* THE BLEASE BANQUET. * * * * Abheville Press and Banner. * * ** ** * * * * * * * * * Notable among the recent functions was the Blease banquet. The banquet was held in South Carolina, no one was invited to the feast except news paper men. The toast master of the occasion was the Newberry Herald and News. The table was ladened with all the po litical delieacies common to such an occasion. The Newberry Herald and News occupied the head of the table and dispensed meats. At the opposite end of the table the venerable Laur ensville Herald took up position near the "silly bub" tank and' coffee pot. When the guests had gathered for the feast of the Newberry Herald and News up-spoke enquiring of the hon ored guest, the News and Courier, what he would have? Whereat the News and Courier spoke for a generous slice of well done crow! "And what will the'Daily Mail take ?" asked the toast-master. "Give me a small slice," said the Mail. "Of what," asked the toast-master. "Oh, make it crow," answered the Mail. "What will the next brother, the Laurensville Herald take?" came from the head of the table. "Turkey for mine with oyster dressing, cut out all "consommes" and light truck, add a stoup of "silly-bub" with a ten penny in it, and a cup of black coffee." "Greenville News, what will you have?" "Just plain crow please, not too much; my appetite is rather "frac tious." My medico tells me that dark meat is most agreeable to my health just now. "What shall I serve to the Charles-) ton Post," asked the host and toast master. "Shall I make it turkey?" "Please to slice me a piece of breast of crow," was the reply, "turkey is too rich for my blood just now, I need something sedative and cooling for my 'constitution, I've been rather feverish for a spell." The good old Spartanburg Journal and Herald with dignity unfolding their napkins spoke out simultaneous ly for crow! "Give us crow," they said, "since it is all the go we want crow! make it plain crow with no knick knacks, we do not often indulge, but since the company calls for crow our appetites lean that way too." The toastmaster and host began to 'look serious. "What will our good old friend, the Record, take," he next asked.- The Record smiled and said, "I'll take a teenchy weenty piece of crow with a little turkey gravy please," and some one said that the Record actually smacked his lips, which was of course indecorous, The State sat next. "To what shall I serve you?" asked the host. "Oh, quit ybur kiddin," said the State, "you know what I want, give it to me straight, too, no ferbelows nor floun. ces." "What part of the fowl w&uld you like?" asked the host. "I'll take the gizzard and the parson's nose, please." And the host hesitated. "What is the parson's nose," he enquired. It was explained to the host that it was .that part of the fowl which got over the fence last, and the State was properly served. Tlle host arose with a serious gra vity and remarked that the supply of crow was about exhausted, and asked if none would take turkey, but all the board began to be clamorous for crow. * "Is it possible," asked the host, "that all this big juicy turkey is to be left to me? Are there no others to divide with? This is a most unusual gathering of banqueters that so few will eat tur key and so many are clamorous for crow." And so they banqueted. Presently the host proposed the toast, "Who kill ed Featherstone." I, said the State, With my copper plate, - ~. I killed Featherstone. Who saw him die? I, said Charleston, With my "six to one," I saw him die. Who caught his blood? I, said the "Post," I make that boast, I caught his blood. Who dug his grave? I, said the "Mail," It was my tale, I dug his grave. Who acted as clerk? - * I, said the News, In airing my views. I acted as clerk. Who carried the torch? I, said the Herald, In my editorial, I carried the torch. Who carried him to his grave? I, said the Journal, In my advice diurnal. I carried him to his grave. Who sang the psalm? - I, said the Enquirer, To the tune of "0 Sapphira," Why Wor Or N When the same effort pul tion will make you indep others when you can find ployment, and own a farr tions of the State?

She belonged to many culture clubs, Both ethical and physical; In analyzing Browning's stuff Her point of view was quizzical; In discussing moral topics She was always most impressive; In reforming and 'uplifting She was all to the progressive. Her set was most exclusive In the very best society. And her mental convolutions Were of infinite variety; She was strong ro woman's suffrage As a means of civic purity, And her labors were unceasing For the good of all futurity. But despite of all her ethics And despite her proud position, Mr. Loeb and his inspectors Put her through an inquisition; And they took her up for smuggling Shameful! Horrid!
