That's the trouble with him. He's been trying to live up to them. What does he do? Everything that he is told to do, and when he isn't doing anything else he worries because the rules are so conflicting. And is It undermining his health? Of course. It would undermine any one's health. What are some of the rules? wen, nere are two 01 mem; only a light breakfast" and "breakfast should be the best meal of the day." What are some of the others? "Run or walk two miles before breakfast," and "never attempt to do anything on an empty stomach." Any more? "Take a cold bath the first thing in the morning" and "remember the shock to the system of suddenly encountering heat or cold is very injurious." Anything else? "Never use a pillow" and "the most refreshing sleep is_that when the head is elevated." Is that all? Oh, dear, no! There are hundreds of other rules. For instance: "Do not get in the habit of sleeping in the day time"- and "always take a nap in the afternoon." "Eat only at meal times" and "eat whenever you are hungry:" eat plenty of fresh meat: "get up at 5 o'clock every morning* and "sleep until thoroughly rested, no matter how late It is." I'm not surprised that he looks hag gard and ill. Neither is any one else who knows what he is trying to do.?Edinburg Scotchman. Made Eany. The diffident young man had wanted to propose to the girl; but for the life of him he did not know how to go about it, says an exchange. He read books on the subject and sought information from men who had had experience; but while the theories were admirable in every instance, he found, to his sorrow, that the practice thereof was quite a different thing. He was walking with her one evening, thinking over these things, when her shoe became untied. She stuck out her pretty little foot with a smile looked down at it, and he fell on his knees and tied the lace. Then he walked on with her, and the shoe became untied again. The third time it happened he was as ready as before. "See if you can't tie a knot that will stick," she said, as he worked away at it. He looked up at her tenderly. His chance had come. "If I can't I know a man who can," he at once said. "Do you want him to tie it?" she asked, coquettishly. "Yes," he replied. She jerked her foot away. "It's the minister," he said, and he smiled to himself as he finished the work. It was easy after that, and the banns were proclaimed on three following Sundays. Shaved a "Dead One."?William Jennings Bryan made a flying visit to Washington last night arriving at midnight from the west and spending three or four hours with a considerable company of friends in his old quarters at the residence of Cotton T. Bride on Capitol Hill. The correspondent of the rnuacieipnia meager says: rne ieaaer of the western Democracy was in a bouyant and witty frame of mind, and told many good stories of himself. He said that not long ago in a western town he had occasion to get shaved. The barber, a colored man, felt highly complimented by the opportunity of shaving a man who had been a candidate for the presidency, and when the operation was over, Mr. Bryan gave him a silver dollar. Some weeks afterward. traveling that way, he met an old friend in the same town, who told him he had got the barber in trouble. "Hojv's that?" said Mr. Bryan. "Why, he has been up before the Barber's union, had charges preferred against him, and was then put on trial for shaving you." "I don't understand that," replied Mr. Bryan. "I paid all right."

Accident Not Fatal.?John Lockwood, an old sailor whose home is the almshouse, got a furlough and a couple of dollars yesterday and went to celebrate, says the Philadelphia Times. He celebrated in a grogshop, and when he got as far as Thirty-fourth and Spruce streets he stumbled and fell. Passersby were horrified at the sight they saw when they looked at him. His left leg, below the knee, had dropped off. trouser leg and all, and Lockwood was making frantic efforts to get up. One man ran all the way to the police station at Thirty-seventh and Spruce street for a patrol wagon to take the injured sailor to a hospital. Several other men, fearful to pick up the severed leg, yet wanting to help Lockwood. stood and offered him consolation. Then the wagon came. "Shiver me timbers, you bloomin* lubbers," shouted tne old salt to the patrolman: "can't you see it's nothin* but a yardarm? Gimme it and I'll put it on again." They gave it to him, he put it on, the crowd disappeared and the wagon took Lockwood back to the almshouse. Made Matters Worse.?Towne?

Miss McConnell accompanied her friend to Rock Hill, returning to Yorkville yesterday afternoon It will be a subject of some surprise and much regret to our readers to know that Prof. A. R. Banks contemplates leaving Rock Hill before the first of September. He has been elected to the position of superintendent of the graded school at Kershaw, and has notified the board of his acceptance. CHESTER. Lantern, July 29: Mr Paul N. Moore, of Yorkville, spent a few days last week at Captain E. P. Moore's Mr. Newman McCollum, of Leeds, died at the Wylie house Saturday. He was a painter by profession and was doing painting at Whitmire when he went on the excursion to Atlanta, Ga., last Wednesday. Upon his return on Friday, he went to Mr. John Frazer's livery stable and complained of being sick. He soon Decame unconscious and was taken to the Wylie house where he died at 12 o'clock Saturday. Dr. J. M. Brice gave him all the medical treatment possible. He was poisoned with paint. His remains were taken to Cavalry Baptist church for interment, where he held his membership. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. H. N. McCollum. His mother and two sisters, Mrs. C. B. McCollum and Mrs. E. D. Wllks, and brother, Sam McCollum, survive him. He was about 23 years old Mr. D. B. Lumpkin, postmaster, who is also called the mayor of Rocky Mount, was in the city yesterday. He thinks that the way the authorities at Rock Hill did him on Saturday was little less than an outrage, especially a place that cannot boast of more than Rock Hill. All unbeknownst to him the first thing he knew a "bluecoat" cried out to him "Five dollars there for spitting on the side walk.'But as Mr. Lumpkin was not familiar with the ordinances he was let off by paying $1. It seems that Mr. Lumpkin is willing to let Rock Hill paddle her own canoe so far as he is concerned, and if he wants to go where he may get advantages where he may be at ease and feel at liberty, why there is no place like Chester. Chester will do him right every time Coroner J. H. Gladden held a preliminary Friday over the body of Nathan Smith, colored, who died Thursday from injuries received from earth falling on him at Mr. J. R. Simrill's brick yard. The examination was held by Dr. S. W. Pryor. On Sunday night the 27th a preliminary was held over the body of Mr. Jerome B. Stokes, of Cemetery street, who died suddenly of convulsions at 7 o'clock that evening. Dr. Pryor examined the body. Mr. Stokes was a Confederate veteran and was 62 years old. He leaves a wife and one daughter, Mrs. T. D. Wix. LANCASTER. Review, July 30: After lingering for weeks between life and death, Mr. Wm. Ganson, one of Lancaster's best and most prominent citizens, breathed his last at 1.30 o'clock last Saturday morning. at his residence on Dunlap street. The news of his death will be received with profound sadness and regret throughout the county, as it was in this community, for there is scarcely a home in 25 miles of Lancaster where his name has not been a household word for a number of years. One of the pioneers of modern, progressive commercialism in this part of the state, and a man of infinite tact, geniality and affaoility, as well as personal magnetism, the name c.f his customers and friends was legion Mr. Ganson was a native of Scotland, a son of David Ganson, and was in his 49th year, having been born the 10th of April, 1854. He came to the United States in 1876, locating in Winnsboro, after first spending a few weeks in New York city. In 1882 he moved from Winnsboro to Lancaster, where he continued to reside until his untimely death. On his arrival he opened a small mercantile establishment, in partnership with Mr. J. L. Mimnaugh, now the merchant prince of Columbia. After a year or so he bought out the interest of his partner and continued the business alone. From the day he first opened his doors to the public of Lancaster up to a couple of years ago, when he was forced on account of failing health to retire from active business, Mr. Ganson enjoyed an exceptionally fine trade, its volume steadily and rapidly growing year by year, enabling him to accumulate a large and handsome estate. Mr. Ganson was not duly an eminently successful business man. but a generous hearted, public spirited citizen as well. He contributed liberally of his means to charitable and other worthy objects, and was an active supporter and worker in all public enterprises. At the time of his death he was a director and large stockholder of the Bank of Lancaster, and a director and treasurer of the Lancaster and Chester railroad company. He was also interested in the Lancaster cotton mills. He was a staunch friend of the cause of education, and it was largely due to his work and Influence that Lancaster is'to have a $15,000 school building. , GASTON.

THE FAMOUS CAMPANILE. Remarkable Old Tower That Fell at Venice Recently. The Campanile, or detached bell-tower, of St. Mark's church. Venice, 322 feet high, fell with a great crash into the piazza a few days ago, where It lies a heap of ruins, says the Indianapolis News. The famous church and the palace of the Doges are safe, but a corner of the royal palace was damaged. Repairs on the Campanile, in which ominous cracks were noticed Sunday, were to have begun yesterday. The ruins, surrounded by a cordon of troops, are piled up to a height of 100 feet, and the Piazza di San Marco and the adjoining squares are coverel with debris and dust. Investigation shows that the Campanile, in falling, carried away the Sansovino Logetta and the library of the royal palace. Fortunately, promonitory signs of the collapse allowed a partial clearance of the piazza, and, consequently, there were no fatalities, but a rew persons were injured. a nine before the collapse a noise of falling stones within the bell-tower warned the shop-keepers, workmen and tourists of the Impending disaster, and the latter fled for their lives, crying, "The Campanile is falling!" When the disaster was comprehended Venetians were seen in the street bemoaning the destruction of one of the oldest art treasures in the kingdom. Four of Sansovino's statues of Venetian nobles were demolished in the Sansovino loggetta, while a beautiful example of a Paul Veronese painting was destroyed in the palace. The wing of an angel from the top of the bell-tower was thrown down to the front door of the cathedral, smasning the Bando column, which was hurled 35 feet, just escaping the column supporting the south angle of the cathedral and thus averting a more serious disaster. The fall of the tower produced a very thick red dust, which spread like a hanging cloud over the city. This, with the rumbling, volcanic noise, startled the inhabitants of the most remote suburbs. Thousands of soldiers and po lice aided in allaying the panic. The deputies of Venice have telegraphed 'o the government at Rome for authorization to establish a lottery for the purpose of raising funds to rebuild'the bell tower. The municipal council of Venice has decided to open a preliminary fund of 500,000 lire (about $100,000) for the rebuilding of the Campanile and the Sansovino logetta. A public subscription will also be opened for the same purpose. Queen Margherita and Count Von Bulow, the German imperial chancellor, have wired expressions of regret. Prof. Belar, head of the seismic observatory at Laibach, Austria, is of the opinion that the earthquake in Salonica, European Turkey, completed the destruction of the Campanile, which had shown the effects of the recent disturbances of earth and sea in northern Italy. Prof. Belar says he noticed a marked inclination of the Campanile at Easter. It was upon the top of the Campanile that Galileo, in 1609, while on a visit from the neighboring town of Padua, where he was a professor in the university, set up the first telescope, and there under the patronage of the Doge Donato, studied the stars. The tower was 40 feet square at the base and 322 feet high, including a pinnacle in the shape of a pyramid, the summit being crowned by the figure of an angel with outstretched wings. It was founded in 888, restored in 1329, provided with a marble top in 1417, and in 1517 was crowned with the figure of an angel nearly 16 feet high. There were bronze statues of Peace, Apollo, Mercury and Pallas, on the coping of the Campanile, and its fine bronze doors were much admired. At the top of the tower a fire watchman, with a telescope, was continually stationed. At sunset a magnificent spectacle could be witnessed from its lop. You could climb the tower if you liked, upon the payment ot a tee ot 10 cents, but you had to take a guide with you?one of the several who were always standing around the entrance. He pointed out the objects of interest within your vision, the narrow, crooked streets, which, as you looked down upon them, did not seem wide enough for people to pass; the clusters of towers, domes and red tiled roofs; while fur away were the snow-topped Alps, 1 the Eugunean hills and the heights of : Istria. You climbed, not by steps, but by a series of inclined planes, and it is said that Napoleon, to show his contempt, rode up the Campanile on horse- I back, accompanied by two Austrian officers. He was in the habit of doing 1 that sort of thing. They tell a similar ! story of his climbing the Giralda at Se- 1 villo. The reason they made strangers take guides when they ascended the structure, was to prevent them from jumping out of the windows. There ( have been many voluntary and invol- ] untary suicides in Galileo's tower. 1 There was said to be an almost iri sistible inclination on the part of soi people to jump out of the windo1 while they were looking at the piaz below. On the east side of the Campan was the vestibule or logetta, an exqul ite little building, one of the daintU examples of architecture, with bron doors, bas-reliefs and statues, whi was built in 1540 by Sansovino, a: lately restored. It was once a rende vous of the Nobili and afterwards waiting room for the guards durl the sessions of the great council, b recently had been desecrated by t city as the headquarters of the Toi bola, or public lottery.

HOW TICKLEFOOT GOT ITS NAM The Qneer Origin of the Design tion of n Texan Postoffloe. Many years ago I heard of TicklefO' a small postofflce situated In the ej< corner of Grimes county. Having soi timber land to look after out near the I visited the place. None of the re: dent farmers near the postofflce, coi give me any information until I met veteran of some 84 years of age, w had in early days lived around that 1 cinity, and he related to me the folio' ing story: Many years ago there lived in the 1 cinity of Ticklefoot a man of midt age who came there a stranger frc whence no one knew. He was a ve non-communicative man about his ec ly history. Being pleasant and agree ble in manner and speech, he soon w the confidence of his neighbors. The were at the time he settled there, sev ral good-looking widows who were good circumstances. The newcomer bought a small pie of land and prepared to farm. Duri the time he was fixing up his place commenced to pay marked attention one of the widows and after a sht courtship, they were married. F more than a year their married life a peared to be a happy one as far as t neighbors could see. Shortly after tl period the wife was found dead in b< There was no sign of violence and t neighbors and friends who came the funeral, supposed that the wife h died of heart disease. After she w buried her husband administered her separate estate rtnd acquired t property that she owned before h marriage to him. In the course of eighteen months married again. His second wife w also a widow with considerable pro erty. After about sixteen months married life the second wife was fou dead in bed without any symptoms violence. The physician who practic nearby, was called to make an exan nation of the corpse, and after viewii the remains, gave it as his opinion th the woman died of heart disease. Bo the friends of the man and the de woman, after the burial of the seco wife, became suspicious and avoid his place. None of the neighbors ca ed upon him for a long time; and wh the time for mourning had passed a; the twice widower in three years, e templed to pay court to anotner wiao his attentions were received coldly. 1 was also shunned by tne young ladi in the settlement. Shortly after these experiences in a tempting to get a third wife he disa peared from the settlement and retur ed in about three months with a b: buxom woman, whom he claimed as 1 wife. They did not live so happily t gether as he and his previous wives h; done, and stories were frequently cl culated in the settlement that they h; serious quarrels. One night about o'clock the third wife of the ma awoke the nearest neighbor, who liv about a mile distant, and when adm ted to the house, her hair was dishe eled and her garments torn, and s had a wild, scared look on her face. After being quieted down and a~.k to explain her unnatural appearan and looks, she stated that her husbai had of late frequently attempted tickle her to death, and last night hi almost succeeded. She further sa that she believed that his two previo wives had been tickled to death. Wh< asked to explain she told the followin Her husband was very devoted ai kind for a year after their marriag but after that began to grow cross ai would find fault with everything s did .around the house, and within t last two weeks, after retiring, he wou commence to tickle her. He continu this nearly every night until she b came so nervous that she would laui if he would point his finger at her, ai that night she went to bed before hii tired out. and was soon asleep. About 11 o'clock she awoke and foui herself tied down in bed and her bu band sitting at the foot of the bed tic ling the bottom of her feet. She a tempted to rise and could not, and ir plored him to leave her, but he conti ued his hellish wofk till she could stai it no longer. With almost superhums effort she broke the bonds with whii she was tied and rushed out of t] house. The next morning the whole settl ment was aroused and went to tl house to find it deserted.
