"Well, well," answered the other, waiting to get his breath and to remember where he's ever seen the other before, though his face was familiar and his manner even more so: "I guess it's been a long time since we run across one another." "It sure is. How's all the family? I remember you had three pretty good looking gals. What's become of "em?" "All got married off. One of 'em married a newspaper man. The second married an artist. And the third she hooked up with a steel magnate." 117^11 nmll! An<1 nrhinh nnA mnp. ried the most lucky?" "The first two." "Why so? How's that? The third got the richest husband, didn't she?" "Yes, but he has to support the husbands of the other two." Wanted to Pay Difference.?The arithmetic lesson that day had been hard and trying, and now, at the closing hour, Tommy stood before the teacher, waiting to hear results. "Your last problem was wrong," was the verdict. "You will have to stay after school and do it again." Tommy looked at the clock. "Tell me, please, how much am I out?" he asked. "Your answer is two cents short." Tommy's hand dived into the pocket where his most treasured possessions were stored. Swiftly he sepa rated two pennies from a bunch of strings, a penknife, some marbles and pieces of chalk. "I'm in a hurry, sir,'' he said: "if you don't mind, I'll pay the difference." Not There, Either.?Will Beattie, the dean of Kansas commercial travelers, once attended a high-up social gathering In Wichita. He found himself with a charming young woman from the east. She was quite taken with Beattie and finally she made bold to ask: "What business are you in, Mr. Beattie?" "I'm a commercial traveler," he replied. The young woman stepped back and said, smilingly. "In Holyoke, Mass., Mr. Beattle, commercial travelers don't go In the best of society." "Neither do they here,'' said Beattie. That was a good many years ago, but at the last reports, the young woman was still wondering. Sizing Them Up.?The governor of a southern state came to his office with a friend one morning, to find a number of men waiting in the ante-room. Pausing a moment he told a story that was a decided "chestnut." When they got Inside the private office, the friend said, "That was a horribly old one you sprung on those fellows." "I know It," chuckled the governor, "but did you notice the ones that laughed?" "Well, I noticed that three or four did." "Those," said the governor, "are the fellows who won't get in to see me. They are the ones who have favors to ask." He Kn*w.?The teacher was giving the geography class a lesson on the cattle ranches. She snoke of their beef all coming from the west, and wishing to test the children's observation, she asked: "And what else comes to us from these ranches?" That was a poser. She looked at her shoes, but no one took the hint. She tried again. "What do we get from the cattle besides beef?" One boy eagerly raised his hand. "I know what it is. It's tripe!" he answered, triumphantly. His Wsv of Putting It.?John had worked forty-two years for a corporation and decided to retire. In consideration of his long and faithful service the company arranged to give him a sum of money and asked the German foreman to present it to him in a little speech. Accordingly the foreman said: "John, you haf vorked for dis gompany more ash forty years?" "Yes." "And you vos going to kvit?" "Yes." "Veil de gompany vos so glad dey asked me to hand you dis hundred dollars." When Mother Was Guilty.?Gerald had been spending the Christmas "eason with his aunt, and when he returned home his mother said: "Gerald. I hope you were a good little boy while you were at Aunt Louise's house, and didn't tell any stories." "I only told her the one you put me up to," said Gerald. "I put you up to? Why what on earth do you mean?" cried the surprised mother. "Why, when she asked me to have more turkey, I said, 'No, thank you, I've had enough.'

The following receipt is an excellent one for making rose pudding: Pour one pint of raspberry Juice into a saucepan and add one cupful of sugar. Add a half-cupful of cornstarch, mixed with a little cold water to the boiling fruit Juice, cook well and when partly cooled add a teaspoonful of rose water and almond extract, half of each. Fold in the stifflly beaten white of two eggs. Dip a melon mold into cold water, drain and sprinkle with chopped almonds. Fill the mold and sprinkle with the almonds. Serve, unmolded, with whipped cream heaped around the mold. White silk need never be cleaned, but should be washed. It is tru>~ that unless you are careful it will turn yellow, but if the silk is washed as it should be, it will stay quite white and new In color. In the first place, silk should never be allowed to become much soiled, for it will turn yellow if too much soiled. It should be washed in warm (rot hot) water and castile soap. The silk should do well rinsed and dipped in blue water at the last. Care should be taken not to have the water too blue, but just enough to have the silk keep that new white shade. Hang it up until it is not quite dry. but dry enough to press nicely with a warm iron. Did you know that: If a garment becomes soiled with perspiration, put it in soft, lukeworm water and wash with Indian meal instead of soap. This will remove stains of long standing if the meal is well rubbed into the soiled places wth your hands. To clean gold chains, put them in a small glass bottle with warm soapsuds and a little prepared , chalk, shake until clean. Then rinse in clean water. The housewife will f.nd it admirable to put the silverwire into a tall pitcher standing in the dishpan. In this way the silver may be washed in much hotter water than could be managed otherwise, as it is not necessary to put the hands into the water at all. If strong alum water is quickly applied to a bum it will never blister; lard and white of egg is also good. Lace curtains can be washed without stretching by basting a piece of muslin around the edges. To prepare kindling wood, take a tight pall with cover, put cobs or any soft bits of wood and pour some kerosene oil over it; let stand until absorbed. One piece makes a good starter. Salt added to whitewash will make It stick better. To brighten glassware add bluing to the wash water. Here is the receipt they are using in Boston in cooking Boston baked beans. It is the only original receipt for the preparation of the dish which is known the world over: Beans, two cupfuls; one small onion; pork, one-half pound; dry mustard, one-half teaspoonful; molasses, one teaspoonful; sugar, one tablespoonful; a little salt. Prepare kidney beans, which are a little more expensive than "yellow eyes," or pea beans, but the flavor is so much better that they are worth the difference in price. Soak overnight in a quart of warm water. In the morning put the beans in a kettle, pour a little boiling water over them and set them on the stove where they will parboil; cook until soft, but not so long that the skins come off?by blowing on beans, if skins crack, time to take them up by skimming beans right from water on to bean pot; put a layer in bottom of latter, then one small onion, peeled, next cover up onion with beans, then on top of this layer put one-half pound of sweet salt pork w:th a streak of lean in it and scored in slices, but not cut all the way through. Now put remainder of beans on top of pork, which should bring the pork level wun tne lop layer or Deans; aaa one-half level teaspoonful of dry mustard, one teaspoonful each of molasses and sugar and a small quantity of salt; pour over boiling water to cover and set bean pot in coolest part of your oven and let them Just peter along until supper, of course adding water every hour or so, as it cookE away. Cook uncovered, as it improves the flavor. When done there should be plenty of brown, crispy ones on top or they would not be genuine Boston baked beans. In the May Woman's Home Companion appears an Interesting article about the young princess who will be empress of Austria when the present emperor dies. The emperor, Franz Joseph, is, as every one knows, 85 years old?a worn and aired monarch. Following is an extract giving some facts about the young prlrcess: "Archduchess Zita will be 23 years old on the 9;h day of May, and will, in consequence, be the youngest empress recorded in many a decade. The Austrlans, and in particular the Viennese, greet this fact with delight. Only the very old recall Empress Elizabeth in her fresh boauty when she came to them as Franz Joseph's bride. The saddened story of her later life, her complete withdrawal from the Austrian capital many years ago on the tragic death of her only son. Crown Prince Rudolf, and to take up her residence at the palace in Corfu, which later became the holiday home of the German emperor, left the imperial city without an empress. Advancing years have brought frightful sorrows to Franz Joseph, beginning with the suicide or murder of his son, a mystery unsolved, and later to be followed by the cruel assassination of the Empress Elizabeth at Geneva. Social functions of his court were minimized; Vienna, once the gayest capital in Europe, grew through these happenings, combined with troubles financial and political, to be the saddest. The people have longed for an empress to revive traditions of a brilliant court. It means not only a resurrection of social lil'e, but of trade and of that spirit of joy which every Viennese, from lowest to highest, regards as his birthright." Black, navy blue, dark brown and green will constitute the coming fall and winter season staple colors for women's wearing apparel, according to the annual report of the style committee of the National Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufacturers' association, made public in Cincinnati, last Saturday. The report says: "There will be no definite line set for the length of the suit jacket, but tailored suits, cut on smartly severe lines, somewhat shaped to the form, are prominently represented. Some of the jackets are distinguished by high buttoning treatments, set-in sleeves, belted, plaited, and ilare effects. Skirts should not be longer than ankle length and the wide suit skirt, which is narrow enough to have a graceful swing, is favored. Broadcloths, worsteds, poplins, garbadines, chevoits, whipcords, serges and tweeds form the fabric basis of the suita Many models are treated with braid and fur. The coats for separate wear are to be long and on somewhat closer fitting lines. They will reveal fullness and flare in the skirt portion of the garment. Utility coats will be cut on loose and straighter lines. The high buttoned covertible collar and set-in sleeves will be characteristic. The semi-kimono sleeve and belted effects will be seen on many of the favorite models. Plushes, velours, velvet cords and novelty pile fabrics with fur trimmings will be shown, while chevoits In a variety or weaves and novelties in plaid effects and tweeds will make a strong bid for popularity. It is gratifying to note that the thought of creating styles in tills country has impressed itself on the minds of the general public to such an extent that the public schools are encouraging pupils to take up various phases of this work and this < movement is receiving the hearty support of the manufacturers of worn- i en's garments." m ? i FRENCH GUN MAKERS 1 __ 1 Creusot Artillery Not Inferior to that of the Kruppa. I have Just completed a four days' visit o the holy of holies of France, j her most sacred, most secret, most rigidly guarded possession in wartime. I mean the great cannon man- < ufacturers at Le Creusot, controlled by Schneider & Co., the only concern j in the world that has rivaled the Krupps in the magnitude of its pro- I duction, even surpassing them, ac- ' cording to a majority of artillery experts, in the Ingenuity of its work. < I also passed a day at the great ' government arsenal at Bourges, where artillery officers receive their training, and where explosives are manufactur- f ed for the shells, which are also made In the steel works of Le Creusot. The trip was arranged after longer and more profound thought on the part of the ministry of war than that preceding any permissions granted for journeys to the tiring line. In fact, this is the first time in the history of the works that newspaper men have been taken there. As on my trips to the front, I was accompanied by an officer of the general staff. Ever since the war of 1870, Le Creusot has been the great secret of the French government, not even the name becoming well known to the world in general, as has Essen, the home of the Krupps. Nevertheless, in several recent wars several nations that got badly battered learned that Lie Creusot was responsible for Schneider & Co., have sold cannon to all applicants except Germany and Austria?those countries always having been on the black list. England first got a taste of the Creusot guns at the hands of the Boers; but the real test came in the recent Balkan war, at the battle of Liule Burgas, when the Bulgarians and Serbs caused the debacle of the German-organized Turks. Then every press dispatch in the world carried the significant line: "The Creusot cannon silenced the Krupps." Since then European artillery experts have been in the habit of making the remark? which the public still declines to appropriate?"The French army has the best field artillery in the world." The present war has proved them right; for, excepting Germany's heavy siege mortars of 44-centimeters, the Creusot "75s" have had the best of every artillery argument on the battleline. In fact the Krupp's "77s" especially designed to combat the "75s" have been pronounced a failure. So, on my trip to the Le Creusot, I did not think about the "75s;" that question was settled. What I wanted to know was whether France had evolved, since the work accomplished by the German mosters at L<iege, Namur, Maubeuge and Antwerp. I can now say?for I have seen?that France has, not one, but two types of artil- *. lery that will beat anything belonging to Germany. Before proceeding further, let me explain that the captain who accompanied me on the trip, and who will personally censor this article, only today obtained from the minister of war the exact data of what I am permitted to describe. His censorship will be more rigid than that previoupsly applied to any story ever cabled. He told me that I would not be allowed to say whether the new types of guns were howitzers or mortars, and that the ranges and weights of projectiles must not be given. So I shall merely call them cannon, leaving out more specific details. Frenchmen rarely attempt to make "the biggest in the world" of anything. They prefer perfection to size. They are perfectly willing to let the Germans make the biggest things. So, despite the scores of stories told in Paris about the new monster French guns, bigger than the biggest German dreams, I can say that the biggest of the new cannon are not so large as the German 42-centimeters. My captain has just told me that perhaps I will be allowed to mention the size of the largest new type; so I change it. It is 37-centimeter8, or five centime ters smaller man me uernmu -otn Johnson." That Is to say, it's bore is fourteen and one-half inches. It is called "le Vainqueur." I have seen these guns. (I may not mention their number); I have examined each part of them and handled them; I have seen their shells in the making from the moment the great mass of molten steel, weighing tons, was poured from furnices like the old-fashioned hell, through the process of shaping, where ten men are required to handle one shell, up to the moment the shell was ready for the insertion of the explosive and its fuse. I have compared it with the German 42-centimeter shells, one of which fell unexploded near Vardun. I can affirm that this French shell is bigger and more deadly than the German; that "the conqueror" is the more powerful weapon. I know it will have a convincing effect upon Germany when, perhaps, it hurls its steel fury against the forts of Metz. All I can say further about this type is that the date of its going into action is very near. But, remember, I said there were two new French types. Of the second and smaller type I may not speak at all, except to say that it is of a very oua size. Durinp the recent visit of a newspaper man to the Krupp works he was spied upon in a room hunp with mirrors, his every movement was fol lowed, and he was allowed to cable only meager details of what was being done. During my visit to Le Creusot, on the contrary, everything possible was done for me. 1 was lodged in the clubhouse built by the Schneiders for the occasional kings, war ministers and generals who used to come to buy cannon. Everything was shown and everything explained clearly, except In the case of this second new type of weapon. The secret of it is most Jealously guarded; nothing of it was shown except a portion of its carriage, which gave me a slight hint of its character. From what I heard I Judge that it will prove even a greater surprise to the Germans than its big sister. Reports from Essen are that 46,000 men are now employed at the Krupp works. On my trip I learned that even a greater number of men are now working day and night in the French arms and munitions factories, not at Le Creusot alone, but in the Schneider company's minor works in half a dozen other places and in government arsenals. At the Ecole da Pyrotechnie, or school of explosives, which I visited at Bourges, there are 10,000 men and 3,000 women. At the Etat Major d'Artlllerle, also at Bourges, there are 5,000 men in the workshop. At Le Creusot there are nearly 15,000 scattered through the works, covering 1,100 acres, all going at full speed, except the locomotive shops, which have been closed since the war began.? Paris dispatch to New York Times. RURAL GRADED 8CHOOL8 3tate Has so far Disbursed a Total of $94,800. J. E. Swearingen, state superintendent of education, has been busy since A.pril 15, paying out to the public scnoois tne six appropriations made ay the last general assembly. The growth of the educational sys:em is nowhere better illustrated than n the development of the rural graded schools." said Mr. Swearingen. For the scholastic year 1914-15, 399 school districts in 39 counties received 194,800. These schools may be divided into :wo classes: 1. Schools having an enrollment of >0, an average attendance of 30, a :erm of six months, a two-room buildng, a 4 mill special, tax and the minmum equipment required by the state poard of education, received 3200 state aid. 2. Schools having an enrollment of 15, an average attendance of 40, a three-room building, a special tax of i mills and the minimum equipment required by the state board of education, receive 3300 state aid. Greenville county leads with 41 rural graded schools, receiving 39,800; Anderson county comes second with 12 schools, receiving 37,700; Spartanburg stands third with 27 schools, receiving 36,200. The amount of 394,800 paid these schools was made up as follows: Balance on hand, July 1, 1914, 32,000; appropriation 1915, 380,000; contingent fund for specially needed schools, 312,100. Since the trustees in these rural districts had employed their teachers and nade their contracts for the session L914-15 with the exception of receiving aid under the rural graded school law, the state superintendent of education deemed it advisable to use this amount of the contingent fund of 360,>00 in maintaining the schools in these communities that had already voted a 1 mill tax. The legislature increased the contingent fund for needy schools py 315,000. But for this increase these progressive districts would not have jecured better buildings, an increased teaching force or a longer term. If this rate of increase is kept up Mr. Swearingen estimates that the number of rural graded schools next year will be >00. The taxpayers of many districts ire now voting special 4 mill levlea Mr. Swearingen said that the oneteacher school has almost disappeared. He said that Dorchester county was the first in the state to secure a local tax levy in every district.

The use of violence to form a selfappointed superior class is the one thing that has made this world a place of the skull. This superior class has ever been a menace and always a curse to itself and others. Its distinguishing feature is to exclude. It is ossified selfishness, or caste, as opposed to sympathy, love and enlightened self-interest. n nas us rise unen in iiunuiuy uuming in the name of liberty, and by bestowing a benefit gets a grip on things; then the second generation consumes but ceases to produce. The country that has the largest army and the greatest number of the superior class is nearest death. The superior class is a burden borne by the people who work. No nation ever survived it, none ever can. This volunteer superior class has always thought that good is to be gained by refusing to labor, by wearing costly and peculiar clothing, by being carried in a palanquin, by being waited on by servants, by attaining culture, that is beyond the reach of most, through owning things that only a few can enjoy. These are the ambitions of the self-styled superior class. The superior class lives by its wits, or on the surplus earned by slaves, or men who are dead. You are dead yourself when you live on the labor of dead men?you are so nearly drowning that you clutch society and pull it under with you. To exclude is to be excluded. When the superior class shuts out the poor and so-called ignorant, It is deprived of all the spiritual benefit the lowly have to give. Caste is a Chinese wall that shuts people in as well as out. If you can make people kind, not merely respectable, the problem of the ages will be solved. This bogus legal tender of gentility, which is the chief asset of the superior class, can never be done away with through violence and revolution. This has been tried again and again. Revolution is a surgical operation that ever leaves the roots of the cancer untouched. The remedy Is a new method of education which will teach men to be, not seem?that will give pupils diplomas on what they can do, not on what they can memorize. The millenium will come in this way: First?Men will decline to affiliate with a social club that offers a reward for blind credulity. Second?Men will refuse to enlist as soldiers for any other reason than to protect from an immediate invasion threatening their homes. Third?Parents will refuse to send their children to any school, college or university where the curriculum does not provide that at least one-half of the school day shall be spent in productive work.?Elbert Hubbard in Hearst's Magazine. State constables now raiding liquor places in Charleston are using fumi ture vans to carry seized goods to the dispensaries. Hundreds of gallons of whisky and beer have been seized. REAL ESTATE LOOK!
