Free Seats.
At a church in an Kuglish country
town an apod verger. to save the exertion
of continually marching up and
down the aisle to conduct persons to
their seats, used to take his stand in
the centre of the church and, when any
incomers appeared, beckon to them and
then conduct them to a seat.
The urchins of the neighborhood,
knowing his peculiarity, used to pop
their heads inside the church door and
mimic his action by beckoning to him.
Many times he tried to catch them,
and one Sunday morning nearly did so.
But one boy rushed away from the
church and ran into the arms of a policeman.
"What have you been up to?" demanded
the policeman.
Thought the boy, "I'm caugnt;' oui
he said "Oh. sir, there's a disturbance
at that church, and they have sent me
to fetch a policeman."
"Very good." said the officer; "I'll
step in and see about it."
So he opened the door at the west
end of the church, and. taking off his
helmet, entered.
The moment the verger saw him he
beckoned to him, and motioned him to
a seat next an old gentleman.
Immediately he was seated he touched
the old gentleman and said, "Come
quiet."
The old gentleman replied. "What do
you mean?"
Officer?You know what I mean, and
I don't want no chat. Come quiet, or
I shall have to take yer by force.
Old Gentleman?I really don't understand
you.
Officer?Look here, we don't want no
more disturbance; you have been kicking
up quite enough and I'm going to
have you out quick.
By this time the congregation were
looking at the pair and wondering what
was the matter, so the old gentleman
said, "Very well; I have not made any
disturbance, but to save any I will go
with you."
So together (to the wonderment of
the congregation) they marched up the
aisie.
When they had passed out of the
church the verger followed them, and
the policeman, turning to him. said:
"Now, then, you have to make your
charge."
"Charge?" said the verger. "There
ain't any charge; all the seats are
free!"?Tit-Bits.
His Neighbor's Cat.?A Cleveland
lawyer tells of a man living in a suburb
of that city whose sleep has been
disturbed nightly by the howling on
his own back fence of his neighbor's
cat. says Lippincott's. At last, in despair.
he consulted his lawyer.
"There sits that cat every night on
our fence." explained the unhappy man.
" 1 l- " - . ~ -1r.w/1 ..nil-la anrl vnwls I
HI1U lie J un is aim .iu.nu u..u ^ ?
Now, I don't want to have any trouble
with this neighbor, but the thing has
gone far enough, and I want you to
suggest a remedy."
The lawyer looked solemn and said
not a word.
"I am well within my rights if I
shoot the cat am I not?" asked the sufferer.
"I would hardly say that." replied the
legal light. "The cat does not belong
to you. as I understand it."
"No."
"And the fence does?"
"Yes."
"Then." concluded the lawyer, "I
think it safe to say that you have a
perfect right to tear down the fence."
Requested to Keep awake.?When
Governor Smith of Georgia was secretary
of the interior in Cleveland's
cabinet, he was once called home to
Atlanta on business. The duites incident
to his leaving had thoroughly
wearied the brawny, so he retired early
in his berth for a good night's rest.
Mr. Smith never does anything by
halves, and the sonorous cadences of
ever increasing volume which proceeded
from his apartment gave evidence)
that his utterances of the day did not
.greatly exceed in forcefulness those of
the night. But after about two hours
his tranquil slumber was disturbed by
the persistent nudging of the porter.
That official was asking, "Boss, is you
awake?"
"Of course. I am awake," Mr. Smith
replied. "What do you want?"
"Boss, I hope dat you will pardon me,
sah, but I was jest goin' to ask you to
be so kind as to stay awake for jest
about fifteen minutes 'tell de rest of
de passengers can git to sleep."?Lippincott's.
The One Hk Kept.?A young man
entered a hat store and asked to see
tlie latest styles in derbies. He was
evidently hard to please, for soon the
counter was covered with hats that he
had tried on and found wanting. At
last the salesman picked up a brown
derby, brushed it off on his sieve and
extended it admiringly.
"These are being very much worn
this season, sir," he said. "Won't you
try it on?"
The customer put the hat on and
surveyed himself critically in the mirror.
"You're sure it's in style?"
"The most fashionable thing we have
in the shop, sir. And it suits you to
perfection?if the fit's right."
"Yes, it fits very well. So you think
1 had better have it?"
"1 don't think you could do better."
"No, 1 don't think 1 could. So 1
guess 1 won't buy a new one, after all."
The salesman had been boosting the
customer's old hat. which had become
mixed among the many new ones.
? 'Putivi-i, r vitv?A I'lfiwinan
known to a Philadelphia Record reporter
credits a married college girl
with an original and practical idea.
Recently," the clergyman said, "I
christened her tirst baby. Now, babies
usually cry while they are being christened.
but this one was as quiet as a
lamb. Throughout the ceremony it
smiled up beautifully into my face.
"'.Madam," I said to the young mother
at the christening's end, 'I must
congratulate you on your little one's
behavior. I have christened more than
L'.'MM babies, but I never before christened
one that behaved so well as
yours.'
" "No wonder he behaved well,' the
young mother said, smiling demurely.
'His father and I. with a pail of water,
have been practicing christening on
hint for the last ten days.'"
A Slight Drop.?Gounod, who, as
many Americans know, had u keen
sense of fun, was once overwhelmed
by the enthusiasm of a young musicmad
English girl who had been presented
to him.
"Oh, I am lost for words to express
my admiration for the great
composer of Faust," she said. "Inspired
musician, genius, mighty master,
what shall I call you?"
Gounod interrupted her by patting
her gently on the head.
"Throw your arms round my neck,"
he gayly advised, "and call me your
little rabbit."?Youth's Companion.

Gastonia on business Wednesday
Mr. Benjamin T. Lineberger and Miss
Emma Cloninger drove over from
Dallas Wednesday afternoon and were
married by Rev. J. A. Hoyle at his
residence at 3 o'clock. They returned
the same afternoon to Dallas, where
they will make their home For
some time two firms at Stanley have
been missing goods from their stores,
and every effort has been made to
catch the thieves, but these efforts
have been unsuccessful until last Sunday
night, when Sheriff Shuford, having
obtained a clue, unearthed a
wholesale scheme of burglary which
had been carried on by some Dallas
negroes for some time. The chief offender.
who confessed to getting the
goods, is one John Williams, known as
"Big Bob." With the aid of several
confederates, among whom were Ned
Holland, Arthur Rhyne, Amos Rankin
and Arch Friday, he had been getting
into the store and hauling large quantities
of goods to Dallas, where he sold
it to various parties or disposed of it
in almost any way. even giving away
suits of clothes to his friends. Some
of the goods he had sold to a Mr.
Jarrett, who runs a store near the depot.
The goods were identified by the
owners. All those arrested were held
for trial before the next term of superior
court, Williams bond being $500
and the others being required to give
bonds of $100 each.
THE ENCHANTED MESA.
Story of Great Disaster Which Wiped
Out the Population.
The story of the Enchanted Mesa
was but a tradition when, in 1541, the
Spaniards first visited the pueblo of
Acoma, in what is now Valencia county.
New Mexico. Powerful tribes inhabited
the region. These tribes or
nations were constantly at war with
each other, which accounts for the fortified
character of the villages of the
natives. The Jueres. whose descendants
now occupy Acoma. held this region
and dwelt in small fortified towns,
the capital of which was Acoma. It
was not. however, the Acoma of today,
hut a city perched upon the top of the
great rock now called Mesa Encantada.
It was a magnificent city of the nation,
and there dwelt the great men of the
tribe, together with their families.
The rock then, as now. was unscalable,
save at the one point where a
narrow and precipitous trail led up the
dizzy height. While not the most convenient
dwelling nlace. for neither wa
tor nor vegetation was to ho found upon
the summit, it was safe from the
attacks of foes, one man at the top
of the trail could defend the city
against the warriors of the entire west.
One day. while a large number of the
inhabitants were at work in the fields
on the plain below, or attending to the
affairs of the tribe in the various
neighboring villages, something within
the rock, or in the earth beneath it.
awoke to life and motion. There was a
heaving, a squirming and a shivering
of the great rock. and. with a mighty
noise, it parted in twain and a portion
fell in fragments to the plain below.
Such persons as were carried down
in the debris were crushed to death. A
worse fate remained for those left prisoners
on the top of the mesa, for that
which fell carried away the narrow
trail, the only means of ascent and descent.
The stranded ones perished from
thirst and starvation. The present
Acoma family are the descendants of
disaster. Ethnologists who visited the
top of the rock some years ago found
unmistakable evidences that it had once
been the site of habitation. The story
of the disaster had. previously to that
time, been disci edited and considered,
hut an idle Indian legend. The discovery
of the ancient ruins, however,
seemed confirmatory of the tale and it
has since been credited.
CHANGING STYLES IN WEAPONS.
The Loaded Cane and the Derringer of
Fifty Years ago.
"It has always seemed a little curious
to me," said an ex-police official
who was better known a dozen years
ago than he is now. that the law forbidding
citizens to carry concealed
weapons has not been pronounced
unconstitutional. Doesn't the constitution
declare that a citizen has a
perfect right to bear arms?
"Passing over that question though,
did it ever occur to you to think how
many reputable citizens ignore them
and how the police seldom interfere
with a man for earylng a weapon unless
the man is wanted for some
other reason? You have thought of
that? Well, did you ever think how
the custom began and what curious
fashions there have been at different
times in the style and character of
the weapons most commonly carried?
"I should say. speaking: in a general
way, that American citizens in this
part of the country began to carry
concealed weapons as a habit just before
the beginning of the last half of
the last century, and that the habit
grew for something like twenty-five
years and after that became gradually
less prevalent, until now probably no
more than one man in every ten carries
a deadly weapon, whereas forty
years ago probably every third man
did so.
"Two things wholly unrelated to
each other happening about the same
time gave rise to the habit. Gold was
discovered in California in 1849, and
some persons succeeded in putting a
revolving pistol on the market just
when the eastern men who started
westward in the hope of picking up
the gold decided thai it would not do
for them to go out in Die wilderness
unarmed.
"Of course I don't forget the bowie
knife or the derringer?which was
the original bulldog pistol. It was
long before '49 that southerners especially.
seeing the merit of the knife
that Col. Bowie made famous, adopted
it, and even before that the ugly,
111 /-v Ki or Knrft niQtnl
L'UIIVCIIlClIt nine UVI V j/iwvw.
could be found in the vest pocket of
almost any southern gentleman. It
was looked upon as a decided step in
the progress of invention when these
derringers came to be made double
barreled. They discharged tremendously
heavy bullets with deadly accuracy
and were peculiarly effective
weapons at short range.
"But in those days there was a
wide difference between the north and
south, and though the carrying of concealed
weapons was almost universal
among southern gentlemen there
were few reputable men in the north
who ever went armed on ordinary occasions.
"Then came the emigration to the
gold fields and every man who went
thought he had to carry a knife and
a pistol or two. The old pepper box
| revolver was the latest thing in pistols
and was supposed to be the best
because you could shoot six times
with it before reloading, so every
mother's son of them bought a revolver.
It was, in fact, one of the poorest
weapons ever invented, being
clumsy and bulky, and unreliable,
heavy, badly balanced and inaccurate.
It was gross flattery to accuse one of
them of being a concealed weapon,
for if it was put in a pocket it made
a lump any one could see.
'Phr. men ?hn Unew what weanons
really were, used to say sneeringly that
the only way to kill a man with one
of these things was to throw it at
him, and the remark became a stock
joke, but thousands of men knew
nothing about weapons, and wanting
the best suddenly bought the worst,
because they were the newest, and so
the inventor, or at least the manufacturers,
got rich. Moreover the original
idea of the revolving pistol was
afterward elaborated into the wonderful
weapon of today that is carried
by thousands of people who are
not suspected of going armed.
"It was a dozen years after that before
the civil war began, and the habit
of going armed at all times, whether
is was necessary or not, was suddenly
stimulated, but in the interval
the custom had gained ground even
here in the east, and there were some
curious outgrowths from it.
"I suppose you would call the revolver
the national weapon today,
probably, but at that time, as I have
explained, the revolver was far from
being what it is now. and there was
even a prejudice against it. Many
men who wanted weapons were not
satisfied with the old fashioned single
or double barreled pistol or the bowie
knife, and they tried various things.
"It was quite a fad one time to early
a swordstick. The stick itself was
of course merely a scabbard hid. By
pressing a concealed spring the scab
bard was loosened and could be shaken
off, having: a naked blade from six
to thirty inches in length.
"The swordstick fashion did not
last long, though for a time it was
very prevalent. The authorities were
generally very severe in cases in
in which people were arrested for carrying
these particular weapons, and
there were a good many such arrests,
but I do not think it was because of
the reprobation of the courts that
people stopped carrying swordsticks.
I prefer to think that it was because
the American view of it was that a
weapon of this sort was one that only
a coward would use. Its chief value
lay in the surprise it gave the other
fellow.
"Still, as I said, there was a demand
for some kind of small arms
that could be carried conveniently by
the individual, and the revolver had
not yet arrived. So the next thing
that had a rMn was a loaded cane.
"1 don't mean the real gun disguised
as a walking stick. There were
some of those put on the market, and
a few were actually carried. They
were loaded with powder and ball and
you could lire them oft' without even
waiting to remove the ferrule first, if
you were in a hurry, nut they never
had any vogue.
"The loaded eane I mean was really
a .slingshot in another form. If
you can recall the time when vulcanized
India rubber was a novelty you
will probably remember among variious
articles made of hard rubber the
polished black walking stick. It was
quite fashionable for a time, being a
novelty, but it seems to he forgotten
now.
"You could make a cane out of
rubber alone of course, but it was
brittle, and so they used to make them
with steel rods inside for strength.
They were very flexible, and it was
not long before it was discovered that
if loaded heads were put on them
they made formidable weapons in the
hands of anybody who knew how to
use them.
"Of course these loaded sticks were
not in any sense of the word conceal
ed weapons, and there was no pretext
on which the police or the courts
could interfere with a man's carrying
one. T haye sometimes thought that
that might have heen one reason why
people didn't care to carry them, hut
although they had a short run they
are as much out of date now as the
sword cane or the still less common
umbrella with a dagger in the handle.
"It seems strange now, but it Is a
fact that more than a few reputable
American citizens carried these things
right hero in civilized communities
forty or fifty years ago, and carried
them habitlally. Probably the great
war and the return or multitudes of
.volunteer soldiers to civil life accounted
for it but I don't think the laws
against carrying concealed weapons
had much to do with the passing away
of the custom. Public opinion was
opposed to it and the Improvement of
the revolver was also an influence in
so far as it changed the character of
the weapons that were carried. As I
said, a great many more men carry
revolvers than is generally supposed,
but Americans as a rule don't carry
these old fashioned things nowadays
any more than they do the stilettoes
of the Italian or the razors of the darkies.
As a matter of fact the police
don't try to stamp out the custom ex
cept among the classes they fear and
distrust. Probably they could come
pretty near It if they should try. I
remember what a newspaper correspondent
told me once of his experience
in Memphis. Tenn., some twentyflve
years ago.
"It seems the town had been pretty
well stirred up over some particularly
harrowing tragedies and a stringent
law had been passed, under which
people who were caught with concealed
weapons were sent to jail for thirty
days or more, not fined, and this
law was actually enforced. He. the
correspondent, had a revolver in his
pocket, thinking it was only common
prudence to go armed while he traveled
down the Mississippi, but he put
it away in a hurry when he learned
from a friend that no influence would
save him from imprisonment if he
should be caught carrying it. He
would not believe the statement at
first, but on inquiring he found that
the mayor of another Tennessee city
was then serving time in the Memphis
jail for that very offence, though he
had been ignorant of the local law
when he offended and strenuous efforts
had been made in his behalf."?

AFTER TWENTY-NINE YEAno.
"For twenty-nine years I have been
at intervals a great sufferer from rheumatism,"
writes James Hyde, of Beebe.
ArU DuririE- that time I used ernl
Inns of various kinds of liniments and
oils, but got very little relief. The
attacks were so bad that I was often
confined to my bed helpless for weeks
and months at a time.
"Not long ago, while suffering from
a severe attack, a sample bottle of)
Sloan's Liniment was sent to me for
trial. My surprise was great when I
found that it gave me instant relief,
and I immediately ordered two large
bottles. I have used about a half of one
fifty-cents bottle, and feel so well that
I want everybody afflicted as I was to
know what Sloan's Liniment has done
for me, and I shall always have a feeling
of gratitude for the man who sent
me the sample bottle."
