The Hot Supper for the benefit of the Sons of Temperance in the Masonic Hall on last Friday was a very successful and pleasant occasion. The young ladies in charge were very atteutivo to the custom ers, and to them must he attributed the suc cess of the occasion. When the reporter ate his dinner ho was waited on by six or seven charming young ladies, and it made him feel like he was in some distant world, surrounded by o number of *weet little fairies, each ?ne trying to excel the other In their courteous attention. He regretted that he could not eat six or seven dinners. The whole affair was admirably arrange?! and well managed, everything being dis posed of before ?) o'clock p. m. Thc net proceeds were about $70. On last Monday night a tenant bouse on the plantation of Mr. J. J. Dobbins, about one-half of a mile from the Kastern side of the citv limits, was burned down. The house had just been completed, and was not occupied. The burning was evidently the work of an incendiary, as a broken jug, which had the odor of kerosene oil about it, was round near hy. On Tuesday morning Mr. Dobbins brought the pieces o? the jug to the citv, and, alter inquiry, fuund out that a negro natue?? Wost Jcnkitts had uought Borne keroseno oil in a iug at the ?tore of Messrs. N. 0. Farmer ck Bro. on Monday afternoon. The mouth of th? droken'lug was peculiarly shaped, and one of Mr. Farmer's clerks recognized it as the same one he had tilled for Jenkins the even ing before. A warrant was immediately issued far Jenkins, and Policeman McGee mon had him in limbo. Jenkins told sev eral conflicting stories about tb? matter, ind finally admitted that the house was burned, but denied doing it himself. He said that two strange negroes set lire to the house, and that he was paid to show them where it was located. The weather for the past week has been untie changeable and very cold.

She did not believe at all that her dark brown hood trot dark brown, but black, until alie had compared it herself with a piece of black cloth, though her mother had told ber all along it was brown. And she didn't believe rou could catch a robin, even if jou did get the salt on its tail. And she didn't oelieve but what if vow just kept on wal king-?Talking walking, you would get to the end of the world after awhile,-the very edge of the end, where it stopped,-and noth ing waa left but air to step on. She did not believe that was true at all, what the big Cobb girl said, that you couldn't get to the end becauno there wasn't any end. She said she meaut to start to walking herself some day and see. "You'll wait until you get through going to school, won't you?" asked her brother Ed. "I heard you say the other day that you won't have Nellie get ahead of you for anything. Hut she will if you don't look out; she'll be clear through the eighth grads before you get even half way to the end of the world I Maybe she'll be through the seventh and into the sixth by the time you get back. And then she'll be two 5rades ahead of you nil the rest of your ava." Violet could not help feeling rather worried at this dreadful prophecy of Ed's. "1'erhnpn it wouldn't take me as long as all that," she said. "I don't believe it would. But I guess I'll wait, any way. It makes mc tired euuugh vu walk over to Aunt Nancy's-and of course the ond of the world is a great deal farther than that. Bo I will wait lill then. I'll be stronger then, I sup pose." "Yes," said Ed ; "and more sensible, let us hope. By tbeu perhaps you won't be quite such a goosie." "Uh, I don't oelieve that," answered Violet, quickly. You see for yourself, don't you, how unbelieving she was? Well, this being so unbelieving was what got her into trouble. Up to her very waist in trouble, as you shall see. Violet's folks lived in a mining re gion, and about two blocks from ber nome there was a great space of ground, where the miners had been digging for copper ore. But they had recently aban doned this claim, and they left it look ing like a pond with toe water all dipped out of it, a pond with a very muddy bottom. The mud was very deep in some parts, and I don't see why un der ;b? tua lbs pisT ?ss nHriwed at all, especially in a town where such un believing little girls as Violet lived. But there was a rickety old fence around three sides of it, and on the other aide was the brook from which the miners had obtained their watet, to you ace there was no danger of any one falling in ; and I suppose the inhabitants of that town never dreamed thai any one would deliberately climb the fence and try to wali on the mud. That very thing happened, though 1 Violet Swin ton tried to walk on that mud ; she didn't believe she would sink. You see, the bot sun shining on the mud, had caused a thick crust to form on the top, and the beat had also made the crust crack all over into what Violet called "dead little angles, squares and things, just like the teacher made on tho black board." "This is a right-angle," she said, cau tiously stepping between two cracks near the edge. "This is a circle," taking another step, " 'cept it aiu't round enough ; this is a square and this is a" "O Violet 1 don't go any further," cried Nellie, who was looking on over the fence in great concern. "You'll sink' in tho mud, sure. Ed said this mornlcj; it waon't safe." "Oh, pshaw! I dou't believe it," said Violet, patting forward her foot to step on a right-angled triangle. "This is a-n-bat do you call-it-a Oh my I lom sinking! I am! Oh! Oh ! Ob ! Nellie, come over and pull me out, quick !" Then poor little Nellie, who bad done her best to keep Violet off from the mud, crawled through the fence, and tried to rescue ber friend. But sb? only sank herself-clear to the tops of her ?boes. And there was Violet sinking deeper and deeper. 8he was in over her Knees already. "Let's scream," cried Nelli?, franti cally, "let's scream like everything 1" And then they screamed. Now, once in a while, screaming is s very good thing; this time it was. For the neigh bors esme, before the echo died, almost, it was such a dreadful scream. And they pulled out Violet, just ai she had got to ber waist in the mud, and Nellie wriggled herself out when she saw them coming. And Violet's mother took her home, and gave her a bath, aod put her to bed, and scolded her and kissed ber, and scolded her some more. And after awhile when Ed came in, Violet confi ded to bim that "whether there was any end to the world or not, she didn't be lieve there was any bottom to it." Youth's Companion.
