"COUNTY COURT HOUSE."
If (ho new court house wore a department
building in tin* capital of
a great nation there might ho some
excuse Cor hihtdliug it. 11 the new
court house wore a ton cent store in
any kind of a town, llrere would he
reason for advertising it.
But a court house, f.non ns Is the
building now being erected in Newberry.
speaks I'or itself. When the
building is completed we shall take
pleasure in telling our friends that
it is the court house erected by the
people of Newberry county at a cost
of something like fifty thousand dollars.
We beTifivc that all the citizens
of Newberry will lake as: especial
pride in toiling visitors what the
building i>.
In ad.lilion lo ibis, the building is
nui a '' ('oiuiiy Cnurl House." N.-wbeir.x
has n'> couuly court. Il is true
that il is a courl house, and that il
luis been creeled by the people ol
Ne\\ Iter r\ eounly. but it is a circuit
eoiut house. If. however, "Couuly
Court Mouse" means a court house
owned bv tin unty. why not have
none further and said : "Courl House
Kroeled by Ihe I'eople of Newberry
Count v. al a Cost of Something Liko
V'iflv Thousand Hollars."
I,el us lake down the sign, ounI
v Court House." It looks cheap. It
fits ill with a building of the si/.o
and proportions and importance of
lire new court bouse. It is a mistakft
that il was ever pul on ihe building,
and the sooner it is take i down llie
betler il will b-\
Surel\ the new court house does
not need a sign. Certain il is that
I ue -i-.: n detracts from the appoarance
of Ihe building. Wherefore,
whv would llie sign remain.
Writing to Himself.
"Some nie 11 on the road write letters
to themselves before they get to
I In* next hotel, so they will appeal
'important.' when they register and
ask for their mail." said a hotel
clerk. 4 'but lhat isn't always the
reason. We soon catch on to them,
because we see their handwriting on
the register and on their mail, and 1
noticed it once in a man whom I
finally got to know very well.
"lie wasn't the kind of fellow who
cared anything about appearing 4 import
ant,* I found out. so I asked him
why he did it. The explanation was
very simple. lie had a miserable
memory, a.id when he was in auolhei
town ami would think of something
he had to do in Columbus he would
ivrile it "ii a slip of paper and mail
il to himself. lie didn I put th.?
.memorandum in his pocket for feai
be would forget about putting it
i here.
"lie said he had used the plan for
a long time, always writing ahead il
lltere was something In another town
be wanted to remember particularly,
<and said il was the best plan he had
ever figured out lo keep from forgetling
things." Columbus Hispateh.
A Prevented Combat.
A scene thai was more llian farcial
occurred in llie house . f commons
lasi s 'ssio i. Two of llie mosl respectable
members of (lie house wer.'
seen wiili their coats oil ami with a
Maid old policeman standing bet ween
1 hem.
'The 1 wo had been downstairs lo
.wash their hands, ami by some mischance
had changed coals. They
iivenI into the house together. One
of them, put ling- bis hand into his
coat pocket. pulled out an old briai
.pipe of very strong flavor. II was
nut his. He looked at the coal, also
that of his neighbor, and. turning
lo his friend, said:
" Kxense nie, but 1 think you have
put on my c.o;ii."
''I beg your pardon: 1 have done
iio| bing of 1 he kind. * *
" I think,' replied ihe oilier parliamentarian.
"Ibis is your pipe; and
if you put your baud into Che riidil
hand poekel of Ihe coal you are wearing
you will find a cigar case."
"Dear me!" was ihe reply, "yon
eehlainlv are right. What shall we
Vie?"
"We cannt change in the
house," observed Ihe first member,
"l.et ns go into llie division lobby."
here's whore the policeman came
in. Seeing the I wo facing one anMlier,
and at the same lime taking olT

Two of a Kind.
Fur some time the Mexican papers
have been attacking; the Transvias
Fleelrieos, chiefly on the ground of
their friyhtfnl annual slauy'hter, says
I!n* New York Post, I'll Diario has
a c,-i-v- of pictures showing a tall
m.i:i in ;i silk hat and red domino, en!
i in*: the infernal regions. Satan is
sittiny on one of two thrones, and the
conversation which ensues, is as follows
:
"What does the lost soul wish?"
'' A place a I your side.''
"Why? Who are you, my hold
friend ?''
"'The soul of a man who used to
manage an enterprise which counted
more than 700 victims every year."
"A conqueror?"
"No I"
"An emulator of Herod!"
"No!"
"An executinner?"
" No!"
are you. then, that you dare
my immense power?"
"I am lite soul of (lie mauayiny
director of die Kledric Trollcly
Ifoad n|' M.-xico City."
At this Satan clambers d 'wn from
'i s ?!ir >!ie ;ireri|iitaidy and. with
eisihora! : bowiny, says:
"All! mi sliniild have said so
sooner! Sit at my riu'ht!"
A Dreadful Expectation.
"In my school days," said a story
teller who was Irving to illustrate
the aihsnrdity and futility of unfounded
fears, "wo used to have a
lecture every Friday afternoon. One
day the lecturer was a yeoloyist, and
chose Niagara Falls for his topic.
"He told us about the geological
formation of the falls, and described
the dill'erenl periods to be trace 1
in the yoryc. and I hen went on to
say I hat the falls were slowly wearing
back toward Buffalo, and that in
the course of some two hundred
thousand years they would have worn
back to Kric. Pa., and that town
would be left liiyh and dry.
"Suddenly one of the yirls in my
das- lie-jan to sol> convulsively.
" 'What is tlve mater?' asked the
teacher in alarm.
" 'Oh/ wailed the yirl. 'my sisler
lives in Krie!' "
Youth's ('onipanion.
Seriously Sprained.
"flood mornin.tr, dohn. How's vour
family?"
"All well, thank you. except my
wife. She slipped down the other day
and badly sprained her back. She's
tried cverythiny the neighbors recommended,
but continues Jo suffer
(erribly.''
"Sorry, old man. but let nie yivc
you a bit of advice. Quit trying all
the lliimrs advised bv your neiyhbors.
No need to yet a doctor. -Itist yo to
W. F. I'elhain ami Son's and yet a
bottle of Andes' (ileal Oil. On?
yood ruhlbiny with that will fix her
all riyhl, and it costs but fifty cents
?cnouyh to cure a dozen sprained
backs."
Andes' (Ireat Oil carries the open
formula on every package, and is the
modern wonder for relieving all
kinds of aches, pains, bruises, scalds,
cuts, burns, cramps and stiff or
drawn muscles. Such little tilings as
headache, toothache, neuraylia and
internal cramps are relieved in two
j to five minutes, and if. after you
have tried the renieily, \?nu are not
pleased with results, the manufacturers
will return your money, (let a
bottle and keep it in the house for
j emeryeiicies.
Too Great a Risk.
Allhoiiyh the tramp had seen a
yreat deal of life, he was no judyc
of character. otherwise he would never
have said what he did to Miss
Corn dia Hawkins, says the Voutill's
Companion. When she said that she
would yivc him a yood dinner if ho
would saw and split wood cnouyh to
pay for it lie attempted to appeal to
her sympathy.
''Madam." lie replied, sadly. "I'd
be ylad to saw and split the wood,
IM be ylad to do anylhiny. but I'm
Hot physically strony. T have a weak
heart, madam, and I 'have to look out
lor i'. "Nou see, I carry my life in
my hands, as ii were." he said, with
what was meant for a win, pathetic
smile.
"Indeed!" and Miss Hawkins yave
an incredulous snilV as she ylaneed at
the palms outstretched for aid. "T
suppose that's the reason you won't
wash 'em?for fear of yet tiny drowned."
His Specialty.
Arriviny, after a ten-mile ride, at
a farm house out west, Dr. R-~, exceedingly
yrave and diynilied in his
demeanor, but rather slow in action,
found i very Mck child, and. :? ; us.
I mil, on siieli occasions many kind
j women from ad.joiuiny farms helpiny
1 the mother, says Harper's Weekly.
The doctor watched the patient for
some time without any move to give
relief.
"iMy dour doctor, can not you do
something- for the poor child?"
"Dear madam," answered the doctor,
"I am a little uncertain yet
about litis case; hut please he patient,]
a.\ I am sure I lie child is going t<:
have a fit, and"?brightening up?
" I am liell on fits.' "
