Well Prepared. ? A minister's
wife, who is not so seriously minded at
all times as her husband is, tells some
laughable stories relating to marriage
ceremonies which he performed while
they were living in a newly settled
district in the backwoods of Canada.
The minister always felt it to be bis
duty to give each young couple a little

marriage ceremony, and for this purpose
he usually took them aside, one
at a time, and talked very soberly to
each of them regarding the great importance
of the step they were to take
and the new responsibilities they were
to assume.
One day he talked in his most earnest
manner for several minutes to a
youug woman who had come to be
married.
"And now," he said, in closing, "I
hope you fully realize the extreme importance
of the step you are taking,
and that you are prepared for it."
"Prepared?" she said, innocently;
"well, if I ain't prepared, I don't know
who is. I've got four common quilts
and two nice ones, and four brand-uew
feather beds, 10 sheets and 12 pairs of
pillow slips, four linen table clothes, a
dozen spoons, and a good six-quart
kettle. If I ain't prepared, no girl in
this county ever was !"
Doubtful Compliment.?An Irish
barrister named Bethel was rather
pround of writing pamphlets. Meeting
a witty acquaintance some days
after the publication of one of these,
Bethel was asked by him why he had
not been informed of its appearance.
"I wonder you didn't tell me you'd
written it, Bethel," said the witty acquaintance
; "I never saw it until yesterday,
and then only by the merest
accident."
"Well, how did you like it?" asked
Bethel.
"How did I like it?" repeated the
other. "Why, it contained some of
the best things I ever saw in a pamphlet
on any subject!"
"I am very proud to hear you say
so," said Bethel, "very proud indeed !
And?ah?What were the things that
pleased you so much ?"
"Mince pies," said the other.
"What?" cried Bethel, his face turning
purple.
"Midce pies," repeated the other. "I
Ant nf a nastrv
saw a gin vuujiug umv - r? ?
shop, and she bad three steaming hot
mince pies wrapped op in your pamphlet.
They were fine!"
An Ugly Little Man.?A school
inspector was examining a class in
grammar and trying to elucidate the
complex relations of adjectives and
nouus, by a telling example.
"Now, for instance," said he, "what
am I ?"
That was an easy question, and all
the children shouted : "A man !" and
then looked around triumphantly, as
much as to say : "Ask another."
"Yes, but what else?" said the inspector.
This was not so easy ; but, after a
pause, a boy ventured to suggest: "A
little man."
"Yes, but there is something more
than that."
This was a poser; but at last an infant
phenomenon almost leaped from
his seat in bis eagerness, cried :
"Please, sir, I know, sir?an ugly
little man."
Mostly a Native.?"Are you a
native of this parish ?" asked a Scotch
sheriff of a wituess who was summoned
to testify in a case of illicit distilling.
uMaistly, yer houor," was the reply.
"I mean were you born in this
parish ?" "Na. I wasna boru in this
parish; but I'm maist a native for a'
that." "You came here when you were
a child. I suppose you mean?" said
the sheriff. "No, sir, I'm here about
sax year noo." "Then how do you
come to be nearly a native of this parish?"
"Weel, ye see, whan I cam'
here sax year sin', I jist weighed eight
stane, and I'm seventeen stane *ioo,
sae you see that about nine stane o'
me belongs to this parish, and the ither
eight comes from Camloche."
A Case of Necessity?A shopkeeper,
who bad stuck up a notice in
glaring capitals, "Selling ofl! Must
close on Saturday!" was asked by a
friend :
"What! Are you selling off ?"
"Yes; all the shop-keepers are selling
off, ain't they ?"
"You say, 'Must close on Saturday.' "
"To be sure; would you have me
keep open on Sunday ?"
f?* "Are you going to be an old maid
now, Ethel ?" asked the young lady's
10-year old sister. "Why, certainly
not, you silly child," she replied. "I
shall marry Mr. Spooner, of course."
"But you can't now." "Why not?"
"Isn't he a bachelor?" "Yes." "And
he joined the church this morning."
"I know it." "And he was confirmed."
"I know that, also." "Well, doesu't
that make him a confirmed bachelor?"

of himself on the blackboard)?Hollerback,
you are the best of my pupils.
Say, who drew that horrid face on the
blackboard ? Scholar?Please, sir, my
sense of honor forbids my acting the
part of informer unless you assure
the perpetrator immunity from punishment.
"Ah, well, for your sake we
will let it pass. Now, who was it?"
"I did it myself."
IA mau was waiting his turn to
be served in a Dublin fishmonger's
while a little weazened old gentleman
priced every fish in the shop. "How
much is this?and this?and this?and

Text of the Lennon, John xvlll, 15,27.
Memory Verne*, 2.1-25?Golden Text,
John i, 11?Commentary Prepared
by the Rev. D. M. Stearns.
[Copyright, 1S99. by D. M. Stearns.]
15. "And Simon Peter followed Jesus."
In Mnth. xxvi, 58, it is stud that Peter
followed Him afar off, and when any follow
Him that way instead of following
fully we may expect to see some work of
satau in such a one. The dogs do not need
to run after the sheep which keep close by
the shepherd. It is only the wandorers
which need to be barked in. Matthew also
says that Peter went in and sat with the
servants. He put himself in bad company.
He is in great danger. '
16. "Peter stood at the door without."
John went out and spoke unto her that
omi had Peter come in u
little nearer. Before this and immediately
after His arrest nil tho disciples forsook
Him and fled, even as Jesus had said,
"Ye shall be scattered, every man to his
own and shall leave me alone" (John xvi,
82). But Peter and John must have soon
returned. Peter in his great weakness
and John in his great love seemed in
many ways the nearest to Christ of all the
disciples.
17. "Art not thou also one of this man's
disciples? Ho saith, I am not." Thus
spake the damsel that kept the door, and
thus Peter replied. Peter, who had said:
"Although all shall be offended, yet will
not I. If I should die with Thee, I will
not deny Thee in any wise" (Mark xiv,
29, 81). How little we know our own
hearts or realize how weak we are and
what we might do if left to ourselves.
18. " Peter stood with them and warmed
himself." He stood with the servants
and officers who bad made a Are of coals
to warm themselves, for it was cold.
The expression "it was cold" seems to
me to go along with that in chapter xiii,
80, "It was night." If they call to mind
any time in your own life when with you,
either literally or figuratively, or both, it
was night?so dark and cold and lonely
?you will better understand. To our
Lord it was from the earthly side so dark
and lonely, but His comfort was His
Father's presence and approval.
19. "The high priest then uskcd Jesus
of His disciples and of His doctrine." As j
if it had been some friendly call that Jesus
had made upon him, while all tho time
there was murder in his heart and he was
probably rejoicing that*at last he had this
man in his power who had sot asido their
traditions, broken their Sabbath days, defied
their power and plainly told them
that they were hypocrites, blind guides,
whited sepulchres. Our Lord Jesus had
proved that Ho was Israel's Messiah, sent
of God, und that God was with Him, and
the high priest knew, as Niccdenms knew,
that no ono could do whut Jesus did unless
God was with him (chapter iil, 2).
20. 'Jesus answered him, I spake openly
to tho world; I ever taught in the synagogue
and in the temple, whither tho Jews
always resort; and in secret have I said
nothing." Even the people had said:
"Lo, Ho speaketh boldly, and they say
nothing unto Him. Do the rulers know
indeed that this is the very Christ?" (John
vii, 26.) The officers also said to tho chief
priests and Pharisees, "Never man spake
like this man" (John vii, 46).
21. "Why askest thou Me? Ask them
which heard Me what I have said unto
them; behold they know what I said." I
Yes, and the high priest himself knew
enough of what Jesus had said, for many
a time had he and the other priests and
the Pharisees talked of the sayings of
Jesus, but the teaching was too holy for J
them; tho light was too strong for their
eyes; they could not bear it. They
taught tho commandments of men, but
Jesus taught tho word of God. They preferred
their traditions to the word of God.
22. "One of the officers which stood by
6truck Jesus with the palm of his hand."
The margin says "with a rod." How
difficult it is to understand all this, and
to see tho true High Priest standing as n
criminal before tho legal high priest, who
was in reality no priest of God at all, and
then to see this officer of tho law lift his
hand and smite his Creator! But they
did not know what they were doing.
23. "Jesus answered him, If I have
spoken evil, bear witness of tho evil; but
if well, why smitest thou Mo?" It was a
mild protest to a great wrong and to most
unjust treatment. Even a great criminal
is by the law and tho officers of tho law
protected till his case is heard, and no
one daro touch him. Against our Lord
nothing was proved yet; Ho was not even
properly on trial.
24. "Now Annas had sent Him bound
unto Caiuphas, the high priest." John
does not dwell longer upon His ill traatment
before Caiuphas, the false witnesses,
the blindfolding and spitting and buffeting.
Perhaps, like the agony in Gethseniane,
it was more than he could write
about. Matthew, Mark and Luke saw it
not; they only heard it from others; but
John saw it all, it was very real to him,
he could not forget it, and to write it
would be to live it all over again. H?
could not stand it; it was not required of
him, else he would have done it. Do not
fail to notice what Jesus 6nid to the high
priest about His second coming, for it will
surely come to pass (Math, xxvi, 64;
Mark xiv, 62; Luke xxii, 69).
25. As Peter warmed himself at tho servants'
lire one said unto him, "Art not
thou also one of His disciples?" And the
second time he denied and said, "I am
not." The steps in Peter's downfull
seem to bo self confidence and boasting,
following afar off, keeping tho company
of the ungodly and enjoying the warmth
of their lire. They are written for our
warning that we may avoid them all.
They are partly summed tip in Ps. i, 1.
26. 27. A relative of the man whoso car
Peter cut off said, "Did not I sec thee in
the garden with Him?" And for the third
time Peter denied, and immediately the
cock crew. Tho Lord had told Peter that
v_ u J orr.10
I1U WUU1U UlMi^y nun uu vwn v?w??
(Luke xxii, 31), und so it canio to pass.
It was satun sifting Simon, but with
God's permission for Simon's good, for
satan had to ask for it, but Jesus' prayer
prevailed for him (Luke xxii, 31, 82).
Matthew says that Peter's second denial
was with an oath, and his third with cureing
and 6wcaring (Math, xxvi, 72, 74).
At the third denial the Lord turned and
looked upon Peter, and Peter remembered
the word of the Lord, how Ho had said
unto him, "Before the cock crow thou
shalt deny Me thrico." And Peter went
out and wept bitterly (Luke xxii, 61, 62).
No word had our Lord for Peter, and no
mess;igo had Peter from Ilim till that
kind word after the resurrection from the
angel by the women, "Go your way, tell
tlis disciples and Peter (Mark xvi, 7),
Peter being the only one mentioned by
name.

BRAVE AMERICAN SOLDIERS.
How They Upheld Their Country'M Reputation
In the Philippine*.
Associated Press Dispatch, Tuesday.
Instances of personal bravery have
been quite numerous iu the American
army iu the Philippines as during the
Cuban campaign; but the correspondents
have uot had the opportunity to
.chrouicle these deeds of darinf in the
Orient, because of the thickness of the
country penetrated. Many heroic acts
were also uuheard of for days after
their occurrence.
[ One soldier who has well illustrated
the quality of the American is Captain
Charles Clay, of the Seventeenth infantry.
Captain Clay is a native of
Lexington, Ky., and a grandson of
Henry Clay. He brought new honor
* * ?1? in PllKu whprp
lO I lie I tlLLl ny uauic iu
during the hottest action ou the Santiago
field, when his men were lying
behind cover for a shelter from a shower
of bullets, he marched back and
forth in front of his company as erect
and cool as though on dress parade,
uor would he yield to the appeals of
the men that he find shelter.
"The captain never forgot for a second
that he was'a Clay," one of them
explained.
When General Hale was assigned to
a brigade in the Philippines he appointed
Captain Clay to the position of
adjutant. On the first day of MacArthur's
advance, Captain Clay, ridiug
erect as usual, received a bullet
through the neck. He lay six hours in
the jungle before he was discovered
and, as the wound was a dangerous
one at the best, his life was despaired
of. His only thought when be was
brought into the hospital was that his
family should be informed that he was
but slightly injured. He is now, however,
well on the road to complete recovery.
Among those officers who have fallen,
no one will be longer or more loyally
remembered by his comrades than
Lieutenant Gregg of the Fourth infantry.
No man in the army had more
than he to make life worth living,
friends, success in his profession, vitality
aud physical strength that made
him the impersonation of an athlete
and soldier. His fearlessness and confidence
in bis powers contributed to
h;? rioath Tn the beginning of the hot
fight at Mariquina, which Geueral
Hale conducted with such skill that it
was worthy of more attentiou than
the overshadowing importance of Mac-.
Arthurs'* advance permitted, Gregg
was near his chief. The horse he rode
had just been shot from under him.
He was taken off the saddle when a
man warned him that the shot had
been fired by a sharpshooter in a tree
nearby. Kefusiug to take cover, as
most of the men were doiug, the lieutenant
stepped forward, aud; standing
erect, uncased his field glasses to look
at the tree. Just as he raised them to
his eyes a puff of smoke was seen in
the tree. Gregg put his hand to his
breast and fell forward, instantly killed.
THEIR MOUTHS CLOSED.
Ceusured Officers Have No' Means of Redress.
Washington Star, Monday.
"The president is commander-inchief
of the army and my superior.
He has approved the findings of the
Wade court of inquiry. Therefore, I
have no comment to make. It would
be an unsoldierly act were I to do so."
With these words General Miles replied
to a Star reporter who saw him
for a moment today with regard to the
probable action he would take in view
of the adverse report of the court.
"Will you formulate a protest to the
president?" was the next question.
"I have nothing to say, sir. No,
sir," replied the general.
"Will you inspire a congressional investigation
?"
"No, sir. I will not talk upon the
subject."
"Do you believe congress will rectify
the matter ?"
"I do not know what congress will
do, nor have I any means of knowing
iu advance what verdict the result of
au investigation might develop. I
have no comment, criticism, or statement
to make in this matter, and you
may take it as certain that any alleged
interview or intimations to the contrary
Baid to come from me are wholly
and unqualifiedly false. '
"I was, and am now, actuated solely
by the consideration of the health,
lives and integrity of the army. My
duty is done."
Inquiry was made as to the status
of the officers criticised and what
course they might pursue, and it was
stated that as a military, legal proposition
it was impossible for any action
to be taken by any of the officers aggrieved.
They might demand a court
of inquiry, but this was a court of inquiry
which recommended that no
further action be taken ; this being approved
by the president, precluded
any further inquiry. General Eagan,
who is specified in the report, is not

Lieuteuant Colonel Mans, of General
Miles's staff, the other officer criticised,
feels it keenly. His friends say he was
among the witnesses whom General
Miles asked to be called, and was not
[culled by the court.
TAKING THE CENSUS.
It Will Require the Services of 40,000
Enumerator)).
The general scheme of taking the
census is about the same in all countries.
Our own bill provides for one
director, 300 supervisors and one enumerator
for every 4,000 inhabitants.
The director and the supervisors are
appointed by the president. The director,
though under the immediate direction
of the secretary of the interior,
is the head of a census office created
for the time necessary for his work.
His salary, according to the twelfth
census bill, is only $5,000 per annum.
The salury of the 1890 director was
$6,000. Why the new bill gives the
1900 director a smaller salary for more
work is not known, says Leslie's
Weekly.
The supervisors are apportioned
among the various states and territories,
and take their orders from the
director. Each supervisor controls a ,i
district. He separates district into
subdivisions, or blocks of 4,000 persons
each, and appoints an enumerator for
each subdivision. With Hawaii, Por i
- -rx' -? 3 _ J
to Rico aud the I'nuippiues inciuueu
in the 1900 census, 40,000 enumerators i
will be needed. Each enumerator is
allowed a maximum of $6 a day. This
will mean about $240,000 a day for 30 <
days, or a cost of perhaps $7,000,000 i
just for the men who count the people
and apply the inquisitorial process.
The bill provides for everybody in the
census office, from the director to the
charwoman.
There is an assistant director at $4,000
; five chief statisticians, at $3,000
each; one chief clerk, at $2,500; one
stenographer, at $2,500; 45 clerks, :
averaging $1,200 each; a captain of <
the watch, at $800; two messengers,
at $600 each ; a disbursing clerk, at
$1,000; aud a number of helpers classed
as skilled laborers and unskilled laborers,
the first at $400 and the latter
at $240 each.
The total of these figures shows that
the home office of the census?the
headquarters?will cost about $100,000
per annum. For the purpose of
startiug this office congress has placed
at the disposal of the secretary of the
interior the sum of $200,000. The
whole cos* of taking the census of
1890 was $6,400,000. The census of
1900, however, will cost fully twice as
much?for there are more questions to
ask and more people to answer, and
a much greater area to cover.

CLEVELAND-Shelby Aurora, May
? -J5- ann
1U I Wirt UttlUlU ILJU xvjrwcai uiu uwtj
of Mr. Douglass Hardin, an industrious
and well koown farmer, living
about two miles south of Shelby, had
a terrific battle with a rabid dog,
about 5 o'clock Friday morning. From
the best information obtainable, tbe
dog passed through Shelby Thursday
night biting and snapping at every
dog with which it came in contact.
Several dogs here were bitten. Early
Friday morning tbe same dog, it is
supposed, passed by Mr. Hardin's
house and attacked bis dog. His son,
Wirt hearing the commotion ran out
in tbe yard. By this time the strug
gling dogs had crossed over the road
to Mr. Walter Hardin's and the attacked
dog ran into tbe house and
tbe door was closed just as young
Hardin arrived. Immediately the
rabid brute sprang at his throat. He
threw up his left arm to ward off the
attack, and the dog's gleaming teeth
were fastened in tbe uplifted arm.
In a moment they were rolling over
and over in mortal combat, the boy
making desperate effort to release his
arm and also choke ofi the infuriated
brute. The encounter was short,
thrilling and terrific. The young man,
with desperate courage and frenzied
strength, slowly but surely cboked his
antagonist in a vice-like grip, and by
tbe time his father bad arrived on the
scene, the dog was limp and lifeless,
the brave young lud having literally
^hnkp.d him to death. His arm and
hand was terribly and shockingly lacerated
and a gruesome and sickening
sight. As quickly as possible the anxious
father brought his heroic boy to
Shelby, where Dr. Evans McBrayer
dressed the wouuds. Mr. Hardin left
Friday with his son, for Charlotte, to
have the mad stone of Dr. O'Donohue
applied. Excitement was intense,
Thurday night, and many efforts were
made to kill the dog here in Shelby,
but without avail. The many friends
of the young man deeply sympathize
with him in his misfortune, and the occurrence
is greatly deplored. We
trust most sincerely that he may recover
entirely from his injuries. It is
comforting to learn from a prominent
physician that only about one in 15
are inoculated from the bites of rabid
dogs.
CHESTER?The Lantern, May 9:
Mr. A. M. Wylie's school at Bethany,
York county, will close this week and
he will return home. Saturday
night, when near Knox station, returning
from the picnic at Catawba Falls,
the horse driven by Miss Dell Hood
and Mr. Ed Ray, of Charlotte, backed,
and the whole outfit crashed into a
gully ten feet deep. It was dark and
raining, the ditch was flooded with
water and Miss Dell thought she was
in the Atlantic ocean. Strange to say,
neither the horse nor the occupants of
the buggy were injured, though the
vehicle was wrecked. They waded
through a wheat field to Mr. Knox's,
got a buggy and came on home.
Captain Wm. McAliley bad another
stroke of paralysis a few days ago and
* ?- f
was IOUDCl some uisiauuc nuui mo
house. He rallied somewhat so that
he could walk about; but bis mind
was badly aflected and he has been
incliued to wauder off. He seems to
be daily growing weaker. Mr.
Eugene Mills, son of Mr. R. B. Mills,
of Blackstock, left yesterday morning
for Fort Bragg, California. His broth[er,
Samuel Y., who went there four
years ago, is employed in the lumber
business and is doiDg well. His uncle,
Dr. Samuel H. McLurkin, has been in
California perhaps 12 years. We are
sorry to learn that his health is broken
down. He is now in a hospital at
Wheatland. Mr. W. M. Kennedy,
Jr., of Yorkville, spent last night in the
city, on his way to Clinton to attend
,the marriage of Mr. Howard Caldwell

have had to make "mash" of
something like a dozen blockade distilleries
in that section. Among
the opinions filed by the supreme
court last Tuesday was that in case
of State agaiust Pbons Rhyne for the
murder of Mr. T. G. Falls. The defendant
is granted a new trial. Upon
what grounds the opinion was based
we have been unable to learn.
Within the past few days-, Mr. P. M.
Rhyne, of Costner, who, by the way, is
one of Gaston's best farmers, has lost
$40 worth of fine thoroughbred Berkshire
hogs. They died of a peculiar
disease and Mr. Rhyne would be glad
to know what it is and what should be
done about it. They did not appear
to be sick more than two or three
minutes. The disease seemed to attack
suddenly and kill quickly. The
hogs were in good condition, and
would eat heartily in the morning and
he found dead before night. In one
case he noticed that a fine brood sow
failed to eat at dinner-time and died
before dark. Mr. Rhyne says the
hogs had no cholera ; be doesn't know
what the disease is. What do the
stock doctors have to say about it ?

crouched behind a clump of bushes.
Mr. Loftin pulled off his hat to better

his neck up turkey fashion and eyed
the white among the bushes, peering
now on this side and now on that. ;
Satisfied that he scented danger, he '
turned, and 'said to his comrades,
'Let's run boys!" And they did. As
Messrs. Loftin and Huss lunged
through the laurel down to the plant,
they caught rear sight of three necks
and three pairs of flying heels. Tbey
found supplies of eggs, ham, pie stuffs
and other delicacies out of which they
prepared a sumptuous meal, of which
they ate heartily, washing it down
