A Breese From the Plain*.. f
Mr. G. G. Conner, a resident of South
Dakota and a member of the Spearfish
club, while in New York, visited I
the Sportsman's show at Madison
" Square garden, and that fellowship
which exists between the brethren of ^
the west was recognized at once, and
Mr. Conner's password, grip or sign
opened to us all any information that
those from the west possessed. Among
many things we heard was the fol- I1
lowing story told by a noted guide and
trapper that was at the show, and we e
think it was the only story he told in c
the whole two weeks of the exposition. 11
"Thar's no use," he said, "in trying
to speak a good word for an InJun;
thar's nothing good about 'em; *
never was or never will be. Why, '
they'll jess sell thar lives for whisky, ^
and I jess rec'lect very, very strongly J
a circumstance that happened to me E
one day, an' it'll tell you what kind of *
a hog an Injun is. I was out on the 8
plains on as pretty piece of horseflesh a
as you ever seed, a lookin' for sumfin 8
to kill, when all of suttin' I saw a red- J
skin. We how'd a parleyed for awhile,
when he spied a quart bottle sticking c
out of my pocket, which I had taken a
from the cabin when I left for safe v
keeping. As my pardener was mon- *
strus fond of igood whisky, and I
thought it was a heap safer wid me ^
than wid him, so I took it along, as I 8i
said, and the Injun spied it.
" 'Ugh! whafc you got?' he asked. (
'Whisky,' I said. i<
. " 'Good?' f
" 'Yes! bully.' t.
" 'Sell?' t
" 'No,' c
" 'Give blanket,' pointing to a mighty i<
fine blanket. g
" 'No; no sell.' r<
" 'Give blanket an" give pony.'
" 'No; no sell.' 11
" 'Give blanket; give pony; give rifle.' c
" 'No, I tell yer; no sell.'
" 'Give all.'
'"Now, jess think of that thar, will c
yer, that thar low-down, pesky red- 8
skin willing to give two hundred dollars
for a dollar bottle of redeye. I ^
tell yer they are hogs for whisky every ^
time." *
" Well!" said one of his auditors, "no 0
one could attach any blame to you for b
accepting his offer. If he placed that 8
value on the whisky, it was immaterial a
what you paid for it; but I must say e
it was a good deal on your part."
"Huh!" said the guide; "who said
anything about a deal. I wouldn't take a
his trade. It was the only quart of
whisky I had." ?

Interviewed the FlMh. C
An elderly Negro was shuffling p
through one of the local market houses d
the other morning, basket on arm, and v
glancing from side to side at the dis- "]
plays of meats, vegetables, fruits, etc., v
says the New York Times. A stall y
filled with fish caught his fancy, and F
he stopped before it. He seemed un- *
certain as to the quality of the offering,
however, and, after carefully not- a
ing that the proprietor was busy with a
customers, stooped to smell the fish. ?
The proprietor turned and caught him.
"You black scoundrel!" he exclaimed,
grabbing the old man by the col- ^
lar. "What do you mean by smelling
and poking your nose into my
goods."
"Wa'n't smellin" of 'em boss?"deed,
T wa'n't!" exclaimed the old fellow, ?
Y
wriggling out of the angered dealer's
grasp, but frightened and shaking.
"I'se war only askin' th' fish a question,
ooss."
"Asking the fish a question?"
"Ye'sir. I war jus' askin' 'em," the
old fellow went on, "if they nad any
news from the sea lately."
The other customers were interested;
and the dealer fueling somewhat foolish
for his outburst of anger, thought
he would humor the old chap, and let
the incident pass off pleasantly.
"Well, what did the fish say?" he
asked, laughingly, and winking to the
bystanders.
"Day said as how they had no news
from th' sea lately," came from the
old fellow as he dodged further away,
"cause day haven't been near th' water
for a monf!" c

however, and tells a good story in this ?
connection at his own expense. It
seems tnat one day as he was jriding
in an omnibus in London he was annoyed
by the persistent staring of a
workingman on the opposite seat.
The man presently addressed himself
to him as follows:
"You're a parson, ain't you?"
"Well, yes, that is so."
"Look 'ere, parson," exclaimed the
man. "would you mind comin' 'ome
with me to see my wife?"
Imagining the wife was sick and
needing spiritual assistance the bishop
at much inconvenience to himself,
went with the man. On arriving at
the house the man shouted to his wife
to come downstairs, and pointing to
the astonished prelate, cried with a
grin of deiight:

Jambs Skttlbp It.?Two boys in a
rural Scotch district were one day discussing
what sign it is when the
cuckoo is heard for the first time in the
year. One of them said it was a sign
of getting married, while the other said
that it was a sign that you were going
to be rich. A farmer, overhearing
them, said: "That cannot be true, because
I have heard it many times, and
I am not married yet. and 1 am certainly
not rich." Just then a local s
worthy, known as "Daft Jamie," was li
passing by, and the farmer said: o
"Jamie, can you tell us what sign it is
when you hear the cuckoo for the first

22. Then pleased It the apostles and
Iders. with the whole church, to send
hosen men of their own company to Anloch
with Paul and Darnabas.
Paul and Barnabas, having returned
o Antioch after their first missionary
our, continued there a long time with
he disciples, teaching the word (xiv,
8). While there teachers came from
udtea, who said that the gentiles could
ot be saved by faith in Christ unless
hey were also circumcised. There was
o much dissension and disputation
bout it that the church at Antioch
ent Paul and Barnabas and others to

o lay the matter before them. The
ouncil, having heard the whole story

rhich they now send to Antioch with

These the council considered necesarv

or salvation, rather necessary as an
vidence of salvation. There Is no salation
by works revealed in the word
f God, but only salvation by the great
nd finished work of the Lord Jesus,
vhich the sinner must receive as
Jed's free gift, purchased for him by
he precious blood of Christ (Acts iv,
2; xiii, 38, 39: Rom. iv, 5; v. 1; Eph. it,
i, 9; Tit. iii, 5). but being saved by
nith in Christ?that is, by accepting
Christ, receiving Ilim (John i, 12; I
ohn v, 11. 12)?then the good works
,re necessary as an evidence to men
hat we are new creatures in Christ
Eph. 11, 10; Tit iii. 8; Matt v. 16;
Jal. vl, 15). The believer is expected
o be an epistle known and read of all
nen to the glory of God (II Cor. ill,

are not grievous. His yoke is
asy, and His burden is light (I John

S2. Judas and Silas, being prophets also

A true prophet is one who is a

2 and 2.30 o'c.lock the little village
of Pleasant Ridge suffered quite
heavily from a severe wind, rain and c
hail storm. Two Negro cabins on Mr. f
John Bell's place were blown over, as I
was also one at Mr. W. M. Nolen's. A f
number of trees were laitl low. One ?
large tree at Mr. V. G. Grier's store c
was blown down, breaking a hole in e
the roof, while the rear end of the post- i
office was demolished in a similar
manner. The cotton crop of Mr. Meek c
Crawford was almost entirely de- d
stroyed and other crops in that section c
suffered heavily from the wind and r
hail For 15 years Mr. John Harvey ?i
has been farming on Mr. M. H. Shuford's
place near Crouse. Saturday c
afternoon, Mr. Harvey came over to t
Gastonia to spend the night with Mr. a
Shuford. Strange to say, we found one a
man who had a good wheat crop. Mr. P
Harvey sowed 45 acres, and says he r
has a better crop than last year, in fact i
the best wheat crop, so far, he has ever
made on the place. All of it except r
about four acres of late sown wheat a
is a good waist high and thick a e
plenty. He attributes his good fortune c
to the fact that he sowed early, be- F
tween September 20th and October 1st. t
When his neighbors were getting ready e
to sow, his wheat was up thick and
green, and some of them told him he o
had better get out in the field and mow fc
it down. Mr. Harvey says that his t
neighbor Martin Rudisill has about h
the same number of acres in wheat, o
and that it is fine also. The prospect r
for heavy heading is good so far and '1
both expect a good yield of grain, ii

to his native state. At the outbreak
of the war. he took up arms for his ^
beloved southland and was among the t<
first troops of bis state that went to s
the front. He was lieutenant and af- ti
terwards captain of Company It, Fifth l<
regiment S. C. V. He made a splendid n

from the war. Captain Patrick
narried in '66 or '67 the widow of Mr.
J. Mac Riddle, who had lost his life
n the cause of the Confederacy. This
rife was the companion of his subseluent
life, the mother of his children,
ind is now his surrowlng survivor. Of
his union six children survive: Lula,

if Mr. C. E. Huflfstetler; Margaret,

.Irs. Patrick by her first marriage, Is
he wife of Mr. Meek Huffstetler. Mrs.
Patrick's maiden name was Glenn, and
he is an aunt of Dr. Henry Glenn, of
laslonia. Captain Patrick had 10
rrandchlldren, all of whom were at the
uneral yesterday. From 1882 to 1900.
Captain Patrick was a member of the
oard of county commissioners of Gason
county, a large part of which time
le was chairman of that body. We
telieve it is a matter of record that
Luring this entire period of 18 years he
vas not absent from a single meeting
.f the board. The comradeship of his
ellow veterans of the Confederacy was
ery dear to him, and this feeling of
ellowshlp was reciprocated time and
gain in his election and re-election as
ommander of the William Gamble
amp of Confederate veterans at Dalas.
A faithful member of Bethel
hurch, he moved his membership to
Jnion church and was chosen an elder
ibout eight years ago, when Rev. G.
L Sparrow became its pastor. At the
lome of the deceased yesterday mornng,
it was this pastor's mournful duty
o conduct the funeral services of his

lethel church in the afternoon his body
ras consigned to the grave, there to
iwait the final summons. The sorrowng
friends and bereaved relatives who
;athered at Bethel church yesterday
ifternoon buried away from sight one
if the best men that ever lived. For
2 years we have known Captain Geo.
I. Patrick as a public servant end a
alued personal friend, and if he had a
ingle fault of character we do not
mow what it was. He was a man of
,'reat probity, virtue and gindliness
if nature, who loved to do justice and
how mercy. He leaves his family the
ich heritage of an upright and devoted
ife. He served his church well, he
erved his neighbors well, he servd
his county well, and one of
he last deeds of his life was a
imple service of faithfulness to his
>arty?a seemingly small act; but
o Captain Patrick there were no
mall duties. If It was duty, it was
luty, and he would discharge it, no
natter how small or Insignificant It
night seem. He died, we feel sure,
ust as he would have wished to die?
n the bosom of his family, in the full
>ossession of his faculties, ripened in
he service of God and his fellowman,
it the close of the Sabbath day, quicky,
quietly, easily. In viewing such a
Ife and character these words from
Toly Writ come naturally at the close

CO-Ol'En ATI VE TELEPHONES.
LVlHPonMln nUcoverH How to Get a
Service at Cheap Rates.
The story of a rebellion in Wisconsin
igainst high telephone rates and of the
ormation of co-operative telephone exchanges
to fight the high-priced cor>oration,
is told in the Municipal Jourlal
for May. The result of the movenent
has been to force the old company
>ut of business.
The movement started at Grand
lapids. The telephone rates were high
ind the company wouldn't lower them,
>rotesting that it couldn't afford to.
V few of the kickers decided then to
un a telephone service of tfieir own.
A company was organized with a
apital of $5,000, divided into 100
ihares, each share representing the
ost of the installation of a single initrument.
Each stockholder was alowed
to hold only one share for every
nstrument rented by him, and the
iwnership of the stock- was absolutey
confined to renters of telephones.
Dividends of 1 per cent, were to be
)aid on the stock monthly.
Starting with 83 telephones the exchange
grew tin it had 300?a telephone
or every 17 inhabitants of the place.
Experience proved that by charging a
nonthly rate of $2.25 for stores and
1 for residences, after payment of the
iriginal $50 subscription, the company
ould give good service and increase
ts dividends to 1J per cent, a month.
Thus its patrons had to pay monthly
inly $1.50 for business service, after
leducting the dividend, and only 25
ents for residences. For each instrunent
the operating expenses were $9
l year:
It being a small town with public
opinion unanimously demanding cheap
elephones, there was no difficulty
ibout a franchise for stringing wires
ind there were no expensive under,-round
conduits to be built. And the
nore the service grew the greater was
ts value to the subscribers.
Of course, the original company could
lot compete with these profitless prices
nd the company could not buy up the
o-operative exchange, because stock
ould be held only by users of teleihones.
As soon as a subscriber ceased
o rent a 'phone his share was canel
led.
The old telephone company tried
very means to oust the newcomers;
iut it could not be done. It offered
elephones rent free for three years
mping to win away enough of the coperative
subscribers to compel the
est to e-o hark t? the oricinal plan.
'he new company replied by showing
ts members what would hanoen to
hem after three years and the co-operurs
stuck together.
The result has been that the old
ompany has gone out of business and
he co-operative company is constant\r
increasing its service.
Hesides (Jrand Rapids, Wausau,
Ierrill, Marshfleld and several other
owns now have co-operative telephone
eruiee. There is a group of these
owns in the Winconsin Valley and
nig distance lines between them are
ow being projected.
METHODIST DEACONESSES.
Female Order In the Clinrch Established?
An Advanced Step.
The general conference of the M. E.
Church South, recently held at Dallas
Texas, took an advanced and Important
step at Its session on Saturday In determining
to establish the order of deaconesses
In the church. The vote In
favor was decisive, being 130 to 38 in
opposition. Church authorities declare
this to be the most radical and advanced
step ever taken In the policy and
discipline of the church.
The debate on the question was very
interesting. Dr. Paul Whitehead said
he had been an advocate of the establishment
of the deaconesses since 1890.
There was no material difference between
the prejudice against trained
women and trained nurses. Southern
prejudice was against it; but the common
sense of tne age and necessities
demanded these women. The work
was for them and they loved to do it,
and provison must be made to train
them. It could not be done without a
school. He moved the substitution of
the minority report.
W. R. Peebtes, of Tennessee, opposed
the legislation. It crushed individualism.
He would like to see something
done for Methodism along the line proposed
without orders. He did not approve
of class legislation, and considering
the fact that only single women
or widows were eligible as deaconesses,
the legislation was of the class kind.
Dr. Coke Smith said "there was a
work in cities which only trained women
could do. You could not pick up
women here and there. When a woman
married she legislated herself out,
as she had children of her own to look
out for. St. Paul made the distinction.
The call was pressing and he hoped
it would be adopted.
W. B. Webb paid a tribute to the
Roman Catholic nurses during the
war. S. B. Adams followed in a glowing
eulogy on the Sisters of Charity,
with whom he had been associated in
charitable work. Methodism should
follow their steps and he rejoiced in
the attempt to institute practical
charity. Dr. A. J. Lamar opposed advertising
by garb and dress piety. Or/TVT^

Dr. J. A. Clifton, familiarly known

The matter was then laid before the
conference and the minority report was
adopted.
