Deceptive Attitude.
A scene that was more than farcical,
declares M. A. P.. occurred in the house
of commons last season. Two of the
most respectable members of the house
were seen with their coats off and with
a staid old policeman standing: between
them. The two had been downstairs
to wash their hands and by some mischance
had changed coats. They went
into the house together. One of them,
putting his hand into his coat pocket,
pulled out an old brier pipe of very
strong flavor. It was not his.
He looked at the coat, also that of
his neighbor, and turning to his friend,
said:
"Excuse me. but 1 think you have
I'Ul Oil 111 \ lUill,
"I beg your pardon. I have done
nothing of the kind."
"I think," replied the other member,
"this is your pipe, and if you put your
hand into the light hand pocket of the
coat you are wearing you will find a
cigar case."
"Dear me!" was the reply. "You certainly
are right. What shall we do?"
"We cannot change in the house."
observed the first member. "Let us go
into the division lobby."
Here is where the policeman came
in. Seeing the two facing eacn viher
and at the same time taking off their
coats, the policeman feared the w?rs\
He rushed up and. placing a hand on
the shoulder of each, said:
"Gentlemen! Gentlemen! not here,
please!"
No CoMK Hac k.?Some of the West
Indian islanders have learned that
when a foreigner misbehaves on their
shores it is better to suffer in silence
than to mete out punishment at the
risk of a descending gunboat from the
miscreant's native land. A judge in
Haiti, however, recently took occasion
to pay off old scores and to redeem his
self-respect in the case of an offender
brought before him.
To his first question as to the nationality
of the accused the interpreter had
answered that the prisoner was from
Switzerland.
"Switzerland!" said the judge. "And
Switzerland has no seacoast. has it?"
"No seacoast. your honor." replied
the interpreter.
"And no navy,".continued the judge.
"And no navy, your honor." was the
reply.
"Very well, then," said the judge,
"give him one year at hard labor."?
Brooklyn Life.
The Family Meal.?At a temperance
meeting Irving Grinnell, treasurer
of the Church Temperance societyi
of New York, told a dramatic story:
"A woman entered a barroom," he:
said, "and advanced quietly to her|
husband, who sat drinking with three
other men. I
"She placed a covered dish on the
table and said:
" 'Thinkin' ye'd too busy to come
home to supper. Jack. I've fetched it
to you here.'
"And she departed.

invited his friends to share the meal
with him. Then he removed the cover
from the dish.
"The dish was empty. It contained
only a slip of paper that said:
" 'I hope you will enjoy your supper.
It is the same your wife and children
have at home.'"
Something Wrong With It.?Admiral
Robley Evans tells the following
story against himself. He had a congressman
for a guest, and, having run
out of his favorite brand of whisky,
made up with some he could not guarantee.
He explained this and added:
"Here, however, is some brandy that
I've kept untouched for a good deal
more than twenty years."
"Hand me over the whisky decanter,"
was the rejoinder.
"Why?" asked the admiral. "What's
the matter with the brandy?*
"That's what I want to know. Bob."
said the guest: 'if you had it untouched
in your possession for more
than twenty years, there must be
something pretty bad the matter with
it."?Tit-Bits.
The Bio Battle.?Xot long ago
King Edward was visiting a country
house near the scene of one of Cromwell's
historic battles. Strolling out
one day by himself, he met the village
blacksmith returning from a
shoeing expedition.
"I say, my good fellow," said his
majesty, genially, "i understand mere
was a big battle fought somewhere
about here?"
"Well-er." stammered the blacksmith.
recognizing the king; "I did 'ave
a round with Rill, the potman, but 1
didn't know your majesty had heard
of it."
Tiie Canny Scot.?To illustrate the
canniness of the Scot the following tale
is told: A merchant and a farmer
were discussing political economy in a
railroad carriage. After a while the
merchant filled his pipe, lit it, and settled
back for a comfortable smoke.
The farmer took his pipe from his
pocket, and. after gazing longingly at
its empty bowl, asked his companion
for a match. The merchant selected
one from a large boxful and handed it
over.
Said the farmer: "I am afraid I've
come away wi'out my baccy pouch."
Well," said the merchant, holding
out his hand, "then ye'll no be in need
of that match."
Strictly Kuksh 'There are
summer resorts, remote from any
agricultural communities, where fresh
farm products arc even harder to obtain
than in the city. It was at such
a place that the new hoarder, who had
eaten four or five breakfasts there, began
to wonder why the eggs were invariably
served fried.
"See here," he inquired one morning
of the genial colored man who waited
upon hiin. "why do you always fry
eggs here? Don't you ever boil them?"
"Oh-oh. yes. sah!" responded the
waiter, pleasantly. "Of co'se. yo' kin
have 'em boiled, if yo' wants 'em.
Kut yo' know, sah. yo' takes de risk!"
A DlKKict't/r Ti:t? K.?When the new
trolley line first ran through the little
town it was regarded with mingled
pride, admiration and fear, for many
of the townsfolk stood in awe of the
mysterious powers of the electric ctr
lent.
"Would I get a shock if I put my fo >t
on that rail?" queried a nervous old
lady, after hovering on one side of the
road, not quite daring to attempt the
dangerous crossing.
"Xo, madam." answered the polite
conductor, "not unless you put your
other foot on the trolley wire."

nearly blind. All the world has heard

genius and power stand out as exceptions,
not in the kind of things they

their success. They prove that the brain

A REAPER RACE.
The Feat That Made William N.
Whiteley Famous.
In the early days of the exploitation
of various reaping: machines a field
demonstration. usually competitive,
was a necessary occurrence. H. N.
Casson in "The Romance of the Reaper"
tells the following: story of William
X. Whiteley, "the Charlemagne of
the harvest field:"
He was as tall as a sapling and as
strong as a tree. As a professor in the
great school of agriculture lie has never
been surpassed. He could outtalk,
outwork and generally outwit the men
who were sent against him. He was a
whole exhibition in himself.
"I've seen Bill Whiteley racing his
horses through the grain and leaning
over with his long arms to pick the
mice's nests from just in front of the
knife," said an old Ohio settler.
The feat that first made Whiteley fa
nious was performed at Jamestown,
O.. in 1867. His competitor was doing:
as good work as lie was. whereupon he
sprang from his seat, unhitched one
horse and finished his course with a
single surprise steed pulling the
heavy machine.
His competitor followed suit and succeeded
fully as well.
This enraged Whiteley. who at that
time was as powerful as a young Hercules.
"I can pull that reaper myself!" he
shouted, turning his second horse loose
and yoking his hig shoulders into the
harness.
Such a thing had never been done
before and has never been done since,
but it is true that in the passion of
the moment Whiteley was filled with
such strength that he ran the reaper
from one side of the field to the other.
cutting a full swath, a deed that,
had he done it in ancient Greece, would
have placed him among the Immortals.
That ten minutes in a horse collar
made $2,000,000 for Whiteley. His antagonist.
Benjamin H. Warder, was
filled with admiration for Whiteley's
prowess and at once proposed that
they should quit fighting and work in
harmony.
"Give me the right to make your
reaper, and I'll pay you $5 apiece for
all I can sell." said Warder.

JUST MISSED FORTUNE.
Vagrant Who Once Had Prospects of
Being a Millionaire.
A man who might have been worth
today $6,000,000, instead of a penniless
vagrant, now occupies a cell at the
workhouse in St. Paul, says the Alaska
Dispatch. Absolute owner of blocks
of shares which would have made him
fabulously rich, but which he allowed
to slip through his hands, he is today
without a cent and unable to eke out
even a scant living. Shamed and broken
in spirit, but almost grateful to the
judge for putitng him in a place where
he will at least be sure of a bed and
three meals a day, he walked slowly
from the court room to the bullpen and
imprisonment.
W. G. McMath, the plaything of fate,
has been sentenced by Judge Hanft, of
the St. Paul court, to ten days' imprisonment.
In Duluth, where he formerly
resided, his name and history
are well known. Ten years ago, when
the project to build the White Pass and
Yukon railroad was broached, McMath,
then a successful merchant of Duluth,
became greatly interested in the plan.
He invested his entire fortune of about
$15,000 in the undertaking. Later he
was made an agent of the company,
and traveled extensively trying to
float bonds. But the road seemed
doomed to failure, and all his money
tied up in the stocks, McMath found
himself practically ruined, and allowed
his stock to slip through his hands
for a mere song.
A coterie of capitalists obtained possession
of the majority of the stock,
and a year later the road was launched.
From the very first it was a paying
investment, cutting as it did into
the heart of the mining regions. The
revenue was immense and the stock
advanced by leaps and bounds. Capitalists
throughout the country became
interested in the road, and the fame
nf the Alaska road was noised mrougn
the country.
Today the stock of the White Pass
and Yukon railroad sels for $600 a
share, while the man who in the beginning:
held in his own name 10,000
shares, which would now have meant
to him $6,000,000, is a vagrant.
Too Mrcil.?"Do you think that Miss
Kidder was having fun with me?" asked
Chaw ley.
"Well, old chap, give me the details,"
was Awthur's response.
"You see. I had my bull terrier with
me. And I said to her, 'that oog knows
as much as I do.' And she said. 'Don't
vou think four dollars and a half was
too much to pay for him?'"?Cleveland

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

the idea of a suitable marker for
their graves, we will appreciate a call
from you that we may have an opportunity

THE YORKVILLE ENQUIRER IS THE MOST THOROUGHGOING
FAMILY NEWSPAPER IN SOUTH CAROLINA. It Is primarily a County
paper, and there is not a paper in this state that fills its field mope completely
or more impartially in this respect. It seeks to promote the material ^
and moral welfare of its readers, and in defending and developing all that is
best in their educational, political and social life. It is owned and controlled
absolutely by its publishers, who hold themselves responsible only to their
subscribers as a whole on a basis of the Ten Commandments and the four Gospels.
As the best recommendation of the Integrity of its conduct, and of the
righteousness of its controlling motives it points back to a record of fifty-three
years of earnest endeavor, and the present support of MORE THAN TWO
THOUSAND PAID SUBSCRIBERS.

in the same township we will give One Five Drawer High Arm Sewing

It is our purpose to give the Buggies to the Clubmakers returning the
LARGEST and SECOND LARGEST CLUBS. If both the Largest and Second
Largest Clubs are returned from the same township, there will be no Sewing
Machine premium for that township. In case the Buggies go to TWO different
townships, then the Clubmaker in each of those townships making the
Second Largest Club, will receive One of the Forty Dollar Sewing Machines.
The Buggies we are offering are of the Standard Carolina Grade made
by the ROCK HILL BUGGY COMPANY. They are of the quarter leather top
description, and the Retail Price of one Is $95.00x while the Retail Price (|
of the other is $70.00. These Buggies carried off all the premiums at the last
Georgia State Fair, and it is conceded by disinterested dealers and users every- 1
where that there is not a better Buggy to be had in the United States for the
price. There are hundreds of these Buggies running in this section and they
are giving general satisfaction. They may be seen on exhibition at the mammoth
factory of the company in Rock Hill, or in the warerooms of different 4
dealers in this section, Messrs. Carroll Bros., of Yorkville; W. F. Harris &

The Sewing Machines are as good as are to be had at the prices quoted.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
THE CONTEST BEGINS NOW and will come to a close on SATURDAY,
MARCH 20, at 0 o'clock p. in., sharp.
Each Clubmaker will be held Individually responsible for the payment of m
the amount due on all names returned by him or her. Where it is desired to
stop a subscription before the close of the Club contest, the Clubmaker may
do so by paying the amount due at the time of such stoppage. Where a subscription
lias been paid in full, it cannot be discontinued. The Clubmaker,
however, may, if he sees proper, transfer the unfulfilled portion of the sub- |
scrlptlon to another subscriber, provided the person to whom the transfer Is ^
to be made was not a subscriber at the time the original name was entered on ?
our books. w
No name will lie counted in coini>ctition for a premium until the subscription
price lias been iwiid, nor will any premium be delivered until the
Clubmaker has either paid or made satisfactory settlement for all the names
on the Club.
In cases of contention by two or more Clubmakers over the right to a
name, preference will be given to the one who pays for the name FIRST; but
where both pay, we shall not attempt to deeitle the matter except by crediting
the name for one year for each such payment.
After a name has been entered on our books, no transfer will be permitted.
This is positive and emphatic, and where Clubmakers attempt to
make such transfers, they must concede our right to take such steps as may 4
seem necessary to protect the fairness of this provision. The Clubmaker who
returns names must pay for them. Clubmakers who try to return and pay for
names already regularly returned by others will be called down, especially
if there is evidence of an understanding between the Clubmakers. This is
not for the protection of the publishers; but as a guarantee of the fairness
of the competition. ,
Any and all Clubmakers will have the right to (Jet Subscribers Wherever ^
They Can. It is not necessary that all the names shall go to the same address.
The fact that a name was returned on a certain club last year does not give
that Clubmaker a right to return it this year.
All subscriptions must be forwarded to us at the expense of those sending
them, and we will be responsible for the safe transmission of money only
when it is sent by Draft, Registered Letter, Express or Postofflce Money Order.
In sending names, Always give correct name or initials, and present postofTiec
address, and If possible say whether the subscribers are XOW taking
the paper. Careful observance of this will be the means of avoiding much
trouble and confusion.
In the case of a tie for either the Ruggy or Township Sewing Machine
Premiums TWO WEEKS will be allowed for the working off of the tie. <
After the close of the contest on SATl'KDAY. MARCH 20. at 0 p. 111.,
the price of a year's subscription will be $2.00. unless New Clubs are formed.
