tumorous JlrpartmrntThe Nervy Young Man. "Sir." said the nervy young man, coming Into the rich merchant's office and taking a seat near the head of the Arm. "I would like to ask you for your daughter's hand!" "Why, I don't even know you, sir!" "Oh. don't let that bother you at all, sir. We'll soon get acquainted." "So you. a perfect stranger, ask for my daughter's hand, eh?" said the rich merchant, gazing in amazement at his caller. "Which daughter do you mean? I have three." "I mean the one with the golden hair," imparted the young man, unabashed. "I am still In doubt, young man. Two of my daughters have golden hair. Do you mean Ellen or Maria?" "Can't say which, sir. I had only a moment's view of your daughter, and have never met her to know her name, ltut the moment's sight of her was enough to tell me that I love her sir." "And you come here to get my decision without consulting or even seeking an acquaintance with my daughter?" "Yes. You see, sir, the time is short. Yesterday I came across your daughter and a young man in the park. Just as I had made up my mind that I loved her, I heard the young gentleman tell her that he was coming here today to ask for her hand in marriage; so I hurried right along to get in my bid ahead of him." "Young man," gasped the fond parent, "it's a foregone conclusion that you will accomplish what you start out to do. And you've certainly got the nerve! So go ahead and obtain an introduction to the daughter of your choice and do the rest! You've got my consent!"?Tit-Bits. The Uses of Adversity. "Grogan," said the head of the department store, eyeing him sharply, "you've quit drinking, haven't you?" "Yes, sor," answered the red headed Hibernian who worked in the packing department. "I haven't taken a dhrink av annything sthronger th'n iced tay f'r three months." "I am glad to hear it, Grogan. I'll make it an object to you to stay quit. But how did you break yourself of the habit?" "Be hittin' me thumb nail wld a hammer whin I was packln' a box o' goods." "I don't see how that could cure you." "Well. Misther Parker, it was this way. If. I'd been sober, d'ye moind, I'd niver have done it. but I wasn't. Whin I whacked me thumb instead av the nail I was thryin' to dhrive it made a black spot at the root av me thumb nail.

The tradesman had rendered his hill, waited a month and then wrote. "Please, sir, I want my bill." Back came the bill with these words: "Certainly: here it is." The bill was returned, and in a month the tradesman again wrote: "Kindly send me the amount of my bill." And the answer came promptly and politely: "Certainly: it is $104.26." The third month the tradesman again wrote: "Will you send me a check for the o wAiint r\f mv Kill?" The answer came, with a blank, unsigned check: "Certainly: here is the check. I have kept the amount of your bill." The fourth month the tradesman wrote: "I want my bill paid." And the answer came back, "So do I." Then the tradesman gave it up.? Indies' Home Journal. A Fahle.?Once upon a time there was a young man who met two nice girls, who were constantly together. Now, he was an astute young man, ' and he desired to say something pret' ty and agreeable to the ladies, but he knew that if he paid a compliment to one of them, no matter which, the other would be hurt. So he thought rapidly for a moment, and then he said: "Ah, I know why you two girls are always together!" "Why?" asked the two girls. "Because everybody says that a handsome girl always chooses a homely one as a companion, so that her beauty may be enhanced by the contrast." After such a remark, either both girls would be angry with him or delighted. And what do you think happened? The two girls blushed and said he was a flatterer, and went their way together, each happy for herself and sorry for the other.?London Answers.

News and Comment Gleaned From Within and About the County. CHESTER. Lantern, December 1: Officer Williams on Saturday afternoon arrested Jim Green, a white man, on the request of the Charlotte police. He was taken to Charlotte by Officer Hardin. He is wanted in the latter city to answer to the charge of assault and battery with intent to kill; also for selling liquor. As far as the information from Charlotte went It is alleged that Green and several oth er men were gambling in the engine room of one of the mills there. It is also alleged that he sold liquor to the crowd. It is further stated that for some reason the crowd fell out and commenced to fight and in the mix-up Green cut several of the men, one of them pretty badly so it is said. Green was in the mayor's court last spring on the charge of disorderly conduct in Abe Bailey's restaurant and was fined $10, but he skipped and it was when he came back a few days ago that he paid the fine ..Miss Dora Thomasxon of Yorkvile, returned to her home yesterday morning, after a few days' visit with her sister, Mrs. P.

Benfleld of York county, passed through yesterdayafternoon on their way home from attending the Methodist conference at Laurens Miss Josie Bigham, who has been the local editor of The Lantern, has retired with the change of management. Much of the growth of the Lantern recently has been due to the efforts and good work of Miss Bigham. .She has friends by the score who will wish for her all happiness and success in the coming years. She has also done much of the business work of the Lantern and none could have done it better. It is through the associations and work of good women like Miss Bigham that the standard of newspapers has been raised so much in the past few years. It is a pity that more of them are not in the profession. GASTON. Gastonia Gazette, December 1: Ripe strawberries in November are rarities but Mrs. W. F. Warren, who lives on Robinson B street, found a bunch of fine, ripe ones in her garden yesterday. The plant grew close to a tree stump and had been thus sheltered from the 'rost. The Gazette is under obligations to Mrs. Warren for several of these luscious berries. They taste "mighty good" this late in the season Mr. and Mrs. J. Y. Miller and son, have returned from Yorkville and Chester where they spent ihe Thanksgiving holidays Reynard furnished a lively and exciting race for a large number of hunters ast night south of Gastonia In the Pleasant Ridge section. Mr. Red Fox was turned loose near Mr. James Falls' residence about 10 p. m. and. after a chase of two hours or more, was killed near James Hill's place two or three miles distant. Among the hunters were Messrs. S. N. Boyce, W. X. Davis. Tobe McArver, W. C. Abernathy, R. L. Davis of Gastonia, and a number of others from Bessemer City, Dallas and the Pleasant Ridge neighborhood The following item from the Raleigh correspondence of the Charlotte Observer of this morning will be read with interest by many Gastonians and Gaston countians: "Mr. \V. F. Marshall, for two years past the managing editor of the Progressive Farmer, resigns and becomes president and general manager of the Mutual Publishing company, in which he has bought an interest. He Is a very capable newspaper man and at Gastonia conducted the Gazette and also a printing establishment before he came here. His present company prints the Progressive Farmer.

He is also a writer of general reputation and for several years has contributed articles to the best farm papers in this country, as well as to other magazines. He is regarded as particularly well fitted for his new position. STILL WATER. A M irror Lake Among the Mountains of California. To some extent all still water is a mliror, and, with favorable conditions of light, any lake or river, unruffled by the wind, and not in too much hurry to reflect, gives a perfect replica of objects above its surface. Here and there, however, the effect is. thanks to certain conditions, and mainly to the conformation of the shore, peculiarly striking, and in all the traveler's journals and portfolios of photographs there is not likely to be found the peer of the Mirror Lake in the Yosemite valley. Fully to appreciate the beauty of this mountain mere, wherein all na-1 ture Is seen as in a looking glass, you must ride to its snores jusi oeiore me hour of sunrise on a cloudless morning. The accuracy of the reflection grows on you as you gaze. At the tirst blush it looks only like a hundred other lakes of your travels, with rocks and trees reflected in its limpid depths. Then, as you take a little closer stock, you realize with amazement that your eye has not yet mastered the dividing line between the real and the unreal, and that the apparently solid rock you were looking at absent-mindedly is nothing more than the ghost of sounder foothold above. More tangible proof of the perfect illusion came to me when on returning home I handed a photograph of the lake to several people, who were wholly unable to decide, without reference to the pack, which was the right way up. It is a straightforward silver print, developed and printed in the ordinary way and with no attempt to strengthen the reflection at the expense of the object reflected, but the resemblance between object and image is all but Identity. Fortunately there are no fish in the lake, else their movements would spoil many a pleasant Illusion for those who ride or drive out to the lake each daybreak from one or other of the camps in the valley. It is a pleasant ride over the bridge that spans the Merced river within sound of the Yosemlte Falls, and then along a .winding track, the edges of which are carpeted with wild Iris and Indian paintbrush. The song of birds is in the air. and bushytalled squirrels are at play among the trees and on the ground, for in America there are more ground squirrels than other of arboreal habits. On a slippery stone, bathed in spray from the falls, a pert water-ousel flirts his tall, and even amid such fairy scenes it was watched and loved and written of by John Muir in that wonderful book of his on "The Mountains of California." The trail of the tripper is over those erst wild landscapes nowadays, which is tne sauuenmg resun m exienueu railroad facilities: yet, after all, it were a pity that such an earthly paradise as the Yosemlte should be closed to the thousands whom nothing would induce to seek its rare beauty under the old conditions of a hundred miles of rough coaching. For men are the better for having gazed upon the face of it, for having stood beside Mirror Lake and sat in the shadow of the frowning mountains, never a doubt of it. And America, building up her great nation out of the most discordant elements, needs all the aid she can get from nature in educating to higher ideals many not bred in them. The man who, after communion with the spirit of Mirror Lake, could deliberately commit a crime until at any rate Its memory had faded from his mind is better beneath its surface, where his clay could do nothing to disturb the perfect lines of the picture that never changes.?Pall Mall Oazette.

BANK OF HICKORY (iROVK INSANITY CAUSED BY LOVE. Paris Experts Discuss This Question Because of Coquelin Case. Paris cable to the New York World says that Dr. Eertllllon, the director of the Paris Asylum for the Insane, has has been studying love as a mental disease and says he has found that when love is so intense as to approach a state of mental aberration the whole left side of the body becomes hypersensitive. Such love, he says, as leads to pussionate crimes is merely a form of madness. Dr. Briand, director of the Villejulf asylum contends, on the other hand, that love never leads to madness, but frequently causes money troubles, and they may result In such worry as to drive a man insane. The discussion upon the subject of love and madness and their relation one to the other arose out of the case of Coquelin the younger, who was confined in a private Insane asylum in Paris. Coquelin had lost a good deal of money through unfortunate speculations, but not sufficient to ruin him. He also suffered because his love for a well-known Parisian woman was not reciprocated. He became a* victim of melancholia, and while with his wonderful talent as a comic actor he was nightly amusing his audiences and sending them into peals of laughter, his heart grew heavier and heavier within him. Finally he became so despondent that his friends were alarmed for him, and he was examined by physcians and put Into a sanitarium. Py the exercise of great cunning he escaped and made his way through Pails on foot at night to his own doorway. Then, overwrought, weak and ill, he sank on the steps, unable even to knock at the door. He was found sitting there and crying as though his heart would break. Eminent French specialists on mental diseases are divided in opinion as to whether it was money or love that so upset poor Coquelin.

Where it is desired to V stop a subscription before the close of the Club contest, the Clubmaker may W do so by paying the amount due at the time of such stoppage. Where a sub- f scrlption hus been paid in full, it cannot he discontinued. The Clubmaker, t however, may, if he sees proper, transfer the unfulfilled portion of the sub- L scrlption to another subscriber, provided the person to whom the transfer is A to be made was not a subscriber at the time the original name was entered on W our books. ^ No name will be counted in competition for a premium until the subscription price has been paid, 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 decide the matter except by crediting the name for one year for each such payment.

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 Get 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, PIxpress or Postofflce Money Order. In sending names, Alwuys give correct name or initiuls, and present postoiliee address, and if possible say whether the subscribers are NOW 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 Buggy or Township Sewing Machine Premiums TWO WEEKS will be allowed for the working off of the tie. 4 After the close of the contest on SATURDAY, MARCH 20, at 6 p. m., the price of a year's subscription will be $2.00, unless New Clubs are formed.
