A Suggested Compromise.
At a convivial party, recently, a gentleman
who had returned from a
lengthened tour in the east was relating
some of the wonderful things he
had seen on his travels.
The yarns he spun were decidedly
"steep," but the guests politely accepted
his statements as true.
Encouraged by the reception accorded
to his tallest stories, he ventured to
state that he had seen at the foot of
the Himalayas a tiger forty feet long
from the tip of the nose to the tip of
the tail. This was too much, and everybody
kept silence, until a gentleman
from Oban dryly remarked:
"Oh. yes, the words o* Nature are
very wonderful and very large whatever.
Just last week I saw a skate
brought ashore at Oban which covered
a quarter of an acre of ground!"
Nobody spoke, and amid the silence
the eastern traveler left the room. The
host, perceiving that something was
amiss, rose and followed him.
"Is there anything wrong?" he asked.
"I have been insulted," said the traveler.
"That Scotch gentleman has dealt
a blow at my veracity, and I cannot
return until he apologizes."
Anxious that harmony should prevail
among his guests, the host returned
to the room and, explaining matters
to the company, asked the Highlander
to make an apology, if merely for
form's sake.
"Well," said he, "I'll no' just apologize;
but tell him to come back and
take a few feet off the teegur, and
we'll see what can be done wi* the
skate."?Tit-Bits.
Duly Warned.
A tourist while sojourning at a rising
Scottish seaside rtsort was one
morning almost drowned through rushing
into the sea to recover his hat that
had been blown off by a gale of wind.
He was, howeVer, gallantly rescued by
a passerby; but. to his astonishment,
he was seized by a constable as he was
being dragged ashore and conveyed to
the police station, where he was
charged with disregarding a by-law
which enacted that any one found in
the water after 8 a. m., should be
prosecuted as the law directs.
The presiding bailie animadverted
severely on the heinousness of such a
flagrant breach of the by-law, remarking:
"Eh. man' an' so ye are doin' all ye
can to drive awa' trade and frighten
awa' sightseers from the toon. It's a
shame, after we ha'e spent so much
money to mak' the toon attractive. I
i?~ ^ Tvaova nav a
licit? tt limn* vw ?
heavy fine for yer thoughtless conduct."
"But. bailie." pleaded the rescued
one. "I"?
"Silence!" roared that functionary
"Silence! Ye cam' here an get droon'd;
that gi'es the toon a bad name, and
casts a gloom over everything, frightens
awa' visitors and upsets all our
arrangements for the entire season.
Now awa' the noon, and remember ye
maun be carefu' for the future."?Dundeo
Advertiser.
The Bent of Inclination.?One of
our exchanges tells of an old German
who had a boy of whom he was very
proud, and decided to find out the
trend of his mind. He adopted a novel
method by which to test him. He
slipped into the boy's room one morning
and placed on his table a bottle of
whisky, a Bible and a silver dollar.
"Now," said he. "when dot boy comes
in if he takes dot dollar he's going to
be beeznis man; if he takes dot Bible
he's going to be a preacher: if he takes
dot whisky he's no good, and going to
be a drunkard." Then he hid behind
- J ...ui.u v.:.. 1,1
ine uoor iu sw which ins wu >< uuiu
choose. In came the boy whistling.
He ran up to the table, picked up the
Bible and put it under his arm. then
snatched up the bottle, took two or
three drinks, picked up the dollar and
put it in his pocket, and went out
smacking his lips. The Dutchman
poked his head out from behind the
door and exclaimed: "Mein Got, he is
going to be a politican."
Hp. Told the Lawyer.?Lawyer s.
is well known for his uncomely habits.
He cuts his hair about four times a
year and the rest of the time looks decidedly
ragged about the ears. He was
making a witness describe a barn
which figured in his last case.
"How long had the barn been
built?"
"Oh. I don't know?about a year
mebby, about nine months p'r'aps."
"But just how long? Tell the jury
how long it had been built."
"Well, I don't know exactly?quite
awhile."
"Now, Mr. B., you pass for an intelligent
farmer, and yet you can't tell
me how old this barn is. and you have
lived on the next farm for ten years.
Can you tell me how old your own
Darn is.' come, now, ien u? now uiu
your own house is, if you think you
know."
Quick as lightning the old farmer
replied:
"You want to know how old my
house is, do ye? Well, it's just about
as old as you be. and the roof needs
seeing to about as bad."
In the roar that followed the witness
stepped down and Lawyer S.
didn't call him back.?London Globe.
Only the "Effects."?On one of
the western rivers some years ago, the
steamboat F. X. Thompson ran on a
snag and was sunk. It settled in the
water in such a way that only the
initials of the name painted on the
side of the boat showed above the surface.
The wreck was regarded with
much interest by the passengers on the
next boat that went up the river. One
of them, more curious than the others,
hunted up the captain.
"Captain." he asked, "do you know
the name of that steamboat?"
"Yes, sir," answered that officer,
"That's what is left of the F. X.
Thompson."
"What happened to her?"
"She seems to have sunk."
"But what do you suppose was the
cause of her sinking?"
"The cause?" said the captain. "I
don't know, sir. All we can see is the
F. X."
Hardly Appropriate. ? A great,
big. husky, good-natural curb broker,
who only recently earned fame on the
f college gridiron, was very much perturbed
the other day over a daintily
enveloped note fresh from a New York
girl wintering at one of the Florida resorts.
He showed the missive to one
of his friends and asked him if he understood
it. The latter read the letter
aloud: "Thanks for your thoughtful
present, but did you ever hear why
Satan never used his?"
"What did you send the girl?" asked
the other chap.
"Pair of ice skates?beauties, too."

THE TALENTED BLIND.
Sightless Musicians, Teachers and
Other Professionals.
A short time ago the Baroness von
Kranichfeld (nee Miriam Gardner, an
English woman.) died in Bucharest,
This lady, who was one of the queen
of Rumania's personal friends, was
writing a poem one day when a mist
suddenly spread over her eyes, and she
thus became in her fiftieth year totally
blind. In spite of her advanced age,
however, the baroness attended an
English school to learn the alphabet
and the use of the typewriter, and in
the end triumphed over her affliction to
the extent of being able to make her
own clothes and hats without any aid
whatever.
The story of this sightless baroness
reminds one that there are quite a
number of blind people in the world today
who have earned name and fame
in spite of their affliction. Thousands

itude to Dr. F. J. Campbell, the blind
principal of the Royal Normal college
for the Blind at Norwood, who lost his
sight in his fourth year. While at play
a thorn ran into his eye, and by the
carelessness of a doctor he lost the
sight of both eyes. Nevertheless he
became a splendid musician and ultimately
established the Royal Normal
colleze for those similarly afflicted as
himself. At this college pupils may
learn how to earn a good livelihood
and enjoy life in spite of the dark
world in which they live. Dr. Campbell
himself not only indulges in rowing,
riding and cycling, but is such a
skillful and ardent mountaineer that
Prof. Tyndall once said to him in Switzerland,
"Look here, Campbell, are you
really blind or only a humbug?"
The blind pianist Mendel, who has
appeared with such success on the
London and provincial stage, won a
scholarship of ? 40 a year at the Royal
Normal college. Mandel has a reperto'y
of over 1,000 pieces, including all
the classics and modern compositions,
and his reproductive and extemporizing
powers are not the least wonderful
of his faculties.
For the past seventeen years the
Middlesex Chronicle has been edited
by a blind journalist. Mr. John
Whall, who occupies the editorial chair
of this paper, is now 55 years old, and
has been blind since he was 13. He
was formerly an organist, but became
associated with journalism about
twenty years ago. He has long been
a familiar figure at the meetings of
municipal bodies, and his reports are
noted for their accuracy as well as
for their high descriptive qualities.
Mr. W. Wolstenholme, who is known
throughout the country by his organ
recitals, has been blind from birth,
and took his degree at an earlier age
than any one previously. One of his
musical tutors was Sir Edward Elgar,
who afterward showed his affection for
his pupil by acting as his amanuensis
when he took his Mus. Bac. at Oxford.
In America there is a remarkably
large number of blind men and women
holding positions of prominence. Apart
from the wonderful case of Helen Keller?who
has become so learned in
spite of the fact that when a baby she
suffered an Illness which rendered her
not only blind, but also deaf and dumb,
one might mention Miss Fanny Crosby
(Mrs. Alexander Van Alstyne) of Connecticut,
who has written over 5,000
hymns. Including that grand old favorite,
"Safe in the Arms of Jesus."
Edward de Mille Campbell, director
of the chemical laboratory of the university
of Michigan; Louis B. Carli
the famous Brooklyn mathematician;
T. P. Gore, a senator from Oklahoma;
Dr. Newell Perry, mathematical tutor
at Columbia university, and J. B. Herreshoff,
the famous yacht designer,
who modelled the last two defenders of
the America's cup, are all men who
have triumphed over blindness. Herreshoff.
who lost his sight when he was
15. has declared that his success as a
vacht builder rests largely on the fact
that he can picture so vividly in his
mind the boats he saw and the models
he owned during the first fifteen
years of his life. Prof. Campbell, by
the way, thinks nothing of working out
intricate chemical formulae in his
mind while performing before his
classes experiments which a chemist
with two good eyes undertakes with
some anxiety.
The irony of fate is well illustrated
by the case of Dr. Emlle Javal, the
famous French oculist, who became
sightless at the age of 62, and who now
devotes his time to teaching others how
to perform the operations for which he
was famed on the continent. Another
famous blind man in France is M. Camille
Lemaire, the French architect,
while M. Rigganbach, professor of theology
in the university of Basel, is also
sightless.?Tit-Bits.
? Columbia special of September 14.
tc Charlotte Observer: Eleven negroes
arrested at Ninety-Six, are in
jail at Greenwood today on the charge
of insurrection, growing out of race
friction. An intercepted letter revealed
the fact that a band of negroes had
been planning secretly at Ninety-Six
to "shoot up" the town on Sunday
night. September 6th, but that the
floods which caused the annulment of
all freight trains had delayed the delivery
of rifles to the negroes. Sheriff
McGillan asserts that the evidence
against the negroes is conclusive. There
has been much friction between the
races since the general election race
riot near Ninety-Six ten years ago,
when many negroes were killed. Two
years ago it was rumored that negroes
were obtaining guns to use in an attack
on white citizens, but the merchant
who it was found sold the guns
furnished the names of those who
bought them, and all the guns were
collected. Four weeks ago Joseph Tolbert,
a white Republican, was run out
of Ninety-Six at a local election, and
if i? fhiit in the intereenteri letter
the negroes mentioned as marked men
four of those most active against Tolbert.

I Pay For Ashes.
It Is a fact that I pay for ashes, but
in all cases where they are paid for,
the individual who owned the property
that has been reduced to ashes must
have made the contract with one of
the time tried and fire tested companies
that I represent before the reducing
process commenced. You cannot
make such a contract afterward.
I am prepared to insure any kind of
property, either in town or country, including'
country stores and old fashioned
gins, and at as low rates as any
agent who represents reputable companies.
If you have no insurance and
want some, I will be pleased to serve
you, or if you have insurance and desire
to renew it with me when it expires,
just give me the date of the expiration
of your policy and advise as
to amount desired. It will sure be appreciated
and properly cared for.
