tumorous Jlcpartmcnt. The Price of Sate.?George E. Turner, at a dinner In the Curtis hotel in Lenox, according to the Boston Herald, 1 said: "This hotel was originally a New England boarding house. The board was simple, and the original old Cur- 1 tis was a character. < "Curtis used to drive an aristocratic woman, Mrs. Butler, every afternoon. One day he was extremely talkative. , Mrs. Butler stood his talk for an hour or so and then she said, in her stiffest 1 manner: " 'Mr. Curtis, I pay you to drive, not to 1&1K. "Curtis, of course, said no more. But when the bill came a^t the end of the month there was one day's charge which was set at $2.50 instead of the usual 50 cents. " 'Mr. Curtis,' said Mrs. Butler, 'what is the reason for this singular charge?' "'Half a dollar for the drive and $2 for your sass,' Curtis answered, gruffly." Reciprocity.?"Upon my word," said [ the ever complaining wife to the henpecked husband, according to the Philadelphia Times, "you will have to pun- ' ish these children of ours for disobeying my orders and for ransacking my rooms." "What have the little dears been up to now," inquired the husband. "They have made my sewing room into a beer garden," answered the wife angrily. "Nothing is in its right place. Cotton, wool, pins, scissors and all my working materials are Jammed into 1 odd corners." "That wasn't the children," said Mr. 1 Jacobs, in his quietest tones. "I did 1 that." "You did It, did you, and pray what possessed you?" she retorted. "My kindness of heart prompted me to do it.

"Oh, about an hour late." The hour passed, and the query was repeated. \ "Well, they'll be about an hour and j twenty minutes late here." Patience reigned until the query was 1 justly renewed, and the railroad man , replied: I "Well, sir, I think that train will be ! near two hours late." , Whereupon the passenger said: I "Say, mister, will you kindly tell me 1 which way that train is going?"?Portland Oregonlan. .

Again the name suggests a reminiscence. Recent dispatches tell us of a series of fights of mountain clansmen in the streets of Spartanburg. s>. C. That is the town which once hafd a mayor?a German and a jeweler a peaceful tinker with dilapidated watches, but a certain Confederate artilleryman and a conscientious official and all a man. One day a crowd of mountaineers raided his town to take out and lynch a pris oner. In Ms metnoaicai, exaci, German way he hauled out an old brass cannon, placed in front of the jail and pointed it carefully to the centre of the approaching street. Then he loaded it with a full charge of powder, emptied into it a keg of ten penny nails, rammed down the patching and quietly awaited the coming of the mob. When it appeared he stood alone, lanyard in hand, and advised his fellow-citizens not to come any further. They did not come. There was no lynching. In June. 1879, John Moore was in Spartanburg jail. He was a man of wealth and influence of a certain kind. He had a thriving farm and a more thriving distillery. He sold liquor in his neighborhood and had a gang around him. One or two strangers who went to his house disappeared and never were heard of. Men who offended him were shot at or mysteriously beaten or cut. One Sunday a girl came along walking from Spartanburg toward her home in Pickens oounty, in the mountains, 30 miles away?a sturdy, honest mountain girl to whom a 30 mile walk was no great matter and who was accustomed from tier surroundings and upbringing to trust men frankly and to call without hesitation on the hospitality of the country people. She stopped at John Moore's house and when she had had her dinner trudged away along a path through the woods which he pointed out to her as a short cut. He tollowed her. Three days later, men, heir curiosity aroused by circling buzzards, found her dead beneath a tree, i few feet off the path, a hundred ,'aras or so irom miuuie ngei mn, tier throat was cut. The ground ibout showed that she had fought until the very moment of death, when she could right no longer. Her body ivas mutilated, but the coroner reported that she was right. The uniting perception qf mountaineer trailers, silent and sparing of speech out deadly in their conclusions, showed John Moore's shoe prints from the body to the river. There he was supposed to have thrown the little tawdry Jewelry the girl had, the rings trom rier ringers and the broach from her neck, all torn from her. Moore was arrested and put in the Spartanburg jail. He employed the best lawyers at the local bar. The story went out that he was to apply to the circuit court or to the supreme lourt for bail. The mayor of the town was then Mr. Thompson, a large, placid man. He sat on the curb stone near the front door of the jail about 11 o'clock jf a star-lit night with a reporter for i Charleston newspaper and a citizen. The Morgan Rifles?named after old Daniel Morgan, who led the continentals at the battle of Cowpens, loyally known as "The Cuppins," a few miles from Spartanburg?had been called. Not a Morgan rifleman could be lound, high or low. No Morgan rifleman wanted to serve to protect John Moore. The mayor arose near midnight, smiled and drew a long areath in a satisfied way, and said: "Well, nothing will happen tonight." The citizen thought differently. He threw his head to one side, paused intently a moment, and then said: "Nothing? Hell, listen." Through the darkness, along the ong rock bottomed road leading into ;he town came the sound of the steady 'Inttorlno' of thp hoofs of horses many horses, ridden at a slow gallop. Presently into the town they :ame?six hundred or more of them, mountain men riding two and two, silent, sitting on their horses steadily. Many of them were kinsmen and neighbors and of the clan of the girl whose throat had been cut. They had got the rumor through the mountains that John Moore was to get bail. They had come to see about that and an their way had gathered more men from upper Anderson and Greenville md Spartanburg. Wherever in the mountains they stopped and told a man the case, that man began with eager hands to cram the bit into the mouth of his horse and throw on and buckle his saddle and look to his firearms; and his wife and daughters urged him to make haste and to bring them back a piece of the rope. They wanted to look at it. And word was *ent up the side roads and boys and L>ld men as fast as they could throw their legs over the saddles and get their feet into the stirrups came pelting along. The word had gone to the mountains and down t' hills the mountain men came. As the columns turned the corner toward the jail the citizens waiting there, probably including many of the Morgan Rifles, cheered heartily. Then the heart of the mayor sank. An old soldier himself, he knew the meaning when the cavalrymen halted. dismounted, left a man to each four horses and by four deployed. They knew. The jail was overcome tnd searched systematically. Then the horsemen went through the town. At the corner where the Old Palmetto hotel used to be a big man on i big gray horse sat silent until he <aw coming the men he wanted? veterans. Then he spoke once? "Ten men this way." They rode down a side street, dismounted silently, -passed through a field, beneath a railroad trestle and with one united heave turned up a little bridge spanning a ditch where i public road crossed the railroad, rhe deputy sheriffs were there with Winchesters but eleven revolvers brought them to inactivity. Moore was beneath the bridge. Nothing was said as he was lifted out. He was put in a buggy and carried la miles back to the tree beneath which the body of the girl had been found, the men on horseback following. He had been a soldier and on the way agreed with those nearest him he would confess if he might be =hot instead of hanged. As the earlionnlicrVi t wq a o-iMinor tho tnno nf trov ouin?6iiv v..v ?,wrw w? the trees on the mountains he was led through his own yard, along the path where the girl had gone and where he had followed. At a turn in the path he was stopped and the reporter, who had run. walked, wadJd. forded streams and ridden and fronted many times the enquiring nuzzles of revolvers, was called on o take the confession. All sat together on a log. Moore told a long ind rambling story of himself, befinning days before the murder and jutrage. The long, lean mountaineer who sat close to the culprit's left side, listened without comment or juestion, chewing tobacco quietly. It lecame evident that Moore was talkng for time in the desperate hope that lis lawyers or troops or some rescue night come. When he had at last after many de.niil ttirnimr aside, brouerht his story to the day of the tragedy and oncluded with a dramatic declaration hat he knew nothing of it. the long nountaineer leaned forward and spat iccurately into an ant hole he had >een watching. "Hell." he said. "That ain't no onfession. Como on." So they took John Moore and formal a great ring about him. broad day ight by that time, and 1.500 men. He vas put in the midst to say his last rayers with a Methodist clergyman n his knees in the dust beside him ind his wife wailing the mountain woman's keen. The tribe and kin dred and clan of the girl whose ; throat had been cut, looked on, eyes hard as steel balls, fumbling with their beards. And then Moore was taken to the tree beneath which the girl's body was found and hanged with a plow line. Because he had been a soldier it was conceded that his body should not be mutilated by bullets. They promised him that and kept their promise. But they kept him hanging half an hour, to make sure, and then, quite solemnly and decorously, the rope was cut into small pieces and distributed to the women, and especially that the Pickens county women of the girl's clan, might see it. Doubtless some of them have it yet. Pickens county girls and mountain girls are safe to walk through that country to this day?32 years after. The hanging of John Moore is remembered. A monument has been built to the girl who died defending her chastity. If you happen In Pickens county and strike one of the old timers and ask him about that thirty mile ride over the mountains to hang John Moore with the Greenville and Spartanburg mountaineers helping, probably you will see a hard look come into his eyes and he will tell you, confidentially, that he had never ceased to regret that John Moore had but one life to lose, the one neck to stretch. And going home from the hanging was George, a colored citizen, riding a mule and deeply Impressed by the proceedings. The lynching of a white man was unusual. ' I Overtaking George came two white men, one of whom reined up. "George," he said, "we don't know what will come of this. You want to be careful and keep your mouth shut about what you have seen." "Lawsy me, Mars Andy," said George, "sure I ain't goin' to say nothin'. To tole ycu the truf, I think myself Mr. Mo' got off mighty light."? A. B. Williams in Roanoke Times. THE COWARDLY SHARK. Experiences In Australia With Finny Maneater. Australia is surrounded by a sea which is literally seething with sharks. T+ \a nAt nnlv a Inn cr tho nnrthorn nrta at 4U "Vfc ViiV ..w. VVMW* that they are to be found. Even In the waters about Hobart, says Egbert T. Russell, writing In the Australian monthly the Lone Hand, the shark Is a common object, and It is not so many years ago that a fishing party was grievously alarmed when its boat was surrounded by a dozen or more ten footers, which lent interest to the proceedings by flapping their tails against the sides of the boat and snapping at a frenziedly pulled oar. Yet despite the fact that the shark is common In every Australian sea and exceedingly so in every Australian estuary and that people of varying degrees of foolhardiness bathe in both to the number of probably millions yearly, shark tragedies are so rare as to shock the entire community when they occur. Why the shark should hesitate to take advantage of the enormous quantities of fresh human meat provided for him I is a mystery which none of the theories I advanced explain satisfactorily. if; Perhaps the most feasible explana- I tion of all Is that nature has implanted I in all the lower forms of animal life a | horrible fear of man, a fear which has I a considerable amount of reason in it ? and without which there would proba- 9 bly be no lower forms of life at all to- 9 day and man himself would be a vege- ? tarian or a cannibal. During the last hundred years thousands of boats have upset in Sydney harbor, an area infested by sharks, and yet not one of the floundering yachtsmen has ever been attacked by a shark. This goes to indicate that the fearsome spectacle of a huge white sail lying over the water scared away all the sharks in the vicinity. It is not so many years ago that during a high sea a shark was washed into the Bogie Hole at Bondi, just outside the baths. Next day the discovery was made and a score of residents gathered round, each propounding schemes for cl capturing the fish alive. In the middle of the consultation a man in bathing costume?either skilled in shark habits or yearning for fame?made a cynical remarK aoout caicning me snarn mm- g self while the others were talking n about It and dived with a loud splash nr Into the hole. The shark was so ^ frightened that by a supershark effort n it scrambled rather than swam over ai the ledge of rock running awash and escaped into the bay. ^ Only a few yards away within the rr present year a ten foot gray nurse shark forgot Its principles or grew suddenly courageous and made a dash for a bather just outside the surf. It had not gained many feet before the shout- C( ing and splashing of the other bathers ^ in the water knocked out all its cour- s age and it turned tail and fled. Further, there is the experience of every " regular surf bather on all the beaches that though sharks may hover about the bathing spots they refrain from venturing close so long as a number of bathers are present. At night, when there are few bathers or none at all, it is possible to catch sharks from any of the ocean beaches around Sydney with a hook and line .; thrown from the water's edge. That they are so caught is manifest by the _ bodies which may be seen lying along ? the beaches in early mornings, in defl- p ance of local ordinances, bags of as 01 many as a dozen being recorded for four hours work. But in the daytime, when ~ the shallows are thick with bathers, not a shark is to be seen, or if a fin does show up occasionally it gives a wide berth to the points where the bathers are thick. The belief of the surf bather that though the shark may attack him alone it is not sufficiently courageous to venture near four or five or more, seems optimistic to the person who knows not surf, but experience seems to prove that it has a solid foundation of fact. While the shark is generally timid to the verge of cowardice and has never vn one recorded instance summoned up enough courage to pit Itself against a number of human beings it has displayed extra audacity on occasions. Some years back a man on horseback, stirrup deep, on the foreshore of South Melbourne, was dragged from his horse and killed. Only last year a boatman up to his knees in the shallows of Woy Woy as he tied up his boat was attached by a shark, which darted and tore his trousers as a terrier might. It is perhaps unfortunate that sharks are not more given to attack human beings. Were it so there would be fewer tragedies. It is the immunity thai man enjoys from shark attack that makes him venturesome and leads one of his number every now and then to meet with death or mutilation.?London Globe. X* The arrival in Vienna of the first shipment of frozen meat from Argentina was turned into an event of almost civic importance. It consisted of 50,000 pounds of beef and mutton. The quality of the meat and the manner of its packing have received the approval of the Austrian-authorities. larger shipments are to follow at once, as the meat famine in Austria is making itself increasingly felt.
