tumorous Jlrparhurnt. A Straight and Narrow Path. Almost everybody agrees upon Judge Gray's eminence as a jurist, and, remembering his leadership of the anthracite coal strike arbitration board, his services in The Hague court, his membership on the high commission of Quebec, and his relation with the consummation of the treaty of Paris, nobody should doubt but that he knows everything about how to make peace on earth and something about how to make peace with Heaven. It was of the latter subject that he was speaking a few weeks ago when he said: "In my opinion it is not so much how a man was brought up that counts as how. having been brought up, he fl nally descends. There, for instance, was that good liver, old Col. Rumsey of Kentucky. The colonel was desperately wounded at the battle of Lookout Mountain and. after the engagement, asked that a clergyman be sent for. His orderly knew the officer's religious education, and so returned to the dying man's bedside considerably disturbed by the fact that he could discover no minister of the colonel's denomination. " 'Beg pardon, suh,' said the orderly, saluting, 'but I couldn't find a Presbyterian anywhere, an' I somewhat hesitated 'bout bringln' the only available man.' " 'Why, so, Tom?' the colonel demanded. " 'Because he was a 'Piscoaalian, sur.' "The dying bon vivant smiled wanly. " "Bring him along, Tom,' he gasped. 'Bring him right along. He ought to do pretty smart. It's true I was bawn and raised a Presbyterian, but 41 wVnar* T onmo tr\ men, juu sec, nmn * wmv ? all the things I've done, I'm afraid I've lived pretty much of an Episcopalian life.' "?Saturday Evening Post. The Other Way aboit.?Before trying to match the sample of silk the clerk asked: "Is this a piece of something you want or don't want?" "Something I want, of course," replied the customer. "You don't suppose, do you, that I would go to all this trouble for a thing I can't use?" "Some folks do," said the clerk, "I have met a number of them. The first woman I ever saw with that kind of a bee in her bonnet had a square inch of blue silk that she wanted me to match. The scrap of silk was so small that it was hard to make comparisons, but after hauling down half the blue bolts on the shelves and running to the door several times to test the color in broad daylight I found the exact shade. " 'How many yards do you want, madam?" I asked. " 'Oh,' said the woman, 'I don't want any. Almost any other shade will do. That particular shade is very unbecoming. I just wanted to make sure that I don't get it, that's all." The customer laughed. "What did you say?" she asked. "I'd rather not tell," said the clerk.? Philadelphia Ledger.

"He was not incapable of an oration, but his unsteady gait, his flushed face and disordered attire spoke ill of him. and the audience hissed and booed. "He held up his hand. They were silent. Then he laughed scornfully and said: " 'Ladies and gentlemen, when a statesman of my prominence consents to appear in such a little one-horse town as this he must be either drunk or crazy.

"Now, roared Conners, "yez are to worruk for me. and I want ivery man here to understand what's what. I kin lick any man in the gang." Nine hundred and ninety-nine swallowed the insult, but one huge, doublefisted warrior moved uneasily and. stepping from the line, he said: "You can't lick me. Jim Conners." "I can't, can't I?" bellowed Fingv. "No. ye can't." was the response. "Oh, well; thin go to the office and git your money," said Fingv. "I'll have no man in me gang that I can't lick."?Success.

He suffered a stroke Wednesday afternoon and died in a short time. The funeral will be tomorrow The court of general sesions is still in session, and the indications are that the entire week will be consumed with the business on hand.

A. Williams Mrs. Martha Gent, the aged widow of the late John Gent, who was a Mexican war veteran, died last Tuesday at the home of her son, Mr. Joseph Gent, in the New Cut section. She was about 80 years of age and had been in feeble health for some time. She was a consistent member of the Methodist church. She is survived by the following sons: Messrs. Joseph, Jesse, West and Benjamin Gent, all of this county. The remains of Mrs. Gent were buried at Hopewell, Wednesday... .Mr. S. L. McManus of Tradesville, Is entitled to the prize for rat killing in this county. Some time ago, ex-Sheriff L. M. Clyburn of Dixie, slayed 200 rodents in his barn, and that was thought to be a record, but Mr. McManus now has that record skinned a mile. Having previously killed about 300 rats, Mr. McManus got tired of having all the fun to himself, so one day this week he Invited some of his neighbors to come over and join in the sport. The party killed altogether over 440 rats, and it wasn't a good day for rats either Surveyors Dwight. Wilson and Colcock, who were appointed by the governor to survey the line between Lancaster and Kershaw counties, began their work Tuesday morning at Peay's ferry, on the Catawba river. They were unable to find the old corner at the ferry. Running a line about a half mile up the river, the surveyors then struck out in the direction of Russel Place, which point was probably reached day before yesterday. It will most likely be the latter part of next week before Kershaw. the disputed territory, is reached. It is thought that great difficulty win ne experienceu in locating toe turner near Bethel church, south of Hanging Rock creek, on the old stage road leading from Lancaster to Camden. If that corner can be found, it is said , that there will be no trouble in running the line, which is a straight one, from that point to Lynches river While presiding at the last term of court here. Judge Gage, in his charge to , the grand jury, said that an examination of the criminal dockets by him revealed the fact that forty-six homicide cases had been tried In Lancaster in the past ten years, and that a similar investigation made at the previous Winnshoro court showed a record of forty-five of such trials for Fairfield county in the same length of time. He also stated that when he held the Chester and York courts he hoped to find better records in those counties. His honor was doomed to disappointment however. In his charge this week to the grand jury in Chester, his home town. Judge Gage is credited with saying that statistics show "that for ten years manslaughter has steadily increased in Chester county, from four murders in 1898 to nine In 1907, making a total of fifty in the past decade." Lancaster's record is bad enough but there are others Two colored men. John Gladney of White Oak. and another whose name we have been unable to learn, were drowned at Great Falls Monday afternoon, while rafting logs from Bowden Island to the lower Ham which is now in course of con struction by the Southern Power company. The river being very high at the time, rendering other work impracticable, a crowd of men were put to rafting logs down the river to the saw mill. When the raft reached a point opposite where Roekv creek empties into tiie river, the locality being known as "Hazards," the logs were torn apart, precipitating the rafting crew into the raging waters. Twenty-three of the men were rescued with great difficulty, while two members of the crew were drowned, as stated. The bodies of the 1 unfortunate men have not yet been found. GASTON. Gastonia Gazette, July 10: Reports 1 from the wheat crop in the upper section of Gaston, which is the wheat- ^ growing part of the county, are to the effect that the crop this season was , extra good. Threshing has been in full blast some days and is about com- , pleted... .The dry goods firm of Drum, Robinson & Jones, doing business next door to the Gazette office, closed their d<x)rs Wednesday on account of financial embarrassment and have turned their sto^k over to their creditors. The keys were turned over to Attorney G. W. Wilson who has charge of the bus iness pending action on tne pari 01 the creditors. The liabilities are about ' $3,200 with about $5,000 assets. These gentlemen conducted a successful general merchandise business for a year or more at the Arlington mill and moved down town the first of the year Saturday. August 15, will be a memorable day with the members of the Masonic order in Gaston county, as on that date it Is expected that practically all of the four hundred members in the county will bring their families and friends to High Shoals where an oldtime basket picnic will be held. All of the lodges of the county have already signified their willingness and intention to join in this celebration which assures a large attendance and a successful occasion from every standpoint. Mr. A. L. Bulwinkle of Dallas, is master of ceremonies and has in charge the programme which is now in course of preparation. It is expected that there will be present one or more prominent officials of the order in the state who will deliver addresses and amusements in various forms will be supplied for the entertainment of all. A LEGEND. A Very Romantic Story of Love's Waterloo. The massive door has swung behind us, the echo of its closing shudders through the silent church and dies away, and leaves no sound to bear us company save the slow, insist"~t ticking of the belfry clock. The long June day is drawing near its close, the nave is still light, but the chancel is already shadowy and dark; and it is there, among the swiftly gathering gloom, that, led by a story told us at the rector's luncheon table, we set ourselves to seek the legend's central point. On the north side of the church, behind the chancel with its tiny choir stalls, we come upon a narrow door hidden among the towering organ pipes. It opens on a winding flight of wooden stairs, still covered by a faded crimson carpet, moth eaten and trodden into many a hole. The steps are steep and narrow, and one wonders somewhat that long generations of the squire's race should have cared to mount them so laboriously week after week. But once within the small apartment at the top one feels perhaps less surprise; for here is certainly a sense of dignity and of withdrawal from the vulgar herd, to an extent unusual even in the seclusion of a "faculty pew." The little room is lighted by a window of its own; below this is a cushioned form for the house servant's use. In the room's centre stands a massive oaken table upon which might rest my lady's sunshade and the squire's gold topped stick. And lastly, in the foremost oil ovo rnncroH thrpp velvet cushioned elbow chairs. The occupants of these commanded what perchance they thought the only view tit for their august eyes to rest upon?the worshipers in a precisely similar pew upon the south side of the choir: and even the sight of these might be shut off by drawing a curtain, the rings of which still cluster on a long brass rod. The parson turned his back upon them as he preached, and little of the sermon could have come their way; while plebeian congregations in the nave could catch but fleeting glimpses of aristocratic profiles high above their heads. And yet the legend we have heard today as lingering still about the pew in which we stand?though somewhat threadbare, like the carpets and the faded cushions of the chairs?shows that at least fate granted them no respite from the woes of common men. Just over ninety years ago these pews were held by two families linked close by friendly intercourse and neighboring estates. Upon the faded velvet of these elbow chairs sat week by week the squire and my lady and their only son, while in the fellow pew across the choir worshipped with his motherless daughter an elderly man?the squire's equal as to lineage, though of impoverished purse. The young folk fell in love, as young folk will. Their elders mutually approved the match, and in due course?early in 1815? the wedding day was fixed for June. The lover was a soldier, it is true, but was not Napoleon, that disturber of the peace of nations, safe in Elba? Then like a thunderbolt from a blue sky there came the news of his escape, the call to arms, the hurrid partings. And as this couple said their sad farewells the girl sobbed out the fear that never again would she see her lover in his wonted seat. He, moved by the boastful pride of youth and hope, swore to sit there before three months had gone. And April came and went, and May, and hajf of June, until the 18th of the month had dawned. There was no morning service here, for the rector was a pluralist and served another church six miles away. But 3 o'clock heard the bells pealing and saw the congregation in the seats, the squire and his lady with the empty chair beside them, and across the choir the young girl's drawn and anxious i act*. The Psalms and (he Magnificat were duly said, and as the Nunc Dimittis came in turn there rose a cry that hushed the alternating voices of the 1 startled rector and his clerk. The girl stood for a moment with white face and horror stricken eyes and unprais- ( ed hand that pointed toward the empty chair, then dropped in a dead faint upon the floor. And at that instant on I a Belgian battlefield an officer beside a . square of British infantry fell forward on his face and moved no more. The squire's lineage has died out I long since: the pew is desolate, though | still untouched. Of those who would . have told the tale with due credulity not one remains?the ancient sexton and the son to whom he handed on his < work are gone. Can it perhaps be true I that at the moment of the lover's 1 death such strong desire arose within I his heart to see again, I "The Norman march, the chancel I softly dark, < The brasses black and red:" ' as shadowed forth his unsubstantial < form for one brief instant in its wont- ' ed place?

Tick oiAn panied by Elbrldge D. Rand, went { down the west coast in a schooner and \ landed at a village not far from Mag- 8 dalena bay. They had three gruldes and * packers, a pack train of eight mules " and three more animals on which they rode. The Reeds gradually worked their " way ISO miles inland, reaching a region seldom invaded by white sportsmen. The scarcity of water was a j very serious matter. It had sometimes to be packed for thirty miles and was seldom of good quality. The water 1 holes when found proved to be more or ( less contaminated. The country Is as ) wild and rocky as parts of Wyoming, r Before the trip was ended nearly all I the footwear was torn to pieces. It \ was almost impossible to keep shoes 1 on the mules. \ Unquestionably the success of the Reeds on the recent trip for big horn sheep was due to the fact that Mr. Reed | has been a close student of sheep In ^ every range from northern Alaska to the point furthest south where they are to be found. The big horn sheep, like the antelope, ( is growing very rare, and even in low- 1 er California It taxes the Ingenuity of 1 a hunter to get a shot at one. Mr. 1 Reed was anxious to secure specimens ( of all ages for preservation in some ' museum. Every animal shot was care- ' fully measured, samples of shrubs or other food on which it may have been 1 feeding gathered, and a photograph ( taken. For the establishment of a 1 museum of natural history in California Mr. Reed has contributed money as well as his personal efforts, and his hope will probably be realized In the near future. Mrs. Reed has often taken her life in her hands. She can skin and pre serve big bame like a professional, knows woodcraft thoroughly and is a dead shot with the rifle. Fatigue seems unknown to her. She and her husband ( are in perfect harmony in their love of the wilds. When in the field she wears a short khaki skirt, flannel shirt, khaki hat and elkskin shoes and leggings. In Alaska she carried a .405 Winchester and in the south a .351 Remington, the weapon that shoots 1 through steel. J Mrs. Reed is the only white woman who has ever had the courage to penetrate the wilderness of lower California. She bagged two sheep, one fine ewe and a ram. She also did her j own skinning, and the old Indian guide did a war dance when he saw her skill with the hunting knife. The ewe killed had a lamb and this the huntress decided to raise. The killing of a famous ram was one of the exciting incidents of the trip. Mr. Reed had heard stories of the men- ( ster, and wished eagerly for a shot. For years big game hunters had chased it in vain. Some had even come over from England, lured by romantic tales of the gigantic sheep, but until Mr. I Reed's arrival it had escaped leaden pills. The monarch of the peninsula led a solitary life, keeping apart from the band and generally taking up a position on some almost inaccessible crag-, where he could see approaching enemies. The Reeds followed the trail eagerly, but it was a week or more before their opportunity came. Near sundown the i big ram was seen on a distant crag, I silhouetted against the glowing skies. 1 He had already seen the hunting party 1 and evidently was curious about the ? mules. i Leaving his companions, Mr. Reed began crawling on his hands and knees toward the animal, and when within seventy-five yards fired straight and . true for the sheep's shoulder. The horns measure 17 3-4 inches at the base.?Los Antreles Times. t THE COSSACKS. The Pampered Mercenaries of the Most High. j It was the Cossacks who put clown 1 the resistence to the Persian shah's j coup d'etat the other day. and a Cos- j sack general has been appointed by i him governor of Teheran, the capital city. It was the Cossacks, too, who ' stamped out the sporadic army revolts in Russia last year and the year j before, and prevented the risings in a i few thousand villages scattered over 1 the land from spreading further and ? resulting, as in France in 1789, in the a driving of the last landlord from the country. The Cossacks are a great and characteristic institution of Russia, dating from the close of the middle ages. They were at the height of their power and independent organi- ^ zation about the close of the sixteenth century, when they even had their seat of government, which was democratic, with a hetman, or ataman, at its head. The Don Cossacks are the leading body among them, and their 1 principal homes are the steppes of the Don and Ciscaucasia. It was the Don Cossacks who joined in the rebellion against Catherine II., and were punished by being deprived of their liberties and their democratic institutions, j The Ukraine Cossacks (or Cossacks of the Border land) were organized by the king of Poland in the latter half of ^ the sixteenth century as a buffer be- t tween Turks and the southeastern l boundaries of his realm. It is these 1 southern Cossacks who were probably drawn upon for the putting down of the Persian patriots. Their historic distinction was their joining Charles _ XII, under Mazeppa against Peter the Great, whose victory at Poltava sealed their fate. The Cossacks have always maintained, in whatever latitude, the distinctive peculiarities of the race, mixed, though it is, with Russian, Polish and Tartar, the Russian peasant strain predominating. Their prowess has not always been confined to land v incursions, as at one period they en- y gaged in naval expeditions against the p rurks in Asia Minor. a The modern autocracy of Russie understands the value of such a semibarbarous horde and carefully culti- * rates and coddles it from generation to generation. The Cossacks are. in fact, hereditary soldiers, the best of them, the sons of paid lighters for a lozen or more generations. The Russian government has organized eleven ?orps of them in encampments, stretching from north to south and from east to west of their vast empire, rheir military training begins In boyhood and compulsory service at 17. Field service begins at 20 and continjes for twenty-live years. Each corps receives an allowance of land from he czar, from the revenue of which It lothes and equips the Cossacks with heir uniform of dark green and their lortable arsenal of arms, including a ong lance. There are also fifteen bateries of Cossack field artillery. The ,'ossacks now number nearly 2,000,00 people, with the head of the lm erial family their hetman, and the ighting force, some part of which is ctually .fighting somewhere all the Ime, amounts to fully 500,000 men. t is an essential part of Russia's medaevalism?this mediaeval horde of Icensed soldiers of fortune, literally Iving on the country. The revolutionists have partially denoralized the regular army, but they nake no attempt to inspire such born ind trained semi-savages, the special >ets o' despotism, with devotion to the >eople. It is enough to remember that he Cossacks' privileges would vanish vith the institution of a people's army ind a more democratic government.? 3oston Transcript.
