Checkmate.
The clerk in the general store in
one of the seaport villages of Connecticut
was the checker champion. He
couhl beat all the regulars who hung
about, and there were some good
players among them.
One day a little weather-beaten
man came in and watched the clerk
clean up a villager six times handrunning.
At the close of the sixth
game the old man asked: "What is
that there game you air playin*?"
"Checkers," said the clerk. "Checkers.
A game of skill and brains.
Don't you know it?"
The old man shook his head.
"Come on." invited the clerk; "I'll
show you. It's a great game. It's
easy to learn:" and he winked at the
hangers-on.
The little man was willing. They
sat down and the clerk explained the
theory and won the first game so
easily that everybody laughed. The
clerk took the second game, but not
so easily.
"You're doin' fine." encouraged the
clerk. "Try another."
The clerk won this one. but just by
a pinch. "Great!" he said to his opponent.
"You will be quite a checker
pluyer after a while, but I'll say to
you that I hain't bin playin' my best
game. Now I'll set 'em again, and I'll
show you some real checker playin'.
It's your move."
The little man studied a minute,
made an opening and then went systematically
to work and beat the clerk
in jigtime. The clerk insisted on another
game and was defeated even
more decisively. The little man put
it all over him for seven more games.
Then the clerk, no longer the -checker
champion of the South Shore, said
angrily: "I thought you said you
didn't know this game."
^? /alio,. ronliprl the little
man. "I bin whalin' outen this water
for forty-two year, and whalin* up
north, at that. Twenty-seven of them
years I spent frozen fast to the ice.
What do you suppose I did frozen up
there all them twenty-seven years?"?
Saturday Evening Post.
The Boy Knew.
Dr. J. M. Buckley, the well-known
editor and divine, addressing a New
York City Sunday school, related an <
incident that greatly interested the i
children. He told of meeting a ragged,
hungry-looking little girl in the
street on a wintry day, and when he i
questioned her she recited a pitiful 1
tale of a sick mother and younger (
brothers and sisters without food. <
After giving her a silver dollar the 1
good doctor followed at a safe distance j
to see what she would do with the
money. 1
"Now, children, what do you sup- 1
pose was the first thing she bought [
with that dollar?" said Dr. Buckley. .
"Hands up!" <
Up went the hands, and one child 1
after another ventured a guess, but ,
none proved correct. Finally a little I
boy whose upraised hand alone re- '
malned was asked for his answer to j
the question. i
"A basket," he sang out.
"Correct." said the doctor: "there's J
a boy who thinks. Now. son. come ,
up here on the platform and tell us '
why you think it was a basket." <
After considerable coaxing the boy
reached the platform, but seemed unwilling
to talk. "Go on," urged the i
doctor. "I want these boys and girls j
to learn to think, too."
The boy still hesitated, and Dr.
Buckley took from his pocket a silver I
quarter. "I'll give you this." he said,
"if you'll tell us what makes you think ,
the little girl bought a basket first." I
"Be-be-cause," stammered the
youngster, at last moved by the sight ;
of the money. "I was over in Hoboken
last Sunday and heard you tell the '
story there."?Harper's Magazine.
Motherly Care.
The judge of the juvenile court,
ed searchingly from the discreet and
leaning forward in his chair, lookvery
ragged piccaninny before his desk
to the ample and solicitous form of
the culprit's mother. "Why do you
send him to the railroad yards to
pick up coal?" demanded his honor.
"You know it is against the law to
send your child where he will be in
jeopardy of his life."
"'Deed, jedge, I doesn't send 'im:

interrupted the judge, impatiently.

but kept a conciliatory eye for
the judge.
"You burn the coal he brings, do
you not?" persisted the judge.
"Hums it?burns it?cose I burns
it. W'y jedge. I has to git it out ol>
de way."
"Why don't you send him back with
it?" His honor smiled insinuatingly
as he rasped out the question.
"Send 'im back, jedge!" exclaimed
the woman, throwing up her hands
in a gesture of astonishment. "Send
'im back! W'y. jedge. ain't yo' jest
told me I didn't oughter send my chile

Jim's Diplomacy.
Harry Laughliu. the billiard expert,
says the Cleveland Header, told at an
exhibition game in Toledo a billiard
story. "Once, when I had my own
parlor in Columbus." he said. "I was
a good deal disturbed by the loss of
chalk. Chalk disappeared at a tremendous
rate, and I said to my helper
:
er. "Keep a better eye on the chalk.
Jim. I'm no millionaire."
"I know the gents wot pockets the
chalk. Mr. Laughlin." Jim said; "but
they're reg'lar customers. I guess
von wouldn'a want to offend 'em.
would you?"
"Well. n?>." I said: "I wouldn't. You
might give th?-m a gentle hint, though.
I'se your diplomacy."
"Jim. T found out later, used his
diplomacy that night, lie walked up
to one of my best patrons that had
just pocketed a piece of chalk, and
said:
"You're in the milk business, ain't
you. sir?"
"Yes. Why?" the patron asked.
"I thought so." said Jim. "from the
amount of chalk you carry away.
The boss likes enterprise, and he told
me to tell you that if you wanted a
bucket of water now and then you
could have one and welcome."
And She Knew.?A wise woman
once said that there were three fellies
of men which always amused her. The
first was climbing trees to shake the
fruit down, when, if they would wait
long enough, the fruit would fall itself.
The second was going to war to kill
each other, when, if they only waited,
they would die naturally, and the third
was that they should run after women,
when, if they did not do so. the women
would be sure to run after them.?

Chester Lantern, August 19: The
men in behind the movement for the
Chester county fair, which opens for
a inree uays mt-ei mi wiuun -..m,
are busy arranging the details for
the occasion. Tho fight for the retention
of the (\ & X. \V.. necessitated
a little delay in geiting together
the details for the fair, but now that
this work is about in shape the backers
of the county fair are going to
work with a vim and intend shortly
to give out the list of premiums and
publish the programme for the fair.
Kvery day. farmers in all sections of
the county are signifying their intention
to put on exhibits of their
farm products and the outlook is that
the Chester county fair is going to
beat all others in this part of the state.
The Yorkville Enquirer and the
Columbia Record are pulling The
State's trade with Ellerbe in 1898 on
that newspaper. In that year The
State made an agreement with Ellerbe
whereby the latter was to recommend
local option in his annual message
and then came out strongly for
his re-election, he being in the second
race with Featherstone, who was
running as a prohibitionist. After
the election Ellerbe broke his agreement
with The State and recommended
tne retention of the dispensary
and for this was denounced as a liar
by The State. The Columbia Record
reprinted all these campaign editorials
the other day and they make mighty
interesting reading. This will tend
to weaken the effect of the opposition
of The State to the candidacy of
Featherstone this year The Misses
Pryor are delightfully entertaining
a congenial party of young people at
their lovely home on Saluda street.

Gaffney Ledger, August 19: Last
Wednesday a stranger with hoary
locks and unsprightly gait was to be
seen upon our streets. He walked
about and looked in a bewildering
manner at the changes wrought by
time, reminding one of the story of
Rip Van Winkle. He was none uther
than Mr. Lee Armstrong, who lived
in the Gowdeysville section of this
county (then Union) away back yonder
in the '6U's. In 1871 Mr. Armstrong
left this section for parts unknown
because of his activities in Kukluxing
and this was his first visit
since then?nearly forty years ago. He
was on his way to the reunion. There
was no Gaffney then?nothing that
:ould be called a town. There was a
?ross roads, and a few houses at Limestone
and a store or two. Mr. Armstrong
was impressed with the wonderful
development which had taken
place. He met many old acquaintances
?men who lived in this section at
that time, but who have since moved
to Gaffney and helped to build the
town. Mr. Armstrong served in the war
four years. There was four brothers,
three beside himself, and all three
were killed in battle Dr. Ferguson's

Gastonia Gazette, August 19: It is
all over but the shouting. All the
towns bidding for the location of the
Carolina & North-Western Railway's
shops have sent in their offers and
the same were opened by General
Manager L. T. Nichols this morning.
Hickory, Lincolnton, Chester and Gastonia
are on the anxious seat awaiting
the announcement of the decision
of the officials of the road. It may
be several weeks before their decision
is rendered. In the meantime Gastonia
is sitting steady in the boat,
harboring a sure feeling that the shops
will come to Gastonia. General Manager
Nichols was in Gastonia yesterday
and at the request of the committee
having in charge the formulation
of an offer met with them and
a body of representative citizens in
the Commercial Club rooms. He was
plied with questions and gave out
what information of a non-committal
nature lie could. He stated that the
propositions of the several towns
would be opened today and that, so
far as he was concerned, these propositions
were final; in other words,
there will be no chance to raise bids.
He also stated that it would be necessary
for the several sites to be surveyed
before a decision could be made.
When this has been done Mr. Nichols
will lay the propositions before
President W. A. Harber of New York,
and recommend the location of the
shops at some one of the four contesting
points. As yet Gastonia does
not know just what the other three
towns have offered. Gastonia's offer
includes, among other items, the following:
A free site; exemption from
taxes for five years; free water and
lights for five years; cheap electric
power; a cash bonus of several thousand
dollars. In addition to the above
Gastonia gives the road considerably
more business than any other town
011 its line and has promise of larger
developments in the future possibly
than any other town on the road,
From every standpoint it is believed
that Gastonia is without doubt the
place for the shops and our people
feel confident that they will be located

SHADOWS.
The Superstition and Folklore of
Shades.
The mysterious counterpart of a
human being which lengthens with
i the clay and disappears with the sun,
to reappear more faintly with the ris,
ing of the moon, which we call a
shadow, has always struck the imag'
iuation of man. It has played a
prominent part in primitive superstition
and in later folklore. It has en|
tered largely into the Imaginery of
many races. "What shadows we are;
what shadows we pursue," was the
memorable exclamation of a dying
, statesman. Shadows or shades was
<>to??lf.3l tmmo or tieine for the
: spirits of tin' departed which still remains
in use. This idea is not con,
fined to civilized races. Anions the
Zulus the spirit is the shade. Bishop
Gallaway, whose knowledge of Zulu
beliefs and modes of thought was unrivalled.
says that the Zulus connect
. the bodily shade with the future disembodied
spirit. They believe that
the shadow cast by the body will ultimately
become the "itongo," or
spirit, when the body dies, and they
say that the long shadow shortens "as
a man approaches his end and contracts
into a very little thing. When
they see the shadow of a man thus
contracting they know he will die.
The long shadow goes away when a
man is dead, and it is that which Is
meant when it is said. 'The shadow
has departed.' " There is, however,
a short shadow which remains with
the body and is buried with it. The
long shadow becomes an ancestral
spirit. Another Zulu idea is exemplified
when a friend has gone out
to fight and those who remain behind
are anxious about him. They
take his sleeping mat and stand it
upright in the sun. If it throws a
long shadow he is stiil living. If a
short one or none at all he is dead.
The mortality about the hour of noon
must be very heavy!
Identification of the shadow in any
mysterious or spiritual way with the
person whose body casts it naturally
leads to respect for the strange second
self. To tread on the shadow of a
chief is an insult to the enter nimseir.
In the institutes of Manu. the ancient
Hindu lawgiver, the law runs: "Let
him not intentionally pass over the
shadow of sacred images, of a natural
or spiritual father, of a king, of a
Brahmin who keeps house or of any
reverend personage, nor of a red
haired or copper colored man, nor
of one who his just performed a sacrifice."
The red haired man is for
once in excellent company. There
are traces of the survival of these
primitive ways of regarding a man's
shadow in the English country feeling
that it is unlucky to cross the path
of a newly married man as he leaves
the altar, and in another rural belief
that it is unlucky to cross the path
of horses ploughing when the sun is
shining behind them.
Association between shadows and
mirrored representations of the human
forms is obviously natural, so it
is not surprising to find superstitions
about the shadow mingled with widely
scattered versions of the Narcissus
legend. The story of the beautiful
youth who became enamored .of his
own image as he saw it represented
in the water and languished thereafter
till he died has its origin in the
belief that trouble follows from beholding
the watery image. "Do not
look at your face in a river," says
Pythagoras. "Let him not look at
his own image in water; that is a
settled rule," commands Manu, the
Hindu lawgiver. The reason for the
Jo f a ha fnnnd ill t hP bp
|-l .MIIUIIUM. ....
liefs of a man in a primitive state of
civilization. The Melanesians of the
Pacific, says a learned observer, say:
"There is a stream in Saddle Island,
or rather a pool in a stream, into
which if any one looks he dies: the
malignant spirit takes hold upon his
life by means of his reflection in the
water." Some such idea as this was
probably the root of the Narcissus legend.
The Zulus explain why it is ill >
to look into the water of a pool by a
story of a great beast in the water
which can seize the shadow of a man,
and when his shadow is gone a man
no longer wishes to turn back, but
desires to enter the pool. He goes in,
dies and is eaten by the great beast
which inhabits it. So says Bishop
Callaway, "men are forbidden to lean
over and look into a dark pool, it being
feared that their shadow should
be taken away."
There are other ways in which a
man may lose his shadow. There was
a Temple of Jupiter in Arcadia which
if entered by those who were forbidden
to do so robbed them of their
shadows. In the north of Scotland
there are some quaint legends of folk
who lost their usual attendant. In
Sutherland they tell more than one
story of a wizard named Donald-Duvnl
McKay. Donald went to a school
in Italy where the black art was
taught by the devil, who sat in the
professor's chair and at the end of
each term claimed as his own the last
scholar to depart. Breaking up at
this academy was naturally a scramble,
none wishing to be last. On one
occasion Donald was really the last,
but just as the devil was about to
seize him the resourceful Donald
pointed to his own shadow, which fell '
behind him. saying, "Take thou the
hindmost!" Accordingly, his shadow
was seized while he himself escaped,
and after his return to Scotland he
was never seen to have a shadow! A
companion illustration of "de'il tak
the hinmost," from Aberdeenshire, is
a story of a witch helped laird watching
his reapers whose shadow was
seized by Satan and who was ever afT?

SHIP CAPTAIN IS A CZAR.
His Word Is Law Aboard His Vessel
and None Dare Dispute It.

1 town marshal of a village of 3,SftO population.
stepping out into the street
and on general and self-imposed authority
picking up a citizen, ordering
him to a cell and clapping irons on
him for safe keeping.
Wouldn't the bird of American lib1
erty set tip a scream? Wouldn't the
| old and badly cracked liberty hell resonate
in discord? And remember that
i in this seizure of the American citizen
; no friend at hand could come forward
and offer and impose the right of bond
for his friend. You'd cry out something
about Russia, wouldn't you?
You'd say something about anarchy,
, perhaps?
Just at this season when so much of
1 American manhood and womanhood
, ami childhood is going abroad it is well
for all of them to think over this
proposition. For niter one m tne great

< great Atlantic liner on the high seas.
He is on an island of his country's
ownership a Moating island, having a
population of sun employes and looking

izatioii. Aside from his authority over
i mankind he may have $7,000,0110 of vessel
under him. to say nothing of the
international mails and millions in gold
in transshipment.
1 Shall one wonder that the passenger
of position and place in his particular
1 portion of the world's map seeks and
appreciates a place "at the captain's
table?" For. after till, the average
; world appreciates tin autocrat, fjive to
this autocrat a man's framework, an
appreciation of his powers, a dress
that becomes his power and dignity
and even American liberty cheers tit
sight of him.
"There's the captain," is a whispered
bit of comment made a million
time's a year in the beginning of the
passages of great ocean steamships.
And generally the captain looks the
part.
It is not so much his uniform, either.
ordinarily the captain is not
young. There is gray in his hair, mustache
<>r beard. That young man in his
twenties, no matter what his schooling
for beginning the work, isn't called
at a moment's notice to the captain's
bridge. He must have his maximum of
training for six or seven numbers before
he is called to the foot of the ladder.
On the British passenger vessels
most of the beginners at navigating an
ocean vessel of the tirst-class will have
had a lieutenant's commission from the
navy. It is from the royal navy reserves
that the lowest officer's vacancy
is tilled. Killing it, he has his chance to
rise iii tbc niisitiiin iif cantum.
With the growth of the world's shipping
and its naval armaments, the
"trails" of the Atlantic greyhounds
have been charted?by the compass.
But even with wireless service there
may be little in the dark and fog and
storm and spray to chart the tramp
steamer?the occasional sailing vessel,
a hundred days out of port in the antipodes
and three weeks more between
it and home?the iceberg floating silently
with only a tenth of its ice cap
projecting from the black water or
out of the dense fog?the abandoned
hulk, water-soaked and drifting derelict
with winds and tides?these are
some of the uncharted things that the
captain of the giant passenger steamer
must consider.
His vessel has left no water trace
behind it. There are no water trails
ahead. And when he may have stood
upon the bridge in storm for 24 to 3fi
hours, sleepless, shall one wonder that
the strain upon steel nerves Is written
early in his face and hair?
Midnight of July 3, when in a fog
the White Star Baltic struck the German
oil steamer Standard, the Baltic
needed its captain and he was there.
His ship carpenters were rushed t<> the
how of the vessel and began the work
of patching up the hole in the Baltic's
steel sheating. Two hours the Hal tic
rolled in a heavy swell and no answer
came, 1.000 miles out from Fire Island,
that in the wide wastes of fog and water
was a vessel to come to the Baltic's
aid.
Suppose that in a stampede of the
Baltic's crew its employes had rushed
11P to fill its boats? It was within the
captain's power to have shot down the
leader?to have brought about war to
the knife, revolver and rille in the interests
of his vessel and its passengers.
Or had some passenger or passengers
become panicstrickeu and against orders
menaced the welfare of the majority
on the ship, death would have
been dealt with the same rigid d ;cipline
which requires of the captain
that he be the autocrat at his post.
There are no forms of writs or warrants
necessary. There is no court at
which the passenger or the seaman
may give bond. In that instant of sudden
great emergency which arises the
captain's word is more than written
law; it is the unwritten common law
of the high seas, in the spirit of which
the vigilance committee of the wild
west of the United States rose, lawlessly
lawful.
Today the captain of the great liner
may step into the palatial cabin and
command order. He may go into the
smoking cabin and stop the game of
cards at which the sharper is playing
for his stakes. In case of refusal, that
ancient land right of "no deprivation
of liberty without due process of law"
becomes a farce. The ce'.lroom or even
the iron manacles of the captain's authority
may be used upon the individual
who has paid $.riOO or $1,000 for his
suit of rooms and his passage. On the
high seas the captain's ship becomes
an autocratic democracy. The individual
in the first cabin and at the
captain's table must share with the
immigrant, far below, those equities
that are granted to each in his place.
"Don't buck the captain," said an
official in the offices of a great steamship
line "He is all there is of authority.
He is the supreme entity of his
ship. He is dressed for it, but, more
than that, he is trained to it. He is
empowered to take life, if he must,
and on land this is tin- most serious of
all things in the statute books.
"But as the old captain nears the
shore you may see some of the dignity
and iron poise begin to ooze. The
harbor light and the floating buoy
marking the channel are affecting him.
"That day after his landing and getting
into his street clothes?why, if
you are acquainted with him, slap him
on the back and you'll get a smile that
is worth its shining on your face."
"Commodore of the fleet" is one of
the offices toward wnien me oiu sea
captain looks, not enviously?not with
disdain. It is a naval number in the
passenger service which marks the age
of retirement. In the Cunard service,
for example, Captains John Pritchard
and J. B. Watt have passed on to the
position. Captain R. C. Warr is the
present active man for the position.
"Commodore of the lleet?" There is
honor in the title. It does not descend
to his children. He gives half his life
to the gaining of it. And it means
that his activities and powers are at an
end.?Chicago Tribune.
