Sumotous ^Department. A Slander. At the Newport horse show Alfred Qwynne Vanderbllt declared that a horse's teeth did not make-an Infallible guide to its age, and that they who depended on the teeth alone were apt to fall into grievous error in reckoning the age of horses. "Don't count too much on the teeth," said Mr. Vanderbllt, "or you will go as far wrong as the rich San Franciscan, who decided late In life to set up a racing stable. "Earning his millions he had worked like a slave from early in the morning till late at night, and in all his sixty years he hadn't once had time to study horses, let alone to ride or drive them. "So, before beginning to buy, he thought he would take a little expert advice. He.knew a livery stable keeper, and he went to see the man. " 'Jerome,' he said, 'I am going to buy a stable of horses. Now, when they are trotted out for my Inspection how will I tell how old they are? I don't want to be stuck, you know, with a lot of antiquated nags.' "The liveryman said It was by their ttfeth that horses' ages were told. He intended to go Into the matter a little further, but the millionaire, a hustler, hurried off. "He humed oft, and the next day a fine coach horse was submitted to him by a dealer. * " 'How much do you want for this animal?' he asked. " 'About $1,200,' the dealer answered. "The millionaire opened the horse's mouth and studied its teeth with slow care. Then, wiping his hands, he laughed harshly. _ " 'Take it away,' he said. 'It is thirty-two years old.'" Why He Wore the Ribbon.?Mrs. Robert J. Burdette tells a story about the white ribbon which is the sign of total abstinence, says the New York Tribune. "There are some persons," said Mrs. Burdette, "who don't wear the white ribbon with sincerity. They wear It, perhaps, about as hypocritically as it was worn by an employe of a certain brewer. "This employe, after years of dissipation, appeared one day at the brewery with the white ribbon on his breast. Nothing was said to him, and he wore the ribbon for some months. ^ Then one day the head of the firm, \ happening to notice the man's badge, .. approached him. " 'Why, Frank,' he said, 'it is strange to see you a brewer, wearing the white ribbon.' " 'It does look strange, sir,' the man admitted. " 'Well,' said the brewer, 'why do you do it?" " 'It is like this,' said the workman. 'I wear the ribbon because it makes men like to tempt me; and when I'm tempted I succumb, sir.'" Then It Was Auntie Who Spoke.? An Eighth avenue car was bowling along uptown when a gust of wind unceremoniously lifted a straw hat from the head of one of the male passengers and sent it whirling down a side street, says the New York Press. "Oh, look, auntie," exclaimed a small boy on the seat behind, as he nudged the woman next to him and pointed at the hatless and bald-pated passenger: "That man's lost his hat. Why don't he stop the car and go after It?" "I don't know, dear," replied the woman, "unless It is that the straw hat season Is over, and the gentleman doesn't mind losing It." "Well, auntie, is your hat on good and tight?" "Yes, dear, why do you ask?" " 'Cause if it blowed off it might take your wig along with It, and then you'd look Just like the man wouldn't you?" But at this point the little boy's auntie whispered something In his ear that made him stop suddenly, sit up straight and stop talking. A Comment.?"During a southern tour," said John D. Rockefeller, Jr., "I attended church one Sunday morning In a quaint little wooden meeting house where the pews were of unpainted pine boards. "The minister was a good man, a sincere man, a really eloquent man, but he had contracted somewhere an unfortunate habit of bellowing. He bellowed like a bull. His voice shook the rafters. The sound overwhelmed the sense and it was often impossible for very noise, to get at the man's meanine. "He was especially loud during' the prayer. I never heard such an uproar as filled the little building while this southern minister prayed. After he was through, a little girl on my left gave a sigh of relief and I heard her whisper to her father: " 'Father, don't you think that If he lived nearer to God he wouldn't have to talk so loud?" " "When I was a student at the University of Virginia," said Surgeon General Rixey, of the navy, "there used to be an old man named Tom Crabbe who cleaned my boots and ran my errands. "Tom one morning came into my room in an excited and gay mood. " 'Mv daughter, sir,' he said, 'has a little baby. A fine child. Twelve nrmnriQ In wplcht '.'"When was it born?' said I. " 'This morning,' answered Tom. " 'Is it a boy or girl?' " 'Do you know, sir.' he said, 'I forgot in the excitement to find out whether I was a grandfather or grandmother.' " The Way It Gofs.?Rev. Edward Hale, who is equally noted in letters and in the church, officiated recently at a marriage in Boston. After the ceremony the aged clergyman gave to the young husband a piece of odd and pertinent advice. "I am sure," he said, "that your marriage is destined to be a happy one. But, happy, or unhappy, I urge you never to discuss your wife in company; for, If you speak well of her you won't be believed, and if you speak ill you will."?Exchange. itUsrrllaneous grading.

Lantern, Oct. 11: The state convention of Baptists in South Carolina will meet in the church building of the Chester Baptist church on Tuesday, November 29th, 1904, at 8 p. m. The convention ?ermon will be preached by L. M. Roper or C. E. Burts. The messengers and visitors usually number from two^ hundred and fifty to three hundred. This is the largest missionary body that meets in South Carolina whose constituency is inside our state lines. It represents 931 Baptist churches. These churches are organized into thirty-six associations At the meeting of the commissioners Monday, Oct. 3rd., they transacted business as follows: The supervisor was authorized to build a low-water bridge at Marion's ford on Richburg road. Petition for a bridge over John's creek was granted, and Mr. Shannon was directed to look after right of way. This Is in the southwestern part of the county. Action on petition for bridge at Wylle's ford, near Mrs. M. J. Wylle's was deferred. The board recommended the opening of a public road from Robt. McConnell's, near Lowryville, by Mr. R. S. Hope's place to the bridge near Jno. O. Darby's Mr. and Mrs. Geo. L.

HORSESHOE SUPERSTITIONS. Crescents of Iron Have Always Been Accounted Lucky. The origin of belief in "horseshoe I""!'" >a on onnlont that it nPVPr hfl.fi 1UVIY 10 OV MilVIVIlV V*?M? ? been determined with certainty and no supersltlon Is more universal. Ever since horses began to wear shoes those crescents of Iron have been accounted lucky emblems of all peoples, races and nations that have been acquainted with their use. The Chinese, for instance, say they nail them up over their doors as a charm against evil spirits because of the close resemblance in shape between them and the arched body of the sacred snake, Nagandra, one of their principal deities. Ask a Turkish Mohammedan for information on the subject and he will tell you that It Is because they are In form like a crescent, the sacred emblem of Islam. A Polish Jew will explain that at the passover the blood sprinkled upon the lintel and doorposts, in the manner directed by their ritual, forms the chief points of an arch; hence obviously, the value of arch-shaped talismans such as horseshoes are. The solid and unimaginative Russian peasant, on the other hand, maintains that the luck associated with the norsesnoe is due cnieny to me meiai, irrespective of its shape, iron being traditionally a charm wherewith to nullify the malevolent designs of evil spirits and goblins. Very different is the story by which the Irishman seeks to account for his liking for the same tallsmanlc symbol. The name "Ironclad" or "Ireland," he will tell you originated as follows: The whole island was once submerged in the sea, out of which it only rose once In seven years, and then only for a short time. Many attempts had been made to break the spell and induce the country to remain permanently above the water, but all were vain until one day a daring adventurer threw a horsehoe from a boat on the topmost peak of Wicklow Mountains just as they were disappearing beneath the waves. Then, at last, was the ban removed. The emerald Isle began forthwith to rise again from the ocean depths into which it had sunk. And it has been dry land?more or less ?ever since. In England, up to comparatively recent times, horseshoes were extensively used almost everywhere as antiwitch charms and the custom is not even yet an extinct one. No witch, it used to be said, could enter a building over the door of which a horseshoe? or, better still, three horseshoes?had been affixed, prongs downward. The origin of this particular belief Is referable to the old legend of St. Dunstan. This versatile English ecclesiastic was a skilled farrier and one day o u-Arlr 1 n KIq fnrtra tho ovll nno entered In disguise and requested Dunstan to shoe his "single hoof." The saint, although he at once recognized his malign customer, acceded, but caused him so much pain during the operation that Satan begged him to desist. This Dunstan did, but only after he had made the evil one promise that neither he nor any of the lesser spirits, his servants, would ever molest the inmates of a house where a horseshoe was displayed.?Chicago Chronicle. Races and Odoiis.?Abbe Hue tells in his account of his travels in China that when he had so completely mastered the Chinese language and so transformed his personal appearance that he passed for a native of the country he could not deceive the dogs, which detected him by their sense of smell and invariably barked at him as he passed by. He further states that the musky odor which may be observed in articles imported from China pervades the whole country and is one of the distinctive marks of the Chinese race. A Japanese doctor of medicine returns the compliment on the behalf of the oriental by declaring that the occidental races have an odor that is not agreeable to the Asiatics, though in process of time they get so accustomed to it that they do not notice it. A RACE FOR LIFE. How a Crow Brave Left Hie Blackfeet Pursuers. There were three of us sitting around the store at the way station on the Colorado Central, waiting for the mall. "Ah, it all happened 'way back," said the old trader. "Wish I was as young and limber now as I was then. And I wish a good squaw was as easy to get. The one I had was a Crow; I gave six slapping fine ponies for her; it was when I was trader for the Fur Company at Ft. Devine in the Blackfoot country. The Crows didn't care to put their noses inside Blackfoot country very often, consequently Miss Pine Leaf and I set up housekeeping 4 Ln(no> AVOPflin with lUgeiiici naiivui uciiis ...... callers." The old trader stopped to light his pipe and then told how Black Panther, a young Crow brave, came afoot early one morning, ostensibly to buy powder, but really to offer 12 ponies, In the Crow camp, for Pine Leaf, whom he had once before tried to win. The Indian girl was loyal to the white man and Black Panther was about to depart when there came terrific yells from outside the palisade of the fort. "I Jumped to the ladder and ran up on the roof, which was fortified, and looked over. There was a band of Blackfeet outside yelling like fury. They had spotted the Crow's trail and tracked him to the fort. Then they caught sight of me up In the roof and yelled to me to come down and open the gate and let them have him quick. " 'Pine Leaf,' says I, 'the Blackfeet are howling for Blac^ Panther. What am I going to do about It?' " Give him to the Blackfeet,' says she, as cool as you please. "'What?' says I, 'you'd hand over your Crow brother to them?' " 'My heart is not Absaroka any more,* says she?Absaroka Is what the Crows call themselves among themselves?'My heart Is white now.' I saw she meant It, too. " 'Well, then, I shan't,' says I. 'At least not before I can help it.' "And the end of It was that I fixed up a sort of a bargain with them. They were to wait till Tom and Jonas noma hn/>k in r week or so. and then there was to be a race. Black Panther was to be turned loose, naked, with nothing- but a knife and he was to have 300 yards start. And all the young Blackfoot braves with their knives were to chase him and carve him as they liked when they caught him. But there were to be no guns used and no horses taken to run him down. " 'It's a pretty tough lookout for you, Black Panther,' says I to him when we'd fixed things up, 'but I guess you'd rather have It that way than be pegged out on the prairie over a fire of chips.' "I had a quarter of a fat buffalo cow still hanging in the cellar, and I just gave him all the buffalo meat he could eat three times a day. " 'But,' says I to him, 'you'll get fat and loggy if you take no exercise. Now you get up and run for an hour every morning round and rtund the fort Inside the palisade.' " 'Not the custom of my people to run like that,' he says. 'Our custom Is to 'dance. That make good medicine, make the spirits friendly.' "So Black Panther danced every day to please the spirits, and wolfed down pounds of fat buffalo meat to please himself, and the effect was that he shone like a racehorse. "Well, the Blackfoot camp arrived, and Jonas and Tom came in with more meat. Jonas and Tom were to hold the fort, and had one of the Blackfoot chiefs inside as a hostage. I went out on my horse and led Black Panther through the screeching mob of his enemies. Great Scott! but they said some bad things to scare him, but he never batted an eye. And Pine Leaf was watching us from the top of the fort alongside of Jonas and Tom. "All the young Blackfoot braves were ranged up in line, wearing nothing but a 'G' string and a knife, same as Black Panther. When I got about 300 yards in front of them I turned him loose and waved my gun, and with a mighty screech here they came. "I tell you that was an exciting hunt; I loped along, keeping off a bit to one side, so as not to seem to interfere, but so I could see good. Black Panther never looked back after that start, but struck a steady gait, heading for the Big Grape Creek, 20 miles away. "The Blackfeet tried the same trick on him that wolves will do on a deer. Three of the fastest runners Just started for all they were worth and closed up that 300 yards mighty fast. In half a mile, I guess, they were only 50 yards behind him. But he didn't get rattled worth a cent, Just kept on with his long, easy stride. They spurted desperately and got up to 20 yards and then Black Panther looked once more over his shoulder and quickened Just a mite for the next hundred. "But the three Blackfeet were done; their bolt was shot, and they had to slow down to a crawl, while the rest of the pack, now a quarter of a mile to the rear, came up and passed them. It was a waiting race now, and I kept my horse in a steady lope to see the finish. Vviirfoln moat T hnri fed the Crow and his dancing gave him a fine wind. At 10 miles he was a mile ahead of them, all but one. There was one Blackfoot, a born runner, that had actually gained on him. "On we went, the Blackfoot mile after mile getting closer to him. You could hear their strong panting regular as the strokes of a pump. At last the Blackfoot pulled his knife; he was within three yards now. Down dropped the Crow as if shot, bo quick that the Blackfoot tripped on his body and fell. That was the Crow's game and he up and pinned his enemy before he was able to recover. "The next moment the Crow stood up shaking a bloody knife defiantly in the direction of the rest of the pack. Quick, you fool,' cried I to him, 'get on to the brush or they'll have your hair yet:' And he heard me, and turned again and lit out. That was the last I saw of Black Panther. "The pack arrived in about 10 mln- | utes, and then such a hullabaloo over the dead Blackfoot! I told theifi how It happened and Anally a score of the boldest started on again after Black. Panther, but he was safe In the brush, and they came back to camp that night very sick and without his scalp. "Pine Leaf? Oh, she was a good squaw to me for years." FENCE POSTS BECAME TREES. Domestic Plants as Wonderful in Growth as Those of the Tropics. "People talk of the wonderful growth of the tropical Jungle," said a traveler last week, "but they rarely think of the wonderful vitality and swift growth of our domestic trees in this country. "There Is the poplar, for Instance. Rip branches from a tree, thrust them into the ground without any care whatever, and Inside of three months every one of those branches will have sent out a mass of roots and be developing Into a tree. "I have just passed through a thicket of poplars In New York State where trees of about fifteen feet In height stood so close together that a man could barely push his way between them. They were all flourishing, healthy young trees with thick trunks. "To my surprise, I learned from my guide that this whole little grove had sprung up from branches stuck into the ground after a windstorm had torn them from other trees along the road. "A still more wonderful tree is the catalpa, known to most boys on account of Its long bean, which some of them use for smoking after it is dry. The catalpa has such a remarkable vitality that even a tree which has been cut down and sawed into lengths again and again, has been known to strike root and sprout, and finally grow up into good trees. "I saw a fence in the Middle West that consisted of a straight row of beautiful catalpas, each of them nearly twenty feet high. The row was so mathematically straight that I wondered how the trees had grown so, especially as the row was nearly half a mile long. So I rode over to them and discovered that barb wire was stretched from tree to tree, evidently as a division fence. Later I met the owner of the land, and he explained to me how the trees had come to grow in so perfect a line. " 'About ten years ago,' he said, 'I wanted to raise a barb wire fence along the line of my property, to prevent my cattle from straying. I went Into the woods, and we chopped down a lot of small catalpas, about sapling size. We chopped the roots off, leaving a pointed end at the base, and sawed the crowns off clean, thus making stakes about eight feet long. These we drove Into the ground in the row that you saw, and attached our barb wire to them. Inside of six months every stake had begun to sprout, and since then the fence stakes have grown into trees.?Washington Post. TAX COLLECTIONS?1904. . Yckrkville, S. C., Sept. 15, 1904.
