tumorous Jrpartmrnt. An Ekcblljint Juror.?The Judge had his patience sorely tried by lawyers who wished to talk and by men who tried to evade Jury service. Between hypothetical questions and excuses it seemed as If they never would get to the actual case. So when the puzzled little German who had been accepted by both sides Jumped up the Judge was exasperated. "Shudge!" cried the German. "What is it?" demanded the judge.) "I fink I like to go home to my wife," said the German. "You can't" retorted the judge. "Sit down." "What box?" said the German. "Jury box," said the Judge. "Oh, I thought It vas a bad box that people gets Into somedimes." "No," said the Judge, "the bad box Is the prisons' box." "But shudge," persisted the lltttle German, "I don't speak good English." "You don't have to speak any at all," said the judge. "Sit down." The little German pointed at the lawyers to make his last desperate plea. "Shudge," he said, "I can't make nodding of what these felle'rs say." It was the Judge's chance to get even for many annoyances. "Neither can anyone else," he said. "Sit down." With a sigh the little German sat down.?The Green Bag. That &lbepino Car Hammock.? Patrick O'Connor and Dennis Boyle were traveling in a sleeping car. It was a brand-new experience for Dennis and fraught with much interest and not a few qualms, but Patrick, having once before spent a night in a sleeping-car berth, felt himself a seasoned traveller and as such patron Jzed Dennis. When the time for retiring came Patrick stowed himself away in the upper berth, leaving the lower berth for Dennis. There was much struggling and sighing from behind the curtains of lower berth. "How ye gittln' on Dennis?" called down Pat. "Sure I'm all right," replied Dennis. But still the disturbance went on. "Most ready for slape, Dennis?" said Patrick. "All right! All right!" replied Dennis again. Silence for five minutes. Finally Dennis' voice came quaveringly In the semi-darkness. "The clothes is here, and me shoes they're here, too, all put away, but how to git meself into the little hammock to slape. begorra, I don't know."? Woman's Home Companion for April. ? ^ 9 Convlnckp.?It is said that, although the celebrated advocate. Lord Erskine, was sometimes Jocular and occasionally a little unfair In his treatment of witnesses. no man was better able than he to make them realize the foolishness or utter irrelevance of their replies without giving offense. At one time a witness obstinately refused to be sworn in the usual manner, but stated that, although he would not "kiss the book " he would "hold up his hand" and swear. Erskine asked him what reason he had for preferring such an ec centric way to the ordinary memoa. "It is written In the book of Revelation," replied the obstinate .man, "that the angel standing oh the sea 'held up his hand.'" "That Is very true," said Ersklne with a smile, "but I can hardly see how that applies to your case. In the first place, you certainly are not an angel, and, In the second place, you cannot tell?you have no means of knowing?how the angel would have sworn If he had stood on dry ground as you do." There was no flippancy or Irreverence In Ersklne's tone, and after a moment's reflection the stubborn witness yielded the point, impressed by the advocate's common sense view of the matter, and took the oath in the usual manner. Brothers.?Bishop Kemper of Kansas was the victim of a hold-up one night when he was the only passenger. The driver told the road agent, who had coverd him with a six-shooter, that his only passenger was a bishop. "Well," said the robber, "wake up the old man, I want to go through his pockets.,. When the bishop was aroused from a sound slumber and realized the situation he gently remonstrated with the man behind the gun. He said: "Surely you would not rob a poor bishop. I have no money worth your while, and I am engaged in the discharge of my sacred duties." "Did you say you were a bishop?" asked the road agent. "Yes, Just a poor bishop." "What church?" "The Episcopal church." "The hell you are! Why, that's the church I belong to. Driver, you may pass on."?Right Rev. Ethelbert Talbert, in Harper's Magazine.

Would you like to hear the story of a hero? It was just 632 years ago this week, that the bravest of brave Scottish kings was born. You have all heard his name. It was Robert Bruce. He was descended from Robert de Bruis a Norman knight, who went with William the Conqueror of England In 1066, and who founded the Illustrious family of Bruce, famous in Scottloh hlotAPV They were all fighters; of course, Robert Bruce was trained as a soldier and spent his life battling for his country. None of his family and few heroes equalled him in bravery. When Bruce was only twenty-two years old. he was head of a large army, and joined the Scottish leaders in arms against England for the independence of their country. He became one of the four regents of the Scottish kingdom and was crowned King of Scotland at Scone on March 27. 1305. Then began the fierce struggles of the Scotch against the English. Bruce was at first overcome and his estates confiscated, and he was forced to retire to the mountain wilderness for refuge. But two years later, he had rescued the whole of Scotland from the English and taken possession of the Isle of Man. Thougli the English tried hard they could not oust the Scotsmen and the independence of Bruce and his kingdom were recognized at the treaty of March 4. 1328. The greatest battle fought by Bruce was that of Bannockburn. near Stirling Castle, when the English army of 100,000 men, was totally routed by the Scotch numbering 30.000 and 15.000 camp-followers. The loss of the Scotch is said to have been only 5,000 while the English left 30 000 dead on the Held. A beautiful monument to Robert Bruce stands today upon a high cliff overlooking the old battle field which is now covered by well kept villages and farms, with the winding Forth Howl.ig "T"- ...ov ?ne the UflWCl'll. 1 111- luunoi muj -v "Bore stone." where Bruce planted his standard on that eventful day, June 24, 1314. A pretty story is told of Robert Bruce, who, in a time of distress and weakness, took refuge in a cave. Worn with fighting and fasting, he fell asleep. When he awoke, still somewhat discouraged. he noticed a spider that was busy at work spinning a web at the opening of the cave The energy and industry of the busy little weaver impressed and touched him. lie arose with fresh courage, reunited his brave scattered forces and went on to victory.?Philadelphia Record.

ROBERT [ From the Yorkvllle Enquirer of 1876. INSTALLMENT XXX. s Effect of the Revolution. e The trans'tion from one form of gov- q ernment to another Is ever attended c with inconveniences. A revolution, ^ (whatever, may be Its nnai results, ia a at the time of Its consummation, at- j tended with sacrifices. Most of the j great revolutions which have taken place have been perfected with blood. ^ A revolutionary period Is commonly a period of blood. Such, however, was n not the case In South Carolina durIng the revolution of 1719 and 1720. It was a peaceable revolution. No ^ blood was shed. Still It had been at- j tended with bitter feelings and harsh t and provoking words. So Intense had been the Interest of the people In the movement that everything else was partially neglected. Agriculture and commerce were In a languishing condl- " tlon. Science and religion flourish only ' In times of peace. 0 The transition from the proprietary ^ to the royal government was not so e abrupt as most other revolutions. It v was not a revolution from a republic F to a monarchy; for the proprietary v government of South Carolina, as It * existed from the settlement of the col- e ony until 1719 was neither a monarchy 0 nor yet a republic; but a kind of mon- ^ grel aristocracy. A few nobles often v with little sense and less prudence, * ruled. These nobles were themselves v the subjects of England. Perhaps no 1 better description could be given of a the proprietary government than to ' caJl it a kind of feudal system. The * Inhabitants of the colony were of British descent and British In all of their fl notions of government. They loved the English laws and they loved the Eng- * llsh manners and customs. Hence a there was nothing abrupt In the change c I from the proprietary to the royal gov- ^ ernment. They were bound to England c by the strongest ties. It was the native land of large numbers of them, and c the native land of the fathers of by far * the largest portion of the remainder. 1 They called England home. Even that ^ portion of the inhabitants who had c come from other countries, preferred 0 the government of England to that of ? the weak and Inefficient government of ^ the proprietors. Such being the true 8 condition of things in the colony of 8 South Carolina at the time of the first r revolution, the transition was easy and a attended with but few of those evils t that follow in the wake of revolutions 8 generally. r Nicholson a Good Governor. 0 The king was fortunate in the ap- C pointment of a governor, Francis Nicholson was eminently qualified for such a position at such a time. By education a soldier, and possessed of fine ad- r ininlstrative powers, the only blemish t that attached to his character was that a he was irreligious and profane. As a we will learn from his subsequent his- I tory in connection with the colony of t South Carolina, he presented one of ( those anomalous instances of an indl- r vidual, impious himself, but not ap- ? proving of impiety in others. s So soon as Governor Nicholson ar- I rived, which was about the middle of I the year 1721, the waves of popular tu- > mult ceased to roll. He was met by t the advocates of both the royal and c proprietary government with open i hands and open hearts. Joy pervaded every bosotn. Governor Johnson, we are almost prepared to say, gladly yielded up all pretensions to power, and united with the people In their demonstrations of joy. We are not to conclude that Robert Johnson was a man blown about by every popular breeze. He remained true to the proprietors until the change of government was legally effected and then yielded. To have done otherwise would have been treason. The determination* seems to have been formed by every individual to bury the past. No references were made to the past difficulties; but all vied with each other in promoting the peace and prosperity of the settlement. At this period but a very small portion of what is now the state of South Carolina was settled by Europeans. No one except some traders ever ventured more than fifty miles from the sea. All of the middle and upper sections of the state were in the undisturbed possession of the Indians. At Dorchester and Wilton a few families had settled and constructed something that at least bore the name and to ? some extent served the purpose of for- ? tlflcatlons against the attacks Of their Indian neighbors. The great majority of the inhabitants were settled in and t around Charles Town. During and af- ( ter the Yamassee war, many of the f frontier settlers removed to Charles c Town for protection. This, together j, with immigrants who, from time to j time joined the colony, tended to t spread the town beyond the fortifica- e tions. Still Charles Town, in 1719, was c but a small place. e Restoration of Good Feeling. t The first thing that Governor Nlch- i olson did on assuming the government \ was to order an election to be held for I members of the assembly. The elec- t tlon passed off to the satisfaction of L all parties, and the assembly, on con- r vening. chose James Moore, their gov- 1: ernor, speaker. Governor Nicholson c confirmed their choice. Among the I first things done by the assembly was a to pass an act recognizing King i George I, as the lawful and undoubted t sovereign of Great Britain, France and v Ireland, and especially of South Caro- r Una. The wisdom and goodness of the t king was acknowledged for appointing t General Francis Nicholson, governor v of the colony. c So far as it could the assembly, with c the assent of the governor and his t council, blotted out everything that <1 tended in any way to foster bitter feel- L ing between the late parties. Tlds ef- c fort to reconcile the late adherents of t James Moore and those who espoused t the cause of Robert Johnson, was en- s tirely successful. o Governor Nicholson now directed his n attention to strengthening the colony t against Its enemies. Previous to his a departure from England, a treaty of F peace between England and Spain has b been signed, in which it was agreed p that the Spanish colony in Florida e should not molest the English colony h in South Carolina, neither should the ii English colony in South Carolina mo- ti lest the Spanish colony in Florida, h This was a favorable circumstance. By p the terms of this treaty the Indians re- e JTH CAROLINA, j 8 i nent to the Close ot I i lotion. ? t ' LATH AN, I>. D. F b J n Iding within the territory claimed by he two colonies, were to be restrain- c d from depredations on the settlers. q lov. Nicholson had the foresight todls- r over that the good will of the neigh- * orhood tribes of Indians was neces- v ary to the peace and prosperity of the ^ nfant colony. On learning that the 1 ndians had, In most Instances, been c rovoked to acts of cruelty and blood p y the rapacious and unjust acts of the 0 whites, he called a convention of the 1 iclghborlng chiefs. The Cherokees 1 iere Invited to come and enter Into an r Ilia nee with the colonies. This Invl- c at Ion was joyfully accepted by the c ndians, and representatives from tfilr- v y-seven of their towns were sent to * onsult with Governor Nicholson. Progress In Civilization. ; At this convention a multitude of t Ittle things In themselves, but of vast t mportance to the comfort and security 0 f the colony, were arranged. A unlormity of weights and measures was g stabllshed. The various minor tribes fere united Into one, and one chief a ilaced over all. The honor of chief t farrlor was conferred upon Wrose- r asalaw. To him was granted the pow- j. r to punish those who might be guilty t f trespassing upon the rights secured f >y the treaty both to the Indians and ^ fhltes. Between the Creeks, one of c he most powerful tribes, and the e ihltes, the Savannah river was to be r he boundary. A resident agent was j. ppolnted for the tribe, whose business j t was to regulate all dealings with the e ndians. This convention was of vast lmport.nce to the colony. It secured, at c east for a time, the good will of the t ndians, and gave to the inhabitants, r lready so long harassed with war'and ilvll strife, time and opportunity to t levote their attention to the arts of j, Utilization. I In 1721 when Francis Nicholson be- 8 ame governor, the white population of s South Carolina was about 10,000, and ( he negroes about twice tnat nummr. Schools' had been established and hurches built; but neither the cause ?f education nor of religion was In a lourishing condition. The government lad, from the beginning, been too untable for the welfare of either reli;ion or education. The Yamassem had educed several country churches to ishes, and in some communities, not ar from Charles Town, no public reli;ious teaching had been enjoyed for a lumber of years. Governor Nicholson aid a number of good men of the col?ny directed their attention to this natter. Nicholson Encourages Religion. As said before, Governor Nicholson nade no pretensions to religion. On he contrary, he Is represented as being in exceedingly profane man. Still In i very laudable manner, he gave both lis approbation and pecuniary support ' o the spread of the gospel. , The Georgetown community had been so nuch neglected that the people retain- 1 >d scarcely a resemblance of religion imongst them. To reclaim these peo)le Governor Nicholson proposed to )ulld a church in their midst by pri- 1 'ate subscription. This subscription he ' leaded with a liberality worthy of the 1 ibject in view and the position which j le held. The parish of St. George was 1 aken out of St. Andrews, and a church { )uilt partly by public donation and ' mrtly by private contributions. Application was made by the governor to the ' toclety in England for the propagation )f the gospel in foreign parts, for an ' innual allowance to clergymen above ,vhat was paid them by the colony. In ' connection with churches the necessity ' 'or schools was taken Into conslderalon. It was argued that the school 1 louse and the church were mutually lependent upon each other, and civilzed society absolutely dependent up- 1 >n both. Impressed strongly with ' he idea, school houses were built ' ind teachers employed. In these 1 schools not only the elements of edueaion were taught byt the principles of Christian religion were explained. Ev*ry school house was. as It should be, l nursery In which plants were reared joth for the church and for the state. spirit of liberality possessed the men >f the day, worthy of emulation of the nen of the present time. Whltmarsh, anllam and Beresford left their esates, or the most of them, which in aggregate amounted to more than $67.100, for the purpose of establishing free ichools of high order. Charlatans In Those Days. During the administration of Nlch>lson, a romantic but melancholy event ransplred. In the colony, there was a amlly of French descent by the name if Dutarque. This family was defended from a family which came nto the colony after the revocation of he edict of Nantz. The family conslstd of four sons and an equal number if daughters. The family was In modrate circumstances, but regarded by heir acquaintances as respectable. An ndlvidua 1 said to have been a Moradan preacher, (but no doubt If we have ds correct character, either an Imposor or a fanatic) came Into the neightorhood In which the Dutarque family esided. He made their house his lome. By argument and by the aid of ertaln books, he filled the mind of the ii f/inu fnmtlv with u*Ufl ott/1 nvtro igant notions about religion. They mbibed a contempt for the religion of heir neighbors and went so for, as it rould seem, to conclude that they were ight. and every one else wrong; that heir religion was the true religion and he religion of all others false. They rent so far as to pretend that they revived revelations from heaven. A ertain individual by the name of Peer Rombert, had married one of the laughters. Humbert pretended to have ieen divinely set apart to till the sated office of a prophet. He pretended hat he had been Informed by God that he world was soon to be visited by nine dire calamity which would sweep ft" of the face of the earth all the huiian race, except one family. Prom his favored family the earth would gain be peopled by faithful seed. Itrange as it may seem, some persons elieved what this wild enthusiast reached. That man who Is bold nough to proclaim to the world that e has been to heaven, will find some ulividual who will follow hiin even ? the stake. Rombert declared that he ad been instructed by revelation to ut away his wife and take her youngr sister to be his wife. The fathtr, at Irat was anazed at such a revelation; I iut Rombe-t affirmed that the thing iroceeded from heaven, and God would dve a sign confirmatory of the fact. Whatever may have been the sign, t Is said that It was given and Romlert took his new wife. Thus Romiert and Judith Dutarque lived in dultery and Incest. This was In open dotation of the law concerning basardy, enacled Sept. 17th, 1703. By the i irovlslons of that law, it was Incumient upon Capt. Simmons, the trial ustlce In the neighborhood, to sumnon Peter Rombert and Judith Dutar iue before him. A difficulty had ocurred with the family In consejuence of their refusal, under plea of evelation, to obey the militia law of he country. They said that God had earned them to bear no arms, and unler this delusion they refused to obey he civil and military officers. The I onstable to whom the warrant res- ( ectlng the incestuous life of Rombert .nd Judith was given, being aware of he condition of things, and anticipat- ( ng a difficulty, took several of his lelghbors with him. So soon as the onstables came In sight, the family onsulted Rombert, the prophet, as to i rhat they must do. He ordered them ' o arm themselves and defend their Ives and property against the ungody invaders of their right. This order ' vas promptly obeyed, and the constaile and his party were obliged to reurn without effecting their object. No ine, however, was killed. Captain Simmons concluded that no uch conduct as this ought to be tolrated. He summoned a posse of men ind went to protect the constable in he discharge of his duty. When Simnons and his party approached the louse, the Dutarques shut themselves ip In the house and commenced a brisk i Ire on the party. Simmons was shot ] lown dead at the first fire, and several ( ?f those who accompanied him wound- j id. The fire was returned by the Sim- < nons party and a woman wjthin the ' louse killed. The house was then ( >roken open and the rest taken prison rs. The Stern Hand of the Law. In September, 1724, all the party ex:ept Judith were tried. AH except two >f the sons, David and John, who were nlnors, were put to death. This was l sad affair. Seven individuals lost heir lives. Four were executed, one tilled ana iwo muraerea. i>o uuuui uir Dutarque family were the subjects of i gross delusion, but It is highly probible that Captain Simmons acted rashy and precipitously. Who the Individual styling himself a Moravian jreacher was, we do not know; but it vould be an exceedingly unjust conclu- j don to suppose that this fanatical de>ortment of the Dutarque family was a latural result of embracing the Moravian creed. Peter Rombert. the proph?t of the family was, in all probabllty, an accomplished impostor. Like nany anriiier villain, he attempted to cover his lecherous conduct beneath he cloak of religion. We can easily conceive a happy family brought to uln by suffering themselves to be luped by an Impostor. Such events ire sad. but by no means of seldom >ccurrence. TO BE CONTINUED. GROWTH OF CHURCHES IN 1905. Roman Catholics Made Largest Net Gain?Episcopalians Highest Rate. Some figures on the relative strength ind growth of the various churches of the United States are given by Dr. Carroll In the Christian Advocate. In the year 1905 the total number of communicants was 31,148,445, a net fain for that year of 519,155. This nembership was distributed as folows: Roman Catholics first with 10,185,496, net gain 192,122; Methodist second, with 6,429,815, gain 101,892; Baptists come third, with 4,974,047, gain 72,667; Lutherans fourth, with 1,841.146, gain 51,580; Presbyterians fifth, ivith 1,723.871, gain 26,174; Disciples >f Christ sixth, with 1,235,294, gain of 1,428; Episcopalians seventh, with 827,127, gain 19,203; Congregatlonallsts ?ighth, with 687,042, gain, 13,321; Reformed (Dutch and German) ninth, ivith 405 022, gain 4,021. The percentage of gain is interesting, for the largest denominations are not, except In the case of the Metholists, enjoying the same rate of growth is some of the smaller ones. In their percentage of Increase they stand In this order: Lutheran, ,028; Episcopalians, .023; Congregatlonallsts, .019; Roman Catholics, .017: Methodists, 015; Presbyterians, .015; Baptists, 014: Reformed, . 008; Disciples of Christ, .001. The large rate of increase of the Lutheran denomination may be partly iccounted for by immigration. Methodists and Baptists are doing most for the negro of the south and ire very strong in that section. The Baptist growth in the north, where they number 1,075,833, was but 4,864; but ;he Methodist Episcopal Church North, 1 910,779 strong, had a growth of 62,147. taT Charity for revenue Is a dead loss.

The annual atatementof U.. death loasea paid by the Mutual Bene- u fit makes It clear that there are a very large number of men who have adopted the plan of putting all their Insurance eggs In this company. Upwards of 150 of Its members who died last year f held two or more policies. Jonathan pro' Brown, of Splem, Mass., for Instance, 0Vei had SEVEN policies In the company E on his life. The first was taken out In Ow 1865, the second In 1888, the third and Ter fourth In 1892, the fifth In 1895, the L sixth In 1897 and the last In 1899. On? Frederick O. Robinson, of Lexington, A Mass., had SIX aggregating $25,000, the ? N first taken In 1867 and the last In 1897. F Men could not well endorse the compa- mal nv In higher terms than these two. There are members in this section who have from two to four policies taken out at different times. The only con- Qp elusion to be drawn is that they are entirely satisfied with the company's management and the results of their annual dividend policies. No company _ has a better satisfied membership than the MUTUAL BENEFIT. SAM. M. GRIST, Special Agent tf J. I. CASE = Threshing Machines, Portable and Traction Engines.
