Depew's Hero of the War. I
Among Senator Depew's stories there
is one about a veteran on a street ear. I
This veteran, in all the panoply of
his blue uniform, brass buttons and
white cotton gloves, was on his way to
a Fourth of July picnic on the outskirts
of the village. A stranger ,
boarded the car, and the veteran, leaning
across his wife, engaged the man
in conversation.
The talk soon turned to warfare, and
the veteran said:
"Yes. sir: I've seen fightin*. 1 got
this gash acrost the cheek at Chickamauga.
My stiff leg, by gosh, comes ,
from a nan in tne Knee?c imnmiipisville.
This thumb nail here was shot
off at Gettysburg. I lost the tip of my
ear at Spottsylvania."
"Dear me." said the stranger, "how
interesting! You have, indeed, sir,
seen hot fighting. Hut, tell me, how did
you get that long, deep, murderous
dent down the side of your nose? A
cavalry charge hand-to-hand engagement,
eh?"
The veteran frowned and ignored the
question. He began to talk about the
heat. But his wife interrupted.
"Go on. Bill," she said impatiently.
"Tell the gentleman how you got the
dent in your nose."
"You shut up, Hannah," said the
veteran.
"I won't, nuther," said the old woman.
"For it just about riles the skin
off me to hear you braggin' and braggin'
about the marks you got in the
war. whilst you won't never open your
head about the finest and most noticeable
mark of all?the one I give you
with the fire shovel."?Washington
Star.
A Hot Weather Story.?James H.
Scarr, New York's weather expert, was
talking about the heat.
"Our summer heat is. of course, a
pretty formidable thing." he said, "but
it's not quite so formidable as some
people, for their own good, try to make
out.
"When I read the terrible descriptions
of our heat that appear in steamship
and seashore advertisements I
wink to myself and think of Sam
Thomas.
Sam Thomas was a farm boy. The
farmer, while mowing one hot day.
sent him off to the general store for
a plug of tobacco. Sam, on his return,
broke the farmer's sharpening stone?
he stepped on it in jumping over the
fence. But he kept on his way as
.though nothing had happened, and
then, after he had handed the farmer
the tobacco, he said:
"'Ain't the heat terrible, boss? I
half believe your sharpenin' stone'll be
broke by the time you get back to the
end of the field. It was bendin' nearly
double with the heat of the sun as I
came by.'"?Washington Star. %
"Drugs Is Drugs."?The writer took
a doctor's prescription to the drug ,
Btr.ro trt hr.vo it filled. Ill Some way I
this piece of i?aper became torn in j
half, so that when the patron handed ;
the druggist the first piece, that public ,
servant at once measured out the am-. (
monia salt it called for and placed the ]
small vial before his customer.
"How much?" asked the patron.
"Ten cents."
"Oh, beg pardon!" said the purchas- ,
er, at this juncture finding the remainder
of the prescription in his pocket.
"This piece says to add enough water (
to the other to make four ounces."
"Very well," rejoined the apothecary,
dumping the contents of the small vial
into a four-ounce bottle and adding
the required water. "There you are, ,
sir, 40 cents more, please." (
"What! 10 cents for ammonia and ,
40 cents for the water?"
"Exactly. The doctor's name writ- ,
ten after the water makes it a prescription,
and we put up no prescriptions
under 50 cents."?Judge's Library. ,
Would Run No Risk.?Mrs. Crestfield's
telephone bell rang the other
evening, and, putting the receiver to
her ear, she heard the voice of an intimate
friend at the other end of the line
talking excitedly.
"Oh, Mrs. Crestfield," said the voice,
"Isn't It dreadful? My little Ann has
diphtheria!"
"How awful!" was the response.
"Is she in the house?"
"Of course," replied the voice. "I
have a trained nurse for her."
"If she is in the house," said Mrs.
Crestfield, "I must ask you to hang up
the receiver at once. I have small
children of my own, you know, and
diphtheria is so contagious. I don't
want to seem unsympathetic, l?ut I
will not run any risks!"?New York
Times.
Hunter and Hunted?A near-sighted
sportsman strolled into a little hotel on
the shores of Loch Carmn, and eomplai.ing,
said: ' Just seen a seal, shot
at it three times, and missed i? each
time."
At dinner an hour later he sat next
to a tourist who had a bandage round
his head.
"Had an accident?" asked the sportsman.
"Accident," growled the other. "Attempted
murder, you mean. I was
having a hath about an hour ago,
when some lunatic with a gun fired at
me three times from the shore and
shot part of my ear off. I don't know
why such animals are allowed out
without a license."
Then silence reigned supreme.?London
Telegraph.
Wanted a Day Off.?A certain scientist
in the government service is said
to he a hard taskmaster to both his official
and his domestic servants, says
the Syracuse Journal.
Heine detailed once to accompany a
scientific expedition on an extended
cruise, the scientist is said ti> have unbent
a triile in comnmnieatint? the
news to his personal attendant.
"Henry," said he. "how would you i
like to go with me around the world?"
"Do we go from east to west, sir?"
asked the man.
"We da."
"And we lose a day Koing that way,
do we not, sir?"
"We do."
"Then. sir. I should like very much !
to go. It would give me a day off."

Rock Hill Herald, July 22: Mr.
"Dick" Prennan, who had a very narrow
escape from death about ten days

into the laundry wagon in which he
was riding and who has been receiving
treatment at the Kennell infirmary,
continues to improve. He has been sitting
up for several days past, but only
a few hours at a time. His hack, which
was so badly bruised, is healing nicely.
Mr. Sides, the young man who
fell from the Southern Power company's

for hitching purposes A pleasant
visitor to the Gazette office yesterday,
was Mr. Lorenzo Beam of Comanche,
Tex., who left Gaston county fortythree
years ago to begin life in the
T?ne Star State and is now back on
his first vijlt within that time to his
many relatives in this county. Mr.
Ream has four brothers living in the
county. Messrs. H. S., G. F., M. L. and
P. S. Ream, and four sisters, Mrs.
George Sellers, Mrs. Andrew Sellers,
Mrs. Sarah Stroup and Miss Maggie
Ream. Mr. Ream's wife, who was Miss
Emma Mauney, a daughter of John
Mauney, has been dead about five
years. Mr. Ream has eleven living
children residing in five states: Texas,
Arkansas. Missouri, Oklahoma and
California. Mr. Ream seems to bo enjoying
very much his visit to the
scenes of his boyhood and young manhood.
although he states that very few
of the landmarks of the sixties are now
recognizable to him Recently the
Gazette has made mention of the fact
that there has for some time been a
growing sentiment among the farmers
owning and cultivating farms along
Crowder's creek favoring the dredging
of this stream and the drainage of
hundreds of acres of valuable lands
which are now useless. The discussion
of this important matter has been going
on quietly for some time with the
result that a majority of the land owners
on Crowder's creek have come to a
realization of the fact that their lands
can be reclaimed and again made fertile
by the dredging of the creek bed
and the consequent drainage of the
bottom lands. As a result of this discussion
and some investigating by interested
parties, a meeting will be held
Saturday. July 30th, at 1 o'clock p. m.,
at Pleasant Ridge for the purpose of
going further into detail, exchanging
ideas and probably organizing to do
something definite. The proposition to
he discussed relates to the dredging of
Crowder's creek between Raker's mill
and Riddle's mill, there being a dam at
each of these places. Between these
two points there are hundreds of acres
of land which, in the past few years
have become valueless so far as pro
ductiveness is concerned. Tlie lieu oi
the creek has filled up and the water
has overflowed over a large expanse of
territory. Concerted action on the part
of those who are directly interested can
be made to result in a saving of thousands
of dollars worth of property and
in the increase of the production of
cotton, corn, wheat and farm products
of other kinds in this immediate territory.
It is hoped that every farmer
living on Crowder's creek between Baker's
and Riddle's mills will be present
at the Pleasant Ridge meeting. This
matter is of such importance that any
farmer can afford to lay aside bis work
for half a day and attend.

HIS FAITH IN LENA.
Trainer Risked His Life on Intelligence
of Big Beast.
"My elephants are more kind and
more dependable, I believe, than any
others in captivity," remarked Mr.
Powers, trainer of the elephants at the
hippodrome, as he tossed a lump of
loaf sugar into the mouth of Big Lena.
"I have as great confidence in my elephants
as I have in my best friend. I
positively know that I can depend upon
them. As an example, let me tell
you of an incident that occurred in
New York while we were playing at
the hippodrome there. You saw the big
elephant which walks over me. You
know she also kneels on all four legs
when she is directly over my body, and
that she sinks her S.OOfl pounds until it
touches my clothes, then rises again.
If she were to continue her descent
while I am on the ground, pinioned by
her two legs on each side, 1 would be
carried from the ring with every bone
in my body broken.
"I had a friend in New York, an
elephant owner and trainer, and a good
one, who was deeply interested in my
herd. (Hie day, by way of boast, 1
made him a wager that even with his
knowledge of elephants lie could not
induce Lena to lower her body an inch
after she had gone just so far. At first
he refused to try tin- experiment for
fear he might be successful, but we
went to the stables and I placed myself
on a pile of straw, which was
euougll mi 1 ,ei ill. nnv ivm n >\ooi 11 u i\

"Then sht> started -r descent. TTp
t<> this point it had ail appeared funny
to me, hut as I looked at the massive
liodv of the heast direetlv over me,
I
ami as my friend, whom I knew to lie
tin A-Xo. 1 elephant man, I must confess
that his orders to Lena to drop
sounded more like a death sentence
to me than anything I ever hope to
hear again. I knew Lena understood
him and I knew that he was doing his
host, hut I had made the hluff, and I
was game.
"Lena sank slowly?so slowly it
seemed an age to me?for hy this time
I wasn't quite so confident. I could
see that the elephant was understanding
my murderous friend. Her hody
ouched my clothes. She stopped. 'On
lown!' 'On down!' shouted her tem?orary
master, and he jaldted her tinier
her trunk with the prod. She sank
t little, and a vain and again. I had
>egun to feel pinched, and was about
o surrender to save my life when
ludde.nly I.ena stopped. She had gone
he limit, and I really believe the big
east would have submitted to being
ihot before she would have dropped an
itch lower, for my friend was doing
verything he knew, but to no avail. J

A Voice From Virginia
WM. C. Camp, Vice-President
THE AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK
Richmond, Va.,
May 4. 1910.
Mr. Frank Crews. Agency Supervisor,
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance CoRichmond,
Va.
Dear Sir:?
It gives me pleasure to state that the
$15,000 policy which I have in the Mutual
Benefit Life Insurance Company is
the best policy that I have. I am carrying
a large amount of insurance in a
number of other companies, but I like
none of them so well as the Mutual
Benefit. Its contract is simple and fr< e
from restrictions, and my only regret
is that I did not take out my insurance
at a younger age, for it would now all
he paid up. Every young man should
begin to take life insurance early in
life. In my mind there is nothing he
could do that would be more helpful to
him from a business standpoint, because
this action on his part carries
with It the idea that he is beginning to
develop some of those sterling finalities
such as forethought, prudence, and
a high regard for obligations which are
necessary to make a good business
man. In making a loan from a bank,
there is no better collateral than a Mutual
Benefit policy, with its liberal cash
and loan values.
Wishing you and your Company
much success, I am,
Very truly yours,
Wm. C. Camp.
The above is typical of scores and
hundreds of endorsements of the Mutual
Benefit by the most successful and
prominent business and professional
men in all parts of the United States.
You will be just as well pleased as is
Mr. Camp in case you join the ranks
of the grand old Company.
