'Til give it to you in a minute," returned the boy. But as he searched in pocket after pocket his face grew scarlet. "It's in my other suit wrapped up in this paper," he explained. "None of that," interposed the conductor. "You'll have to get off." "Wait a minute, conductor, and see if he isn't telling the truth," said a prosperous looking man. Meantime the boy, his face redder still, untied his bundle and proceeded to rummage through the pockets of his old uniform. At last he fished out a nickel. "You are an honest boy," said the nrosDerous looking man. "Here's a dollar." The messenger boy looked at the dollar and then at the man. "Not if I know it, mister," he exclaimed loud enough for everybody on the car to hear. "I don't want no pay for bein' honest. Besides, you're too late wid de coin. Wen you seen dat guy about to put me off w'y didn't youse come acrost wid a nickel? Keep yer old dollar till I asks you fer it!"

Oliver Iselin, manager of the cup defender Reliance, they tell many stories in New Rochelle, where Mr. Iselin has his country house, All View. According to one of these stories, the boy Iselin and a half dozen other boys took a walking trip through the state of New York a number of years ago. One night, rather late, they passed a farm whose gatepost bore the sign: "Milk For Sale." Iselin said: "We'll have some fun with the milkman," and he entered the yard, busied himself mysteriously for a moment, and then pounded on the door. A figure in white appeared at an upstairs window and a bass voice said: "What's the matter down there?" "The matter is," piped the boy, "that your best cow is choking. You had better come down to her." The milkman dressed hurriedly and descended, but of his kind informant he could not find no trace. Neither could he find any trace of a choking cow. There was, though, a turnip stuck in his pump spout.?Boston Post. The Pious Deacon and the Goat.?

News and Comment That Is of More or Less Local interest. CHESTER. Lantern, October 6: It is not often that any of our citizens come before the board of county commissioners asking: permission to change a road from a worse to a better location on their own lands, and at their own expense. or the expense of the neighborhood. but that is what we understand Mr. Jay O. Barber did yesterday for himself and Mrs. Marion. The whole country should throw up its hat and give three cheers. Shall we hope that this will provoke others to like good works? Such deeds are worth much \ more to the country than serving as governor of the state Mr. Wil- J liam A. Neal died at his home on Lacy street this morning about 3 o'clock. He was out on his farm yesterday af- j ternoon, and when he came home he told Mrs. Neal that he had had a slight ^ attack of heart failure, to which he was subject occasionally, but that it j had passed off. Mrs. Neal and her daughter went to church, and when they returned, he was sleeping. About 1 o'clock he waked Mrs. Neal saying . that the attack had returned, but he j said it was not necessary to send for a doctor. She administered restoratives, ( and later called Mr. Ward, who lives in j the house, and phoned for Dr. W. B. , Cox, but he was dead before the doctor arrived. Mr. Neal was a native of the Cornwell section of this county, and had just passed his 50th year. He ^ leaves a wife, a daughter and a son. He was a man* of genial disposition, 1 and made friends wherever he went. 1 He had been living in town about ' twenty years, and was engaged in mer- ( chandising and farming At the county commissioners' meeting yesterday the matter of chief interest was ' the election of certain officials, adver- 1 tisement of which had been published. ' It resulted as follows: Superintendent chaingang, S. O. McKeown; superintendent county home, W. S. Turner; county physician, Dr. J. G. Johnson; county attorney, R. B. Caldwell, Esq.

O. Barber appeared before the ' board asking permission to change the location of the road near the old yar- 1 1 ion place, where it runs over a hill, to ! run around the hill on a level, without 1 expense to the county. This request was granted On Tuesday morning ' at 9.30 a beautiful ceremony in the A. ! E. P. church irade Miss Anna Hemp- ' ' hill Moffatt Mrs. J. T. Curry. Mrs. J. 1 J.

The bride, with i her maid of honor, Miss Julia Moffatt, I followed and met the groom and offl- ! ciatlng minister, Mr. J. S. Moffatt, at t the altar Senator P. L.

As soon as it was given her, she turned it upside down and took the " pen in her left hand. Judge McLure I was inclined to offer some advice as to which was the top of the paper, but > she indicated that she knew what she ' I was about. She wrote her name nSatly 1 and plainly, top side down, with her - left hand, and said all her writing was done in that way. > CHEROKEE. Gaffney Ledger, October 6: The rel ception by the First Baptist church to Limestone college last Friday evening was a success in every particular. * The admirable programme rendered at the beginning of the festivities was greatly enjoyed by all present. The occasion was one long to be remembered. There was only one thing that 1 marred the occasion. That was the ; giving away of a section fo the veranda and bruising about a score of the students and their friends.

The cause of the * difficulty, it seems, arose from Elmore writing a letter to the Robertson husband who was away, and telling ' him that his wife had been unfaithful. ' When Robertson came home he show' ed his wife the letter. She at once ' [ sought to avenge the wrong, and suc ceeded as stated above Mr. John Cook, one of the old citizens or rne county, a veteran of the lost cause, one i of the mainstays of his pastor, a deai con in his church, and a loving fathr er, has passed away.

"Several years ago I was employed is a reporter on one of the Topeka lailies, assigned to the duty of interviewing the prominent arrivals at ho:els, and enjoyed some novel experijnces," remarked a Washington correspondent the other evening when intertaining a number of the boys on Newspaper Row with western reminscenses. "Among the arrivals at the Windsor hotel one day was a venerable jld baldheaded man, who closely resembled the pictures of Baron Humboldt. There was an air of mystery ibout the old man that the guests :ould not fathom. Finally I sent up my card to the venerable stranger's room and was graciously received by him, and presented to his wife and Ritq Ho.uitifii] fSniie,htf>rs. It was a strange thing to see five beautiful [laughters traveling with the same parents, and all of them seemingly about the same age. "When I ventured to ask the Illustrious stranger about the significance of his mission to Topeka, he said: " 'I am the chief of the government weather bureau. Our mission and business is to furnish weather to suit the different states. I arranged the recent hurricane in Kansas City and am now in Topeka to be present at a hurricane which we have appointed to take place next Thursday.' " 'And you say that the Kansas City hurricane was gotten up especially for that city?' " 'Certainly, young man; you see, there had been a good deal of wind about Topeka, especially about the state house, and Kansas City was lealous, so they sent for me to get up the rival wind and I fancy I succeeded very well. Yes sir/ said the old man, as he rubbed his bald head with a silk handkerchief, 'it was a pretty fair hurricane?pretty fair.' "'How hard did It blow over there?' I asked, believing the Kansas City papers had lied about their own wind. " 'Well, my son, it blew hard?yes very hard.

Four Kansas City editors got caught out in that wind. They carelessly left iheir mouths open, when the wind caught them behind their teeth and turned them inside out, and?' "'Heavens! Did it kill them?' "'Well, no; but they were a good deal discouraged, my son. There was one very queer circumstance, though, it seems that about a dozen Kansas City Journal reporters were returning from prayermeeting?' " 'Prayermeeting?' " 'Yes, my son; returning from prayermeeting, when the wind caught them and blew them right up against a stone wall and flattened them out as thin as wafers. In the morning there they were stuck on the wall, and'? "'Did it kill them?' " 'No; you can't kill a reporter, my son. But, as I was saying, the next morning there they stuck until Mr. Van Horn went out with a wheelbarrow and spade and scraped them off." " 'Did you see these flattened reportsrs?' " 'I did, Mr. Van Horn was just sending them to Texas by express.' " 'What for? What could they do with these flat reporters in Texas?' " 'Mr. Van Horn told me they were to be used as circus posters, and?' " 'What is your name?' I inquired. " 'You can rely upon my statements, >-oung man. My name Is Eli Perkins.' " 'Eli?* " 'Yes.'
