tumorous Ilcpattmcnt. Stood the Test.?A dentist received a call the other morning from a couple whom he soon had reason to believe were lovers. The girl had an aching tooth, and as they entered the young man said: "Now, darling, the worst is over. Just take a seat and it will be out In a minute." "Oh, I daren't!" she gasped. "But It really won't hurt you at all, you know." "But I'm afraid it will." "It can't. I'd have one pulled In a mlnntn it It anhoil " "I -don't believe It." "Well, then. I'll have one pulled out. Just to show you that It doesn't hurt" He took a seat, leant back and opened his mouth and the dentist seemed to be selecting: a tooth to seize with his forceps, when the girl protested. "Hold on! The test is sufficient. He has proved his devotion. Move away, Harry, and I'll have It pulled." She took the chair, had the tooth drawn without a groan and, as she went out, she was saying to the young man: "Now I can believe you when you declare that you would die for me." And yet every tooth In his head was false.?Tit Bits. Thought He Saw Double.?A worthy professor was invited to dine at the house of a lady of fashion. The day was hot, the wine cool, the professor's thirst great and the fair neighbor with whom the professor was engaged In a lively conversation filled his glass as often as It was emptied. When the company rose from the table the professor noticed, to his great consternation, that he was unsteady on his feet. In his anxiety to save appearances, utry the Hran-lnir rnnm where lie i e>/aii vu vu wv ...a - the lady of the house yielded to the wishes of her lady friends and ordered the nurse to bring In the baby twins. The pair were lying together on a pillow, and the nurse presented them for Inspection to the person nearest the door, who happened to be the professor. The latter gazed Intently at them for a while, as if deciding whether or not there were two or one, and then said, somewhat huskily: "Really, what a bonnle little child." ?People's Magazine. A Stubborn Ecuair.?An amusing story Is told of a New York man growing out of his extreme near-sightedness. The New Yorker, In company with friends, was dining at a hotel In Florida. At dessert the near-sighted man had considerable difficulty In removing from the plate, passed him by the colored waiter, what he took to be a chocolate eclair. The New Yorker, thrust his fork under it and tried again and again to pry It from the plate, but without success. Suddenly It dawned upon him that his friends were convulsed with laughter, which much surprised him, for he saw nothing particularly humorous in the situation. This surprise was turned to astonishment when the darky servitor remarked in an apologetic way: "I beg yo' pardon, sah, but dat's my thumb."?Sunday Magazine. Irvjko a_\d the Lawyer.?Sir Henry Irving was at one time a witness in a case of street robbery. He had seen a sneak thief make oft with a girl's pocketbook and he consented to appear as a witness for the girl. The thief's lawyer was of the type that roars and rants at witnesses and attempts to break them down. He tried this method on the distinguished actor. "And at what hour, sir, did this happen?" asked the lawyer. "I think " began Sir Henry, when the lawyer interrupted with: "It isn't 'what you think, sir; it's what you know that we want!" "Don't you want to know what I think?" mildly asked the actor. "I do not," the lawyer snapped out. "Well, then," said Sir Henry, "I might as well leave the witness box. I can't talk without thinking. I'm not a lawyer."?Caledonian. Not His Hour.?A Chicagoan was praising the late Marshall Field. "Mr. Field was a kindly man," he said. "He spoke ill of no one, and when his opinion was asked of a person. and it was not a favorable opinion. he would express it in such a gentle and quaint way that its sting would be mostly lost. "Once at a dinner I praised the conversational talent of a man across the table. I said to Mr. Field: "'Do you know him?' " 'I have met him,' the other answered. " 'Well, he is a clever chap,* I said. 'He can talk brilliantly for an hour at a stretch.' " 'Then, when I met him,' said Mr. Field, 'it must have been the beginning of the second hour.'"?New York TriKt.MA UU1IC. "I Dreamed I Was a King."?Two darkies lay sprawled on the Luneta <>n a hot day. Moses drew a long sigh and said: "Heey-a-h-h! Ah wish Ah had a hund'ed watermellions." Tom's eyes lighted dimly. "Hum ya'h! Dat would suttenly be fine. An* ef yo' had a hund'ed watermellions would yo' gib me fifty?" "No. Ah wouldn't gib yo* no fifty watermellions. "Would yo' gib me twenty-five?" "No. Ah wouldn't gib no twentyfive." "Seems ter me yous powahful stingy. Mose. Wouldn't yo'?wouldn't yo' gib me one?" "No. Ah wouldn't gib yo' one.

Anywhere Is Good Enough.?A senator from a central western state sought an interview with the presinttklne him to armoint to a for eign consulate an applicant to whom the senator was In some way bound, but who was heartily disliked by reason of his offensive persistence In seeking favors. "Where do you want him sent?" the senator was asked. At this the senator took a step or two to the center of the room, where stood a large globe. Putting one arm around it as far as he could reach, the senator said: "I don't know what locality my finger touches, but please send him there!"?Harper's Weekly. Hotel-Keeper ?

The party enjoyed a fine time. ... .Last week the Ansonian of Wadesboro, was boasting of the fact that Anson was the proud possessor of six exsheriffs who served terms aggregating thirty years, at the same time venturing the guess that there were mighty few counties that could compete with It in this line. Gaston boasts of one more than Anson, having seven exsherlffs in all, their terms aggregating thirty-two years. They are, G. W. McKee, four years; R. A. White of Bessemer City, four years; W. C. Abernethy of Gastonia, six years; M. H. Shuford of Gastonia, six years; A. K. Lortin, now living in Greensboro, two years; W. T. Love of Gastonia, four years, and C. B. Armstrong of Gastonia, six years. Anson will have to try some other line in order to beat Gaston At his home near Pleasant Ridge Tuesday afternoon about 5 o'clock, Mr. M. L. Dickson died after a long illness. Death was due to a complication of diseases, following a long sickness from malarial fever which began in September, 1905. He spent sometime in a Charlotte hospital but was not benefited. The deceased was a well-to-do farmer of the Pleasant Ridge neighborhood. He was about thirty-eight years of age, unmarried and lived with his brother, Mr. T. Emmet Dickson. Two other brothers, H. S. Dickson of Pleasant Ridge and O. S. Dickson, residing near Gastonia, and two sisters, Mrs. J. M. Faires and Miss Harriett Dickson, also survive. The funeral and burial took place Wednesday afternoon at Olney Presbyterian church of which he was a member, Rev. G. A. Sparrow conducting the services. And Will the Sahib Ride? The best way under the sun to kill time?bar none?is to travel in a British chopaya. This vessel is as cumbersome as It is picturesque. In appearance it is a cross between an autumnal festival float and a king's triumphal car. Its body is rectangular. Four carved posts support a double roof. Between the roofs is space sufficient to hold one's baggage and body servant. The body Is usually brilliantly painted?sky blue is a favorite color?and elaborately ornamented with flowers and divinities of ludicrous lines and features. The sides, which are open, are hung with curtains. The traveler sits in the center of the body while four white oxen, their backs covered with red cloths, carry him over the ground at the leisurely rate of two miles an hour. That is, on level stretches. It is considerably less going up hill. It is decidedly more going down. As soon as the descent is begun the driver goads the oxen into galloping, and down the hill the chopaya careens madly. The wise traveler never goes down two hills in a chopaya. He gets out and walks after negotiating his first one in this hair-raising fashion. The unusual sensations attendant on this little experience are heightened by the circumstance that at the foot of the average Indian hill road a miniature torrent runs. This is crossed only by a narrow foot bridge, and into the stream the oxen plunge, to fetch up panting on the rising ground on the opposite side. It is needless to state, perhaps, that the occupant of the chopaya also fetches up panting, and copiously bruised from head to feet, at the same point. Such is the effect of a trip in a chopaya that even soft-hearted Europeans who have ridden in it do not think It incumbent on them to warn their friends and acquaintances against traveling in the same manner. The only way to keep the incidents of a chopaya trip from ranking forever in one's mind is to know that some friend or acquaintance is innocently preparing to undergo similar torture. Bad as is the chopaya for making the traveller ache sorely in every muscle and joint, it is not to be anathematized in the same breath with' the Indian mail cart. After Rousselet, the famous French traveller, had discovered the first stage of a certain Journey in a chopaya, he began casting about for another mode of travel, was told that the mall cart would soon be along, and at once determined to take It. In the interval of the car's arrival and departure from the station Rousselet scrambled onto the high box set on two Immense wheels and seated himself with his Kooir in tho rtrlvflr Prom the time the driver cracked his whip until the next station was reached he had to hang on for dear life itself. Up hill and down the cart shot. It took curves on one wheel. It leaped. It swayed from side to side. It did everything that the handiwork of man could do to bruise poor Rousselet. So that when the driver's trumpert blew to clear the road, and, a moment later, Rousselet got a glimpse of his chopaya, with his baggage, pulled up by the roadside, he Implored the driver to let him get off that he might continue the Journey in It. To his great sorrow he learned that an Indian mail cart does not stop for anything short of a smashup between stations. ?Washington Star. WOMEN IN MEN'S ATTIRE. Some Reasons That Have Been Given For Abandoning Skirts. Cases of women in male attire are more frequent than may be supposed.! Numerous women have fought in battle as common soldiers. The story of those who have for various reasons donned civilian male attire may not be so romantic, but it Is equally extraordinary. Rosa Bonheur's case is, perhaps, the most famous. This celebrated animal painter petitioned the French government to allow Her to wear male dress at the horse fairs which she had to attend in order to obtain material for her pictures. The petition was successful and for many years Mme. Bonheur went about France universally respected in the guise of a "manwoman." Nor was Mme. Bonheur the only lady to whom the privilege was granted. At least three other women?a sculptor, a scientist and a journalist?hold a like permission from the French government, and utilize it to the full. It is usual and permissible, for woo^Ant molo nftlrti in ORFtflin men iv ?uv|/i, itiMiv ? ? ? ... ?? ? forms of athletics and sport and in such occupations as gardening, farming, and colliery labor. We have had women footballers in this country, but the sight has not been edifying. In hunting, cycling, mountaineering, hockey, etc., the wearing of semimasculine garb is almost a necessity. The custom of riding astride is growing among horsewomen, and of course this cannot be done in skirts. Lady Violet Greville informs us that numbers of ladles of title are adopting it, among the Duchess of Westminster, Lady Castlereagh, Lady Constance Stewart-Richardson and the Hon. Mrs. Falrbairn?to mention only a few. The ladies of certain hunts?the Exmoor hunt, for Instance?long ago took to the riding astride habit. A few days ago a lady even had the courage to appear on horseback In Regent's Park, riding astride in a three cornered hat, skirt coat, top boots and breeches. Male attire is usually adopted by women either for criminal purposes or for the necessity of earning a living. In the latter category come the 5,851 females who work at the coal pits of Great Britain, either above or below ground. A very large proportion of these, especially in Lancashire, wear trousers at their work. Many other examples of men-women workers may be cited. "Lady Jack," the daughter of a distinguished naval officer, works on a farm near St. Mary Cray, dressed in a neat Norfolk suit, with cap. legglns and boots to match. Tall and muscular, she shares all the rough work with the laborers. A wagoner who was knocked down and killed at Colombes, France, last December, turned out to be a woman. She was noted for her feats of strength, which gained for her the nickname of Iron Arm. She could use her fists with such skill that few men cared to stand against her. "Capt. John Tweed," sailed the Atlantic for years as a male skipper, the secret being revealed by a post- J mortem. Esther McEwan, a fifteenyear-old Scott'.sn lassie, caused a sensation four year ago by dressing as a boy and working first in a coal mine and then running away to sea as a cabin boy. She successfully completed several voyages before her sex was discovered. With regard to criminal masqueraders, a Lo...:on detective asserts that scores of women are wearing men's nlnfViAO 11-? T .nn/lnn f/?v n?.fn riniic put) _ sons. Mabel Truelove was recently sent to jail for a month for traveling on railways in made attire and defrauding the companies. Gertrude Chapman, a sixteen-year-old girl, was caught at Downing." who was brought up at the Mistley. riding on a stolen bicycle in a young man's cycling clothes. "Paul Mansion House in September last year, proved to be a woman, although dressed in a jacket suit, with brown leather leggins, white shirt and collar and wideawake hat. The amazing adventures of the "man-woman" Catherine Coome were told at length by herself in 1904. She was then aged sixty-eight years, fifty of which she had lived strenuously as a man, in men's clothes. Dock laboring, printing, seamanship, painting and decorating were famiiiar occupations to her. She married Perefval Coome at the age of fifteen. A female cab-driver named Hilly Seymour, held a. license in London for three years. She looked a rather short and stout cabby, but she earned her livelihood with the best of the fraternity "on the rank." Migrating to Liverpool, she worked there for six years without question as a licensed hackney cab driver. Falling into the hands of the police, her sex was discovered in Walton Jail. Afterward she disappeared, but It is quite possible that she may now be back in London, a respected elderly cabby perched upon her hansom.?London Express. A DREAM THAT WON. The True Story That Is Related by a Veracious Writer. One reason why truth Is stranger than Action is that makers of Action generally try to be plausible, while truth Is never hampered by any such consideration. Here, for Instance, Is a true story. No reasonably expert Action writer would think of concocting so improbable a yarn. A Brooklyn man, whom we may as well call Smith?the Smiths are all so used to It tjiey probably won't mind? this Smith dreamed a policy gig one | night not long ago. The numbers were so deeply impressed on his mind that he remembered them when he awoke and told them to a relative at the breakfast table. "Give me a quarter," said the relative hnif in fun. "and I will play the gig today." Smith tossed a quarter over to him, and the matter dropped from his mind. That afternoon a knowing horseman gave Smith a dead straight tip. It was the surest thing ever and a good long shot, so Smith borrowed $50 and lost It on the horse. That evening on his way home he passed the cigar store where he usually stopped. He concluded that, with only 80 cents in his pocket, he'd better smoke his pipe after dinner. "Give me a quarter," said his relative after the evening meal, "and I'll give you a good cigar." But Smith went right on filling up the old pipe. "Well, give me a quarter and I won't give you a good cigar," the relative Insisted. "I've no quarters to spare," Smith answered morosely. He was dreadfully in the dumps. He had promised to pay the $50 next day and had no idea how he was going to raise It. "Give me a quarter, I tell you," the relative demanded. "I must have It." "Oh, well, if It's as bad as that"? and Smith flung the silver piece across to him. "There," said the relative, "now you are entitled to half the winnings. I put a dollar on your dream gig today, and it won an even hundred." He handed $50.50 out to Smith and the incident was closed. Every one of ' * V-. a Kn/I /I ma/1 hflH (.lie III ret IIUUIUCIO UC uau Uica?iuv? .tuv. won. Now don't tell me that It Is a good story. It Isn't. It Is merely a true story.
