Why He Quit Politics.?"Talk
about the hardships of a political life,"
said a recent seeker for political hon- <
ors, according to the Philadelphia Call,
"your newspaper advertisers got me
up against one good and bard. How ,
was it ? Well, this is the first time I J
have been iu the field, and I have been
striving to please everybody and advertise
myself a little. My wife has
tried to aid me, and one of her aids led (
to my undoing, because she did not
consult me first. Every now and then j
I had been accustomed to taking a lit- ,
tie drop of whisky. My wife is oppo- ^
sed to this and tells everybody I am (
strictly temperate."
His speech at this point was broken (
off to let a comprehensive wink and (
broad smiles chase each other over bis
countenance. j
"Well, to continue. Oue morning
an oblong package was left at my office, j
I opened it and found a quart bottle of j
whisky, and, sampling it, found it .
pretty fair. There was a little note j
inclosed, asking for a testimonial, and
so I dashed off one and sent it at once.
u,iri T Kama m V Yt/ifp
"Vvneu x aiu(e<i uuiuv, ***j t
said, 'John, a bottle came for you this
morniDg, and a9 it wanted a testimonial,
I sent the company a note right
away.'
"Slore whisky, I thought, when lo !
and behold, it proved to be a bottle of
gold cure for alcoholism. Well, next
morning I made a dive for the paper,
and on opening it, saw my finish.
There, both on one page, was a villianous
picture of me, saying that I
recommended Old Potato Whisky, and
on the other column a fairly good picture
saying that as an apostle of temperance
I recommended Screey's Gold
Cure.
"I have been out of politics ever
since that day."
Yes?What??A good story is going
the rounds at Harvard college,
concerning a last year's graduate; a
dutiful son and an industrious student,
yet withal a somewhat liberal youth, j
At the beginning of his concluding c
year his father, who was just setting c
out for Europe, said to him : G
"Now, Harry, you get your degree, 8
and I'll seud for you to come over and j
travel all summer." t
Harry was delighted. "Father," t
said he, "I will." He studied faithful v
ly all the college year, aDd in June t
went through with flying colors. Then e
be cabled his father: .
"Yes." ,
But the father, alas ! had forgotten c
his impulsive offer. He mused over the v
message, wondered, and then cabled ^
back : n
"Yes, what?" c
The son was in turn perplexed ; but t
being a well-trained lad, he did not re- g
main long in the dark, and fired by c
duteous zeal, cabled back : s
"Yes, sir."
Letters of explanation followed, and ,
he is now making the "grand tour." ^
Legal Advice.?"Before I agree to jj
undertake your defence," said the emi- t
neot criminal lawyer who bad been G
called in, "you will have to be perfect- g
ly frank with me and tell me the whole
truth. Did you embezzle the $20,000 ;
"in aro nnrtised of having taken ?" p
J ~ JJ
"Yes, sir," replied the accused man. ^
"I'll not attempt to conceal the fact ^
from you. I stole every cent of it." ^
"How much of it have you still ?" ^
"It's all gone but about $10." c
"Young man," said the emiuent j(
lawyer, buttoning his overcoat about .
him and puttiug on his gloves, "you'd
better plead guilty and throw yourself c
on the mercy of the court. ^
"I'll do it if you say so, sir. What ?
are you going to charge me for the ad- ^
vice ?
"Ten dollars." g
She Read the Tongue.? How "
many of us, when performing some j
difficult or painstaking feat with the .
hands, work the mouth in rhythmical j
contortions : Good News tells a story j
for our warning. 2
"The scene is laid in the school j
room during the writing lesson.
"Please, ma'am," speaks up a little ^
girl, "Johnny Smart is makin' mistakes
in his writing lesson." ,
"How do you know that, Ellen?" ^
asks the teacher.
"There's three capital S's in the c
copy today, and he's making L's."
"Why, you can't see Johnny's pen."
"No'ra ; but I can see his tongue." *
Vain Regret.?The. wisdom of J
"letting well enough alone" seems to '
be the moral of this dialogue, quoted *
by the Chicago Tribuue : '
"Did you step on one of those weigh- '
ing machines when you were down 1
town, Johnny ?" ?
"Yes'm. Weighed myself on two f
of 'em." '
"What did you do that for?"
"Wanted to be sure about it." 1
"Did you weigh the same on both ?" 1
"No'm. Fifty-nine pounds on one, s
nnd fil on the other." |l
"You foolish boy ! You've wasted \
a cent on one of the machines, and you '
don't know which one."
A Hot Prayer.?The Roauoke 1
News prints the following fervent '
prayer which a colored minister made '
in behalf of a fellew minister: "O, '
Lord, gib him the eye ob be eagle dat '
he may spy out sin a far off. Lay his '
hands on de gospel plow. Tie his J
tongue on the line of truth. Nail his *
ear on de gospel pole. Bow his head (
down between his knees and his knees '
way down in some lonesome, dark and ^
narrow valley where prayer is much 1
wanted to be made. Noint him with
de gerosene ile of salvation and sot j
him on fire."
Teacher?As the twig is bent
the tree is inclined. Do you under- !
stand what that means? Scholar? i
Yes, sir. When bicyclists grow up i
they'll walk stooping.

TRANSVAAL TIDBITS.
ne Very Delicate Dishes Devoured by the
Kaffirs.
A Germau missiouary, who has just
urued from South Africa, recently
livered a lecture before the Berlin
ographical Society in which he
tught forward the following partictrs
concerning the peculiar diet of
> native savages of the Transvaal,
tecially as noticed among the Basu.,
the tribe which is now threatening
take up arms against the Boers.
Dne of their most cbaracteri-tic bunts
:be mouse hunt. Twenty to thirty
sutos gather together; they march
carrying strips of nets made by
;m for this purpose, and accompaid
by a large number of their dogs,
jut whose bodies different sized bells
5 bound. The dogs make a oig
eep round ihe countryside, while the
sutos attach their various strips of
I iuto one long semi-circular harrier,
i lower part of which is piuued to
i ground. Then, crouching upou
i ground and holding their sticks
tdy, they await the coming of the
ce. These, frightened by the bells
ngling from the dogs, gradually draw
arer aud nearer to the net, along
lich they are at last found running
a vain effort to discover an opemu
uugh which they may escape,
ben the number of these victims is
iieiently great a shrill cry is emitted
the chief, the net is pushed forward
along the liue and the struggling
:atures caught in the meshes of the
t are unmercifully whipped to death
the jubilant savages.
Monkeys constitute one of their farite
tid-bits, which are all the more
preciated as they are not so readily
lght.
snakes are simply killed with blows
in a switch aud are generally in
;h favor. According to the missiouf
their popularity is well deserved.
! himself took part in a meal in
iich snakes formed the chief uitraon,
and found that this animal could
favorably compared with a prime
Most popular of all delicacies, how?r,
are the caterpillars. It is not
usual to learn of a quarrel which
? broken out among the natives for
;ir possession. Whereas we should
thankful to any one removing catd
liars from anv of our trees, this
, among the Basutos constitutes a
ious larceny. The missionary fur?r
explained that a thief who hail
in captured before he could dispose
his booty was compelled by the
lef of the tribe to restore all the
erpillars discovered in his possesu
to their original position on the
es of their rightful owners, where
iy could acquire the necessary fat5s
for their appearance in the bill of
e. Equally valuable are the great
'lists. The most favorable time for
cbing them are the early morning
d late evening hours, when their
ngs are heavy with dew and they
s unable to see clearly. The chilin
of the mission, numbering about
D, having organized a locust hunt,
:ceeded one day in capturing no less
in 160 pounds of these insects, which
re consumed with the greatest avidbefore
the day had passed.
A.t certain times of the year the
?at, white winged ants leave the
rth aud it is then that a most zeals
competition arises between the
iffir childreu and the chickens of the
Dp, for the possession of the prized
>rsels. It is at such times that the
iflir youngsters may be seen running
out with their mouths stuffed full of
ants and, if lht> chase has been espe
pecially successful, with both fists alsi
full of these succulent dainties.
A RIVER UP GOLD.
That I? What Some Miner* Seem to H<
lleve of the Catawba.
The Catawba is not only to be har
nessed ; but dredged. The forme
movement has been agitated fron
time to time and is now the questioi
of the hour in more than oue VVal
street office. The promoter in th<
latter enterprise is Mr. Thos. F. Walk
er, of this city.
A year or more ago, Mr. Walke
worked in and about the mines alotij
the river at the head of Paw Creek
and "made fine wages all summer get
ting gold out of the river." Thi
"put him to thinking," he says, am
his thinking resulted in the formaiim
of a company, to be known as th<
Catawba Placer Mining company, witl
William L. Scott, of Wilmington, Del.
president and secretary ; W. C. Ken
um, of Georgia, manager of tbe Dredg<
boat; T. F. Walker, assistant manager
The company is to dredge the Cataw
ha in the search of gold. The com
pany has already secured a lease 01
nine miles of the river. When Mr
Walker dredged the river several sum
mers ago, evep with crude appliances
he got out a ton of earth a day. Th<
new machinery which the compan;
has purchased is guaranteed to wash i
ton a minute.
"Is there really any gold in the riv
er?" asked the reporter of Mr. Walk
er. "Why, there is just plenty of it,1
he answered.
Carpenters are to be sent out fron
Wilmington, Del., to build the dredg<
boat. Work on it to begin right away
and the machinery to be placed a
soon as possible." Messrs. Scott am
Kenum, of the Bridge Boat company
arrived here la9t night on No. 38, th<
vestibule, and spent part of today ber
going out to Walker's ferry, the poin
where the machinery is to be placed a

PHOTOGRAPHY
IS -A.3NT ART
AND it takes an artist to be a photo- .
grapher. One who is not an artist
doesn't stand much of a chance of making
a succeSh at photography. I have
given years of study to this especial line
and I can say with pride that my work
will compare favorab ly with that of any
photographer in this section.
The best and most perfect photographsare
the results of experience and not experiments.
I do all of my developing,,
retouching and finishing, thereby obtaining
the best possible results.
As Far As Prices
Are concerned, yon need not worry yourself
along that score. I know that my
prices are reasonable and you will agreewith
me when I tell you what they are.
I am also prepared to develop and print
pictures taken with pocket cameras. 'If
you have a Kodak or Vive or any other
camera, and for any reasor you can't develop
and printyour pictures, bring them
to me at my gallery on West Liberty
street. J. R. SCHORB.
