On* Thing Scotch Can't Hoard.
Miss Elizabeth Marbury of the
board of governors of New York's
Woman's club, the Colony, was discussing
the question of the club's
liquor license.
"It Is rather a matter of indifference
to us" she said, "whether we get
a license or not. Women, you know,
are not given to drinking. They are
too careful of their appearance. They
desire to remain slim and fresh, and
wine, as you know, tends to make us
coarse and stale and fat.
"So, if we had a license, I think
we should sell little. It would not
be with us as with a farmer I once
met in Scotland.
"Traveling: in the Scottish Highlands
one summer, I stopped at a
farmhouse for a cup of milk, and the
view from the door was so lovely
that I said to the farmer:?
"Ah, what a superb place to live
in!*
" 'Ah, what a superb place to live
tional Scots, 'it's a' richt; but hoo wad
ye like, ma'am to hae to walk fufteen
mile ilka time you wanted a bit glass
o' whuskey?'
" 'Ou, aye,' he answered, inconvenget
a demijohn of whisky and keep
it in the house?'
"He shook his head sadly.
" 'Whuskey,' he said, 'won't keep." "

Finding the Donkey.
The usual group was gathered
around "The New York Store" talking
of Dick Mullin's lost donkey. EveryniiA
had been looking for it, without
success, since it had strayed out of the
pasture lot a day or two before.
Jim Thompson, a lanky individual,
regarded as more or less of an imbecile
by the townsmen, finally spoke up:
"I think I could find your donkey."
"How can you find him, Jim," asked
the owner, "when the best men in
town ain't been able to git trace of
him?"
"Wa-al," rejoined Jim, "I kin try,
can't I? How much is it worth to
ye?"
The owner "allowed it was worth
a dollar.
"All right," said Jim, and walked
away on his search. To the surprise
of all he returned in less than half an
hour leading the missing donkey by a
rope halter.
"Sakes alive!" exclaimed Mullins,
as he paid over the dollar, "how in the
world did ye find him so quick, Jim?"
"Wa'al," returned Jim, "I thought
to myself, 'Now, ef I was a jackass
where would I go?' And so I went
there, and he had."?Woman's Home

Figure* Too High.
It was a little out of the way church
the first Sunday in May, just after the
"foot washing" had been observed,
which is a custom followed by that
particular sect of people, that the
preacher announced that the congregation
would join in singing hymn
No. 23, "My soul, be on thy guard;
ten thousand foes," etc.
Jones, a red faced, broad shouldered
giant, tried to put on a lot or energy
and sing tenor, for this was a special
occasion, and he seemed to be the
whole church, since he was musical
director and the only choir they had,
as well as janitor and deacon. In
fact, he did everything but preach.
Jones rose up and in stentorian tones
began to sing in a pitch too high.
When he got to the second line ("Ten
thousand foes," etc.), it was necessary
for his voice to rise beyond his capacity,
and he broke down. The congregation
began to titter, and a brother
in the front row said:
" "Pears to me like you're a leetle
bit too high."
An old gentleman in his shirt
sleeves, over in the amen corner, rose
up with a judicial air and drawled
out:
"S'pose we just try five thousand."
?Judge's Library.
A Tart Old Lady.
In Indiana a good many years ago
a certain old lady, summoned as a
witness, came into court wearing a
large poke bonnet, such as was then
much affected by rural folks. Her
answers to the questions put to her
being rather indistinct, the court requested
her to speak louder, though
without much success.
"The court cannot hear a word you
say, my good woman," said the judge.
"Please take off that huge bonnet of
yours."
"Sir," she said composedly and distinctly
enough this time, "the court
has a perfect right to bid a gentleman
take off his hat. but It has no rigni iu
make a lady remove her bonnet."
"Madam," replied the Judge, "you
seem so well acquainted with the law
that I think you had better come up
and take a seat with us on the bench."
"I thank your honor kindly," she
responded, dropping a low courtesy to
the court, "but there are old women
enough there already."?Law Notes.
The Critic Scored.?Arthur W.
Pinero is the authority for the following
story about the late Jos. Knight: |
At a supper party at the Garrick
club some years ago a theatrical manager
wound up a humorous speech by
declaring his conviction that it would
be to the advantage of the drama if a
muster were made of all the theatrical
critics and they were shot offhand.
Mr. Knight, called upon to reply to this
playful stricture, rose, and in his richest
tones spoke as follows:
"Gentlemen. I have not the faintest
objection, understand me, to the course
proposed by Mr. X., provided that, in
mercy, we are shot before being notified
to witness such entertainments as
our dear friend has recently produced
at his theater."

There was a moment's silence, then,
"I Just can't tell whether that Is an

"Yes, but I can butt In, can't I?"?

Gaatonia Gazette, August 23: The
Union baseball team won a victory
over the Begonia team at Union
Monday evening. The score was 5 to 6
and ten innings were necessary to
decide the game. The game was
interesting throughout, the pitching of
Riddle and the batting and base work
of Horsley deserving special mention.

Bolton, young white boys, were held
for the superior court this morning
by Magistrate T. H. White under a
bond of $100 each for entering the store
of Bruner Baker at the Arlington Mill
last night. The boys worked at night
in the Arlington Mills and had been
going into the store for some time by
means of a key in their possession.
Last night Mr. Baker watched the
store and about 2 o'clock this morning
saw the boys go in and went and closed
the door and locked it behind them
with the key the boys had left in the
door. The police were summoned and
the boys were brought to the city

in attempting to hold them from the
ground Mr. W. A. Taylor, the driver
was run over and seriously Injured by
one of the animals stepping on his leg.
The following is taken from
yesterday's Concord Tribune: Mr.
John C. Grist of Gastonia, a brakeman
on through freight No. 72,
was dangerously injured this morning
about 9 o'clock, by being knocked
from the top of his train, his head
striking the overhead bridge just
north of the station. A hole was
knocked in the back of his head,
fracturing the skull, and his collar
bone was broken. He was taken to the
Salisbury hospital on No. 36 and was
still unconscious when left. This was
Grist's first run north of Charlotte
and he did not know that the bridge
was there. He was walking towards
the rear of the train and could not see
the bridge. Dr. Young attended him
land said that although he was serriously
hurt his chance of recovery
was good. Mr. W. N. Davis, who is an
uncle of young Grist, left Gastonia on
No. 36 this morning for Salisbury to
look after the Injured man. His mother
Mrs. J. T. Grist, lives at Lenoir.
A REWARD OF FAITH.
The Story of a Church Twice Struck
by Lightning.
The congregation in a hilly district
in Ohio, says the Youth's Companion,
bought a small tract of land and
erected a church upon it. Then the
question of insurance came up. Mr.
Sipes, the wealthiest member, who
had contributed more than half the
money needed for the new structure,
declared that he did not believe in insurance.
"This is the Lord's building.
He'll take care of it," he said.
His view prevailed and there was no
insurance. In a few weeks the building
was struck by lightning and almost
totally consumed by lire. Another one
was erected, Mr. Sipes contributing
the greater portion of the fund as before.
This time the demand was almost
unanimous that it be insured, but
Mr. Sipes again objected on the suine
ground.
"If it burns down again, brethren,"
he said, "I'll agree to rebuild it myself."
Again he carried his point. In less
than a month the new church was
struck by lightning again, and although
strenuous efforts were made
to save It, the loss was aimosi ioiai.
"There must be some reason for
this, brethren," said Brother SI pes. "I
am going out to find out what it is."
Thereupon he employed a force of
men to sink a shaft on the site of the
twice destroyed church. Within a few
days a rich vein of ore was found, and
the church property was sold for many
times the amount needed to buy land
in another locality and build again.
"I tell you brethren," said Brother
Sipes, "it pays to trust the Bord. He's
a great deal better business manager
than anybody in this congregation."
ti' Everything sounds like an encore
to some men.
.ttf'The philosophical person is apt
not to be when considering troubles of
his own.
THE LAST OF THE MODOCS.
A Once Powerful Indian Tribe That
Is Fast Passing.
Placidly smoking the pipe of peace,
apparently forgetful of the eventful
past, about fifty Indians, relatives and
survivors of the renowned Modocs,
who. took part In the most interesting
Indian rebellion in American history,
are living on allotments near Miami,
I. T. These fifty are, perhaps, the only
survivors or relatives of the once powerful
tribe.
The Modocs, it will be remembered,
were an Indian tribe of northern California
and southern Oregon. In 1872
they became turbulent and refused to
remain on their reservation. General
E. R. S. Canby, a veteran of the Mexican
and civil wars, was sent against
them, but they, after firing on the
United States forces, retreated to the
lava beds. The advance of the U. S.
troops was greatly impeded by the peculiar
typography of the country, and
a good many of them were picked off
by Indian sharpshooters concealed behind
the rocks and crags of the lava
beds. Efforts were then made to negotiate
with them, and a conference
was held between General Canby and
[ two peace commissioners, on the one
hand, and a number of Modocs, Including
their chief. Captain Jack, on
the other. While General Canby and
his aides were seated on stones around
a small fire, two Indians who were
concealed in the bushes, rushed from
their hiding places with guns and shot
to death the general and one of his
companions. A vigorous compalgn
was then begun against the treacherous
Indians, and in the following summer
General Jefferson C. Davis, who
succeeded General Canby, captured
the Modoc band. Captain Jack and
three other leaders were tried by military
commission and hanged, while
two others were Imnrisoned for life.
About 100 who had not followed Captain
Jack were permitted to remain
In California. The remainder of the
tribe, about 145, of whom the fifty are
either survivors or descendants, were
transferred to the Indian Territory.
Altogether the war cost half a million
dollars. Sixty odd soldiers and Indian
allies were killed and nearly as many
wounded.
"Little Man," who Is said to be a
nephew of Captain Jack, Is the only
known relative of the famous warrior.
Chief "Scarecrow," now bent with age
and Infirmity. Is one of the survivors
of the rebellion. Besides him are two
or three others who were transported
from California. The others In the
territory are descendants of the old
warriors. If the tribe continues to
dwindle as rapidly during the next
few years as it has In the past, another
decade will mark the death of the
last Modoc Indian in America.
THE OCEAN CURRENTS.
Vagaries of the Streams That Begin
and End In the Sea.
There are as many vagaries In the
water as in the wind. Why, for Instance.
should three great ocean currents
send their warm waters across
the wide Pacific, Atlantic and across
the Cape of Good Hope? Many theories
have been advanced to solve the
problem of their origin, but all have
proved fallacious.
Other and equally mysterious currents
exist In well nigh all parts of the
world. The tides are so erratic in different
parts of the world that one hesitates
to accept the theory that the
moon controls them In all cases, says
Wlssen fur Alle. It Is on record that
? ' 1. ?..? !,/?
me sea nas run iui weena uui ui ?..?c
Java sea through the strait of Sunda
and thence back again for a like period
without any perceptible rise or
fall during those times.
Then there is the equatorial current
that Hows Into the Caribbean sea,
the overflowing current to the eastward
around Cape Horn, the cold
stream flowing from the Icy regions
of the north past Newfoundland and
Nova Scotia and along the American
coast to the extreme end of Florida,
the continual current running with a
velocity of from four to five knots an
hour through the strait of Gibraltar
Into the Mediterranean sea, the swift
current running across the rocks and
shoals of the end of Billlton Island,
which apparently starts from nowhere
and ends somewhere In the vicinity of
the same place, and the current which,
starting halfway up the China sea,
runs from two to three knots an hour
to the north and Anally ends abruptly
at the north of Luzon.
Then we have those tidal vagaries
known the world over as bores. Residents
along the North sea are familiar
with them and can see them run
from side to side In a zigzag shape until
they reach their limit, often tearing
the ships from their anchorage.
They originate nobody knows where.
The rush of waters in the bay of
Fundy is nothing but a huge bore
sweeping all before it up to the head
of the bay until the western waters
have risen to the height of fifty or sixfoot
Off Snnthamntnn. in Eng
land, there are the double tides, while
In Singapore, It has been observed for
days at a time that there has been
but one rise and fall in the twentyfour
hours. The tides may be and
very often appear as though they
were "moonstruck," but they are certainly
not controlled with hard and
fast rules by that or any other body.
PRINTER'S GRIM HUMOR.
Leaves Mythical Fortune to Relatives
Who Neglected Him.
Jesse Burrlght. an old printer who
died in Des Moines recently, had a
sense of humor that did not leave him
even when on his deathbed, although
his last manifestation of that trait was
of a grim kind.
For years he had not been in communication
with his relatives, although
he had several sisters and a
brother residing in California and another
in Ohio. When Burright was
taken ill of typhoid fever about six
weeks ago he notified his relatives?
brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews
?of the fact, and not one of them
responded to his appeal for aid.
Friends in Des Moines took charge of
the case and helped to bear his expenses.
They also paid the expenses
of the funeral.
Shortly before Burright died he sent
out a second circular to his unrespomling
relatives. It was simply a
printed copy of a will purported to
have been drawn by attorneys and
carrying the news that he had died.
Burright in this will disposed of about
$25,000 in cash. He left his brothers
ami sisters each $5,000. and to his
other relatives he distributed cash and
real estate as if he were a millionaire.
Then there was a hurrying of distant
relatives to the bedside of the dying
man. He was too ill to see them
when they arrived, and he died without
disclosing the location of his
wealth.
Quarrels soon arose among the gathered
relatives, and an attempt was
made by some of them to break the
will. The brothers and sisters insisted
that they were entitled to the entire 1
estate and then threatened legal pro- for
ceedings among themselves as to the ,ng
disposition of the property. Two of
the brothers engaged attorneys and
were preparing for an attack upon the ,
sin
will on the gTound that the deceased ""j
brother was Insane and that the entire tj,a
estate should go to them. The law- wa
yers began an Investigation by start- opt
Ing In to find where their fee was to f
come from. And they made a dlscov- car

The following story Is told of one of E
the Arabian caliphs of Cordova: El 1

a poor woman a piece of ground that SP']
lay contiguous to It, and when she

caliph's officers took by force what ,n '
they could not otherwise obtain. waJ
The poor woman applied to IbuBechln,
the cadi, or chief magistrate, not
of Cordova, for Justice. The case was tf,r
a delicate and dangerous one to med- on
die with, but the cadi resolved, even
at the sacrifice of his life, to recall to
his master's recollection a truth that atj,
the best of rulers will sometimes for- and
get. He mounted his ass and, taking prii
a large sack with him, rode to the palace
of the caliph. The prince happen- are
ed to be sitting In a pavilion that had woi
been erected In the poor woman's garden.
A
"Prince of the faithful," said Be- ku
chin, prostrating himself. "I have wh<
come to ask permission of thee to fill cou
this sack with the earth upon which Poi
thou standest." tlst
Hacchem, although considerably moi
surnrlsed at such a reauest. cheerfully but
allowed .him to fill his sack. When the;
this was done the cadi besought his
sovereign to crown his goodness by
aiding him in loading his ass with the ^
burden. This extraordinary request B
surprised the caliph still more, but he
yielded to the cadi's entreaty and at- B
tempted to raise the sack. It was so A
heavy, however, that he could scarce- fl
ly lift it. r.
"How thinkest thou that I can lift I
such a burden?" asked Hacchem, I
laughing. if"Prince
of believers," replied Be- B
chin, with impressive gravity, "this B
sack, which thou findest so heavy to A
bear, contains but a small part of the I
ground that you took by violence from I
the rightful owner. How, then," shall ryou
be able at the day of Judgment to |
support the weight of the whole?"
The caliph, struck with this ad- Idress,
embraced the cadi, thanked B
him, acknowledged his fault and lm- A
mediately restored to the poor woman I
the field of which she had been des- I
polled, together with the pavilion and B
everything it contained. ^
The praise due to a despotic sover- I
elgn capable of such action is Inferior I
only to that which should be accord- B
ed to the cadi who Induced him to A
perform it.
SOME NOTABLE RETORTS. ^
Two Stories of Ante-Bellum Tennesseeans?Brownlow
and Henry. *jL

Democrat, once president of the Unit- e|*

of joint debates had reached its ^
close, Johnson addressed the Whigs ejt?
in the audience: "I have spoken with
the boa3t-eagle orator from the Mis- ^
sissippi to the Unaka mountains, and
as yet I see no flesh in his talons nor
blood on his beak." Quick as a flash
Henry*was on his feet, saying: "The
American eagle Is a proud bird and jl.
feeds not on carrion."
One of the best retorts In history
occurred when Parson Brownlow was
war governor of Tennessee. On one
of his journeys he attended service at ^
a small Methodist church In the upper a,,
part of the state. The parson was a
devout Methodist, and seldom allowed *2?
his political rancor to Interfere with ^
the charity of his religious faith. On
this occasion, being a visiting clergy- T?
man, he was placed in the "Amen Corner,"
near the pulpit. The local min- .
Ister was as ardently Democratic in
his views as Governor Brownlow was
Republican. In the prayer which fol- .
lowed the lengthy sermon the minister
began to call on the Lord for grace
for his favorites. "God bless Felix ?
Grundy," he began. Parson Brownlow
moved uneasily in his seat, but re- T?
sponded with a conscientious "amen."
"God bless Robert E. Lee," continued

A MESSAGE FROM MARS. ^
His Proof That the Planet Was Inhabited

Ebenezer w?s driving his master's

his thoughts were elsewhere. And so ?
they were; they were soaring far aloft ?

The previous evening Ebenezer had
attended a lecture at the village school
room on "The Heavens," and what
the lecturer had said about Mars be- ^

Ebenezer. As he mechanically guid- ?

dropped an empty whisky bottle upon
Ebenezer's fortunately thick skull.

balloon had passed out of sight, but
the cut on his head and the blood -^1
stained bottle at his feet remained.
Ebenezer Rasped in amazement and u

Then he picked up the bottle and .
