Dr. Wilson said, "cheating is bad on material grounds. The cheat is very apt. you know, to be found out. "In Virginia, in my boyhood, there was a case of cheating that had a disastrous ending. An elderly minister appeared before a board to be examined for some post or other. The examination was public and the first branch to be taken up was Latin.

"But the minister continued silent, rolling his eyes, racking his brain. " 'Anser,' whispered the young man in a louder tone. "The minister now turned his head and looked at his prompter oddly. "'Poor old chap! He almost heard. He wants me to try again,' the young man thought, and, louder than ever, he repeated: ' 'Anser.' "At this the minister turned and shook his forefinger at the youth.

Wanted to Find Wat Back.?One of the first cases which the late Gllman Marston of New Hampshire, had after being admitted to the bar was a civil suit Involving a somewhat complicated question of Inheritance, says the Boston Herald. In no way daunted, young Marston tackled it. looked up authorities all the way back to Julius Caesar, and prepared an argument of a few hundred pages which seemed to him more than unanswerable. His only fear was that It might be beyond the comprehension of the court. When the time came the young man rose and plunged in bodily. The Judge seemed interested and Gllman took heart. But at the end of an hour and a half, in the midst of the most Intricate part of his plea, he was pained to see what he thought was a lack of attention on the part of the court. It was Just as he expected: the Judge was unable to appreciate the nice points of his argument. He paused, hesitated, and then said: "Your honor, I beg pardon, but do you follow me?" "I have so far," answered the judge, shifting about in his chair, "but I'll say frankly that If I thought I could find my way back I'd quit right here."

It will be remembered that Mr. McBrayer was recently drowned at Fort Monroe, Baltimore, where his company was stationed. He was the son of the late Dr. John H. McBrayer. and a very fine young man One of the most shocking accidents that have happened in Gaffney in a long time occurred Saturday afternoon about 3 o'clock, just as No 11. the southbound passenger train w as leaving town. A northbound freight train was taking the siding near the power house to let the passenger go by, when little Johnnie Kirk, son of Mr. L. J. Kirk, the watchman at the railroad crossing near the depot, attempted to swing on It for a ride (or was on the train and Jumped off) and lost his footing and fell under the moving cars. His left arm was terribly mashed, and he was otherwise cut and bruised about the head and body. Had it not been for the prompt action of a colored man who saw the accident and pulled the boy from the track he would doubtless have been killed. The unfortunate little fellow was mo ed to a shade near by. where medical aid was at once given him. Dr. Brown was the first to arrive and he injected morphine Into the boy's body to lessen his suffering until better attention could be given him. The boy was perfectly rational when taken from under the train, and asked that no one tell his mother of his condition. She. however, soon learned of the accident and. with Mr. Kirk, hurried to the scene. Johnnie was finally taken to his home, and after a thorough examination it was decided that immediate amputation of the mangled arm was necessary: and It was taken off at the shoulder, the operation being performed by Drs. Brown. Griffith and Jefferies. The other wounds were dressed, and the little fellow made as comfortable as possible. He was resting well yesterday, and is in a fair way to recover. GASTON.

Liqcor Mystbribs.?Some of the secrets of the liquor trade are revealed by the manager of the defunct subway tavern in New York, in explanation of the financial failure of the enterprise. "We never allowed succession of fancy drinks," he says, and therefore "we never got the drinker to the point where he became reckless of his money and where he began 'tapering' his drinks, wherein lies the profit. In other words, Just as the customer was about to become profitable to us we sent him away." And once sent away, a profitable drinker never came back. Another cause of failure was that the tavern sold only pure liquors. "Our profit on actual material sold has been as low as 30 per cent whereas the average saloonkeeper could not exist unless he made from 100 to 200 per cent." Finally. the tavern reformers closed shop on Sunday and obeyed the excise law, which was a heavy handicap on profittaking. Evidence of this sort from a man who has tried to reform liquor selling by selling liquor is to be regarded as a valuable contribution to the literature of the drink problem. The manager of the tavern seems to prove that the New York saloonkeeper's profit Is drawn largely from illegal sales adulterated sales and drinking to excess.?Springfield Republican. OLD RAIN-IN-THE-FACE. Sketch of the Indian Who Is Said to Have Killed General Custer. Rain-In-the-Face, the Sioux chief whom history credits with having: been the man who killed Gen. George A. Custer at the battle of the Little Big Horn, died last Monday on the Standing Rock reservation near Aberdeen S. D. His death was reported through the regular official channels. He was 62 years old. and had outlived the massacre by nearly thirty years. He was a man of great prominence among the Sioux when the war with them was waged in 1875. About 1873 he had killed two prospectors who were traveling through the Sioux country In Dakota. He took great pleasure in describing how he had shot one of them full of arrows and had pounded In the head of the other with a heavy war club. Word of the crime came to Gen. Custer, who was encamped at the post near the present big Sioux reservation. His men captured Raln-ln-the-Face, who at that time was a hig, handsome lithe chap. Brought before Custer, he would say nothing. A council of the tribe was called and an effort to trade two young men for Rain-in-the-face was made. He was a big man. being a brother of Iron Horse. The offer was refused and the guilty Indian was chained up In a small hut used as a Jail. He was rescued after about half year by some hay thieves who came to free his companion. a white man arrested for stealing hay. He swore vengeance against Custer and when he joined Sitting Bull sent a notice to the Indians on the reservation that he would get even In some way. Mrs. Custer's story of her husband's last campaign credits Rain-ln-the-Face with having been the man who cut out Tom Custer's heart and some of the Indians in the massacreing party said the same thing. Whether or not he killed Gen. Custer few ever cared to ask him. Since the subjugation of the Sioux he had been living in retirement on the reservation, he took no active part In the Indian troubles of the early '90s. As to how he got his peculiar name the histories are not clear. It is said by some persons that his face was pitted with powder marks through the explosion of a gun. and that it had the appearance of being covered with little drops. Another story tells of a fight In which he stood erect amonc the fly ing arrows, and minded them, as he said in the high flown language of the Cooper Indian, "no more than the rain In his face." m ? PEOPLE OF THE ISLAND OF GUAM Easygoing and Intensely Religious De> votion to Church and School. A very Interesting visitor Is Charles Darwin Lehmkuhl, executive secretary of the Island of Guam, who is taking his first vacation in the United States after a sojourn of six years In this faraway portion of Uncle Sam's domain. Most Americans cannot stand such a protracted stay In the tropics without Injury to their health, but Mr. Lehmkuhl has kept In fine physical condition and speaks with enthusiasm of the country and its people. "Guam," said he, "is a little bit of earth set down in the Pacific, scarcely occupying more than 200 square miles, and yet is a place of extraordinary and peculiar importance. Its strategic position as a naval station where our warships can stop to coal and make repairs gives it a value that cannot be overestimated. The long journey from San Francisco, via Honolulu to Manila, exhausts the fuel carrying capacity of ocean craft, and they are glad to put in at the harbor of Guam and get a fresh supply. "In addition, it is going to be the hub of many radiating lines of submarine telegraph. At present It has the Commercial Pacific Cable company from San Francisco to the Philippines and the German-Dutch Cable company has completed a line from Menardo, in Celebes, via Yap and the Carolines, which will be extended to Shanghai next March. Then as soon as the Russo-Japanese war is over a cable will be laid from Guam to Yokohama. The harbor is a good one now, but it is capable of great improvement. both as to procuring a greater depth of water and in the matter of fortifications, which at present are non-existent. Its defenseless position at present is of no consequence, but would be a serious matter in case of war. "There are on the island about 11,000 natives, who call themselves Chamorros. They are of yellow complexion, resembling the Filipinos somewhat, but larger in size. These natives from the start have never given our government the least trouble; they are good natured, docile, easily managed. "The people, as I said, are of an easygoing nature, but they are also intensely religious. To them the Catholic church stands for all that makes life worth living. So devoted are they that they will not remain away from the town of Agana. in which is the only house of worship on the island, over night. They will go out on their cocoanut farms, several miles in the country, during the day, but at nightfall will come hurrying back by the hundreds, to be in proximity to their beloved church. It would be an enormous help to their progress if some charitable person would build for these people two or three churches, to be located in the outlying rural districts. This is, indeed, the only way in which Guam will ever be properly settled. A few American priests ought also to come over there, for their influence would be of untold benetit in helping the natives to understand their rightful relations with the United States. I speak not as a Catholic, but as a Protestant who believes in accepting facts and trying to make the best of them. "Schools are also sadly needed, although we are doing a good deal toward teaching the young. The greatest need is for a few more American ladies to take charge of this work, as the people think it wrong to send their daughters to male teachers. For this reason several of the wives of United States officials stationed there are doing splendid work in the schoolrooms. Some of the soldiers are also detailed as instructors, and the common verdict Is that the native children are bright and ambitious to learn, and that they acquire the English tongue with great readiness."?Washington Post. HOW TO HANDLE MONEY. Useful Information to People Without Experience. It is one of the odd characteristics of man that he will listen to any one whose text is how to acquire money, while the instant the topic is changed to the still more pertinent proposition of how to hold on to It he will not only not listen but may become Indignant at the efTrontery of the speaker. At the same time many a man comes into a bunch of money, not knowing even how to take care of the material currency over night. He doesn't know a national bank note from a silver certificate, and the differences between a personal check, a promissory note, and a bank draft are so ill defined and muddled as to leave him guessing all along the line of business. Every day there are hundreds of people who can't understand why it is that a bank other than the one on which a check is drawn will refuse to UttHII lliui t'licun wiicii uic imiuci nan identified himself. They are in the position of the woman in the old story who was told by the paying teller of the bank that her account was overdrawn. "But how can that be?" she asked indignantly. "I've got twenty-four blank checks left!" Widow's $8,860 Might Teach Lesson. The other day In New York a woman. a widow, with the savings of a lifetime distributed among several savings banks at 3 per cent Interest, decided to get the money all together and deposit it In a certain single savings bank which was paying 4 per cent interest. She made the rounds of the banks one afternoon and drew from them a total of $8,850 in cash, placing the money in her bosom In a single roll at the last and starting for home, prepared to justify the count that night and deposit it in the 4 per cent institution the next morning. As a general proposition it was quite foolish enough for her to have fixed upon a bank that was paying one-fourth more interest than the old, conservative institutions were paying, especially In view of the fact that government bonds at 2 per cent are drawing premiums. But she was doubly foolish to have started home with as much money in her possession, and she proved it when, on reaching home, the roll of money was not to be found. But likewise she was doubly fortunate when an honest man and his wife found the money and returned it to her a few days later without accepting a cent of reward. From any one of the savings Institutions in which she had money the woman might have got a cashier's check for the amount of her deposit, and without a cent of cost. In any bank where she might have wanted to deposit this paper it would have been accepted at its face without charge for collection. And in having the paper drawn to her own order, even had it been destroyed, or been lost and got into the hands of a dishonest person, she could not have lost because of it. There are times when a person needs to draw from a bank some large sum in cash. Had It been necessary for a man to draw money as this woman did he would have been wise in asking for money In the largest possible bills. Eight (1,000 bills, one of $500 denomination. three $100 bills, and one of $50 would have made the burden of the roll Immensely less than this woman found It In the packages t"hat were handed out to her. Even a $5,000 bill might have been possible in this sum, making the bulk almost infinitesimal. In drawing such a sum as this, however, the man of the world would not have done so at the end of "the line" outside the regular paying teller's window. Any bank, on request, would have allowed the customer to come In behind the railings to receive such an amount, and would have paid him In any denominations possible. Care Necessary In Drawing Money. Under ordinary conditions in the modern city bank, where a special police officer watches the line at the tellers' windows, the payee of a check or draft has protection while In the institution. The stranger who idles Inside Is called to account at once, yet it Is possible for the pickpocket to see enough to put him on the track of the indiscreet. Once, before the necessity of the police watch had grown imperative. a trick of the crook was to approach the unsuspecting customer, who was verifying the count of money at the window. He would drop a bill of considerable denomination on the floor as he came up and apologizing for the interruption would point the bill to the payee as money that he had dropped. When the unsuspecting customer stooped to pick up the currency, the crook seized the roll from the window and fled. Once In Chicago, years ago, the plan failed to work. A young man messenger from a La Salle street brokerage firm wns conntlne a nackaare of bills at the teller's window when the smooth rogue came up and dropped a $20 bill on the floor. "I beg your pardon, sir." he said, graciously. "you've dropped a bill on the floor." Without a word the messenger glanced down for an instant, put a heavy shoe squarely on the gold certificate, and resumed his counting to the end, using a pair of hands which looked as If they might clinch Into Jim Jeffries knots at the slightest provocation. The package from the teller was even money, but the messenger was $20 ahead. Cashing Checks Is Dangerous. Don't accept a check from anybody whom you don't know as responsible, and unless you are recognized as such don't be surprised or angry If nobody will take It from you other than for collection. A check Is one of the easiest possible semblances of money and the impecunious one drawing it runs no risk as a counterfeiter. Always cash a check or draft as soon as possible after receiving It. Should you not care for the cash and not have a convenient bank account, go to the bank on which the draft or check Is drawn and have the cashier certify It by writing "Accepted" or "Certified" across the back. After this formality the paper Is as good as the money as long as the bank accepting It Is solvent. Not infrequently a check may be drawn in good faith by a good man and yet be withheld so long by the person receiving it that there Is no money to the account when the paper finally Is presented. Sight Draft Often Serious. A sight draft drawn upon you may be a serious thing under certain conditions. If it have attached to it one of your promissory notes, due or overdue. and the Instructions be for the collector to protest the draft if it is not paid on presentation, your reputation and credit are at stake. Your own paper going to protest will wreck your credit with every banking and commercial house within reach of the news of It. Many states no longer allow the three days grace which once were necessities when means of travel and communication were In more elementary stages, and the dating of a note on a certain day means the paying of the note on that day and no other, unless it shall be a legal holiday. Your signature to a negotiable note, promising to pay a certain sum to the bearer, "without defalcation or discount," is quite as serious In this way as any funeral. For the most part the manner In which your signature came to such a note "In the hands of an Innocent purchaser," cuts no figure In court or financial circles. The whole question Is whether the signature Is Ar nnt* If It la a riH If thP ffl.Ce Juu,? ? - -I ?? -- of the note has been secretly "raised," or th? Interest rate doubled, or any little things like that, the poor, Innocent purchaser Is not allowed to suffer because of It: It's your funeral. Because of this Innocence of the purchaser of any note at any sort of discount, It Is a bad thing for you to leave your signature 011 a piece of blank paper with room enough above It for some acquisitive genius to build a negotiable note over It. Adopt a Regular Signature. Speaking of signatures, adopt a signature which Is yours not only In style of penmanship but in partition of your front name. Don't be J. Wordsworth Jones on one occasion, John W. Jones on another, and J. W. Jones at odd moments. The only excuse for variation from one's usual signature is when some one makes commercial paper payable to J. W. Jones when he has adopted J. Wordsworth as the style. But where paper Is made payable to such Initials, it must be Indorsed "J. W." with the "J. Wordsworth" appearing just under it in brackets as the best commercial form. Anywhere in the United States the best form of remittances, perhaps, is a bank draft on New York. The bank drawing the draft for you or the bank on which It Is drawn, may fail before the paper gets around for final redemption. but the world may come to an end also. There is nothing sounder than a United States postoffice money order, but a lot of red tape Is wound around it. and some places where you may wish to send money have no paying offices, it is especially troublesome, as the authorities allow only one Indorsement on the paper. Also, postoffice orders are not as cheap as are most bank drafts on New York, especially above 1100. Indorser May Have to Pay. One thing needs to be borne In mind In the handling of bank paper?the great question asked on all sides is, "How did you get It?" Further. "What sort of a fellow did you get It from?" Is quite as jointed and insistent. Always the owner of redeemable bank paper must consider what will happen If at the last moment the bank upon which the paper is drawn refuses for any reason to pay. If It does so that last holder must go back upon John Smith to make good, and John Smith must have recourse to Wordsworth Jones, and Jones In turn has to chase Indorser Browne to earth. Anywhere along the line that an Indorser throws up his hands and nleads Inability to pay the 'nrirro(?r just below this man's name Is "It." Whether times be flush or tight has a great Influence, upon the treatment of money and Its commercial equivalent The first note of "hard times" will destroy tens of thousands of dollars of paper currency In a breath, and the pinch of the real thing destroys millions In a night. Bank paper loses mightilv as a liquidator of debts, and the gold basis philosophy Is magnified beyond the old philosophy that such a thing as a medal of "final redemption" Is Impossible In fact. As commercial paper Is more closely regarded In hard tim^s. so Is the currency of the country In the hands of the average person. Hard Times Bring Out Savings. The cashier in an Institution which deals with a wide constituency of men and women In all conditions of life says that in the press of hard times at least three-fourths of his women customers eo to their stockings or their bosoms for their money which they are to pay out: at the present time, for instance not one woman In six secretes her money In these ways. In hard times the men dig deeper Into their clothes for the cash also, the principle being that the harder a dollar Is to acquire the more natural It Is for the holder of it to tuck it away where it promises to be safest from loss.?Chicago Tribune.
