Indirect Communication.
After ii bitter family quarrel the
husband had declared that he wouldn't
speak to hts better half a Rain in five
years. As usual, she went him a few
better and retorted that it would be
a Rood ten years before he would hear
her gentle voice again. A few days later
the wife called up her brother on
the telephone and the following conversation
took place:
"Hello! Is that you, John?"
"Yes. What Is it. Sis?"
"You know. John, that Dick and I
have quarreled?"
"What! again?"
"Yes, and it's all his fault."
"Oh. certainly! What's the trouble
this time?"
"Why. he got angry just because he
received a bill for a fifty-dollar hat I
ordered."
"I don't bl?That is, the wretcn:
"Isn't he? We are not going to speak
to each other again for years and
years."
"Bosh! Slap him on the back and
call him old sport and make it up. You
folks can't go along that way."
"We managed all right until the hired
girl left last night, but now there is no
one to deliver our messages to each
other."
"Gee! it must be tough to have to
call in one of the neighbors to ask your
husband for carfare to go shopping."
"Oh, it's not as bad as that. He sees
that I have plenty of money without
asking for it. Now. John, I want you
to give Dick a message from me."
"Sure! I'll come up tonight and
spank both of you for acting so childish."
"No. the message can't wait that
long. I want you to phone him immediately
after I leave the instrument.
I'll hurry upstairs so he will have to
answer it."
"All right. Sis. Where is he now?"
"He's trying to cook himself an egg.
You know the girl left."
"Poor dev?I mean, the fool! Well,
what shall I tell him?"
"Tell him. John, that there is a can
of sardines in the pantry and that I
will make the coffee just as soon as he
trots out of the kltcnen. ?jwm<\
Misdirected Revenge.
A hotel proprietor in Kansas City
once told of an amusing incident connected
with the stay at his house of a
rural politician of Missouri.
The politician had come to the hotel
for but one day, and he had taken his
dinner elsewhere with a friend. When,
on coming: to pay his bill, he found
himself charged with a day's board,
dinner and all. he protested vigorously.
It was explained to him that the American
plan was based strictly on time,
and that if he chose to eat elsewhere it
was his own lookout. The man. however.
refused to be pacified, and paid
the bill under protest. Then, to every
one's surprise, he asked if dinner were
"still on." T'pon being informed that
it lasted until 9 o'clock in the evening,
he exclaimed:
"I've eaten one dinner, but I'm going
to get my money's worth out of this
house, if I suffer all the torments of
dyspepsia."
He then rushed into one of the dining
rooms, seized a bill of fare, and ordered
everything he could think of. When he
finally reached his limit, the waiter
handed him a check for $8.3.r>.
"What's that for " he demanded.
"Your dinner, sir."
"But I have already paid my dinner
in my bill," protested the unfortunate
man. "I am staying: here on the American
plan."
"Then you should have gone into the
other dining room," said the waiter.
"This is the European plan cafe."?

A Wise Lad.
A Pittsburg teacher has a 7-year-old
pupil whose mind is very fertile in invention.
Seeing an expression of pain on his
face as he raised his hand, she asked.
"What is it, Jamie?"
"I have such a bad headache I think
1 must go home," was the reply.
Putting her hand on his head, and
finding it quite cool, she said. "I think
it can't ache much. Jamie. You would
better not go now."
Jamie went back to his work, but
soon his hand was raised again, and inquiry
developed the fact that his tooth
ached so severely that he felt he could
not remain a moment longer.
The teacher looked at his teeth, and
finding them in remarkably fine conditions
once more assured him that the
pain was only imaginary, and returned
to her class.
She had just become absorbed in the
lesson when a wail from Jamie's seat
caused her to go to him again, and with
impatience she said. "Well. Jamie, what
can it be this time?"
With tears in his eyes, and raining
down his cheeks, Jamie answered, "It's
stomach-ache, and that's so far down
you can't see it."
Aerially Experienced.?Father Collins.
the well loved priest of St. Agnes
parish, delights in a joke, especially if
it be on himself. He tells with many
a chuckle of an argument of several
sailors that he overheard in the aviary
in Golden Gate Park. They were debating
as to the family connections of
a certain bird. One said that it was a
skylark and the others insisted that it
was not. Finally the first sailor walked
over to Father Collins and asked his

opinion. minor i oums nuu iiuu mc
bird undoubtedly was ;i skylark. The
sailor went hack to his companions,
elated over his triumph.
"Didn't I tell you so'."' he said. "The
holy father says it's a skylark."
"Maybe." said one of the others, not
yet ready to yield, "lie doesn't knowany
more about it that we do."
"The (leuce he doesn't!" exclaimed
the first. "Ain't he a sky pilot?"?San

Sue Knew.?A physician in a town
not far from Philadelphia who lias
some practice among the colored population
in the vicinity, was once awakened
in the middle of the night by a
frantic ring at his bell. Putting his
head out of the window, he inquired,
"Who's there?"
"It's me. doctah. It's Dinah."
"Dinah! What do you want?"
"Ef yer please, sah, I wants yer ter

GASTON.
Gastonia Gazette, February 11: Main
street in the business section of town
presented a scene of wreckage this
morning. Telephone and light poles were
strewn across it at frequent intervals
and it was criss-crossed with a perfect
network of wires, rendering passage
along the street in many places impossible
except to pedestrians. The big
pole at the corner of Main and Marietta
streets, which holds all the wires going
into the offices of the Piedmont Telephone
and Telegraph company, was
broken just below the wires and hung
suspended over the sidewalks. Every phone
wire was down and no connection
can be had with any points either
in town or out. Manager Rabington
had a force of hands out early and work
is being pushed but it will probably be
several days before communication can
be restored. The light system also suffered
though not so heavily as the
phone system. The lights went out at
some hour last night and are still out.
The power lines are also down. The
Gaston Iron works. Yeager's and other
establishments in town dependent on
the Spencer Mountain plant for power
are unable to turn a wheel today. The
Gazette is gotten out under difficulties
as it is dependent on the same source
for power to run its linotype machine
and presses. Today's paper is set largely
bv hand and run off the press by
hand, which accounts for the small
amount of reading matter. This is the
worst sleet and ice storm the town has
experienced for a long time and the
damage done is heavy Perhaps the
most sensational episode Uastonia nas
had in a long time came to light Saturday
morning when a warrant was issued
for Mrs. L. T. Strickland, charging
her with kidnapping little L.ucile
Glenn, daughter of Mr. Perry Glenn.
Friday afternoon. This warrant, however.
was changed to simple assault.
No arrests were made and the case was
finally compromised Saturday night
when Mrs. Strickland turned the child
over to Sheriff T. K. Shuford after
having kept it at her home for about
twenty-four hours. Sheriff Shuford
turned the child over to its father, Mr.
Perry Glenn. It is learned, from a reliable
source, that habeas corpus proceedings.
which were instituted some
time ago by Mrs. 1.. A. States, for possession
of the child half of the time,
will be pushed and a hearing probably
had at an early date. Rack of the bare
facts as presented above there is the
story of a mother's love and a longing
to see her child from which she had
been separated for nearly a year. About
a year ago Mr. Perry Glenn was granted
a divorce in Mecklenburg superior
court, from his wife, who is now Mrs.
Rate Young, having since married a
Mr. Young of Charlotte. The decree of
divorce did not make any disposition
of the child, little l.ucile Glenn, aged
about 12 years. It is understood, however.
that Mr. Glenn entered into a
written agreement with Mrs. L A.
States of Gastonia. sister of Mrs. Young
by the terms of which Mrs. States was
to have possession of the child half of
the time and Mr. Glenn half. The
father, however, it is said, has not kept
tho agreement and on this ground the
habeas corpus proceedings will be
pushed. Thursday Mrs. Young came I
to Gastonia and on Friday went to the (
home of her sister. Mrs. L. T. Strickland,
on Main street, in ibe afternoon
the child, in company with its grandmother,
Mr. Glenn's mother, came '
down the street. Mrs. Strickland, it is
alleged, went out and took the child,
bringing it in the bouse. Following this
a warrant was issued for Mrs. Strickland
at the instance of the child's fath- '
er and the subsequent events were as
chronicled above. Mr. Young joined '
his wife here Sunday and the two returned
to Charlotte Sunday afternoon. '
In talking with the Gazette man Sunday
afternoon regarding the episode
Mr. Young stated that his wife nor
Mrs. Strickland had any intention '
whatever of detaining the child except
for a short time, the sole object being
that the mother might see and talk
with her child from which she had been ?
separated so long. Mr. Young also
stated that Mrs. States would push the
habeas corpus proceedings alread instituted
to gain possession of the child
half the time. The central figure of
this sensational occurrence, little Lucile
Glenn, is a pretty and attractive child
of 12 or 14 years.

Attacked by Natives They Kill 125?
Lost Five Porters?No Whites Injured.
According to a statement made by
the Washington Times a letter has
been received in this city from Arthur
F. Smith of the United States geological
survey, who is with an exploration
party in the Congo Free State.
He says under date of Lusambo. Congo
Free State. October 24:
"We knew that the concession for
about one hundred and eighty miles
directly south of Luebo would be practically
impassable unless we had unlimited
soldiers and arms so we decided
to enter some eighty miles south
of Luinabourg. at Kamsella. Syd Pere
Dale (one of the Catholic missionaries
whom we picked up at Duinabourg
and who has had fifteen years' experience
in the Congo) and Lieut. Empertoria.
with twenty-five soldiers, attempted
to enter the concession at
Kamsella and got five miles in when
they were attacked by natives, most of
whom had flintlocks.
"They fought all the day; then the
next day Syd and the gang started to
beat back a retreat to home and mother,
as they did not have sufficient arms
or soldiers. The natives still kept at
them that day and the one following,
and they had most violent exercise.
"In the three days battle of 'Ballat
Run' Gen. Ball and his band killed
about 125 niggers and lost only five
porters, several more niggers being j
wounded. Fortunately none of the whites
were wounded In the least. While
it took eight days to go from Luinabourg
to Kumsella the return trip was
made in three days.
' The country from Kumsella to Dilolon
has never been explored, and as
the natives are very fond of white
meat, are all armed with guns got from
the Portuguese frontier, and are not a
bit nice, Mohun decided that we would
work a portion of the concession that
reaches the shore of Lake Tanganyika,
between latitudes 4 and 5 deg. south.
It's 500 or 600 miles from Louinabourg.
Ball and I are hiking straight through
ahead of the rest.
"Last Sunday night we stopped at a .
village where the chief was very un- I
friendly. He threatened to cut our
throats, so we slept in our clothes with ]
six guns in reach."

For SpRctAL Stenographers.?The
following bill, introduced in the senate
by Senator Hough, will supply a deficiency
in the present law, there being
no provision now for the appointment
of special court stenographers even in
case of the illness of the regular
stenographer:
"Be it enacted by the general assembly
of the state of South Carolina:
"Section 1. That the circuit judges
of this state are hereby authorized to
appoint a special court stenographer to
act in the place and stead of the regular
court stenographer in case of his
sickness, absence or inability to act at
any term or part of a term of either
the court of common pleas or general
sessions; and such stenographer, when
so appointed, shall receive not more
than the sum of $7.50 per day for each
day he may be in attendance upon said
court. It shall be the duty of the presiding
judge to certify the number of
days any such special stenographer
may be engaged in the courts as such:
upon this certificate the comptroller
general shall draw his warrant upon
the state treasurer for the amount due *
said stenographer for his services, and ?
the said state treasurer is authorized to
pay the same. Provided, That where
the appointment herein provided for is
made for any other cause than sickness.
the compensation of the special
stenographer herein provided tor snan
be deducted from the salary of the circuit
stenographer.
Section 2. This act shall take effect
upon its approval by the governor."
? Orangeburg special of February 15,
to the News and Courier: With a viewto
obtaining an idea as to the length of
time required for a bale of cotton to be
manufactured after leaving the gin and
also to get a line on the abundant supply.
which is claimed by the mills to
exist. Mr. O. F. Carson of Fort Motte,
in this county, worked a little scheme
which proved finite interesting. Mr.
Carson ginned a bale of cotton at Fort
Motte on October 15 last, and sold it
the same day. In the center of the bale
he put a slip of paper bearing the request
that whoever should open the
bale would kindly date the slip and return
to him. On last Monday the slip
was hoard from in the shape of a letter
from a cotton manufacturing firm
in North Germany. "G. Timmerinan
and Weimer, Rheine 1 Weist." This
letter was dated January 1<>. and stated
that the bale had been opened that day
and was then being: manufactured into
cloth. Only three months elapsed between
the time the bale was grinned until
it was converted into a finished product.
which would indicate that the
foreign mills at least are not overstocked
with cotton, nor is it probable that
the mills in this country are. although
this argument is advanced to induce
the farmers to sell their cotton at
smaller figures than conditions warrant.
Xn Lake Morat, in Switzerland, turns
red every two or three years, owing to
the presence of a peculiar aquatic
plant.
SHELTER FOR QUAIL.
Missouri Farmer's Plan of Growing Sugar
Cane to Stand During the Winter.
William Iv McCullcy of Macon county
thinks lie has solved the problem of
preserving quail. He owns quite a
large farm and he discovered that
riuall were becoming more and more
scarce each year. Then he set about
studying the cause and came to the
conclusion that it was lack of shelter.
Since then he has every spring planted
sugar cane along the side of the hollows
of his farm and permits the same
to stand during the winter. It affords
the quail not only food but shelter of
the kind they like. Other farmers in
Roone. Callaway and several counties
>f the state have adopted Mr. McCul
ley s pian, ami nicy in mis. u is just
what was needed.

whore they cannot find shelter. In
many of the hest counties there is very
little natural shelter left, as every foot
of available ground Is under cultivation.
In such localities it has been
observed that the quail have nearly all
left, and it seems pretty well settled
that they will never return unless artificial
shelter is provided for them.
Sugar cane, when thickly planted, furnishes
just what these birds seem to
want. They are very fond of the seed,
and as the season advances the cane
stalks fall down and provide a thick
mass in which the quail can hide from
their natural enemies, hawks and owls,
land also affords a nesting place in the
spring and summer.?Kansas City

It Is a Terror.
The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
company is a terror to the agents of
all other companies when it comes to a
show down. They know that it can and
does guarantee policy holders more
than any other company for their
money, and they know that it can and
will do all that it guarantees. They
know that it can do it because it has
always been economically and conservatively
managed and is now, and they
know that it has always treated all its
policy holders right solf'y because it
was right that it should. They know
that the man who wants life insurance
will insure in the Mutual Beneht nine
teen times out of twenty if they take
the trouble to look before they leap. I
will be pleased to show you wherein it
is superior to all others if you will let
me. It is for our mutual benefit that
you should ask to be shown.
