AN UNEXPECTED ANSWER.
' Waal?er?hem !?children," began Col-j
onel Handy Polk, the well-known real-estate,
loan, and insurance agent of Oklahoma, who
had wandered iuto a Sundayschool, and been
invited by the superintendent to address the
children, "I didn't come yere with the expectation
of makin' a speech ; but now that
I've been called on, I'll say a few words on
the?er?ah?duties of honesty and?er?
truth. Honesty is the best policy. Alwers
be honest, children, and alwers be truthful.
As?er?Whal's-his-name trulysaid,an honest
man is the?er?er?noblest work of
God. And a truthful man is better?er?ah?
many sparrers. Alwers remember that, children.
If everybody was honest, what a different
world this would be ! But, alas! they
hain't. Instead, the generality of mankind
in?er?general is forever tryin' to git the
better of the?er?er?generality of mankind
in?er?ah?general, so to speak. From i
this we should learn?should learn, as it
were, to?er?be honest. But I'll tell you a
little story to sorter illustrate my meauin'.
ftnee on a time thar was a bov whose parents
were poor, but honest, and tried to raise him
up in the?er?way he should go. But he
wouldn't obey 'em, and seemed to take a delight
in doin' wrong. He began stealin'
little things when he was no higher than the
table, and 'peared to prefer to lie when the
truth would have done just as well, or even
better. He grew worse and worse as time
passed on, and by the time he had grown to
be a man he had become a regular out-andout
scoundrel. He made a business of swindling
lyin', and cheatin,' and seemed to
glory in his shame. And what do you suppose
became of him ? I ask you children,
where do you suppose he is at now?"
And the colonel's innocent hearers answered,
in one voice:
"He now stands before us!"
His Favorite Drink.?Dr. Sims was
one of the most prominent members of the
general assembly while he was there, and
was a gentleman of the qld-time Georgia
school. He was very fond of the society of
younger men than himself, and was always
good company wherever he was thrown,
telling jokes of the funniest variety wherever
he went, and making friends on every, side.
Those who where his colleagues in the legislature
remember very well the trip to Savau- i
nah, when the general assembly was invited
to that hospitable town to witness the stride
Savannah was making toward securing;
"deep water" in the port. Dr. Sims was
taken in tow by one of the most prominent
citizeus of Savannah, and taken to one of the
ntUr momltppg for iviint I
UiUIJ3 niUII? nuu lut viavi iuv?uvv?w .v. .?
the Savannah folks term "refreshments."
"Now," said the hospitable Savannahian,
"you can fiud every sort of liquid iu this
club you ever heard of in the shape of wines
and tempting driuks. There is not a thing
you can call for that will not be served you
promptly and up to the queen's taste."
"I'm afraid you haven't my favorite
drink," said Dr. Sims, dryly.
"Oh, anything in the world," said the Savannahian
; "you will find every braud,
every drink known to humun palate?champagne,
cocktail, fine sherry, oldest Maderia,!
finest whiskys?everything !"
"I repeat that I am afraid ray fastidious!
palate cannot be satisfied at your club," said
the doctor with even greater seriousness.
"Pray what can it be that you would I
have?" asked the geutlemau of Savannah.
* "A glass of plain water."
Sure enough it was not to be found in the
club.
A Mixed Prayer.?At the advanced age
of five, Murjorie developed an extraordinary
liking for prayers. She had been taught
not only "Now I lay me," but also the
Lord's Prayer, and then at her request a
cordicil had been added, praying that "papa
and mamma "and all my relations" might I
he protected during the night. She said the |
prayers just before going to bed, and in the
morning, and her mother often heard snatches
of them as the little girl went about her
doll's affairs during the day.
It was no doubt partly owing to this familiarity
with her prayer, but largely to drow
siness, that one night the sleepy little girl
electrified her listening mother l?y hastily
cutting short theLord's Prayer and ending
up the ceremony with, "Deliver me from
evil, and?all my relations."
Her father said she was a philosopher, hut
that she ought to have added relations-inlaw.
Another Kind of a Prodigal.?A
young lady who was recently staying at an
old farmhouse, had her curiosity excited by
an action of the lady of the house, who used
each night before retiring, to place a lamp in
one of the windows at thefrontof the house,
wnlch faced the only approach to the farm. |
One night her curiosity got the better of
her discretion, and she ventured to ask the1
old lady her reae*m for so doing, saying:
"I suppose you have a prodigal son away j
in some foreign land, and" you place a light j
there nightly so that if he ever returns he;
will see that he is not forgotten ?"
"Bless yer, no," replied the dame. "I !
ain't got no son away in distant lands ; but
I've got a prodigal husband down at his;
club in the village, and who would never |
find his way up the lane if it wasn't for that j
light."
A Boy's Philosophy.?One of the favorite |
winter games of the small boy who lives
along the Hudson is "jumping laddie-cakes."
This sport reaches its height just as the ice:
in the river is breaking up, and when the
great cakes go floating up and down with
the tide, a dozen or more youngsters may he
seen running from one cake to another, and
sometimes making really dangerous leaps.
One day a boy, apparently about nine
years old, was to be seen standing on a
cake which was rocking in a somewhat
alarming manner, and the little fellow was
crying in a frightened sort of way.
"What's the matter?" called a passer-by
from the shore.
And then came the sobbing answer: "I'm |
afraid diss cake'll turn over, an' if I get
drownded me mother'll lick me."
His Kindly Feelings.?The patient had j
been sick a long time and the doctor had
done his best, but in vain, and the end was !
approaching.
"If you have anything to say before go-!
ing," said the doctor, "it will be best for you I
to say it now."
"Well, doctor," replied the patient cheer- J
fully, "I have only the kindliest feelings for1
you, for I'm sure you wouldn't lose so good a !
customer as I've been if you could possibly .
prevent it."
Wanted a Grosser Boy.?Grocer?
What have you been doing in the cellar -o
long?
Grocer's Apprentice?I have been clean-'
iDg out the molasses measure. It was so,
clogged up that it didn't hold more than
half a quart.
Grocer?Oh, that's what you've been do""
ing ! Well, you take your hat and go home,
and tell your father to send you to the theological
school. You ain't fit for the grocery
business.
f@T She is the brown-eyed girl who works
in the telephone exchange, and lie is the
young man who is sometimes more energetic I
than courteous. "Hello, Central," he called, I
the other day, "this is the second time I
have called you. Have you been asleep?"
"Yes," she answered, sweetly. "I have, and i
I had such a strange dream ! I thought I
heard a yoice from the infernal regions, and
awoke just in time to hear you calling, j
What number?"
? ?
B&- "My young friend," said the million-1
aire, frowning, "you admit that you are
poor, and you know that my daughter is
very wealthy. Would you, a pauper, marry j
her, knowing her to be worth a million?"!
"Sir," saiil the young man, who was a person
of intense resolution, "my affection is
proof against such tests. I would marry i
your daughter if she were worth two mil-!
lion."
Defending Herself.?"Mamie," said
Mrs. Gazzam to her daughter, "I was shock- '
ed to hear you tell Miss Trotter that you
had turned some young men down. That's |
very reprehensible slang."
"Not in this case, mamma," replied the
maiden. "I was speaking of Mr. Page, and
it is quite proper to turn a page down."

Ax Arithmetical Paradox.?In an old
Hindoo manuscript was found this remurkable
decision of a dispute. Two travelers sat
[down to dinner; one had five loaves, the
[Other had three. A stranger passed by and
[desired permission to eat with them, which
they agreed to. The stranger dined, laid
down eight pieces, of money, and departed.
The proprietor of the five loaves took up five
pieces and left three for the other, who objected,
and claimed half. The case was
brought before the chief magistrate, who
gave the following judgment:
"Let the owner of the five loaves have
seven pieces of money, and the owuer of the
three loaves one."
Now, strange as this decision may appear
at first sight, it was perfectly just; for, suppose
the loaves to have been divided iuto
three equal parts, making 24 parts of all the
eight loaves, and each person to have eaten
a third share; therefore, the stranger must
have eaten seven parts of the person's bread
who had the five loaves (or 15 parts when
divided), and only one of him who contributed
three loaves, or nine parts.?Youths'
Compauion.

HUJIUK AT inr. .iLi.in.?cuiuc iuuii j
stories are told about the marriage services.
One of them relates how an old man brought
rather unwillingly to the altar could not he
induced to repeat the responses. "My good
man," at length exclaimed the clergyman,
"I really cannot marry you unless you do us
you are told." But the man still remained
silent. At this unexpected hitch the bride
lost all patience with her future spouse
and burst out with: "Goon, you old toot!
Say it after him, just the same as if you was
mockiu' him."
The same difficulty occurred in another ease.
The clergyman, after explaining what was
necessary and going over the responses several
times without the smallest effect, stopped
in dismay, whereupon the bridegroom encouraged
him with : "Go ahead, pnss'n, go
ahead ! thou'rt doing bravely." Upon another
occasion it was, strangely enough, the
woman who could not be prevailed upon to
speak. When the clergyman remonstrated
with her, she indignantly replied: "Your
father married me twice before and he
wasn't axin' me any ot them impertinent
questions at all."

Trying to Atone.?A seu-euptain who
lived in Washington during his stays on
land had a great fancy for fowls of all sorts,
and especially prized an old gobbler which
had been long in his possession. From one
cruise, says Harper's Young People, he
brought home a mischievous young monkey,
which made as much trouble as the proverbial
"white elephant."
One day, hearing a terrible commotion in
the hennery, the captain entered and found
Jocko with the gobbler under his arm, while
he was deliberately pulling out the poor
bird's last tail-feather. The captain rescued
the turkey and punished the monkey severe
ly, who knew very well wny ue was
chastised.
The next day, again hearing a commotion
among the feathered tribe, the captain went
to the scene of action, and there sat Jocko
with the much persecuted gobbler between
his knees, while was he trying to put the
feathers back.
His intentions were good ; but the tnrkejseetned
unable to appreciate them.
A liuv KnuINEER.?Ericsson was}* bom
machinist. Before 4ic was 11 years of age he
had produced the model of an ingeniously
constructed saw-mill, and also a pumping
engine, designed to keep the mines free
from water, llis tools were of the most
primitive description; but the result of his
labor indicated such remarkable genius that
he was appointed a member of the surveying
party of the Gotha Ship canal, and given
entire charge of one of the sections. It
must have been a curious spectacle to see a
12-year old lad, so small that it was necessary
for him to stand on a stool to use his
surveying instruments, directing the working
operations of 600 of the royal troops.
The Wife.?No man ever prospered in the
world without the co-operation of his wife.
If she unites in mutual endeavors, or rewards
his labors with an endearing smile,
with what confidence will he resort to his
merchandise or his farm, flv over the land,
sail upon the seas, meet difficulty, encounter
danger, if he knows he is not spending his
strength in vain, but that his labor will be
ivwardi*d by I lie sweets 01 notne. jsoiicuuue

Why a Cat Falls Upon* Its Fkkt.?
The fact that however a eat may he thrown
it will usually manage to light on its feet is
; because of the facility with which it balances
itself when springing from a height :
which power of balancing is in some degree
produced by the flexibility of the heel, the
bones of which have no fewer than four
joints. Another reason why it usually
alights softly on its feet, is because in the
middle of the foot there is a large ball, or
pad, in five parts, formed of an elastic substance.
and at the base of each toe there is
a similar pad.

A BANKING MISADVENTURE. ''
. . i <
BY K. U. ORENVILI.E MURRAY. j (
. t
Herr Zebedee Hanser, the great hanker of j
Cologne, was a very sharp man, and "bad to 1
beat," as the Americans say. He belonged to |
a family that had multiplied and spread over j J
the earth, founding counting-houses in all '
ilm fiinitnl eifip? nf tln> vvrirlil timl Kiiekimr
up gold from their adopted countries as1 i
though their lingers were fashioned like the!'
tentacles of the octopus. As nothing urges a , 1
man to despise his fellows so much as mak- j1
itig money out of them, Herr Zebedee, who ' |
was in a way the head of all the Manser j,
firms, had collected a number of aphorisms ,
as to human imbecility which he was fond ,
of repeating with a broad Prussian grin, lie
was an ugly old man, with hard features ]
and very shiny gold-rimmed spectacles, |
through which his eyes gleamed with a .
sagacious leer of constant incredulity. He ]
took snufi' and dressed in the fashion of 401 j
years ago, wearing mostly a loosely button- (
ed brown coat, which readied almost to his']
heels, an unstarched white cravat, and low i ;
shoes with strings. When he went out to j <
the Cologne Bourse he covered his bald head ! i
with a broad wideawake, his hands with ;
cloth gloves, and carried a gold-headed stick, ,
wherewith he rapped the pavement with I
little knocks of complacency, as if it were j
all his. The small boys of Cologne, seeing ,
him pass, nudged one another, and said : i
"That is great Herr Zebedee Hanser, who
is as sharp as a gimlet."
One day Herr Zebedee, so "bad to beat,"'j
received the following lamentable letter from ' ]
his first cousin once removed, Herr Zachary . i
Hanser, banker and cigar merchant, of Bish-; 1
opgnte street, London : ;j
"My DearZkhkdkk:?Praise to Heaven that ( 1
the quotations of our last loan are looking up; [1
but i am sorry to say that my eldest son, Esau, I
is giving me a deal of grief, lie lias absconded
from London, carrying with him a large sum in
securities belonging to our customers, which it!
is his intention to negotiate on the Continent. I
trusted him with the post of cashier for a week,
and this is the never-to-be-suHieientlv-deplored j
result. If this affair transpires, and Esau be i
caught, lie will lie prosecuted, and our credit will |
be damaged, not to mention the never-to-beunderrated
grieftiiat a father must feel; but,
my dear Zebedee, I have reason to believe that
mir Esau will have made for Cologne, there to
hide for awhile and negotiate bis paper, so I 1
pray you to find out the youth, and recover the j
securities from him, even with threats of ini-!
prison ment if he resists. When Esau has re-j
stored the paper, then, I pray you, give him ;
1,000 pounds, and start niin for the United
States by the first Bremen packet, telling hint '
that his sorrowing father will never see him
again unless ho uiaKcs his fortune in America, |
and returns, like a true Iianser, to invest it in j
the family business. Esau shall have nothing
beyond those 4,000 pounds, and his brothers,
Hurl, Otto, and Jeremiah, shall inherit the portion
destined for him ; so that, praise lie to
Heaven. I shall he rather a gainer than a loser
by his dishonesty. The last consignment of!
jignrsfrom Hambnrg was not up to the samples, I!
1!)(1 I could only get rid of them by raising the 1
price and selling them under a brand not their
awn?which is never a convenient thing to do, j
but better than losing money. I am your truly
ill!icted and not-to-be-easily-consoled.
Zachary IIanskr.
"Post Seriptum Our reason for believing
that Esau has gone for Cologne is that he is
traveling with a maiden who is said to have friends
in your city, where she once performed (
us an actress. Esau asked our leave to marry m
her, and when we refused, then it was that he
nbsconded. I pray you deal gently with the
maiden, lest any scandal be raised and the business
of our bank should stiller at this not favorable
moment, when we want to raise public
confidence in our last loan. I enclose Esau's
photograph. Z. II.
When Zebedce had read though this epistle
of his Cousin Zachary he took a pinch
of snuff, and a malicious twinkle shot
through his eyes.
"Ach licher Himmel, I am not surprised
at this," said he. "This Esau is the little
coxcomb whom I have never seen, the only j
one among Zachary's brood who would not
cotne over to Cologne to serve his apprentice-!
ship as a clerk in our house. They said he
was receiving an aristocratic education in
England. Ah, well, we see what has hecome
of of it. He is dressed in this portrait
like an unthrifty libertine."
Zebedee Hanscr was, it will be seen, one
of those excellent men who always contrive
to draw some consolation from the misfortunes
of others. He read his Cousin Zachary's
letter again, and then put on his hat
and gloves to go and look for the reprobate
Esau through the different hotels of
Cologne. The clews he had to work upon i
were very slender; but, fortunately, the!
photograph would enable him to trace the!
fugitive, supposing the latter were truly |
in town. Zebedee Hanser felt pretty mix-!
ious to lay hold of Esau; for in the first
place lie did not wish the name of Hanscr j
to be dragged through the mire of a criminal
prosecution ; and in the next lie honest- j
ly desired to serve his Cousin Zachary, who \
had been doing well in business of late, and j
had actually taken the Gerolstein loan out J
of the hands of the Sclnvartzchilds. These j
sorts of triumphs hind the heart of banking
cousins in a tight bond.
So Heir Zebedee set out on his tour of!
tlie Cologne hotels, and wherever he went j
he was obsequiously received by landlords j
and waiters, who gave him every i 11 forma- '
lion in their power, being delighted to oblige j
a financier of his importance. Unfortunate- :
ly, they could not put him in the way of| ]
discovering Esau. That youth's photograph j <
was respectfully scrutinized, and in half a
dozen places it was aflirtned that a gentle-j
man like him had been there; lint on closer!
inquiry this turned out to be incorrect.
Weary and somewhat impatient?for he j
did not like to be thwarted?Herr Zebedec j
was at last fain to take a cab and explore a
new series of inns ot a lower order, lie had
been driving for an hour, and had visited j
several very queer hostelries without improv- {'
ing his luck, when at last, close to a railway '
station, he came upon a newly opened hotel,
which had a respectable appearance, though
it was small. Here llerr Hanser was not r
known ; but the moment lie bad exhibited
Esau's photograph, the landlord's wife exclaimed
: "Ach Gott,ja; this is the portrait
if the young man who is traveling with bis i
well-beloved bride or mistress, I know not,
which. Mein Herr, this so tenderly attach- j
I'd couple are dining now off veal cutlets and !
Rhenish wine. Shall I take your card |
"No, I will go to the dining room, and ! :
there sit down?perchance cat," said Herr j I
Hanser.
"Pray do so, gracious sir?a dish of sausages
stewed in prunes has just come in,"
Answered the landlady. "Hi, Fritz, a customer
!"
Fritz was the landlord, a thick fellow, with
i moustache, and with a napkin over his arm.' i
who came forward bowing, and ushered Herr j J
Hanser into the dining room. Now, tliej
banker, having had ample leisure to study Ic
'lie photograph, bad decided that K-un possessed
very few of the Hanser lineaments, j |
itnd this struck him the more when he beheld ' (
Esau in the flesh. The youth he saw was a
rather overdressed lad with a double eyeglass, J
who was making love to a fleshy, goldenhaired
wench, who who was sharing with
liiin a dish of veal cutlets; and it seemed to
Herr Zebedec that aristocratic English education
had wrought a physical as well as a J
moral deterioration in this degenerate scion of
Hanser blood. Pleased with himself, howev...

LI, IUI Having ...? r*
iIon.*, without police aiil, lien* Zehedee was
11 most good-humored as lie advanced to the1
[able, hat in hand, and said, with a mocking
lir:
"Good-day, my nephew Ksau!"
"What!" exclaimed the youth thus adIressed,
and he started to his feet with disturbance
depicted on his physiognomy.
"Sit down, nephew, sit down,'' said Ilerr
Zehedee, forcing the reprobate into his seat j
with gentle violence. "We are going to have
some talk, and (here he lowered his voice) if
roil try to escape I shall hand you over to
[lie police.''
"Aeh (iott. wir sind verlorn !" ejaculated:-*
the llcshy wench; and forthwith began to',
weep over the cutlets.
"Kellner,"' said 11 err Zcbedoe, "bring me
i dish of sausages and prunes, with a half 1
iiotlle of Itudesheiin." lie divested himsclfi.'i
if his hat. bis overcoat and ~tiek, and rubbed , j
nis hands with sarcastic gleefulnoss as lie, s
ooked at his nephew, and whispered : "Ksau,! 'I
hou art a knave: thou shalt restore me the *
securities thou hast stolen, and this very (
night thou shalt start for Kreinen, on thy:*,
way to America." 1
"Merev !" prayed Ksau, who saw that eon-)x
raiment was useless, and so clasped his
liands.
"Mercy !*' whimpered the damsel, who
was his beloved. "I beseech you, too-muchn
j tired-and-never-to-be-snllicien t ly-i in plored j
<ir, do not separate my Ksauchen from me."
"Ve shall have lour thousand pounds to <
dart with, and ye may both go together to I
:he devil,''said Herr Zebedee, helping him-1
>elf to a cutlet pending the arrival of the
;u usages.
"What, only four thousand pounds !M ex-'
daimed Plsau, in seeming consternation.
"Only four thousand!'' echoed the maid;n,
who always repeated what Esau said. i
"Four thousand pounds is enough to make j
nillions with, and thou wouldst know it if
hou wert a true Hanser," exclaimed Herr
?ebedee, as soon as he could speak, for the
tvrath and the veal that were choking him.
'Ah, out upon thee ! I'll give thee a bill at j
linety days for the money, and if thou j
wan test cash, I'll discount it for thee at the i
current rates."
"No, that won't do," said Esau ; "I'll take I
t to he discounted elsewhere : and'll spread j
it about that thou art badly oil' in thy busi- j
jess, since thou canst not avoid sharp practice."
"Ah, well, thou hast some of the Manser ,
tilood in thee, after all." conceded HerrZeh dee,
with involuntary admiration : "hut I
will not hob-nob with thee, for thou art a
dumsy knave."
That night (lie 10 o'clock train from l'o*
ogne to lircmen carried with it the repro-'
jate E*auand his plump partner. They had '
1,000 pounds in notes and gold with them:!
tud in exchange for this trifle, as they were
pleased to regard it, delivered up, not with*;
iut difficulty, all the securities stolen in
London. They formed a bundle hig enough
:o fill a carpet-hag, which Ilerr Zebedce,
with considerable complacency, at once for- J
warded to London by a safe messenger.
Zaciiarv to /.kukokk?You have been hoax- !
;d. Our Ksau is the pride of our bank and our {
ionic. The youth who personated him must he j
i clerk lately discharged from our house. lie'
las duped you all through. The securities re-j
aimed are forgeries. It was cleverly done, and
ive cannot let ourselves lie duped with the four j
hoiisaud pounds you have disbursed."
The foregoing little story is a true one,
md Herr Zvhcdee Hanser has, up to date of
present writing, felt bad. He has received ,
10 intelligence of the sham Esau, and his j
el low bankers of Cologne have taken to
ibitig at him in the delicate fashion of Gernans
when they joke.

TO THE PEOPLE
OF THE CAROLINA.? AND
OF the SOUTHEAST
I"fie Columbia State makes an announcement
of more than ordinary interest. By special
arrangement with the publishers of that
greatest of all reference libraries, The
Encyclopaedia Brltannlca, ninth (latest)
edition, we are enabled for a short time to place
this King of Books within easy reach of every
reader. This edition Is bound in
I
28 Royafl Octavo VoDnmnnies
And is the only complete and unabridged edition
of this great work in existence revised to
date. That some sort of an Encyclopedia Is
a necessity, all must acknowledge. That the
great Britannica is the very best Encyclopedia.
none will deny. Only its great cost?
$125 for the Scribner Edition, $200 for the
Edinburgh Edition-has prevented Its purchase
heretofore. At these prices none but the rich
could afford to own It. We offer for a limited
time to the readers of The State an
edition superior even to the costly Edinburgh
Edition at the unheard of introductory rate of
TEN CENTS A DAY
For this small outlay you can secure these 38
Royal octavo volumes, complete and unabridged,
revised to date. The Britannica
Itself needs no endorsement. For 119 years It
has stood the crowning work of our English
language, the noblest work In all literature,
the one only adequate representative of the
advanced thought and scholarship of the world
It is the only Encyclopedia In which each
principal subject is treated by an acknowledged
authority upon that subject. No other
Encyclopedia has given Ten Thousand Dollar*
for a single article, nor Six Hundred Dollars a
page for written matter. The fact that
$3,000,000
Was expended in its preparation, requiring the
labor of 2,000 of the world's greatest scholars,
tells the story of Its exalted superiorly. Over
600 American authors were employed on
American subjects and American institution!.
Tihie Edition We Offer
To our readers comprises many features worthy I
of special mention,
1. A thorough equipment ol new maps up to
date, costing $;o,000 to produce.
1. The American Copyright Articles, rewritten
to date by eminent American writers. In
other respects this Edition is word for word,
line for line, page for page, identical with the
expensive Edinburgh Edition, costing $8.00
per volume.
j. But the crowning feature of this Edition
Is its American Additions and Revisions,
prepared under the supervision of that widely
known Encyclopxdic Editor, W. H. DEPUY,
D.D.. LL. D.. assisted by a corps of trained
writers, thoroughly revising the entire work
to date.
Not only are all Scientific an.1 Historical
Subjects brought absolutely up date, but a.
vast fund of new information is added, relatingto
the material, social, Industrial and educational
progress of the world, together with many
thousand New Biographies not in the original
Edition nor in any other Encyclopaedia.
For a Short Time
This elegant Reference Library will be offered
to subscribers of The Columbia Statb
at remarkably low introductory prices, and on
terms so easy as to seem almost ludicrous.
There are four styles of binding, and all
styles have double-hinged, flexible backs,
sewed precisely like an Oxford Teacher's
Bible, so that they are durable and convenient.
It Is an actual fact that this book is more
strongly bound than the Edi'ion which Is sold
for $8.00 per volume.
Upon application we will send you description
and prices of the various styles, and you
may select any style of binding you choose
and have the privilege of paying for it at the
rate of 10 cents a day, half the set being
delivered to you at once; or, we will deliver
the entire set of a8 volumes on payment of
$;.oo per month. All charges paid by us to any
railroad station in the United States.

1894, and 4 O'CLOCK, 1\ M.. ON
I'Hl'RSBAY, TIIK14TH DAY OF MARCH,
895, we will give a suite of FINK BEDROOM
?AK FIRNITIRK, VALI KI) AT $75.00.
I'liis suite of furniture consists of three pieces,
unbracing a dressing case with French beveled
liirmr 36x38 inches; a washstand?universal
oilet?with French beveled mirror36x24inches;
i bedstead 4 feet 8 inches in width and of proportionate
length, and a headboard fi feet 0
inches in height. The material of the suite is
imk, quarter sawed, and finished in the best
style. As an indication of its substantial character,
it may be mentioned that the weight of
the suite is about live hundred pounds. This
splendid suite is to be furnished by Messrs. S. T.
hRKVV A CO., of Rock Hill, and they have
assured us that they will not sell a similar suite
to any person for a less sum than $7.").
The suite of bedroom furniture is ottered
for the largest club ot NEW SIBSORIBERS
and independent of all other premiums, and
the person who secures it, will be entitled to
have his names counted in competition for
either of the other premiums offered. For
example: If the person who secures the bedroom
suite of furniture shall have returned
and paid for the largest list of names (including
old and new subscribers) up to 4 o'clock p.
m., on the 14th day March, 1895, such person
will be entitled to the $85 buggy; if the second
largest list, including those which secured the
bedroom suit, will be entitled to the $75 watch ;
if the third largest, the Corbin disk harrow.
If it is found on the 14th of March, 18!to, that
the person who secured the suite of furniture
has a sufficient number of names to be entitled
to a premium offered for sixty, forty, thirty,
twenty, ten, seven, or three names, and has
failed to secure either the buggy, gold watch
or harrow, offered for clubs of old and new
subscriber, such person will be awarded the
premium to which the number of names is
entitled. Thus the person who secures the bedroom
suite for the largest number of new subscribers,
hits also the opportunity of securing an
additional premium of even greater value.
pif In the contest for premiums ending
ft?3~ March 12, 1894, Mr. W. H. Crook, of US.
p-ir Fort Mill, was awarded a $100.00 "tSSf.
pH~ Wilcox A White Organ and a $75.00
p-&~ gold watch for 40 new subscribers. *
Mr. R. T. Rigcins, of Blairsville, was "!?X\
pSr awarded n $90 buggv for a list of 127
pis~ OLD and XFAY subscribers.
RENEWALS and NEW subscribers count
just the same in competition for all premiums
except the bedroom suite,
limn IDF urtll CIIDCPDIDFOC
wnu Hnt new ouDouniDLno.
1. Those who have never been subscribers.
2. Those who have been subscribers, but are
not now; nor were subscribers on the 1st day
of July, 1894.
A change of address from one member of a
family to another member of the same family
does not constitute a new subbscriber and will
not be so considered. It is intended that each
new subscriber shall be in accordance with
the rules prejeribed.
COM)ITK?S.
TWO SIX MONTHS' SUBSCRIBERS
at 81 each, will be considered the equivalent of
one yearly subscriber at ?1.75 and so counted.
A subscription paid for two or more years in
advance at 81.75 will be counted as one name
for each year so paid.
Club-makers will be held personally responsible
for the payment of all names returned by
them. After a club-maker has returned and
paid for any name, he can, at anytime thereafter,
discontinue the sending of the paper to the
person for whom he has paid, and transfer the
unexpired time to any other person, provided
the person to whom the transfer is desired was
not a subscriber at the time the original name
was entered on our hooks.
No name will he counted in competition for a
premium until the subscription price has been
paid ; nor will any premium he delivered until
a satisfactory settlement has been made for all
names returned by the club-maker.
Persons who commence making clubs will
not be permitted to transfer their club to another
dub-maker's list after the names have been
entered on our books.
It is not necessary that the names of a club
should all be at the same postotHee. Names
may be taken at any number of places.
Club makers are requested to send in names
asrapidlv as they secure them alter November
1, 1?U.
All subscriptions must be forwarded to us at
the expense of those sending them.
We will be responsible for the safe transmission
of money only when sent by draft, registered
letter or money order drawn on the Yorkville
postolllee.
In sendnig names, write plainly, and give
postolllee, county and State.
All subscriptions will be discontinued at the
expiration of the time paid for.
A separate list -will be kept for each clubmaker,
who will lifc credited with each name
sent, so that the numjjer sent by^my one person
may be ascertained alaHponient's notice.
In case of a tie for either premium, two weeks
will be allowed in which to "untie."
The time in which names Tnay l>e returned
under our propositions will commence on the
1st day cd November, lKtM, jfcid expire at
