For some time he ha9 almost daily been carrying to his master pennies and nickels, and an occasional large piece of silver, that he had found in the street. On two occasions he has found bills, one of $2 and one of Si. ) But he has topped all previous 9 f ft f Imo tt* r\ ! l\rt fin4ir>? ft OLU1U VCLUCUIC5 IU19 uv auuiug a check for $125 and recognizing its value, and his proud master now believes the animal's money finding capacity is unlimited. He expects him to briDg home bonds and securities at the rate he is progressing. Clark was out walking the other day when the dog dashed up to him and laid a slip of paper at bis feet, / barking joyously. Clark paid no attention to it and walked on. The I dog again laid it at his feet and barked. Clark still paid no attention, and the third time the dog dashed in front of him, placed the wet and dirty piece of paper at bis feet and seized his trousers. This time Clark picked up the paper, whiie m rl Uln 1 r\?* Kn Unvbtrt ?US UU^ BUU *T CU UIO JUJ UJU ainiug and wagging bis tail furiously. Clark found it was a check for. $125, made out to C. D. Simpson, of Scranton. He called up M. Simpson by telephone. The latter said be had been visiting friends the day before on the street where the dog found .the check, but he had no idea where he bad lost it. Some Day. Some day the watchers will move silently about your home. The sha* 1 dows will lengthen in the twilight of vour departing day. Your arms will reach up to encircle some neck in a > last embrace. Your eyes will look up to catch the last tender message ?unspoken because the heart is 1 breaking. The. heart that has served you so well will send out its life cur- j rents with a feeble flutter. Lips, al- s ways rich with words of love, will j stiffen into BileDce beneath the part- f ing kiee! And ther!?Arms will be ^ folded over the quiet heart! Loving Angers, in their last tender ministry, * will press the lids over the sightless * eyes! The one that loves you j best will press a last ki98 upon the yallid lips and then seal them for the burial! What then? "The ^ spirit will return to God who gave it?1' What then? Brother, Bister, how will you meet your God* Our Da3?7 Lands. ? New York Sun. h The rich meadow land of South li Carolina and the Bermuda grass d grown there are peculiarly well r< adapted to milk production, and the ? game applies to a considerable portion of Georgia. All that seems to c< be required is mere experience in ei the dairy business to turn theee ad- t( vantages to account. It appears p rather a startling innovation to con- ?{ template, but it may very well be in rc the cards that at do remote date the a source will become a very important H source of the country's dairy pro- r ducts. "] Biver NavigationColumbia may get "The City of Fayettsville" for river work. Negotiationn are now on foot for that magnificient steamer, and a repre- *? sentative of the company from Wil L V miogton will come to Columbia and j confer with the boat committer. A j ql telegram was received from W. S. pj Cook, the president of the Merchant? \ Ti and Farmers Steamship Company, j of Fayetteville and Wilmington, j offering the boat, provided satisfact- j tL ory arrangements can be made for !.j its running on the same commission ; fo as that given Mr. T. D. Love. One ! a11 _ ? ... I Wt of the company s representatives will w, be here and the whole matter dis- j mi cussed at the next meeting. | The "City of Fayetteville" is a j j steamer of 150 tons and valued at { im $23,000. She is a stern wheeler and j ^ has elegant passenger accommoda- I ue tiocs. There is a search light attach- sts ment which will enable the boat to ou run at night as well as in the day, a ,{r decided advantage over the "High | lander/' whica was always tied up ul night. The negotiations for the ''Koifc/ which now runs between Grabamviile aad Conway, had to be dropped, as the bout which was to have taken the place of the ' Rath" was afterward out of commission and the '"Ruth'' could Lot leave the regular run.

GET CLOSE TO THINGS. the Experienced Shopper"* Advice to the Quiet Woman. The modest, unassuming woman had been trying for some lime to get the Attention of a clerk, but they all seemed to be busy, and she had not the aggressiveness to crowd in and grab one. The experienced shopper, having completed her purchases, had time to give a little sympathy to the quiet one. "Do you want to buy something?'' she asked. "Yes," was the reply, "if I could only get the attention of the clerk." "Oh. that's easy!" asserted the experienced one. "Just do as I say." "But they're all so much more strenuous than I am," pleaded the quiet one. "I'd rather go without than be as unwomanly and disagreeable as some of the women are. I really can't fight for attention, you know." "Not at all necessary," explained the experienced shopper. "Do you see that tray of trinkets over there?" "Yes." "Go over and stand by it and pick up a few of them for closer examination. Put th_zi back, of course, but just paw the collection over without any effort to get hold of a clerk. Reach out for anything you see, as if you were more interested in what's on the counter thai? in what s behind it. "I don't see what good that's going to do.*' "Try it and you'll find out." The quiet woman did as directed, and within two minutes a floorwalker was sit her elbow. "Do you want anything?" he asked politely. She said she did, and he made it his business to got a clerk to wait on her. "I told yon so." whispered the experienced shopper. "Sometimes it isn't locessary to touch a thing. If you just :how a desire to get close to tilings hat are easily carried away they'll :ake you for a shoplifter every time md get a clerk for you so that you von't have any excuse for hanging iround." The quiet woman gasped and felt milty all the rest of the time she was n the store, but she had to admit that he had learned something about practical shopping.?Brooklyn Eagle. HE COULDN'T FORGET. Phe Surprise He Got on HIji Thirtystccond Birthday. "I'll never forget my thirty-second jrthday in New York," said an old esident meditatively. "Was it a joyful one?" asked the ouug man who was lounging about be club as if time hung heavy on his ands. "Joyful!" exclaimed the old resident. That's no name for it at all. It was ownright lively. I think my wife *alizod afterward that she rather verdid the matter." "Tried to surprise you. did she?" "She not only tried to, but she suc?eded. You see. she always was an nthusiast in everything she under>ok." 1 "Bankrupted you in getting: you 1 resents. I suppose," suggested the < aung man. "Well, not exactly," returned the old < >sident reflectively, "hut her presents line very uear bankrupting me later, 'owever, they are a good deal of com- 1 >rt to me now, so that I can't say I gret it." "Now!" ejaculated the young man. Do you mean to say that you still ( lve them?" t "Certainly." ( "And how long ago was this thirty- ( cond birthday?" "Twenty years ago." ] "Twenty years! Heavens! That's a ng time to keep a birthday present." "Two of them," corrected the old sident quietly. ^ "May 1 ask what they were?" in- j lired the young man after a pause. "Certainly. Twins?both girls," re- 1 ied the old resident. ? New York ^ mes.
