tumorous gcpartmrnt Preparedness.?Obadlah, trying to cross the field where the bull was, attracted the attention of the beast, whereupon began a footrace of great personal interest to Obadiah, says The New York Evening Post. His neighbor Silas saw the race start in a fair field, and saw Obadiah putting his best foot forward and mending his gait at every step in an eagerness to make the creek, a good mile away. Obadiah, legging it at the peak of his effort managed to make the bank a scant few feet in ad-. M 41 W..11 ?w/l tr\ I Vance UI me UUll, anu , the 30 feet between the banks. He landed in the middle of the creek. Silas observed this dispassionately, and- looked back over the mile of field with a judging eye. He hitched his shoulder and spoke: "You cert'nly can't 'spect to jump that creek, Obadiah, 'thout gittin' a longer runnin, start 'n' that." Efficacy of Prayer.?A little boy visited his uncle, who lives away out in the country, says The Pathfinder. Uncle is a devout man; a piller of the church and a breeder of fine horses. And upon a certain colt did our little friend cast his eyes with admiration and covetousness. "Uncle Samuel," he said, "will you please give me that colt?" "Why, no. Harold," answered the uncle. "I can't give you that colt. Do you want a colt very badly?" "I'd rather have a colt than anything in the world." "Well if you want a colt that much you ought to pray for it. When I want a thing very badly, I pray for it and It comes." "Honest, uncle? Well, I'll tell you-you give me this colt, and then you pray for another one." Wanted to be Sure.?He had taken a transfer from the agent and started across to the other line when a sudden thought struck him and he turned back and asked for the agent. "Is this ticket also a beer check?" "Of course not," was the reply. "Good for nothing except to ride somewhere else on?" "That's all." "No beer, soda or ice cream, eh?" "Not a bit." "All right, all right." mused the man as he turned away. "Stranger in town, you know, got to learn the ropes, don't want to miss a good thing. No beer, no soda, no Ice cream. Guess I'll ride around and look for a line which has the interests of its patrons at heart." No Naughty Words for Him.?Edmund had just begun to attend the public school and had found a new friend, a child of whom Edmund's mother had never heard. "Who Is this Walter?" she asked, "Is he a nice little boy?" "Yes, ma'am, he is. replied Edmund enthusiastically. "Does he say any naughty words?" pursued his mother. "No," replied Edmond, with emphasis, "and I'm not going to teach him any!" A Practical Application.?"When Josh got home from his education," said Farmer Corntassel, "he started right in instructin* me about agriculture. So I didn't lose no time to try him out." "What did you do?" "Sent him out to round up a swarm of bees." "Was the experiment successful?" "Some. It didn't hurt the bees none, an' kep' John gettin' in the way fur 'most two weeks."?New York Evening Post. What's in a Name??She was a young missionary in China, not yet quite proficient In the language of the country, and was giving a little dinner to some friends. During the course of the meal she asked the servant to bring in some fruit, at least she thought she did. Presently he returned, carrying a large platter, which he placed before her with an air of supreme contempt. On it, carefully arranged, were her husband's every day trousers. Reached Her Limit.?Two neighbors met out shopping. "I hear Miss Flip is giving a birthday party next week," said the lady in the pale petunia costume. "Yes," replied the one in last year's frock, remodled. "I've got an invitation card, haven't you? By the way, did she keep her last birthday?" "Er?yes," was the disappointed lady"c comment, 'a'nd, between you and me I don't believe she is going to let go of it again." His Very Last.?Miss Wheat, the new teacher, was hearing the history lesson. Turning to one of the scholars, she asked: "James, what was Washington's Farewell Address?" The new boy arose with a promptitude that promised well for his answer. "Heaven, ma'am." he said. A Sense of Discretion.? A new recruit, placed on guard for the first time, about midnight, observed a shad owy form approaching from the distance. Following his instructions, he called: "Halt! Who goes there?" A somewhat husky voice replied: "Shut up! I ain't going; I'm coming back." Not Needec/.?The young bride had clearly formed ideas on industrial questions. "I will give you something to eat," she informed the tramp, "if you will get that ax?" "O, I shan't need that." the tramp interrupted, in a reassuring tone. "My teeth are all right."

He sailed in that month from Norfolk on a horseboat for England and upon arrival there enlisted in the English army. Being under age, only about 18, his father took steps, through Congressman E. Y.

Ed arrived in New York from Liverpool a few days ago and came on to Gastonia, He was in a training camp with 3,000 English soldiers near Bristol. England.

Smith, of Asheville, the one hundred and second annual session of the Presbyterian Synod of North Carolina began. It will probably close some time FYiday. Up to this morning 291 delegates had notified the local committee on entertainment that they would be here for the meeting. Quite a number came in yesterday afternoon and last night. The large majority of the delegates were to have reached here on No. 37 and No. 11 but both trains were delayed by reason of a freight wreck near Lexington and had not arrived at the time of going to press. These trains will arrive some time during the afternoon, bringing a large number of delegates and visitors. ? Lancaster News, Oct. 26: Services preparatory to communion on the Sabbath will be held at Shiloh Saturday morning at 11 o'clock. The preaching will be done by Rev. W. P. Grier of Clover Little Vera Robertson, in rant daughter, six montns oia, or Mr. and Mrs. Noy Robertson of the Riverside community, died yesterday morning. The remains were laid to rest in Zion cemetery this morning. Rev W. C. Kelly officiated at the funeral services Accompanied by a party of relatives and friends, Mr. Leroy Hobson Brasington and Miss Verdie May Hinson repaired to the Baptist pastorium at Heath Springs about 1:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon, October 24th, where they were united in the holy bonds of matrimony Early Saturday night while Mr. J. C. Truesdale was on the road to his home, about a half mile distant therefrom, he was fired upon by some one secreted on the side of the road. The assailant immediately fled in the darkness. The shot, No. 4, a dozen or more, took effect in the right side of Mr. Truesdale's face, inflicting serious, although not necessarily fatal wounds. Shortly after the shooting communication was had with Sheriff Hunter over the telephone, who although sick, left at once in an automobile for the scene of the trouble. He soon found where the assailant of Mr. Truesdale stood on the side of the road and tracked him across a piece of cultivated ground to some woods, where he found a horse and buggy had been hitched. Making inquires he ascertained a man driving a horse and buggy had gone on up the road and by following and making further inquiries he traced the horse and buggy near to the home of Mr. Ernest G. Bell. Shortly after reaching the vicinity of Mr. Bell's home, Mr. Bell came to the sheriff and admitted that he had shot Mr. Truesdale, assigning as his reason domestic troubles, the nature of which it is unnecessary to mention. Mr. Truesdale denies the charge made by Mr. Bell. Both men had been in Heath Springs that day. Bell married a niece of Truesdale's wife. Bell was brought on to town and lodged in jail by the sheriff. The affair is a very regrettable one, as both Truesdale and Bell are connected with some of the best families in the county Yesterday morning about 9 o'clock Mr. J. Beauregard Connor shot and instantly killed Mr. F. R. Bailey, commonly known as "Doc" Bailey, on the pavement opposite the store of Mr. W. B. Plyler, near Midway. Three shots were fired by Mr. Connor, all taking effect in the body of Mr. Bailey, who expired in a few seconds. THE FUTURE MRS. WILSON Interesting Facts About Her who is to be First Lady. The national capital is all agog over the approaching marriage of President Woodrow Wilson and Mrs. Xorman Gait of this city. Dr. Cary Grayson, the president's aid and physician, it appeared, was the means of brintrinir the uresident and Mrs. Gait together, and it was Miss Bones, who has made her home with the president's family for several years, who really fostered the romance. Late in the summer of 1914, Miss Bones was convalescing from an illness which was the result of her close confinement and care of Mrs. Wilson during her last illness. Dr. Grayson, who is also attending physician, ordered Miss Bones to take long walks every day, and for a few weeks she walked alone about the city, but found the occupation most distasteful. She complained to her physician that it was a lonesome task. In order to induce Miss Bones to continue her walking exercises, Dr Grayson introduced here to Mrs. Gait, who is an enthusiastic pedestrian. It was Mrs. Gait who took Miss Bones out into Rock Creek Park every day, where they would wander for an hour or two along the shaddy woodland paths. Every day the White House motor car could be seen standing by the roadside in the park at the entrance to some glade, while Mrs. Gait led Miss Bones in pursuit of health. These walks continued throughout the winter. The president's counsin and Mrs. Gait became inseparable companions, and the widow was more and more frequently a guest at the White House, at first for luncheon, at which the president is always present when he is in Washington. Later she spent many evenings there. At first this caused no comment in official or social circles here, because of the well-known fact that Mrs. Gait was the friend and almost the only female companion of the president's cousin particularly when Miss Wilson, the president's eldest daughter, was away from home. In the late spring and early summer of this year, however, it was noticed that Mrs. Gault was frequently seen in a White House automobile when the president was taking his daily drive. She and Miss Bones often accompanied him to the golf links, where they formed a gallery to watch his play with Dr. Grayson. People began to comment on the growing intimacy between the president and Mrs. Gault and notice was taken of the marked attention which he paid her when they were in public together. Mrs. Gait is next to the youngest in a family of nine children. Her eldest brother is Rolfe P. Boiling, manager of the Panama branch of the Commer* * - " ^ ?- - * ciai xvauonai nana, ui w nomiigiv.., with offices at Panama and Cristobal. Canal Zone. Mr. Boiling is married and makes his home at Panama City. He was formerly connected with the Commercial National Bank in Washington. The other brothers of Mrs. Gait are: Dr. William A. Boiling, of Louisville: John Randolph Boiling, a bachelor, of Washington, and Richard Wilmer Boiling and Julian B. Boiling, both of the national capital. One of Mrs. Gait's sisters married. A. H. Gait, a brother of Norman Gait, who is still associated with the wealthy jewelry business founded here by the grandfather of Norman Gait. Two other sisters are Mrs. M. H. Maury, of Anniston, Ala,, and Miss Bertha Boiling, who lives with her mother, Mrs. Wm. H. Boiling, in Washington. Mrs. Norman Gait, while maintaining her own home spends the greater part of her time with here mother, with whom she is constantly seen taking motor rides about the city. Mrs. Gait drives her own electric car, and though enthusiastic and fond of motoring and an export chauffeur, figured in a painful accident a few months ago, when her machine skidded and was overturned in Pennsylvania avenue. Neither Mrs. Gait nor her mother, who was with her in the car, was seriously injured. Mrs. Gait is an accomplished musician and a pianist of marked ability. She is moderately found of bridge, but finds more pleasue in out-of-doors diversion, adding to her love of motoring a fondness for golf, at which she can give a good account of herself. Mrs. Gait is a beautiful woman, of a distinct brunette type; plump, weighs about 140 pounds, is about five feet five inches tall, has masses of black hair and large hazel eyes. Although her husband died in 1908, she had never until last year appeared in public in anything save black, gray or dull blue. This summer for the first time she has worn white. She is an Episcopalian and extremely active in church and parish work. She is about forty years old and comes from Virginia, the president's home state. The president met her less than a year ago, not very long after the White House abandoned social activities because of the death in August of Mrs. Wilson. She witnessed the naval review in New York in May from the presidential yacht, the Mayflower, where she was the guest of Miss Margaret Wilson. At that time rumors were afloat that the president had developed a strong liking for Mrs. Gait and that another White House romance was to be expected. Later Mrs. Gait went for a visit at Harlakenden House, the summer home of President Wilson, and for a month or more she was a member of the circle there. The president made two visits to Cornish during Mrs. Gait's stay. It was then, as the national capital understands it, that the romance developed. They took long rides together in the big White House touring car through the beautiful mountain country of New Hampshire and Vermont. It was noted then that the president had abandoned his practice of riding beside the chauffeur of the White House automobile, and that he preferred a seat in the tonneau with his daughter and her charming guest. The president derived a great deal of pleasure, it is said, from reading with Mrs. Gait, finding that her literary taste was a source of common interest. With Mrs. Gtlt's departure from the summer White House in August reports that they were to be engaged took tangible shape. These reports were received, of course, with the greatest interest in official and social circles at the capital, but the president's friends refused to discuss the matter in any way. Indeed, it was intimated broadly that the president would resent attempts to pry into his personal affairs. Mrs. Gait returned to Washington several weeks ago after visiting friends in Boston. Last week she sat near the presidential box in the reviewing stand for the Grand Army parade. Mrs. Gait, who lives in a handsome residence at 1308 20th street, northwest, in the fashionable section of Washington, has made her home here since her marriage in 1896 to Norman Gait. She was Mr. Gait's second wife. Her husband was the son of William N. Gait, head of the firm of William N. Gait & Co, one of the largest and oldest jewelry establishments in Washington. When Mr. Gait died it was estimated that Mrs. Gait received about $250,000. After his death Mrs. Gait purchased the interest of Sterling Gait, a brother-in-law, in the jewelry store, and since that time the estaniisnmeni has been managed for her by her two brothers. The marriage of the president and Mrs. Gait, which will likely take place in December at the home of the brideelect. will be the third in the Wilson family since March 4, 1913. The president's daughters, Mrs. Francis Bowes Sayre and Mrs. William Gibbs McAdoo, were married at the White House since the President's incumbency. Miss Jessie Woodrow Wilson and Mr. Sayre were married Noverber 2">, 1913. and Miss Eleanor Wilson and Mr. McAdoo were married May 7, 1914. Mrs. Gait has never taken a very active part in society here, but those who know here best say that she and her late husband were fond of the domestic life, has simple tastes, reads much and personally attends to the management of her domestic affairs. Her home a model of beauty and daintiness, contains rare bric-a-brac gethered from all parts of the world, and she has many heirlooms in mahogany and silver that will add beauty to the private apartments of the White House.?Morton M. Milford in Louisville Courier-Journal. Doing a Kind Act.?"Willie did you tie that tin on the dog's tail?" "Yes, sir." said the small boy. "I'm trying to do a kind act every day.

The number of drunk men on the streets yesterday appeared to the casual observer to be much smaller than on circus day one year ago. One year several drunks were to be seen on almost every block, Yesterday a drunk man was a rare sight, although there were a few who were disgustingly in evidence. The gallon-a-month law has long since demonstrated its effectiveness. Each day, however, adds proof to the fact that the legislators acted wisely when they passed It. It has done more to curtail drinking In South Carolina than any other law that was ever placed on the statute bookB. South Carolina appears to be rapidly advancing in temperance.

It Pays to Do Right. A little more than a year ago a man was called upon to do some work for a woman, and he charged her Just about three times what the work was worth. He charged her $16, when $6 would have been a fair price. He may have thought that, being a woman, she n./t.?U 1/n^nr \ vvuuiu iiv/l rviit/yy anj uciici. But she did know that she was overcharged, and, while she paid the bill, she did not forget about it. She told her friends about It, and when her freinds looked Into the matter and found that the woman had been overcharged simply because she was a woman and would not know any better, they were indignant. They In turn told their friends about It, and in this way the story got noised around a good many places. And the man's business began falling off. People who had been patronizing him took their business elsewhere, and people who had never patronized him took good care not to do so. During the year the man's business has dwindled to almost nothing. He has ruined himself by Just one wrong step. The moral is, of course, that It pays to do right, under all circumstances and to all people.?Anderson Daily Mall.

No lower character, no more contemptible, scurrilous, reprehensible, Incorrigible cur walks the earth than the murderer of ones' good name. No words are written, printed or "cussed" that are strong enough to characterize his diabolism. The chief earmark of the slanderer is his predisposition to the very thing he accuses his victim of; this is practically the invariable rule. Be the slanderer professional, official or private in life, he has somewhere in the dark closet of his own miserable existence the very skeleton that he endeavors to fasten upon his victim. His mind runs that way. Things like that appeal to him more than anything else. His activities along those channels seem more easy and congenial; and if confederates in the propagation of poison are desired he can find them among his former associates in similiar experiences. There is nothing too mean for a slanderer to do. There are no words too strong to use in describing him.
