' jRumorous Jrpratmrut. Fair Plat.?A group of drummers were trading yarns on the subject of hospitality, says Lippincott's Magazine, when one of them took up his parable thus: "I was down in Louisiana last month travelin' cross country when we kinder got lost in a lonesome sort of road just about dark, and when we saw a light ahead I tell you it looked drat rate. We drove up to the light, flndln' 'twas a house and when I hollered the man came out and we asked him to take us in for the night. He looked at us mighty hard, then said, 'Wall, I reckon I kin stand It if you kin.' So wf> unhitched, went in. and found 'twas only a two-room shanty and Just swarmln' with children. He had six from four to 'leven years old, and as there didn't seem to be but one bed, me an' Stony was wonderln* what In thunder would become of us. "They ga"ve us supper, and then the the old woman put the two youngest kids to bed. They went straight to sleep. Then she took those out, laid them over in the corner, put the next two to bed, and so on. After all the children were asleep on the floor the . old folks went In the other room and told us we could go to bed If we wanted to, an' bein' powerful tired out, we did. "Well, sir, the next morning when we woke up we was lying over In the corner with the kids, and the old man and the old woman had the bed!" encorraoembnt FY>r 'Rasti s.?At a recent dinner which was attended by a number of clergymen, says the New ** *" Dn/iUhom nf thfi I OTK DUO, ri esiucill uuvniium v. university of Vermont, told the following of Bishop Hall, of the Episcopal diocese of Vermont, In response to some good-natured chaff about the liberal views of the Congregational Church and the ease with which almost anybody could join It. He said he had heard of a negro who had many times applied for membership in St. Paul's church at Burlington, but had not been able to satisfy the bishop that his state of mind entitled him to admission. The negro had been advised to pray that his spiritual condition might Improve. After doing so he made a new application. The bishop said to him: "Well. Erastus, have you prayed as . I told you to?" "Yes. Indeedy, suh; I done prayed, an' I done told de Lawd I wants jine St. Paul's chu'ch, an' de Lawd he say to me: '"Good luck, 'Rastus; I been tryin' Jine dat chu'ch fo' twenty years mahse'f.'" Hjs Had Preferences.?Squire Lord, of local fame in Effingham, N. H.. in the last century had accumulated, by all sorts of methods, a fortune for the times and place. Keeping the country store, being practlcaly the "bank" of those parts and Increasing wealth beyond expenditures, had nourished an ambition to live In a place larger and more social opportunities than the little village afforded. So he packed up one autumn, took a house In Portland, which was the town of the world to country people then, and, with his family, started in to cut a dash. To his chagrin he found he was one of many In that place, and not a scrape or bow was coming his way. Christ. mas saw him back, bag and baggage. in Effingham, and that evening In his store, to the Inquiry of one of the village loafers, "Why'd ye come back, squire, fore you'd calculated?" he replied: "I've h^d enough of that place. Yer ? see, I've rather be a king among hogs than a hog among kings."?Boston Herald. The Colonel's Prayer.?Colonel Throckmorton, a distinguished Kentuckian, was once a passenger on a wooden sailing vessel on the high seas, when a frightful storm burst and the vessel became waterlogged. The passengers were crying and appealing to heaven for aid. Colonel Throckmorton edged over to the side of the captain and sajd: "Tell me. Is there really any danger?" "You see what the rest of me passengers are uuing, repiicu iuc captain; "they are making their peace with God. If you ever do any praying, colonel, you might do so with perfect propriety at this Juncture. The vessel can't live five minutes." The colonel straightened himself, lifted his hat, looked up to the scowjing sky with a reverent mjen, and exclaimed: "Almighty God. If you ever Intend to do Col. Throckmorton of Kentucqy a favor, now Is your time to do It!" A Questtion or Rbsidencr.?The hero of a story which has been told of , Archbishop Ireland Is really that witty churchman Bishop Talbot, "the Cowboy Bishop," whose powers of repartee and whose churchly devotion made him famous among those people, of whom he has so delightfully written In his reminiscent volume, "My People of the Plains." "Where In h have I seen you?" demanded a rough looking man. meeting Bishop Talbot one evening In the crowded single street of a mining town. To which the bishop suavely retorted to the shouting delight of the standers: "What part of h do you come from, sir?' Tn?nnruo>o'o Humt'Dv Dor?ru While J TiT r r-rwrv .I O V/nivnM^ *_?*? .? ? at his home on the cape, and not long before he passed away, "Joe" Jefferson was 111 enough to require the attention of his old friend. Dr. Kinney, whose summer home is at Buzzard's bay. according to the Boston Herald. The patient was put on a very restricted diet, but among other good things allowed him was chicken broth. On one of his visits the doctor found Mr. Jefferson sipping something from a bowl. The doctor inquired what he had there. Mr. Jefferson said It was hot water, but tasted as If some old rooster had stood in It for a while, Dr. Kinney remarked he hoped he stood there long enough to crow. Failed to Please.?His eyes make no attempt to conceal his admiratior of the beautiful young thing as she enters the parlor. Indeed, he does not want them to. "You are positively queenly." he declares enthusiastically. An offended expression comes to her face. "Queenly?" she asks disdainfully. "Yes; you are a ver^able queen in appearance." Haughtily she bids him leave. "But why?" he Inquires, amazed. "Oh, nothing. I'm a queen in appearance, am I? Well, I happened to look over a lot of magazine pictures of different queens and princesses today, and if you think I.look like them it's time for you and me to be strangers."?Life. ittftasiliucoua Stalling.

R. Tillman, Jr., and Henry C Tillman will control. The Chronicle says: "Benjamin R. Tillman, the oldest of the two sons of Senator B. R Tillman, left his home near our towr a week or more ago for the new state of Oklahoma, where, so far as we car learn, he and his family will rr.aKe their home. Mrs. B. R.

WHERE DEATH LIES IN WAIT. Smokeless Powder Mills Most Dangerous of Buildings. ! Working In a smokeless powder mill Is like sitting on the lid of Vesuvius, only more dangerous. The volcano grumbles and rumbles and quakes, giving ample warning bej bore belching forth its torrents of fire 1 and lava. But the powder mill Is like j a gigantic bomb filled with human "tolth rvwa nrtAn tflTlk ? of nitroglycerine and gun-cotton, i primed and ready to explode from a I ^ score of known and unknown reasons. Sometimes when a danger house 1 blows up, tearing men within to atoms, rending the building Into matchstlcks ! and gouging a gaping hole thirty feet f across into rocks and gravel it Is 1m- ' possible to tell even what caused the accident. ^ Other times the disaster is traceable 1 to the carelessness or disobedience of 1 an employee. Occasionally, says Ap- 1 pleton's Magazine, catastrophe Is due , to an unavoidable accident like the j j mere stubbing of a toe. Whatever the cause, when the crash 1 j comes It Is the most Inconceivably 1 4 frightful ordeal to which the human 1 | nervous system can be subjected. r How human creatures can be in- 1 r duced to take the risks of working In i such an earthly Inferno, ready to burst i on the Instant In all Its horror, may ooom noui iinrlprafnnHInc still thou sands of men work In these mills scatj tered throughout the United States. < } The guncotton drying house, where 1 the washed nitrate cotton must be i dried absolutely, shares with the nl- i troglycerlne building the reputation of < being the most hazardous on the face i r of the earth. I i The guncotton drying house, con- ! . tainlng as much as five tons of the < . frightful explosive, a half teaspoonful ] , of which would be enough to blow you i into smithereens, stands isolated on i t pillars above a marsh 400 yards from I . the nearest building. i t Nothing except the portentous word I p "Danger" painted in big black letters > over the entrance distinguishes this , r house from the other structures, yet as i i you gaze at Its very Isolation you ap- I . proach with deep respect. i Only one person is permitted In this ' 1 house, an Italian; a medium sized, ' p chunky man he Is, dark and swarthy, i i with black eyes and a blacker mus- l , tache. He Is a man of years of expe- | . rience, so trained to caution that It has ! r become a habit exercised like second i I nature. I p The man in charge will not permit < , you Inside this house no matter now , fa voted a visitor you may be. The I , -.iost he will do is to open the door of i i one of the drying rooms to give you a ? peep within. 1 i He is married and has five children. ' No, he isn't afraid. If he were he i I would not work where he is working. i He knows, of course, that If he vio- I i lates any of certain rules he and his | . house are going to leave together, but I . he has no intention of violating pre- i . '.autlons. He never has been blown up I i yet and he does not intend to be. Even ' t his family has ceased worrying about 1 . him. , You notice he is wearing rubber < f soled tennis shoes wherein he walks , . silent and ghostlike. As he opens the i door of one of the drying rooms, heatc ed to a temperature of 110 degrees, a i , breath of hot air from within strikes ] . you. 1 You see what appears to be chunks ] i and slabs and wads of a dirty white I f blotting paper heaped in metal pans I r two by three feet and set in a series < i of spacious racks like so many big pig- I : eonholes. I > Even now there is nothing in the ap- i . pearance of the stuff to prevent you i > from throwing it out of your way as ( i if it were an old piece of paper, and ] i you wonder afterward whether after ] i all this seeming rubbish can be the < I dreaded explosive a mere fifty pounds I t of which could send an 18,000 ton i .

I > Yet the slightest sudden Jar against I , even a pinch of this Insignificant ap- i s pearlng substance and there would be I . a flash and a crash that would shake < , the earth for miles around, and noth- I i ing but a pall of smoke drifting sky- i . ward would remain of house or man. I 11 The slightest grain of sand underfoot < > to cause friction against dust invisible ; , to the naked eye, or a mere spark, i , knocked perhaps from the head of a i , carpet tack, and the house and man . . would be annihilated. ? A spark of static electricity of the [ sort with which you can light a gas ? Jet by a spark leaping from the knuckle ^ . of a finger after sliding your feet across t a carpet, and you would have vanished . tracelessly. blown into atoms too small j . to find with a microscope, t Owing to this deadly sensitiveness, j every precaution for safety is taken by the man in this building. The floors i are covered with rubber sheets fasten- 1 ed by brass-headed tacks to prevent 1 danger of sparks. Dustpans and uten. sils are of brass or copper, , t When the panfuls of cotton are ' 1 transported In or out of the plaoe the floors are covered with sheets of can- 4 vas to be removed and shaken clear of i possible dust outside the building, 1 Twice a day the floors are scrupulously j brushed. In short, every conceivable l precaution is taken to prevent catas- " trophe. . What Is this smokeless powder? it | is the modern high explosive which has superseded the old style black ( powder, even as electricity has super- , seded gas. and which Is used not only In the field for sporting purposes, but < is used exclusively for the shoulder . s arms of the army and the navy as well | l as for the machine guns, the rapid fire l i guns and the huge rifles on the decks - of our battleships and within the r works of our fortifications. I Practically It in nothing but a nil*- 1 i ture of guncotton and alcohol and eth . er. or ac< ne. or else acetone with gun 1 cotton and nitroglycerine?'\he two 1 strongest explosives known?and, s blended Into a new compound which is 2 at least double as strong as the com inon black powder, explodes without ; giving off smoke, and, once finished, t not merely loses the dangerous characf terlstlcs of Its dreaded Ingredients, but r is so safe that you might give a hatful i of the powder Intended for the slx; teen Inch Sandy Hook gun to a baby - to play with. s He might pound It with a hammer , to his heart's content, or you yourself ^ might place It on an anvil and bring a forty pound sledge down oh It. It ( would merely squash like so much soap or putty. So concussion proof Is this powder that you might drop a house on a heap of fifty tons of It and it would not explode. So proof is it against explosion by fire that you might place a stl dt of cannon powder on a saucer in your bedroom, light it with a match, and go to bed by a flickering, sizzling light, as burning, fat. In short, you simply cannot explode this powder unless you go to the trouble of confining It, and even then you can explode It only by using a fulmlnat or mercury detonator. The quickest way to picture smokeless powder Is* to dismiss all ideas of the ordinary black gunpowder so familiar to every one. The color of the modern powder Is not black, but the shade of dark amber. In the sense of a powder being a finely divided solid, smokeless powder is no powder at all. It consists of a waxlike composition, the size of the grains varying according to the calibres of the guns for which they are designed. For use In revolvers, rifles and sporting guns the grains resemble the tiny perforated glass beads of the sort used in old time needlework. For the machine guns, the rapid Are guns and the heavy rifles of battleships and forts, the grains are cylindrical In shape, varying in size from a third of an Inch in diameter and half an Inch In length to three-fourths of an inch Indlameter and about two Inches In length?each grain, In order to Increase the area exposed to ignition, being perforated equldistnntly and longitudinally with from one to six holes, big as knitting needles, depending upon the size of the grain. A8 Reported In Arizona. "Teddy," upon arrival, boarded the railroad coach and "ride" acros his "Ismus" (as now speld,) and waded out nine miles into the Pacific ocean, where it was knee deep, just to show the meaneatlng sharks and numerous marine gupchuks that he was "game." On turning round to foot it back to shore he discovered a school of whales In his path. He squared himself for a real good kick Into the gang, but was only partially successful, as his Rough Rider spur, which he happened at the time to have on. caught in a three- , acre bunch of seaweed and his effort landed only eleven full-grown whales ^ ashore, including the big bull of the dock. On his way back on the train he jumped off near the Culebra Cut, I grabbed 11,000 workmen by the hand Y - - . 1 In exactly three-quarters or a minuie, * schedule time, with the expression )t D-e-l-i-g-h-t-e-d" for each man. p Then, seizing one of the five-ton steam J shovels, spit on his hands and began to dig toward the Atlantic ocean. He fl plunged that gigantic shovel eleven v\ feet into the bosom of Mother Earth it his first motion, and the Pan-Amer- Cl lean republics took It for another earth- " rjuake when thp vibrations were felt, a Within just 12 minutes and 17 seconds he had dug that "Ismum Canal" one mile and three-quarters. d While awaiting for his train to con- ei vey him from the Cut he held a "levee" jr with the workmen, which numbered 01 mine 200 English-speaking persons and ? something over 9.000 Imported shirttall-hop-consuming animated Chinese p plg-talls, the latter warmly greeting C him with "Hoopla, Teddy, him- belly * ?ood Melican man." During this brief Interval, and In exactly 41 seconds, tt 'Teddy" made a six-year contract with c< three of the coolie plg-talls to do the White House washing up to the end 3t the next presidential term.?Safford, Arizona. Guardian. ~ A Bridge of Crocodiles?A travel?r writes of a port In northwestern u India: "The great sight of Karachi Is the sacred crocodile preserve at Magar j; Pir, some seven miles off. There are hot springs here which feed a shallow tank containing nearly a hundred crocodlles. The story, usually thought to be fictitious, of the Englishman who Ji for a bet crossed the tank by jumping ^ successively from the backs of these irocodlles Is based on fact. The hero ui sf this foolhardy feat was a certain Lieutenant Beresford, a friend of Sir it] R. F. Burton. When Burton and his companion were visiting the crocodiles' tank they noticed that these reptiles . ind certain Islets of reeds happened to 2,' form an almost continuous bridge across the tank. This prompted the daring subaltern to hazard the feat of crossing by hopping from one crocodile to anather. To the amazement of the spectators he succeeded in this apparently ( mad attempt. Sir Richard Burton had jr ilready successfully performed an squally daring feat. He' managed to muzzle a crocodile by means of a lasso ind then jumped on the reptile's back ai ind enjoyed a somewhat zigzag ride." r< r( LAND FOR SALE m BY as M. B. WILSON, ROCK HILL, S. C. P?
