r rue Lexington Dispatch. f Wednesday. November 20.1901. "Wise and Otherwise. Usually the newest thiDg in flannels is 3 baby. kThe virtues a woman boasts of she seldom possesses. ? - i r jl r i Street corners are me turmag H points in many lives.

T. Mclutyre, St. Paut, Minn., who has been troubled with a disk ordered stomach, says, "ChamberI Iain's Stomach and Liver Tablets do J ine more good than anything I have ever taken." For sale by J. E. Kaufmann. When a married womaD sits for a v portrait her hnsband has to stand for it. The Texas steer is a pretty tougti customer, especially when you meet him in a cheap restaurant. A pretty girl who wears a perpetual smile may be jolly, but the monotony is something fierce. Deeds rather than words prove an old mane love for a youn? girl?especially deeds for real estate. If a girl omits pickels from the lunch she puts up when a young man escorts her to a picnic, his case is hopeless. More people spend their time in wonderiDg why they are not loved than in trying to make themselves lovable. Many a fool man who is always Bavins that life isn't worth liviner con linues to do business at the old stand just the same way. After reading an account of a man v who had fasted forty days, an Irishman said he would rather starve than fast for a living. Young man, if you have a sister love and cherish her: if you haven't then borrow some other fellow's sister. "Last winter an infant child of mine had croup in a violent form," says Elder John \v. Rogers, a Christian Evangelist, of Filly, Mo. "I gave ber a few doses of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and in a short time all danger was past and tbe j child recovered." This remedy not : only cures croup, but when given as I soon as tbe first symptoms appear. | will prevent tbe attack. It contains ! no opium or other harmful substance | and may be given as confidently to a i baby as to an adult. For sale by J. E. Kaufmann.

According to mail advices received j from Manila by the Empress of China Judge O'Xei), an American lawyer, is engaged in endeavoring to j secuie the relea-e of Aguinaldo by habeas corpus proceedings. Washington, November 18 ?While n 7 i the war department has not been ad- ! vised of the reported step to obtain the release of Aguinaldo from captivity, through writ of habeas corpus, j they were prepared for a move in ; that direction. A few weeks ago the j first application of this kiod was j made in the case of a military pi is- j enor, and as there was some indica- 1 tion of a disposition on the part of ' the Philippine commission to uphold . the right of habeas corpus in that case, the president was obliged to j cable instructions, both to the com- ; > ' mission and to Gen. Chaffee, the re- j ; suit of which was a practical denial ! ' of the writ. ; , As far as Aguinaldo is concerned j it is said that his captivity is only J nominal. The only evidence of it j consists in the appesrance by his side of an army officer when he walks about the town, for he is free to go j almost anywhere. Moreover, it is j s*id that this escort is perhaps necessary to p'otect Aguinaldo from ' attack, as he has been threatened by ! secret socities. Tfl CUFtf-S WHERE ALL ll'Sz FAILS.

Mrs. Hawser bad a curiosity* to know what "sut jieue is a max who disputes it." ill this meant, but she forbore to ask luostions. The cock's curiosity partook of trepidation. "I'll ask you. ma'am." she cautiously crhispered as she walked around on liptoe and glanced over her shouider, "if that is a ptrave they are dii'gin:^ our there?" "I don't think so," replied Mrs. Bowser. "Then is he borirp an oil well;"' "He can't he." "Is he digging for Captain Kidd's rolOV" "Hardlytbnt." "And it isn't a coal mine:" "No." "That's what scares i:k, ma'am. I've iliought c: this and thought of that and ?an't make it out at ail. and I do believe be'3 going to till the hole with water :md bring home a whale to play with during the winter." During dinner Mr. Bowser's face looked as profound as a pumpkin in i cornfield, and Mrs. Bowser with all tier chatter on neighborhood news failed to interest him. She bided her time, however, and when the proper moment arrived she carelessly queried: "Are you thinking of trying to grow fall and winter potatoes in that hole out there?" i lie looked at her in mingled contempt ami pity for a minute nrd then replied: | "Mrs. Bowse:, it is m>t exactly your i fault that ywi: were created a female, j and so I suppose I should not blame ! you for your lack <>(. brains. I can scarcely hope to make you understand me. but still 1 will make the attempt and at least satisfy your curiosity.

'But here is a man who disputes it." ] lie continued as he tapped his breast ; and swelled up with importance. "Yes. j I have not only dared to do it. but I ? hone to mo\e that it is a false theory. Indeed 1 have every hope 1 li:tt I shall ! be able l<: prove to the world before j daylight tomorrow morning chat this i magnetic current passes ihronali the earth frun east to west instead."

"I- I won't." she said, "out if yon ore going to sit by that hole all night you ought to sucl; a lemon at intervals: or you will get hoarseness." "Ilcavcns above, but suck a lemcrs at such a supreme seieutilic 1110 men.?!" be gasped at her. "Woman, don't run this thing into burlesque. If the world heard that I established inv new theory while sucking a 3 cent lemon. I'd l>c driven to suicide in a month. No; there will be no lemons or catnip tea or bread and butter with sugar on it. You let me alone and don't worry." From that hour to 10 o'clock Mr. Bowser was nervous and uneasy, as all men are when on the point of making a gre^t discovery, lie read tip on magnetic currents in the encyclopedia, and he got down his map of the world and figured out the countries an east and west current must pass through. He was in quite a nervous state when he finally started for the back yard, and the ccok whispered to Mrs. Bowser; "The dear man looks as if he was going to the demht's to have three tnntJi iinilfwl and his ?a\V broke." Mr. Dowser carried a chair with him. | and when he had placed it he attached what he called his circuit wire to tlie main ones and sat down with the end coiled about Ids hand. IIo was pale, but he was dignihed. lie was nervous, hut he was determined. "You are sure yen won't have a lemon?" asked Mrs. Bowser, who had followed him oui, with the eat tagging on behind. lie ^ave her a look of contempt and motioned her to bo gone. "lie's like my brother Patrick," said the cook as Mrs. Bowser returned to' the house. "Yon can never get Patrick to suck a lemon when he don't j know who's going to dodge around and hit him with a brickbat." At a quarter past 10 Mr. Dowser sat stitfly in liis chair waiting for a magnetic tremor. At half past lie was expecting one every minute. At 11 lie felt sleepy and wondered if the current was not taking a night off. At midnight two i>olicemen and a citizen entered the yard by the alley gate, and Mrs. IJowser. who was keepiug vigil from an upper.window, went down and joined them. Mr. ftowsor sat in his chair with his chin on his breast and his hat. fallen off. and he was fast asleep. The magnetic current was playing lag through the earth, but lie heeded it net. "Is he watching for cats or rats, ma'am?" softly asked one of the officers. "No: it's an experiment," she an- j swered. "With a new sort of burglar alarm?" 1 "I think so." "Then I hope it will prove a sueccss. I guess we'd better let hint sleep on.

County Bonds. 1 Edgefield, November 14.?The peo- j pie of Edgefield, Wise and Pickens townships especially are more hope- j ful in reference to being relieved from the enforcement at once of the 28 mill tax to pay the railroad bonds now doe. Attorney General Bellin- j ger has given an opinion to the pub- ; lie stating that the county treasurer j has no right according to statutes to ' collect any tax enforced by a manda- j mus from the United States court. The most feasible plan to adopt now is to have one of our members of the legislature in January next to intro- ; duce an act authorizing the county J commissioners to put on the market j i a new set of bonds and let the pro- j ceede ot tne.Donas go towaru payug i the holders of the old bcndf. Great i care is needed in issuing new bonds j so that the payment of them can be i consummated in 20 or 30 years so as j to hit the tsxpayere, now burdened ' with heavy taxes, lightly. It is to be hoped that by the next maturity they will be paid and settled forever. - ...
