tumorous department. Avoid Entangling Alliance. "I had been told long enough before I got to "Joe" Davis's cabin that he had had a fued with the Harpers for the last 15 years and that at least a couple of lives had been sacrificed." said a Detroit man who makes periodical trips in the mountain district of the south. "I kept clear of the subject until we got our pipes out after supper and then I approached it cautiously. I did not find him at all reticent however. " 'Yes. I have been fussin* with the Harpers for a long time, now,' he calmly replied. " 'How did it Degin r " Tradin' mewls, I reckon.' " 'Isn't that a pretty small thing to quarrel over for 15 years?' " 'Yes, It sorter looks that way; but Harper killed my brother Dan, you know.' " 'And some one killed his brother Sam,' "' 'Deed they did. Had to do it to even up, you know.' " 'Well, why not let that end It?' I persisted. 'If you say you'll cry quits I'll go and see Harper and see if he won't do the same.' " 'I'll think it over,' he slowly answered, and the subject was dropped. "I was given a shake-down on the floor when bedtime 'came, and when it was supposed that I was asleep the cabineer said to his wife: " 'Would you make up with the Harpers, Linda?' " 'Reckon not,' she replied. " 'Why not?' " 'Bekase, if you do his "Jim" will want to marry our Mary and our Jane will want to marry his "Tom" and we'll git so tangled up that the only fun yo'll hev will be rollin' down hill on a log.' "Next morning the man said he'd thought the whole matter over carefully and had come to the conclusion that mixing things up might be dangerous and he would accompany me for half a mile on my journey in hopes to get a shot at a Harper and keep matters straight."?Chicago Journal. Chauncby and the Tramp.?I cannot resist here telling a story concerning Chauncey Depew, says Mitchell Chappie, in the National Magazine. It is too good to be original, but the senator must be in it, just as Lincoln was in all the stories of the past period. A tramp met the senator and asked him, in that easy, velvet-tongue way: "Would you kindly assist a?,' etc. Chauncey, of course, is an easy mark, and. as he fanned himself after extracting the quarter, the tramp inquired: "And who may I say was so kindhearted ?" "Oh, never mind. That's all right." "liut, in after years, when I recall those whose tender hearts " "Never mind, my good fellow." "Then I cannot accept, it sir. I must let my friends now " "Well, tell 'em it was Grover Cleveland, and let it go at that." The tramp put the quarter back in his pocket leisurely and shook his head. "Now, my good fellow, may I ask your name?" "A gentleman in distress is loath to a confess." "Yes. but if I have your name I may be able to help you." "No, my pride will not permit." "But allow me to know whom I have had the pleasure of meeting in this happy way." "Oh, well, tell 'em it was Chauncey L>epew, and let it go at that." Chauncey fanned himself and let it go. Sam's Narrow Escape.?Sam was a six-months probationer in the Zlon M. E. congregation of his neighborhood in rural Tennessee, says the Philadelphia Times. When he came up before the authorities of the church for examination as to his fitness for admission to all the rights and privileges of the church, he looked rather hopeless, although there seemed to be a genial disposition to forget his poultry-thieving past; and his wife, too, looked none too certain of Sam's fitness. He was asked: "You've lived the life the past halfyear, Samuel?" "Ye'sar." "Stole no chichens, Samuel?" "No sah?none." "Nor taken to yourself your neighbors' eggs, fruit or sucklings?" "No'sah?no'sah." Sam was accepted after this catechism, but did not seem relieved until service was over and he was hurrying home with his wife, who expressed her joy that he had gone through. "An' I'se glad, too, Marfa," he said; "but it's good for mah black soul he didn't say nuffin' 'bout ducks!" Making It Plain.?"This here piece in the paper makes use of the word 'superfluity' several times," remarked the man who was sitting on the empty soapbox. "Now what do you take superfluity to be. "I dunno's I kin exactly tell you," answered the man in rags , "but I know what it means right enough." "Can you illustrate it?" "M"?yes, I think so. Superfluity is a good deal the same thing ez a feller's wearin' a necktie when he's got a beard." A man who was "wanted" in Russia had been photographed in six different positions, and the pictures were duly circulated among the police departments. The chief of one of these wrote to headquarters a few days after the issue of the set of portraits, and stated: "Sir, I have duly received the portraits of the six miscreants whose capture is desired. I have arrested five of them, and the sixth is under observation, and will be secured shortly."?New York Herald. JC'.V "The sun," quoted the Briton, proudly, "never sets on British territory."

May 24: It Is reported that In certain sections of the county young peaches, cherries and other fruits are dropping in large numbers from the trees.

Drennan, accompanied by a stranger, whom they introduced as Mr. Spencer. After introductions were over the family and other visitors? Mr. and Mrs. Sid Willeford, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Wylie?took their seats, Mrs. Lewark going back into the house. Upon being urged by Mrs. Drennan to go back and talk to the straner as he had called especially on her, Mrs. Lewark went back and began conversation, when, to her utter amazement, the stranger turned out to be her brother, whom she nor Mrs. McFadden had not seen for 25 years, and consequently neither of them recognized him Mr. Egbert R. McElwee, who formerly lived in Rock Hill, has been in the city for the past few days. He is now located in Columbia, where he is engaged in the insurance business. Mr. McElwee expects to open a branch office here in the future, this being the object of his visit Bob Sibley, colored, was arrested at the Highland Park mill Thursday afternoon by Policeman Giles and placed in the guard house.

Lantern, May 23: Mr. I. N. Cross says that he was glad to get back on South Carolina's soil. That he didn't like Texas much, but that if he were going to settle in the west he would go to Birmingham, Ala., as that is the most desirable place to live he saw while he was away Rev. James Russell preached to the Catawba Indians at their reservation near Rock Hill last Sabbath, and he wants to make a simple request of the good people of this community. The Indians are 75 in number and they made a total failure with their crops last year. They are well nigh destitution. They can't attend services on account of not i cr T-T c> told of Having ounauic vivM ? an instance where one garment had given four different persons an opportunity of attending services. If you have any clothing that you are not using, just leave it at Mr. J. J. Stringfellow's drug store and it will be forwarded to "the Indians.

Zach Butler, the Georgia preacher and poet, has been the centre of curiosity on the streets this week. He reached the city Tuesday, and on that afternoon he preached on the streets. He attracts the attention of every one on account of his long hair. It hasn't been trimmed in three years and it floats freely over his back. We had an interesting conversation with him on Wednesday afternoon. He says that the reason of his long hair is only a matter of taste with him, that he is exposed much and it is somewhat of a protection to him. He is a Methodist and goes about everywhere preaching. He has spent much time within the past year or so in the mountains of western North Carolina. His mountain trip is frequently told by him and is well worth the hearing. He says that he has been in love a thousand times; but he is still an old bachelor. He will probably remain in the city for several days. His home is in Gainesville, Ga., but he spends all of his time in traveling. He wishes us to say that he will be here until Monday and that on Sunday afternoon at 6 o'clock he wnl preach, under the town clock on this subject: "I want you to be saved; how to be saved?there is but one way you can be saved." In his discourse, he will, by request give his famous mountain trip. He says everybody is cordially invited and seats are free. GASTON. Gastonia Gazette, May 23: A Negro, John Hart, who was yesterday discharged from jail on paying a fine of $30 for assault with a deadly weapon, was about 10 minutes later arrested by Chief Alexander on the charge of committing a serious crime last March. He was brought over and placed in the city jail to await a preliminary hearing, which will be given him today Misses Lula and Edna Kiddle and Lena Wilson, of Begonia, went to Charleston on No. 37 yesterday morning by way of Spartanburg, where they expected to be joined by Mrs. M. J. Clarke from Tennessee. Mr. J. B. F. Kiddle and Mr. Jno. W. Kiddle and Mr. Henry Wilson, boarded the train to "see them off." Mr. Wilson jumped off as the train started, but before the other gentlemen took a notion to get off the train was under headway for < Bessemer City. There they got off and j employed a team to bring them back to 1 Gastonia. They "saw the ladles off" 1 at Gastonla and the ladies "saw them off" at Bessemer City After a pro- | longed illness of six months with a complication of diseases, Miss Lizzie Ratchford died at her home near Union i Tuesday, May 20th, at 8.30 p. m. At the time of ner death, she was in her \ 42nd year, having been born in Decern- j ber, 1860. Her mother, Mrs. M. E. ] Ratchford, and one brother, Mr. Robert F.

How n White Miiii'n Lucky Draw Laid Out "Buck Joneph." "There may be citizens in Deadwood who remember Buck Joseph," said the man with the taper fingers as he permitted a smile to lurk around the corners of his mouth. "Buck was a full-fledged Sioux Indian, but he had learned a thing or two in his time. One of 'em was how to play poker, and another was how to hold the best hand. He was early on the ground at Deadwood and he was a winner from the start. "There were some pretty slick gamblers hanging out there in the old days. They believed a good deal in luck, but a good deal more in fingering the cards. None of them had Buck Joseph's sleight-of-hand, nowever. They tried him on time and again, , and they worked all the arts known to the profession; but he was still ahead of the game. As a last resort, they sent over to Abilene, Kan., for , me. I'm not going to say what I was doing over there; but the boys who ( knew me best were ready to bet 2 to 1 that I downed Buck at his own game. "When I reached Deadwood," con- , tinued the narrator, "I had $800 in cash ( with me. Old Lo came up smiling with , an enual amount and we sat down for an all-day tea party. I started out as j square as a dot, depending on luck alone, and I had lost $500 before I made a change. Then I went in for nothing i less than flushes, and inside of an hour j I got my money back. Buck knew I | was beating him at his own game, and he laid for me. On one of his deals he got four aces and I knew it. I got , king, queen and jack of diamonds, and it was $20 to come in. "I drew a long breath and chipped and drew two cards to his one. My heart thumped as I found a ten and nine of diamonds in my hand?a straight flush. Of course, Buck knew there was only one hand higher than his, and he came for me with bets of $50. He had friends to borrow from and so had I, and when he finally called me we had $4,000 in cash on the table, and he had three ponies, two squaws and five papooses up against my watch and pin. He was getting ready to yell when I showed my hand. His yell died away, and he sat there like a stone man for five minutes. Then he slowly rose up, gathered his blankets around him, and as he walked out of the place he said: "'Humph!! Heap smart white man! Heap ass Injun!'"?Detroit Free Press. Three Chinese Fables. Chinese literature, almost unknown to western peoples, Is rich In parables i and fables. Dr. W. A. P. Martin in his book, "The Lore of Cathay," gives several which may not be as good as Aesop, but are greatly superior to those of some of his modern imitators. A tiger who had never seen an ass was terrified at the sound of his voice ( and was about to run away when the donkey turned his heels and prepared to kick. "If that is your mode of attack," said , the tiger, "I know how to deal with you." In another fable the donkey gets even. , A tiger captured a monkey. The monkev begged to be released on the 1 score of his insignificance and prom- , ised to show the tiger where he might find a more valuable prey. The tiger complied, and the monkey conducted him to a hillside where an ass was feeding, an animal which the tiger had never before seen. "My good brother." said the ass to the monkey, "hitherto you have always brought me two tigers. How is it that you have brought me only one today?" The tiger lied for his life. Thus a I ready wit wards off danger. The principle of the next fable the ^ Chinese always apply to their European instructors in the art of war. A tiger, finding a cat very prolific in levices for catching game placed himself under her instruction. At length ne was told there was nothing more to be learned. "Have you taught me all your tricks?" "Yes, replied the cat. "Then," said the tiger," you are of no further use, and so I shall eat you. The cat, however, sprang lightly into the branches of a tree and smiled it the tiger s disappointment, one nau not taught the tiger all her tricks. Bnhylonlnn Brick*. When M. Morgan opens his exhibition at the Grand Palais on May 1, of the results of his excavations at Susa It will be to give a very fairly complete history of the Kingdom of Elam as it was nearly 2,000 years before Christ. Sculptures, bronzes, enamels and numbers of terra-cotta tiles bearing cuneiform inscriptions relative to ileeds, treaties and bills of sales have been brought to light by M. Morgan and his companions, and the majority have been translated. rne most interesting discovery is a pillar about 8 feet high, sculptured out of hard stone and containing the original text of several laws framed by Khammourabi, king of Babylon, in the twentieth century before Christ, with a protralt of that monarch, who was a contemporary of Abraham's. Here is an extract of the laws as quoted by the Matin: If a fire breaks out in a house, and any one having come to he aid of the landlord commits a theft, he is thrown into the fire. "If any one breaks into a house to steal and is caught he shall be killed and buried before the spot where he broke in. "If any one, without the owner s permission, cuts down a tree In an orchard, he shall be fined half a nina of silver. "If a husband conveys house, field or orchard to his wife by a title deed after the husband's death the children shall respect the title deed and the wife shall retain her property, leaving it after death to her favorite son. "If any one has hired an ox and illtreats it so that it dies, he shall restore it ox for ox to the landlord. "If, without witness or contract, any one makes a deposit of any goods and disputes arise, there is no recourse to justice. '?Paris dispatch to London Leader. An Unusual Feb.?After a large wedding In Washington, the "best man" started at hardly an hour's notice for South Africa. On his return to Washington, after an absence of some 18 months, he received the warmest sort of welcome from his old associates. A dinner given in his honor afforded the first occasion since the wedding for donning evening dress, and in the midst of the evening, having occasion to feel in his waistcoat pocket for something he electrified the party by drawing a $100 bank note. Where had it come from? Who had put it there? His fellow guests had all sorts of suggestions to offer, none of which seemed satisfactory. Early the next morning the truth flashed across his mind. He called upon the clergyman who had performed the marriage ceremony. "You remember the fact, I sup pose," said the visitor, "of marrying Mr. H? and Miss G? about a year and a half ago?" "Oh, very well," answered the clergyman. "I see them constantly. They attend my church. "Then I hope you will pardon a rather delicate question, asked In strict confidence. How much did you receive as your fee on that occasion?" "I will return frankness with frankness." and the clergyman smiled whimsically. "It was the strangest fee that ever came my way. After the ceremony the best man, with a profusion of thanks, slipped into my hand a small sliver of plug tobacco, wrapped in a wad of paraffin paper!" ?Harper's Magazine. horse and poor look Ing liumesB Is the ,i?|l worst kind of a com- 7*"<?3a blnutlon.
