tumorous lUpartmmt. Cjr Wldenrr and the Panther. The other day we saw our old friend Cy Widener on the streets, and It brought to our memory the time that Cy broke the record of the world's fastest runner for short distances. When Cy was married he moved with his wife to a little mountain home up in the Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina. In those days?20 years ago ?those mountains were full of panthers, wildcats and other ferocious beasts. Oft-times one could hear them prowling around the house, and especially so in winter when hunger had driven them from their mountain dens. Cy's wife having been born and raised in these mountains, thought little of it, but every time Cy heard them it gave him the creeps. One night or evening, Cy's wife took a notion that she would go across the mountain a distance of perhaps a mile, and see her sister. Of course, that meant that Cy must go too. Though Cy didn't have any very strong desire to be tramping around through that mountain fastness after dark looking after the health of sisterin-laws, yet he agreed to go provided Mrs. Widener would walk in front. The trip over the ridge was made without trouble, and they arrived at their destination just as the male portion were starting 'possum hunting. Of course, Cy must go, and though Cy would rather have stayed at home and protect the women, yet he went. They had not gone far until a 'possum was treed, and captured. A little further on they caught another, and by 10 o'clock, they turned." their steps homeward. Cy tried hard to persuade Mrs. Widener to spend the night at her sister's, for he little relished the trip back home, but she with a woman's peculiarities, insisted that they must go home. One of the 'possums was given to Cy and to better carry it he split a little hickory stick and inserted the tail of the 'possum into the split?much against the wishes of the 'possum? and swung it across his shoulder, head downward. Then they began the journey homeward. They had reached the clearing around Cy's home before they heard anything of the panthers or cats, but then right near Cy there arose a shrill, clear, quavering call. It was the squall of a panther?that peculiar squall that fills the air and the hearers full of quick quivers. This made Cy quicken his pace. Just as they reached the low rail fence which surrounded the little home, the cry arose again? this time right behind Cy. He helped Mrs. Widener over the fence and was fixing to follow. He heard the leaves and twigs cracking in the undergrowth right near him. Just as he bent himself to step across the fence the pendant 'possum grabbed him by the rear of his pants with his front feet. Cy was sure a panther had him, and the squall i t he emitted would have put the biave red man of the silent west to shame or have scared off any collec LIV/II Ul ucaoio ma v t ? v.1 t,vv v v*<w. . Cy dropped his 'possum nnd bounded down the mountain, and with every bound he threw in as a sort of specialty a mammoth shriek such as had not reverberated through those old hills since they were created. The 'possum having caught such a good hold in the rear of Cy's pants was unable to let go, and to better secure himself against danger in his wild ride he stuck his hind feet in the calf of Cy's leg. This only put new energy into the already superb flight, and Cy would possibly have continued it into the next state if he hadn't inadvertently run against a tree that was unable to get out of his way in time. Of course, it knocked him flat and well nigh senseless, and the 'possum fell off on the ground beside Cy. When he saw what it was that had v scared him so he felt so thankful he liberated the 'possum and it roams those eternal hills to this day, if someone else hasn't got it. For after that Cy wouldn't go outdoors after dark for any consideration?he always sent one of the children.?Eph Goodloe in Spartanburg Free Lance. Senator Grady's Rat.?State Senator Grady is credited with a story worthy to be ranked among the best told of the late William R. Travers, although the stammerer in this case was another than the witty broker. His stable was overrun with rats, and his fondness for sport made him seek a dog fancier rather than a dealer in ferrets. A fine looking rat terrier, for which $50 was asked, was shown the stammerer who said he thought the animal ought to be given a trial before he made the purchase. The dealer agreed to put his dog to any test. His own back yard was named as the place, and an hour appointed for a trial the following day. The stammerer arrived with a huge sewer rat, which was thrown on the ground as the dog was released. The animals sprang at each other, mixed things up for a second, and then the rat got hold on the terrier's lower lip and hung on until the latter howled with pain and began to cower. Turning to the dealer the stammerer said: 'I d-d-don't think m-much of your d-d-dog. D-d-do you w-w-want to buy m-my r-r-rat?"?Utica Observer. An Orligixq Landlord.?It was a landlord and tenant case which was before Judge Linnott in the second district court here, says a Newark telegram to the New York Press. The plaintiff, Bernard Benson, who says James Barneman owes him a month's rent, was on the stand. "Did you ask him for the rent?" the judge inquired. "I did." "What did he say?" "He told me to go to h? "Then what did you do?" "I came right down here to court, your honor." "Well," remarked the judge, as he mopped his forhead and glanced at an electric fan which had ceased fanning the judge's brow, "there may be some points of resemblance." As it was the judge who was the cause of the general laugh that followed, he made no attempt to restrain it. signal, a sign, a message or something of the kind. I naturally wondered what it could be. I wished that it had appeared later in the day, for I was obliged to keep watch at the window all the afternoon and evening for fear of missing the next message. Nothing appeared till after dark, when a candle was left burning on the sill of the young lady's window?I shall call this No. 3 and the other house No. 7?for half an hour. It went out suddenly, and I ;vent to bed. The first signal had passed about 9 o'clock. Therefore the next morning I began my watch a few minutes before 9. As the clock struck the hour the gentleman and the lady appeared at their respective windows. She looked troubled and held up a piece of pasteboard on which was written in large letters: Tark at 11 p. m. This was surely the time and place of an elopement. The man as soon as he saw the message looked serious, but an elopement Is a serious matter, and I was not surprised that this young couple appreciated the importance of the step they were about to take. I did not expect any more messages, but for fear of missing one I kept my place at my window all day. After dark I was about to give it up when a red light was put in the girl's window. That means that something has happened to prevent the elopement tonight Red is a da-nger signal. I shall look anxiously for another cipher message in the morning. I lay awake half the night wondering what had happened. I wished that 1 could help them. It might be they needed a confidant to make arrange ? ?n?>M nnt moL'P thomspl VPS.

In the morning she held up a sign: Tark 6. Haze O. They're going to try It again. They will meet at some place at G this evening designated by the word "Tark." But what does "Haze O" mean? Why, that the danger which threatened them before has been eliminated. How stupid of me ndt to see it at once! Tonight will tell. I'm sure the window will show a light. I was not mistaken. The window did show a light?not one, but two, and they were both red. In the morning I awaited the cipher message anxiously. It came later than usual, and the poor girl looked dreadfully worried when she gave it On the pasteboard were the words: Tark 10. The man, too, looked worried, but made a motion for the girl to wait Then, disappearing rrom iue WlilUUVTi I he returned presently and held up a placard: O. K. this end; tonight sure. I could stand this no longer. Putting on my hat and wraps I went around the corner and rang the bell at No. 3. The girl who had been displaying cipher messages came to the door. "May I speak with you a moment?" I asked. "Certainly. Come in." We went into a drawing room, and I mustered courage to open the delicate subject "Pardon me if I seem officious," I said, "but I have reason to believe that you love a gentleman who lives In one of the houses whose rear faces yours." She didn't blush at all. "You are right" she said. Her sensible way of coming right out helped me. "You need a friend. I am that friend. I have observed your signals, your appointments and your disappointments." "Excuse me," she Interrupted. "Have you had the measles?" "The measles? Why, no. What has that to do with the mattter?" "Only that my two children are down with It and if you should take it it might go hard with you. It always does with elderly people." "And the signals?" I gasped. "They were to keep my husband, who remained at home with our other children, informed. We took this house that we might separate the sick from the well." Then she explained the signals. The smile and the handkerchief merely meant encouragement; "Tark at 11 p. m." that their boy Tarklngton, who had not surely shown the disease, had broken out at 11 p. m. The white and red lights were the only signals that could be given at night to say "better" or "worse." "Tark 6, Haze O," meant that, according to the scale agreed upon, Tarklngton was doing well. Hazel recovered; two red lights, Tarklngton worse. "O. K. this end; tonight sure," meant that the children at home were well and a grandmother, who had been delayed, would arrive. I retired disappointed. Later.?I have come down with severe case of measles. ELISE BRISSON.

She had been in bad health for years, but we understand that there was nothing indicating immediate danger until a few hours before her death. The remains were buried at Union yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Ferguson was a daughter of Mrs. Margaret Simpson, of Edgmoor, and was about 45 years old. She leaves, besides her bereaved husband, three daughters Miss Maggie M.

Gastonia Gazette, August 22: Miss Mattie Brumfield, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Brumfield, in Charlotte, was married last Thursday night by Dr. G. H. Detwiler. The happy groom is Mr. James Austin, who is employed in the Southern's freight depot. The bride is well-known in Gastonia and all her friends wish her much happiness. Mrs. McFalls, wife of Mr. H. G. McFalls, night superintendent of the Old Mill died at 1 o'clock Tuesday af- j ternoon of typhoid fever, after an illness of two weeks. The body was taken to Double Shoals Wednesday morning on the Narrow Guage for burial, accompanied by the family. Mrs. McFalls leaves a husband and six chil- j dren, three boys and three girls to mourn the loss of wife and mother A difficulty, which came near proving serious, took place at C o'clock Tuesday afternoon at the Avon mill between Messrs. Charles Hale and Robert Smith, operatives in the weaving room at the Avon. It seems that Hale and Smith, who are both grown young men, were waiting to go on duty at changing time, 6 o'clock. They were on the railroad opposite the mill, in a crowd of boys who were also waiting to go on duty. Just what started the difficulty cannot be learned, but words passed and Hale stabbed Smith in the right breast. The wound was dressed but is not considered serious. Hale escaped and so far has not been apprehended. CHARLES M. SCHWAB. Spectacular Career of the Great Steel Mugnate. No career in American industrial life has been more spectacular than that of Charles M. Schwab. Born amid very humble surroundings, and self-educated, he was at the age of 39 elected president of the largest corporation in the world?the United States Steel Corporation?at a salary generally understood to be $1,000,000 a year. In the steel trust, Mr. Schwab is generally considered as the representative of Andrew Carnegie, who holds a prior lien on the entire property of the cor poration in the $305,000,000 of bonds paid to him for his Carnegie Steel mills, of which Mr. Schwab was then president. In fact, there has been a widespread belief that one of the conditions attached to the sale of the Carnegie mills was that Mr. Schwab should become the head of the combination to be formed. In dates and facts Mr. Schwab's career may be very briefly summarized. Born at Williamsburg, Pa., February 18, 1862, of poor parents, he attended a small elementary school until he was 16 years of age, and then began clerking in a grocery store at $2.50 a week. At 18 he obtained work in the Edgar Thompson steel works at Braddock, Pa., at $1 a day. In 1887, at 25 years of age, Mr. Schwab was chief engineer of the works. He had built the Homestead steel plant. He turned out of the Carnegie mills its first armor steel plate. In 1SS9 he was made general superintendent of the Thompson mills, and in 1892 he directed both the Thompson and the Homestead mills. In 1893 he was elected a member of the board of managers, and in 1897 president of the Carnegie steel mills. He drew a salary of $50,000, with an interest in the amount of business done by the company. Then fnllnwpa the elect inn to the steel trust presidency in 1901, with the enormous salary. Since his election to the head of the steel trust, Mr. Schwab has been a spectacular figure in both the social and financial world. He has been very liberal with his money, and has spent as well as given away large sums of it. One incident of his liberality occurred last winter. A newspaper was raising a fund for certain relief purposes. Reporters from the paper were sent to solicit subscriptions. One reporter was assigned to see Mr. Schwab. He very reluctantly explained his mission to the steel trust president, whereupon Mr. Schwab promptly drew a roll of bills from his pocket and handed the reporter $2,r>00. Mr. Schwab took a trip to Europe last winter, during which time he was al most continually in the public eye. hi First, he went to Monte Carlo. Extrav- at agant reports came back by cable of ag his winnings and losses at the gambling table. There was widespread comment he upon these reports, and it was current- V< ly reported in Wall street?though subsequently denied?that J. P. Morgan & E: Co., cabled to Mr. Schwab inquiring in- in to the truth of the reports, and advis- w ing no more gambling. The stories of to the Monte Carlo winnings and losses dc thereupon ceased. sc When next heard of Mr. Schwab was ta in Vienna. He was accorded a most gracious reception by the emperor of Austria, and it was reported that the emperor wanted to see Mr. Schwab again; but found it impossible to arrange it. Then the steel trust president went to London, and King Edward and in he had a half hour's talk, the details h? of which were more or less fully re- w ported. h? Another spectacular feat of Mr. be Schwab was to purchase the lot at d? Riverside drive, Seventy-third street sc and west End evenue, formerly occu- ry pied by an orphan asylum. In a recent dl number of a New York weekly there ai was a picture of this house, made from hi architect's designs, and it was evident fu from the pictures that this was to be at the most gorgeous private residence in America. The entire investment, house of and lot, was expected to amount to tli about S5,000,000. 14 Since coming to New York to reside, d< Mr. Schwab has lived at the Waldorf- in Astoria hotel. He has been frequently cc seen in the dining room there, giving rn elaborate dinners. He has also been bi very much interested in automobiles hs and has made several cross-country trips at a very hazardous rate of speed, di Mrs. Schwab was, before her mar- sa riage, Emma E. Dinkey, of Loretto, Ir Pa. She and Mr. Schwab were married when he was 21 years of age. The two w were playmates when children. The in couple have done a large amount of en- si tertaining since their life centered in oi New York. They are childless. w Mr. Schwab was taken suddenly ill y< while driving at Atlantic city, where he w has a country residence, on July 26. hi His condition then was such as to very m greatly alarm his family and friends, dl After a day of complete rest he was re able to sit up, but for several days he b( was compelled to take his outdoor ex- ? ercise in a roller chair. p This illness of Mr. Schwab, it was currently reported gave premonitory symptoms of prostration. There was little need of medicine, and the doctors prescribed complete rest. A week later Mr. Schwab went to Pittsburg. Since then there have been almost daily re- H ports that Mr. Schwab was about to H retire.?New York Times. P HUNTED WITH SENATOR VEST. Kj Doleful Experience of an Ensrliah- || ipnn Willi Dorm Who Liked n Very |j Stronsr Scent. U Senator Vest has told many stories, W but one exDerience of his has not reach- | ed the general reader. It occurred years ago, but the senator in telling It not long ago was,0till chuckling. In his younger days, Senator Vest 1 was an ardent hunter and an authority on the wild life of the prairies. He was living on the advance line of civ- ilizatlon and his home was known far p and wide for its cordial and abundant U hospitality. There Mr. Vest one day received a visit from a rich and famous hunter from London who brought a letter of introduction from a friend living in the English capital. And the Englishman had brought with him his own hunting dogs. Senator Vest had L dogs of his own and he could not re-- ? press his surprise, but the Englishman ^ asked him to wait and see. The anl- l mals from the other side of the sea L would do wonders when they got to ^ work. In order to get the best shootingquail was the game sought?It was necessarv to drive far out on the prairie T beyond even the suggestion of civiliza- L tion. The hunters and the attendants L got in the big wagon and the dogs fol- L lowed. They drove for many miles and l finally the wogan was left in the care A of the men, and Mr. Vest and the Englishman started out on the quest. They q did well. The dogs of the Englishman were not worth much, but the Missouri ^ breed gave excellent sport. L "Just wait and give my dogs a N chance," declared the Englishman. "All they need is a stronger scent." "They got it," said the senator tell- q ing the story. "Yes, they got it. Some * distance away was a little hill and in the side of the little hill were little holes. Suddenly the Englishman's dogs _ got the stronger scent and started for N the hill with the little holes. J " 'Call them back,' I shouted to the Englishman. " 'Oh, no,' he replied. * 'Now they've C got it. Now they've got it.' " ~j " 'They will get it if they don't keep E away from there.' I answered. But ^ with all I could do I could not call him 11 back. He would not listen and he got 5 so excited that he started on a run after his dogs. 10 "Well, it was my time to be moving, U too, for I knew what was coming; so I 5 called my dogs and made for the wag- * on as fast as the good Lord would let ? me. Just as I crawled in I turned and ? ... . . ..... 8 saw tne snow, ana i never puiea any- 9 body in my life as much as I did that W Englishman with the dogs that wanted _ a stronger scent. Out of the holes T came little animals and you never saw l such a mix-up in your life. The dogs L ran for the Englishman and jumped ^ around him for protection. Then the A Englishman tried to get away from the A dogs for protection, too, and the whole ? combination started for the wagon. C "Put the whip to the horses," I told di my man and don't let them get within half a mile of us." ^ " 'Hi, there, wait for me!' cried the Englishman. \v " 'Keep your distance," I responded N and to the driver I said, 'Whip 'em up.' "So we went mile after mile over that a prairie. I pitied the Englishman from w the bottom of my heart; but there are times when pity must not get too close, s I kept him in sight so that he should al not miss the way, but he had to walk. ^ Once in awhile he would run as though I would allow him to catch up with the wagon, but everytime he did we put on more speed. When we neared the town, I had to call back to him that 3 company would not be desired for least 24 hours. I never saw him rain." "And the little animals in the little >les in the little hill, senator?" Mr. est was asked. "Polecats," replied the senator. "The nglishman had read about quail livg in holes In the prairie hills and he ouldn't change his mind when I tried i explain things to him. But, these )gs of his certainly did get all the ent they wanted?there was no mlske about that."?New York Sun. THE NEEDLE. ne of the Mont Ancient Implements of Which We Have Rcord. The needle is one of the most ancient lplements or instruments of which we ive any record.

Pliny describes the neees of bronze which were used by the icient Greeks and Romans, and since s day similar instruments have been und in comparative abundance both Herculaneum and Pompeii. The first account of the manufacture ' "white iron" or steel needles, says lat they were made at Nuremberg in 60, and while the exact date is in )ubt they are said to have been made Britain as early as 1545. The ac?unt further adds that the first needles anufactured in England were made f a Spanish Negro, who died without iving taught anyone his art.

In this achine, which is very simple, the neees are all strung on a wire, which ivolves radidly .thereby imparting a mutiful finish to the eye.
