A Prayer For a Horse.?A young curate, but very' shy and bashful, came into a parish which was occupied by Yorkshire yeoman who bred horses and rode them and sometimes had steeplechases. He did not get on, and was very much depressed. One day the clerk said to him: "If you please, sir, the prayers of the church are desired for Lucy Gray." "Very well," said the curate, and at every service in which the prayer for all sorts of conditions of men was offered, the church was asked to pray for Lucy Gray, till one morning the clerk rushed into the vestry and said: "You needn't pray for Lucy Gray any more; she's won the steeplechase." "Have I been praying for a horse?" asked the curate. "I shall leave the place." But the clerk said: "You'll do now't of the sort, sir; I thought little of ye when ye came, but now ye've got the hearts of them all, and ye can do what ye like in the parish since ye took to having prayed for that horse." Not Their Style.?The young man who eats all 'round the circuit ran against this quick lunch incident recently: A fastidious person made his way charily into the place. A tumbler of murky water was thumped before him by the young woman on the other side of the counter. "What's yours?" "Coffee and rolls, my girl." One of those iron heavy, quarterinch thick mugs of coffee was pushed over the counter. The fastidious person seemed dazed. He looked under the mug and over it. "But where is the saucer?" he queried. "We don't give no saucers here. If we did some low brow'd come pilin' in an' drink out his saucer, an' we'd lose a lot of our swellest trade." A New Sherlock.?A joke was played on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle during his last visit to Paris by a French taxicab driver, if a story in the Caulois is to be credited. The man had driven Sir Arthur from the station to a hotel, and when he received his fare, he said, "Merci, M. Conon Doyle." Why, how do you know my name?" asked Sir Arthur. "Well, sir, I have seen in the papers that you were coming from the south of France to Paris; your general J appearance told me that you were English; your hair had been clearly last cut by a barber of the south of France. I put these indications together, and guessed at once that it was you." "That is very remarkable. You have no other evidence to go upon?" "Well," said the man, there was also the fact that your name was on your luggage." Everv Man to His Trade.?Mark Thistlewaite, private secretary to Vice President Marshall, ran across a 30-page, hand-written letter from a crank in the office mail one morning. After reading three pages of it he decided, with a grin, to brighten his chiefs day by letting him wade through the document; and accordingly laid it on top of the pile of letters on his private desk. Vice President Marshall came in with a cheery greeting and passed into his private office. There was silence of almost a minute, then the buzzer sounded. "Mark," he exclaimed as the secretary appeared, "when I keep a dog, do you suppose I'm going to do my own barking?" Animal Intelligence.?Some men at the club were telling dog stories after o Hov'? shnntinir. After some time. when the tales had got very "tall," one little man, who had been quite silent, said: "I have a dog that makes all yours seem fools. I generally feed him myself after dinner, but the other day a friend dropped in and the poor animal slipped my mind. After the meal we went into the garden. The dog scratched up a flower and laid it at my feet, with the most yearning look in his eyes?it was a forget-me-not. Nobody told any more dog stories that evening. A Different Boy.?An interesting event occurred in the household of a scientific gentleman who is a member of one of Uncle Sam's chemical bureaus in Washington. The eentleman himself was hard at work in his home laboratory- when the news was brought to him. "It's a boy," quietly announced the physician, jus he stopped on thethreshhold. "All right, all right," muttered the absentminded chemist as he bent over his work. "Er-oh?ask him what he wants, won't you?" I despise a hypocrit." "So do I.' "Now, take Jackson for example, he's the biggest hypocrit on earth." "But you appear to be his best friend." "Oh, yes! 1 try to appear friendly toward him. It pays better in the end." She Filled the Bill.?John Sloan, the painter, was lecturing on "Models" before an art class in New York. ,,rPl-?xxr? thppo ic th<* frfvnlnns mndcl " said Mr. Sloan. "She, unless very beautiful, is to be avoided. "A frivolous model besought a friend of mine to employ her. " 'No, no,' he said. 'I only do still life ?flowers and fruit.' " 'Well,' said the model, looking up at him, reproachfully out of limpid blue eyes, 'well, ain't I a peach?'" It Would Suit Him.?A certain major in the Philippines, who seemed to be favored with the good will of the powers, managed in some way always to get leave just before trouble with the natives was due. His colonel suspected him of having no stomach for fighting. "Some day," remarked the colonel, "they'll want to give that fellow a decoration, and I'll suggest one. It will be a wreath of leaves of absence." Cause for Congratulations.?Patient: f?ay, doctor, tnat new serum treatment of yours has given me an extremely high fever." Doctor: "My hearty congratulations." "What for?" "Why, my dear sir, that fever indicates the presence of several other diseases which we didn't even suspect." "It's a had plan to talk about your neighbors." "That's right," replied the man who is all business. "Publicity is worth something these days. I shouldn't think of talking about anybody except at advertising rates." HON. RICHARD I. MANNING Some Facts About South Carolina's Next Governor. WORKED WAY UP AGAINST OBSTACLES Family Record Long and Honorable? They Were Patriots in the Revolution, and Have Been Prominent in the Affairs of the State Through Several Generations. The following sketch of Hon. Richard I. Manning, governor-elect, is from "Men of Mark in South Carolina." Richard Irvine Manning, son 01 Richard Irvine Manning and his wife, Elizabeth Allen Sinkler, was born at Homesly plantation. Sumter county, South Carolina, August 15, 1859. The father, a man of equable temperament and gentle and unobtrusive in manner, was noted for his excellent judgment and scrupulous uprightness in life. He impressed all as an honorable and just man and his opinion, naturally, in matters of moment, was often sought. He was a successful planter and served acceptably in the state senate of South Carolina. His parental ancestor, uiureute Manning, was born in Ireland and emigrated thence prior to the American Revolution and settled in Craven, subsequently Clarendon county, South Carolina. He married a daughter of Richard Richardson, a distinguished patriot, born near Jamestown, Va., 1704, where he had been a land surveyor. He removed to Craven county, South Carolina, where he engaged in farming. During the Indian border wars he commanded a regiment; was a member of the council of safety of Charleston in 1775; and for his services in quelling a dangerous loyalist revolt in the "back country," received fh? thanks of the orovincial congress und was promoted to the rank of brigadier general. He was a member of the legislative council of 1776 and in the provincial congress of South Carolina assisted in forming the state Constitution. Lord Cornwallis made fruitless efforts to gain him over to the royal cause. Made prisoner at the capture of Charleston, he returned from the prison at St. Augustine and died in a few days near Salisbury, N. C., in September, 1781. His eldest son, Col. Richard Richardson, commanded the right wing of Gen. Francis Marion's army at the battle of Eutaw and was wounded. Another son, James B. Richardson, was governor of South Carolina, 1802?04. The same Laurence Manning, great-grandfather of the subject of this sketch, was a Revolutionary soldier and was distinguished for his intrepid courage and inperturbability of demeanor in moments of great peril, instances of which are narrated in "Garden's Anecdotes." He was the first adjutant general of the state of South Carolina. Grandfather a Governor. His son, Richard Irvine Manning, was born in Sumter district. May 1, 1789; was graduated from South Carolina college in 1811; served in the war of 1812; was a member of the South Carolina legislature in 1822, and governor of South Carolina, 182426; was state senator and was elected a member of congress from South Carolina in 1834 and died during his term in Philadelphia, May 1, 1836. The early years of the subject of this sketch were passed on the plan tation of his father and he grew up a healthy and active lad, fond of horseback riding and fox hunting. His father dying when he was only two years of age. the responsible care of the plantation and of his mother and sisters fell upon him when he was a mere lad. His training was of great value to him. It necessitated daily intercourse with his neighbors in varied matters of business and impressed him with the value of the golden rule in all his transactions as well as accustoming himself to self-sacrifice. His mother was highly educated and refined, a sincerely pious woman of deep religious faith, in whom all considerations of selfish comfort and pleasure were always subservient to her duty to God, to the cause of humanity and the good of her country. The special lines of reading which young Manning found most helpful in fitting him for his work in life were, primarily, the Bible, with the biographies of men famous in the world's progress. After attending the primary schools in the vicinity of his birth, he was for two years a student at the Kenmore university high school of the late H. A. Strode in Amherst county. Virginia, and later at the University of Virginia, which he left in 1874 before completing the course of study. Began Life as a Farmer. He commenced the active work of his life in Sumter county as a farmer in 1880. On February 10. 1881. he married. at Richmond, Leila Bernard Meredith, daughter of John A. Meredith and Sarah Anne Bernard, his wife, Judge Meredith was a descendant of Col, Elisha Meredith of the American Revolution. Two brothers of Mrs. Manning, Charles V. and Wyndham Robertson Meredith, of Richmond, are prominent members of the Virginia bar. The first choice of young Manning was for the profession of law, but his eyesight being threatened he abandoned the study. He was elected a member of the house of representatives of South Carolina in 1SRJ and 1894. Although he declined the nomination, he was elected to the house. In 1898 he was elected a member of the state senate of South Carolina, was re-elected in 1902, and served as president pro tempore of that body in 1905. He was also chairman of the finance committee, a member of the sinking fund commission of the senate and a member of the Wade Hampton monument commission. He was a eandifhito for the Democratic nomination for governor of South Carolina at the Democratic primary in 1906, but failed of success, after a hotly contested campaign, in spite of his confessedly greater popularity than that enjoyed by his winning competitor. Public Spirited Citizen. Besides developing his planting interests, Mr. Manning has proved himself in many ways a progressive and public-spirited citizen and has been inlluentially connected with various business and other enterprises. Among his trusts have been president and treasurer of the Masonic Temple association, president of the Sumter Compress company, president of the Home Building & Loan association, director in the Bank of Sumter, in the Sumter Telephone Manufacturing company, Sumter Machinery company, Sumter & VVateree Railroad company, and president of the Bank of Sumter. He has also been connected with other enterprises tending to the improvement and development of his community and state. In his party affiliation he has been a consistent Democrat and has always aided in every effort to purify elections?"the ballot being the foundation stone of republican institutions." He believes that "effort should be ' " * ' **??-? ? /! V* j made to rid elections w uauu, they should be protected from the exercise of undue influence, so as to arrive at a free and untrammeled expression of the popular will," He introduced in the house of representatives in 1894 a rigid Australian ballot bill, but it was defeated. He has always taken an active part in all legislation touching the assessment and taxation of property and in everything promoting the educational interests of South Carolina. He has actively worked for the development of the common school system, as well as for the thorough equipment and broadening of the sphere of the institutions of higher learning. An Active Churchman. He is a communicant of the Protes tant Episcopal church, is chairman of the vestry of the church at Sumter and its treasurer, and is also treasurer of St. Mark's church at Clarendon, South Carolina. He is a member of the standing committee of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of South Carolina, chairman of the finance committee of the diocese, of its board of missions and of the executive committee of the Young Men's Christian association of North and South Carolina. He served in the state militia of South Carolina, 1876-78. He is a member of the following fraternities: A. F. and A. Mason, the Delta Kappa Epsilon and the Knights of Pythias. He has found healthful relaxation from the duties of his busy and useful career in driving, riding, occasional hunting and travel when time and opportunity have admitted. He believes that the principles, methods and habits which prove most helpful to young people in attaining true success in life are: "A regular reading and study of the Bible, the study of history and the biographies of those characters whose lives and achievements appeal to the student, and above all, to ever aim at the attainment of the highest ideals of citizenship, with purity of morals and uprightness in character in the daily walks of life; to feel it a duty to take interest in and to create, foster and direct a healthy public sentiment in all public questions, and to be ever ready to sacrifice private Inclination, personal comfort and pecuniary interests. in the discharge of duty to God and to fellowmen, with the paramount ambition to be useful and valued members of the community.

President Wilson on last Tuesday, signed a proclamation calling on the people of the United States to pray for peace ,n Europe. The proclamation sets aside October 4, as a day of prayer. The president's proclamation follows: "Whereas great nations of the world have taken arms against one another and war now draws millions of men into battle when the counsel of statesmen have not been able to save from the terrible sacrifice: "And, whereas, in this, as in all things, it is our privilege and duty to seek counsel and succor of Almighty God, humbling ourselves before him, confessing our weakness and our lack of any wisdom equal to these things; "And, whereas, it is the especial wish and longing of the people of the United States in prayer and counsel and all friendliness, to serve the cause of peace; "Therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States of America, do designate Sunday, the fourth day of October next, a day of prayer and supplication and do request all God-fearing persons to repair on that day to their places of worship, there to unite their petitions to Almighty God, that overruling the counsel of men, setting straight the things they cannot govern or alter, taking pity on the nations now in the throes of conflict, in his mercy and goodness showing a way where men can see none, he vouchsafe his children healing peace again and restore once more that concord among men and nations without which there can be neither happiness nor true friendship nor any wholesome fruit or toil or thought in the world; praying also to this end that he forgive us our sins, our ignorance of his holy will, our wilfulness and many errors, and lead us in the paths of obedience to places of vision and to thoughts and counsels that purge and make wise. "In witness whereof. I have hereunto set my hand and authorized the seal of the United States to be affixed.

Americans are Fighters.?Americans are born lighters in the opinion of Reginald Kann, the French military expert, who, in criticising the United States army, writes in the Temps: "No other people, except perhaps the Chinese, show less taste for the profession of arms than the Americans. For this there are two causes. The first is perfect security, due to the absence of dangerous neighbors; second is the extreme individualism upon which the American's political and social life is founded, making him impatient of all rules and discipline. "But look at the Yankee! consider his long, willful jaw, thin lips, dry complexion and sharp glance.

As though it were not enough that the twentieth century of Christianity should see half the civilized world engaged in barbarous conflict, the warring peoples beseech Omnipotence for aid in battle and raise to the Prince of Peace their prayers for supremacy in slaughter. King and kaiser, czar and emperor, hotm offrnntrwl TToo van with thpir im. pious supplications. The new thought here is that this monstrous perversion of the religious instinct of man is not an offense of autocrats alone, but of millions of their people. By uncounted numbers of human beings it is still held that their national ambitions are to be furthered by a divinely inspired war; that the God of the universe is a God of battle, of burning cities, murderous cannon and blood-soaked trenches. Nothing we believe, has ever so grated upon the sense of reverence of this nation as the dreadful invocations that have issued from the throne-rooms ot Europe during this causeless war. As he launched his Cossack hordes against neighboring nations the Russian despot proclaimed: "With a profound faith in the justice of our work and a humble hope in Omnipotent Providence, in prayer we call God's blessing on holy Russia and her valiant troops." Immediately the war lord of Germany issued his powerful defiance: "We are animated by the unbending desire to secure for ourselves the place where God has placed us. Devout before God and courageous before the enemy, let us confide ourselves to the everlasting Almighty, who will strengthen our defense and conduct it to a good end." This godly aspiration was uttered when the government of Germany had trampled upon a solemn covenant and had begun a ruthless invasion of the territory of a neutral people. Within a few hours of the time when German bombs were flung from the clouds upon the sleeping homes of Antwerp the Imperial government published to the world that touching telegram from the kaiser to the consort of the crown prince: "I rejoice with thee over the first victory of William. God has been on his side and has most brilliantly supported him. To Him be thanks and honor." Likewise, while the huge forces tore at each other in furious conflict, this dispatch to the king of Wurtemberg: "With God's gracious assistance, the Duke of Albrecht and his splendid army have gained a glorious victory. You will join me in thanking the Almighty." A little later he sent to his ministry an exhortation expressing "confidence in the irresistible might of our heroic army and unshakable belief in the help of a living God." Equally imbued with religious fervor. the aged emperor of Aust ria scanned the reports of carnage and devastation in Belgium and telegraphUJ? Alltr. ru iu 111o uiumi luun auj . "Victory after victory. God is with you. He will be with "us also." Yet it must not be supposed that the regal effrontery of these utterances signifies that the autocrats are singularly depraved. They would not be moved, they would not dare, to proclaim such impiety if their sacreligious faith were not shared by the great masses of their subjects. German troops on their way to the storming of Liege and the sack of Louvain knelt humbly in the streets of Berlin while ministers of God blessed their arms. We read of this scene in St. Petersburg: "Crowds prostrated themselves in the streets as the imperial family passed to the palace for the purpose of attending a special service of prayer. One hundred thousand persons gathered in front of the palace. The service was opened by a priest, who read the declaration of war, a Te Deum was sung, and the czar venerated the holy cross and the ikon." In ten thousand places of religious worship this scene has been duplicated in spirit, if not in pomp and magnifi it11( v v uuimr.1,1 <11 tcij r> ail" <1 life ill ? mi votive appeals, and millions of hearts besiege the throne of mercy with prayers that organized slaughter may prosper. Even the Anglo-Saxon character, shrinking from the formalities of great religious ceremonies, thrills to the audacious spirit of the British "Hymn Before Action": The earth is full of anger. The seas are dark with wrath; The nations, in their harness, do up against our path. Ere yet we loose the legions. Ere yet we draw the blade, Jehovah of the Thunders, Lord nod of (tattles, aid? In the face of such demonstrations the intent of reverence is shocked, and the hope that religion will help to N abolish war is well-nigh.extinguished.

General Joseph Joffre, generalissimo of the French in the war against Germany, is a man of silence,. His whereabouts today are a secret. He is almost unknown to the public and few of his soldiers would recognize him if he motored by them. Should France eventually win out against her arch enemies, the Germans, it will not be another victory for Napoleon, which was Joffre's fondest dream. Round and fat, silent and saturnine, Joffre is not unlike the great Crosisan in build and characteristics, and he is a profound believer in Napoleonic principles, to strike first, to hit the enemy in many places at once and to ceil his movements with strict secrecy. He started this war this way. The French were not successful. The _ _ v Germans crossed the border. M. Millerand has taken charge and decreed that no more Napoleonic policies go. Joffre has been overruled. Today the French army, instead of being all along the border and in Alsace, Lorraine and elsewhere, is concentrated to oppose the main German advance. Joffre believes in making war in * silence. Indeed, that has been the marked difference between this campaign and the one of forty-four years 1 ago. Then, the names of generals 4 were on every tongue; now none c knows who is the leader in any par- 1 ticular exploit. When a French ' brigade entered Mulhausen a few days ago, the public was not told who was the brigadier in command for fear it would prove valuable information for the enemy. It is related of Joffre that he never betravs his rank even to his own men who do not know him. When the troops were being mobilized at the beginning of this war, the generalissimo was at a railway station, but without any insignia to denote his station. There was a group of reservists on the platform. All were talking volubly of going to war. "When do you join?" one youth asked Joffre. "I have already joined," was the quiet answer. "Where do you come from?" was asked. "Paris," was the laconic answer. "What's your name," persisted the rural reservist. "It is best for soldiers to have no names," the generalissimo said with , one of his rare smiles, and when an ,, officer who recognized him would have reproved the reservist, Joffre forbade him. To strike rather than to be struck is one of his axioms. He believes in a forward policy, a policy of attack. Gen. Joseph Joffre, though a great strategist, has won his greatest fame as a builder of forts and roads. He is a man of fine intelligence, with the steel gray eyes of a dreamer, but the ease with which he has manipulated two million French troops since the war began shows that he is a practical man as well. "Jore the taciturn," as he is known ^ to the general stoffe, is scarcely known to Parisians. In times of peace he is retiring to a degree and shuns public recognition. He entered the army in the war of 1870 when only IS years old, and was promoted for gallantry on the field by Marshal MacMahon. Immediately ^ after the war he was entrusted with rebuilding the forts around Paris, the forts that today are being prepared again to defend the capital against the Germans. r Made a captain at 22, Joffre was sent into east France to build up the chain of fortresses there that have ^ nrnvpfl of such value in resisting the " invaders from the north. Afterward he spent many years raising impenetrable fortifications at * Tonkin, Island of Formosa, and Mad- ( agascar. His next brilliant achievment was the crushing of the uprising T in Dahomey. There, with a small force he utterly crushed the natives after a short campaign marched into f Timbuctoo. Since that time JofTre has been at the head of the French ^ war college, where officers are trained. In addition, he has been the supreme organizer of the French army ^ and when war loomed on the horizon, there was no debate about placing ^ Joffre in the field as generalissimo. Nobody else was thought of. He is ^ the Lord Kitchiner of France. 0 GENERAL RENNENKAMPF 2 c p 1 A A F N ,N c s 7 7 Major General Rennenkampf, com- y mander of the Russian army In east- u em Prussia which seems to be ad- f vanclng steadily toward Berlin. 3 STATEMENT BY MR.

Some wag has said that the bugle says, "I can't get 'em up; I can't get 'em up; I can't A get 'em up this morning." There is a greater army than Uncle Sam's standing army that is awakened every morning by the Reville, sounded by "BIG BEX" ALARM CLOCKS and this big army has to get up to shut off the strident voice of BIG BEN; because if he is not CHOKED he keeps right on the job until somebody moves.
