tumorous gfpattramt. A Witness. The lawyer for the defendant was trying to cross-examine a Swede who had been subpoenaed by the other side as a witness in an accident case. "Now, Anderson, what do you do?" asked the lawyer. "Sank you, aw am not vera well." 1 "I didn't ask you how Is yourhea'th, i but what do you do?" "Oh. yas; aw work." "Wp know that, but what kind of 1 work do you do?" "Puddy hard work; It ees puddy hard work." "Yes. but do you drive a team or do you work on a railroad, or do you handle a machine or do you work in a factory?" "Oh, yas; aw work In a fact'ry." "Very good. What kind of a factory?" "It ees a very big factory?" "Your honor," said the lawyer, addressing the court, "if this keeps on I think we'll have to have an interpreter." Then he turned to the witness: "Look here, Anderson, what do you do in that factory?what do you make?" he asked. "Oh, yas; I un'eratan'; you want to know vat I make 'n fact'ry, eh?" "Exactly. Now tell us what you make." "Von dollar an' a half a day." And the interpreter was called in to earn his salt.?Philadelphia Ledger. Won the Bet. Smith and Jones were passing down Oxford street, London, and before them strutted one of the members of a musical society, who sang as he walked along, snatches from ballads and operas to his own intense satisfaction. "I bet you a level shilling," said S. to J., "that I can give that chap in front of us, who Is singing, a terrific kick, which he will not resent, and Instead of being annoyed will thank me." "Perhaps you know him?he Is a friend of yours," J. replied. "I have never spoken to him, and he doesn't know me," said S. "Right you are, then; I'll take you," said J. S. advanced to the warbler and, watching his opportunity, dealt the tenor a terrific kick. The singer turned around, maddened with passion at the unprovoked and unexpected attack S., In no way disconcerted, raised hl.i hat politely, and, with the most profound bow, and with the appearance of sincere regret, said: "Excuse me! I thought from your voice I recognized my old friend Caruso." "The compliment was too telling, and the singer, overcome with pride at the suggested comparison, replied: "My dear sir, you are too kind!" Smith won his bet, but the joke should not be tried upon the same tenor again.?Tlt-Blts. The Acme of Proficiency. When we reach the higher studies of foreign languages we are told to seek diligently to learn to think In the alien tongue, as well as to read and wrue It. That Is. we are expected to catch the meaning of the strange words ( without any connection with English or English speech. From this one may come to appreciate the experience of a certain Por- 1 to Rllcan negro. He was asked not ( very long after his arrival In the Unit- ( ed States If English was difficult for ' him. "Oh, no," he said. "I learn her ver* quick." 3 "So you could understand it and < talk it?" > "Oh, yes ver" good. But I have one < trouble ver' long time. I speak good, 1 an* I hear good, but cannot dream in ' English. I always dream in Spanish, i An' I feel ver" bad, an' I try so hard to dream English. An" one night I do. I i dream English when I am asleep, an' I wake an' I cry, an' I weep for joy. I am happy. I can now dream In English."?Youth's Companion. Very Pleasant. The well-known wit of London omnibus drivers at times approaches the extremely personal, as witness the following: A little while ago a gentleman riding along Cheapside was suddenly interested to see his driver hurriedly fumble In his pocket at the approach In the opposite direction of a rival omnibus, and drawing forth a piece of string to dangle it with a taunting playfulness at the other driver. The latter, however, ignoring the overtures, drove steadily on, with a stolid indifference that evidently disappointed the performer. Turning to the gentleman by his side, who had watched the event with curiosity, the latter jerked his thumb disdainfully after the disappearing driver. "He ain't got no sense 'o humor, guv'nor," he declared, contemptuously. Raising the string he again dangled It derisively. "His brother was hung last Monday!" he explained.?Tit-Bits. A Fish Story.?Brown had returned from a fishing expedition, and after partaking of a most welcome dinner was relating some of his fishing experiences. "Last year," he said, "while fishing for pike I dropped half a sovereign. I went to the same place this year, and after my line had been cast a few minutes I felt a terrific pull. Eventually I landed a fine pike which had swallowed the hook, and cutting it open to release the hook, to my amazement"? "Ah." said his friends, "you found a a half-sovereign?" "Oh. no." replied Brown. "I found nine shillings, sixpence in silver and threepense In copper." "Well, what became of the other threepence?" queried his friends. "1 suppose the pike paid to go through the lock with it," said Brown. ?Tatler. What Nbxt??Everybody knows one or more of those conscientious egotists who cannot rid themselves of the idea that no one can be trusted to carry out the simplest details of routine work without their personal supervision. It was one of these men who sailed for England, leaving in his brother's care a parrot of which he was very fond. All the way across the Atlantic he worried about the bird, and no sooner had he landed at Southampton than he rushed over this cablegram to his brother: "Be sure and feed parrot." And the brother cabled back: "Have fed him. but he's hungry again. What shall I do next?"?Woman's Home Companion. JjfUscrllanrous grading. IN COUNTIES ADJOINING.

Mauney and John Hanna are ppening up a restaurant in Yorkvllle, S. C. Mr. Mauney went down yesterday to superintend matters The laws of the state of North Carolina and the C. & N.-W. trains are things that the Southern railroad cannot run over without danger of being ditched. As a result of attempting to run over the C. & N.-W. crossing this morning when the C. & N.-W. train had the right of way, Southern's engine No. 875, running light towards Charlotte, was derailed by Tower Signalman Gattis. It has been the custom of trains on the Southern road to disregard the rights of trains on the other road as regards the crossing here and since the signal station has been in place here it Is reported that more than one engineer has disregarded the signals. This morning just before 5 o'clock when the engineer on engine No. 875 attempted to run by without permission, his engine was promptly derailed, causing train No. 44 to be delayed several hours Mrs. Lucy Ford, aged 59, died Friday quite suddenly from heart disease, at her home near Bethesda. Mrs. Ford Is well known throughout the county and her death is deeply regretted. She Is survived by a brother, Mr. Joe Ford, and one sister, Mrs. J. Math Armstrong, also by two daughters, Mesdames W.

The least score reported was 16 to 6 in favor of the Juniors, who were represented in the box by Messrs. Johnnie Fry and Gray Spencer with Charlie Spencer behind the big mlt. For the other side Charlie Moore, Will Mac Morris and Gus McLean did equal honors, while Jimmie Williams wore the muzzle Messrs. R. B. Babington and W. N. Davis returned yesterday from the Jamestown exposition. Mr. Babington was much interested in the llying machine which is now doing business daily at the fair grounds. Very little has been said about the presence of the Hying machine at the exposition, but it is really one of the most interesting features of the big show. For an hour or more at a time, says Mr. Babington. it soars a thousand feet or more in the air while wondering thousands stand below and watch its every movement. A splendid feature of North Carolina day was the parade of the North Carolina troops which Governor Glenn reviewed, along with the United States troops.

The early Chaldeans, Egyptians, Greeks and Romans all had h religious festivals in which the wine t played an important part. The Bac- b chanalia, so called from the wine god, tl Bacchus, were first of the nature of t harvest festivals, but later became v riotous orgies. t Wine is first mentioned in the Holy a Bible in connection with Noah. From g then on to the end It Is frequently re- t ferred to. ? The Chinese claim the first crusade against alcoholic liquors. One of n their emperors as early as the eleventh v century B. C., ordered the use of wine 1? to be forbidden in the country. It is r said that the opium habit finally took tl its place. b Early reforms are attributed to the i? priests of India and Persia; and the li earjy Buddhists taught total absti- t< nence. b The Holy Bible gives Instances of tl prohibition of the use of wine. The priesthood were forbidden it when on p duty. Lev. x, 9. The Rechabites were e; commanded by their father, Jonadab, is to drink no wine, neither build a house e nor sow seed, nor plant vineyards, nor g have any; but to dwell in tents and be strangers in the land. Jer. xxxlv, 2-19. s< The early Greeks and Romans seem ci tn havo had nothine in the nature of T prohibition. But the Carthagenians, a along with their infant sacrifices, for- S bade the use of wine to their soldiers a and civil magistrates until the Romans 11 appeared on the scene. f< Mohammed forbade the use of alco- d holic drinks, and the use of pictorial w designs save those purely geographi- ti cal. He also allowed polygamy, and a spread his religion with the sword. It s| Is said, however, that Turkey, the b heart of Mohammedanism, is by no b means dry. Some of the church fathers thundered against the abuses of H the drink, but wine at that time was ti used extensively for sacramental pur- ci I poses. li King Edgar of England, by a law ti I established near the middle of the ci (eleventh century, restricted the num- e ber of taverns in London, and In 1285 c taverns were required to close at cur- ci few. Parliament attempted in 1736 to w restrict the use of gin by means of a prohibitory tax, which, however, only Ibrought about illicit trade. n In this country, since 1789, the na- a tional government had placed internal w | revenue taxes and custom duties upon ti liquors. Dating back as far as April, si 1808, there have been temperance so- b ' 1 ? ** - TTmI*a/I CJfotau TKn wnm. I A tltJlies 111 me uuncu oiaico. 1 lie "V... ? an's crusade led to the foundation of n the Woman's Confederated Temper- b ance Union In 1874. In 1868 a prohibition party arose in Illinois and a F temperance party In Michigan, which c | culminated In the National Prohibition b | party, organized In Chicago in Septem- r ber, 1869, which has been slowly gain- h lng ground in various parts of the si try. si The earliest state laws were those in tl Connecticut, adopted in 1839, which n left the matter to local option. New is York adopted similar laws in 1845: si Maine passed state prohibition laws in 3 1846; Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont in 1852, and New Hamp- Sl shire in 1855. After these Delaware, b Indiana, Nebraska, Michigan, Illinois, b Iowa, North and South Dakota and h Kansas Introduced prohibition into * Its constitution, and South Carolina H adopted the dispensary system in 1892. ^ Prohibition bills were defeated in v Texas. Oregon, Tennessee and Penn- n sylvanla. After varied experiences all these states of the Union which adopted F prohibition repealed the law with the b exception of Maine, Kansas, and South n Carolina with dispensary, the greater e number of them adopting instead lo- a cal option, so that at the beginning of 1 this year there were thirty-nine states b operating under local option laws. * It Is said that Kansas practically has local option, no attempt being made at concealment for over a decade; though 1 some claim that this Is true only In the y larger cities. The same condition is c said to exist In the other states hav- v ing prohibition. It was Just this con- ' ditlon that led New Hampshire to re- 1 peal the prohibitory laws and adopt s local option in 1903. The condition in * Maine at the present day is thus de- 1 scribed by an ardent upholder of pro- F hibitlon: "The Maine law is enforced r in many of the counties, wherever, in 1 fact, the people demand it."?Macon Telegraph. ' HUNTING BIG GAME IN LUXURY. r f Train De Luxe Takes You Into Heart s of Africa. A visit to South aid Central Africa . will show why great game has been imiuieu uui su ami iiiuigiy mm cic- i phant and giraffe are now rarely seen ] south of the Zambesi. It is mainly due to a dozen marvels of railroad enterprise that are being pushed in or- 1 der that Cecil Rhodes's dream of 8,000 miles of track between Cape Town and Cairo should be realized. One may now enter a train of palace cars at Cape Town and travel 2.000 miles to the great Zambesi river < that divides the Dark Continent in two. Xot even the mighty falls stay ( the transcontinental road. It is carried across the gorge 400 feet deep by a steel bridge, and a little beyond the traveller Is amazed to find the magnificent five storied Grand hotel, with a hundred bed rooms, electric lights and elevators and fans dumped down amid savage scenery. From the windows t of this strangest of hotels one may shoot rhinoceros and giraffe, lion and leopard and hippo, not to mention c twenty different kinds of antelope, 4 from the immense kudu down to the little hartebeest and impala. It Is the famous and costly "Big ^ Game Limited" that whirls one into the savage heart of Africa. Little ' more than fifteen years ago the 750,000 square miles of Rhodesia had not a mile of railroad. Then came the fatal cattle plague known as the rinder pesi, wnicn uenuueu wie cuuiury ui , even the most primitive means of transport, and on top of this the Mat- t abele rebellion of 1896, which resulted in terrible slaughter of the whites. These two causes led to great ac- a tivlty of railroad building In the vast territory to which Cecil Rhodes gave his name, and the last 228 miles, from Palapye to Buluwayo, were laid in the incredibly short space of four and a 1 half months. Then it was that old ^ coaching days in this part of Africa passed away foreVfer. s It is not until Huluwayo is reached j that even the larger antelopes are seen from the car windows. 'Within a few miles of this boom town of the veldt g are the wild, rocky Matoppo Hills, where eleven years ago Cecil Rhodes went unarmed and almost alone to talk over the Matabele savages to peace. Here, too, imbedded in the olid granite, lies Cecil Rhodes's body, he tomb facing a grand panorama of 'entral African scenery which the mpire builder himself called "the lew of the World." It was in 1898 that Rhodes formuited a scheme for the extension of i he main trunk line from Buluwayo " y way of Gwelo to the Zambesi and hence onward to Lake Tanganyika, lis restless ambition hoped that meanwhile the British government would >e pushing south through the swamps .nd forests of the upper Nile and thus radually a Cape to Cairo railway, all tritlsh, would become an accomplishd fact. It is worth noting that the 180 illes from Salisbury to Gwelo tra ersed by the Big Game Limited were I lid while the Boer war was actually ? aging on Rhodesia's borders, so that ( he contractors had another formida- a le enemy added to those already ex- * iting, which ranged from man-eating ? ons, who terrorized their laborers, ~ > the destructive white ants which ored through and destroyed all the mber. Without fuss, however, the pioneers ersevered, and today the Cape govrninent railroads issue circular tourits tickets into the haunts of the wild lephants and into lion ridden junles. One novel feature of the Rhodealan action is that magnificent saloon ars are provided for private hire, he term must be at least one month nd the charge includes all catering, urely here is a novelty?a magnifient palace on wheels lit with electric ght, sumptuously carpeted, with peract table service and card rooms, rawing rooms, luxurious beds fitted 'ith electric fans at the side, minla- ? jre kitchens with Portuguese chefs, library, shower baths, and even a tenographer to take down notes if the ^ I?

The trunks were twist- ? d into strange fantastic shapes years ^ go through having been torn and 1 rampled upon as saplings by the vast ? lerds of elephant that roamed all over ^ his district.
