^tumorous department. Been Taking Turns. Mrs. Rogers had the barrel of russet apples placed In the attic because they were not quite ripe enough to eat, and she warned her three boys, whose ages range from 5 to 11 years, not to touch them. Then, one rainy day, when she sought the attic to get something from a trunk, she came full upon her sons, surrounded by apple cores. At her approach two of the boys drew closer together; but the third, a little distance off, who lay on his stomach, con' ' - ....4 tenteaiy muncnmg an appie, apparcuily paid no attention to his mother's entrance. "Jack! Henry! Willie!" she exclaimed reproachfully. "Whatever are you doing? And those apples! Didn't I tell you not to touch them?" "Yes, mamma," replied Jack, the eldest, "but we're not really eating them; we're acting the Garden of Eden. Willie and I are Adam and Eve. Henry, over there, Is the serpent, trying to lead us to our downfall by showing us how good the apples are." "But," began the mother, as sternly as she was able, "you two must have been eating apples; Henry hasn't done it all. I see as many as ten cores around you." "Oh, yes," returned Willie, the younger; "we've all been taking turns being the serpent.?Fruit Grower. An Incomplete Landscape. Mr. Kreezus, the multimillionaire, was entertaining a friend at his elegant country home. "I was born and brought up in this neighborhood," he said, "and when I was a boy I used to think what a fine thing It would be to have a house on this hill. It's the highest point of ground, you will notice, within a circuit of several miles, and the view from here Is extensive." "It Is magnificent!" exclaimed the visitor. "Yes, and wheal the time came that I could afford it I gratified my boyish ambition by buying the land round here and putting up this house." "I have been in a great many places, and I have never seen a finer landscape than this." mat 9 wnai 1 UJJCU iu uuun, vu? I don't like it now as Well as I did when I was a boy." "What makes the difference?" "It isn't complete." "Not complete? Why you own the landscape, don't you?" "That's the trouble. I own all of it but that 80-acre patch over there beyond the creek, about six miles away. The old curmudgeon that owns it won't sell it to me at any figure." And Mr. Kreezus sighed dismally. How the German Blinded Him.?J Campbell White, secretary of the laymen's mission movement, during h's work for missions has had some queer experiences, but one he had in a mining camp in Montana some yoa"s ago gives him much amusement when he reverts to the story. There was a German immigrant in th? camp who had received a letter from home. He was illiterate and no one in the camp understood enough German to read the letter to him. He was, of course, overjoyed to learn that Mr. White could read German. As the missionary began the man from the banks of the Rhine clapped VI*a Atrnr Mr Pfl fQ "What are you trying to do?" exclaimed Mr. White, after he had been able to free his ears from the fellow's < palms. | "Dot letter vas from mine girl.

' At the death of the Duke of Wellington , the whole diplomatic corps was invited 1 to the funeral at St. Paul's. The French 1 ambassador, on receiving his invitation, was very much upset.

Wonderful Results of His Trip Into Africa. , If you will open your Elbie and turn to the tenth chapter of the Book of Genesis, which gives a list of the descendants of Xoah. you will find the name of Xlmrod, who. It Is said, "began to be a mighty one In the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord. Wherefore, It Is said, even as Xlmrod, the , - - - ? T I mlRTlty nunier Deiure mr uviu. Unfortunately, we have no rata- . logue of Ximrod's trophies. There was no national museum In the neighborhood of Mount Ararat. The Smithsonian Institution did not exist In those days. Mesopotamia was entirely without magazines and newspapers. Therefore, we have no means of comparison, but It Is per- , fectly safe to assert that, even If Xlmrod was a mighty hunter before , the Lord, there are others. Mr. Theodore Roosevelt, like Xlmrod, the son of Cush. "began to be a mighty one In the earth" long before he went to Africa, and since he started in pursuit of lions, hippopotami, giraffes and other beasts of the field and the Jungle, he has shown himself to be a mighty hunter before the Lord, and has sent home more than 300 casks and bales of trophies and a menagerie of living , things to prove It. Preparation For the Exhibit. The serious work of preparing the Roosevelt trophies for exhibition will begin next week. Scientific tanners of great skill and long experience i are on their way to Washington, and i the atmosphere around the basement < of the Smithsonian Institution will soon be redolent of pungent odors. 1 such as arise from the contact of 1 aelds and other chemical agencies that are employed to arrest the forces of nature. It will be more than a year < before anything will be ready for exhibition. The Roosevelt trophies will be set i un in the new museum building, which is nearly completed, and will ? doubtless be open to the public next i fall. Some of the laboratories are i already occupied, and portions of the i exhibition hall may be open In the 1 spring. But it will take at least a year to tan and stuff the hides and I mount and install the other trophies 1 which have been received from Afrl ca. And it will be several years be>- i fore the work Is entirely completed, i because of the enormous number and i extraordinary value of the collection, i Mr. Roosevelt has already sent to i the Smithsonian more than s'x thous- j and objects of Interest. Including the < skins and hides of the animals he has b-nio/i Vmnrirods of rare birds, rep tiles, fishes, botanical specimens, native Implements, utensils, and other ethnological material of great scientific value and Intense human Interest. No expedition, either private or nubile, that was ever sent out for exploration. ever produced such results. No expedition of the kind was ever conducted on such a large scale, or "cloyed the extraordinary advantages J which Col. Roosevelt has commanded. J All Gave Assistance. The officials of the British. Dutch and Portuguese governments; the lo- i eal authorities and foreign popula- ; tlon of Central Africa: the native I "hlefs and tribesmen; the missionaries. and everybody who has been j "suable of rendering any service to ; the modern Nlmrod, have done their ] best to contribute to Its success, and never before have the jungles and i wildernesses of Africa been beaten i so thoroughly for game, or searched for all .forms of animate and inanl- 1 mate objects of interest. The expe- i dltlon is about half over, and the ! ronhles that have been received thus j far Include whatever was collected ! un to the 1st of October. Since that 1 day the party has been busily en- ' easred adding to the number, and un- t douhtedly the shipments that are al- | ready on the way. and those which j may be expected in the future, will j he more than double In number and < In value those which have already been received. The skins and hides were packed and shipped in casks of brine, which ' have not yet been opened, but will be < turned over to the tanners next week. The skeleton of every beast has been sent along In another package, and already a carload of bones have been ' boiled and scraped and put in or- j der for articulation by the taxider- ] mists. They will be exhibited sep arateiy. 'ine skiiis ami mues win mstuffed and mounted on manikins, in lifelike attitudes. The invoices already received include thirteen lions and lionesses, shot by the ex-president himself; four iHrnffeR of different species; two Mack rhinoceri, which are very rare, and a dozen others of more common varieties; several hippopotami and elephants; seven zebras and hvenas. 'conards. cheetahs, hartebeests, waterMicks, gazelles, impallas. wart hogs, ' *'k-diks and other wild beasts galore*, some of which were never before Kroueht into this country. And all hese are to he mounted for perma- J iont exhibition in the new museum ' Tiere are also numerous cases of 1 h'rds, including several varieties hit*1- 1 ?rto unknown and several hundred 1 small mammals, such as rats, rab- ( hits, moles, mice, numerous snakes. i 'izards and other examples of crawl- f Me and creeping things which are ( not attractive to look at. but have 1 Treat scientific value. 1 Of Interest to Tourist. It is interesting to conjecture how r rhese examples of the animal king- j rlom. which are being rapidly e^ter- i minated. will look to future genera- c (ions who will visit the National Mu- \ seum that is now approaching com- g pletion. Hundreds of thousands of r people go to see the walking stick, the s account books and the shoe buckles af George Washington. The field s glasses and the swords of Gen. Grant r are of intense interest to everybody, f while a rail that was split by Abraham i Uncoln will attract as much atten- j tlon as the capitoi or the united States. Then what will future genprations say when they stand in the presence of the hippopotami, the elephants, the thirteen lions and the ither wild beasts that were shot and sent home as trophies by another expresident, Theodorus Africanus, the terror of all living things in the uncivilized world. There is a subject for speculation with unlimited possibilites. It is not the intention of the Smithsonian Institution to selfishly retain til the trophies of the Roosevelt expedition. Dr. YValcott. the secretary says that the duplicates will be used according to the custom of the instiution, for exchanges with other museums and for presentation to uni u rsine;-', colleges unu museums m g latural history throughout the eoun- t iry. Hence it is probable that every \ museum of importance may have one f >r more zoological specimens from tho j "bag" of our modern Ximrod. If \ there Is any doubt on this question i t might be advisable to ask him to j keep on shooting until he gets c nough to go around. E Others Share the Honors. Of course, he did not personally * shoot or capture every one of the ' >.000 articles that have been thus far [ ?ece4ved. His son, Kermit, shot many ; >f them and has shown himself to 1 ae quite as accurate and nervy a sportsman as the ex-president. Kermit has had several close encounters t vith animals that are in the habit of loing damage when they meet with apposition. The expedition consists b >f six principals, besides several hundred assistant hunter beaters-in, t ield taxidermists and porters and oth>r servants and camp followers of va- J "ious sorts. The chief men are Theo- 1; lore Itoosevelt, Kermit Roosevelt. n Lieut. Col. Edgar R. Mearns of the nedical corps of the United States \rmy. Edmund Heller, naturalist; J. Loring Alden, naturalist, and R. J. s 'unningham. professional hunter and f 'xplorer, who is the executive officer ind general manager. He had charge ' >f the organization of the expedition s >nd the purchase of the equipment ind supplies, and is the business man , >f the outfit. Mr. Cunningham is an Englishman. 11 i famous rifle shot, and has probably ; nore. trophies to his credit than any ? >ther big game hunter in the world. 3e has spent almost his entire time in Africa for twenty years or more. He has made It his business to furnish outfits and guides for the nobility and millionaires of England, France, Germany and other countries who have gone out there to hunt big game. He has organized and conducted several expeditions for the British Museum, and has had a larger experience in the mountains and jungles of Africa than any other man. Selected the Outfit. Mr. Cunningham was engaged for several months selecting and shipping from London the outfit for the Roosevelt expedition. He went on In advance to collect native porters and pack bearers, and has had charge of all the details, to the thorough satisfaction of the ex-president nnd the other members of the party. Mr. Cunningham has superintended the shipment of the trophies, and the fact that everything has arrived in trnnd order, is testimony to his effl ciency. Lieut. Col. Mearns, who Is on the retired list of the army, has been an agent of the Smithsonian Institution for many years in making collections of natural history In different parts of the world, but this Is his first appearance In Africa. He has also done a good deal of work for the Museum of Natural History in New York, and Is generally recognized as one of the most successful and competent collectors In the country. His specialty Is birds; he Is also a botanist of note, and a member of all the great scientific societies In this and other countries. On this expedition he is the disbursing officer, the medical authority and the business representative of the Smithsonian Institution. - Heller a Californian. Edmund Heller Is a young Californian, a graduate of Sanford University. and thirty-six years old. At the time of his appointment he was assistant curator of zoology In the University of California. He was a member of the expedition sent to Africa by the Field Musetam of Chicago, In 1900, under Prof. Carl E. Akeley, and traversed a large part of the same section through which the Roosevelt narty has been working. Mr. Heller, like Mr. Cunningham, Is, therefore, familiar with the topography as well as the work. He has also had considerable experience as a collector of mammals, birds, fishes and other objects of natural history In British Columbia, Mexico, Alaska and Central America. J. Loring Alden of Oswego, N. Y., Is-thirty-eight years old, and has participated in several explorations in various parts of America as a collector and naturalist. He has a great reputation as a field naturalist, and for his ?enius In catching animals and birds alive. This is his special work in connection with the Roosevelt expedition, and he has already demonstrated the wsdom of his choice. Contributions to National Zoo. In addition to the 6,000 inanimate objects that have been sent home, a collection of fourteen wild beasts has arrived safely at the zoological park in Wttsmiisiuil, wucre mry SI c nun happy and contented. These include a male and ferpale lion, each about two years old; a male and two female lions, each about eighteen months old, which Dr. Eaker says are as fine specimens of the king of beasts as were ever brought to this country, rhere are also leopards, cheetahs, wart-hogs, gazelles, a large eagle of unusual species, a small vulture and a huge bueo, all of which, except the lion and leopards, are strangers to the people of Washington. Nearly all of these are presented by W. W. McMillan, formerly of St. Louis, who lives in Juja farm, near Nairobi, RflHcV* TT?ocf Afrlon nnrl nrtprl as hnsf Tor the ex-president during his stay In that vicinity. In the summer of 1908 Col. Roosevelt. still president, laid his plans for a year's hunt in Africa, before the secretary of Smithsonian Institution, and offered to give the National Museum all of the trophies of his rifle "save a few of little scientific value, svhich, for some reason, I might like to keep." provided "one or two professional field taxidermists, field naturalists, go with me who should prepare and send back the specimens we collect." Action of Regents Favorable. At the next meeting of the board af regents the proposition was accepted, and arrangements were finally perfected under which the official title of the party is "The Smlthsonan African Expedition," and a divison of expenses was made so that the *x-president contributes two-fifths and he remaining three-fifths are paid 'rom a special fund contributed by 'riends of the institution. No part of he money expended for the outfit or 'or any purpose thus far was de ived from the government appropria:ions or from the regular income of he institution, although it will delve the entire benefit.?Wm. E. Curis, in Chicago Record-Herald. WAKED THE CONGREGATION. 3arson Adams' Methods Were Vigorous and Productive. Many stories aro told of the way n which a certain Parson Adams of Lunenburg, well known in the first lalf of the last century, attended to natters which he decided were in leed of summary treatment. On one >r two occasions at least his action was lot limited to his own parish. One imusing instance of this sort occurred >ne Sunday when he exchanged pullits with a friend who presided over i well to do but somewhat careless congregation in a neighboring town. This friend, who was one of the neekest and most long suffering men maginable, told Parson Adams with nuch mortification that there were >ne or two things about the church vhich sadly needed attention, but that, ilthough he knew his parishioners neant well, these matters seemed to .lip their minds from week to week. "The window behind the pulpit is ;adly in want of repair," the gentle ninister explained, "and so is the pul >it cushion, in which there is a large lole. I mention these matters so that 'ou may be saved annoyance. I have earned to stand at one side to avoid he draft from the broken window, and refrain from bringing any force to icar upon the pulpit cushion." Parson Adams looked at his friend ndulgently, but made no rash promses, simply saying that he had no ioubt he should get along all right. On mounting to the pulpit in his riend's church the next day, howeveu-, >e proceeded to electrify the congreration by taking several handfuls of ags out of a piece bag which he car led with him and deliberately stuffng them into the broken panes of the insightly window. Then he proceeded calmly with the ervice, but when he began his sermon t soon became evident that the pulpit ushion was by no means to be spared it his hands. In some way or other he largest hole in the cushion was vorked round until it was well to the ront, and after that each of three em)hatic thumps from Parson Adam's igorous hands as he expounded his deas sent a shower of feathers floatng down over the heads of the dea aiig nnrl thnir f'imilioc \n tho frnnt tews. The next Sunday when the gentle arson resumed his charge there were 10 broken panes in the window behind dm and the pulpit cushion had a rave new cover.?Youth's Companon. Some Other Bulls.?"T. P.

FAMOUS OLD ROADS. Trails and Pikes That Have Helped to Make History. Of the famous old pathways which have played a part In the history of this country none Is more Interesting than the Santa Fe trail. Its story, so far as the white race is concerned, goes back to 1540, when Francisca Vasquez de Coronado led an expedition from Mftxlro un to what In now Kansas. About fifty years later the city of Santa Fe was founded. Early In the nineteenth century American traders began finding their way to Santa Fe. and by 1824 the first wagon trains had left Independence, Mo. After that business along the trail was rushing. In 1825 It was made an authorized road by congress. It began at Westport, now Kansas City. Fort Leavenworth was established to protect trade along this highway. In 1907 each school child in the Sunflower state was asked to contribute a cent to a fund to buy markers for the famous old trail, and 369,166 responded. Parallel with the Albany post road, but keeping from two to six miles east of the Hudson, Is another famous old trail. It was an Indian route but was utilized by Lord London, in command of the British forces. The Nollchucky trace?in the south trace rather than trail Is the designation of these old pathways?led through the Waxhaw settlement on the Catawba river, the birthplace of Andrew Jackson and James K. Polk, on "across the Blue Wall." Through Cumberland Gap the road Is caled the Harrowgate road. It leads on to Harrodstow'n, in Kentucky. Boone went through this gap in 1769. Kentucky was peopled through the Wilderness road that went over Cumberland Gap by followers of Boone, and as you ride along that road today you can see how the teams of successive immigrants have worn down the old road several feet below its original level. But this Immigration passed over the gap, leaving it as lonely as any other mountain pass. No less famous is the Natchez trace, called by the backswoodsmen "Old Natchez trace." or the Jackson military road. When the war broke out with England in 1812 Jackson was general of the militia in Tennessee. When troops were ordered to New Orleans the infantry embarked in boats at Natchez, but Jackson took the cavalry across country. In the spring they returned to Natchez. This old military road that he and his soldiers cut through the virgin wilderness is a monument to his courage and tenacity of purpose. In Tennessee,' Kentucky and Virginia the turnpikes are famous in history and story. The Nashville pike from Columbia, Tenn., to Nashville was "a pike of battle." There is death in every mile of this pike. It was a battleground of the Confeder acy, a turning point In Its history. It was on this pike and the Mount Pleasant pike, that runs out also from Columbia, that Buell made up the hours that saved Grant's army at Pittsburg Landing that Sunday night on April 6, 1862. A picturesque, as well as most historic pike in Kentucky runs from Bardstown, following the old "Wilderness trail" to Springfield and on to Cumberland Gap. It is one of the first turnpikes built in Kentucky and has been in operation nearly sixty years. Along this pike, too, Quantrell and his famous band of guerrilas galloped one winter's day In 1863 to the Griggsby homestead and mercilessly slew three Federal officers who were being entertained there. It was on this pike that John Uri Lloyd laid the scene of his plot, "Stringtown on the Pike," and James Lane Allen has added to its fame by his pen.?TaylorTrotwood Magazine. THE BOMB AGE. A Disease That Is a Reproach to Our Boasted Civilization. In earlier times, before science had been called in to apply the occult powers of nature to the destruction r\t tKn linJfnrm mothnH f\f WrPfllr Ing private vengeance or compassing political assaslnation was by the dagger. That extraordinary genius and picturesque villain, Benvenuto Cellini, who was one of the most renowned artists of the Renaissance, in his unique autobiography, recounts with the utmost sang-froid and particularity, his success in making away with his rivals and enemies, and two successive kings of France at or about the same period met death by the dagger. It was a period which we are accustomed to look upon as far below ours in civilization; in fact, as semi-barbarous, despite its high attainment in literature and art; nevertheless?and there can be no fairer test applied? murders were not relatively as numerous as they are among us, and assassinations of both a private and a political character were accomplished in much more merciful fashion than now. The individual only whose life was sought was endangered or killed. The slaver was content with that. In our days the slayers have grown much more reckless, cruel and wicked. A bomb thrower, to compass his object, not infrequently slaughters and maims several persons, to say nothing of destroying property, and murders by bombs have become every-day occurrences. Bombs were in constant use during the late troubles in Barcelona, and recently on the same day by means of them the chief of police of Buenos Ayres was killed or?/l tho norcnn r?f tho vipprnv rtf In dla assailed. This Is a new form of disease In the body politic, and one for which no adequate treatment either preventive or punitive, has been devisd. It looks almost as though organized society was paralyzed in attempting to deal with a malady so hostile to Its existence and so deadly in its results. These men take no account of their own lives. They usualy make no attempt to avoid arrest, and as soon as one is put out of the way there are ten to take his place. Surely anything that would stamp out bomb throwing would seem to be justified. It would be better that a few individuals caught red-handed should suffer to the limit rather than that society should be continually terrorized and wholesale murder be permitted to continue. Every one but few anarchists regards bomb throwing with unspeakable horror and aversion. No cause can justify or palliate it, and if by new and stringent legislation, supplemented by international agreements, anything can be done to check it, It will make the world a better and more comfortable place to live In and remove a reproach to our boasted civilization.?

I ^ i IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS Don't Mistake the Cause of Your Troubles. Many people never suspect their kidneys. If suffering from a lame, weak or aching back they think that it is only a muscular weakness; when urinary trouble sets In they think it will soon correct Itself. And so it is with all the other symptoms of kidney disorders. That is Just where the danger lies. You must cure these troubles or they may lead to diabetes or Bright'' disease. The best remedy to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. It cures all Ills which are caused by weak or diseased kidneys. Residents of this vicinity are constantly testifying to permanent cures. Mrs. S. Q. Moorehead, 102 Main St., Gaffney, S. C., says: "When I say that Doan's Kidney Pills are a reliable remedy for a lame back or any other trouble arising from Inactive kidneys, I know whereof I speak. I was made quite miserable for a long time by a dull ache In the small of my back. The kidney secretions were pIso unnatural and plainly showed that my kidneys were in need of attention. Hearing Doan's Kidney Pills so highly recommended, I obtained a box and used them In accordance with directions. They made a great improvement and benefited me In every way." For sale by all dealers.

Office of the County Auditor of York County, 8outh Carolina. Yorkvllle, S. C? November 30, 1000. As required by statute my books will be opened at my office In Yorkvllle on SATURDAY, JANUARY 1, 1910, and kept open until FEBRUARY 20, 1910, for the purpose of listing tor taxation all PERSONAL and REAL PROPERTY held in York county on January 1, 1910. Particular attention is called to the fact that all real property must be reassessed during the period mentioned, and all property real or personal not si returned, will be subject to a penalty of 60 per cent which will be added after February 20. All returns must be made in regular form and it is preferable that they be made by the property owner In person to me or my assistant, direct, on blanks j provided for the purpose. The returns must be duly sworn to either before me or my assistant or some other officer qualified to administer an oath. All Items, of realty whether farms, or town lots, must be listed separately, and no return which simply says, "same as last year," or "no changes," will be accepted. Returns made on proper blanks, and sworn to before an officer qualified to administer an oath and forwarded to ? me by registered mail before February 20, 1910, will be accepted. All taxpayers are particularly requested to inform themselves as to the number of their respective school districts, and where they have property In more than one school district, they will nlf>A? malte Rpnnrnte returns indicat- S Ing the location of each piece of property. The school districts in which there are special leviea are as follows: Nos. 23 and 27. in Bethel township; Nos. 6, 29, 33 and 43 in Bethesda township; Nos. 9, 20 and 40 in Broad River township; Nos. 9, 15 and 20 in Bullock's Creek township; No. 12 Catawba township; Nos. 7. 12, 35 and 43 in Ebenezer township: Noa. 26, 28 and 39 in Fort Mill township; Nos. 2 and 37 in King's Mountain township; Nos. 11, 20, 33, 35, \M 42 and 43 in York township. For the purpose of facilitating the taking of returns, and for the greater convenience of taxpayers, I will be at the following places on the dates named: ^ At Fort Mill, Wednesday, Thursday * and Friday, January 19, 20 and 21. At McConnell8viUe, Monday, January 24. At Ogden, Tuesday, January 26. At Coates' Tavern, Wednesday, January 26?Roddey's. At Rock Hill, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, January 27, 28 and 29, and ruesday, Wednesday and Thursday, February 2, 3 and 4. The office in Yorkville will be open 4 luring the whole period of taking returns. All males between the ages of twenty-one and sixty years, except Confed?rate soldiers over the age of fifty fears, are liable to a poll tax of |1, and ill persons so liable are especially re- _ luested to give the numbers of their w respective school districts in making their returns. It will be a matter of much accommodation to me if as many taxpayers is possible will meet me at the respective appointments, mentioned above 30 as to avoid the rush at Torkvllle luring the closing days.
