' "Proof of the Pudding."
A group of negroes stood in front
Of a little grocery store in a country
town, admiring the display of "watermilyune"
lying out on the platform.
For a while they discussed the tine
points of the different "milyuns," and
finally the argument settled into
whether or not one man could eat
the biggest melon In the pile, which
weighed about twenty-flve pounds.
While this discussion was going on. a
long lank darky joined them.
"What yo'-all disputln' about?" he
inquired.
"We's Jest argyin'," replied one,
^whether or not one man could eat
that there mllyun all by hisself."
"Shucks," boasted the newcomer,
"I could eat that milyun, and It
wouldn't be a snack."
A white man, who had overheard
the remarks turned to the long, lank
darky.
"Why, you fool nigger," he said,
"you know you couldn't eat all that
melon at one time! I'll bet you can't"
"Whet yo' bet?" asked the darkey.
5j "I'll tell you what I'll do," proposed
the white man. "If you'll eat It all,
I'll pay for it; but if you don't you
pay for It"
The negro was a little cautious.
"What does that milyun cost?" he
asked the storekeeper, who had sauntered
out on the platform. It was
priced 26 cents. The darkey scratched
his head in doubt for a minute.
"I'll tell you what I'll do, boss," he
kid to the white man. 'If yo'-all
lemme go down to my house a little
bit I'll tell yo' whether I kin eat
that milyun. I won't be gone more'n
five or ten minutes."
' The white man consented, and in
about ten minutes the negro returned
and announced his readiness to
take tne wager.
He ate the melon, scraped the rind
and drank the Juice.
"Well, you sure win," said the white
man, In admiration for his capacity.
"But now I would like to know why
you went down to your house."
"I done It all right, ain't I?" said
the negro, a little uneasily.
"You certainly have," assured the
white man. "You have won. But I
Just wanted to know from curiosity
why you went to the house."
1 "Well, I'll tell yo* boss. Us niggers
ain't got no money to lose, and I wanted
to be sure. I had a milyun about
this size down to my house, and I
knowed if I could eat it, I could eat
this one. So I went home and tried
it"?Judge.
How They Work?"There are many
people in this world who make a fine
display but who fall down when it
comes to practical knowledge," is the
verdict of Helen Lowell, in "Kiss Me
Quick."
"For instance," says Miss Lowell,
"two commercial travelers while in a
train got into an argument over the
action of the vacuum break.
"-It's the inflation of the tube that
stopa the train,' declared the first
traveler.
" 'Wrong, wrong!' shouted the second.
'It's* the output of the exhaustion.'
"Then, when the train arrived at the
station, they agreed to submit the
matter for settlement to the engineer.
That gentleman, leaning condescendingly
from his cab, listened with
an attentive frown to the two travelers'
statement of their argument
Then he smiled, shook his head aand
said:
" 'Well, gents, ye're both wrong
about the workln' of the vacuum
breaks. Yet it's very simple and
easy to understand. When we want
to stop the train we just turn this
valve and then we fill the pipe with
vacuum.'"
Trouble in Store.?Miss Christie
MacDonald believes strongly in the
value of a sense of humor and tells a
story to illustrate its power to lighten
even the worst adversity, says Young's
Magazine.
"They were two newly arrived emigrants,
and, having wandered far
from the paths of civilization, had fallen
Into the hands of a dusky savage
chief. The day after their capture
their captor ordered them to go and
gather fruit.
"In due time, the first returned,
bearing a plentiful supply of grapes.
" 'What bringest thou ?' asked the
chief.
" 'Grapes, guv-nor.'
. " 'Then swallow them whole.'
A peal of discordant laughter
greeted this order, and the chief
frowned. !
" 'Why do you laugh?" he growled.
" 'Sorry, guv-nor,' apologized the
prisoner, wiping his streaming eyes,
and striving to smother his convulsive
chuckles. 'I was just thinking of my
poor old pal, Tommy. He's bringing
cocoanuts." "
Little Fishee.?Some of the party in !
the clubroom were swapping fish
stories, and of course, the size of the
talk was all out of proportion to the
size of the fishes. Finally Charles
Kenyon, the playwright smiled:
"Reminds me," he explained, according
to the Philadelphia Ledger,
"of a fishing party down in Florida.
"One afternoon three of the fellows)
went out and the biggest thing they
caught was about four inches long.
This, however, was no damper on
tneir nappiness, ana 10 everyuuuy mcy
proudly exhibited their catch.
" 'By the way,' said a charming
young lady to whom the string was
shown, 'fishes go in schools don't
they?'
" 'Yes, certainly,' answered the happy
fisherman. 'Why do you ask?'
" 'Merely a fancy of mine,' sweetly
responded the young lady. 'I was
thinking that you must have broken
up the Infant class."

pous chief Justice was presiding at the
trial of a celebrated murder case. An
aged negro had been ruthlessly killed,
and the only eye-witness to the murder
was a very small negro boy. When
he was called to give his testimony j
, . _ the lawyer for the defense objected on
,the ground that he was too young
to know the nature of an oath, and in
examining him, asked:
"What would happen to you if you
told a lie?"
"De debbll 'ud git me!" the boy replied.

"Yes, and I'd get you," sternly
said the chief Justice.

THE DIRGE OF DOUBT
It Unnerves, Unfits, Blasts and Destroys.
I am Doubt, daughter of Darkness.
Fear, cowardice and bigotry, and prejudice
I suckle at my poisoned breasts.
My black wings cloak the sun and
hide the rainbow.
I feed upon tne neans 01 men ?nu
drain the courage from their veins.
When genius weaves Its tapestries of
dreams, my vandal talons rip the pattern
from the hopeful fabric.
I dog the footsteps of ambition and
hurl adventure from the heights of empires.
I break the wings of glory and I steal
the chaplet from the brow of fame.
"I scrawl "impossibility" upon the
guide posts of success.
I strew the highways to the stars
with barriers of Incredulity.
I drfp my venon In the sweet wine of
faith.
I block the vision of the soul with
false mirages and make horizons seem
impenetrable walls.
When progress urges daring to the
fore, I counsel discouragement.
When valor's trumpets sound the
charge, I plead the adverse chance and
drag the weak-willed to the rear.
I brewed the hemlock for the illustrious
Socrates.
I built the cross for Christ on Calvary.
I drove the stake for Joan of Arc.
I lit the fagots for the witches of Salem.
I led the mob that stoned Columbus,
and I forged the chains in which he
died.
Brainless, I cannot reason; I therefore
hate and destroy all that I do not
comprehend.
Where I tread, wreck and intolerance
follow.
Tear oft my mask and look well in
my face?I am Ignorance.
Learning is my hereditary foe. I perish
before the lamp of knowledge.
Year by year I retreat into the west.
My sun has set. My hour wanes. Civilization
is hard upon my flank's,
The printed word, the wired lamp,
the talking disc, the lightning voice,
the dynamo, the mlscroscope, the ship
of the winds, the healing knife, are my
conquerors.
As I flee, humanity and justice blossom
behind me and millennium descends
the Hills of Dawn.
Golden Ages are trickling in the
sands of time?men have begun to believe
in man.
God's voice is heard above the babble
of chicanery, the sophistry of purblind
creeds, the bitter preachments of the
cruel.
There is no reverence of the Maker
greater than confidence in His clay.
Doubt must die when men boldly use
their minds.?Herbert Kaufman.
Assassination.?Democracy affords
many new and strange kinds of experience;
it is well if the people themselves
will observe and analyze these
experiences; it is in public life to apply
such observations to himself
whenever he can.
If republics are ungrateful to their
great men, then it may be said that
a democracy is cruel; perhaps that is
one of the peculiarities by which a
democratic form of government is preserved
to its people.
There is one striking peculiarity of
our democratic country, and that is
the nonchalant way we have of assassinating
public characters. Any man
may prove for himself the existence
of this condition in this country, in
the political life of every town, coun-!
try and state there are innumerable
examples of recent record which may
be studied with profit.
Let a man but raise his head from
the commonplace paths of honest and
able industry or the fruit thereof and
most immediately, and as by a concerted
understanding, the character
assassin's knife flashes into play. From
that moment on, a man's peace and
sleep are gone. Let him but have the
barest shadow of a past indiscretion
in his life and the other nine hundred
and ninety-nine citizens in every
thousand will be made' to know It In
its most lurid details; and such is human
nature that the great majority of
us, especially in a democracy, are ever
ready to assist without thought or direct
motive in the decapitation of a
political victim.?PulLtezer Magazine.

? Manning Times; One of the largest
rattlesnakes ever killed in this
section was killed by Mr. Tom Johnson
yesterday afternoon at the intersection
of Nyboo and Sammy Swamp.
Mr. Johnson was looking after the
timber in these two swamps, and as
he reached the point where the two
swamps meet a monster snake sprang
at him from a low bush, and partially
wrapped itself about one of his
legs. He kicked himself loose and
managed to get a piece of a limb,
with which he belabored the reptile
until he was dead. The snake measured
alx feet, seven inches In length,
and fourteen inches in circumference.
Mr. Johnson was not injured, except
badly frightened.
