Blind Band.
They were talking about the duties
that a man owed to the neighborhood
in which he lived. The subject of
charity concerts was mentioned, and
one man sighed and declared he would
never serve on a charity committee
again. Said he:
"When I was a young man of about
18 my father was a very prominent
man in our district, and no affair of
this sort was complete without his
name. There was, on one occasion, a
big entertainment at the town hall, J
and, as a compliment to my father,
I was invited to serve with him on
an important committee. The hall
was crammed with spectators, and
we had every available band in that
part of the country. "One of our duties
was to look after the bands, so
that the music could be kept going.
Another member of the committee had
scattered the bands round the hall,
and had placed one band up in the
gallery.
" 'I wish you would signal the band
in the gallery to strike up,' he said to
me, and I made my way down the
hall until I got to a point where the
band could be easily hailed. I made
the signal. The members of the band
paid no attention to me.
"I got excited and a bit angry; my
signalling became more violent, and I
went through a series of absurd arm
movements, while my face was burning
with embarrassment. I felt a man
pulling at my sleeve, and as I turned
round he said.
" 'Excuse me, but are you waving
to that band in the gallery?' .
" 'They are the biggest lot of blockheads
I ever saw!' I said in reply.
" 'Excuse me.' he said again, softly,
'that is the band from the blind asylum.'
"-Tit-Bits.
Forgot His Portfolio.?M. Isvolsky
is a broad-shouldered, pleasant
faced man who looks 40 and acknowl-1
edges 50 years. With an eyeglass
firmly riveted in his right eye, he is
the picture of a well-dressed and
carefully groomed man. His scrupulous
care in the selection of clothes
has given rebirth to a story which has
a flavor of antiquity to commend it.
The story runs that when minister
at Munich he kept waiting a distinguished
visitor for three-quarters of
an hour while he was closeted with
his tailor. "I am exceedingly sorry'."
was his apology, "but the special
courier with whom I have been engaged
had to catch a train to Berlin
and his business was urgent." "Yes,"
replied the visitor, pointing to an immaculate
pair of trousers hanging
over the back of a chair, "I perceive
he was in such a hurry that he has
forgotten his portfolio."?London Daily
Mail.
A Winnipeg Sermon.?a story is
going the rounds about one of the Winnipeg
clergy, which he himself has told
with great delight. A farmer and his
wife came to Winnipeg on a visit, and
on Sunday their host requested the farmer
friend to go with him to church.
"No," said he, "I never go to church."
And his wife backed up his assertion.
The visitor was finally persuaded to
go to a local church and was told the
pastor was also an American. After
the service he was introduced to the
pastor, ana tne iouowmg tuuvcisauvu
took place:
"Well, doctor," said the visitor, "I
enjoyed your sermon."
"I am very* pleased to hear that," replied
the pastor,
"You know," explained the farmer,
"I do not go to church very often, but
that sermon of yours was the least
like a sermon I ever heard."?Winnipeg
Telegram.
So Bad as That.?A young medical
student who was calling upon a girl
volunteered to sing and help entertain
the company which arrived unexpectedly.
At the end of his second solo
he turned to the young lady and remarked:
"1 am thinking of taking vok
cal lessons. Do you know of a good
teacher?"
"Yes, indeed," was the quick reply,
"I know the very one for you. There is
his address," and she scribbled the
name on a card, giving it to the student.
Next day he called up the teacher by
telephone: "Is this the instructor of
vocal music?"
"The What?" was the answer.
"The vocal teacher?" was repeated.
"Naw," came the reply, "I don't teach
nothing. I file saws!"?Ladies' Home
Journal.
He Wanted Work Clothes.?August
Belmont, in the smokeroom of
the liner that brought him back to
America?it was an English liner, and
these boats have "smoke" insteak of
"smoking" rooms?told one afternoon
many interesting things about London.
Mr. Belmont described the street
near Tottenham Court road, where
second hand clothes are sold.
"A discussion I overheard in that
street," he said, "will give you some
idea of the prices that prevail.
" 'I s'y.' said a young men, 'wot
price these 'ere?'
"And he held up before the dealer a
pair of plaid trousers.
" 'I can let you have 'erp, my son,
for sixpence.' the dealer answered.
"The other threw the trousers back
Into the barrow.
"'Garn!" he said: 'I don't want a
pair of Sundays. I want 'em for workin'
in.' "?Washington Star.
He Never Did.?Andrew Thomas
was a great "forgetter." He forgot to
pay the money he owed and to give
people back the things he borrowed.
Moreover, he was "touchy" on the subject,
so that few of his friends liked
to hint that he had any of their property
in his possession. One day one
of them took his courage in his hand.
"Where's that $5 you borrowed of
me last month, Andrew?" he asked.
"I don't want to seem tight, but I've
just got to"
Andrew replied with dignity, "Did
you ever see anything I didn't return?
No, I guess you didn't."?
Youth's Companion.
The Hobo as a Barometer.?The
Armourdale police are predicting a
long, hard winter.
"What do you judge by, the thickness
of the goose's breastbone or the
number of shucks on the corn?" was
asked.
"Neither," said the officers, "but by
the number of garments on the hoboes.
Today we caught one in the
Rock Island yards who wore six
shirts, three pairs of trousers, four
vests, two coats and a waiter's jumper."?Kansas

greeted at the door by Mrs. C. C.
Edwards and Mrs: L. D. Childs. The
hall was made very attractive throughout
with trailing cedar, which was
closely banked on the stairway and
over doors. Preceding the ceremony,
Miss Lucile Hood sang, "My Love is
like a Red, Red Rose," after which the
sweet strains of Mendelssohn's wedding
gown of messaline silk with trimhands
of Mrs. J. Q. Hood, softly floated
throught the house announcing the
coming of the bride. First came the
groom attended by his brother, Mr.
Archie S. Barron of Yorkville. Then
the bride entered with her maid of
honor, her sister, Miss Helen Hood,
taking their stand in front of the pyramid
of ferns and palms. The impressive
ceremony was performed by Rev.
S. J. Cartledge. The bride never looked
lovelier than in her beautiful wedding
grown of messaline silk with trimmings
of real lace. She wore a crescent
of diamonds and pearls, the groom's
gift, and carried bride's roses and
ferns. The maid of honor looked
charming in pink crepe dechlne carrying

GASTON.
Gastonia Gazette, October 30: Mr.
J. E. McAllister received a telegram
yesterday from Mr. P. L. McManus,
assistant general manager of the
Southern railway at Washington, informing
him that his bid for the new
freight depot was accepted and asking
him to forward by first mail plans and
specifications as they had been prepared.
As soon as the papers can be
signed and returned, which will probably
be some time next week, Mr. McAllister
will place his material and
proceed with work, on the building.
Unless some unforeseen delay arises,
Gastonia certainly should have a
freight depot complete before Christmas
Messrs. Drum, Robinson &
Jones, who conduct a general merchandise
store near the Arlington mill,
had the unpleasant experience last
week of entertaining a burglar unawares.
Last Thursday morning a man
appeared at their store and made himself
at home, engaging the members
of the firm and many of their customers
in conversation during the day.
He is described as being about six
feet tall, with reddish complexion, sandy
mustache and blue eyes. He claimed
to have moved to the Gray mill,
and spoke to one party of having just
come from Spartanburg and to another
he said that he came from Charlotte.
He snent the entire dav around
the store, only leaving1 about 7 o'clock
in the evening, which was the last any
one saw of him. The next morning
when the proprietors came to the store
to open up for the clay, they found the
back door broken open, and an axe
that had been taken from a yard nearby
lying in the store, with which the
door had evidently been forced open.
Evidences were found in the store and
in hiding places near that the visitor
of the day before had fitted himself
out in new clothes, shoes, etc., from
the stock. His old clothes and shoes
were found. Not satisfied with a complete
outfit for himself he got got away
with about $50 worth of various articles,
including five pairs of shoes,
three or four razors, a dozen pairs of
pants, hose, shirts, sardines, hats and
other articles.
PROGRESS OF BALKAN RACES.
Their Characteristics and Antecedents
?Amazing Development of Bulgarians,
Americans of the Near East.
The political divisions known as the
Balkan states are five. North of the
Danube lies Roumania, whose Independence
from Turkey was confirmed
by the Berlin congress In 1878. Immediately
south, on the other bank of the
Danube. Is Bulgaria, to the west of
which lies Servia?an independent
kingdom created by the treaty of Berlin?occupying
a position of vast strategic
importance on the Danube, at the
meeting of two great waterways, and
commanding the main line of railway
from western Europe to Constantinople.
Southwest of Servia is the little
principality of Montenegro, whose independence
from Turkey was assured
by the congress of Berlin. To the
west, about the head of the Adriatic
and between the river Drave and the
coast, are the territories known as
Bosnia and Herzegovina, officially described
as Turkish provinces, though,
by the treaty of Berlin, placed under
the Austro-Hungarlan government for
administration and military occupation.
Austria-Hungary has decreed the
nf tVlOCO IimvlllPeS TVlP
aiiiicAaiivit ui ti>vuv . ...www. ?
population consists of Moslem beys?
Servians who adopted Islam in order
to be assured of privileges?and Christian
peasants, almost exclusively members
of the Orthodox Greek church In
Bosnia, but, to a considerable extent,
Roman Catholics in Herzegovina. It
is not unusual, however, to find families
seeking to make friends with,
Mammon and righteousness by dividing
their members between the Moslems
and the Christians.
Bulgaria was conquered by the
Turks in 1396 and for 500 years remained
part of the Ottoman empire.
It was constituted an autonomous principality
by the Berlin treaty in 1878,
semi-independence having been recognized
by the Turks in the treaty of
San Stefano, signed with the Russians
a few months earlier in the same year.
Prince Alexander of Battenberg was
elected prince of Bulgaria in April,
1879. He totally defeated the Servians
at the battle of Sllvnitza in November,
1885, and in the next year came the
union of Bulgaria with eastern Roumelia.
Then followed the abdication of
Prince Alexander owing to Russian
pressure and the election of Prince
Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg in 1887.
The Near East Americans.
In the last twenty years the progress
>f Bulgaria has been amazing?American,
indeed, in its rapidity and its
thoroughness. The capital, Sofia, in
the early eighties was a collection of
mean buildings and filthy streets. Now
ii is a fine modern cttv. with well paved
streets, pleasant parks and beautiful
buildings, with a population of nearly
100,000 inhabitants.
During the same period the exports
and imports have increased by over
1,200 per cent, the exports including
grains, attar of roses, silk and tobacco.
There is a public elementary' school
in every village and a secondary school
in every town of 10.000 inhabitants.
Sofia and the other cities possess excellently
equipped hospitals, and the
state savings bank receives $400,000
deposits every month.
Generally it may be said that Bulgaria
is a nation of peasant farmers.
The country is divided into small holdings.
and the people are as hardworking
and earnest as small farmers generally
are. It is quite natural that so
determined and so progressive a people
should possess ambitions, and certainly
Bulgarian ambitions have been for
1 many years a most fertile cause of
Balkan unrest.
The Bulgarian desires the formation
of a great Bulgaria which will include
Macedonia. The Greeks, and with
them the Serbs, are as bitterly opposed
to this as are the Turks, and when one
remembers that in the Balkans assassination
and massacre are necessary
parts of political propaganda the western
European may have some idea of
the origin of the horrors that from
time to time occur.
The patriotic Bulgarian is continually
hearing voices calling to him from
Macedonia to come over and help them.
Macedonia is not only inhabited by
Mohammedans and Christians always
reauy ai lilt? snuiitrai nuutc i?j intwoo,cre
each other, but the Christians are
divided into Greeks, Servians and Bulgars,
who mutually hate each other
rather more than they all hate the
Turk.
Bulgaria's Big Army.
The Bulgarian army is certainly one
of the best, if not the best, of the
smaller armed forces of Europe. After
the formation of the principality of
1878 Russian officers held all the higher
posts in the Bulgarian army until
they were suddenly withdrawn by the
czar on the very eve of the war between
Bulgaria and Servia in 1885.
Even under these difficult circumstances
the Bulgarian army demonstrated
the quality of its material by
utterly defeating the Servians.
The peace strength of the Bulgarian
army is roughly estimated at 53,000
men, but on a war footing it is calculated
that the enormous fighting
force of at least 375,000 cam be placed
In the field. It is believed by the Bulgarian
authorities that they can mobilize
their army, ready for war, in
about a fortnight. It is certain that
mobilization in Bulgaria will take a
shorter time than in any of the neighboring
countries.
Every Bulgarian, whatever be his religion,
is liable to military service.
There are the usual exemptions from
service. Mohammedans, whose numbers
are yearly decreasing, may claim
not to serve on payment of $100, which
they can seldom afford. Liability for
service begins at the age of eighteen
and lasts till forty-six. Men going
into the infantry remain two continuous
years with the colors and then
pass for eighteen years into the reserve.
Recruits for the other arms of
the service spend three years with the
colors and sixteen in the reserve. After
completing his sendee in the active
army the Bulgarian passes into the
landwehr, wherp he remains until the
age of forty-six.
Mannlicher Firearms Used.
The country is divided into nine divisional
districts, with headquarters
at various strategical centers. Each
district supplies a division in peace
time, which expands in war to an
army corps of two divisions. Each division
consists of eight battalions of
infantry and a regiment of artillery,
ind six of the divisions have each a
regiment of divisional cavalry. Every
battalion has in peace time four comnanles.
In war each company becomes
a battalion, so that every battalion
in peace time becomes four battalions
in war. The expansion due to
the very long period of time which
the Bulgarian spends in the reserve
are very large, and the success of the
system must very largely depend upon
the manner and rapidity with which
mobilization can be effected and on
the quality of the reserve of officers,
on whom so large a share of the command
must fall. The Infantry is armed
with the .315 Mannlicher magazine
rifle and short bayonet.
The Bulgarian army possesses about
flfty-flve batteries of field artillery,
nine batteries of mountain guns, six
batteries of howitzer guns and three
battalions of fortress artillery. The
artillery has recently been rearmed
with new French Creuzot guns.
The cavalry of Bulgaria consists of
three squardons of household troops.
Besides these squadrons there is a cavalry
division of about 2,500 men. Each
divisional district is supposed, in addition,
to have a regiment of cavalry, but
these are not at present all formed.
The cavalry is armed with the Mannlicher
carbine and saber.
Land of Great Beauty.
The latest estimate of the population
three squadrons of household troops.
under TurKisn ruie no record was Kept
of the population. Of these more than
about 600,000 are Turks, 700,000 Greeks,
494,124 Roman Catholics, 9,311 Jews,
5,000 Protestants and representatives of
other religions.
Bosnia and Herzegovina are situated
in the northwest corner of the Balkan
peninsula, bounded on the north by the
Slavonian province of Austria-Hungary,
on the east by Servla, Turkey and
Montenegro and on the south and west
by Dalmatia and the Adriatic sea. The
country is mountainous, being broken
by high peaks, deep glens, ridges, beautifully
wooded hills, winding streams
and rich alluvial basins which yield
large crops of grain and are especially
adapted to fruit. Sarajevo, the capital,
nas 60,000 inhabitants.
The same treaty of Berlin which
gave to Servia its independence also
placed Bosnia and Herzegovina under
the protection of Austria, Bosnia and
Herzegovina were under Turkish rule
from 1463 until 1878. During thq.t
period they practically disappeared
from the current of civilization. Brigandage
was a recognized profession.
There were no railways and few wagon
roads. Murder was not considered a
crime, and robbery was as common fis
lying. Statistics claim that 8,000 to
10,000 people were murdered annually
by officials and military guards.
Today crime is practically unknown
in the two provinces. Railroads reach
every corner of Bosnia. The people
are prosperous and educated. Members
of the different faiths mix with
each other freely and are tolerant of
one another. There has never been a
train robbery since the Austrians took
hold. In 1900 there were only two
homicides in all the land. The country
is mountainous and very beautiful.
Odd Customs In Vogue.
Some of the customs of the people
are peculiar. Separate courts have
been established in places for the
Austrians and Turks because It Is not
perjury for a Mohammedan to swear
falsely against a Christian. They have
also courts for the settlement of trifling
differences in which lawyers ore
not allowed to interfere because that
honorable profession is accused of en[
couraglng litigation for the sake of
the fees. Before the Austrian occupation
this was a great evil. Almost the
entire population was involved in suits,
j About twenty years ago a law was enacted
limiting the number of lawyers
to sixteen for the entire country.
Eighty-eight per cent of the popula[
tion is engaged in farming and raising
cattle, sheep and swine. Tobacco is
an important crop and a government
monopoly. In Sarajevo, the capital
citv. there are fine office buildings,
churches, apartment houses, government
structures and public institutions.
The transformation of the people from
a wild, lawless brood ever ready to kill,
ignorant, vicious and lawless, into a
well governed, prosperous, law abiding
country is considered a remarkable example
in administration. The benefits
derived by Bosnia were also extended
to Herzegovina.
The kingdom of Servia is the most
fertile and densely populated of the
Balkan states. Like other Balkan
states, its progress has been hindered
by political strife. It has an area of
18,600 square miles, or little more
than twice the size of New Hampshire.
Its population is about 2,500,000,
chiefly Serbs. Belgrade is the
capital city. Servia was the first of
the Balkan states to achieve independence
of Ottoman rule. It was first
conquered by the Turks in 1389, was
ceded to Austria in 1718 and retaken
by Turkey in 1739. After suffering
terribly from the desperate strife of
the Karageorgevitch and Obrenovich
dynasties the province secured its full
independence under the Berlin treaty
of 1878. Servia came prominently into
public print in 1903, when King Alexander
and his queen, whose reign was
stained by such vice and crime that
the other rulers refused to receive
them, were assassinated.
Nation of Hardy Mountaineers.
Montenegro is an independent principality
peopled with hardy mountaineers.
It is situated in the Kara Dagh,
or Black mountains (whence the name
Cruagora or Montenegro), with a narrow
seaboard of about twenty-eight
miles on the eastern shore of the Adriatic,
north of the Turkish province of
Albania, On the northwest it is contiguous
to Herzezovlna, under Austrian
administration. The little principality
Is only a hundred miles long at its
longest point, eight miles wide and
has an area of about 3,650 square
miips Tt has a DODulation of 227.000
of whom 13,000 are Mussulmans, 13,000
Roman Catholics and the remainder
descendants of Servians who refused
to recognize Turkish supremacy and
took refuge at the end of the fourteenth
century in the fastnesses of the
Karst mountains, where they have
since maintained their independence.
The prevailing religion is that of the
Creek church, although there Is nominally
no established church. Russian
influence is dominant in the principality,
which derives a part of its revenue
and military supplies from Russia
by direct contribution. Like Bosnia,
agriculture and the raising of cattle
and sheep are the chief occupations.
Its independence was recognized at
the Berlin conference, at which time
its territory was almost doubled.
EGGS AND THE HEN.
An Annual American Omelet as Big as
Manhattan Island.
Let us sing the praise of the great
American hen, who during the last year
may well have cackled with pride over
the production of nearly 1,300,000,000
dozens of eggs. Do you realize what
that means? demands a writer in the
Woman's Home Companion. Well, listen:
If Instead of remaining quietly at
home in Iowa she had chosen to demonstrate
her powers to the universe at
large the hen might have laid those
eggs, each two inches long, end to end!'
in a continuous chain reaching 238,818 1
miles up to the moon, back again and 1
then more than half way around the I
world for good measure?a total of i
492,424 miles of eggs! j
Furthermore, if those eggs had been j
made into one omelet half an inch ,
thick that omelet would easily have
covered Manhattan Island, an area of I
22 square miles. I
An old Mohammedan legend tells <
that Xing Solomon used to travel j
through the air with all his armies on j
a wonderful flying carpet protected (
from the rays of the sun by the wings |
of a host of birds. Now, according to j
the poultry census, there are in the
United States about 280,000,000 of
chickens, guinea fowls, turkeys, geese '
and ducks of the poultry voting age, '
which is three months or over. If re- 1
quired to furnish a moving canopy like I
that of King Solomon the barnyard I
fowls of this country', allowing only a i
foot of spread to each, could easily |
shadow a space of ten square miles. |

Do you know of any other life Insurance
company besides the Mutual Benefit
that guarantees In Its policies to
pay the insured at the end of the first
year after he has paid a premium to
pay him a stipulated amount in cash
for his policy in case he desires, for
any reason, to surrender it, or to carry
the policy for the full amount insured
for a stipulated time and to pay
the face of the policy in cash in case
the insured dies during the extended
period, or to issue a paid up policy
payable at death? I do not know of
such another company but do know
that practically all the other companies
do not guarantee or promise anything
until three premiums have been paid,
except to pay the face of the policy in
case of death. If you find it necessary
to borrow the money with which to
settle your second premium the Mutual
Benefit guarantees in its policy to loan
you the money. These features are
worthy cf consideration.

MONUMENT WORKS.
Remember the Dead
Every grave in York county should
be appropriately marked with a Tombstone
or Monument. To do this is not
only a mark of respect and esteem to
one's departed relatives, but it is desirable
and proper to place an enduring
record in stone over all graves. If
you have loved ones who have passed
to the great beyond and are considering
the idea of a suitable marker for
their graves, we will appreciate a call
from you that we may have an opportunity
of showing you designs of Head
Stones and Monuments and quoting
you prices.
