Japan's Victories. Memphis Commercial-Appal. Slowly dribbling in from the east comes the news of battles between the Japanese and the Russians, and the victories seem to be usually and largely on the side of the islanders. On the water -the Japs are more than a match for their continental neigh bors, which is usually the case with peoples- who live in the sea-girt is lands and to whom the water is home. The end is not yet, however, unless we are mistaken, and while the Japs may add victory to victory, they are in the end likely to wear themselves out whipping their stolid and swarming enemies. Neverthe less the Japs are making it lively. Historical. At his unique coal camp at Zeigler, Ill.. Joseph Leiter was talking the other day about Paris. "In Paris one autumnal afternoon another American and I boarded a carriage for a drive." he said. " NWhere shall I tell the cabby to take us?' my friend said. " 'Oh. anywhere.' said I. "Accordingly he told the man to drive us to the tomb of George Wash ington. "The cabby bowed gravely and whipped up. For an hour he tooled us here and there, and up and down, and finally he halted before a statute in a little square of grass. " 'Behold, sirs,' he said 'the tomb of the great, immortal George Washing ton.' .We looked at the statue. " 'But why,' said my friend, 'does the inscription, here refer to Chris topher Columbus?' "Because, sir,' replied the cabby, 'they were twin brothers, and died in each 'other's arms to save the crown of England.' Lipton's Gallantry. New York Herald. That Sir Thomas Lipton is much of a Chesterfield needs- no confirma tion, tho;:gh this story, which is add ed testimony, shows that he happily turned a well-worn joke and gave comfort in defeat. Among his guests on the Erin one day before the races were sailed was a fetching Miss of seventeen who wished him a sweep ing success. . "I'm confident I have the better boat," said he. "And yet one should not always be too sure." "Yes," she assented coyly. "There's many a slip between the cup and the Lip."' "I would be amply compensated for defeat," he replied, with a bow. "If the slip were a slip of a girl like *A New Kind of Ram. Little Helen had just come home after a visit to grandma's and was telling mother all the wonderful things she had seen. "One day I saw a whole flock of sheep," she said, "and there were a lot of rams too. Grandpa said they were fine ones and that he had one of almost every kind there was." The next day Helen started to write a letter. "Who are you writing to dear?" asked mother. "Grandpa," instantly answered Helen, "to tell him a new kind of ram I'm sure he hasn't got in his flock. I hear Mr. Smith over at the water tower talking of it today." "What kind is that?" asked mother. "A hydraulic ram," replied Helen. A curious means of moving boats is employed on the Elbe. A chain ago miles long lies at the bottom of the stream wvhich is too swift to nav igate in the usual way. The boats are 18o feet long and provided with 200 horsepower steam engines, which turn a drum fastened on the deck. The chain comes in over the bow, passes along on rollers to the drum, around which it is wound three times. The chain is the carried to the stern, where it drops back into the water. It is the longest chain in the world. Doctor-WVell, sir, I congraulate you. It's all nicely over. Newestp.op-And what is it, doctor? Doctor-One hundred dollars, thank you.-Town Topics. Canvasser-Who is Mr. Henpeck going to support. Mrs. Henpeck-Me.-New York A CARD: To The Democratic Voters of the County. When you first elected me sheriff you simply showed your confidence in me as a man and your willingness to try me in an important office. My ability to fill the office was to be test ed. Last Tuesday you did much more: I had stood the fair test of service, and you again put the stamp of your approval on my official con duct and record. At first I was grate ful for your confidence: now I am doubly grateful for -our confidence and your approval. I have no power to make laws: it is my duty to exe cute the law. I am the servant of the courts. I feel that I have given vou a clean, fearless, energetic. and efficient administration of the office of Sheriff: and my record in the past is my promise for the future. I wish I had the words to say how grateful I am to my generous friends in the mill clubs. in the c;ther town clubs, and in the clubs throughout the coun tv. For those who supported me I have warm and grateful apprecia tion: for my competitor and those who supported him I have nothing but the kindest feelings: for my county and state I have the earnest desire and intention to render the best service of which I am capable. I. MN. Buford. September 3, 1904. Editor Herald and News: I have received several letters from citi zens of Newberry stating that Hon. I. H. McCalla has been sending out public documents under my frank, and desiring to kndw if such procedure was authorized by me. I beg to request that you will make this public answer through the columns of your paper. I know nothing of any books sent out by Mr. McCalla, and if any have been sent out by him it is without my knowledge or authority. Some time ago, he sent me a list of names of people whom he said had asked him to request me to send them horse books or year books, and I sent the list to my secretary in Washington, and he says that they were sent out. But they were my own books, and went out under my frank. This is not unusual, as I am always glad to send public documents to people who de sire them and I have their names, and often send them out to a list of people on request of their friends. This is the extent of my knowledge of the matter. Yours very truly, A'. C. Latimer. Her Finish Anticipated.

They tell a good story about "Abe" Hummel, the New York attor ney. acocrding to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Years ago this midget of American jurisprudence was trying a case before Judge Van Brunt, then as now, a person of awful majesty on the bench. One of the witnesses was unwilling or bashful, or some thing else, and Hummel, who -was cross-examining her, worked very hard for every answer he got. "Come 'ow, ma dam, I want to know just what was said. Let me have it, word for word." "Oh, I cannot bring myself to re peat such words. Really, I am too much ashamed. They are not fit for respectable people to hear:' "All right, then. madam: just whis per them to the judge. "Don't you consider him a man who can be trusted ?" "WVell,"' replied the Boston purist.

The young man was being enter tained by the small boy while he wait ed for the young lady to appear. "I say," said the youngster, after a long list of questions, "your mother doesn't live here, does she?" "No. She does not." "You haven't got any relations here either, have you." "None at all." "I said so,' said the boy in 'a sat isfied way. "Said it to whom?' "To sister when she said she be lieved your uncle had your watch, 'cause you never took it out to see if it was time to go." Senator Fairbanks, the republican vice-presidential nominee, delivered his first formal speech of the cam paign a. White River Junction, Ver mont, on Monday afternoon. Truth is stranger than. fiction-to the chronic liar. "Between the two, ,Jones anid his, wife cover a good deal of lingual ground." "How so?" "Well, he makes a good after-din ner speech and she makes a good be fore-breakfast one."-Detroit Free Press. He-There are two periods in a man's life when he doesn't understand a woman. She-What are they? He-Before he's married and after he's married.-Ally Sloper. The man who thinks twice before speaking seldom says anything. Money is always a satisfactory traveling companion.
