Traveling by Map.
The experiences of Captain Joseph
La Barge, as told in "The History ol
Early Steamboat Navigation on the
Missouri River," includes this story:
Captain La Barge was a pilot and
Indian trader for fifty eventful years
and on one of his trips up the river he
had a party of Englishmen aboard,
They had a map and applied themselves
industriously to the business ol
identifying the various places on il
with those along their route. They
were in the pilot house a good deal
and one of them was inclined to instruct
in the geography of the country,
the veteran pilot, who had spent all
his life on or near the river.
"What Dlace is this that we are ap
preaching. Mr. Pilot?" he asked.
"St. Charles, sir," La Barge replied.
"You are mistaken, sir. According
to the map, it is. ."
La Barge made no reply. He stopped
as usual at St. Charles and then
went his way. Presently they came
to another village.
"What place, captain?" inquired the
Englishman.
"Washington, Mo., sir."
"Wrong again. The man gives this
place as ?."
This experience was repeated several
times, the captain's temper becoming
more ruffled with each repetition.
Presently a flock of wild geese
passed over the river. The Englishmen
were standing on the hurricane
roof in front of the pilot house.'
"What kind of birds are those, captain?"
asked one of them in eager
haste.
The captain, whose language still
showed something of his French origin,
replied: "Look at your map. He
tell you."
Speaker Cannon's Cigars.?Uncle
Joe Cannon hasn't fully come to a
realization of the fact that he is tne
speaker of the house of Representatives,
or. if he has, he occasionally has
a lapse of memory.
One day this week after the house
went into committee of the whole, he
caine down from the rostum and absent-mindedly
walked through the
corridor to the room of the committee
on appropriations, of which he was
chairman for many years. Approaching
the desk he formerly occupied, he
seemed to look for something.
"What is it, Mr. Cannon?" asked one
of the clerks.
"Why, my box of cigars," said the
speaker.
"Didn't you take it with you intc
the speaker's room?" replied the clerk
pleasantly.'
"By Jove, that's right!" exclaimed
Uncle Joe with a characteristic gesture
of his left hand. "I had forgotten."
But the fact which he had forgotter
was not where he had placed his bos
of cigars, but that lie had been elected
speaker and had changed his office
from the committee on appropriations
room to the speaker's room.?

in the session he discovered that i
fairly desirable seat on the Republicar

for a week or so applied to the sergeant-at-arms.
"If no one else with a prior clairr
wants that seut," he said, "I think 1*1
take it."
"What, take that seat!" the sergeant-at-arms
fairly shouted. "Why
man, there isn't a member of the house
would have it. Two members who occupied
that seat have died within the
past year."
"I'll take it," promptly replied the
Ohio member. "I had a blamed sighl

"If you give me your address I'll have

"Gracious!" exclaimed the woman
"Do you mean to put my address or

CHESTER.
1 Lantern, November 27: A 'phone
message was received here yesterday
! from Crosbyville which indicated that
Mr. W. W. Crosby had been seriously
hurt. We are glad to learn this morning.
however, that he is not thought
"o be so badly hurt as was at first
supposed. He fell from his barn loft,
' ^ome ten feet Miss Mary Cunningham
of Halsellville, went up to
' Yorkville Wedne day morning to visit
' her aunt, Mrs. i tarr Mr. Will Atkinson
was married to Miss Todd, in
Anderson, Tuesday evening, according
~o announcement. Mr. Fred Atkinson
was not so fortunate In carrying out
his programme just as arranged, still
the essential part of it was carried
out. He was sick in Charlotte and
1 unable to go to Louisville, Ga? so Miss
1 Little, the bride, went to Charlotte
and the ceremony was performed
! there at the appointed lime. The
bridal party, including Miss Little,
'ister of the bride, and Miss Delia At1
Vinson, sister of the groom, and perhaps
others, came down yesterday and
went out to Lewisville, the home of
Mr. Atkinson's parents. Mr. and Mrs.
Will Atkinson, after a stop in Char(
lotte to witness the marriage of his
brother, went on to Baltimore
' The rally on Tuesday was a greater
success than any one expected perhaps.
Certainly the veterans turned
out in surprising numbers. A long
line of them were in the parade and
1 there were many who were late or for
one cause and another did not get into
1 line, then there were many who forty
years ago could march all day without
dinner, but now could not march
around a square. At the opera house
1 the exercises were opened with pray;
er by the Rev. H. O. Judd. Major J.
H. Marion then delivered the address
1 of welcome in behalf of the city, to
which Gov. Hey ward responded. Rev.
! A. C. Barron, D. D., of Charlotte, was
f then introduced in the place of others
oji the programme who were absent,
f and made a most appropriate and
1 feeling address. Col. J. W. Reed, com1
mander, called Walker-Gaston camp
to order, and Gov. D. C. Hey ward was
elected an honorary member and It
was resolved to confer on him a Cross
f of Honor. The governor accepted this
honor in a brief but admirable speech.
! The camp also invited Gov. Heyward
to meet with them again on January
' 19th, and make an address, when his
' and other crosses will be presented.
At the suggesti* 11 of Rev. John Bass
' Shelton. a voluntary contribution was
made for the purpose of placing
markers at the graves of the unknown
Confederate dead in Evergreen cem1
etery. This collection amounted to
k $77.91. After the close of exercises
it. the opera house, dinner was spread
for the veterans in a large vacant
store room, and we have rarely seen a
more tempting table. This was provided
by people who came in from
the country, by citizens of the town,
: and an appropriation by the city coun3
cil. The supervision and arrange"
ment of this was put entirely into the
" hands of Mr. R. M. Cross, and every
" one is applauding the manner in
i which he discharged his duty. The
5 veterans fared sumptuously, and left
i enough for many more. The Lee
* Light Infantry had tables prepared upi
stairs for the visiting companies,
where nothing was left to be desired,
1 and the young men had a delightful
1 time. In the afternoon, a large crowd
t witnessed the battalion formation on
' the square, where three companies?
Chester, Hazelwood and Fort Mill?of
1 the Third battalion were addressed in
' a very complimentary and pleasant
way by Governor Heyward, Adj. Gen.

talion, under command of Maj. J. H.
! Marion, then marched to the fair
grounds and drilled for some time, af
ter which it returned to the square
and was dismissed. The opera house
i was again well tilled at 8.30 for the ret
mainder of the day's programme, and
this was a very entertaining part,
t Rev. John Bass Shelton presided.
1 While the house was filling up, Mr.
Herndon with members of the Springstein
band discoursed choice music.
L Dr. Barron lead in earnest prayer.
i Mrs. J. Q. Hood was at the piano.
Mr. Edward Smerlng sang. "With the
1 Boys of the Sixties," Mrs. Smering
sang "Annie Laurie." "Tenting on
the Old Camp Ground" was rendered
' by Messrs. Edward Smering. Eugene
^ Culvern. Theodore Tinsley, Walter R.
Boney and John A. Hood. Mrs. John
> Bass Shelton sang "The Unknown
f Dead." Fifteen little girls sang
' "Dixie." wee Miss Adlene Hood?
i about five years old?playing the accompaniment.
During the exercises
also Mr. R. J. Herndon on the cornet
' and Mrs. Hood on the piano played
"Dixie." The music did not come as
here given, but it and the addresses
were interspersed. Adj. Gen. Frost
' was first introduced and spoke im'
press!vely of the Confederate veterans
' and some lessons which we should
learn from them. He also touched
1 upon matters pertaining to the pres
ent military organization ami its Im'
portance. Rev. Mr. Shelton then introduced
Gov. Heyward, who in a
- brief and happy speech introduced
Bishop Ellison Capers. It is seldom
(hat one hears an address at once so
entertaining and so valuable. Inci
dents and reminiscences, facts and
1 figures of the war and the heroic men
of (he south who were actors therein
were given, and lessons were drawn
. (herefrom which were addressed especially
and most earnestly to the
girls and boys ho are to be the men
am! women of (he next generation.
, While Hie speaker makes no pretentions
to oratory yet this address was
thrilling in facts and eloquent in earn
estness. We wish it could have been
hum! by every one in Chester c ounty.
, yet it would be useless for us to att
tempt even a synopsis. Such, very
! brierly. were some of the most salient
1 features of the most successful rally
Chester has ever had. We feel that
we are doing an injustice to the singi
ers and others who contributed so
much to the entertainment of the day
in not awarding them due praise for
their excellent performances, but they
are our own patriotic citizens and we
know they are satisfied with having
rendered service that was so valuable
and so manifestly appreciated. We
will be pardoned, however, for making
me special mention. It will be
admitted, without a dissenting voice
that Col. J. W. Reed was the moving
spirit of the occasion. When It comes
to memorials of the Confederate soldiers
and the cause which it appears
more plainly every day was not lost,
Col. Reed spares neither energy, lime
nor money. It is the work to which
his life is devoted.

From what Is now known of radium,
Dr. S. G. Tracy reaches these conclusions:
The discovery may make It
necessary to change our theories about
matter and the conservation of energy.
Radium may possibly open up
the way for a cheaper and more wholesome
lighting of houses by phosphorescence.
It is a practical agenl
to differentiate genuine gems from artificial.
It is a useful agent to kill
bacteria. It may be considered a valuable
agent for the treatment of lupus
cancer, tuberculosis; and a possible
agent to improve the eyesight and
overcome blindness. Later discoveries
will doubtless shew service in othei
diseased conditions.
In June, 1886, the waters of Lake
KOtomanana, i\ew ^eaiitnu, accmcu iv.
find their way to the heated rocks
near the surface of the earth in this
locality, when there was a sudden generation
of steam, and the lake was
emptied and an enormous mass ol
rock was blown out. In place of the
old lake, which was one and threefourth
miles long and three-fourth
mile wide, a much larger one is forming.
It is now six miles long, containing
ten times the old volume of water
and may rise many feet more before
finding an outlet. A tremendous eruption
is feared if some shock shoulc
bring this water in contact with molten
rocks.
The novel small boat of an Italiar

An extraordinary change in the tai
of Borelly's comet is shown by photographs
to have taken place on Jul)

miles per second In a retrograde direction,
or with an actual repulsion fron
the sun of seven miles per second, th<
comet's motion being 22 miles per second
toward the sun. Prof. Barnart
suggests that either the outbreak fron
the head suddenly took a slightly different
direction or else the existing
tail was forcibly detached by some unknown
body, like a swarm of meteorites.
The severed section floated awa)
in its old path, under the sun's repulsion.
until it was dissipated, or it'
light-emitting power died away, ant
meanwhile the new tail was evolvec
at a mysteriously increased velocity

Nature's curious provision for a long

It was evident that life during hiberI

the cathode is shown by the shining
of the mineral under it; and boti
minerals shine out when the current
is oscillating. For showing the transi
tion from one type of discharge to the
other, the two electrodes are joined tc
an Influence machine. The discharge is
continuous when the discharging rods
are pulled so far apart that no oscillitions
take place, but both crystals
shine out when the rods are neai
enough to let sparks pass.
Thoughtful nature lovers note tin

Mt. Wrangell, In Alaska, One of Na
ture's Greatest Wonders.
i
( Only a few years ago the Incessant
. !y active volcano, Mt. Wrangell, ii
, Alaska, was represented on all ou
maps as an Isolated mountain sltuat
?d in the midst of a great snow-cov
' 3ted plateau. Almost nothing wa
known of that Inland region, bu
' Mount Wrangell had attracted atteif
lion because smoke was always pour
ing from Its summit.
Exploring parties of the Unltei
States Geological Survey have b^ei
, particularly active in this region fo
' the past three years, and are at las
I able to give much definite lnformatioi
about it. It has been found that Moun
Wrangell is not a solitary mountain
[ but is in the midst of a vast array o
j summits covered with snow and gla
( t iers and spreading over an area of n<
. less than 5,500 square miles.
Within this area are at least tei
, ?now-clad peaks 12,000 feet or more ii
height. Several of these are still un
named, and two. Mount Sanford, 16,20
feet, and Mount Blackburn, 16,14
feet, are higher than Mount Blanc o
any of the peaks within the Unitei
, States south of Canada. Mount Wran
, crell. which has attracted more atten
tion than the others, because it is ai
x active volcano, is third in altitude
14,000 feet.
It Is a wonderful scene of the grim
mest desolation, peak after peak ris
[ Ing from high valleys, their blac
steep sides streaked with snow an
j the higher elevations completely whit
with it, and in the center of the pict
ure is Mount Wrangell with its col
( umn of smoke.
But Wrangell itself Is a grand moun

cones of Sanford and Blackburn. I

TIME TO BEGIN.

offers is RIGHT NOW. Let all names,
whether old or new, be returned as
rapidly as secured, so they may be
properly entered upon our books.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
Two Six Months Subscribers at $1
each will be considered the equivalent
of one yearly subscriber at $1.75, and
so counted. A subscription paid for
two or more years in advance at $1.75,
will be counted as one name for each
year so paid.
Clubmakers will be held personally
responsible for the payment of all
names returned by them. After a
clubmaker has returned and paid for
any name, he can, at anytime thereafter,
discontinue the sending of the paper
to the person for whom he has paid
and transfer the unexpired time to any
other person; provided the person to
whom the transfer is desired was not
a subscriber at the time the original
name was entered on our books.
No name will be counted in competition
for a premium until the subscription
price has been paid; nor will any
premium be delivered until a satisfactory
settlement has been made for all
names returned by the clubmaker.
Persons who commence making
clubs will not be permitted to transfer
their club to another clubmaker's list
after the names have been entered on
our books.
It Is not necessary that the names on
a club should all be at the same postoffice.

to us at the expense of those sending
them.

All subscriptions will be discontinued
at the expiration of the time paid

at a moment's notice.
In case of a tie for either premium,
two weeks will be allowed in which to
work off the tie.

MY CUSTOMERS SAY
THAT the BEEF I am furnishing
these days is just as good as has
ever been furnished in this town. It
is my constant effort to buy and kill
only fat beeves, and I think that If
you will purchase your meats here
you will get meats that you can eat.
Meats that are tender and Juicy. I
will appreciate your orders.
