Most of the time he was busy about business matters and had little leisure to devote to recreation. He worked up until late at night and n was up again early in the morning. S Finally, on Saturday evening he g came rushing into the hotel office and b asked what time the next train left for n the south. He was told it left at 7.30 T o'clock. It was then 6 o'clock. i< "All right," he answered excitedly, n "I've got to catch it. You can send a '< bite up to our room and get our bag- a gage as soon as possible. Let me have s my bill." t! He was told that dinner would be d sent up-stalrs in ten minutes and that tl the baggage would be taken care of at s< once. Also that his bill would be ready tl when he came down. w He took the elevator and presently 1 caught a few bites to eat. Then he su- e perintended the removal of his bag- i< gage from the room, including his n wife's big trunks. That done he hur- ii ried down to the hotel office to write a n few letters and send a telegram or two. He was still busy dictating when a ii porter approached and told him that it lacked only 15 minutes to train time ii and that his carriage was waiting. a He rushed out and got into the car- t< riage, which Immediately started south 3 for the 12th street station at a rapid b rate. The carriage had gone several 0 blocks when the single passenger open- t ed the door, leaned out and began to J yell at the driver to stop. . * "What's the matter, sir?" asked the 1 driver. "We have no time to lose, f Have you forgotten anything?" c "Forgotten anything?" cried the pas- o senger. "I should think I had. I've forgotten my wife. Drive back to the t hotel." It cost the man from New Orleans h several dollars to keep the story from * getting out until after he left for the b south. He explained to his wife, who n was half distracted at his absence, that 3 he had been called out of the hotel on 3 business, and that they would wait un- d til Sunday evening before taking the 3 train.?Chicago Tribune. '' Early Justice In Idaho.?Judge W. B. Heyburn, of Wallace, Idaho, who comes to Washington oil maters before the supreme court, registered at the New Willard during the week. "Contrary to eastern impressions." " said Judge Heyburn, "we are develop- t ing quite a high state of civilization in Idaho. It is not very long ago, however, that conditions were rather crude ^ in our parts. We had a Judge on the bench out there who was an unterrifled y product, I assure you. He had never read law, but had picked up in some mining camp a copy of the statutes of British Columbia, and he adjudicated cases by that code and some of his rul- r ings were bizarre. One day a chicken ? peddler drifted that way from another state and was promptly arrested. " 'You are fined $50 for selling chick- * ens without a license,' said the judge, r when he had heard the evidence. " 'But I haven't that much money,' a wailed the defendant. d " 'Make it twenty-five, then,' declared 11 the judge. n " 'I haven't even that amount,* fal- * tered the pedler. P " 'How much have you got?' demand- 11 ed the judge. a " 'Just thirteen dollars and fifty ^ cents,' replied the defendant. P " "The prisoner is ordered to pay a b fine of $13.50,' exclaimed the judge, 'and his chickens are confiscated to the court.' "That night a penniless pedler went ^ sobbing out of the village and an un- * worthy judge regaled himself and his ^ friends on the appropriated fowls. I v am glad to add that a higher sense of 1 .

A rich Irishman decided s to try Delmonlco's for the first time. ** As he sat down his atention was at- r traeted by a man at the next table who was reading a newspaper and eating a from a dish of olives. When three or r four had disappeared the new comer * turned to the waiter and said: "What's them he's eating?" "Olives, sir." e "Bring me two dozen." v When they came the Irishman slap- 1 ped two of them irvto his mouth and be- s gan to chew. Suddenly he spat them ^ out, stones and all. He looked at the r man, who was calmly eating away. r Then he went over and touched him on r the shoulder and said: "Excuse e me. sir, but do you like them things?" r "Yes, sir." ' "You's a liar." r His Sweetheart's Letter.?A colo- x nel, on his tour of inspection, unexpect- 1 edly entered the drill-room, when he 1 came across a couple of soldiers, one ? of them reading a letter aloud, while the other was listening, and, at the same time stopping up the ears of the e reader. "What are you doing here?" the puz- ^ z!ed officer inquired of the former. "You see, colonel, I'm reading to Ad- s kins, who can't read himself, a letter 0 which has arrived by this afternoon's 6 post from his sweetheart." "And you, Adkins, what in all the ? world are you doing?"

It took its name from old Uncle Tommie Belk, who did more t< educate the youth of that day than anj man while living. May his kindness never be forgotten. It was at this school that I first met Montgomery Many were the days we played together and swung on the grape vine swing when little boys, and when the crue war began we were still in our teens We volunteered in the same company under Captain Barnes, Company I 12th S.

Character Sketch of Anderaon'* FamouM Statesman. There is a warm child of nature ir Charleston today. Citizen Josh, sur named Ashley, has come to town. Ii there be any among us so benighted a: to know not the identity of Josh Ash ley, it is proper to inform him tha Josh is a member of the legislatun from Anderson county, a successfu farmer and the dispenser of a line o diction which makes up in pith wha it lacks in polish. Josh Ashley is a unique character The flavor of the %oil permeates hi; rhetoric; the tang of the wood-land! pervades his parts of speech and throt ties English grammar. He is not i handsome man; nor is he ugly enougl to hurt. He wears a florid face anc a wool hat. His hair and mustache ar< rpri TTIa mrmfVi ta tnn nnmarAiia ie mention. He has a magnificent sel of teeth which have contributed n( little to his fame. He is a trifle below the average height; but above II in weight. His neck is muscular ant thick, indicating . strength and lifeeverlasting. His hands are large hairy and freckled, and he has a grlj that would make most men curl up like a watch spring. Josh is now about 4i years old; but he is as virile as a young Hercules. He was found in the wilderness near Honea Path, Anderson county, in 1890, by B. R. Tillman and he speedily developed an amazing thirst for politics. In those days came Benjamin Rycn Tillman, a plain farmer from Edgefield, preaching the gospel of retrenchment and reform. A hot political revival followed. Josh Ashley was one of the first and most enthusiastic converts. He thought Ben Tillman was the personification of probity and a leader from Leadersville. Tillman couldn't make a speech within 50 miles of Honea Path without Josh Ashley gracing the occasion with his presence. And when Benjamin becran to frv the conservatives In language chaste and seemly, Citizen Josh could be heard shouting above the tumult: "Hit 'em agin, Guvner; dats de God's truf." And yet. Josh owes his first term in the legislature to the vote of the conservatives in Anderson county. It vas done for a joke. Tillman had the majority of the sons of toil by the scruff of the neck. The chances for a conservative candidate were not visible to the unclothed eye, as the modest spinster expressed it. It was then that Josh Ashley " 'lowed" he'd run for the legis lature. At that time Josh could neither read nor write. For that reason the Tillmanites did not receive the announcement of his candidacy with enthusiasm. One of them twitted him In i ihis wise: i "7ou go to the legislature, Josh," he exclaimed with a laugh: "Why you can't wrltt vour name." "I knowed tne? without you telling me," retorted Josh. 'And you kin go to an Anderson bank and write your name on a-note and It won't be wuth five cents; but if I put my mark on it, vou kin ?ret all the money you want." And this was true. ' But the conservatives resolved to : vote for Josh. They had no candidates of their own, so they played him to f win since his election would be a joke . on the Tlllmanites and add to the glory i and renown of their delegation to the ' legislature. "When the votes were counted Josh was "it." Some few I Tlllmanites could not help supporting him for wool hat and one gallus reai sons, and this, with the conservative ' vote enabled Josh to harpoon victory. I That was in 1892, and since then, excep1 ting one term, Citizen Josh has been a member of the "legislatur," and his admirers say he can make laws as easily as he can break them. When Josh rears up on the floor of the house to do a few Demosthenean stunts he ladles out an assortment of ' talk that is not infrequently crowded ' with hard, horse sense. What he knows ' about political economy and the science of government signifies nothing, but in ' dealing with practical propositions that are not beyond his ken Josh can make a "spooch" that is anything else but ? flat, stale and unprofitable. > In the fullness of time Josh's affee1 tion for Benjamin R. Tillman began to ' suffer for lack of proper nourishment, t The Edgefield politician was comfortably ensconced in the U. S. senate and ' he began tq^give Josh cold and repel lent glances. The latter recalled the 1 many golden promises that Benjamin had made and did not hesitate to ret buke him for his deeds of omission. " But Tillman was too wise to monkey J with Josh; he merely gave him the in5 different eye and the inattentive ear. 1 Josh " "lowed" he'd play another favor ite. When the McLaurin bandwagon ' came rattling down the pike of oppor3 tunity, Josh flagged it and fought his 3 way to a front seat. And now he says he is "jest as happy as a big sunflow er that nods and shines in the breezes." > In Anderson county Josh Ashley Is I regarded as a formidable proposition in a fisticuff. He is chiefly feared since r when he has a fight on his hands he . manifests an alarming tendency to bite. And if Josh's powerful jaws s were to fasten on some important part 1- ?IJ ? or a man s anatomy 11 wouiu (jiuuuuij i mean a case for the coroner. s Back in the early 9us Josh Ashley and J. L. Farmer, of Anderson, clash? ed on a train while en route home from t Greenville, where a big political powi wow had been held. Farmer was an ' anti-Tillmanite and was known to be I not afraid of anything human or otherl wise. Josh was lusting for trouble; ' Farmer was in a mood to deal out sud den death to anybody who craved it. Josh tackled him; they hitched. Fight? Very much so, thank you. Above the - roar of the train and the noise of the combat, Josh's teeth could be heard snapping as he strove to clamp down i on his opponent's ear or nose. It was f even reported that Josh's teeth were r seen to strike fire; but this story could J not be verified. Anyhow, Farmer was ' able to take care of himself until pasi sengers interfered and stopped the 3 battle. However, it was a great scuffle, one of the many in which Josh has i olayed a star role. This is not Josh Ashley's first trip to Charleston. He was here several years i ago with a number of members of the legislature, and he had at least one unhappy experience. The party were taken for a sail around the harbor. Josh got seasick. When the boat returned to the wharf and Josh found himself " on terra flrma, he was asked how he enjoyed the sail. i "Hit was all right," he replied, weak ly; "but, my God, how I did fling up." f Josh recently announced himself a 3 candidate for the state senate. He - will make a hot canvass of his county t and astonish the "dear peepul" with - linguistic fireworks.?Charleston Post, 1 February 7. t WHY FAILURES OCCUR. , Interesting Data on the Interesting 3 snttject. 3 The following interesting data on the subject of failures throughout the 1 country, was furnished a representai tive of the Chattanooga Times by Man1 ager Close, of Bradstreet's agency, yesi terday afternoon: > "The saying that a man is the archit tect of his own fortune, and that, gen> erally speaking, the individual trader possesses within himself the elements t of success or failure in the world, has I been very effectively demonstrated in preceding discussions of this sub. wherein the leading causes of business > embarrassment have been analyzed. i For the benefit of those who have not > followed this great matter closely, how> ever, it might be stated that experience over a period of years has shown that the causes of commercial embarra3S> ment may be classed under the follow. ing eleven heads, close study of which is invited in order that the reader may i become familiar with their application , to the matter in hand: "A?Due to faults of those failing: (1). Incompetence (irrespective of . other causes). "(2). Inexperience (without other incompetence). i "(3). Lack of capital. "(4). Unwise granting of credit, i "(5). Speculation (outside of regular ousiness). "(6). Neglect of business (due to doubtful habits), i "(7). Personal extravagance. i "(8). Fraudulent disposition of property. "B.?Not due to faults of those falling: "(9). Specific conditions (disaster, etc.) "(10). Failure of others (of apparently solvent debtors). "(11). Special or undue competition. > "Eight of the eleven causes, it will be observed, may properly be classed as proceeding from, or attributable to, the trader himself, while the remaining three may just as clearly be said to be beyond his control. Of the failures reported In the United States during the past year 71.4 per cent, were reported due to one or more of the first eightmentioned causes?In other words, more than seven-tenths were due to faults of those failing, while 28.6 per cent, were due to faults of others. This, it 13 to be noted, is rather a different showing from that made in 1890, when fully 77.4 per cent, was due to the faults of the traders themselves and 22.6 per cent, was due to the faults of others. Tfce closest approach to this showing made of recent years Is found to be that of 1898, when 70 per cent, was due to faults or weaknesses of the traders themselves and 30.3 per cent, to others."?Chattanooga Times.
