Proof of Skiix.?Frank Miles Day,
the well-known architect and essayist
of Philadelphia, stepped carefully
from a Persian rug of dull green and
old rose to another of rich blue, foi
the polished floor between was dark
and smooth and slippery, like ice.
"Rather a good polish there, 1
think," said Mr. Day's host, a resident
of Rltterhouse square.
"Remarkably good, indeed," said
Mr. Day.

nearly fell, and the architect, with a
laugh, went on:
"A friend of mine has beautiful
floors, and the other day sent for a
floor polisher.
' 'I want these floors polished,' he
said to the man, as he led him about
the house. 'They are, you perceive,
fine ones. They ought to come out as
lustrous as rosewood. Do you think
you are capable of doing them justice?
Give me some proof of your
thorough competence.'
" That's easily done, sir,' the polisher
replied. 'You just go and ask
Colonel Snow, next door but one,
about my work. He'll tell ye. Why,
governor, on the polished floor of
Colonel Snow's dining room alone
five persons got broken limbs last
winter, while the ladles slipped down
the grand staircase during the Easter
week ball and one dislocated her hip,
while the other fractured three ribs.
You ask Colonel Snow, sir. I polished
that floor and that there staircase of

No Bribery.?An amusing epmuuc
In politics is vouched for by a minister
of religion as having occurred near
Gilllngham, England. A lady canvasser
for one of the local candidates called
at a house, found that the voter was
out and inquired of the wife, "You
think he will vote for my candidate,
do you not?"
"Indeed he won't," replied the woman.
"He has been promised a new
pair of trousers if he votes for the
other man."
The lady canvasser scented a petition
for bribery, produced a sovereign
and said, "I will give you this if you
will tell me who made your husband
that promise."
"Certainly I will," said the voter's
wife as she pocketed the money. '1
promised him them myself."
Declined Her Owj) Medicine.?
There is always more or less talk
current about abolishing positions
and dispersing pelf. The trouble ac
cording to the Youth's Companion,
is to know just where to begin the
" .destructive reconstruction, and to
find reformers who are willing themselves
to be reformed.
* An English great lady was once
entertaining the labor member of
parliament, Henry Broadhurst, the
duke of Argyll and others at her
country seat. She was and is a
strong liberal, and one evening inveighed
against the house of lords.
It would be swept away if it did not
reform, she said, with fervor.
"Yes," agreed Broadhurst, "and
how will you like that Mrs. P?"
"Lady P. if you please, sir," instantly
corrected Broadhurst's hostess,
drawing herself up haughtily.

Grateful. For the Sdooor.?Mayor
Kirkendall of Wilkesbarre, told
at a reception a story about a young
Wilkesbarre clergyman.
"He was married a year ago," the
mayor said, "and his wife, a good girl,
Interested him In a charity for miners'
orphans. He advocated this charity
often from the pulpit, and when a
subscription reached him he would
acknowledge it the next Sunday in
church.
"It happened that last June there
came to this minister on the same day
a subscription for $25 and a young
son.
"A good deal of laughter was excited
the following Sunday, when, rising
in the pulpit, the minister said
that he felt very grateful for the
small succor that had arrived during
the past week."
Buyinq Chickens.?There is a
shrewd old reuow in uonneuiiuui, mc
proprietor of a summer boarding
house, who never gets the worst of it.
One morning he took a new servant
with him to Greenwich to teach the
servitor the tricks of judicious buying.
The question of chickens arose. Said
the old chap: "How many have you
this morning?"
"About a dozen," replied the storekeeper.
"Well," said the proprietor of the
summer boarding house: "My boarders
is the biggest eaters you ever seen.
Pick out nine of the toughest you've
got."
The storekeeper complied, laying
aside the three tender fowls. Whereupon
the old chap gathered them into
his basket, observing: "Guess I'll take
these three."
An Inferential Retort.?Oscar
S. Strauss, formerly minister to Turkey,
tells this story of a Eoston
rabbi.
One day in a crowded street car,
the rabbi arose to give his seat to a
woman who had just entered. Much
to the rabbi's disgust, a young man
scrambled Into the seat before the
lady could avail herself of it. For
some moments ine rauui giairu ai
the offender in a way that clearly
showed his displeasure; but he said
nothing. Finally the rude young
man, growing restive under the keen
glance, said:
"Wot are you staring at me for?
Look as if you'd like to eat me!"
"I am forbidden to do that." quiet
ly responded the rabbi; "I am a
Jew!"
So They Are.?"Here! here! this
won't do," said the city editor to the
green reporter. "Here you say 'many
people thinks.' Don't you know any
better than that?"
"Why," asked the inexperienced
fellow who had taken the Job on his
nerve, "ain't that all right?"
"Certainly not. A plural substantial

"Well, but?er?many people are

Gastonia Gazette, September 11: Dr.
J. C. Galloway is In Due West where
he went to attend a meeting last night
of a committee of the synod and of
Ersklne Theological seminary to consider
a course of study for the seminary
Capt. W. I. Stowe, Qastonla's
popular magistrate, had an important
case before him Sunday afternoon at
2 o'clock. The case In question was
tried at the captain's residence on
West Main street. The defendants
were Mr. Culbert L. Lytton, son of Mr.
and Mrs. T. L. Lytton and Miss Hettie
Sherrill, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O.
E. Sherrill, both east of Gastonia.
There were several important witnesses
present, and after hearing all the
evidence In the case, the clever captain
released the prisoners under a bond of
holy wedlock Alarming symptoms
In the condition of Mr. J. R. Fayssoux
Saturday morning caused his Immediate
family and relatives to be summoned
to his bedside. Two of his assailants,
Brank and Inman, who were
under bond were apprehended and sent
to jail to await the issues of the
wounded man's condition. Yesterday
some of the alarming symptoms had
passed away, and while the patient was
not certainly improved, It was hoped
that his condition was no worse. It
was discovered a day or two ago by
his physicians that his body was terribly
beaten and bruised as if by cudgels
or kicks Last Friday night shortly
after retiring Mrs. William Holland
awoke in profuse perspiration. She
called her husband's attention to it,
but did not appear to be suffering. She
drew one or two long breaths and was
still. Mr. Holland arose and found that
she was dead. A husband and four
children are left to mourn her death.
The children are Mrs. Valley Peters of
Gastonia and Messrs. J. M., A. R. and
L. A. Holland of Dallas, with all of
whom their friends sympathize deeply.
Mrs. Holland was fifty-seven years of
age and was a member of the Dallas
Baptist church. The funeral was conducted
by her pastor, Rev. J. L. Vipperman
at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon.
A COLLISION.
It Was Between Two Men, and the
Climax Was Pathetic.
A blind man was making his way
out Washington OVflnUg. uslne his
cane as a guide for his feet. Across
his chest was a placard bearing the
legend, "I am blind," and suspended
by a chain around his neck was
a small tin cup, a convenient receptacle
for charity coins.
It was broad daylight and he
knew that stretch of walk so well
that he felt very little fear of accident.
He was about the middle
of the block, so he did not have to
look out for the step down from the
pavement to the cross street. There
are never many pedestrians out that
far on Washington avenue, and no
one is going to run ruthlessly Into a
blind man.
He was striding bravely along
when, to his utter astonishment, he
collided with a rapidly moving object.
The object was a man, who
gr?w very angry, for the impact had
dislodged his hat. It had also
served to hurl the blind man backward,
so that he must have fallen
had it not been for the man who
sprang to the rescue and who tells
the story.
"Havn't you got any sense?"
the enraged man cried. "Now.
you'd better pick up my hat, you
awkward lubbard!"
"I can't," the disconcerted fellow
replied. "1 think it was your own
fault. You ought to look where you
are going."
"How can I look where I am going?
Can't you see that I am blind?
It Is you who ought to look where
you are going and not go bumping
into a blind man."
"What's that? You blind? I
didn't know. I couldn't tell, you
see. I am blind too. I'm sorry I
knocked off your hat. I'm afraid I
can't help you find it. I wonder
which way It rolled."
The other man was staring blankly
at him. Then he groped his way
. forward, and fell upon the other blind
man's neck and said in a broken
voice: "We blind people get selfish,
expecting all the world to get out
of our way. I didn't mean to talk to
you as I did."
By this time the witness to the
little tragedy had picked up the bat,
tered hat, dropped a coin Into each
cup and hurried on, saddened but
grateful for the priceless gift of sight.

THE SAINTLY FOX.
Finds a Friend at Last Who Brushes
Up His Reputation.
I have hunted foxes for nearly
three score years, and I have yet to
see where they have ever caught or
killed a domestic fowl or ruffed
grouse or young lamb, though 1 have
In the winter often seen where they
have tried to catch grouse that were
roosting under the snow, but never
saw where they had succeeded in
catching one. I have very often seen
where they have caught our common
northern hare, and only once have I
ever seen them in the vicinity of the
numerous flocks of geese and turkeys
that are roaming about our fields.
One evening, years ago, while driving
In the town of Hlghgate, near the
Canada line, as I approached a farmhouse
I saw down In the pasture
some three hundred yards away a
group of horses standing with their
heads together and heels out, and
nearby was a flock of geese and goslings
waddling up toward the house.
Very soon the horses broke ranks,
and with heads down, started along
toward the geese, and I then saw that
they were following a fox. The fox
stopped and faced the horses which
Immediately whirled with their heads
together with heels out as though to
repel the attack of an enemy. The
fox then trotted along after the geese
and the horses broke ranks again and
followed it. I called to the people
In the house to come out and get
their geese which were then near the
road. The fox heard me, and of
course, bolted for the woods.
Now regarding weasels. They may
kill chickens, but if so, I have never
had positive proof of it. A friend
who was raising chickens was losing
a chicken or two every day, and he
laid It to the weasels. His barn and
outbuildings were overrun with rats,
and a couple of weasels had come in
among them; one of the weasels he
found in the yard killed, bitten
through the head. One morning he
saw a large cat jump out from the
yard with a chicken in its mouth.
He shot the cat and lost no more
chickens, and the remaining weasel
soon cleaned out the rats and Is evidently
now living on mice, as It does
not molest the poultry.
A near neighbor of his was also
troubled with rats about his barn. A
mink came in and cleaned them out,
and last tall the farmer foolishly shot
the mink for Its pelt. Before spring
the rats were back again as thick as
ever. He now wishes that he had let
the mink remain, as the price that he
received for the mink skin does not
pay for the damage done every month
by the rats.
Any observing farmer in this vicinity
will admit that it is only during
the years that foxes and weasels
are scarce that their fields and orchards
are overrun with mice, and
the damage the mice do amounts to
far more than the value of the poultry
on their farms. Again, take the
much-maligned skunk; he can be
classed among the friends of the
farmer. While we have seen instances
of his taking eggs and even
poultry, his principal diet is grubs,
grasshoppers, crickets, wire-worms,
and when near a potato field, potato
bugs. But for all this, let him be
caught In a potato field, he is surely
dogged or stoned to death, and perVtortci
Kv tho vfirv fa rmar h P {q hp.
friending. The same farmer will pay
out dollars for parls green and In
hired man's wages to destroy the very
bugs that the skunk would have eaten
If left alone.
We are living and learning, though
some of us learn slowly, that It is
hard for us to get over early prejudices.
Nevertheless, we may expect
at no very distant date to see laws
made and enforced to protect the
farmers' friends, each of the above
named animals.
Among the large number of dogs
that are In the country there is an
occasional one that will kill sheep,
so there may be a few foxes and weasels
that have a fondness for poultry
and young lambs. Though, if so, they
have never come under my personal
observation.?Forest and Stream.
MYSTERIES OF DEATH VALLEY.
Fascination For Those Who Brave Its
Dangers?Legends of Finds.
While gold seems to be the underlying
cause of the great Interest taken
In Death Valley, yet a mysterious
fascination takes possession of all
whd have once braved the dangers.
Numberless legends have been handed
down from generation to generation
of strange happenings almost
beyond human explanation, yet at
the bottom of all runs the streak of
gold, for which men daily sell their
lives and oftentimes their souls.
Old Indian trails and signs still
point the way from spring to spring
telling whether the water is good or
bad, the distance from one to the
other, the passable and the Impassable
canons, the location of old Indian
villages, etc. In order to read the
signs correctly, one must be familiar
with their ways and customs, and
even then it has become difficult on
account of changes that are constantly
taking place through natural
and human agencies.
The trails are of different periods,
some being much later than others.
At Intervals beside the trails are
monuments of stone, with a pointed
rock showing the direction to take.
Two rocks pointing In opposite directions
indicate that It is Impassable.
The location of metat stones
are also significant. A metat stone
Is a fiat stone, hollowed In the center,
used for grinding acorns for flour
and will be found not more than a
half day's journey of water. Many
springs known to the Indians are not
down'on the maps.
Endeavoring to find a pass through
the mountains on a recent trip, a
party followed the Indian trail and
signs and were led a course which
passed three springs and some old
breastworks which Indians had used
to hide behind when lying in wait
for mountain sheep. One of the first
gold excitements was back in the
50s, when Breyfogle found fine free
gold, but was unable to return to the
exact spot. He was afterward hit
with a stone hurled by an Indian
which is supposed to have injured
his brain.
Ren t tv has exDressed the opinion
that the Brefogle find was between
Willow Springs and the original Bullfrog.
Charlie Xyman thinks It is between
Keane Springs. Willow Springs
and Death Valley, while one of Breyfogle's
party described Hole-in-Rock.
The wind breaks supposed to have
been used by Breyfogle are locaced
about eighteen miles south of Rhyolite.
Another legend is of an Indian
who went into Cerro Gordo with a
rock full of free gold, which he sold
for $8. The white man tried to get fc
him to tell where he found it, but 11
(J
the Indian was wise and kept its lo- 0
cation to himself. He was acci- a
dentally killed a short time after c
while hunting sheep, and the secret ?
died with him. Some think this And ^
was the same as Breyfogle's.
The valley itself is about all that ?
it has been painted. At times t. man t
or beast would mire out of sight, o
and at other times the shifting sands r
would almost bury him alive. Yet ?
men live there year after year with- t
out feeling that they are incurring 8
any unusual amount of danger. They j,
know where thev may and mav not ?
go, and how to prepare for emergencies.?Phyolite

They Are ?a Great Race and Always *

Is America to become the New Jeru- u

doors and windows on State street.

If all the Jews In this country were j,

are no definite figures to show what t
would be the wealth of such a city o

c
In New York city alone there are ^
more Jews than there are in Ger- c
many, France, Great Britain, Italy, ?
Spain and Switzerland put together. (
They worship under the laws of g
Moses In thirty-seven synagogues. F
Every fifth person in all that region
belongs to the family of Abraham.
Asked "Why are the Jews so unl- ?
formly successful in business?" Os- ^
car Solomon Strauss, twice American c
minister to Turkey and a well known
Jewish lawyer and merchant, said: *
"When I lived In Georgia my ifath- c
er sent me to the Baptist Sunday <3
school?there was no other in Tal- *
bottom. He said he would rather f
have me among the Baptists than j
not to receive any religious Instruc- f!
tlon at all. Hence, I think I can I
look upon the Jews objectively and '
not wholly within the purview of the J
race. The success of *he Jews as u
traders and men of business and
men of wealth has been overdrawn. "
John D. Rockefeller or Andrew Carnegie
Is worth more than all the a
Jews in America lumped together.
The Jew, no matter what the opinion J
of the world may be, is a broadspirited
man. He spends much and, d
therefore, his wealth is exaggerated. 11
"First of all he is said, to be a j,
trader, but other races slur over the a
fact that he hasn't been free to *
choose his occupation. Europe drove "
him out of agriculture. The meohan- t
ical crafts were shut to him. My c
family, I have said, were farmers. p
There Is a region in Russia where the
Jews are industrious and skilled
agriculturists. Persecuted as they
were, hemmed in as to their means
of gaining a living, legislated against
and robbed of what they had, the
Jews were compelled to adjust themselves
to circumstances and to accept
such narrow opportunities as were
nff orpH
"The Jew is said to have what is
known as the commercial instinct.
Hume tells us that under Richard I
500 Jews sought safety in the castle
of York, where, not being strong
enough for defense, they killed their
wives and children, threw the bodies
over the walls into the mob below
and, setting fire to the castle, were
themselves burned alive. The gentry,
owing money to the Jews, hastened
to the cathedral, where their
bonds or promissory notes were kept,
and made a bonfire before the altar.
'The compiler of the Annals of Waverly,
in relating this event,' Hume
says, 'blesses the Almighty for thus
delivering over this Impious race to
destruction.' History blazes with such
stories of self-sacriflce and barbarity.
The commercial Instinct in this particular
case appears to have been on
the other side.
"Instead of the Jew being a nat
ural barterer he is the most spiritual -i
man alive. He has been pounded by ?
the ages, robbed and massacred, but
he yields neither his tradition nor his I
ideals. Had he been materialistic he ,
would have sold out long ago and (
bought peace. If he would Join the
Greek church he would be safe in ^
Russia. Rather than do that he will ^
walk into the Jaws of hell. There- t
fore, I say he is spiritualistic or I
idealistic rather than practical or
material.
"Were I to choose a family that t:
would live, I would have to endure
hnrrishins and nersecutlons. Were I a
to choose one to die, I would give it
pleasure and luxury. The Jew, denied
his civil rights, despoiled of his prop- I
erty, scourged and murdered, has been jj
made tougher and longer-lived. His
enemies have given him strength, and g
trained him most admirably for the
battle of life, no matter in what part
of the world fortune may lead him.
"But," was the question recently put
to Mr. Strauss by James B. Morrow, i
who tells the story, "the signs in J
Broadway would indicate that the Jew
is essentially an able and successful J
merchant?
"Your view is purely Christian,"
Mr. Strauss replied. "Nor do you an- 1
alyze the fact. Years ago Americans I
did the rough and heavy work of the
nation. Then came the Irish and the
American moved up. By and by the
Italians swarmed in, and the Irish gol 1
to be policemen, saloon-keepers and J
politicians. When Broadway was much m
shorter than It is now all of the names
on the signs were American. Bui
those old-time merchants became opulent,
they no longer desired to be (
small shopkeepers, and so they went: v
into banks and manufactories. Now m
the Jews have their stores. In a generation
the signs that hang and swing
today in Broadway will be down and
others will be up. Perhaps the names
will be Italian. No race goes back in
this country, but each, being prudent,
industrious and ambitious, goes onward
to better conditions."?New York

Burnham, the American scout, who
was Lord Roberts' chief of scouts,
was one of the most Interesting fig- I
ures in the South African war. Somo ^
of his adventures are as thrilling as
the wildest Inventions of the writers I
of dime novels, differing only in the
Important respect that they are true.
Mr. Frederick Unger, the American ^
war correspondent, relates one of
them in his book, "V/ith 'Bobs' and
Kruger."
Burnham once allowed himself to a
be captured and led Into DeWet's F
camp, hoping to get information b
and then escape. Ho conceal- ?
ed his Identity but was betrayed by ti
another prisoner, a British officer, c
who, in spite of Burnham's slg-ns, stupldly
called him by name. A special
gruard was immediately placed over
lim, and on the march he was put .
nto a trek wagon, closely covered exept
In front. An armed driver sat
m the seat, a guard rode at each side
rd one behind. Learning from the
onversatlon of his guards that when
hey reached the railway he would \
i sent to Pretoria by train, he knew i
it' must escape then or never. <
He kept awake at night and watch- 1
d his chance. It came when the
Irlver got down to give some direc
Ions to the native boy leading the j
jen. Burnham crept up on the seat, 1
rom which he slipped down to the
art tongue, and from there he slid 1
uietly to the ground, prostrate under j
he cart which passed over him. The
ruards on the side could not see, but <
hose behind might. He lay still,
reparing to endure even the tread I
if a horse and not give a. sign.
The night was dark. The horses or i
he following cart stepped carefully !
iver him, and their riders just hap- i
>ened not to look down. The next
art, drawn by oxen, was some dis- <
ance behind and before It came up
lurnham rolled swiftly to the side of
he road, where he laid until the car
tassed. Then, before another came
ip, he had time to roll several hun- j
Ireds yards into the night, and was I
or the moment safe.
But now his escape was discovered. |
'he column halted and Its lights apteared.
Horsemen rode up and down
he line, shouting and firing shots.
)ther horsemen rode up and down
he veldt, and several came close to !
rhere Burnham was lying. In the
arkness he looked so like a lump <
f grass that he escaped notice. Had
its pursuers waited till daylight he
rould have been taken.
After a while the column moved on.
,nd Burnham rose to his feet and
truck oft southward for Bloen^onein.
He spent two days and nights
n the veldt hidden by day on the
ummits of kopjes, from which he
ould see Boer scouts, evidently on
he lookout for him. At last he sue- i
eeded in reaching Bloemfontein, af- i
er forty-eight hours without food. <

reason Is obvious. People who are

convinced that when it comes
to a question of paint there is no
other Paint that Will Last as Long,
Go as Far?gallon for Gallon; or Goat
