tumorous Jlfpartmrnt. Broken English. English is said to be one of the most difficult languages in the world for a foreigner to learn. The verbs and prepositions are particularly puzzling. A professor in an eastern college tells of the troubles of a Frenchman with the verb "to break." '1 begin to understand your language better." said my friend, M. de L , to me, "but your verbs trouble me still. You mix them up so with prepositions." -> ??? a 4not I I saw your menu, airs, o , now," he continued. "She says she intends to break down her school earlier than usual. Am I right?" "Break up her school, she must have said." "Oh, yes, I remember; break up school." "Why does she do that?" I asked. "Because her health is broken into." "Broken down." "Broken down? Oh, yes. And, indeed, since the fever has broken up In her town?" "Broken out. Will she leave her house alone?" "No; she is afraid it will be broken ?broken? How do I say that?" "Broken into." 'Certainly; it is what I meant to say." "Is her son to be married soon?" "No; that engagement Is broken? broken?" "Broken off. Ah, I had not heard." "She is very worried about it. He* son only broke the news down to her last week. Am I right?" "No; merely broke." ? Harper's Weekly. Clerk Supplied the Pretext.? ? - - Phlmm. was cnier or roiice vwuiu v? D-. talking to a reporter about his work. "My work would be more difficult," he said, "In fact, it would be Impossible' were It not that every man In the world Is a politician. Every man watches his brother man and knows that his brother man watches him in turn. Thus the work of us professional Lecoqs is kept down. "The proof of this Is that If A sees In his friend B signs of dishonesty his own moral tone relaxes and he tends to become dishonest. Thus: "There was a suburban grocer who took his clerk to a saloon one day after closing time and purchased a good many glasses of beer. Then after he began to feel talkative and trustful the grocer said: " 'Look here John, I owe $3,000.' " 'Yes, sir.' said the clerk, 'I know it.' " 'I have $2,000 In the safe.' " 'Yes. sir.' " 'And the store Is empty. The stock is completely run down. I think it is time to fall, don't you?' " 'I do' said the clerk. 'I certainly do.' " 'But I need a pretext,' said the grocer. 'Hang It. I can't find a pretext I'll tell you what you do, John. You think this matter over and let me know tomorrow any suggestion as to. a pretext for failure that may come to you during the night.' "The clerk promised to do this and the two men separated. "The next morning on the desk the grocer found this note from John: 'I have taken the $2000 and gone to South America. It is the best pretext you can give your creditors.'"?Hartford Times. Some or Her Lj-terart Loves.? They had Just met; conversation was somewhat fitful, says the Ladies Home Journal. Finally, he decided to guide it Into literary channels, where he was more at home and, turning to his companion. asked: "Are you fond of literature?" "Passionately," she replied. "I love books dearly." "Then you must admire Sir Walter Scott," he exclaimed with sudden animation. "Is not his 'Lady of the Lake* exquisite in its flowing grace and poetic imagery? Is it not?" "It is perfectly lovely," she assented, clasping her hands in ecstacy. "I suppose I have read it a dozen times." "And Scott's 'Marmion,'" he continued, "with its rugged simplicity and marvelous description?one can almost smell the hether on the heath while perusing its splendid pages." "It is perfectly grand," she murmured. "And Scott's 'Peverll of the Peak' and his noble 'Bride of Lammermoor'? where in the English language will you find anything more heroic than his grand auld Scottish characters and his graphic, forceful pictures of feudal times and customs? You like them I am sure." "I Just dote upon them," she replied. "And 'Scott's Emulsion, " he continued hastily, for a faint suspicion was beginning to dawn upon him. "I think." she interrupted rashly, "that it's the best thing he ever wrote." ?? ? t Tommy's Acts of Kindness.?Gov. Folk of Missouri was talking about reform. "We all believe In it," he said, "but we want to see it brought about at other folk's expense. We are like, to me, a certain Kansas City boy. "This boy's mother said to him on her return from a long day's shopping in the Thanksgiving season: " 'Now, I hope my little Tommy has taken to heart mamma's talk of last night about charity and unselfishness. Since he has few troubles of his own I hope he has thought of others' trou DK 8 an aay long. oince ne uas man? causes for thansgiving himself, I hope he has tried to give cause for thanksgiving to others. What is my Tommy's report for the day? How many acts of kindness has he done? How much woe has he lightened? How many hearts has my Tommy made grateful and glad?" "In this rather mushy way spoke the good young mother. And her Tommy replied: " 'I've done a whole lot of good, ma, I gave your new hat to a beggar woman. and I gave the cook's shoes to a little girl In busted rubbers what I seen on the street, and I gave a poor lame shoestring seller pa's evening suit?the open front one that he hardly ever wears."?Kansas City Journal. Gbogbaphy, as It is Tauoht.?Little Bob was a prize geographer of the class, that is, he could locate cities and bound countries with great glibness, says Success. He could draw the most realistic maps, printing in the rivers, mountain ranges and the cities from memory. Bob considered geography purely In the light of a game, in which he always beat, but he never associated It with the great world about him. Rivers to him were no more than black, wiggly lines, the cities were dots and states were blots. New York was green. Pennsylvania was red and California was yellow. Of course Bob had?never traveled. He was born in a village mar the country school he attended. One day the teacher made the discovery of Bob's idea of geography through the following incident: After vainly inquiring of several of the children where British Columbia is located, she called on Bob. who. as usual, was waving his hand excitedly, wild with enthusiasm of pent up knowledge: "It is on page sixty-eight," he declared. After the roar had subsided the teacher explained that that was only a picture of British Columbia Then she asked Bob to bound British Columbia. "Can't teacher: it's all over the page."

Dobson of Kershaw, has been spending a few days with her parents. Judge and Mrs. D. A. Williams Married, Sunday, Dec. 3. by J. M. Hilton, N. P. of White Bluff, Mr. Louis Nelll and Miss Effle Bowers, daughter of Mr. Sam'l Bowers of the Heath Springs section A difficulty occurred Sunday night In Flat Creek township, between two negroes, Levi Johnson and Hosea Thomas, in which Johnson was killed. Thomas was so badly wounded that he is not expected to live Mr. Willie Hunter, son of Mr. W. J. Hunter, and Miss Martha Hare, daughter of Mr. U. J. Hare, of the eastern portion of the county, were married last Sunday by Notary Public B. F. Adams Mr. H. Hlnes, one of Lancaster's leading attorneys, narrowly escaped having a serious fire at his home, on Cemetery street, at an early hour Saturday morning. As Mr. H. N. Sowell was passing Mr. Hlnes's place shortly before daylight, on his way to his livery stable up town, he discovered the fowl house on the premises in a blaze. He promptly gave the alarm and in a short time the flames were extinguished. Owing to the timely discovery of the fire Mr. Hlnes's barn "ear by and other buildings were no doubt saved. The origin of the Are was <lue to the carelessness of a servant In placing a box of ashes by the fowl house the day before Mr. D A. Cauthen, a well known young citizen of Heath Springs had a thrilling experience last Friday night. He had carried a young lady from a party in Heath Springs to her home In the Oakhurst section and as he was return'ng home by himself he was made the victim of an attempted "hold-up." Driving along In his buggy Mr. Cauthen noticed his norse suddenly pricK up us ears auu i about the same time an unknown man , with a gun in his hand stepped into the road in front of the animal and , ordered Mr. Cauthen to halt. Instead of doing *#, however. Mr. Cauthen with one hand lashed his horse and urged him forward and with the other drew his revolver and fired two or three shots in the direction of the stranger, who turned and disappeared in the darkness. Mr. Cauthen thinks that the party was a white man. Search was made in the neighborhood Saturday for the person, by citizens of Heath Springs, but without success. GASTON.

The bride Is a prepossessing young ady of a lovable disposition, while the Stroom Is an energetic and worthy young man. They have the good wishes of a wide circle of friends." DYING MODOCS. 5nly Handful Left of Tribe of Fighters. Down In the Indian Territory on the little reservation allotted to the remnant of the Modoc tribe, lives an old tvoman, who for more than thirty fears, has worn the mourning emclems peculiar to her people. This InJlan woman Is known to the whites as :he Princess Mary, and to the Modocs is "Mother." The mourning of Princess Mary Is vorn for her brother, Capt. Jack, chief jf the Modocs, who, thirty-three years igo was hanged by the whites for the murder of Brigadier General E. R. S. I*anby, United States army. The Princess Mary Is feeble, but It Is not likely that the hatred In her heart has jrown weak with the advancing years. Two other white men were slain at the time General Canby fell. The killings were followed by a war with the Modocs, and at its close there were several hangings. Captain Jack, the leader of the reds, suffered first. The United States took full revenge for the loss it had undergone, but in all the preceding years it had never attempted to lay a correcting hand on the whites, who by treachery, had cut cfT the flower of the Modoc tribe. There are scarcely two score of Princess Mary's people left. Her mourning Is as much for her tribe as It Is for her brother. Years ago there svere many Modocs, and they were as crave as any of the people of the west irn country. The heart has been srushed out of them, and today they ire a pitifully decadent race. The Modoc home was in Southern Oregon, in the land watered by the Lost river. The whites came overland and invaded the Modocs* valley home, and attempted to take possession without even the formality of a treaty. The Modocs fought the invaders and killed some of them, though the tribe lost heavily in the battles. A frontiersman named Wright lost two comrades in a fight with a band if braves, and he sought revenge for their death. He formed a wagon train of covered vehicles of the kind known as prairie schooners. Into evsry wagon he put a load of armed men, but the caravan had every appearance of being the outfit of peace'ul settlers. The wagons were driven nto the valley of the Lost river, but the Modocs refused to attack It, for they never had made war, save when t was made certain that the invaders ntended to steal their lands and this rain apparently, was , only passing through to the country beyond. Wright's ruse having failed, he plotted anew. He secured a small trading >utfit, and, putting on the dress of jeace, he sent runners to the Modoc Milages, asking the tribe to meet him it the edge of a grove near the foot )f a small range of hills, there to exihange pelts for gewgaws dear to the Indian heart. The Modocs, men, women and chilJren, came all unsuspecting and unirmed. They sat upon the ground in i great throng about the supposed rader. Suddenly the hillsides and the move were aflame with rifle fire, rhere were a hundred concealed white murderers to deal out death to the defenseless Modocs. The Indians broke and fled, but hey left scores of their braves, squaws and pappooses dead or dying r> th? vnllev The whites DUt the ivounded ones to the knife. Captain Tack, the brother of the Princess Mary ivas present at this massacre as a boy. ifears later an enlightened governnent hanged him for seeking vengeance. One Modoc succeeded in getting >artlal vengeance before Capt. Jack lad arrived at a warrior's estate. The irave lured the frontiersman, Wright, )ut of his cabin aand shot him to leath. It was said by an officer of he First Cavalry, a regiment that was ordered into the field against the MoIocs after the killing of Gen. Canby, :hat Just before Capt. Jack was hang?d, he asked how many white men had oeen hanged for the murder of the Modoc women, in the valley of Lost river. In 1870 the government forced the Modocs to move on to thp Klamath reservation. The Klamaths at once attacked them, and being the stronger, thty overcame the tribe that had been irive.n Into their company. Then the Brovernment moved the Modocs to another part of the reservation. The Klamaths attacked again, but were :1 riven off. The Modocs had no food, dnd the agent refused to issue rations to them. The bunds of Cupt. Jack thought of their old homes, and between sunset and sunrise they stole away to the 'i"''- !*??# bo/l Iw.latitriwl f 11 th^lr ji n - I estops before tlie grasping whites had seen II (iiul coveted It. Indian Superintendent A. I'. Mem-ham went to the M?m1hc*. and. thinking that he hud the iiiithnrlty. he told them they might remain where they were. The Modocs held a dance ?>f thanksgiving, and sent word that their hearts were good, lind that th? y would keep peace for all time. Within a month the government broke Its promise and ordered the forcible removal of the tribe back to the reservation of the hated Klamuths. The Modocs were surprised by the troops and five warriors were killed. Later the reds took revenge and then fled Into the fastnesses of the lava beds, where the First Cavalry was sent to dislodge them. Through eastern Influence, a peace commission was appointed. Treachery, however, had made all men of white skins, liars and murderers to the Modoc mind. The peace commissioners, Gen. Canby, A. B. Meacham, and a clergyman named Thomas, were killed after they had been lured t/-> o KAnforoncn hut In the ktllinsr the reds were only retaliating In Kind for the murder of their women and little ones. For months the Modocs fought the troops from the strong places In the lava beds, but finally they were overcome and their leaders and three lesser warriors suffered felons' deaths. In a few years the Modocs will be but a name. Their story should fill several chapters of the book which tells of the red man's wrongs.?Chicago Post.
