^tumorous department. The General Wa? Appended. Another personality that figures perhaps in more stories than aiiy other soldier is General T , whose vocabulary, extensive and peculiar, is the subject of many stories. In the general advance towards Pretoria one of the most polished of outgenerals, seeing a solitary horseman riding along under a heavy fire, sent an orderly to tell "that fool" to get under cover if he did not wish to be shot. The orderly returned with the information that he had delivered his message and that the horseman had said many wierd things, among which was the intelligence that he was General T . " ' The polite general was pained that he had made the mistake, and asked the orderly whether General T was much offended. "Much offended, sir!" said Atkins gleefully; "why he told me to go?that is to say, sir, I couldn't have salc\ it better myself!" General T is a stickler for discipline, and during his term of command in one of the big Free State towns lie gave strict orders that officers arriving at the station should report themselves either personally to him or to his staff officer, or to his A. D. C. His staff officer at the tirtie was a gentleman by no means favored of nature in the matter of good looks, added to which he was a man of morose and taciturn disposition. .The A. D. C. was a gilded youth with a drawl and a vacant stare. There arrived in the town commanded by the general an officer of one of the Bushmen corps, rough of language and fearless of gold lace. It happened he was taking a morning liquor at the club when the general entered and was passing through the room in which the colonel stood, when he noticed that the Australian's face was unfamiliar, "Hi, you, sir," he roared, "who the devil are your' The Colonial rose and saluted. "Captain J , sir," he replied, "3d Victorians." "When did you arrive?" demanded the general. "Yesterday, sir," was the reply. "Why have you not reported yourself to me, sir?" demanded T , adding a rider condemnatory to his listener's visual organs. The Colonial was riled. "I went to your office; you were not in, but I saw two officers." "Who were they?" "I don't know their names," said the Colonial. "Describe them, then," said General T . "Well," said the Colonial desperately, for he had no grift of language, "one was an ugly looking devil with a beastly temper?" "Good," interrupted T , "that's my staff officer." "And the other," continued the Australian, "was a silly ass of a chap with an eyeglass." "Right you are, my boy,' said the satisfied general, "the idiot's my A. D. C. Sorry to have troubled you."?London Mail .Correspondence. Senator Manon Tell* a Story. Senator Mason, the rotund statesman from Illinois, told a story today, says the Washington correspondence of the Philadelphia North American, about a friend or bis, tJiii vissener oy name, a newspaper man of Chicago. Visscher, he said, was in Deadwood, S. D., before that state had been cut in two, and was a victim of exceeding bad luck. He had no money, and was walking the streets wondering how he could get a drink of whisky to cheer him up. He saw a number of miners and cowboys enter a saloon, and noticing that they were particulary disreputable in appearance and all carried guns, he followed them in. When he got inside he addressed the assemblage without waiting for the formality of an introduction. "Gentlemen," he said, "I have just witnessed a most deplorable incident. In a saloon down the street a man with a gun forced an unarmed stranger from the east to take a drink of whisky, even though the stranger protested that he had never tasted liquor in his life, and was morally opposed to its use. Now," said Visscher, glaring around him, "I would like to see some one try to make me take a drink against my will." He had hardly uttered the words, when there was a pistol shot, and a bullet buried itself in the floor at his feet. "Hold on," he shouted. "You have me at a disadvantage. I left my gun at the hotel." "Never mind that," said the man who had fired the shot. "Here, barkeeper," he cried to the man behind the bar. "Put up six glasses there, and fill them all. You," he said, turning fiercely upon Visscher, "will drink oil nf thorn " Visscher protested, but another bullet struck the floor at his feet, and he thereupon turned his attention, to the bar. The glasses had all been filled, while the man with the gun stood ready to enforce his command. When Visscher had taken the last drink and a row of empty glasses stood before him on the bar, he turned a glowing and smiling face upon the bad. men around nim. "Now, gentlemen," he said, cheerfully, "if any one will fill those glasses up again I'll drink my way back up the line again."

LESSON II, SECOND QUARTER, INTERNATIONAL SERIES, APRIL 13. Text of the Lesson, Acts Ix, 32-43. Mer.rory Verses, 40-42?Golden Text, Acts lx. 34?Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. 91. Stearns. [Copyright, 1902, by American Press Association.] 82. He came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda. This is written of Peter as he passed from place to place on his Master's business feeding and caring for the I -a a.% 1 sneep aou iue iuuius (juuu aai, I Pet. v, 1-4). as he had been commissioned to do. In Acts x, 38, we read that Jesus of Nazareth, anointed with the Holy Ghost and with power, went about doing good and healing all the oppressed of the devil, for God was with Him. If we will receive that which is written in John xvii, 18; xx, 21; I John ii. 0, we cannot but believe that He expects each of His redeemed to live the same life that He lived. 83, 34. Apneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole; arise and make thy bed. Finding one who had kept his bed eight years, being sick with palsy, he thus addressed him, and immediately he was whole, for Jesus Christ at the right hand of the Father is the very same compassionate, all powerful Saviour as when on earth He went about healing the sick (Heb. viii, 8). and His redeemed ones are here to make that great fact manifest. 85. And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saren saw him and turned to the Lord. The Lord saw that In the healing of ASneas He would be glorllied and that many would thus be led to turn to Him for their own good and for His glory. While I believe it Is n high aud holy and gracious privilege to trust the Lord for the body as well as the soul, I cannot sympathize with those who consign all drugs and doctors to the devil, nor can I believe that health in this mortal body is more important than ? A glorifying God. 36, 37. Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha. 1 She, like her Lord, lived for others and for the good which He might be pleased to accomplish through her. and in her active, self denying life God was manifest Some only talk of what they would do if they could, but this woman did what she could, the Lord working through her. In the midst of her busy life sickness came, and the enemy, death, was permitted to touch her, and she one day found herself in perfect health and in the vigor of a life she had never known before, absent from the body, present with the Lord, experiencing the gain of those who enter upon the "very far better." See II Cor. v, 8; Phil. 1, 21. 23. R. V. 38. 39. Lydda being near to Joppa and the disciples at Joppa. having heard of the Lord working through Peter at Lydda, they send for him. urging him to come quickly to them, which he did, and he soon found himself in the midst of a lot of weeping widows. We do not read that they talked of her present happiness and rest from her labors and their joy because of her promotion to the immediate presence of her Lord, yet I have been many a time in homes of mourning where these were the topics, aud there was no desire to have the loved one back again even though the hearts ached and the tears would come because of the loneliness. 40. But Peter put them all forth and kneeled down and prayed. So did our Lord in the case of the ruler's daughter (Mark v. 40). I expect that Peter, as be communed with God, would iuquire as to the will of God in this matter and whether it might be for the glory of God to have Dorcas return to the mortal body for a season. He must have received some assurance from God as to His will, for, turning to the body and calling her name, she opened her eyes, and. seeing Peter, she sat up. 41. And he gave her his hand and lifted her up and when he had called the saints and widows presented her alive. So Dor.cas came back from the rest and the glory to sojourn again in a mortal body for the good of others, and the selfish receivers of her labors were doubtless glad to have her go at it again for their sakes, but whatever she did It was for Jesus' sake (II Cor. Iv, 11), not for their sakes. Should we find ourselves suddenly in His presence and in the enjoyment of all that can be enjoyed apart from the body and be asked by Him to return to earth again for a seasou, for Ills sake, that He might be further glorified in us here, I doubt not but His grace would be sufficient to enable us to say. "Yes. Lord, anything, anywhere, for Thee (II Cor. lx, 8). 42. And It was known throughout all Joppa, and many believed In the Lord. Thus in these two cases of God working through Peter one result was that many In each place believed In the Lord. In the case of many sick ones who desire health and claim, as they say, the result of the prayer of faith,) there is often no desire that others should be led to believe in the Lord or that they themselves should live henceforth wholly for Him. but merely a desire for their own personal comfort and to be rid of their affliction. We must not sit in judgment upon God, nor may we even judge people (Rom. xiv, 13; I Cor. iv, 5). but we may be perfectly sure that tbe Judge of all the earth always does right (xviii, 25, of Genesis). 43. He tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner. Healing tbe sick or raising the dead or simply tarrying with Simon, the tanner, God was glorified in Peter. He does not want work so much as fruit, and there may be much fruit when one seems compelled to live in apparent idleness. Doubtless the Lord Jesus glorified the Father in all the thirty years at Nazareth as well as in the few years of His public ministry.

Rock Hill Hreald, April 2: Dr. Ed Nesbit, of New York, has bought a 1 strip of land lying along the Catawba river in Indian Land township in Lancaster county, commencing below Ivy's ferry and extending in the direction of s the Southern bridge. His object is to J establish in that region a game preserve, which will be frequented annually by rich northern hunters. His lands extend out from the river a mile or more. A barbed wire fence of six ^ wires will enclose the place and it will be stocked with deer and foxes, quail and pheasants, and cottages where the hunters will have their headquarters will be erected along the river. Dr. Nesbit is a native of that section. He has been very successful in New York, but has a fondness for the old scenes of his boyhood. His game preserve will be on the same river and only a few miles below the great electric power plant now being constructed by Drs. W. G. and R. E. Wylie, South Carolinians who have achieved fame and fortune in New York, and are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in the development of their native state Last Saturday afternoon two small children of Walter Avery, colored, who lives on Dr. W. B. Fewell's farm on Dutchman's creek, four miles north of Rock Hill, were sent to the pasture to drive the cows home. The children had to cross over the creek on a foot log, owing to its flooded condition. They went upon the log together, but one, a girl, fell off and was borne down the swift stream, struggling to get out, when the other, a boy, went to her rescue, but was powerless to render any help, and the two, sister and brother, went down under the water together. Search was made for their bodies, but they were not recovered until Sunday. One was found about fifty yards below the foot log, but the other had been borne some distance further down stream.... ^The Paris edition of the New York lierald, of a recent date, tells of the success of Miss Anna Watson in Paris, where in a competitive exhibition of paintings by American artists Miss Watson received the highest mark for excellence. There were more than 200 pictures on exhibition, but only that of Miss Watson was marked No. 1. Miss Watson is the eldest daughter of the late John L. and Mrs. M. M. Watson, of this county. She was raised in Ebenezer and spent much of her time in girlhood in Rock Hill. For more than 15 years she has devoted all her time to the study of art and for a year past has been in Paris, where she will remain a year longer The holy Easter Day was flagrantly violated by a bloody affair at the Catawba Power Co.'s dam. Sam Fair and John Fair were brothers, and before dinner on Sunday they fell out about some women, and out of this grew angry words, Sam drawing his pistol and firing three shots at John. One ball took effect in the left side, between the eleventh and twelfth ribs, producing a serious wound, from which death resulted Mondav night. After the shooting Sam Fair was arrested and brought to Rock Hill and placed in the guard house, where he is now. We suppose he will be accorded a preliminary hearing today Mr. Hasel Mobley spent several days of last week on his father's Waxhaw farm, and while there tried his luck fishing at the mouth of Twelve-Mile creek. A colored man, Ed Massy, who was with him, caught a German carp, which after be ing Drougnt 10 .kock nui, puueu we scales at 18 pounds. The river is { stocked with carp and occasionally some very fine specimens are caught. These fish reached the river from ponds that had been stocked fifteen or twenty years ago. and it is not improbable that ere the lapse of many more years German carp will be as plentiful in the river as shad used to be in April and May?before the low country fishermen stretched nets across the streams and cut the up-country off from its rightful supply of shad and other fish In the Lancaster court last week the suit of G. L. Vaughan against the S. C. & Ga. Ex. road was heard and a verdict for the defendant railway company was returned. The suit was for $1,000 damages for the destruction in May last of the plaintiff's corn crop on the Gibson bottoms below the S. C. & Ga. Ex. road's bridge over the Catawba river. The claim was that on account of the railroad's big fill on the western bank the flood water in the river had been diverted from the usual channel and forced across the bottoms on the east side, where they were piled up to such an extent as to destroy the corn ciop that had been planted, washing the fertilizers out of the ground and damaging the bottoms so that a crop could not be grown that year. The plea of the defendant company was that it was not responsible for the flood on the bottoms or consequent injury to the corn crop?that the flood was not diverted by its embankment across the KaHatwc! +V?r?+ tVio /lomncra woo r?n 11 corl by extraordinary floods and that there i would have been no crop made had 1 there been no embankment there, s Messrs.

In attempting to do so she fell off on the upper aide. The current swept her under, but she held to the log, calling for help. The other woman, too, called for help, saying, "I can't walk across to you: you hold on until I call somebody." The unfortunate woman held on bravely while strength lasted, but finally she cried "I can't hold on any longer," and was swept down the stream, coming up once about twenty feet below the crossing. Vain search was made for the body and was kept up all day Sunday in the presence of 150 to 200 spectators. Monday morning the corpse was found about half a mile down the creek. Mr. Clarence.Wilson says that near the same spot, thirty years ago, a child was drowned in the creek and was fished out the next day by his father with a long briar hook.
