A lonely and half-starved trump was looking out for some place in which he could possibly get a night's lodging and something to eat, when he saw, not far away, a man standing in front of a large house near the road. Approaching him. he said: "Can I get a place to stay all night, and get a bite for supper and breakfast?" "Have you any money?" "No, sir; but I am weary and tired; please take me in." .Ml, II IdKra iiionr-,? nriv. "Well," said the tramp. "I have no money, hut 1 am somewhat <>f a poet, and if you will take me in, give me my supper, bed and breakfast I'll write you an epitaph." "An epitaph! What's that?" "Oh, it's a few lines to be plaeed on your tombstone, describing your good deeds, etc.. in life." "Well, say, 1 don't know you, maybe if I was to see some of yer lines yer talk about maybe I would keep ye till arter supper." "Well, I'll write the first verse before supper, provided if it suits I am to have my bed and breakfast before completing the second and last verse?" "Good nuff." "Well, now, what is your name?" "Keezle." "All right, Mr. Keezle. The lines be fore supper: There was a man who died of late. For whom the angels did expectant wait. With outstretched arms and wings of love. To waft him to the realms above. "Yes, yes: come to the house." Next morning after breakfast: "Say, mister, you just finish that verse before you leave." "All right, here goes": But while the angels waited for the prize. Still hovering round the lower skies. In slipped the devil, like a weasel. And down he pulled old Keezle. ?National Monthly. Proof That He Was There. As John O. Sproul, manager of one of the departments, stood wondering what he ought to buy to meet the weather conditions, he saw walking down the aisle a tall, lean man. "Shay, fellah," began the stranger, addressing Sproul, "ha' you seen anv thing o' my wife?" "I don't know,' replied Sproul, stepping to one side to avoid the toxic influence of the man's breath. "I don't happen to be acquainted with your wife. Take a- look around here and perhaps you can pick her out." He waved his hand in the direction of the crowd of women. "I 'uz to meet 'er here," the man went on "and?" "All right," interrupted Sproul. "Take a look around." In about five minutes the semi-pickled one returned. "Say, ol' round face," he began familiarly" "I wanna receipt." "Want what?" "I wanna receipt?a receipt to show my wife. I promised t' meet 'er here and she'd never b'lieve I 'uz here 'less I show 'er receipt. See? C'n you gimme receipt?'

"A fox would he satisfied with a hawk, and a sparrrow would satisfy a hawk. eh. dad?" "H'm! If you don't go away?" "And a spider would make a meal for a sparrow?" "Yes. yes! Now?" "Wait a minute, dad. Now we're coming to it. A spider would he satisfied with a fly wouldn't it?" "Yes, my son." "And a drop of molasses would he enough for a fly, wouldn't it?"

A Petition In Bankruptcy.?Many delicate compliments have l?een paid the fair sex hy men subtle in speech, but the following comes straight from the heart of an illiterate negro, who was married in the south the other day by a white minister. At the conclusion of the marriage the bridegroom asked the price of the service. "Oh. well." answered the minister, "you can pay me whatever you think it is worth to you." The negro turned and silently looked his bride over from head to foot: then, slowly rolling up the whites of his eyes, said: "bawd. sah. you has done ruined me for life; you has, for sure."?Harper's Monthly.

White Pedestrianism anil boating seem to have the call with a number of Fort Mill young men. Friday morning Murray Mack, Honus Wagner and Kenneth Nims set out afoot for Mt. Holly. X. C? thirty miles away, by the public roads. They negotiated the distance in nine hours and spent the night with friends in the little North Carolina city on the Catawba river. Saturday morning the party decided to return via the Catawba and ought a boat in which to make L.e return trip. The river route between Mt. Holly and Fort Mill is thirty-five miles, but the young men consumed less time returning than they did outgoing, reaching Fort Mill in eight hours. The trip was greatly enjoyed anil the only obstacle to smooth sailing was the necessity of carrying the boat around the dam of the Southern Power company The latest undertaking by which the local chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy are striving to perpetuate the memory of the departed soldiers of the south whose graves are in this community is the placing of an iron marker at each. The marker is made of iron, with an outer coating of aluminum, and is both appropriate and ornamental. It is a maltese cross in design, as is the cross of honor worn by many Confederate veterans, and is one foot square with a spear eighteen inches in length to be driven into tiic ground to hold the marker in place. On the face of the marker appear the Latin words "Deo Vlniliee" (God Vindicates), surrounded by a laurel wreath. Below the wreath is a star, in the points of which are the years of the war, 186! ^ "1.1 - U . * J M>:?. un lilt- icvciae smc in niiirker, in large letters, is the C. .S. A., also surrounded by a laurel wreath. The markers are not expensive, but they are not furnished free to the chapter by the manufacturers, and as it will require a considerable sum to place one at each of the fifty-one graves of veterans in the Fort Mill cemetery and the numerous other soldier graves at Flint Hill church and elsewhere in the community, any contributions which the public is pleased to make to further the laudable undertaking will be gratefully received by the Daughters. Mrs. J. M. Spratt and Mrs. R. F. Grier are the committee to whom contributions should be sent The most important boost we have yet seen for the cause of compulsory education in the sou'h was the recent unanimous endorsement given the proposal by the Weekly Press association of Georgia. Such an endorsement is worth more than all the reso lutions that could be passed by the various teachers' associations of the south in a year. The weekly Press of Georgia, as of the other states of the south, is a power and when its editors work conceitedly for any undertaking results are sure to follow. Compulsory education for South Carolina has never appealed with much force to this paper. There are objections to the proposed law the operation of which we have feared not ho nvorr'nmfl hv thf> bene (its to be derived from the wholesome features. No sane man can deny, however, that every white child is entitled to an education and that the state should provide for his educational wants, regardless of the cost. One has but to frequent the places where the youth of both sexes are to be found and listen to their conversation to reach the conclusion that there is a screw loose in our educational system. In Port Mill, for instance, such like remarks as "the hands are apt to starve to death if the mill loses much more time" is a comparatively mild reminder that something should be done to force a little learning into heads that .are now devoid of anything approaching knowledge of the correct use of simple English words.

Mr. Frank Crews, Agency Supervisor, ' Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Co., < Richmond, Va. J Dear Sir: ? It gives me pleasure to state that the < $1 f.,000 policy which I have in the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company is ' the best policy that I have. I am car- 1 rying a large amount of insurance in a ' number of other companies, but I like 1 none of them so well as the Mutual Benefit. Its contract is simple and free < from restrictions, and my only regret ' is that I <li<] not take out my insurance 1 at a younger age. for it would now all be paid up. Every young man should ( begin to take life insurance early in ( life. In my mind there is nothing he ' could do that would be more helpful to < him from a business standpoint, because this action on his part carries with it the idea that he is beginning to ' develop some of those sterling qnali- 1 ties such as forethought, prudence, and I a high regard for obligations which are necessary to make a good business j man. In making a loan front a bank, ' there is no better 'lateral than a Mutual Renetit . b.-.v. with its liberal cash ' and loan values. ' Wishing you and your Company much success, I am, Very truly yours. Win. C. Camp. ( The above is typical of scores and J hundreds of endorsements of the Mutual Renetit by the most successful and prominent business and professional J men in all parts of the United States, j You will be just as well pleased as is j Mr. Cantp in case you join the ranks of the grand old Company.
