tumorous department. Ephralm'i Bailncvi Way. "No, there wasn't much romance about Ephralm," said the postmaster, stroking his beard thoughtfully. Ephralm had been the great man of the town, and his death the day before had called out reminiscences, to which the postmaster seemed anxious to contribute. "I don't s'pose if you'd biled Ephralm or put him under the stone breaker you could have drawn a tear out of him. Never saw him laugh. Likely enough he never kissed his wife or one of his children. "And yet he wasn't a mean man or a hard man. I cal'late he often laughed or cried inside, but twasn't his way . to show it. And he was a natural-born business man, up ana aown, top iu iue, and that partly accounts for It, too. "D'ye yer hear now he pupposed to Aunt Eleanor, his wife? Happens 1 know, because she and my wife was cousins, and the perseedn' tickled Eleanor so't she had to tell of It. "Ephraim wasn't ever a talkative feller, and he didn't go around much with the other young folks. Just stayed home and 'tended to his knittin' work, as it ware, but he was well thought of by everybody, and Eleanor and her pa and ma always made him welcome. "So he came in sort o' casual one p'tic'l&r Sat'day night and set around as usual, puttin' in a word now and then, till Eleanor's pa went out to see a sick cow he had and Eleanor's ma started off up chamber somewheres. And then Ephraim speaks up all at once and he says: "I'd kind o' like to marry you, Eleanor,' says he. "Sho!' says she. 'Would ye?' She was dumfounded and couldn't think of anything else to say. " 'Yes, I would,' says he. He never moved out of his chair, but he looked her rieht sauare in the eve. reel friend ly. 'I've got a place o' my own, ye know?rented, but I can take It back, most anytime?and J250 out on lnterust, and enough besides to stock the place. I make ye an offer,' he says, 'and I'll hold It open for ye till next Sat'day night.' "Eleanor was starin' at him all the time, mind ye, with her mouth open. And before she could get any word to put Into It, 'It's time I was gettin' along home,' Ephraim says, 'so I'll bid ye good night, Eleanor.' "Well, that was all there was to It. First off, Eleanor was mad at his makin' an offer so-fashlon, and leavln' It open jest such a time, 's though he had been dickering for a yoke of steers. But when she came to think It over she realized it was only Ephralm's way, and she believed he liked her, and she knew she liked him, and so she took him up, and neither of 'em was ever sorry for it. "No, Ephraim didn't make love romantic?no gettin* down on his knees and writln' poetry and sech-like doin's. But if you ever see a woman better provided for and more uplifted and more waited on by inches, than Aunt Eleanor was, I'd like to have ye p'int her out. "Actions speak louder than words, they say, and I cal'late that's true. There's women in this town would be willin' to foreret thev was married if they could be treated like human bein's now."?Youth's Companion. His Words Backed Up His Looks.? This amusing story is told by the president of a New Bedford bank. One day not long ago he and other officers and directors were engaged in a business meeting, held in the directors' room of the bank, and as they believed themselves secure from intrusion they were much surprised to see a poor little waif enter the room?something which any man of business affairs would not dare to do under such conditions. The little girl, shabbily dressed and pinchedlooking, had all unconsciously entered on forbidden ground, but this she didn't realize, and at once went to the men seated about the big table, offering them small cakes of soap for sale. The first director whom she approached shook his head, and said sharply, "I never use it." The tiny peddler, unabashed, went from man to man?all the others, out of pity for her wan little figure, buying of her. As she started to leave the room, after thanking each purchaser, the girl hesitated a moment in front of the director who never used soap, according to his own declaration, and looking him over from head to foot, said, disdainfully: "Well, yer look it!" and then she swept out like a duchess.?Boston Herald. How His Bagpipe Took Whiskv.? A Highland laird who could not afford to keep his own piper, was accustomed to employ the village piper when he had company. On one occasion, through some oversight, Donald had not been given his preliminary glass of whisky before he began his performance. Accordingly he found his bagpipe in a most refractory temper. The laird asked him what was the matter with it. and Donald replied that the leather was so hard that he could do nothing with it. "What will soften it?" asked the anxious laird. "Och! just whisky." said Donald. A tumbler of whisky was at once brought, which Donald immediately drank. "You rascal." said the laird, "did you not say it was for the bagpipes?" "Och. yess, yess," said Donald, "but she will be a ferry peculiar pipes this. She aye likes it blawed in."?Highland Ragpipe. It Reached Him.?a letter was received at the postofflce in Washington directed to the biggest fool in that city. The postmaster was absent, and on his return one of the younger clerks informed him of the receipt of the letter. "And what became of it?" Inquired lilt' |)UMIIIdSlCI. "Why," replied the clerk. "I didn't know who the biggest fool in Washington was. so I opened it myself." "And what did you find in it?" inquired the postmaster. "Find?" replied the clerk. "Why. nothing but the words.

Rock Hill Herald, November 15: A flock of wild pigeons, the first the scribe has seen in more than a quarter of a century, passed over Rock Hill just after daylight Thursday morning Older citizens say that as early as 3f or 40 years ago thousands or tnes? birds were to be seen In the forestt every winter Rev. Walter L. Llngle, who had been called to the pastorate of the First Presbyterian church Ir thij city, has declined to accept. Ir a letter to the officers and members ol the church, received from Mr. Linglc yesterday, he signified this purpose; but stated that he was highly pleasec with both the church and the town and had no objection on this score After weighing the matter for nearlj two weeks, he has concluded that his duty is in Dalton rather than In Rocl Hill, and he will remain there. Th< church at Rock Hill was unanimous ir its call to Mr. Lingle, and his decisior is very much regretted by all concerned The Times says the friends 01 Mr. R. V. Macon, the Fort Mill agem of the Southern railway, who is reported to be short in his accounts, clalnr that he will be able to satisfactorily explain the shortage in his accounts that he has not misappropriated anj of the company's funds, and that h< has not in his possession one cent ol the money which is unaccounted ror Whatever may be thought about th< Amos Owens Cherry Tree Co.'s schems to make money or that of Smith, th< FJorida publisher, it seems to be certain that the checks sent out by thes< people are being paid all right. Th< scheme is certainly along lines as saf( and as free from the charge of gambling as dealing in cotton futures, or o! that other practiced by a number 01 reputable merchants, in which a certair number of coupon books were to b< sold and the seller would obtain drj goods as pay for her labors. The Smitt scheme and the Amos Owens Cherrj Tree Co.'s schemes have the merit ol giving a number of needy women and girls employment, and not a few hav< been very greatly benefitted by having engaged in the business. We do noi defend the schemes as being all right but for the present there has been nt "failure" of the projectors of either ol the "schemes" referred to to carry out their promises; at least as far as we have information this is true. How long until failure may come we think is a question nobody knows anything about. Many of the women seem tc have confidence and are going aheae] trying to make "a little pin money.' We have no feeling that our womer are engaged in a swindling scheme and hope they may grow so rich that ma> be able to establish a bank with thousands of paid-up capital A telegram from Washington says that th< case of Capt. W. P. Crawford, of Chester,. whose application for a commission in the regular army has been held up because he refused to wed Miss Rebecca Douglas, of Chester, after all arrnnfi-ements had been made, will b( given a close investigation before a final statement is made. Mr. Crawford appeared at the war department Wednesday. While he declined tc make public his reasons for breaking off the marriage, he asked that thert be filed a letter he wrote his prospective bride the day before the wedding day had been set. The secretary ol war has decided that it was only justice to comply with Mr. Crawford's request, Inasmuch as there is no othei charge against him, while Mr. Crawford claims he was fully justified in his act. The young woman will be notified to file a copy of the letter at once. Tht following is from the Charlotte News of Thursday: "Capt. W. P. Crowford passed through Charlotte this morning, returning from Washington to hit home in Chester. Capt. Crawford would not say anything for publication; but it is surmised that his cast will be re-opened and he will agair have an opportunity to explain his actions. It is learned that Capt. Crawford has filed with the war department an answer to the charges made against him and that his case is not nearlj so bad as was at first pictured." GASTON. Gastonla News, November 15: Mrs J. S. A.

It may be set down definitely that as . far as the isthmian canal is concerned the period of Investigation is over. It > has been the standing claim of canal . enthusiasts that whenever they wanted , legislation for a canal they got legis, lation for an Investigation instead. 1 The latest, however, was Justifiable. A | . rider to appropriate J140.000.000 for the construction of the canal was, in the . last few months of congress, added to > the river and harbor bill?not that they . loved the canal bill more, but that . they loved the harbor bill less. Mr. ; Burton caused the item to be amended . to $1,000,000 for an investigation. . There have been three great investi- 1 gating committees within six years, j , the Ludlow, the Walker and the pres- J . ent Isthmian. The first-named two de- ] voted themselves to the Nicaraguan i route, while the present commission, ( ; availing itself of the Nicaraguan data i of the Walker commission, has swept . the field and seriously considered i every project which has even the J i smallest claim to attention. ' I Few maps are more interesting than { I one at the offices of the commission showing in red ink lines the various ( canal routes which have been at one . . time or another suggested. Some of : them extend far into the continent of * ' South America and by a longer route avail themselves of the rivers and nat. ural waterways of that region. These t routes have lessened in Importance vith the Increasing size of ocean .vessels, and still the commission has not leglected any proposal that might per:hance have some surprising posibilties wrapped up in it. The San Bias route, not many miles south of the Panama, has had, first md last, many advocates. It is the shortest link between the two oceans, md as such appeals to investigators, rhe present commission found, however, that there was no way of getting through its mountains except by a tunnel four or five miles long, the disadvantages of which are so obvious as to make the route wholly inpractlcat>le. Exploring parties under the commission have run many lines across the isthmus of Darien with the conclusion that nothing can be found to compare with the two well established routes, the Nicaraguan and the Panama. The results of these minor investigations will appear in the final report. It has now been decided not to complete this report until it is necessary to submit it to congress. The commission will, accordingly, keep the data in its own hands for some time, thus affording the very fullest opportunity for the French people to submit their best and most definite proposal. The thing that seems to be sticking in the minds of the commission just now is how far to veer toward the advocacy of the Panama route. It is not THEP I |t| i_T 1 1^11.T,.t T..t f.

Valnable State Rellce. ^uiurnum special ui ouiuruuy IU ? xie News and Courier: In looking over some of the Revolutionary records in the State House today, Clerk Gantt, of the office of the secretary of state, made two valuable finds. The first was the the original will of General Francis Marion, dated October 16, 1797, and re-dated July 16, 1792. The entire will is in General Marion's own chlrography and is regarded as one of the most valuable records in the possession of the state. The other document was the original letter of John Rutledge resigning his judicial office in this state upon his elevation to the bench of the supreme court of the United States. It was not known until today that either of these documents was to be found among the archives of the state. t5T TAKE COUGH EASE. It Cores. Y OHK DRUG STORES.
