He hadn't been seated more than five minutes when he turned to the man on his right and said: "This would be a pleasant day If It wasn't so unpleasant" The other did not answer yes or no, but looked rather doubtfully at the nhiinsnnher. There was silence for a minute or two, and then the old man leaned over and whispered: "My friend, do you know that It would always be daylight If It wasn't for darkness?" "I believe dot vhas so, but I neffer remember of It before," replied the other, as he smiled over the new Idea. "Yes, It Is so, and do you know? h^s It ever occurred to you?that If death did not overtake us we should live right along for all time?" "Vhas dot possible!" exclaimed the other, turning sideways on the seat to get a better view of his companion and exhibiting a lively interest. "It is possible, sir, and if we didn't sleep we should always remain awake. Think of that." "By golly!?by golly ! !" "You seem to be astonished," said the man with the satchel. "Have you never pondered on these things?" "Vhell, not a great deal. I keeps a saloon by Coney Island, you know, und I don't haf much time to ponder.

"But why don't the car rise up and travel through the air like a balloon?" "Because she wasn't made of silk." "There it Is again," said the philospher, as he looked tired in the face and made a weary gesture; "people trudge along through the world and take no heed of anything. Now, sir, has it ever occurred to you that we would never want to eat If we didn't feel hungry?" "No, by golly, no!" exclaimed the other. "I haf neffer remembered sooch a thing in my life before. You vhas a smart man." "Yes, rather smart for an old one, but you should think of these things. What if I should tell you that the sun never could set if it did not rise? What would you say to that?" "1 would say can it be possible?" "You have eyes, ears and brains, and Nature has given you the power to think and analyze, but I have every reason to believe that you cannot tell > me why it does not keep right on raining forever when it once begins?" "Because?because it stops," was the hesitating reply. "Ah?um! Such lamentable ignorance!" sighed the old man as he began to gather up his satchel. "I have got to leave you now, and I am griev ed. You axe groping In darkness and I shudder when I realize that you may live out your allotted time and still be Ignorant of the powers that keep life going. Did it ever occur to you that if your heels were placed in front you would have to progress back wards?" "Neffer In all my life!

They had prevaricated right along to the amusement of the listeners, and each was about to run out of yarns. Each felt that it was time to get in his best yarn. "Why, over in Jersey," said the Harlem man, "I was spending the night with a friend near a big swamp. After I crawled in bed I heard a crashing noise near my head and turned around to find that a mosquito had been perambulating through the hallway, had gotten mad, and had driven his bill through the ceiling into my room. I jumped up, seized a monkey wrench, and bradded the bill on the inside. Then I walked through a side door, seized a shotgun, loaded it with buckshot, fired the whole load into that mosquito and went to bed again. Later on I heard another noise. Goiiig out to investigate, I ascertained that the mosquito had broken his bill off and had gone out of the house minus a part of his probing apparatus. Three days later I saw that same mosquito eating a chicken it had caught." "I believed you are a very strict churchman," said the other man, "and of course, you had to tell the whole wifh aKnnt ofnrv hnf T'll tall vmi what Is a fact. Down In the Florida Everglades there Is a mosquito that beats yours. I was fishing on a creek one day when I heard an awful buzzing noise overhead. Looking up, I saw a mosquito flying along with a half-grown colored child under one wing and a grindstone under the other. Occasionally he would whet his bill on the grindstone and take a bite of the child. To show you that this story is true. I will cross my heart." The third liar had prepared to say something, but he saw the threatening looks on the faces of the crowd and desisted.

The wound was at once dressed, but a few days later blood poison set in and he is now confined to his home. The police force of the city raided the home of Jack Knox Wednesday night and secured ten pints of corn booze that he did not know was there. Some other fellow had slipped into his house all unbeknownst to him and hid nine pints in a hole in the wall, then closed it up, and then hid another pint .in Jack's bed room, and Jack never found it out at all. The police also captured in an outhouse about a wagon load of jugs, demijohns and bottles, which Jack says he had accumulated as a jug and bottle agent.

Instead the people of the neighborhood are arranging for a big educational rally there. The date has not yet been named, but the purpose now is to have it just after the close of the state summer school at Winthrop, or if not then, in August. The former will, it is believed, be selected as a more propitious. time. It is expected that Governor Heyward, Superintendent Martin and other distinguished men in the state will be present to make speeches.

Mr. Williams was born in the Armenia neighborhood, July 30, 1836. Having been given a better educated than was common, he taught for some years, and also read medicine for awhile, which was interrupted by the war. He volunteered at the first call for troops and was a faithful soldier throughout, being a lieutenant of Co. I, 6th regiment. After the war he farmed until 1890 perhaps, and was in charge of one the state farms for two years we believe. He then took up his residence in Chester.

The C. & N.-W. people had been talking for sometime of extending this siding, but the Southern, through Its agent, Mr. Nolen, had served notice on them not to attempt it as the proposed track was on the Southern's right of way. The notice, however, had no terror for them. The necessary rails, crosstles, etc., were concealed near town, pending a good opportunity to be called Into requisition.

A DETECTIVE'S STRATAGEMS. Schemes to Get Runaway Criminals Back to New York. "Back in the '70s and '80s, when the United States had negotiated only a few extradition treaties, it came my way to go after and" endeavor to snag a lot of criminals in various parts of the world," said a veteran detective of the old Byrnes staff, who Is now conducting a private detective agency. "We had to frame up all sorts of strategic schemes to land them on American territory. "One case was that of a young fellow who made the hop from New York to Tegucigalpa, Honduras, in 1886. In the absence in Europe of his employer he had gutted the art store of which he was manager. He was supposed to have cleaned up 540,000 or $50,000 before he bolted. "He was a good looking chap of 30 or so, inclined to society stunts. Within less than a month the American consul at Tegucigalpa sprung him. The old man sent me down after him. " 'This is a fly boy that you're going after,' he said to me when I started, 'and there's no treaty with Honduras, of course, so I guess you'll have to take your time and. sort of oil him along.' "The evening that I got into Tegucigalpa on mule-back, after the rough trip over the mountain country from the coast, I made first for the consulate. " 'He was swinging high,' the consul told me, 'and tonight he'll be attending a swell al fresco fete at the home of one of the ex-ministers of a former cabinet who went out of office with so much loot that he hasn't got through counting it yet. Your bright and attractive boy is brushing up to the exsecretary's only daughter, and he'd have a pretty fair chance to get away with the marriage if it wasn't so badly wanted. Besides that, he's got hold of some rattling good gold mining concessions that he's talking about working.' "I got the consul to send a messenger to the ex-minister of the cabinet for an invitation to the evening's fete for me, and the messenger brought the invitation back all right. I brushed up at the hotel and climbed into my evening rig, and then, about 9 o'clock, the consul and I were driven to the fete in his rickety old caloosh. The consul introduced me to the host and then we slid around to get a peek at the young man I was after. "We found him waltzing with his rich host's daughter, and from the goo goo glances they were bestowing upon each other, It looked like a sureenough case of an early splice'for that pair. The party broke up at 2 o'clock in the morning, and after a lot of languishing good-byes with his host's daughter the young fellow made his way to the open barouche that was waiting for him. I hopped away from the consul's side and got alongside the barouche just as my man was stepping into it. " 'Room for another in there, mate?' I asked him. "He stared at me In the dim light of the road and then he laughed good naturedly. " 'There's always room alongside of me for a man that talks English,' he said. 'Get in. Going to the hotel?' I " 'Yes,' I sold, and I stepped into the barouche and sat down with him. " 'The stars look pretty close to the ground down here, don't they?' said I pointing up, after the carriage had jogged along a bit. 'They seem to be a yrhole lot further away up in the states. By the way,' and I turned and looked straight at him in the light of a street lamp that we happened to be passing, 'how would you like to go back to the United States?' "He was a wise boy and that was enough for him. He shifted around in his seat and stared at me for a long time. " 'Oh, I see,' he said, and then he stared at me some more?we were approaching the better-lighted district of the place. " 'Say,' he said, as we neared the hotel; 'if I go albng with-you you won't peach on me down here?won't say a word ?' " 'What for?' said I. 'What would be the good of that?' " 'Supposing I should buck and refuse to go?' he asked me then. " 'Oh, nothing,' I replied, 'except that I'd make a sort of an inland beachcomber of you here in Tegucigalpa inside of twenty-four hours.' " 'We'll start in the morning,' was his .prompt reply, 'on condition that you give me your word that you won't show me up down here. I've got some things going in this place that I don't want to lose out on. We'll make it that I'm suddenly called back to the states on business, eh?" " 'You're on,' said I, and I went to bed feeling pretty good with myself that night. "My young man spent part of the next forenoon making a round of calls, explaining that he'd been called back to New York for a month or so on urgent business. Then he had an hour's good-bye session with this young woman, and at noon we set out for home just as cute as could be. "That fellow was good. He made quick terms with his employer from whom he had copped the wad by surrendering the bulk of the money he had stolen. The employer then declined to prosecute him and went west to get out of the way for awhile, and the young fellow was turned loose. "He hustled around, as soon as he gained his freedom, and got a lot of moneyed Chicago men interested In the gold mines of Honduras, for which he had the government concessions, and Just two months after I had snagged him from Tegucigalpa he was back there with flying colors, accompanied by an outfit of Chicago capitalists and mining engineers. "The people he knew in Tegucigalpa didn't know Anything about his trouble up In New York, and he married his rich girl within a month after his return. His mines made good and everything was coming his way when he drank himself Into a tropical fever and died seven or eight years ago. "The strongest game I ever had to play In order to hook my man was In the case of a mean dog who, as the cashier of an East Side Savings bank, rifled the outfit to such an extent that the bank went to the wall, carrying along the savings of hundreds of hardworking people. He pulled up In Callao, Peru, with a good part of the bundle that he had lifted from the bank. "I had to work a confidence game on this measly thief, but that didn't bother me any when I remembered the dirt he had done to many poor people. Through the consul I framed up a casual club meeting with him a few days after I got in. I more than laid myself out to make a hit with the man and gain his confidence. "I was meeting him at various places, including his own house, two or three times a day for perhaps a month, trying to rig up some dead-fall for him?but all the time In a pretty hopeless frame of mind over the sltua tion ai tnai, wnen one uay a uuueu States man-o'-war, a small gunboat of the old navy, swung Into the harbor of Callao. Her arrival gave, me a sort of straw to clutch?I didn't have much of an Idea that the straw would bear my weight, but I determined to try it. " 'Let's go out and take a look at that old government scow,' I said to the embezzler in an off-hand sort of a way a few days after the man-o'-war got into the Callao water. " 'Why, yes,' he replied, readily enough, to my surprise. 'I've never been on board a warship?come ahead." "We climbed into a bumboat that was Just about to start for the gunboat and were soon being received by the officer of the deck, who detailed a petty officer to show us about. After we'd sized up the kinks of the ship, some of the watch officers invited us into their mess room for luncheon. "While the luncheon was going on I put up some kind of excuse to break away for a minute, and I went square nirlnrvor a KlllflP iv me vaviu vi IUC oivipHcl " wiuifc naval officer of the old school, who died a rear admiral?and In a few words I told him all about the ornery thief who was feeding In the mess room with his watch officers. I knew the man-o'war had only dropped into Callao to coal on her way to San Francisco. " 'That thief,' I said to the skipper, 'is now on the deck of a United States warship, which is United States territory. Take him up to San Francisco on this ship?it's the only way he'll ever be corralled?and let ine go along so that I can pinch him in San Francisco for fair.' "The commander of the gunboat shook his head some over this proposition, but I could see that he personally felt willing to grab the embezzler, at that. So I pressed my edge and described the suffering and misery and heartaches the thief had caused so many hard-working people. " 'I'd like to take the scoundrel along,' said the skipper, 'but you know the regulations?we're only permitted to give asylum on board a man-o'-war to American citizens in danger or distress in 'orelgn ports'; but he began to scratch his chin over it and I kept at him. " Til communicate by wire with the department,' he finally told me, and he immediately sat down and wrote dispatches, which he sent ashore by his orderly, while I rejoined the watch officers in the mess room. "Luckily, one of those heavy South American coast winds came up while we were still In the mess room, kicking up such a sea that the skipper told us that It would be Impossible for us to go ashore until the blow was over. The embezzler looked nervous over this, but nothing could be done, and the officers bunked us in the ward room that night. "There was still a heavy wind blowing out of clear skies on the following morning; and the only boat that the skipper would permit to be launched was the longboat, in which he sent his mail orderly after the ship's mall and dispatches. The longboat returned with the orderly after a few hours, and the skipper retired to his cabin to read his dispatches. "He emerged presently, said a word or so to the officer of the deck, who looked surprised and then passed the word to the bo'sun's mate. " 'All hands up anchor!', bawled the bo'sun's mate after he had given a long blast oi> his pipe, and the skipper smiled and nodded at me. He had made It stick with the navy department?I never found out Just how. f "The thief tfas the color of a towel and trembling when he heard the bo'sun's mate bawl. " 'What's this?' he inquired hoarsely of me. " 'Oh, about fifteen or twenty years for you,' I told him. "He made a shriek to the skipper, who told him to pipe down if he didn't want to find himself in irons. After we reached San Francisco, I lugged him across the continent to New York and later had the fun of conveying him up to Sing Sing for his tenner. I regret to say that he had a large portion of his loot so planted that he knew where to go after it when he got out, and I heard not long ago that he was living In comfort somewheres in Switzerland. "The easiest man that I ever hobbled I took in a little place in Egypt called Ramleh?I think I've got the name of the place right. He was wanted for a series of bucket shop swindles on a big scale. "We heard that he was in Cairo? there was no treaty with Egypt, either?and I was sent to Cairo to see if there was any kind of bait he was liable to bite on. But he had left Cairo and had gone to housekeeping?it was more of a bungalow than a house? with a couple of native servants in the little Ramleh place. "I walked up the steps of his bungalow; one afternoon, with a story all arranged, with which to stuff him. He was sitting on the little varanda, fajining himself and smoking. " 'Hello,' he knocked the wind out of me by saying, 'you're a New York de tective and you're after me. AH right. I'll go with you. I'm damned tired of all this,' waving his hand about, 'anyhow. Wait'H I get packed up.' "That certainly was easy. We. went to Genoa?he was a corking good traveling companion?and from there took steamer to New York. That fellow had given me so little trouble and was such a companionable sort of duck that I was glad when he only got a two-specker and had the dust to begin over again when he got out. I wouldn't have been rooting for him had he fanned poor people for their rolls, but he had only dented up folks that could afford to lose."?New York Sun. I i- ? The Value of Cheerfulness Some of the sunniest dispositions are those of confirmed invalids, who have the strength of will to ignore their own sufferings in order not to cast a gloom over their family and friends. Sq that it is not so much a condition of bodily health as of moral, and we cannot doubt that the physical condition is largely influenced by the prevailing state of our mind. It is not only that "a merry heart makes a cheerful countenance," but it also helps to make a healthy body; for we are told by the same authority, "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine." The correctness of this latter statement, is seo?n in the fact that it is much easier for a person to recover from an attack of Illness if he is cheerful and hopeful than when he is either indifferent as to his recovery or despairs of it. This is altogether aside from the strength of purpose which often helps one to throw off an illness by sheer force of will. Just as the bodily health Is Improved by cheerfulness so the mental condition is benefitted by it A sour, nervous, melancholy person cannot take a correct view of anything. It affects his judgment in business matters, inclines him always to take a gloomy view of the state of trade and to believe that every transaction in which he engages is sure to prove a failure. Were the business world largely ipade up of such men there would be an end to every enterprise which involved any element of chance; for they would be unwilling to risk money in any venture unless its results were absolutely certain to be a success. Besides this, a morose man never Judges his fellowmen fairly, but he is always on the lookout for flaws in their character, and few persons in business realize how much the value of their services is increased by the cheerfulness with which they are rendered.

She addressed a pathetic appeal to the postmaster general, asking for a personal and private interview, at which she might present her side of the case. "I feel sure," the letter ran, "that if I could get a chance to look you straight in your beautiful brown eyes you would hear my story." Mr. Payne was much impressed. This sort of thing was rather an innovation. Then he solemnly indorsed the letter: "Respectfully referred to the secretary of war for advice."
