DEATH ON A PALE HORSE.
One night in Januar}-, in the year
183G. two or three young inrn, while
at a farm house not far from Old
Washington, Tex., manufactured and
turned loose upon the unsuspecting
citizens of the town a ghost that cost
one negro the loss of a leg, and caused
the president of the republic to order
out the army, creating the greatest
consternation a ghost ever caused on
earth. These young men, one of whom
is yet living, were spending the night
with an old doctor of the name of
Byan, who resided on his plantation
about two miles from the capital.
They had been hunting during the day,
and, after supper, while smoking in
the doctor's office, which was a small,
isolated building located in a corner of
the front yard, they noticed a skeleton
in an open closet. It was the skeleton
of a very large man and perfectly
articulated. The night was a little
cold, and one of them remarked, as he
lit a cigar and seated himself before
the fire :
"Now, if we had a jug of Bourborj,
we would be fixed."
"Weli, suppose we send after a bot
tle ?" said another.
To the objection that they had no
one to send, George Wilson said :
"Send the stiff," nodding his head
toward the skeleton.
"Just the thing," replied the first
speaker. "My old white horse knows
the road to town, and, if started, he
will go straight to Jack Campbell's
saloon and stop."
They all laughed as a picture of the
ghost on the white horse come into
their minds, and one of them insisted
that the idea was too good to pass
without being carried out.
"Go and get the horse," he said,
"and I will write the note."
The dare devil, never thinking as to
the consequences, wrote a short note
to his friend and placed it in an en
velope. The letter was sealed and
addressed to Mr. Campbell and then'
tied to the bony skeleton's fingers.
Then they securely fastened the skel
eton to the well-cinched Spanish sad
dle. The old horse did not much like
the looks of his rider, and when he
was turned loose he started towards
the town of Washington in a gallop.
Washington was at that time the
capital of the Republic of Texas, and
a great crowd had assembled in the
town to witness congressional debates
and discuss the latest news from Mex
ico. The young men, after watching
the horse and his horrible looking
rider for a moment, turned and went
back into the office, not without some
misgiving as to the result of such a
haremscarem piece of deviltry. They
had hardly seated themselves in the
doctor's comfortable office before the
fire when the report of a pistol reached
their ears, followed by a most unearth
ly yell. They did not learn until the
next day just what happened.
An old planter by the name of
Holmes was riding slowly along on his
way from town to his home, when he
suddenly found himself, as he said,
face to face with a genuine ghost. He
did not lose any time in asking ques
tions. It was light enough for him to
see the hideous thing pretty plainly.
He was a game man, but he afterwards
said that he was scared out of his
senses. The old white horse was
trotting slowly along and there sat the
grim monster bolt upright in the sad
dle. He could see its grinning teeth,
hear its bones rattle, and he imagined
that his eyes were two balls of fire.
He shouted something, but it kept
coming and seemed to be riding right
at him. He did manage to draw his
pistol with a shaking hand and fire.
The flash and the report frightened
the old white horse, and he sprang
forward in a gallop, and then the old
bones rattled as if the devil himself
were shaking them. The farmer's
horse needed no urging. As much
frightened as his master, he wheeled
in his tracks and started back to town
with the speed of the wind. Mr.
Holmes looked back and saw the white
horse close to him, ?nd it looked as if
the terrible monster was reaching out
its long bony fingers, eager to clutch
him and tear him to pieces. His own
horse happened to be a good one, and
under the stimulant of fright and his
master's spurs he managed to keep in
the lead. As soon as the farmer
reached town he began to fire the re
maining shots from his pepper-box
and shout for help.
It was early and the stores were
still open. People rushed out on the
sidewalks, and when they saw a man
riding at the top of his horse's speed
and some terrible grinning white
object on a white horse, riding after
him, they did not know what to make
of it. The negroes shouted "Ghost !"
and l;hen one man fired a shot at the
thing. That was the signal for a gen
eral uproar, and scene of excitement
and consternation such as Gen. Hous
ton said "was never equalled outside
of the infernal regions." Mr. Holmes
would have stopped in front of the
hotel, but his frightened horse enter
tained different ideas on the subject,
and ran on around the plaza. It never
occurred to a single individual that
the thing they saw was a human skel
eton.
Congress was in session at the time,
and ;he members rushed into the
street, supposing that nothing less
than the vanguard of Santa Anna's
army had surprised the capital. In
those unhappy times everyone carried
arms and as Farmer Holmes came
around the second time with his white
hair streaming in the wind and death
or the devil on his white horse in hot
pursuit, the Texans opened fire. Pis
tols, muskets and shotguns were
emptied into the pack of bones, and
they could be heard rattling and crack
ing above the stentorial yells of the
flying farmer. Strangely enough, not
one shot of the first volley struck the
white horse. Hounds, of which there
were forty packs in the town, joined
in the pursuit, while the engineers of
the two steamboats lying at the wharf
turned all the steam in their boats'
boilers into their whistles.
"What in the devil is it ?" said
Gen. Houston to the secretary of war.
"Order out the Rifles and capture the
thing. They are not afraid of the
devil himself."
Women and children were screaming
and the negroes were praying. At a
corner of the street the farmer's horse
collided with an old negro and fell,
throwing Mr. Homes sprawling in the
sand. The negro crawled away with
a broken leg, and Mr. Holmes shouted,
"He has got me now, by thunder."
The old white horse, having nothing
to follow, trotted around to Mr. Camp
bell's saloon, where he stopped and
interested himself in kicking at the
hounds. The crowd, including several
congressmen and men who had distin
guished themselves in a dozen battles
with Mexicans and Iudians. ran inside
and fired at the thing through the
windows. Not a man was game enough
to face his satauic majesty and ask
him what he wanted. These men were
not afraid on the battlefield or the field
of honor, hut the devil on his pale
horse possessed terrors that crushed
all human fortitude. The strings with
which the bones had been tied to the
saddle had doubtless become weakened
by the great straiu to which they had
been subjected, and when three or
four monster bloodhounds seized the
skeleton they easily tore it loose and
it fell with a clatter on the sidewalk.
The whole pack fell upon it, snarling
and yelping, and dragged it about in
the street. Sonic of the bolder ones
peeped from the saloon and saw the
saddle empty and the hounds tearing
a white object to pieces and one, into
whose mind a ray of the truth had
crept said, "Let us go out and help
the dogs to kill the devil."
Gen. Houston, when told the true
story, threatened to have the three
worthies exiled or shot. Mr. Wilson,
who is yet living, says that he had to
hide out from Fanner Holmes for a
long time, and that he never did for
give him until they mot on the battle
field of San Jacinta in the following
April. It is said that Santa Anna
never laughed but once while he was
a prisoner in the Texas camp, and that
was over this story as told to him by
an American officer. "I think," he
said, "that I should have ran away as
the old farmer did. for we are all very
much afraid of the devil.
The Acquittal of Col. Jack Anderson.
Several lawyers were relating earl.'
experiences one day last week and odo
of the stories ran along in this way :
"In my early career I became con
nected with a murder case out "West.
This was many years ago, and the
scene of the story was a border town,
where ingenuity made up for lack of
legal knowledge. Nearly every man
in the place carried a gun, and shoot
ings were quite frequent. A sort of
moral wave happened along one day,
and the? Prosecuting Attorney an
nounced that the next killing would
result in a hanging. The people said
he was right and the Sheriff gave it
out that he had the rope ready. This
was the condition of the atmosphere
when one summer afternoon,; the news
went around that Colonel Jack Ander
son had shot and killed Major Wil
liams. Jack Anderson, it seems, was
at the bar of the Nugget saloon drink
ing with friends when Major Williams
and several others entered. The
Colonel and Major were political rivals
and bad blood existed between them.
The two parties stood in front of the
bar, some distance apart. The Major
ordered a whiskey straight, and, after
drinking it, picked up the glass of
water accompanying the liquor. Look
ing at it for a moment, he turned and
stepped toward Colonel Jack Ander
son. As the latter was about to leave
the bar. Major Williams dashed the
water in his face. Anderson whipped
out his revolver and shot the Major
through the heart. Public opinion
condemned the shooting for this rea
son?that while the Major's act de
served rebuke, it in no way placed the
Colonel's life in danger, and so the
plea of self-defence would not stand.
Anderson's friends engaged me to.
defend him at the trial, and I'll admit
that it looked to me like a hopeless
case. However, when the trial came
up I had outlined a defence that pre
sented the only chance of victory.
The jury was selected, and as well as
I could judge was against my client.
The defense summoned no witnesses,
and the case closed with the cold fact
being impressed on the jury that a
life had' been taken on trivial provo
cation. Captain Bill Thompson was
the Prosecuting Attorney, and in his
speech to the jury he emphasized the
necessity of putting a stop to the
reckless use of firearms as illustrated
in this case. His speech was a good
one'and, if anything besides the evi
dence was needed to convict my client,
the address of Bill Thompson would
have done it. During the trial I had
taken but little action, and every
friend of Anderson's was of the opin
ion that a mistake had been made in
securing me for the defense. You
will be surprised, however, when I
tell you that after a five-minutes talk
to the jury they returned a verdict of
acquittal. How did they reach that
conclusion ?
This way : When Bill Thompson
concluded his address to the jury, I
took the floor. Now, I knew Bill was
quick tempered and carried a gun. I
also knew he would shoot as quick as
a flash if his anger was roused. So,
facing the jury, I outlined the evi
dence, bringing out the fact that An
derson had in no way provoked a quar
rel. While talking I walked to the
water cooler, and, filling the glass with
water, gradually approached Bill
Thompson's chair. Holding the glass
in my right hand I raised my left and
then launched into a fiery speech,
stating that my client was being made
a victim of the moral spasm then pre
valent. I had been so quiet during
the progress of the trial that this sud
den outburst startled Judge, jury law
yers and spectators. Everybody was
attention. As I became more and
more bitter in my remarks I could see
Thompson moving uneasily in his
chair. His face was pale and he
showed every evidence of anger. I
had worked myself up to a climax of
abuse heaped on Thompson and then
to top it off dashed the glass of water
full in his face. Excitement ? Well,
I should say there was. As the water
struck Bill's face he sprang to his
feet, and in the twinkling of an eye
had his gun out. His arm was held
by friends, however, and thus my life
was saved. For the next five minutes
the Sheriff had all he could do to keep
peace in the room. Then I was
brought before the Judge for con
tempt. My scheme had worked to
perfection, and I was as cool as a man
could be under the circumstances. I
asked the Judge for permission to ex
plain my conduct, and, this being
granted, I made my explanation vir
tually a plea for my client.
"Your Honor," I said ; "no one in
this room has more respect for your
self nor a higher regard for Captain
Thompson than I have. Yet it will
surprise you both to learn that for
weeks I have practiced and studied to
make perfect my conduct of to-day.
For weeks I rehearsed the part you
saw me play. Why ? There was a
life at stake. My client was on trial
for killing a man who simply threw
water in his face. On this plaiu
statement of a fact he would be con
victed. The jury was not present at
the time of the killing, and would be
governed by the evidence. I had but
one recourse, and that was to show so
simple an act as that committed by
Major Williams would rouse in any
man the most violent anger. And I
venture to say that were it not for the
hand of a friend, who restained Cap
tain Thompson, I would have paid the
penalty?"
?' 'You would, by-,' said Bill.
"Now, your Honor, and gentlemen
of the jury, I leave the case of my
client in your hands."
Five minutes later Jack Anderson
was a free man.?Mac, in the St.
Louis Republic.

The "Widow's Superior Charms.
The ordinar}-unmarried girl is often
most a"'active to a man in her igno
rance 01 the world and its ways. If
she lets it appear that she wants to
know little except such as he may
wish her to know, her charm, in his
esteem, is bound to be increased. A
man loves to be exalted to the posi
tion of keeper of a girl's heart and
mind. It adds to his self-esteem, and
gives him that sense of a vested inter
est in another's life which reaches its
climax in marriage.
But widows are in a different case.
They do not allure by their ignorance.
A dull widow repels men. But
sparkling, bright conversational and
tactful widow will, if she is young,
prove most seducing to many members
of the other sex. Most men love in
nocence in a woman more than aught
else. But there are others to whom
worldly experience, especially if ac
companied by beauty and evident
good nature, is a far stronger lure.
American widows excel in charming
mankind. It is only necessary to
think of the number of them who
have become part and parcel of En
glish society to realize this. The
American girl gets more than her
proper share of masculine adoration in
the States. Perhaps this makes the
American widow's social deportment
appeal more to English sympathies
and hearts.
Unmarried girls may be insipid in
their talk and yet attract a good deal
of attention. Not so the widow.
Experience has taught her the way to
men's esteem, and thence, perhaps, to
their hearts. Who like her can flat
ter and tickle the vanity of the aver
age male ? It is no crime in her, oh
dear no ! Men are vain and like to be
flattered, just as cats like to be strok
ed the right way ; and, having a good
opinion of themselves, they are ex
ceedingly prone to form a high opin
ion of the person in whose agreeable
society this little weakness of the
male nature is recognized and catered
to. This is the widow's art. As a
student and expert at life she is miles
above the unwedded maiden.
For tact she is not to be beaten.
She is the best of peacemakers, even
as she is often a hostess of the first
rank.?London News.
Muscular Cramp.
Muscular cramp, muscular exhaust
ion, or myalgia, as it is variously call
ed in common and medical parlance, is
often confunded with neuralgia and
rheumatism. There are undoubtedly
many instances of muscular cramp in
which one or the other of the last
named conditions is present; but in
these cases the exhaustion depends
upon the ex'sting neuralgic or rheu
matic condition, and disappears under
treatment of the original trouble.
Myalgia?the word is derived from
the Greek, and means muscular pain?
arises from exhaustion of the substance
of the muscle. This loss of vitality is
in most cases the result of subjecting
the muscle to excessive or long-contin
ued activity under unfavorable condi
tions.
The amount of vitality which a mus
cle consumes when in action is, of
course, proportionate to the amount of
work required of it, and under normal
conditions the supply furnished by the
blood is sufficient for the need. Un
der adverse conditions, however, there
is no opportunity offered for the com
plete recovery of the muscle from its
labors, and a strain is the result. The
muscle feels lame and sore, and not in
frequently one can almost imagine
that in some way it has become tied
into knots.
Myalgia may attack any muscle,
though there arc certain ones which,
by reason of their location, are en
dangered more than others. Seam
stresses are very liable to have oramp
in the muscles of the shoulder on ac
count of the steady application and
confinement necessitated by the na
ture of their occupation.
A favorite seat for myalgia, as most
of us can testify from painful expe
rience, is in the calves of the legs.
The pain is especially severe on lying
down at night, and may be so great as
even to draw up the limbs.
Massage offers the only certain re
lief from myalgia." The rubbing should
be brisk to insure an abundant circu
lation of blood to the distressed mus
cles, and for this reason also it should
be the direction of the vessels through
which the blood flows.
Liniments of various kinds may be
tried, or what is better, the external
application of alcohol may be resorted
to. Cloths wrung out of hot water,
with a teaspoonful or so of laudanum
sprinkled on them, and placed directly
over the aching muscles, are useful to
ease the pain.
When the trouble is in the muscles
of the leg, hot foot baths may be em
ployed to restore the circulation in the
limbs and to "draw out" the pain.
The observation of general hygienic
measures should not be forgotten
where there is a tendency to muscular
cramp.?Youth's Companion.
? A tender heart hurts occasionally ;
but nobody who has tried one will ex
change, it for the other kind.

The Fear of Thunder.
"Electric storms arc far lees
dangerous than the majority of peo
ple imagine," writes Edward Bok in
The Ladirs' Home Journal. "That a
severe lightning storm is terrifying
admits of question, and will some
times bring uneasiness to the heart of
the strongest man. But the real dan
ger is slight. The chance of light
ning a bouse, for example, is not odc
in a million. Particularly is this true
in cities, strung as most of them are
with electric wires. The greater dan
ger from electric storms is in the coun
try, and even the danger may be less
ened if the simplest and common
sense of precautions are exercised.
The surest electric conductor is a
draught, and if, when a thunder
storm approaches, it is seen that all
windows and doors liable to occasion
a draught are kept closed, the danger
is at once reduced to a minimum. If
a woman is "caught" out in a thunder
storm the safest shelter is a house;,
the most dangerous a tree, particular
ly an oak tree. It is a peculiar, but
nevertheless a proven fact, that the
oak is the most susceptible
of all trees to a current of electrici
ty. Over fifty per cent, of trees
struck by lightning storms during one
summer, the government statician
tells us, were oaks, while the beech
tree was the least harmed. Therfore,
the worst possible place of shelter in
an electric storm is under an oak tree,
while by all odds, the safest place is
in the house and out of a draught.
* * * The actual danger (from an
electrical storm) is, in truth, not from
the lightning nor the thunder, but
from the nervous condition into which
women allow themselves to fall. And
this is a danger which they can avoid.
A little calm thought and a few grains
of common-sense will do it."
? A clever workman in a cutlery
factory in Sheffield, England, has re
cently made a dozen pairs of shears
each so minute that they all together
weigh less than half a grain. That is
about the weight of a postage stamp.
Each pair was perfect, and would cut
if sufficiently delicate material could
be found. Lying on a piece of white
paper they seemed no larger than

? Tho Carolina Spartan in speaking of
the recent decision by Judge Simonton
against the dispensary law, says : "There
has been much bungling work done by
the Legislature in endeavoring to patch
up this law. Tho worst feature is that
they have taught tho people that it is right
to secure a certain result by indirection
and Legislative legerdemain. Fair, hon
est, manly Legislation will tend to make
loyal, law-abiding citizens, who will obey
the laws and respect the lawmakers. But
when Legislators resort to expediences,
political manoeuvering and the tricks of
ehyeters and pettifoggers to deceive tho
people, or bolster upa bad cause, orto
cover up some of their bad work, then
they lower the etandard of citizenship
and teach people to disregard and violate
law."

? It is said that every part of a shoe
can be made by machinery. Indeed ma
chinery is now so wonderfully made it
can do the work of mankind in the most
accurate and labor saving way, and man's
brain is required for direction, at the
present time, where his fingers were for
merly needed for accomplishment. Every
stitch and eyelet about a fine shoe can
now be put in by a machine.

Legislature, has introduced a bill to fine

ANDERSON, S. C,

HILL-ORR DRUG CO.
Gentllmen :
I am much pleased with the "Mas
tic Ready Mixed Paint." I have had
my house?"Rose Hill"?painted sev
eral times, and have used many dif
ferent brands of Ready Mixed Paint,
and have had it painted with Lead
and Oil. In my judgment the MAS
TIC gives better results, and is more
satisfactory in every way than any of
them. It has a gloss and finish about
it rarely fouod in Paints, and when I
have more painting to do I shall cer
tainly use it. It is a mistaken notion
that Ready Mixed Paints cost more,
and if the people will use a high
grade, like the MASTIC, the preju
dice existing against thera will die
out. You are at liberty to U3e this as
you like.
Respectfully yours,
B. F. WHITNER.
We have handled this Paint for
years, and have sold several thousand
gallons of it under an absolute guar
antee in each ca:e of purity, quality
ai d satisfaction.
We have sold it with the under
standing that we would appreciate
notice if it wasn't right. With a sin
gle exception we have never had a
complaint. This ought to count for
something.
Remember, it costs as much in time
and money to put on cheap Paint as
to put on good Paint. Get the best.
LEAD and OIL if you prefer it.
We have it in large quantities.
