"Did you always go to Sunday school?" "I never missed a Sunday." "Did you ever do what your parents told you not to do?" "1 am glad to say that I never did." "Didn't you ever make u fuss v. hen you had to take a bath?" "I should say not. I always took my batn without complaining. I liked it." "Didn't it ever make you mad to be called in to do something for your mother when you would rather stay out and play with the other boys?" "It always gave me the keenest pleasure to do things for my mother, no matter whether I had to stop playing or not" "And did you always speak respect fully to your parents?" "Always. That was one of the first things I ever learned to do." "Gee, what a liar grandpa is." Cried All the Time.?The conversation at a recent smokefest turned to the wonderful ways of the youngsters, when Congressman James T. Heflin. of Alabama was reminded of little Tommy's tears. Hearing a sound like fierce sobbing in the kitchen of her suburban home the other day, mother hastened to investigate and found Tommy deep in sobful distress. Close by stood Brother Jimmy two years older. "Jimmy," demanded the mother, i looking from one to the other, ; "what's the matter with your brother Tommy?" i "He is crying," explained Jimmy, "because I am eating my cake and won't give him any." "That's not nice." said mother, se verely. "Is his own cake finished?" "Yes, ma'am," answered Jimmy, ; "and he cried while I was.eatlng that. < too."?Philadelphia Telegraph.

"I cannot understand it at all," he ( said, as during a chat one day with ] an old hostler at the livery stables he had mentioned the fact. 1 "Let me see," said the latter, as a ] gleam of intelligence flitted across his t face, "ye hadvertised, I believe, for ] one as 'must be well acquainted with , the neighborhood,' didn't ye?" , "I did," replied the old gentleman, , shortly. "I want some one who knows , his way about." , "Ah, that explains It," was the an- . swer.

While inspecting some of the curious creatures in a city zoo the little girl's attention was attracted by one animal whose fur seemed to be rubbed off in spots.

An Honor Indeed.?A patronizing young lord was seated opposite a famous scientist at a dinner one evening not long ago.

If the same care had been used in the drawing of this plank that was used in the drawing of the plank on the merchant marine, it would have read as follows: 'We favor the exemption from toll of American ships engaged in coastwise trade passing through the canal but without imposing additional burdens upon the people and without bounties or subsidies from the public treasury.' Conditions Changed. "But even if the platform had not contained within itself a complete refutation of the position taken by the advocates of free tolls, the president would have been justified in the position that he took by the changed conditions which confronted him. A platform is a pledge and is as binding upon an official as the command of a "* la nnnn a on hnrH Injlfp Illill ia I y umtci 10 U pun a ?the statement cannot be made stronger. But the subordinate officer is sometimes compelled to act upon his judgment where a change of which the commanding officer is not aware has taken place in conditions. It is not only the right of the subordinate to judge the situation for himself where conditions have changed since the order was given, but it is his duty to do so. In the case under consideration the president takes responsibility for an official act which he regards as necessary for his country's welfare, and the people must decide whether or not he is justified; and those who refuse to act with him also assume responsibility and they, too, must abide the judgment of the public. Such a change has taken place since the Baltimore platform was adopted. Had the Democrats in convention assembled been confronted by the condition which now exists ana had they known what those now know who voted for repeal, no such plank would ever have been placed in the platform. The convention's attention was not even brought to the fact that a majority of the Democrats in the house had voted against the free tolls measure and that it had in fact been passed by a combination of a minority of the Democrats and a majority of the Republicans." Should Act Jointly. Mr. Bryan says that platform planks dealing with international ' questions, must be accepted with the understanding "that we act Jointly with other nations in International affairs," that even if the plank had not been contradicted by another plank in the platform and even if it "had not concealed a subsidy policy . repugnant to Democratic principle and history," that even if conditions had not changed, a platform plank should be taken on international questions "as the expression of a wish rather than as the expression of a determination, for no nation can afford tn nurchase a small advantage in the face of a universal protest." "If a nation," continued the secretary', "desires to array itself against the world, it should be sure that the thing which it is to gain, is worth what it costd. The president, knowing that every commercial nation except 1 our own. construes the treaty as a pledge of equal treatment, would have been recreant to his trust had he failed to point out to the American people that our diplomatic relation would be seriously disturbed by the 1 carrying out of the free tolls policy." But Two Questions. Considering the repeal measure upon its merits, Mr. Bryan said there 1 were just two questions to be decided: "First, Is it desirable for the Democratic party to abandon its historic position and become the advocate of subsidies and bounties? And second, if it is desirable, what is the Democratic party willing to sacrifice in international prestige and world influence in order to secure the advantage which these subsidies promise to a few people?" MEXICAN SITUATION SERIOUS Huerta Must Salute or Take Consequences. President Wilson on Tuesday ordered virtually the entire Atlantic (ieet to Mexican waters to force a pub- , lie salute to the Stars and Stripes from the Huerta government as an apology for the arrest of American bluejackets at Tampico, last Thursday. No ultimatum has been issued, that is, no specified time has ben set within which the Huerta government must comply but the naval demonstration has been ordered as a concrete evidence of the determination of the United states to Daca up Aumuw Mayo's demand for a salute. Up to tonight General Huerta had not made satisfactory response to that demand. "Future developments depend on Huerta himself," was the way a high administration official close to the president summarized the situation. The decision to send the fleet was reached after the president and Secretary Bryan had conferred for an hour with John Lind, personal representative of the president in Mexico, and after a two hours' cabinet meeting, during which dispatches from Charge O'Shaughnessy revealed that the Huerta government disputed the ri^ht of American bluejackets to be ashore at Tampico, and contended that its recent public statement of apology was ample. Immediately after the cabinet meeting adjourned, Secretary Daniels issued his order to the Atlantic fleet and wireless messages flashed up and down the Atlantic coast to put the fleet under steam for Tampico. It will be the largest fighting force the American government has assembled for Dossible action since the Spanish-American war. Eleven great battleships, with auxiliaries, carrying about 15,000 men, will comprise the force off Tampico, Everywhere, at the White House, the state department and the navy department, the hope was expressed that tin* dispatch of the tleet would not lead to serious consequences and there was a confident prediction among administration officials that Huerta would satisfy the American demand and close the incident. Officials were careful to point out that negotiations with the Huerta government had not ended and that the way was still open to Gen. Huerta to make amends. Meanwhile the navy department sent complete instructions to Rear Admiral Badger, commander-in-chief of the Atlantic fleet, on board the battleship Arkansas at Hampton Roads. Rear Admiral Fiske, chief of the bureau of operations left here for the Roads, Tuesday night to convey personally to Admiral Badger the diplo matlc side of the situation, and dinpatches from Rear Admiral Mayo. Indicating the exact ships which will accompany Admiral Badger, the navy department Issued the follow, ing: Seven Battleships Sure. "Admiral Badger will take with him the battleships Arkansas, Louisiana, New Hampshire, Michigan, Vermont, New Jersey and South Carolina, which last ship has been intercepted on her way from Haiti to Hampton Roads. "The gunboat Tacoma now at Boston. Mass., has been ordered to Tampico by way of Newport, R. I.. The gunbout Nashville, now at Monte Christi, San Domingo, has been ordered to Guantanamo to coal and thence to Tampico. "The Rhode Island, Virginia and Georgia are now docking; it had not been decided yet whether they will join Admiral Badger's forces. ""L- * * TT 1 \TAur ine uuiiapuiL naiiLutn uu iicn Orleans for Tampico, last Tuesday with the tirst regiment of the expeditionary force of marines." The foregoing ships are in addition to the Utah, Connecticut, Minnesota, Des Moines, Chester, Dolphin and San Francisco at Tampico and the Florida and Prairie at" Vera Cruz. The torpedo boat flotilla at Pensacola, Florida, has been ordered to stand by for orders. The status of the case as summed up by cabinet officers and other officials was described as follows: "Assistant Paymaster Charles C. Copp and a boatload of jdckies landed at Tampico, last Thursday to obtain supplies. They were arrested, but later discharged. In accordance with regulations in all navies of the world Rear Admiral Mayo, on considering that an unwarranted arrest had been made, and that the uniform of the American navy had been disregarded, demanded reparation in the form of a salute of 21 guns. "The American flag, while not taken ashore, was flying at the stern of the whale boat and all the marines were in unuorm. near Auumai ?ia;u Allowed the Huerta commander until 6 o'clock that evening to fire a salute, but later extended the time to afford the local commander an opportunity to communicate with his superior officers in Mexico City. "A statement of apology was issued In Mexico City by General Huerta, and the officer who arrested the marines was ordered punished. This did not satisfy the United States government and the salute was insisted on. General Huerta himself at no time agreed to comply, dui an uuucr octretary in the Mexican foreign office did inquire of Charge O'Shaughnessy if a salute fired to the gunboat Dolphin and responded to by the American ship would be acceptable. This was emphatically rejected by the United States, and word was sent that nothing short of a public salute to the American flag would be satisfactory." BUILDER OF BILTMORE Vanderbilt's Service to the Southern States. The south owes an especial debt of gratitude to Mr. Vanderbilt as the builder of Biltmore, near Asheville, which has been an object lesson of value in many ways to southern people, says the Southern Lumberman. In conceiving and carrying out that splendid achievement Mr. Vanderbilt showed a true spirit of altruism that of itself affords proof that there is no good reason for the gulf that so fre quently exists between tne mun 01 money and the man of labor. Being in delicate health, he went to the beautiful Blue Ridge region of North Carolina and purchased thousands of acres of wild lands, upon which he planned an imposing estate. If he had built nothing but his palatial residence, conceded to be the finest country estate in America, there would be little occasion to comment upon his work. But Mr. Vanderbilt sought more than his own ease t.nd comfort. The town of Biltmore and the Forest school which he establish ed and maintained for so many years are something quite apart from the mere residence, palace though it is, of a beauty which has afforded enjoyment to thousands. In founding the village of Biltmore, Mr. Vanderbilt erected beautiful cottaues for his tenants, cottages that are sanitary in all respects, equipped with bath rooms, sewerage, water, electric lights, and, as the landlord would say, "all modern improvements and conveniences. He erected many industries to give the people profitable employment. He built modern schools. He provided parks and beauty spots throughout the village. He built a beautiful church and employed an able and cultured pastor. Not anywhere in the world has capital shown greater consideration for labor than Mr. Vanderbilt exhibited in Biltmore. In addition he laid out farms in the mountain valleys and stocked them with the finest cattle, sheep, poultry and hogs to be had in the world, and the farm houses erected were in all respects equal to the village homes in the matter of comfort and convenience even of elegance. Throughout the entire extent of the estate the nf roorlo woro pnnstrnptPfl a valuable object lesson at a time most needed to the people of the whole south. Xot many people realize that the establishment of this magnificent estate was a conception that came to Mr. Vanderbllt before he was of age. Before he had come into his great fortune he had already fixed upon the boundaries of the Biltmore estate, and soon after becoming of age, he made the purchase. The establishment of the Forestry school came a number of years later. Its long and successful conduct is a familiar story to the readers of this paper, and was referred to in a recent editorial. In connection with this undertaking Mr. Vanderbilt came into acquaintance with many southern lumbermen. If labor knows the joy of living anywhere, labor knows it in the vicinity of Biltmore. And the beauty of this is, Mr. Vanderbilt made it pay. The men who work in the Biltmore industries live in actual elegance at an extremely low cost. They obtain good wages. They enjoy the comforts and luxuries of civilization. Their children are being educated, and they have bank accounts. Their wives and children dress well and they attend the same church that the Vanderbilts attend. An injury to a dweller in Biltmore is always a matter of concern to the great house on the mountainside, and a misfortune to one brings swift sympathy from the gracious mistress of the palace, whose presence Is known in every sick chamber in the village. That was the lesson of George Vanderbilt's life. He proved that the brotherhood of man is possible. He showed that it pays to treat people as human beings and not like great brutes. His generous impulses were always in evidence, with the net result at the close of his life that "it pays." He made the lives of those with whom he was associated happy, contented and prosperous, and he made it pay. TOWNS AND STREAMS Many of Those in South Carolina Have Romantic Names. The story of the naming of the cities, rivers and other physical features of South Carolina abounds with romantic interest. The early English settlers transferred to the new country the names of their native towns and shires, as well as of their sovereigns. The Hrst Americans, the Indians, have bestowed many beautiful and distinctive place-names, notably in the cases of the streams. Many towns bear the names of their founders, while others have designations identified with the history of the United States. The origin of these place-names has been traced by the United States geological survey, with the assistance of the South Carolina Historical society. The state itself was first named for Charles IX, king of Prance, the later for Charles II, of England. Charleston was originally called Charles Town, in honor of Charles II, of England. Cninmhln is nne of the numerous geographical namesakes of the discoverer of North America. Greenville was named from its physical appearance. Spartanburg was so called from the rigorous (Spartan-like) self-discipline practiced by the inhabitants during the Revolutionary war. Anderson owes its name to Col. Robert Anderson, Revolutionary soldier. Sumter was also named for a Revolutionary officer, Gen. Thomas Sumter, for whom counties in Alabama, Florida and Georgia were also called. Union took its name from the Union church, on Brown Creek, near by. Abbeville was settled and named by immigrants from France for the French town of that name. Aiken was so called in honor of William Aiken, governor of the state in 1844-46. Beaufort is said by some to have been named for the Duke of Beaufort. Others -claim the name was given by the French Hugenots, who took refuge there from L?ord Berkeley, giving the name of the town in Anjol, France. Chester derived its name from Chester county, Pennsylvania, which was named by George Pearson, a friend of William Penn, in honor of the native place of Penn. The origin of the name of Darlington is unknown, although it may have been given in honor of Col. Darlington, a Revolutionary soldier. Florence was named for the daughter of Gen. W. W. Harllee. ^4 a noma from n \imilICJ UCUYCU HO li?*utv ? WM? ? | prominent South Carolina family. Georgetown is a namesake of King George III, of England. Greenwood was descriptively named.

Orangeburg is one of a number of places in the country named for William IV, Prince of Orange. Allendale was named for the Allen family, prominent in that district. Bamberg was so called in honor of a family prominent in the recent history of the state. Barnwell was named for another uistinguisneu souui uarouna lamuy. The same applies to Batesburg. Branchville took its name from the forks of the two branches of the South Carolina railroad. Camden is one of several places in the country named for Chief Justice Pratt, Earl of Camden, a friend of the colonies during the American revolution. Cheraw derived its name from the Sara, or Cheraw, Indian tribe. Dillon was named for a prominent resident family. Easley was so called in honor of Gen. Easley, a prominent South Carolinian. Edgefield took its name probably from its situation at the edge of the state. Enoree bears the name of an Indian muc. Lancaster had its name transferred from the county in England. It is a common place-name in the United States. McColl derived its name from D. D. McColl, a capitalist. Manning was named for the Manning family, prominent in South Caro- . lina history.

The Blue Ridge was so called from the hue which frequently envelops its distant summits.?News and Courier. POISONED NEEDLE A MYTH There is no Drug Known to Scientists That Can be Administered Hypodermically. Popular beliefs on scientific subjects apparently run in waves. Many of our readers remember the interest in hypnotism which followed the publication of "Trilby." Svengali, with his "hypnotic eye," at once became a real and possible personage in the public imagination. The newspapers were full of stories of girls and women who had suddenly been fixed and paralyzed by the hypnotic gaze of some mysterious stranger with piercing black eyes and who had been compelled by his will to perform fantastic acts which they were powerless to prevent. Fiction writers took up the idea, and s'tories centering around hypnotic influence became common. It was used as a plea in criminal cases, various culprits alleging that they had been hypnotized and compelled against their will to perform unlawful acts. All this occurred in spite of the fact, frequently stated and known by every scientific man, that the limitations of hypnotism are definite and well recognized, that no person can be hypnotized unknowingly or against his will, and that few persons are so susceptible as to be capable of being compelled to perform acts beyond their own volition and knowledge. Another popular fiction which later on took the place of hypnotism was that of instantaneous anesthesia. Storlou onnonroH In the nawfinfl nprft of women who had been accosted by strangers, and under some pretext had permitted a cloth or a handkerchief to be pressed momentarily over their mouth and nose. Immediate unconsciousness was said to have followed, resulting in a period of insensibility and irresponsibility, varying from a few minutes to hours or even days. Chloroform sprayed into an open window by means of an atomizer, anesthetics tied to a rag on the end of a pole and thrown into a bedroom, instant unconsciousness following the administration of drugs unknown to physicians or pharmacists, were some of the variations of this idea. In the minds of physicians and nurses who see every day the administration of anesthetics, such stories only excite mirth. Any one who knows the difficulty and labor of procuring unconsciousness through the use of anesthetics, even under the most favorable conditions and with every possible means of restraining and controlling the patient, knows how absu.'b such stories are. A latter day variation of these popular beliefs may be found in the "poisoned-needle" stories which have been going the rounds of the press recently. A woman goes to a moving-picture theatre, enters a crowded elevator, a street car or elevated train, or is caught in the press of a crowd. Suddenly she sees, close beside her, our old friend the "mysterious stranger," with the piercing black eyes and the compelling manner. At the same time she feels a sting and knows that she has been stabbed with a poisoned nedle. She immediately becomes unconscious, dazed or irresponsible for a greater or less period of time, during which she ex periences a number of marvelous adventures or hairbreadth escapes. It is not possible to say that no woman was ever without her knowledge given a drug hypodermically which produced unconsciousness. It can, however, be said very positively that there is no drug known to scientific men which could be administered in the manner or which would produce the effect described in recent newspaper reports. One of the laws of hysteria is that when any peculiar phenomenon is re- : ported, similar instances immediately appear throughout the country. We may now expect a spring crop of magazine stories and popular novels based on the pr isoned needle as a motive. Sci- , entiflcally, the thing is as ridiculous ( and impossible as hypnotism of an unwilling subject or instantaneous anaesthesia. Popular beliefs travel in waves and hysteria and excited imaginations help them along. The history of popular delusions, from Salem witchcraft to present day vagaries, is full of such 1 instances.?Journal American Medical Association. ml!
