The Dec?y Half Crown.
John Perclval, Bishop of Hereford,
attended the International Peu<-?> congress
In Boston. A lifelong friend of
the prelate's said of him with a smile:
When Dr. Perclval lived In Birmingham
he went one Sunday to preach in
a village on the Humber.
"The village church was small, and
only one person was needed to take up
the collection. This person, an aged
man with an intelligent face, passed
up and down the aisles with the collection
basket, and at the end, came
into the chancel and advanced to lay
the money on the sacrament table. As
he came forward with his back to the
nnnmntinn ho did ft dreadful thing.
From the collection, which was unusually
generous, he took a silver half
crown, and this coin he slipped quietly
Into his pocket.
"No one had seen him but Dr. Per- I
clval. Dr. Perclval was horrified, but
he said nothing. As he preached the
perfidious old man sat and listened
with a righteous air. The minister
could scarcely refrain from denouncing
him.
"At the sermon's end the old man
was the first to offer his congratulations.
" 'An excellent sermon, sir,' he said.
'The people of Birmingham are to be
envied.'
" 'I wish to speak to you,' said Dr.
Perclval. 'I wish to see you alone.
Walt for me."
"The old man waited, and after the
little church had emptied Itself, Dr.
Perclval said:
" 'I saw you take a half crown from
the collection basket. Why did you do
itr
" "The old man smiled.
" 'Is that what was worrying you,
sir?' he said. 'Well, make your mind
easy. That half crown has done duty
this many a year. I keep it to put in
the basket first, and then our town's
Utical prophecy that had been printed
In a London newspaper.
Mr. Redmond read the prophecy.
Then he smiled.
"This," he said, "Is hyperbolical. It
Is as hyperbolical as the mosquito story
that a resident of New Jersey told
me the other day.
"This gentleman desired to Impress
upon me the great size and ferocity of
the New Jersey mosquitoes. He said:
" 'I had a valuable cow in the spring,
and usually I kept her In the stable,
for the mosquitoes were growing in
size and in numbers, and I feared that
they might do her harm.
" 'One hot, cloudy, humid day,
though, I permitted the cow to pasture
In a marshy field. She spent the
day In the field, and toward evening I
went with one of the farm boys to
bring her home to the milking.
" 'Alas, her skeleton lay beneath a
tree, and on an adjacent fence sat a
mosquito, picking his teeth with one
of her horns.'"
A Lrrru: Too Tight.?One of "Joe"
Blackburn's friends tells a story which
dates back to the time when that distinguished
gentleman was rather a
dandy In the fashion of a forgotten
period. He o-\lered a pair of trousers
from his tailor, and he expressly
stipulated that they were to be skin
tight. The trousers came home, and
the senator tried them on. He went
right to the tailor and opened fire on
him.
"What in the Kentucky-synonyms
for places-not-on-the-map do you
mean by sending me trousers like
that?" he shouted.
"Why, you said to make them skin
tight," said the tailor.
"Skin tight!" yelled the senator.
"Yes, by thls-and-that, I said skin
tight. I wanted them merely skin
tight. I can sit down in my skin and
I can't in these."?Washington Post.
A Pleasant Story.?A pleasant
story about Andrew Carnegie was
brought from Scotland last week by a
tourist.
"At Skibo Castle," the tourist said,
"Mr. Carnegie had during the summer
a beautiful rose garden. There were
thousands of red and white and yellow
roses always blooming there, and the
villagers were free to saunter in the
garden paths to their hearts' content.
"One day the head gardener waited
upon Mr. Carnegie.
" 'Sir,' he said, 'I wish to lodge a
complaint.'
"'Well?* said the master.
" 'Well, sir,' the gardener began, 'I
wish to inform you that the village
folk are plucking the roses in your
rose garden. They are denuding your
rose trees, sir.'
" 'Ah.' said Mr. Carnegie gently, 'my
people are fond of flowers, are they,
Donald? Then you must plant
more.'"

Lantern, November 1: Mr. James

He Denied It.?"Governor Bob Taylor,
who still dabbles a little in politics.
Is out with a new story," said
an admirer of the light-hearted, sunshiny
Tennessean, "and it is told by
the governor at the expense of the
Populist party. The governor told
the story at Dresden, and repeated it
at Memphis to a jovial crowd of
friends. Here is the way he put it:
'.'Up my way there was a fellow who
. came into a car full of men one day
and declared that he could tell the
politics of eyery man In the car without
asking a single question, and asserted
that he didn't know a single
man there. Well.'Miey told him to
cut loose, and he did. He said: "That
big fellow over there with the side
whiskers and the diamond stud In his
shirt front is a Republican." The big
fellow with the side whiskers acknowledged
It. "And that little fellow
in the back seat with the red hair and
stubby beard and the snub nose,
smoking the clay pipe, is a Democrat."
"Ol am thot," said the red-haired man.
"And that long, lanky, tallow-faced
fellow over there Is a Populist," he
continued. The long, lanky fellow
rose In wrath and exclaimed: "It's a
durn lie; I've had the yaller janders."

railroad bridge spans the river,
between Gaffney and Blacksburg, the
dry sand extends nearly to the middle
of the river on the far side, and the
bottom can be seen at almost any place
where the water is usually several
feet deep. The water in the river at
Howe'l's ferry is too low for the ferry

very little crossing is done
there now. We need a bridge very
badly at that place. The business of

one hundred thousand dollars Is spent

In return we get $14,000 towards our

died at his home last Friday
night after an illness of one hour.
He had attended to his usual duties
during the day and went to bed at
his usual hour and apparently in his
usual health. About nine o'clock he
complained of being cold. In spite of
the ministrations of Mrs. McArthur,
his chilliness grew worse. Noticing
that his speech was failing, she called
some of the neighbors and also summoned
a physician. When Dr. Reld
arrived he found the patient beyond
help. He was dead within an hour
after he was first taken sick. Death
was attributed to a spasm caused by
kidney disease. Mr. McArthur leaves
a wife, but no children. He was the
only brother of Mr. S. E. McArthur,
who alone survives of that family. On
the 15th of last June Mr. McArthur
was 51 years of age. He was a member
of the Presbyterian church in Gastonla.
After services at the residence
conducted Saturday morning by Dr. J.
C. Galloway, the body was laid to rest

THREE VALUABLE WORDS.
A Lawyer Charged $10,000 Fee for
Them.
It has been said on good authority
that the highest price ever paid for a
writing was given a lawyer in this
Immediate vicinity. A certain railroad
company had lost enormous sums of
money through damage suits instituted
by those injured In grade crossing
accidents. This company had been
most particular In the matter of erecting
signs at each crossing, but Jury
after jury decided that they were of
small moment, since the warning they
conveyed was to "lookout for the cars"
or "look out for the engine," and in
almost every instance it was conclusively
proved that the damage was
caused by that part of the train not
mentioned! So In desperation the
railroad commissioned a lawyer of
wide reDUte to comnose a sien that
would "hold" In court. After some
days the following sentence, written
on a large sheet of paper, came from
the man learned In the law:
"Stop, look and listen."
Following this came a bill 'for $10,000.
So when you hear some long
tongued Individual boasting about the
dollar a word Mr. Kipling gets, or the
surprising sum paid Richard Harding
Davis for articles describing the war
he didn't see, dismiss the being as a
dealer In ant-hills, for the lawyer
aforementioned got a check for the
amount named, and, so far as history
enlightens us, no one ever before received
so much as $2,500 a word.
Before the end of a year the lawyer
was informed by the president of the
road that the new sign had saved
many times its cost. And the point I
am especially desirous of making in
regard to this sign is its immense
value to men and women generally, not
only in the matter of saving life and
limb, but in the higher sense of getting
out of life all there is in it.
Stop, look and listen.
How many of us do any one of the
three? We rush, are blind and close
our ears. Then we sue the world for
damages. Do we get them??Philadelphia

8UPER8TITION8 OF INDIANS.
Their Belief In Ghosts, Witohes and
Power of the Medicine Men.
The Indian believes there are boa
constrictors in the streams of North
America, and also that the South
American tapir lives in North America.
He calls the boa constrictor the
iste-acli-war-nayer and calls the tapir
nocas-oh mer.
The Indian believes he has a cure
and preventive for rabies or hydro
pnoDia. He aiso Deneves ne can uurc
any snake bite on earth, from a ground
rattler to a velvet tall or diamond rattler.
An Indian never was known to go
mad from a dog bite or die from a
rattler's bite, while other races succumb
to the venom of a snake or go
mad from the bite of a rabid dog. The
Indian believes that cleansing the
stomach each full of the moon by
vomiting: gives long life and good
health to all who will practice It
through life.
The Indian, when in battle and fatally
wounded, believes that if his
medicine man can reach him with his
bitter medicine before he dies it will
give him Instant relief and he will be
able to escape from the battlefield. He
thinks every man Is honest until he
finds him out, in which event he loses
all confidence In him and never gets
over It
The Indian never makes up after
falling out with any one. He may
speak as he passes, but dies with the
hatred In his heart
He belleveB as much or has as much
faith In an Indian doctor as the paleface
has in his M. D.. The Indian
doctor claims he never undertakes to
treat a patient unless he thoroughly
understands the nature of the case.
The red man once believed In witches,
but he does not now. He says
some old time Indians were witches,
but they are not the experts In medicine
they once were. He believes that
through their medicines was gained
the power of witchcraft.
The Indian believes In ghosts, but
claims that not many are able to see
them; some never see them, while
others do.?Eufaula Journal.
The Longest War.?With slight Intervals
for refreshment and rest, the
war of the Dutch against the Achlnese
has been going on for more than a
century, and though the once powerful
kingdom of Achln Is now confined to
the northwest corner of Sumatra, the
natives are still unsubdued. Each expedition
sent against the Achlnese,
though temporarily successful, has
been followed by little lasting benefits,
except that attrition has gradually
worn away the ancient kingdom.
This long war, always conducted
with great ferocity on both sides, now
seems to have degenerated into a struggle
of extermination, in which women
and children share the fate of their
sons and fathers. The Dutch regard
the Achlnese as barbarians, but little
can be said for the civilization typified
by the Dutch commander who calmly
announces as a detail of his victory
the slaughter of 281 women and 88
children.
Strangely enough, this announcement,
instead of being suppressed by
the government of \he Netherlands, Is
sent broadcast over'the world, accompanied
by no adverse comments or a
hint of official action against the commanding
general of the expedition.
And the Dutch capital is the seat of
The Hague tribunal, the place from
which rules for the amelioration of the
condition# of war, its avoidance, and
its final extinction, are supposed to
emanate.

TO CLUBMAKERS.
'.Our proposition involves a competitive
contest, In which the makers of
the two largest clubs receive rewards
far out of proportion to the work they
afe likely to do, and the rewards to all
other clubmakers will be as heretofore,
extremely liberal. It is our desire
to see to it that all who are kind
enough to help extend the subscription
lilt of THE ENQUIRER receive substantial
tokens of appreciation and
consequently there are no blanks.
NEW SUBSCRIBERS.
In order to afford the clubmakers
greater facility in introducing the paper
to new subscribers, we agree to
send such subscribers the paper from
the date of such entry of their names
until January 1, 1906, at the price of
one year's subscription, namely, $1.76.
Under this offer the new subscriber
gets so much of his subscription as
may be due before January 1, 1905,
without cost. In all such cases however.
the price of the subscription is
due and payable at the date or tne
entry of the name on our books.
Where such subscriptions are not paid
at the date of entry, they are subject
to the same conditions that apply to
other subscriptions. No name tfhqlt
was on our list on July 1, 1904, is to
be considered NEW.

will accompany the buggy we propose
to present to the maker of the largest
club.
