question in connection with Peter's threefold denial nnd ask your heart if it can say honestly. "Lord Thou knowest that I love Thee?" And, if so, arc you busy feeding lambs and sheep? The Spirit tells us by John that we are not to love iu word merely. but in deed and in truth (I John iii, IS). Peter tells us of a crown of glory us a special reward for those who willingly feed the lloek (1 I\?t. v, 1-4). There is also a crown for those who patiently endure and another for those who deny instead of pleasing self, yet another for those who win souls, and also one for all who love His appearing (Jas. i, 12; Rev. ii, 10; I Cor. ix, 24-27; I Thess. ii, 19; II Tim. iv. S). These we may receive from Him to cast at His feet (Rev. iv, 10). May His love so constrain us that, without much thought of the rewards, we shall be consumed with desire to please Him in all things (II Cor. v. 14, 15). IS, 19. "This spake He, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when He had spoken this He saith unto him. Follow Me." He had told him of his lifework, feeding lambs and sheep, and now He tells him of a martyr's death that shall be his privilege also. If we have truly received the Lord Jesus and oki t)inu cnrod hv T-Tic blnnrl u-p nrp re deemed, that in all things God may be glorified in us (I Pet. iv, 11; Phil, i, 20). and that He shall he magnified in our bodies whether by life or by death. Our good works are all prepared for us to walk in, and the time and manner of our departure out of this world are also arranged for us (Eph. ii. 10), so that He has not allowed us room to be anxious in anything. In II Pet. i. 14, the apostle seems to refer to this word from the Lord when he says, "Kuowiug that shortly 1 must put off my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me." It is a rare thing to know the time and manner of one's death, but it is a proper thing to be ever ready for the next step, whether it be out of the body or caug'.:t up in the body, to meet the Lord. To deny self and follow Christ covers the whole Christian life (Math, xvi, 24), and to that end we must be tilled with His Spirit. There should be no fear in our hearts, for lie only asks us to follow Him. never to go alone or our own way. 20. "Then Peter, turning about, sooth the disciple whofli Jesus loved following, who also leaned on His breast at supper." See the statement "the disciple Whom Jesus loved" again In verse 7 and . OO . ..! .. OP i . . I 111 ciih[>uts .Mil, ma, ?i-j. ami nonce that lie is not called "the disciple who loved Jesus," for our love to Christ is never worth mentioning, but we may well rejoice to sing of "the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me," and over gladly say, "Unto Ilim who loveth me and washed me from iny sins in His own blood" (Gal. ii. 20; Rev. i, 5). This last John himself loved to say. 21. "IVter. seeing him, saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?" This: is our tendency, to see others, to compare j ourselves with them, to woeder what is planned for them or what the Lord thinks of them, to see the beam which we imagine to be in their eye and to sit in judgment on them. It is a spleudid thing to see Jesus only and to determiuo that by the grace of God we will not henceforth judge others any more (Mark lx. 8; Rom. xiv, 13). 22. "Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou Me!" What a splendid word for every believer all through the journey of life! It reminds one of a Greek word used just three times and translated "strive," "labor." "study," but it is the same word each time and might be translated "Be ambitious" (Rom. xv, 20; II Cor. v, 9; I Thess. iv, 2), to preach the gospel where it was never preached before, to be well pleasing to ITin, nn.1 nllintlv niin/l /".no'u rtWn hll<s5 ness. Oh, to ever hear Him say, "What is that to thee?" He redeems us, lie owns us. All things are ours but ourselves, and we are wholly His to please Him (I Cor. iii, 21; vi, 19). Run with patience, looking unto Jesus (Heb. xii, 1, 2), which means such an intent looking that no one else and nothing else is seen. Notice in the next verse the saying that went ahrond and learn from it that the disciples, unlike many Christians today, did not associate cjfath with the comiug of Christ. piSfrllanroHis grading.

Mrs. Blakeney, who boards at Mr. Clyburn's ?Tii1 tonrhpa thp TTflile Gold Mine school. received a phone message that morning summoning her to Lancaster on account of the sudden death of her sjs- J ter, Miss Mabel Clark. The bridge over Lynche's creek, between Mr. Clyburn's and Kershaw, where Mrs. Blakeney would have to take the train, had . been washed away by the heavy rains \ of the day before. Phoning for a bug- < gy to be sent from Kershaw to the j creek for Mrs. Blakeney, Messrs. Cly- ] burn and Hilton accompanied her as i far as the creek to assist her in cross- < ing on some heavy plank which had < been placed across the creek and were i used as a footlog in times of a freshet. < "When about the center of the stream the plank gave way and they were all ] three precipitated into water over their i heads. Mr. Hilton was washed about j 150 yards down stream, when he sue- \ ceeded in catching the limb of a tree 1 which was hanging into the water and < managed to get out. Mr. Clyburn was ! not carried near so far before he caught i to the limb of a tree with one hand. Mrs. B. was washed against him and " she caught to his clothing. Here they ; remained, managing to keep their 1 heads above water until Mr. Hilton and a Negro man came to their rescue, i They soon got Mrs. Hilton to a place 1 of safety and returned for Mr. Clyburn. 1 He had become so chilled from being in 1 the water so long that he was hardly I able to do much towards getting out 1 himself, and it was with some difficulty that he was rescued. It was a very narrow escape for all of them. Mrs. B., 1 came up to Kershaw, reaching there in I time to take the freight train for Lan- ! caster. CHESTER. Lantern, April 23: Last Friday even- j ' ing, Jerry Alexander shot and killed Ben Hopkins. It happened at Jerry's gate, in front of his house. There had been some trouble before, and it is claimed that Ben went there in a threatening way and started a fuss. We are not informed as to what took place immediately before the killing. Jerry surrendered at once to the police. He is regarded as an industrious and peaceable man. Hopkins was wellknown in police circles as a bad character, and had the reputation among the Negroes of being quarrelsome and overbearing W. A. Barber, Esq., was in town last Thursday, returning to New York from a business trip to Charleston Jake McFadden shot Hilliard McCullough, a mile or two from town in the direction of the Poor House, Sunday. It is said to have been accidental?a case of fooling with a pistol. The ball struck near the heart and ranged around the ribs. The wound is not thought to be serious. McFadden is in jail James Earle, aged two months, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Horner, was found dead in bed yesterday morning; but the child had never been well Henry Jones, 4-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W.

We learn that the neighbors are willing to aid in the work Miss Jennie. White, who has been teaching for a number of years at Louisville, Ga., has been seriously ill with appendicitis. She was taken to a hospital in Augusta last Wednesday. The operation was successful and she was doing well at the latest report. THE PARTY OF PROGRESS. Such Is the Democracy When It Is at Itself. The Democratic party is the party of progress. It will succeed, as Tilden said, when it has the courage to be democratic. The recent municipal elections in the west have driven that lesson home for the hundreth time. After eight years of wandering among blind trials of retrogression, each leading to staggering defeat, the Democracy turns to the front and finds victory. The men who led the triumphant Democracy in Cleveland, in Chicago, in Toledo and in a dozen other cities, were alive themselves and made their I campaigns on live issues, ouun uuuga as the public ownership of public utilities and the preservation of municipal water fronts from corporate raids won the favor of the voters, as they always do when they are fairly presented. It is evident that the silver mummy has been finally sealed in its sarcophagus. In the old strongholds of free coinage the party has lost ground; in the cities whose people refuse to tolerate attacks on the monetary standard it has gained. Both silver men and their opponents thus recognize the axtinction of the issue. It is evident, too, that there is no life in what is inaccurately described as "anti-imperialism." Real anti-irnperialism, of course, is imperialism and irresistible. Opposition to the policy of acquiring "subjects" and gov-1 arning them through military procon- j suls who suppress newspapers and deport crities, will never subside. But the program of abandoning the Philippines to an oriental despotism instead of endowing them with Ameri?an freedom cannot be made popular hv pfllliner it anti-imnerialism. Free silver Is a cumbrous financial system that was useful In Its day, but has been outgrown. To go back to it now would be retrogression, not progress. So would be the abandonment of the Philippines. The Democracy can never prosper as a retrogressive party. Whenever it has flourished it has been as a party of action?one that has embodied American energy and courage?one that has needed only to know that it has been right and then has gone ahead.?New Fork Journal. HOW TO GET RICH. loe Wheeler Talks Sound Sense to Oenizens of New York's Bowery. The New York Worlds says: General Joseph Wheeler, who made i notable "hit" with the people of :his country by his gallantry in the Spanish war, made another "hit" almost as notable with citizens of the Bowerv last night. He spoke under :he auspices of the Church Temperance Society at Squirrel Inn, No. 131 Bow;ry, 'and the representative audience :hat packed the assembly room Cheerid him to the echo. General Wheeler's speech was appropriate for the place inasmuch as n telling his hearers "How to Succeed in Life" he vigorously condemned the jse of liquor and tobacco. He used two prominent men as models of success?J. P. Morgan and Charles M. Schwab. Incidentally he said that no ace could equal Irishmen in fighting. "During all my life," said General Wheeler, "I have had requests from /oung men for letters which would tielp them to get situations. I always say to them: 'Go to the place of business where you want to get work and tell the proprietor that you have come to make your fortune and are willing to work hard for It, and that if he will Slve you a trial you will come without pay for a month. " 'After you have got a place be always ready to work. To do that you must not go to the theater. You must so to bed early and get up early, so as to be at your place of business five minutes before you have to. Then when you are told to do something, do It and come back so quickly that they won't know you've been gone. In a year you will be dictating salaries, and not they. "In the last few years business conditions have undergone a great change. These big combinations have beeii created, and, while some people believe they have done a great deal of harm, my advice to young men is to adapt themselves to conditions as they find them, and not try to change them, because they can't do it. "I meet every night a man who 19 years ago had no better chance than any man in this hall. He had a place at $6 a week in the Homestead Iron works. There he did his duty to the best of his power, and every time a man was wanted for a place a little better than the one he held, he seemed to be the man selected. In that 19 years he has climbed up, till now he controls a corporation with a capital of $1,100,000,000, an amount as great as our country spent in the first 40 years of its existence. "I learned from this man, Mr. Schawb, that he had never used any tobacco or liquor in his life. The oth er night I said to him, 'I've been told that these big corporations, all other things being equal, that man Is preferred for promotion who neither drinks nor smokes." 'That Is my invariable rule with the two hundred thousand or three hundred thousand men I empoly,' said he. 'I find that when two men are equal otherwise, the one who doesn't smoke or drink is the most valuable.' "There never was an instance on earth of a man working himself to death. It's the most harmless dissipation a man can go into." General Wheeler went on to say that many a man killed himself by whisky and tobacco whose death was assigned by the doctors to overwork. "No man can succeed," he earnestly declared, "in following frivolity instead of duty." General Wheeler then went on to eulogize J. P. Morgan, and told of a recent conversation between some "heavy financiers," who said that Mr. Morgan got $15,000,000 in commissions for organizing the United States Steel corporation, and who laid his success to his record for always strictly keeping his word. His Tires Were Punctured.?"After all Aguinaldo is not a bad fellow," said D. K. Paulding, an Ohio man who has been representing a New York firm in China for t.wo years, at the Hotel Imperial today. "I think I can tell of a side of his life the public has heard but little about. I often met Aguinaldo while he was in Hong Kong. I His favorite diversion was an afternoon spin awheel, and I must confess he was one of the nattiest figures on Governor's road. He wore the regulation cycle costume and was invariably accompanied by his secretary, Slxto Lopez, now in Boston. He rode a high-geared American wheel, and, like most athletes of small build, was a graceful and strong rider. He took his bicycle witn mm to Manna, ana i doubt very much if Funston could have caught him had it been a chase of 'best man' on wheels. Funston is a great fighter, but if Senor Aguinaldo's tires had been in condition he would not be in a Manila guardhouse. I know, for I have seen him throw dust in many a pair of eyes on the 'Rotten Row,* of Hong Kong, just before Dewey set sail for Cavite."?Pittsburg Dispatch. Here's to You, Young Men.?Colonel Watterson, of the Louisville CourierJournal, says: "Let the young men of the commonwealth come to the front and take the helm; the intelligent, the brave, and the ardent young men; our best beloved with their breezy sense of self-sufficiency, their buoyant, all-conquering optimism, their keen and live sense of right and wrong, their freedom from old personal grudges and their immunity from the mud of the old ruts.
