When sorrow, in the form of death, enters into a home it is the duty of every friend and acquaintance to convey their sympathy and condolence to those who are sorely stricken. How to do this adequately or how it should be done is a matter of no little consideration to those whose duty it is to offer consolation in some form or other to their sorrowing frienda What form it should take is the first idea that presents itself to the mind. To send a wire at first sight is perhaps the most direct way of expressing sympathy on the spur of the moment, but this only lends itself where long friendship exists; under ordinary circumstances it would not meet the case. When this is resorted to, the message is a brief one, and the words, "Deepest sympathy with your great ?? ?? "Finanlv trrimroH tn hpftf suuun, vi i a/w|/ij o* *v? vw ? the sad news,'' or to still more intimate friends the words might be added, "Let me know how you are." In fact, the wire might contain any affectionate message the sender might desire to convey. Notes of sympathy follow these wires in due course, and in writing them, sympathy should be the keynote of every line, regret for the one that has passed away, every kind expression relating to him that can be used, and every word of comfort and condolence that can be thought of should be embodied in the note calculated to soften in some measure the loss felt to the bereaved. The actual wording of these notes can only be left to the writer thereof, but the foregoing will give an indication as to what is most applicable to the circumstances of the case. To send cards of condolence to close friends would be considered over formal, but in the case of acquaintances they are quite appropriate. Visiting cards should be used for the purpose, and the following is usually written at the top of the cards: "With kindest sympathy and condolence," or "With deepest sympathy and regret," or "With kindest love and sympathy." These cards should be sent by mail. In this they differ from cards of inquiry left during illness. Cards to inquire after an invalid or one who is dangerously ill should be left in person when possible, thus affording an opportunity to the one inquiring to4earn how the invalid is progressing and whether there is cause for anxiety or not. By this means the one calling is enabled to judge whether it is necessary to repeat the call of inquiry at an early date or whether it may be postponed for a few days. Grave illness would necessitate the one being done and progress toward recovery would render postponment of the call advisable. The usual words written at the top of cards to inquire are "With kind inquiries.'' or "To inquire," as the case may be. When the one inquired after is a married lady, and the inquirer also is married, the two cards should be left, one of the wife's and one of the husband's. When notes of sympathy are written it should be before the funeral takes place, if possible, but where this cannot be accomplished, then the notes should be written as soon after as possible. Cards of condolence should be sent in a similar who desire to condole are aware of the bereavement, and as a rule these cards are very widely sent, perhaps because it is often found difficult to write appropriate notes of condolence, or notes that are altogether satisfactory to the writers, who are " often inclined to think they have said too little or too much and wish that their notes of condolence were other than they were. Those but slightly acquainted are often in doubt as to whether their knowledge of the one in sorrow is sufficient to justify them in sending cards of sympathy on hearing of a bereavement. It should be understood that, according to etiquette, those who are on calling terms are expected to rooocnize sorrowful events which hap pen to their neighbors by sending cards of sympathy and condolence as soon as aware of the bereavemet. To hesitate in offering this kindly tribute is, we regret to say, rather general among those who are inclined to doubt whether sympathy thus offered will be acceptable to those who know so little of each other, but it may be taken as a general rule that sympathy is always appreciated by those in sorrow from whoever it is offered, whether by slight acquaintances or friends, and, moreover, etiquette is on the side of fulfilling this social obligation, and "I ought to have called, I know, but I did not do so because I thought my call might not be desired," is not an unusual lament on the part of those who have been somewhat remiss toward their neighbors in their hour of sorrow. Even between friends of long standing it is not always possible to do the most courteous thing. For Instance, letters are perhaps received from a number of friends who sympathize greatly in the bereavement that has taken place. They are read as soon as the one feels equal to doing so and then put on one side to be re-read and duly answered. TRICKS OF THE TRADER8 Some of Them are Enough to Deceive the Veterinary Doctor. Buying a horse from an honest, trustworthy person is all right; but the majority of horses are purchased from dealers, and not a few of the latter are up to "the tricks of the trade." The pian who knows nothing about a horse must rely upon the dealer's word, which in a great many cases has been the cause of a bad bargain. It is therefore well that a little knowledge be acquired before the step is taken. These tricks as practiced by dealers are many. A horse is made to appear young by giving a stimulating dose. The process of filling up the depressions over an old horse's eye is another matter that requires the art of an adapt. This is termed "fluffing the glims." The skin over the cavity is punctured, and the jockey then fills It with air from his mouth; the aperture closes, and the brow becomes as smooth as that of any young horse. Jockeys go so far sometimes as to paint a horse all over if his color is bad; and dyeing in spots for the purpose of producing matched teams is a common practice. This is a clever trick and not easily detected. The white hairs which appear about the head and eyes of aged animals are frequently pulled out. Horses, too, are doped to produce the appearance of flesh. Dealers frequently endeavor to pass ofT a glandered horse upon an unwary customer by stimulating the nostrils until the animal has snorted away all the matter lying in them, and then by injections of an astringent nature produce a temporary suppression of the discharge. But of all the means Dy wnicn me dealer carries on his trade there, are none so much relied on or so effectively as bold and ingenious lying. This is his great resource. It furnishes history, pedigree and warranty. Should there be blemishes on the horse, they can be easily explained away by plausible lies. If the horse is lame, it arises from a slight sprain, bad shoeing, or other easily remedied cause; if he stumbles it is because he has been illshod; if he balks, the harness is on wrong, or the horse has an attack of some acute complaint arising from over-feeding, over-driving, or It comes of bad handling; if he kicks, he is only playing; if he leers and bites, it is a sign of courage and vitality; if his coat "stares," he has just been brought In from the country, where he was running out during the winter; if he is thin and bare, there are a thousand explanations handy; while every good point is exaggerated and held up with art and eloquence. Now the above applies almost wholly to the jockeys or dealers who travel about selling animals?men with no reputation. The safest man to purchase from is the reliable and long-established dealer, who has built up on nJnAinlAS Un nnt Anlv TX7? T"1 tfl nun est yi uici^ico. aav iiuw v/n.j ??m..? to sell you, but he wants to make your bargain so satisfactory that you will tell others about his fairness. Owing to the fact the horse is valuable only so far as it is capable of performing a certain amount of work, it is desirable that soundness should be one of the first qualifications in the animal to be purchased. Now the average man is prone to pride himself on his knowledge of the horse, and if he purchases a horse from a neighbor, and the neighbor is honest, the deal is apt to be satisfactory to both parties; but let the same man purchase from some professional horse sharper and he will often find his store of horse sense considerably augmented within a day or two after getting his purchase home. The fact of the matter is that even few veterinarians are able to in all cases detect some forms of unsoundness in the horse. It is the purpose of this article to offer some hints that may be of assistance to those who do not "know it all" when it is necessary for them to rely on their own judgment as to the soundness of some particular animal. We will assume that the horse to be examined is sound externally, that is, free of curbs, spavin, splints, ringbones, quarter cracks, bad eye sight, etc., and is to all appearances not lame. A superficial examination of this kind is all that is usually made, and that, too. under conditions often most favorable to the animal in question, it usually having been under motion for some time before the examination takes place. When such is the case, certain (leiecis, SUCH HS CCI'Ullll i"linn \JL lamv ness, are liable to be overlooked, as the lameness disappears with exercise. In all cases the horse to be examined should be tied in a well-lighted stall for at least one hour before moved out for inspection. During the time the animal is in the stable no one should be permitted to go near it. Observation during this time will often reveal certain defects, and the hour's rest gives ample time for the horse to cool out. Two things to watch for while the horse is in the stall are crib-biting and "weaving," the latter a form of chorea evidence only in the stable while the horse is not excited by the presence of owner or groom. The term "weaving" is applied to this affection from the resemblance to the j I motions of the weaver; the subject | rolls with a swavering motion from one front foot to the other. When the horse is to be taken out have an attendant back it out of the stall, the examiner standing behind it and noting if there are any symptoms of string halt, for in backing out of a stall or turning suddenly around is the surest method of detecting this defect, and horses will show it under such conditions that never at any other time show the least symptoms of it. The horse now being cool and in a natural condition, if there is any chronic lamei ness it is liable to show If trotted off | to the halter before the horse has time to warm out of it by walking. The examination of the teeth is something that should not be overlooked when examining for soundness. Good molars are about as essential as good feet It is a common saying, "No foot no horse," and it might be added that if a horse has bad teeth it will not be a good horse for long. After all other examinations have been made there remains the test for soundness of wind. The two moat common ailments of this kind are heaves and roaring. Many dishonest dealers have become adepts in the matter of disguising or so palliating these defects In the horse that we have known professional buyers to buy horses badly affected with the heaves. A sharp gallop of from 100 to 200 yards will usually reveal whether or not the animal is a roar, but other methods are sometimes necessary as a test for heaves. Certain drugB and modes of feeling will be detected In only one manner, namely, "coughing" the animal. The cough of heaves is characteristic, and if the horse has been prepared to pass inspection if it be forced to cough the affection can be easily detected if present. In making this test, stand at one side and wth the hand grasp firmly the larynx (or throat), pressing it firmly, while the head is left free, and a cough will be the result, either a natural and healthy cough or the characteristic cough of heaves. Examination for soundness is reaJly the duty of the veterinarian, but the above hints are, as we said before, for the use of the average purchaser, and if they prove of assistance when professional aid is not to be had, then our ODject in oneryig uiem ntuj ueen u.itained.?Philadelphia Record. FRANCIS JOSEPH A Short Sketch of the Emperor of the Austrian*. The oldest monarch in the world, belonging: to the oldest reigning house, has just celebrated his 86th birthday. Francis Joseph was born on August 18, 1830, when Andrew Jackson was serving his first term as president of the United States. As a boy of 18 he exclaimed, "Goodbye, my youth!" and was crowned emperor of Austria, so long ago as when Polk was president, and the Mexican war was coming to its conclusion. In 1867 the dual constitution was adopted, and the young man of 37 became king of Hungary, 1 and then Andrew Johnson was in the midst of his term. This country has : had twenty-eight presidents, and Francis Joseph has lived through the terms of all but six of them, and his reign has covered the administrations of all but ten. He is older than Victoria was when she died and has reigned longer. Louis XIV reigned nominally over France for 72 years, but he began as a child of 6. The first Hapsburg emperor dates i back to 1273, and for 1,000 years the j house has been called "a plaything of ] misfortune." The present emperor < came to the throne by abdication and * entered upon a legacy of hatred and j suspicion. His favorite brother, Max imilian, was shot in Mexico; the Em- 1 press Carlotta survives him as a luna- ( tic; the Archduke Ladislaus was shot in the hunting field; the Archduke Johann was drowned; the Crown Prince Rudolph died in the tragedy of yerling; the Empress Elizabeth, his own queen, was assassinated, and his sister was burned to death in the charity bazar fire in Paris. His de- I feats at Solfernlo and Megenta lost ' Francis Joseph the province of Lombardy, and his defeat at Sadowa cost J him his prestige of Venetia. And fin- ] ally the crime which precipitated the I present war was the assassination of the heir apparent and his wife at Sar- ' ajevo In June, 1914. Francis Joseph will be held to be J one of the most remarkable men of | history. Not gifted with genius he : has acquired a rare quality of wisdom 1 which has helped him through many a critical epoch. He has ruled an enormous territory, with seven distinct people and several separate kingdoms ana parts or Kingdoms ana the Hungarians, Slavonians, Czechs, j Germans, and the rest, have been held ( together by a single tie, allegiance to the house of Hapsburg. Even Victoria occupied no higher place in the affections of her united people. The 1 personal popularity of Francis Joseph | has proved again and again to be stronger than the elements tending to 1 disrupt the empire. This wonderful old man has kept his health by a life of scrupulous regularity and temperlnce.?Boston Herald. j ? ? ( Hit Mistake. He moved up to the city ' When he'd made his little pile; Built a house and had a garden, ] Dressed his girls in city style; He read the city papers. < And ate the city food; His wife joined half a dozen clubs, , His boy became a dude; But he left his religion in the country. ' He took a dab at politics, I 1 lie I'll) IVII1U, U1 CUUIDC, He bought a high-powered auto; , It was faster than the horse.

And he laughed at Sunday laws, While his boys went to the mischief, And his girls were lost?because 1 He had left his religion in the country. And when he took his journey To the place where all men stand, He walked up to the Golden Gate As though he owned the land. "I know you're from the city;" Said St. Peter with a sigh; "And I'm sorry I must tell you i This is once you can't get by. For you've left your religion in the country." ?Rev. Geo. S.

Where It Is desired to discontinue a subscription before the close of the contest, the Clubmaker may do so by paying the amount due at the time of such discontinuance. Wlien a subscription lias been paid in full, It cannot be discontinued.

The Clubmaker who returns names must pay for them. Clubmakers who try to return and pay for names already regularly returned by others will be called down, especially if there is evidence of an understanding between the Clubmakers. This Is not for the protection of the publishers; but as a guarantee of the fairness of the competition. Any and all Clubmakers will have the right to Get Subscribers Wherever They Can. It is not necessary that all the names shall go to the same postoffice. The fact that a name was returned on a certain club last year does not give that Clubmaker a right to return it this year. All subscriptions must be forwarded to us at the expense of those sending them, and we will be responsible for the safe transmission of money only when it is sent by Draft, Registered Letter, Express or Postofflce Money Order. In sending the names, Always give correct names or initials, and present postofflce address, and if possible say whether the subscribers are NOW taking the paper.

After the close of the contest on SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1916, at 6 p. m., the price of a year's subscription will be $2.00, unless New Clubs are formed. IT'S SO 0^^F mm w SHERS - SOUTH CAROLINA
