jRuraorons Department. How Edison Learned to Chew. "A loDg time ago, when I was a mite of a boy," said Edison, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, "I, with two other little fellows, bad saved up a lot of scrap iron and tin and zinc, which we meant to sell when the holidays came around. There was a large boy in the neighborhood (I think be must have become a bunco steerer af* * - 1 "?*?? terwarasj, wno Knew ui uui uu<?.u. One day when we had been in swimming be came to us and said : " 'Say, you fellows, if you will give me that tin and iron and stuff you have I'll teach you how to chew.' "The proposition struck us as being very fair, particularly as he agreed to furnish the tobacco. Well, we were quite willing, so he brought some Canadian cut down to the sand bank by the river. He divided the stuff into three parts and gave us each one. When he said: "'Now you must do exactly as I say, and you must do it right away, or you'll never learn to chew.' " 'Now,'then,' he shouted "hold up !' "We held it up. " 'Put it in your mouth !' he yelled. "We put it it. " 'Chew !' he hissed dramatically. "We worked away at a great rate. * v j " 'Swallow it!' ne screecneu. "We gulped it down, and then that young rascal fairly rolled down that bank with laughter, while we rolled down the other, sicker, I suppose than any of us had been in our lives before or since. One of the boys nearly died, and they had a very serious time With him." His Reputation Saved.?"They tell a funny story in the army about Captain Patillo, the crack shot," said one of a party of late diners. "According to the yarn, General Miles and a high Washington official once visited a western fort where the captain was stationed, and sent word that they would like to see a little exhibition of his skill. Patillo happenpened to be quite sick at the time, but he couldn't very well refuse, and presently appeared on the long distance range. He blazed away, and an Irish sergeant, who had been sent out to act as marker, waved a small dag. 'What does that mean ?' asked the distinguished visitor. "It means I missed the whole target,' replied Patillo, gloomily. He tried again with the same result. 'I don't know what's the matter with me !' he exclaimed in deep mortification. 'I never did such work in my life.' "At the third shot the distant figure varied the wigwagging, and the assembled officer applauded. The signal meant a bull's eye. Thereupon he fired 20 consecutive rounds, and each time the flag waved back the news that he had pierced the inner circle. It was a marvelous record, an unparalled score; the distinguished visitor was very gracious in his congratulations. "Later on Patilio still Deaming, met the marker, crossing the parade grounds. 'Hello, sergeant!' he said, 'I wonder what the deuce made me miss the target those first two shots ?' Whist ! captain,' replied the Irishman, drawing close, ' 'tis divil the toime ye hit it at all 1' 'Didn't hit it at all!" cried Patillo, in amazement; then why did you signal all those bull's eyes ?' 'Faith, sor,' said the sergeant, reproachfully, I knew yer ripytation was at stake.' "?New Orleans Times-Democrat. His Name For It.?Practical people who have an explanation always ready are none too numerous. All the better, therefore, is the following story from The Gentlewoman : * The lawyer asked the witness if the incident previously alluded to wasn't a miracle, and the witness said he did not know what a miracle was. "Oh, come!" said the attorney. "Supposing you were looking out of a window in the twentieth story of a building, and should fall out and should not be injured. What would you call that ?" "An accident," was tne stona repiy. "Yes, yes ; but what else would you call it? Well, suppose that you were doing the same thing the next day ; suppose you looked out of the twentieth story window and fell out, and again should find yourself not injured, now what would you call that ?" "A coincidence," said the witness. "Oh, come, now," the lawyer began again. "I want you to understand what a miracle is, and I'm sure you do. Now, just suppose that on the third day you were looking out of the twentieth story window and fell out, and struck your bead on the pavement 20 stories below and were not in the least injured. Come, now, what would you call it?" "Three times?" said the witness, rousing a little from his apathy. Well, I'd call that a habit." And the lawyer gave it up. A Cute Lad.?A young Irishman once went to a kind hearted old squire for a recommendation. An elaborate one was written and read to him. He took it with thanks, but did not move. "What's the matter with it ?" roar ea me squire. "Oh, nothin', sorr,' said the Jad quickly. "Well, then, why don't you go?" "Sure, sorr, I thought on the stringth of a recommind like that you'd be wantin' to hire me." City Boy's Idea.?A Gallatin county farmer hired a boy from the city to assist him through the summer. The farmer told the kid to go out to the barn lot and salt the calf. The kid took a quart of salt and industriously rubbed it into the calf's hide. The colts got after the calf for the salt and had about all the hair licked off the animal before its condition was discovered.?Montgomery (111.) News. - - Jttiscrlliinrous ^failing.

It was caught near Bessemer City by a young man. It is five feet long and has eight rattles. This is the first rattlesnake that has been seen in these parts for some time. Though only a few years ago they were not uncommon here. Wheat will be planted extensively in this county this fall, some of it in the most approved method and a great deal in any haphazard way. If our successful wheat growers will go to work and impress their methods on their less careful neighbors, they will benefit the neighborhood and add greatly to the yield of the next crop.

At the depot Monday morning, an accident, occurred which, although it might have been worse, excited much pity among the spectators. Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Turbyfill, with their little son about two or three years old, had just goi out of their hack. They were going to Cornelius, N. C., to bury t'heir little baby which had died not many hours before. Mr. C. B. Armstrong had taken the coffin from another vehicle and left the horse standing a minute or two while be was busy getting everything ready for shipment. At this juncture the horse took fright at a freight, which came lumbering in, and dashed back toward the store. As he turned he struck Mr. Turbyfill, who had the little boy in his arms, knocking the father one way and the child another. The wagon wheel ran over the child and the mother also was struck. A flesh wound or two near the ear and a few braises seemed to be the only injuries sustained by the child. Dr. C. E. Adams quickly patched up the wounds with court plaster, and when the train came the stricken family boarded it for their sorrowful journey. THE BOLOMAN. A Filipino Aftsasftin In Uuiform Who Kills In the Dark. Manila Cor. Chicago^ Record. Lieutenant Ara L. Reeves lies in the hospital now and his wife sits beside him. His foot is done up in bandages, one hand is bandaged also, and he has a strip of adhesive plaster on his face. The lieutenant is a victim of the boloman, and is about the first one who has lived to tell the tale. And he can best tell that tale. "Our company of the Seventeenth infantry has the hardest station there is at San Fernando," he said to me. "We have shooting there almost every night. Not firing to be replied to ; but enough to kefep us sure of the fact that the insurgents are there and that they would come at us if they were not watched like a hawk. So, you see, we have to be very careful about the disposition of our outposts and we have to know that all is well. "I suppose every man in charge of a company?mine is D company?visits his outposts every night. I have been in charge of that company for some time, and I assure you there never has a night passed that I have not been fully informed by observation as to the situation. This thing happened night before last. It was dark and rainiug, too. The walking was not good, as you may be sure with all the rain, and I was picking my way along as best I could. All at once I saw a shadowy form before me. There wasn't any parleying, either. I could see that it was a man, and felt, rather than saw, that he was a boloman." Mrs. Reeves here said something and the lieutenant smiled. "You see," he said, turning on his pillow so that he could look at me without effort, "she is going to be a regular fire-eater; but I don't believe she is half as blood-thirsty as she talks. I do not think I hit the fellow; but there is no way to prove it. "Well. I was on the defensive in an instant; but did not have time to draw my revolver before be made a lunge at me and was in arm's length. I believed that be had a knife in one hand. I was sure he had a revolver, for he fired point-blank at me, and I don't see why he did not get me. I felt the charge pass my face. But they say that 'a miss is as good as a mile.' At any rate, thiDgs were happening at such a pace that I didn't think much about it then. What I did realize was that I must get bold of( his hands, and quick, too. He cut me a little on the face,"?the lieutenant jerked his thumb toward the plaster on his cheek?"and then I caught his arms. He struck me on the wrist with the band which held the revolver and with my left hand I caught bis right. I was holding his hands, but he was holding the revolver and knife. I was holding bis knife band above my head, with the revolver hand down, and trying to throw him over backward. "We were whirling around and around like madmen at a waltz when he began to fire. He was trying to hit me in the stomach?and it would have been all day with me if be had?but I kept his hand where he would have to shoot toward the ground. I felt a bul1-4 ? " fVtnn folh on let gU 1ULU lliy iuui auu uuvu iviv other strike almost in the same place. That was three shots from his revolver, counting the one he fired at me when we first came together. I was counting those shots, and when he had spent two more, one of which cut through my bootleg and nipped my shin, I was pretty sure that he could not shoot again. "Then it was that he cut me on the hand. He could not stab and so hu worked the blade of the knife across the back of my wrist. I can assure you that it was anything but pleasant, that performance, and presently I thought he would cut himself loose. Then I began to force the fighting. I could not stand on my wounded foot; but I could use the knee. I proceeded to punch him in the stomach with it and pretty soon I felt him falling away from me. I gave him a push and let go his hands, both at once, and he was howled over into a bunch of banana plants. I pulled my revolver as quick as I could and began to fire. But my aim was not good, for so soon as the fellow was thrown and I attempted to stand on my foot I fell. "Just about that time one of the outposts came running up. He had heard the firing and was coming to my rescue. Be he came too late. He said he was but a minute on the way ; but he was more than that. It seemed to me that we were fighting for 10 minutes. Perhaps it was not as long as that; but it seemed an interminable time. "Oh, he got away. We thrashed around there ; but the fellow was hidden by the darkness, and had crawled into his lines. I wish I knew, for sure, whether I hit him. CARRYING CONCEALED WEAPONS. I? an Officer Entitled to More Privileged Than a Private Citizen. Atlanta Journal. The condemnation of the concealed weapon habit has grown so strong that it now extends in many localities to officers of i be law. An nffipcr has no more rieht to car ry a weapon concealed than has a private citizen ; but their habit of doing so has been tolerated. It must cease in South Carolina under a recent decision of the supreme court of that state. The city authorities of Laurens fined a constable for carrying a concealed pistol, The case was appealed to the circuit court, whichioverruled the decision of tho city authorities; but the supreme court has reversed the court, and henceforth any constable or other officer in South Carolina who may carry a concealed weapon is liable to indictment and punishment. I The decision of the supreme court in this case is heartily approved by the leading newspapers of the state, and it is said that the law against concealed weapons [ will be strictly enforced against constables, policemen and all other officers. The late Judge Bartlett, father of Congressman Bartlett, once presided at*the trial in Columbus of two policemen who bad killed a citizen. When the evidence disclosed the fact that the policemen drew their pistols from under their coats Judge Bartlett expressed great indignation. He inquired if was the habit of policemen of Columbus to carry their pistols confenlprl and nnnn heinc informed that | X Q it was he said that the grand jury should indict every one of them. Habit varies in this matter, though every state has a law against carrying concealed weapons. In most cities policemen and other officers of the law carry pistols concealed, and by common consent tbey are not interferred with for so doing, but in some cities the law requiriug all weapons to be clearly exposed is strictly enforced, and that must be done hereafter in South Carolina, unless the supreme court's interpretation of the law is ignored. CHICHESTER AT MANILA. British Admiral Tells How He Did Not Help Dewey. Saturday Evening Post. Sir Edwards Chichester (British navy) is a typical sea-dog, not at all the sort of man you would expect to be a master of diplomacy. His face is the color of mahogany, deepening into walnut, the effect of exposure to sud and storm. His voice has all the musical vibrance of a frog's croak, swelling now and then into the suggestion :of a foghorn. One could imagine how 'effectively such a voice would ring out on the quarterdeck. His speech was absolutely unreportable, because his words were as innocent as new milk, while his chuckle was one of the most eloquent things every heard, infecting [his audience like an epidemic. "I didn't help Admiral Dewey," he began with a cherubic look on his face. "In the first place I was not allowed to do so, and in the second, Dewey is a man who helps himself." (Chuckle and laughter from the audience.) "No ; it was the other way about; Admiral Dewey helped us, for he gave us fresh chow (fresh beef) when we hadn't any ; a pound of fresh chow a day to every man on our ships." (Chuckle.) "I don't know how he get all this fresh chow; often wondered." (Chuckle and appreciative laughter.) "Amazing man Dewey ; seemed to provide for all contingencies. I wanted to assist the German admiral; but Dewey was always so correct in everything that he gave no chance." (Chuckle.) "When the German admiral sent me word that he was coming aboard my ship to get me to join him in a protest against Admiral Dewey's action, I 1 1-? J ? ? Jr\?nl lam on/1 onroa H IOUKCU up luiri uauuuai iarr , uuu the books out on my cabin table, with the pages open and marked?all in a row?and when he came I said, 'what can I do? This American admiral is so deadly right in all be has done, and all he proposes to do, that if we protest we'll merely show that we don't understand the law.' And, of course, there was nothing to be done, and I did it." (Chuckle and roars of laughter.) "We had to cling to international law, you know." I There were tremendous cheerings when the British captain got down from the platform. Mark Twain said he bad never heard words so innocent and a chuckle so eloquent. Sir Edward, although by no means an old man, has seen considerable active service. He served in the Transvaal in 1881-82, was with the British forces in 1882, and went up the Nile with Lord Wolseley in the campaign of 1884-85, so that he thoroughly understands what fighting means, and besides this, as shown by his Mark Twain dinner speech, he is a clever diplomatist, which, to be sure, is a high virtue in a man who is knocking around the world in command of a first class, twin screw, 6,000-ton heavily armored cruiser. Cuba's Finances.?The war de partment gave out on Monday tor puolication an interesting statement of tbe financial condition of the island of Cuba. It shows that under tbe management or *he United States government the receipts of the island from January 1, 1899, to June 30, of the current year, exceed tbe expenditures by the very handsome sum of $1,480,021. This statement probably will be a surprise to many persons who thought that Cuba, under the military occupation of the United States, was not self-sustaining. During the period named the receipts from all sources were $6,982,010; disbursements, $5,501,988. Of the money disbursed $1,712,014 was expended in sanitation ; $505,263 in the erection and improvements of barracks and quarters ; $443,563 in the establishment, etc., of tbe rural guard and administration ; $250,674 on public works, harbors and forts ; $293,881 in charities and hospitals; $242,146, for civil government; $723,281 on munici palities ; $88,944 in aid of the destitute $42,205 in quarantine matters. Tota $4,448,924. The statement for July shows tha the customs collections in the entir island for July alone were $1,201,537 internal revenue collections, $56,351 postal collections, $15,000 ; miscellany ous collections, $65,435. Grand toti receipts for the month, $1,339,324 disbursements, $1,029,877. Advantages of the Nicaragu Canal.?Colonel N. F. Thompsoi secretary of the Huntsville, Ala chamber of commerce, in charge of tb committee on arrangements for the it dustrial convention to be held tbei early in October, received a letter lai Monday from Senator John T. Morga in reply to an invitation to address th gathering. It is quite likely that tb senator will attend the convention, a though he says he cannot make a pos tive promise at this time. The subject chosen for Senator Moi gan is the "Nicaragua Canal," and i relation to it he says: "The foreig markets are those we must reach 01 for if we would enjoy the full measur of our advantages. Towards the pr< motion of this policy nothing can b of greater advantage than a ship cant through the Isthmus of Darien, ao< that is now secured. I speak wit firm confidence in this great fact as a achievement that is accomplished i the secure foundations that have bee laid and only awaits, for a short perio< its completion. A cotton port at Mi nila that will enable us to reach tb nripnt. with our cotton and cottc goods and our provisions and supplii without the enormous expenditure v, are making and have so long endure in the tribute to Liverpool as our poii of distribution to Asiatic consumer must be a great factor in the progrei of American productions and mam fact u res. "The example of the wonderfi growth of Hong Kong, until it is tl third, if not the second, seaport in tt world, is a demonstration of what w can do in the Asiatic trade if we ava ourselves of advantages that ha> come to us even without our seekic them." Mismanagement In Manila.The censorship in the Philippini continues unchanged. It is politic) instead of military. The only friendly natives wboi your correspondent found on a soutl em tour were the Moros, who so ft are unwilling that the United Stat< should hold any territory except tt singled walled town of Sulu. Eve the non-combatants hate us. In Mi nila the native feeling against Amer cans is growing stronger every day. Taxes are higher in Manila than ui der Spanish rule, and the inhabitant bitterly complain. Living expense have doubled. The native police have been dii charged and Americans appointei whose administration is tyrannical an inefficient, because they are ignorai of the language and not familiar wit the perpetrators of crime. Murders and robberies, old inbabi ants say, are more numerous than eve before. Taxes and customs duties ai being used to support the army, ii stead of being applied to municipi necessities, mis reaiiy prolongs ic war by keeping the natives irritate after profuse promises of good goveri meat. The desire of the natives for Amer can rule, as officially reported, is n( borne out by the facts.?Hong Kon cable of Augnst 28 to the New Yor Herald. Senator Vest on Politics.?. special of August 29, from Toront< Canada, says: Senator Vest, of Missouri, now i Toronto, has been interviewed o American politics. He referred t President McKinley's speech at Ocea Grove, laying down the administri tion's policy as to expansion. M: Vest said the expansion question i causing misgivings in many statei Many prominent Democrats are i sympathy with the policy, while man leading Republicans are opposed to il How important these differences t opinion are will not be known unt after the election. Expansion is nc regarded favorably in the souther states, where there is great outer; against the fruit imported from Port Rico aud Cuba. The Imperialists sa these islands are great markets fo American manufactures. "This is an illusory view," said Mi Vest, "and at best a prediction." As to the coming campaign, Mi Vest says the silver question is by n means dead. It was never mor prominent as an issue than it is today This is shown by the Tammany de monstration of July 4, when Mr. Hog made his famous speech. In the wes land south the silver agitation is mor determined than in 1896, and ttn question will be a leading issue nex year, and it is more than likely that i will receive more popular suppor than it did three years ago.
