Impracticable.?Republican State
Committeeman George Aldridge enjoys
telling of an experience he had the
other day, when near his residence on
Plymouth avenue, in Rochester, he
paused to watch a youngster with a
pile of pumpkins. The youth had cut
faces in each pumpkin and was sticking
them on the pickets of the fence.
"What are you doing, my little man
?making jack-o'-lanterns?" asked the
genial committeeman.
"No, sir; I'm playing election," replied
the boy.
"And what are the pumpkins for?"
continued the boss of Monroe county.
"Oh, they're the folks we vote for.
I play this one is mayor, and this one
is treasurer and this one is alderman.
Then I stand off and throw rocks at
'em and see how many I can smash."
The committeeman enjoyed the
youngster's vivid conception of the
coming election and asked: "But why
don't you have one for Aldridge?"
" "Cause I hain't got a big enough
punkin," replied the boy, honestly.?
New York Times.
Circumstantial Evidence.?He is
an honest man, says the Philadelphia
Press, but he has lost faith in circumstantial
evidence, and this is the reason:
The other day he was riding home
from work beside a man whom he
knew only by sight. The latter had
an umbrella, which he placed between
them. The just man continued:
"When I got up to leave the car I
absentmindedly picked up the umbrella.
Halfway down the aisle the fellow
caught up with me and asked me
to surrender it. I did, but I suppose
my explanation?certainly a flustered
one?was unconvincing.
"A week later my wife asked me to
stop at a repair shop and bring back
a half dozen umbrellas we'd had there.
I did so. On the car I again sat by
that fellow whose umhreua ni sianeu
away with seven days before. He
looked at my bundle of umbrellas
looked up and smiled. Then he said:
"This seems to have been a pretty
good day for "your business."
< ?
Cruel Girl.?"Do you think," he
asked her, merely because he didn't
have anything else to say, "that there
Is much in this heredity theory," says
the Chicago Record-Herald. "For instance,
I read somewhere the other
day that If a man's father and grandfather
were preachers it would be easy
for him to become a preacher or if one
come from a long line of soldiers it
would be natural for him to pick up
the art or war without much trouble.
The idea seemed to be that whatever
a man's ancestors were it would be
easiest for him to be."
"Well," she replied, "I wouldn't be
surprised if there were a good deal of
truth in that theory. I've always noticed
that most men can make monkeys
of themselves without much trouble."
Charity Begins at Home.?Dr.
Newell Dwight Hlllis was called the
other day to see a sick woman who
is not a member of Plymouth church,
though she lives near by on Columbia
Heights, says the New York World.
While he was waiting in the parlor
till she was ready to receive him he
was entertained by her young daughter.
"I am greatly pleased that your
mother thought of me in her illness,"
said Dr. Hillis. "Is her own pastor
away?"
"No," replied the daughter, "oh, no,
but she was afraid she had something
contagious, and she didn't want to run
any risks."
The Way He Would Say It.?It
was during the reading lesson in one
of our public schools that a little lad
read in a jerky, expressionless way,
"Mamma, see the hawk," says the Chicago
Journal.
The reading was so very poor that
the teacher said: "John, you know
you would not talk that way to your
mother."
"No'm," replied the lad.
"Well, now," said the teacher, in a
kindly way, "you read it exactly as
you would say it to your mother."
And here is his reply: 'Look, mom,
at that thpra hawk!"
Cheap at the Price.?It is told of
Bishop Williams of Connecticut, for
many years a presiding bishop of the
Episcopal church in America, who
lived all his life a bachelor, that he
was talking one day with a young man
from the west about a tax a western
state was trying to impose on bachelors,
the tax to be increased a certain
per cent for every ten years of bachelorhood,
says Pilgrim. "Why, bishop,"
said the young man, "at your age
you would have to pay about 5100 a
year." "Well," said the bishop, quietly
and in his old-time vernacular, "it's
wuth it."
Disillusioned.?Some officers of a
PrifioV^ eKin ti'ara rlininor with Ci mfin
darin at Canton, says the New York
News. One of the guests wished for a
second helping of a savory stew,
which he thought was some kind of
duck, and not knowing the word in
Chinese, held his plate to the host, saying,
with smiling approval:
"Quack, quack, quack!"
His countenance fell when his host,
pointing to the dish, responded:
"Bow, wow, wow."
Chilled.?"Look into my eyes,"
pleaded the devoted youth, "and tell

TALLEST MAN IN THE WORLD.
Feodor Machow, a Russian, Is Nearly
Eight Feet High.
The tallest man in the world is going
to England.
He is Feodor Machow of Kusjak,
Russia, and he Is 7 feet 9 inches in
height. Until some scientists "dlscov- r
oroH" him and brouerht him to Moscow, 8
Feodor looked upon his abnormal t
height as a grave drawback. Now he ^
is rather proud of it. a
This man is not only the largest man o
alive, but his measurements are great- e
er than those of any known giant of ^
the past two generations. He Is but
twenty-two years old, and remarkably
well proportioned for his height. j
The Anthropological society of Berlin,
is taking a very lively interest in
Machow, and many learned men have
measured and studied him during the j
past few months. Prof. Felix von
Luschan, the famous ethnographical j
student, has made the official report, _
and this is what he finds:
"I have carefully examined and ^
measured from an anthropological
standpoint Feodor Machow, who Is now
about twenty-two years of age.
"He is 7 feet 9 inches in height, and
can therefore be classed with the larg- g
est giants that have ever lived. He
exceeds in height all the known living 0
giants by at least a head, and Is In
many respects of great scientific inter- ^
est." t
As a matter of fact all the giants
who have been exhibited in Europe up r
to the present time were from 4.7 3
inches to 5.9 inches shorter than
Machow. Their average height was be- g
tween 6 feet 10 inches and 7 feet 5 e
inches, according to documents placed
with the Anthropological society by j
the late Prof. Vlrchow.. The showmen,
however, always exaggerated the
height in advertisements.
Feodor Machow comes from an old ?
Russian family, whose ancestors are
said to have emigrated to Russia from
the south, probably from Syria. His ei
parents, as well as his two brothers y
and one sister, are all of normal size, c
His grandfather was large, but in no jg
sense a giant. It is said, however, that a(
in earlier generations of the family tj
large specimens occurred. Viewing w
this case from the standpoint of the
theory that mental and physical traits jj
are Inherited, it would seem that the c]
theory is strengthened to a certain ex- gI
tent, especially in regard to bodily tr
stature. is
Thf? hnnts wnrn hv Manhnw which i?
scarcely reach to his knees, reach an p]
ordinary person almost up to the g1
waist, and a twelve-year-old boy could
easily find room inside of one of them. ^
The ring which adorns the index finger j(
of Machow's right hand is so large |r
that a half-dollar can easily be passed S(
through it. A steel spring mattress of a]
extra size and strength had to be made c,
for him and placed on a strong iron al
frame. This promising youth eats at
each meal at least three pounds of w
meat and a proportionate quantity of w
potatoes, vegetables and bread, with fo,
a relishing appetite. It is at the cost
of much trouble and still greater ex- sj

Mr. Goose was rigged out In coat and

simply in a low standing collar and
porty derby.
"This is the proper thing," said Mr.

We Must Be in Line.
IT has been only about six weeks since
we made our first sale of Furniture,
and since our start our business has
been even better than we had anticipated
that it would naturally be at the beginning
of our career. It Is hardly necessary
for us to express our gratification
at the result already attained, but
will say, in passing, that while we have
made a good start it shall be our aim
and desire to so conduct our business
as to merit and receive a constantly
increasing patronage. We are forced
to the conclusion, in view of our past
experience that we must be in line as
to the quality, style of our goods,
prices and treatment of the public. We
hope all "within the sound of our
voice" will at least give us a look when
in need of anything in our line.

contents of THE ENQUIRER represent
more careful and painstaking labor
than do the contents of any other
semi-weekly newspaper published In
the state, and the time and money expended
In its production are also greater.
At the same time, on the basis of
actual service rendered, Its cost to the
subscriber is less than that of any other
South Carolina paper.
THE SUBSCRIPTION PRICE.
The subscription price of THE ENQUIRER
to single subscribers is 12
per annum; but in' clubs of two or
more we send it for only $1.75. This
reduction is for business reasons and
for the convenience of the subscriber,
and to further both of these ends we
offer the following proposition
TO CLUBMAKERS.
To the clubmaker who returns and
pays for the largest number of names
between October 15, 1903, and Wednesday,
March 16, 1904, at 6 o'clock p. m.,
we will give a first-class Babcock Top
Buggy, worth $85; or a first-class Columbia
Top Buggy with rubber tires,
valued at $85. The clubmaker will
have the option of the two propositions.
To the clubmaker who returns and
pays for the second largest club, we
will give a handsome Columbia Top
Buggy, worth $65.
The Babcock and Columbia Buggies
can be seen at Glenn & Allison's livery
stables.
