tumorous Department. The Lawyer and the Landlady. The woman was in the box. and she was a very nice-mannered, respectable woman who kept a cheap boarding house, and it was the desire of one of her guests to be dishonest that had brought her to the court to make him pay his board bill, says Tit-Bits. "How old die! you say you were, madam?" inquired the lawyer, with no reason on earth, for an eiueny i landlady is no more anxious to lose a board bill than a young one. "I did not say, sir," she responded, flushing to the roots of her hair. "Will you be kind enough to say, madam?" "It's none of your business.'.' "Objection sustained." smiled the judge. "Um," said the lawyer, rubbing his chin. "How much did you say the amount was the defendant owed * you?" "Three pounds." "And for how long was that?" "Three weeks." "That's one pound a week, isn't it?" "Yes, sir." "Three weeks at one pound a week. Isn't It?" "Three weeks at one pound a week is three pounds, I believe you said?" "Yes sir." The witness was patient, but her temper was not improved under the strain. "Isn't that an extravagant price to pay for board in your locality, madam?" inquired the lawyer severely. "He didn't pay it, sir," answered the worm, beginning to turn. The lawyer gave a little start of surprise, then became Indignant at the very thought of a witness talking | like that. "Don't be facetious, madam," he i said, assuming a tone of warning. ] "This is a serious matter. 1 have ; asked if your prices were not exorbi- i tant, madam. Now, madam, I ask i you in all earnestness, if you mean to ] tell this court that your prices are 1 moderate and that if I should come ] to your house to board you would < charge me one pound a week? Answer j directly, madam," and the barrister i squared his shoulders and assumed an imperial manner. * "Xo, sir," she said, simply. "I would?" i "I thought not," interrupted the ( lawyer, bending over and rubbing his | hands. ] "So, sir," continued the witness, ; "I should not charge you at all. I should make you pay in advance." i ? ? ? i Parting. A magazine editor took down a vol- ' ume dated 1894. ' ?C!?orvKnn rvano ttio m*n of eenlus 1 ? who died in youth." he said, used to write humorous paragraphs for me. Here is a little thing of his. I think ' it's awfully good. I'll read it to you." And he read this brilliant burlesque of a lovers' parting: "It was 6 o'clock, and George Tre- ' sham had been spending the afternoon : with sweet Lillian Bellairs. ' " 'Goodby, darling," the young man said fondly, as they stood at the door. 1 " 'Goodby, George,' she murmured, ' nestling her head in the time-honored 1 place. " "Goodby." " 'Goodby.' " 'In every parting, dearest, there is the image of death,' George Tresham whispered, kissing the girl paS- , slonately. Do you know that we may never meet again?' "'Oh, George, darling!' she cried, clinging to him fiercely. " 'Who knows, my own, what may ' happen ere we see each other once more?' " 'Oh, George, say that you will come back to me?back to your own little loving Lillian! My George, the same beautiful and brave George you have always been!' " Trust me, Lillian, darling; trust your George.' " "Oh, George,' she said, strong in faith which women have, "I do trust you. How could I love you if I did not?' And she kissed him fondly. " 'Then I shall come again, Lillian, my own.' "'But when, George?' she whispered passionately. " 'At eight this evening, darling.' " 'Oh, George," she wailed, 'must it be so long as that? So long. So long? "He took her tenderly in his arms. " 'Darling,' he whispered, 'I will make it half past seven.' And it came to pass as he had spoken.?Washington Star. Could Elongate Himself. John Brink prided himself on having the largest general store in the county. "If man wishes it, and it is made, I have it," was the sign over his store, and the motto which capped all his advertisements in the newspapers. "William," said Mr. Brink one morning. as he was giving instructions to a green clerk, "no one must ever leave this store without making a purchase. If a person doesn't know what he wants, suggest something. And, remember, we have everything, from carpet tacks to mausoleums." William's first customer was a leisurely appearing chap, who gazed about curiously, but had no definite object in view. "Just looking around." he ex- ' plained. 1 "Wouldn't you like to take a look at our new line of postal cards?" suggest- '' ed the eager clerk. 1 "No, not this time," answered the 1 stranger. "I'm just a little short this ' morning." ' "Ah." urged the new clerk, who was ' not familiar with the wonderful ex- ' pansiveness of the language, "then per- ! haps you'd like to look at our line of ' new and handsome stretchers?" m I Hk Was a Clergyman.?According to the Pittsburg Press, a couple of New Yorkers were playing golf on a New Jersey course on election day when they saw a fine-appearing old gentleman looking at them wistfully. They asked him to join the game, which he did witn alacrity. He was mild in speech and manner and played well. But once when he made a foozle he ejaculated vehemently the word: j "Proton!" . A few minutes later, when he had j made another bad play, he repeated: "Croton!" The fourth time he said this one of his new-made friends said: "I do not ? want to be inquisitive, but will you tell me why you say 'Croton* so often?" "Well," said the gentleman, "isn't that the biggest dam near New York?" He was a Presbyterian clergyman fic.m Brooklyn. <1 ^Miscellaneous ileadini). IN COUNTIES ADJOINING.

Death reulted from bronchial pneumonia, khioh set in last Thursday, following . week's illness with la grippe. The news of Captain Stowe's death came as a severe shock to the whole community as Ills illness had not been known to be critical until two or three days before his death. The deceased was born on July 4th, 18:19, at the family home. White Hall, on C'rowder's Creek, and was the son of Abram and Elizabeth Hoyle Stowe. At the time of his death he was therefore C8 years, C months and 2 days old. He was marlied on June 2nd, lfifiR, to Miss Jane Caroline Hunter of York county, S. C.. ?? onoftoAo Uliv* o?wl j,f hi? union there were nine children, only three of whom survive: Messis. W. H and C. F. Stowe and Miss Annie Stowe. Besides his wife and children, the nearest surviving relatives are three first cousins, Col. W. A. Stowe, Miss Addie Hanks and Mrs. I^aura Stowe. Captain Stowe served in the Confederate army as captain of company H, 49th North Carolina regiment, and was for a long period secretary of the William Gajnble Camp of United Confederate, veterans until the time of his resignation at the last annual reunion of the camp. Captain Stowe was for many years a resident of King's Mountain, from which place he moved to Gastonia in March, 1898. He had been since early youth a faithful, consistent and highly active member of the Presbyterian church, had served for nearly half a century as a deacon, and was for many years an elder of the church and a teacher in the Sunday school. The deceased was a member of high standing in .the Masonic fraternity, and had filled many positions of usefulness and honor. At the time of his death he was a member of the Gaston county pension board, had been for sixteen years i Justice of the peace, and for the past seven years had served as court officer for the Gaston superior court PATRICK HENRY. His Pale Face and Glaring Eyes During His Great Oration. The most overwhelming of Patrick Henry's great orations is that which tie pronounced before the convention svhlch met in St. John's church at i Richmond, March 23, 1775. Already the mutterings of war were so distinct that Henry, instead of concealing the facts, declared that war was even then an foot. "We must fight!" he said. "An appeal to arms and to the Hod of hosts is all that Is left us!" Curiously enough, even of this oration there is no authentic record. Certain sentences, certain stirring phrases, tvere remembered by many who were there, but the speech as we have it is almost surely a restoration by William Wirt, himself an eloquent and brilliant arator. He supplied the gaps in what ais informants repeated to him, piecing out their recollections with his awn vivid fancy. But the spirit of Henry (lames all through it, and to Henry may be safely ascribed such aurnlng sentences as these: "I have hut one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp )f experience. I know of no way of ludging the future but by the past." "Three millions of people armed in he holy 'cause of liberty and in such i country as that which we possess ire invincible by any force which our ?nemy can send against us." "Gentlemen may cry peace, peace, aut there is no peace!" "Is life so dear or peace so sweet as :o be purchased at the price of chains ind slavery? Forbid it Almighty God! ; know not what course others may ake, but. as for me, give me liberty >r give me death!" As in the case of all orators of the rery first rank, the physical impression made by Henry was as strong as he intellectual. 'mere exists a description of his appearance while deivering this last great speech?a deicription that came from o. who was ire^ent at the time. It tells how, vhen Henry rose and claimed the floor, here was an "unearthly fire burning n his eyes. He commenced somewhat lalmly, but his smothered excitement >egan more and more to play upon his eatures and thrill in the tones of his ;oicf. The tendons of his neck stood >ut white and rigid like whipcords, finally his pale face and glaring eyes jecame terrible to look upon." The vitness of the scene who gave this dvld picture said that he himself "felt sick with excitement." When the oraor had finished his speech "it seemed is if a word from him would have led o any wild explosion of violence. Men looked beside themselves."?Lynlon Orr in Munsey's.

AN ERA OF DEVELOPMENT. The Twentieth Century to Be Marked By Remarkable Events. The present population of the world is living in a wonderful age, says the Boston Herald. The history of the nineteenth century is full of events which caused astonishment, yet things of an equally remarkable nature appear destined to mark even the first 25 years of the 20tli century. A few wonderful achievements In this century are worthy of consideration. A few weeks ago the residents of London were gazing in admiration at l he movements of an aerial ship which floated gracefully over the thousands of buildings in that great metropolis, propelled at the rate of 25 miles an hour; but its voyage was limited to a total of about 52 miles. The aerial ship was constructed and owned by the government, and Londoners probably felt that in time of war they would be provided with enough of such air craft for the purposes of observing the forces of an enemy, as well as to drop explosives therefrom. Paris has been experimenting successfully for several years with similar airships, and the Frenchmen are far in advance of the Britishers in this class of experiments. And now the United States comes to the front with balloons that are making record flights throughout the west, soaring over the Great Lakes, and even venturing as far as Canadian territory. Flights of hundreds of miles in these American balloons are becoming common now by real sky pilots. Our war department officials are excusable for feeling highly elated over the remarkable success of these American balloon pilots, for It means that in time of war the United States will be up to date with any other power in this particular line. In the last century ballooning was looked upon as merely a fascinating and dangerous amusement. Now it is being utilized for very important purposes. Aerial navigation may be in its infancy, but its progress is destined to be so very rapid that the present generation will witness wonderful achievements in it. How many individuals of the last century would ha\e believed it possible for many thousands of words to be sent across the Atlantic Ocean by wireless telegraphy In the early years of this century? Yet this has been accomplished. In the electrical world the number of Inventions is unlimited, and the most distinguished electrician does not dare to prophesy any limit to them. In fact it is felt that this century will witness even more marvelous achievements through the aid of electricity than any yet known. Even Edison, in spite of his phenomenal success, is still so fascinated with the possibilities of new discoveries that he cannot retire permanently from the field. There is scarcely a leading industry in the land that has not experienced equipment in recent years. The list of extraordinary events and inventions during the first years of this century is a long one, but the slightest consideration of it will convince any one that he is living in a wonderful age. Fruit In Alaska. One does not think- of watermelons as being possible in Alaska, but the Fairbanks Times tells of some homegrown watermelons that were grown on the ranch of a Mr. P. J. Richert. Mr. Richert has two large hothouses, each 20 by 100 feet, besides many hotbeds. During the early part of the season the hothouses were given over to the growing of lettuce, beets, radishes and other vegetables. Then they were used to grow cucumbers, muskmelons, watermelons and other plants and flowers. From 25 to 50 pounds of tomatoes were marketed from them every day. Out in his fields, Mr. Richert had 10,000 cabbage plants growing, and from these he sold daily whatever the market needed. The strawberries grown on Mr. Richert's ranch did not do well last season, but the enterprising fruit grower is now engaged in clearing ten acres of dry, sandy soil, on which he hopes to raise both strawberries and potatoes. A movement is on foot to make an exhibit of the various kinds of fruit and vegetables raised at Fairbanks, an exhibit which may be carried about the country, to be seen by many people who thus may be convinced that Alaska is something more than a land of ice and snow. ttv' Asparagus is the oldest known plant used for food. ius rer Acre i nmercial fertilizers has '//? )ver and over again by d private comparative ady to demonstrate to ; I the surest way to "in- I r acre" is to use fjm -Carolina | ilizers M ormer Director of the Geor- ?
