BADLY HACKED?DISAPPOINTED AND SURPRISED.
The R. F. 1). carriers went out on the Uh,
on their usual rounds, but were badly hacked
and greatly disappointed, as they were not
"ca.led off."
If there Ik any one class more than another
who should have this national holiday, it
seems to us it should be employees of the U.'
S. government, for it seems to us to be on regular
duty this day would be in violation of i
constitutional laws, for If It is set apart hbr
national holiday then it should be so observed
by all classes. We ero indebted to I'ncle i
Sam for the day last year, hot thin time he
slipped up, and either forgot, or Ignored his
faithful little band or K F. D.'a In Abbeville,
but it may be he Is golr.,; to surprise us with
a holiday for a week or t vo this summer, and
let our pay go on, and<-ur substitutes take
our places at regular pa>*. Wall this would
almost tempt us to vote for him. It is too
good to think about as it will only enter into
our dreams.
Route No. 8 seemed deserted an:J looked as
if everybody had gone avay to "celebrate"
the fourth?houses closed and but few at
work.
Our patrons uttered many kind expressions
as to our having to ride the 4th, and said they
were not looking for us, and really thought
we should have had the day. and our
thoughts ran in the same channel.
IN AND ABOUT THE CITY.
Sunday hours were observed at the post office
on the -itb, and our merchants opened
their hearts half way and closed their stores
from one o'clock p. m. Many other towns
and.cities close all day.
Several barbecues were on and lovers of
"pot bash" were in the swim. Candidates, of
course, were "doing about," as politics?JNa
tioual, County and Stare- are getting almost
as hot as the Russo-Japanese war. Let tbeui
go ahead as there's always room at the top.
IN THE SOCIAL WORLD.
Mies Runette Turner entertained most delightfully
last Tuesday evening In honor of

RELIGIOUS SERVICES. I
On last Sunday morning Rev. P. B. Wells ol
the Methodist church selected for his subject
"The importance of faithfulness lu little
things," taken from St. Matthews gospel, 16
and 10. He showed by many timely aud apt
Illustrations that the "little things" of life
* were not the great things, but that the "great
things of life" were made up of the "little
things," all of which made up and sealed our
destiny at the last day. He spoke of Christ's
life and said, "He only raised three from the
dead, calmed the wlndB, and walked on the
waves once, while his wbole life was taken up
la tbe "little things" of life. In conclusion
to* prayed that all might be careful of, and
ftltaful In tbe "little things of life."
fh* singing was good and was done by
Cochran and \V. E. Hill, a duet choir.
"Ib? selections on tbe organ by tbe organist
were \erp aweet and beautifully rendered.

HOW TO ACT AT A HOTEL. "
Best Plan of ncRlHterlnpr nn?l Getting
Wants Attended To.
A man accompanied by his wife
should not drag her iuto the crowd j
that hangs around the office, as two- ;
thirds of them do. He should lirst take j
her to the parlors, leave her there aud j
go to the office alone. When he has j
registered and been assigned a room, J
he should go and get her.
When the hoy has shown them the j
room, the guest should not hesitate to ;
say so If he does not like it. There are j
doubtless others empty, and it is the j
clerk's place to try to ploa.se.
Another great blunder is not to ask j
the price of the room before looking at
It Many a man feels reluctant to do
this, but it is purely business. If the j
price does not suit, he can kick, but |
there is no use complaining after the i
bill is sent in and saying that he has |
been overoharged, that he has been
there before aud always had a lower
rate and all the many things that a
man Is apt to think about wnen ne is
ready to leave.
When a woman is alone, she should
not go to the office. All that is necessary
is to take a seat in the parlor and
send her card to the clerk, stating
whether she wants a bathroom or not
and exactly the kind of accommodations
she wants.
She should frankly say if she wishes
a quiet, room, a small room, au inexpensive
room tor any preference she
may have.
Despite all the printed warnings on
hotel walls it Is almost impossible to
get women to send their valuables to
the office safe. Why? It is a mastery.
But the owners prefer, as a rule, to
take the chances. Then, if a loss occurs,
they blame not their own carelessness,
but the hotel management.
Another thing: Trunks should be
kept locked. Every hotel tries to got
honest help. No hotel can guarantee
that all its employees are or always
will be proof against temptation. Every
hotel asks Its patrons not to tempt
them.
How to Make Cocoa Cordial.
One-half teaspoonful of Dutch cocoa,
some boiling water, two blocks of loaf
sugar and two tablespooufuls of port
wine. i'ui iue cuuua uun ou^ui ?uw
china cup and pour directly upon tbem
some boiling water and add the wine,
making in all the usual amount called
a cupful. Serve at once. This is au
excellent drink for those who are
chilled or exhausted or to take after a
bath.
Hovr to Make Squirrel Pie.
Six squirrels, a quarter of a pound of
salt pork and a pint of oysters. Cut tbe
squirrel into meat joints and put into
a stewpan with water enough to cover
them. Add the pork, cut into slices,
and half a medium sized onion. Cover
close and simmer until tender. When
done, take up the pieces of squirrel,
strain the gravy and set both away to
get cold. Line the sides of a deep pie
dish with a good paste, put a little
gravy in the bottom of the dish, then a
layer of squirrel and a few oysters and
some of the oyster liquor. Sprinkle
with flour, season with salt, pepper
and a little inace and cover with bits
of butter. Repeat until the dish is full.
Cover with paste, cut a hole in the
center and bake half an hour.
How to Decorate the Table.
A charming dinner table arrangement
is of La France roses and maidenhair
ferns, with striped grass. A
wavy line is formed down the middle
of the table of the ferns and grass, and
the roses are deftly intermingled Ln
the curves. Another pretty scheme is
of holly berries and leaves, with asparagus
fern. In the first case the
candle shades are pink, in the second
red.
How to Core For the Eyes.
"When the eyes ache, relieve them
by closing the lids for five or ten minutes.
When stinging and red through
crying, they should be bathed in rosewater
or wet a handkerchief with rosewater
and lay it over them for a few
minutes. If they are bloodshot, you
need more 6leep or have been sitting
Ln a draft If they have a burning
sensation, bathe them with hot water
to which a dash of witch hazel has
been added. If tho whites of the eyes
are yellow and the pupils dull, strict
attention should be Daid to diet.
How to Cook Hashed Clnnin.
Melt pat of butter in chafing dish;
then put in three dozen Little Neck
clams, hashed fine, and their juice.
Add a teaspoonful of chopped chives
and two of parsley. Cook over open
fire until it boils up twice, cover on;
thicken with bread crumbs, add two
tablespoonfuls of sherry, season to
taste and serve on buttered toast
How to Make Peppermint Cordial.
Peppermint cordial may be made at
any time of the year, for the chemist
always keeps the necessary preparation
of peppermint Put GO drops of
essential oil of peppermint on to three
or four lumps of sugar, pound it in a
stone mortar, with a tablespoonful of
brandy, till all is thoroughly mixed.
Add this to one quart of proof spirits
of wine and the same quantity of
white sugar sirup. Color the cordial
with beet root and you will have a
delicious sirup.
How to Clean Lamp*.
Soak lamp wicks in vinegar before
using them in a lamp. Wash smoke
stained chimneys in warm water and
soap and rub while wet with vinegar or
dry salt They can also be cleaned, as
may be globes on gas fixtures, in warm
water and soda and then in warm water
and ammonia.
How to Serve Oranges.
Cut seedless oranges in halves, take
out the little piece of white in the center
with a very sharp pointed knife and :
fill the cavity with sugar.

NKKVKOUS DYSPEPSIA CURED BY UVD
ALE'S STOMACH TABLETS.
Mr. It. E. Jones, buyer for Parker A Brldeet,
whose larue department stores are located at
nth and Penu. Ave. Washington. I). C., writes,
under date of April 14, '01. as follows: Last
February, one yn?r, while in New York on
business lor my house, I cuugbta severe cold,
which laid me up for several weeks and left
me weak and nerveous. I had little or no
appetite, and my digestion was very poor.
My physician could not get at the cause of
my t rouble, as my digestion seemed bo much
impaired. I decided to try Kydale's Stomach
Tablets, being assured by a friend, they were
a Ko<id dyspepsia medicine. After using them
for a few days, J becati to realize that I was
getting better, i gave up the doctor's nrescriptlon
and have ualned 20 pounds while
using two boxes of thesa tablets. I never felt
better in mv life, and accredit ltydale's Stom- ,,
qcIi Tabids with having cured me. I can *->
recomend them, .most heartily, to sull'erers
from nervous indigestion and general rundown
conditions of Ibe system. C. A. Mllford.

Little FolK?
A Tale With a Moral
Oh, Clarence, dear," cried Mrs. Rat,
"What have you found to eat?
I'm sure It must be something nice.
And know It must be sweet."
But Mr. Rat Just gruffly said,
? "You're right; It can't be beat!"
And never offered Mrs. Rat
A mouthful of the treat
He ate away the livelong day
And far Into the night.
. His better half she wept and begged
For just a little bite.
But Mr. Rat ate on until
The bag was empty quite.
Now comes the sequel, and I think
It really serves him right
"WHAT HATE YOU FOUND TO BAT?"
I The next day' he commenced to grow
And got both tall and fat.
By noon he was at least the size
Of any ordinary cat
3 At dinner time poor Clarence lay
Quite sick upon the mat,
His size more like an elephant
Than that of any rat
Now, sweet, forgiving Mrs. Rat,
So worried did she feel,
I She sought the paper bag from whlcl
He ate his hearty meal.
"The Magic Fertilizer!" she
Saw printed on the seal
And put her little brain to work
With courage and with zeaL
Bhe found a bag of alum, and
A lot she did apply,
And soon was well rewarded, for
While watching by and by
She saw him shrink to normal siie,
And, with a little sigh.
She gently murmured in his ear,
"I'm glad you didn't die."
MORAL.
If some new food you chance to find,
First try it on your neighbor;
It's apt to save you suffering
And others thought and labor.
