^tumorous Jrpartmrnt. They Knew Him.?At the last annual banquet of the Ohio society, says the Denver Times, A. C. Carson, president of that organization, told a story which began with the statement that "Ohioans require no more identification than a Kansas hotel keeper named Ed Wood, who stammered copiously. "Ed went home to visit his English cousins. When he got back as far as little old?whatever the town's name is?he found his stock of ready money rather short. So he wired to his Kansas banker to send him $175. Smith, the 1 anker, wired to Ed: " 'Have sent money care Kuhns & Co.* "To Kuhns & Co., he wired: " 'Pay to Ed Wood $175 my account. Wood may be identified by stammer.' "When Wood got back to Kansas he went to see his banking friend and said: "'S-s-s-ay, J-Joe, those K-k-k-uuhns people are the finest s-s-s-et of g-g-g-gentlemen I ever met. I w-went around there and s-said: "Did J-Joe S-s-mith s-s-send me s-s-s-ome mmoney?" They said, 'Y-yes.' I said. "B-b-by gin-n-ger, sh-shell 'er out." They handed it out to m-me and nnevor asked for any id-d-dentl-fi-flcatlon.'" Patience: Who's He??The old, "bred-in-the-bone" Cornlshman of upper Michigan is a character that once met is not soon forgotten. While he has a distinct sense of humor, he is funniest when he least intends to be, and this is due In no small degree to his peculiar dialect, the latter being not only difficult to understand, but still more so to reproduce. The following Is typical: The boss went up in a raise where two of his old reliable workmen were drilling, greeting them with " "Ow she coming up, boys?" "Some slow, cap'n, some slow." "Well," said he. "ne'er mind, patience and perce'verance will put un through." And the captain walked on. Said one of the men In the raise: " 'Enry, wo be this Patience and this Perce'verance?" Damned If I da knaw, lest be they taw bluddy Finlanders in tuthei stowp." Half an hour later found Henry and his partner demanding their pay up to date, just as the captain stepped Into the office. "Well, me sons, what's matter? "W'ur leavln\ cap'n; If yaw dha want they taw bluddy Finlanderb to put un through, you can 'ave 'ey; Patience and Ferce'verance. 'ay? You cun 'ave 'ey, you cun 'ave 'ey."?Engineering and Minir\tr Tnn rnn 1 Gratitude.?Sir Thomas LJpton relates the following experience of his own: "When I was starting in business I was very poor and needed every penny I could earn to enlarge my little business. I had a lad of fourteen as assistant. One Monday morning the boy came in with a very mournful expression. I asked him what the trouble was, and he said: " 'I have no clothes fit to wear to church, sir. I can't get a new suit, because my father is dead and I have to help my mother pay the rent.' "I thought it over and finally took enough money from my hard-earned savings to buy the lad a good, warm suit of clothes, with which he was delighted. "The next day he did not come to work, nor the next: and when three days had gone by and I had heard nothing from him, I went to his home to find out what had become of him. " 'Well, you see, sir,' said the mother of the boy, 'Robert looks so respectable in his new suit, thanks to you, sir, that we thought he had better look around town and see if he couldn't get a better Job.' "?Everybody's Magazine. Curiosity?An Irishman walked up Fifth Avenue, dropped into a Presbyterian church and immediately went to sleep. After the services were over the sexton came and shook him by the arm. "We are about to close up," said that functionary, "and I'll have to ask you to go now." "What talk have you?" sajd the Irishman. "The cathedral never closes." "This is not the cathedral," said the sexton. "The cathedral is several blocks above here. This is a Presbyterian church." The Irishman sat up with a jerk and looked about him. On the walls be tween the windows were handsome paintings of the Apostles. "Ain't that Saint Luke over yonder?" he demanded. "It is." said the sexton. "And Saint Mark just beyant him?" "Yes." "And. still farther along. Saint Timothy?" "Yes." "Young man." demanded the Irishman. "sinee whin did all thim turn Protestants?"?Saturday Evening Post. The First Spring Quarrel.?The neighbors were enjoying their first spring quarrel. "Confound you. you've been coaxing my hens over into your yard!" "Why. you dingblistered chump, it's the seeds in my p "den that do the coaxing!" "Ha, ha, your garden! I like that!" "Xot half so well as your hens do!" "Pooh, pooh! You coax my hens to crawl under your house and lay." "Your hens are cheeky trespassers." "Yes, and your little boy crawls under the house and pets the eggs." "Does he? It's lucky he's so thin." "If you were a square man you'd close up these holes in the foundation." "If you were a sanitary expert you'd know that ventilation is a prime necessity." "Confound you, I'll put up a spite fence!" "Hang you, I'll have a jollification if you do!" Whereupon they separate, without clinching and stalk their several ways. ?Cleveland Plain Dealer. This Never Happened.?Mary met Emily on the street. They had not seen each other for many years. "Why. how do you do!" exclaimed Mary effusively, topping off the salutation with a few vague pecks at Emily's face. "Now, this is delightful," said Emily, who was older than Mary. "You haven't seen me for eleven years and and yet you knew me at once. I couldn't have changed so dreadfully In all that time. It flatters me." Said Mary: "I recognized your bonnet."?Popular Magazine. ittiscfllanrous WITH NEIGHBORING EXCHANGES. Notes and Comments About Matters of Local Interest.

Gastonia Gazette, April 26: Big Andy Cloninger, of Dallas, was in town Wednesday and brought the news that a little grandchild of Mr. John Costner was killed Tuesday morning by a falling tree. It seems that Mr. Costner went out some distance from the house to cut down a tree. The little threeyear-old child of his daughter, who lives with him followed without his knowing it. He was unaware of the child's presence. When the tree fell it struck the child, killing it almost Instantly. Mr. Costner lives at the Peter Rhyne place about three miles north of Dallas.

Together with Mr Lark Ratchford of the city light department. Mr. Loughridge had been to to Belmont, each of the young men riding a motorcycle. At a point not far east of McAdenville on the county macadam road Mr. Loughridge, who was in the rear, ran into a cow which was crossing the road. He was going at a high rate of speed. In the collision the cow sustained two broken legs and other injuries, being knocked down an embankment. Mr. Loughridge was thrown violently for some distance and sustained very painful bruises about his head and face. Mr. Ratchford, who was some distance ahead, knew nothing of the accident to his companion and did not miss him until he reached the Flint Mill. He turned back and found Mr. Loughridge at the scene of the accident where two or three negroes had found him and were trying to render hint assistance. He was brought on to Gastonia and taken to the hospital where his wounds were dressed and where he is testing fairly well. Fortunately he sustained no bone fractures and. it is believed, no internal injuries. A DEED OF DARING. How Mad Anthony Wayne Stormed Stony Point. One of the most marvelous achievements credited to American bravery and strategy was that of the capture of Stony Point by Mad Anthony Wayne, who was one of the most pic lui'f.H|ue iigurt-s ui nit- ^iiit i linn ncvolution. When he was superseded in command of the Pennsylvania line, even after his brilliant success at Monmouth on June 28, 1778, si less ambitious and patriotic man would have resigned his commission. It seemed the irony of fate that the setback in his career should follow so closely the official encomiums for his work at Monmouth, but that very setback gave him Stony Point?the greatest opportunity of his life?and he made good. There were two important factors, discipline and valor, that entered into this remarkable achievement, the capture of a fortress on the Hudson held by the British and considered almost impregnable. Stony Point was an island and the fortress was built on a rock which was precipitous and rough. It was guarded by three redoubts and protected by a double abatis of logs that extended across the peninsula. The post was garrisoned by 607 men, who felt so secure in their position that they were wont to refer to the post as the "Little Gibraltar." On July 14 General Wayne assembled all his troops at Sandy Beach, and at that moment none of his sol diers knew the plans of their commander. The following day the march began over a wilderness trail and in perfect silence. Not a man was allowed to leave the column under penalty of death. By 8 o'clock that night they were within one and one-half miles of the British fortress. Then the men were told of the desperate work ahead of them and the battle orider read. No man was allowed to load his musket, and the battle was to be won or lost with the bayonet alone. One portion of the order provided that any man found retreating a single foot was to be put to death at once. Close to midnight the order to advance was given. The fort was to be (attacked from all sides. Once in motion General Wayne lost no time. The British opened fire with guns, both great and small. Seventeen of the twenty men in one advance guard were shot down, but the companies in the rear eagerly pressed on. General Wayne himself, struck in the head with a musket ball, fell stunned. He recovered In a moment and, rising on one knee, shouted: "March on! March on!" Then, turning to his aids he begged them to take him Into the fort so that If his wound was mortal he would die at the head of his column. General Wayne's wound drove his followers to a frenzy. They dashed up the hill and battered down all op-1 position. Colonel Fleury, a French officer In the American service, at the head of his determined band forced his way up the redoubt and as the soldiers poured Into the fort grasped the British flag and lowered It. The victory w.as complete. The British lost 53 killed and 543 taken prisoners, of whom 70 were wounded. The Americans lost 15 killed and had 83 wounded. It was one of the most daring and desperate Incidents of any war. From every point of view the storming of Stony Point was a remarkable feat of arms, but back of the success of that night was a story of preparedness, the cause which has always been overshadowed by the brilliancy of the result. General Wayne had trained his men, stimulated their pride, enforced rigid discipline, had them at the point of attack at the right moment and then with inspiring valor led them. The victory at Stony Point naturally aroused a tremendous enthusiasm, and It came at the right time. The country was depressed if not quite discouraged. and Stony Point was like a tonic. It gave the people more strength, more courage and at a time when they sadly needed it. Not only did General Wayne receive official recognition, but he was in receipt of hundreds of congratulatory letters expressing popular and professional opinion.?Chicago News. Witchcraft in Scotland. That belief In witchcraft and brutal treatment of alleged witches once loomed large in Scotland is shown In Stewart Dick's "The Pageant of the Forth." In 1705 Plttenweem gained unenviable notoriety from a series of prosecutions of old women and the pamphleteers of the day were kept busy on both sides In defending and denouncing the action of the magistrates. The author says: "It seems that a blacksmith, one Patrick Morton, being taken ill, declared that he was bewitched, and on his instigation a number of old women were thrown into prison. Bullied hy the magistrates and ministers-of the town by day and tortured by their guards by night who never let them sleep, but kept them awake by pricking them with pins, these miserable old women were soon Induced to confess anything. "One woman in particular, Beatrice Layng, had been singled out* by Morton for his special vengeance. He said that she came asking him to make some nails for her. He, believing they were for some evil purpose, refused to do so, and she went off muttering Imprecations. When he fell ill she was heard to say, 'He micht blame his ane tongue for his ill.' On this issue of trivialities she was imprisoned and practically under torture she acknowledged that she had made a wax image of Morton and stuck pins in it. "After a long period of judicial bullying she was set free, or; in other words, handed over to the mob to work their will on her. Hanged on a rope between a shop and the shore, she was pelted with stones till half dead and finally pressed to death under a door. It seems that in those days no one was safe against the wildest accusations which might be brought against him." ?Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Our Capital is $, Our Surplus is $.

Blue laws were no Joke, though often an object of Irony and derision. They were drawn up by Puritan pioneers?a race of stern and inflexible men who In excess of their religious zeal and enthusiasm adopted such sanctimonious names as Stand-Faston-High Stringer, Kill-Sin Smith, More Fruit Fowler, Flght-the-Good-Fight Fowler. These men went st'ralght to the old Mosaic law of Holy Writ for their code. In fact, each section of the capital laws has its Bible text appended? a grewsome combination of sermon and death warrant. The original blue laws were those written of the New Haven, (Conn.) colony, at the first more or less unwritten or, at least, unprlnted, but systematized and printed by Governor Eaton In 1656. They were enveloped in blue-colored paper, whence the popular and subsequently unpopular name. The Plymouth and Massachusetts colonies also had their blue laws calculated to send a chill through every human vein. Even New York, Maryland. Virginia and South Carolina ?In fact. all the ungnsn colonial settlements In seventeenth-century America?had laws, orders and resolutions of more or less pronounced indigo tint. But the true blue laws or code was that which terrorized early Connecticut. Those known as capital laws and purporting to punish, according to the penalties prescribed In the Old Testament, those offenses forbidden therein, were enacted In April, 1642. The texts of Scripture on which they were based were added to each law, as dicta probanda, showing the divine authority by which they were defended, and are singular specimens of jurisprudence. For instance, witchcraft Is one of the offenses taken up. It Is enacted that "If a man or woman be a witch, or hath consulted with a familiar spirit, they shall be put to death." And "If any man steal a man or mankind or selleth him, or he be found In his hand, he shall be put to death." Yet the good colonists made slaves of the Pequot Indians, as the regulation punishment for breaking the same blue laws. The Puritan legislators, having disposed of the ordinary, everyday crimes, went on In due course to enact the more minute laws covering every conceivable misdemeanor, from sneezing In church to crossing a stream otherwise than by the licensed ferry. It reminds one of Dr. Qulncy's ironical observations to the effect that the habit of murder, If persisted In, may lead Insensibly to procrastination and Sabbath breaking. The following examples, transcribed literally from the best authorities on American Colonial history, relate mostly to the heinous crimes of Sabbath breaking. "No one shall run on the Sabbath day, or walk In his garden or elsewhere, except reverently to and from meeting. "No one shall travel, cook victuals, make beds, sweep house, cut hair or shave on the Sabbath day. "No woman shall kiss her child on the Sabbath or fasting day. "The Sabbath shall begin at sunset on Saturday. "If any man shall kiss his wife or wife kiss her husband on the Lord's day, the party In fault Bhall be punished at the discretion of the court of magistrates."?Baltimore Sun. Origin of the "Three r's."?The famous toast to "the three R's?reading, 'riting and 'rithmetlc"?was made by Sir William Curtis, lord mayor of London, in the year 1795 and for many years one of the wardens of the tower. What made it more ludicrous was that he proposed it at a dinner given by the London board of education. It was received with great applause and drunk amid much merriment. At the time it was recognized as a jest, but was afterward taken up in earnest by the mayor's detractors, who have handed his name down to posterity as a blundering ignoramus. A writer has now come to his defense and says that when he was a boy an aged member of the board of education assured him that Sir William knew better and that he really used his famous alliteration as a jest. To many people, however, the story will always sound better when It is based upon the belief that Sir William was really serious. 250,000.00 and 90,000.00. : :: he strongest banks 3 CAPITAL, SURPLUS AND at all times to loan short time loans AND ,nd see us.

ENDOWMENT INSURANCE. The average layman has the Impresilon that life insurance is a dle-to-win proposition, but all who think this way ire mistaken, because it is a fact that ^ it is a winning proposition whether the i8sured lives or dies. The Mutual Benefit issues policies that guarantee lo pay the assured the face of the polcy in cash at the end of Ten, Fifteen ir Twenty years, If living, or at prior leath, whether that event occurs on .he day the policy is delivered and paid for, or on any other day previous to the end of the Ten, Fifteen or rwenty year period. Policies carryng this guarantee cost more than a ren, Fifteen or Twenty Pay life pdlcy?a life poNey being a contract In vhieh the face or principal sum is payible at death, but under the unique iccelerative endowment plan of the dutual Benefit a life policy Is converted into an endowment and the prenium is the same as is charged on any >ther life policy. The only difference >eing that instead of using dividends ^ o reduce cost they are allowed to accumulate. The plan and its advan- J ages cannot be satisfactorily explained within the space that is available, ind if you are interested, and you ihould be if you are not, if you will ndicate a desire for further InformaIon it will be my pleasure to furlish it.
