"They had a quarrel as to whose top was the best. They seemed to think that spinning tops is a most important matter. Were boys brought up right they'd have more sense." "1 know of nothing more important in this world than spinning tops," said the star boarder. "I do not say that spinning tops is important,but nothing else is more important. Nothing makes any difference, my dear Mrs Jiggers. Life would be so much happier if we could only realize at the beginning that the tail ahmild ho normittpd to CTO with the hide. . I look around me as I pursue my daily walks and see men with sad eyes and furrowed faces, getting no joy whatever out of life. They think they are doing important work in , the world, but they are merely spinning tops. "The President of the United States sits in gloomy grandeur in his; magnificent apartments worrying over one thing or another. One day ; it's a threatening war with a strong nation, and another day it's the tar- j iff, and the third day it's something! else. And these things don't make any difference, Mrs Jiggers.

"As J was passing Bindernagle's house this evening I heard the old man lecturing his son,after dressing him down wilh a buggy-whip. "If you do not mend your evil ways,' I heard him say, 'you'll land in jail yet.' It was fearfully sultry, and the sweat was streaming off Bindernagle. he had worked so hard with that buggy-whip. What was the use, Mrs Jiggers? What difference does it make whether the son goes to jail or not? Some of the best men in history spent many years in jail. John Bunyan, Walter Raleigh and many other great men were in the cooler. Do we think any the less of them for it? No,we admire them all the more. Madam Roland and Lafayette were in jail. Yet they were great people. It therefore seems absurd for parents to worry about their children going to jail.

He can just pro around showing the calloused places on his hands and tell people he's a candidate for office, and they'll all vote for him. It should be possible to attain calloused hands without working for them. Chemistry should solve this problem, but chemistry, like everything else, is a false alarm. "Of course a man may run for office on the calloused hands platform.but in the last analysis running for office is as useless as anything else.

"The only sane thing a man can do is to keep out of politics altogether, and there isn't much sense in that, eitherj when you come to think of it, for everybody will abuse you, saying you evade your responsibilities and are recreant to your trust,and it will affect your standoff at the stores, which is the only thing that really makes a difference. So kindly pass the cream, my dear Mrs Jijjgers." 'Try water instead," replied the landlady.

Dog days, so called, began last ; Thursday, July 3. Also the annual query: Why "dog" days? The name goes back to a mistaken notion of the Romans. The great heat of the month that Mark Antony decreed should be called July in honor of Julius Caesar started a superstition that accompanying discomfort, disease and disasters were some how connected with the fact that the star Canicula ("Little Dog") between certain dates at that season rose and set with the sun. The Romans accordingly gave the name dog days to the period between July 3 and August il, and abused them cordially in speech and writing. That the dog star had nothing to do with the case is proved by the fact that with the subsequent changes in the heavenly procession the star does not in our time rise in coincidence with the sun until the end of August, while the weather from J uly 3 to August 11 is pretty much what it always has been.

Testimony of Ilvgstree Citizens. i When a Kingstree citizen comes to the front, telling his friends and neighbors of his experience, you can rely on his sincerity. The statements of people residing in faraway places do not command your confidence. Home endorsement is the kind that backs Doan's Kidney Pills. Such testimony is convincing. Investigation proves it true. Below is a statement of a Kingstree resident. No stronger proof of merit can be had. Mrs P D Epps, Kelly St, Kingstree, S C,.says: "I suffered from an attack of kidney complaint and had lame and aching back. I used Doan's Kidney Pills and they so completely relieved me that I have not had any need of a kidney medicine since. I cheerfully recommend this fine remedy in return for what it has done for me."
