They keep them at work all the time, never spend any money on them if they can possibly help it, and never allow thom to go away from homo on a visit or pleasure trip.

"Why, Virginia," her hostess had replied, "thc church will bc so crowded that nothing is moro un likely than ho should single out cither one of us." But thc girl's fears were r'-ali/.cd. As the great preacher left thc pul pit and passed down tho aisle, ex horting lirst this ono, then that ono, ho paused at thc pew where tho bishop's daughter was seated. "My dear child," he said earnestly, "are you a Christian ?" "N-no, sir," she replied, "I'm an ICpiseopalian."

Thc world would have lost n groa deal if Luther bad never married It- would have lost one of thc most beautiful pictures of homo life tba history has eyer painted. Thon was piety in that home. It was ? home of prayer and praise. Th< Bible was more than an ornament ot thc parlor table-it was tho dail; bread, in a spiritual sense, of Luther' household. Thc singing of hymm which played so prominent a part it spreading the Reformation doctrines was a daily occupation. Luthe believed in making melody wit! instrument, voice and heart, and hat a rather lively conviction that musi was tho best lash with which I drive thc devil out of tho hom< Thc picture beautifully represent this feature of his ho.-io life-a fen turo that should be more general! prevalent than it is. But one of thc rare beauties i Luther's character was absence c gloomy, long-faced piety.

An Abbeville teaohor who has chargo of a country school told us recently of a little boy in tho school who could not learn tho letter "g." Every other lottor in the alphabet was perfoctly plain to him, but ho could not learn to say "g." To mako it clear tho teacher asked tho little fellow what his father said when ho finished plow ing a furrow and wanted the mulo to turn round. The youngster an swered up brightly, "Why ho says, 'haw, daniii_you.' " ? He' Knew the sign. Rev. Dr. Poindexter S. Honsou, of Chicago, who has boon oalled to tho pastorate of the Ilauuon Place Baptist church in Brooklyn, ia well known as a Chautauqua lecturer, says an exchange One summer day when he was lecturing ho was introduood by Bishop Vincont. "Wo aro to havo a lceturo this ovening on 'Fools,' " said Bishop Vincont, "by ono" And then tho bishop paused. Tho audience roared. When tho laughter had subsided tho bishop continued, "-of tho wisest mon in Amorioa." Dr. Henson arose immediately and said : "I nm not half so big a fool as Bishop Vincont" And then thoro waa another whoop from tho audience. When tho laughter again quieted down Dr. Henson continued, "-would have you think." A Chinoso manuscript lately dis covered in tho Paris Library proves the startling faot that anaesthetics wore used in China 1,700 years ago. A certain concoction, it states, was given by the doctors before perform ing an operation, which rondorod tho patient unconscious. The anaes thetic was a simple preparation of hemp. When Mr. Spooner wo: the other evening the dod peotodly flew open while fumbling in hie pookot for his koy, and Mrs. Spooner bad her around his nook and had given a kiss on either eher'. ; then said cheerfully : "Let me help you off "with your overooat, dear.

MASTER CLARENCE CROSBY, CARRIER, ^r=-.-FOR-??X IOOI...THE KEOWEE COURIER...1901 "Man wants hut lit Mo hero below, Nor wants that little long," Tho niau who wrote that ought (o know lit! put tho thing down wrong. Whoever saw a man whoso wants wore tiny, little things? You never have-now have you? No?-and never will, by jings ! Why, even towns want lots of things, and not for just a while i've even heard it hinted that we want a big rock pile, Where worthless "coons" and white folks, loo, who into mischief stray Can just sit down and break up rock right through till Judgmont Day. Of course you know what we would want with all this rock and stufT We'd put it on our streets and walks ; they wouldn't bo so rough. Wc want those water-works to come we've hoard so much about ; A friend told nie the oi lier day lie guessed they're up the spout. But he don't know quito everything that's going on, you see, Vov they'll be here now very soon-a month or so-maybo. We want some big electric lights to turn night into day ; I do believe a first-class plant some dividends could pay. With water-works, electric lights and our newr public school We'd brand the chronic croaker as ?a pessimistic fool; The time has passed for pessimists to "rule the roost" up hore They've been displaced, ami men of sense are Riling up their sphere. Tim old-time "Shouting Methodists" are wanting something, too, (They're always wanting some old thing, but now tho)' want it now.) I've heard it, said they want a church, and want it built of brick ; That is, ol' course, some ol' them do, whilo others want-to kick ; l?uj they'll "come through" all right, 1 guess, or if they fall from graco They'll have to keep 011 worshipping in their accustomed placo. Now, don't you see Ufo man who wroto That couplet wrote it wrong? Man wants a mighty heap below, And wants it mighty long. I've talked enough of othors' wants ; I'll tell you of my own ; They're good big wants, i'm bold to say, but they're not overgrown ; I'm not a man, but I have wants as big as all out doors I want, the earth, .and it fenced in, and all its golden stores; I want, to live a good long while, and in a gay old whirl I'd like to have-(now don't get mad)-your pretty little girl. You soe I need a wife so bad-I'm lonely by myself; And it would be so nice to have the pretty little elf (Jo with me on my weekly rounds, and help me spread the news A girl is just the thing for that-of course you won't refuse; I'll be reid good to her, you know, and we won't bo much bdthor I 'in sure you'd like me ?ts a son ; I'd love to call you father.

Ho has, iu faot, ? good reason to bo apprehensive of tho result of an appeal to the Demo cratic primaries, for which ho is so clamorous. He does not ropresont that which tho progressive peoplo of his State aro learning to regard as conduoivo to tho welfare of tho industriel in which they seo tho promise of local progress and pros perity. South Carolina is becoming a manufacturing State with far reaching commercial aspirations. Even tho farmers, whom Mr. Till man has counted his lifo-long allies through* evil and good report, are beginning to doubt that the princi ples which ho represents aro in lino with their interests. In fact, it is not quito olear to them that consist ency to political shibboleths, which tho country has repudiated, will add ono balo to their annual cotton har vest or help to find a markot for a single bolt of the cloth mado from it. Tho boisterous, intolerant spirit of Tillman's self-assumed control of tho political conscience of tho peoplo of his State does not wear well with those who read aud think, and soarcoly bottor with those who learn from observation. It botter became a Governor whose political interest it was to array tho farming districts against thc cities and towns than a Senator who claims to represent [ both. Wo do not agree with Senator McLaurin on all points of economic policy, but it cannot havo escaped Senator Tillman's notice that ho re flects tho opinions of tho most influ ential elemont of the people of South Carolina moro correctly than they have been reflected by any represen tative of that State in tho Senate since Calhoun. Probably Tillman recognizes that | the surest way of breaking Senator McLaurin's growing influence is to goad him into some act of folly which will compromise him. Till man may count himself immune from injury as the reBult of anything ho can say or do. McLaurin is not, and tho greatest mistake he could make would bo to permit himsolf to bo again drawn into such a discussion as was started on Monday by his vindictive, but crafty, opponent.- [ Editorial in New York Times.
