Monkeys Like Scrapping.
; "Monkeys are in a class by them
rse?ves," said the circus man. "If one
of them has red hair he is sure to be
a dandy scrapper. The best fighter Is
always the leader. They hang togeth
er aud bow and scrape before the boss
just like a good many people. Mon
keys with red faces and flat heads will
.whip the life out of those smaller than
they are, but will run like the wind
when it comes to an even break. A
monkey riot Is a funny spectacle. Even
-.pi the same cage you will find groups
herded together as If there was some
class distinction and the lines were
drawn, tightly. If two of the big ones
come together in a row the others gen
wall y stand off and let them have it
oct but If any of the little ones get to
.crapping then the father and mother
.re apt to mix In, and the next step is
. general row. We separate them by
turning on the hose and punish them
bf locking np the den so that they can
not get any peanuts from the crowd
and hold back their meals. This plan
jots them on their good behavior for
twhile at least The monkey likes to
?ai and likes to be noticed."

A Mode! Hotel "Boots."
It was in a Dublin hotel, and as I
closed the bedroom door, says a writer
In the Manchester Guardian. I noticed
that the end of one of ray boot laces
was inside tho room, the boot to which
It was attached having been placed as
usual outside. When 1 awoke next
morning the boot lace end was still
there, and I opened the door expecting
to find that the boots had not been
cleaned, but I was wrong. A very
cavc-rul hotel servant, a very model
among ''boots." had found the lace
tightly gripped by the door and rather
thau disturb me had carefully removed
it from the Ince holes and can lcd
away the boot. Pre? ntly I heard a
quiet noise outside the door. The
model boots had brought my boots
back again and was industriously re
lacing that one which he had unlaced.
Cheese In the Middle Ages.
Cheese must have been a rather dear
or scarce article of food in 1502, for it
is recorded in the "Black Books" of
the Honorable Socieiy of Lincoln's Inn
that nt Easter terra. . 1502. it was
"agreed by the governors and bench
ers this term that if any one of the so
ciety shall hereafter cut cheese im
.moderately at the time of dinner or
?upper or shall give cheese to any
servant or to any other or shall carry
it away from the table at any time he
shall pay 4 pence for each offense.
The butlers of the sociot" shall pre
sent such defaulters weekly under pain
of expulsion from oifice."-Law Times.
Her Test.
"When a young man proposes you
should always be careful and test his
ldve," cautioned the conservative chap
eron.
"But I go one better, auntie," twit
tered the pretty girl. "Do you see this
tiny bottle?"
"Yes. Does it contain perfume?"
"No; it contains acid. I test the en
gagement ring."
Not Very Funny.
"I did my best to be entertaining,"
said the young man in a voice of sor
row.
"Did you succeed?"
Tm afraid not I recited Hamlet's
soliloquy. She looked at me reproach
fully for several seconds and then ex
claimed, "I don't think that's very
funny !"-London Telegraph.
His Conscience.
"He's forever prating about what his
conscience tells him. What does his
conscience tell him. anyway?"
"Apparently it usually tells him what
awful sinners his ueighbors are."

THE ONE GREAT GATHERING
OF SOUTH CAROLINIANS
The Stale Fair This Year-October
20 to 30.
The fortieth annual State Fair will
be held at Columbia this year October
26-30, and it gives promise to be the
greatest State Fair ever held. No mat
ter how bad the crops or how hard the
times, everybody goes to the State Fair
at Columbia, lt has been the custom
now for nearly half a century, and it
will ever continue so with crowds in
:reasing each year.
The State Fair is the one time of the
rear that work can be put down and
jveryone have a good time for a few
lays. Old acquaintances and relatives
meet at the State Fair if they are not
fortunate enough to meet elsewhere
luring tho year. Friends meet friends
ind college men meet their college
nates and renew friendships with good
stories of the good times of the past.
This year the fair holds even more
:han that for South Carolinians. It
will be made up of new exhibits that
will teach the farmers new methods
md improvements that mean money to
?very one of them.
The races will be the best ever seen
n the South. This being the first year
;hat the Fair Association has entered
:he Virginia-Carolina Circuit. The
stake races will b:.ng many of the
:ountry's very finest racers. The two
football games will draw thousands of
enthusiastic "rooters" from both the
Carolinas.
Columbia is better fitted to take care
if her guests than ever before, with
nore hotel accommodations. The rail
roads will all put on special rates, as
jsual. President John G. Mobley, of
the Fair Association, has worked hard
to get everything in ship-shape, and he
predicts the largest crowd in the hls
l>iry of the fair.
