Jiuraorous J) r part men t. She Taught Him Tact.?The late Louis Flelschmann, the millionaire baker, not only distributed food to the poor men in the "bread line" he had established in New York, but he also got these men employment. He went among them and conversed with them and the delicacy of his questions to them, and the care he took not to hurt their feelings was remarkable. One day a reporter complimented Mr. Flelschmann on this tact of his. The philanthropist said: "The more unfortunate and wretched people are, the more sensitive they are; the more easily they are wound ed. The public does not bear this fact enough in mind. "And yet it is a fact that is continually being proved?sometimes pathetically, sometimes humorously. It was proved humorously to a friend of mine last summer in Scotland. "He was making a walking tour. He was climbing mountains and viewing lakes and torrents. One morning on a quiet road he met a young woman, tall and comely, who walked barefooted. "Surprised, my friend stopped the young woman and said: " 'Do all the people hereabouts go barefooted ?' "She answered: " 'Some of them do, and the rest mind their business.'" A Personal Favor of the Court.? One of the most picturesque figures of the New York bar was the late Thomas Nolan, a wyer, whose witty retorts furnished subjects for merriment at many a lawyers' gathering. Now, Nolan was at one time counsel for a poor widow who was suing a construction company for the death of her husband. The case had been placed upon the day calendar, but had been frequently postponed, and Mrs. Morlarity by the time she had made her fifth call was In an exceedingly disturbed frame of mind, consequently the tones of Nolan's rich brogue were more than usually fervid as he fought against the sixth, adjournment "I am sorry," said Justice Dugro, "but your opponent has shown me good cause for the adjournment, Mr. Nolan, and the case will, therefore, go over until tomorrow." "Very well, sor," said the barrister, sweetly, "but might I ask wan personal favor of this coort?" "Certainly, sir, with pleasure." "Will your honor kindly step down to my office and Just tell Mrs. Morlarity that you have adjourned the | case?"?Success. The Victorious Flea.?One of the Justices of the United States supreme court dined with a Washington family who are ardent advocates of a vegetarian diet In the course of dinner, which consisted, says the New York Evening Post, of all the delicacies of edible plant life in season, the hostess undertook the conversion of her beef reared guest. But despite her arguments, which were cleverly based on the chemical constituents of various kinds of food, the Jurist was" not convinced. "But surely, Mr. Justice," she said finally, "you must admit that vegetarianism means strength and ability when you remember that the rabbit, which feeds wholly on vegetables, can make such great leaps over the ground from hiding place to hiding place." "True, madam," answered the distinguished man gravely, "but we must also remember that the minute creature for which naturalists claim the ability to Jump more times its own length than any other belongs in the class of pure carnlvora." No Excuse.?Dr. Yamel Yin, the talented Chinese woman now traveling in America is opposed to capital punishment and to war. To a reporter the other day Dr. Yamel Yin talked about the reforms that she favored. She talked earnestly. Then she smiled. "I smile," said the Chinese physician, "because I am reminded of a story. It is the story of a Chinese criminal, an educated Chinese criminal, a graduate of Oxford. "This man killed another as vulgarly and brutally as any coolie would have done. He was tried, found guilty and condemned to death. The judge said to him: " 'Prisoner, the sentence of the court is that you be beheaded tomorrow morning. Have you anything to say for yourself? Are you able to advance any reason why this sentence " should not be pronounced on you?' " 'My lord,' said the prisoner, 'I am a member of a society for the abolition of capital punishment.*" He Had Suffered No Harm.?Dr. Edward Everett Hale tells a story of a New York clergyman who had received a call to a fashionable suburb of Boston. A gentleman who had in his employ two English grooms accidentally overheard the following conversation between the two servants: It appears that the first groom, who had for some time been endeavoring to get the second groom to attend service at the church presided over by the New York clergyman, said: "Didn't you like the sermon?" "Very much," replied the other, "very much, even hif 'e is a bit 'igh church and Hi a Methodist. Hi thinks as 'ow I'll probably hattend tne narternoon service, too." "HI just knew you'd change your mind," remarked the first groom, triumphantly. "As HI told yer, I've 'eard 'lm twict an' what 'arm 'as it done me?"?Collier's Weekly. Why the Preacher Objected.?A story of an eccentric Wesleyan minister is too good for the "erasure of oblivion." One Sunday he caused some surprise by declaring that he did not in the least object to people sleeping while he was preaching. A few minutes later he and his hearers were disturbed by the loud snoring of a man just below the pulpit. "Give him a tap on the head." said the minister. This was done, ineffectually. "Give him another," came the order again. Still the man slumbered. But at length, by dint of much tapping and shaking, he was recalled into abashed consciousness. "You are making a wretched noise," roared the minister, leaning over the pulpit edge. "I don't mind you sleeping, but you are preventing other people from sleeping!"?London Telegraph.

Gaffney Ledger, Oct. 25: Our people were saddened Saturday morning by the intelligence that Fred Littlejohn was dead at his home in Spartanburg. For several months Mr. Littlejohn has been a popular salesman at Mr. J. W. Tolleson's store in this city. On Monday morning last he asked permission of his employer to go to his home for a few days, as he was not feeling well; and he left on the morning train. No more was heard from him till Saturday morning, when a phone message came to Mr. Tolleson saying he was dead, he having rapidly succumbed to typhoid fever. The funeral services were conducted Sunday at the home of the young man's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Felix Littlejohn, by Rev. W. P. Smith. The remains were then interred in Oakv.ood cemetery, Spartanburg, in the presence of a large gathering of relatives and friends who admired the young man during his life. ....There was an interesting singing convention at Beaverdam church Sunday. A large crowd was in attendance, and the singing was good The fire alarm was sounded Saturday afternoon, and the whistle shrieked long and vigorously. The streets were soon thronged with people looking for the fire, which was finally discovered to be at the Victor Oil company, the roof of which was burning. The fire company turned out and the flames were soon extinguished and before any material damage was done, the extent of the damage being a small hole burned in the roof. It was thought the Are started from a match which had been carelessly dropped by some one around the gin, as Mr. Lipscomb found a package of tobacco lying near by, Indicating that some thoughtless person had been smoking in the vicinity of the place where the first was first discovered There was a fire Sunday afternoon on Mr. R.

Gastonia Gazette, Oct. 25: Mr. Sidney Shields White died rather suddenly last Friday night about seven o'clock. He had been suffering from stomach trouble since last summer. In August he spent a week in St. Peter's hospital at Charlotte, but without permanent relief. However he continued to go about and was in Dallas last Monday. Tuesday he had a chill, Friday he became worse, and about night fall he died. Sidney Shields White was a son of the late Colonel J. W. White and was born fifty-seven years ago last April at the old White homestead. His brothers Henry and Thad and his mother have all died within a few months. He leaves two brothers, Mr. Jno. B. and Mr. Sam White, and also three sisters, Mrs. W. V. Ramseur, Mrs. Miles Pasour and Mrs. G. T. Gamble. Mr. White leaves a widow, who is the daugnter or air. ?. tr. rasour, uuu iuui children. Mrs. Will Clemmer of Bessemer, and Miss Jessie and two younger sons at home. Mr. White was a brave Confederate soldier and was a member of the Junior Reserves in Captain J. Q. Holland's company. He was a good citizen and neighbor, and his death is mourned by a wide circle of relatives and friends. Mr. White was buried Saturday afternoon at the old home place, on the knoll overlooking the White and Jenkins mill. Funeral exercises at his home were conducted by Dr. J. C. Galloway A pretty little romance came to light Sunday morning when it became known that Miss Delia Johnson and Mr. R. Hope Brlson had been secretly married nearly a week previous. That they were soon to be married was generally known to their friends, but it was not in the least surmised that the wedding had already taken place. Tuesday evening, soon after the Kirkpatrick-McLaughen wedding at the First Baptist church at which both were present, Mr. Brison and Miss Johnson drove across the line to Bowling Green where the knot was tied by 'Squire R. M. Dulin. They returned to Gastonia, going to their respective homes. The secret was well kept till Sunday morning when they let their friends know of ' KrMo la an plished and attractive young lady of many personal charms and is exceedingly popular among the young people of the town. She is a daughter of the late Mrs. R. L. Johnson and a sister of Mr. J. Flem Johnson and Mrs. W. T. Rankin. The groom is a native of Clover but has been a resident of Gastonia for several months. He is a telegraph operator in the cotton exchange of Messrs. W. O. Gattls & Co. Mr. and Mrs. Brison are at home for the present at Mr. W. C. Abernethy's. They will go to housekeeping this week in the house on Narrow Gauge street to be vacated by Mr. John Williams Mr. Ragan Ormand's barn was destroyed by fire about dusk Wednesday evening. This barn was about two miles from Mr. Boyce McGlirs, which was burned about the same hour of the day, and caught the same way up in the loft on top of the hay. It is believed that an incendiary has been at work. Mr. Ormand is a brother of Mr. J. J. Ormand, bookkeeper at the Trenton. His loss in building and contents is $600 or $800. The Friendly Matrons' club was delightfully entertained Thursday afternoon at 3.30 o'clock by Mrs. James A. Page at her home on West Air Line street. Besides the members there were present as guests of the club Mrs. D. A. Page, Misses Emma and Laura Page, and Miss Rudlsill ofLincolnton. A very pleasant feature of the occasion was the rendition of several musical numbers by Mrs. Thomas Lee Craig, Miss Emma Page and Mrs. J. A. Page. Delicious refreshments were served in three courses.

One sultry afternoon a gentleman who was staying In India was lying in a hammock swung on the veranda of his bungalow. He was whlling away the time eating fruit and biscuits, when all at once he saw a little sharpnosed, bright-eyed creature all covered with smooth fur and looking something like a bandicoot rat and something like a squirrel, coine creeping slyly along the floor. He threw it a bit of banana, which at first startled it, and it acted as though it was going to run, but pretty soon it seemed to think better of it, and turned back and snapped up the morsel. The gentlemen grew interested and gave it some biscuit crumbs, which it ate, by de mnra fa miliar and in clined to make friends. Just then some one approached and the creature ran away. Then the gentleman was token very ill with a fever, and one day when he was just beginning to recover he sent his servant away and composed himself to take a nap. Just as he was about to doze off into dreamland he saw a horrible sight. Describing it, he says: "Creeping into the room from the veranda, coll after coll, was a huge hooded cobra, the deadliest snake In all India, more than seven feet long, and as thick as a man's arm. For a moment I was fairly dumb with horror, and then, although I knew it was no use, I instinctively called for help; but my voice^ was so weak that it couldn't even have been heard in the next room. "On came the snake, rearing up its horrid spotted hood angrily, and blowing out its head, as it does when it means mischief. It had already got to the foot of the bed, and was Just preparing to crawl up when I heard a skirr of tiny feet across the floor, and I saw my squirrel-rat friend, little Tommy. The brave little fellow never hesitated for a moment, but went right at the cobra like a tiger, and gave it a bite that drew blood like the cut of a knife." The upshot of the matter was, Tommy and the snake fought a duel, and upon its victory depended the life of the sick man. Again and again the rat-squirrel attacked the reptile, biting and biting, and always escaping the enemy's blow, until at last the ratsquirrel actually bit off the snake's head. But Just as this happened, the snake in its flopplngs knocked some glass off a table and the attendants in the house, hearing the crash, came rushing in. As it turned out, the little rat-squirrel was a mongoose. These creatures are the greatest serpent killers in the world. Thus this gentleman, by making a pet of the little mongoose, had found a friend that actually <aved his life.?Pearson's Weekly. ON WINNING A WOMAN. Herbert Kelcey Enumerates Thirteen Ways of Courting. The New York Journal recently published a symposium of opinions as to "The Way to Win a Woman." Herbert Kelcey, who, with Effle Shannon, has just scored an enormous success In "Taps," at the Lyric theater, suggested the following thirteen methods: 1. Be considerate of her In small things. Small things make up a woman's life. 2. Remember always , that everywhere in the animal kingdom kind and not sex makes difference In brain. 3. Need her and let her know It. Women understand best that It Is more blessed to give than to receive. 4. Let her feel before, and particularly after marriage, that she is more Important than your business. You wouldn't care to be supplanted In her thoughts by constant musing over that $3.17 that slipped through her hands yesterday. 5. Before marriage kiss her as though she were your wife?afterward kiss her as though she were your sweetheart. 6. Never abuse her confidence. Her faith In you is capital, which you will have to invest many times. 7. Compel her respect. Respect is the mother, and admiration the father of love. | 8. Take an Interest In her affairs. You would be hurt If she took no Interest In yours. 9. Devote at least a quarter of the thought to entertaining her during a lifetime that you would devote to entertaining her pretty sister half an hour. 10. Don't "nag." Men nag as much as women, and vaccination, the slow scrapping away of the skin, pains more than the quick Incision of the surgeon's knife. 11. Remember that she Is the better half of yourself, and "to thine own self be true." 12. Be generous, not lavish. When she Is your wife, she Is your partner. Never compel her to ask for money. A woman feels dependence as much as a man would. 13. I have devoted as much attention to the subject of winning the woman you have won as to winning 1 ?v?/V??A me woman you naven i. u ia uwic important to keep the love of your wife than to create love in the object of your attentions. Eternal vigilance is the price of eternal afTectlon. Never say to yourself, "I've caught the car." You may fall ofT. Shrewd Druggists.?"The cocaine fiend is more of a nuisance than the man who wants to be straightened up after a jag," said a druggist. "A 'coke fiend' would barter his shoes and his shirt for a bit of the memory killer, and he works all sorts of schemes to get the stuff. "Not long ago a chap entered the store while I was busy," said my friend the druggist, "and asked me for a bunch of prescription blanks for Dr. Blank, whose office is only a square away. It was a moment of preoccupation on my part, and I handed out a pad of blanks. In a couple of days the same chap returned with a prescription for cocaine, signed by the same physician. He didn't get it. I happened to know the signature of the physician, and It was not done well on this particular prescription. "More than a prescription is neces sary to fool a drug-gist. It looks easy ' to copy a form from one piece of paper to another, but not one person in ten who does not know the medicine can do it successfully. We can spot a forger more easily than a bank cashier. There's always something missing when an amateur writes a prescription."?Pittsburg Gazette. Railroads and Mjen.?The railroads are manager with more energy and fairness than other business corporations. Any railroad official will be a little more than fair in any business transaction, rather than have trouble or go to law. In addition to this, the railroads are largely responsible for the great prosperity of the country. The unusual shipping facilities in America have resulted in many prosperous communities that could not otherwise exist. Hundreds of towns are supported almost entirely by railroads, to say nothlnar of the Indirect benefits enjoy ed by the country because of the fair and enterprising: methods of these corporations. The same thing: is true of some men. In many towns there are citizens who try to accomplish something for themselves and for the communities in which they live. These men have been abused so much by cheap and envious loafers that it is almost discreditable to speak well of them, although they are the best men in their respective communities.
