Bell's court in order to disclose evidence that her husband, Dr. Lovik - P. Langston. had beaten her, Judge L Bell demurred. Attorney Claude Smith, counsel for the husband, had denied, in behalf of iis client, that Dr. Langston had mistreated his wife. W. S.

Mrs. Langston was on the stand. * "Would you object to showing the 1 court the bruise oil your knee?" asked the attorney for the witness. She colored profusely.

HUNTER, and Insurance Broker. O.igres For Stenographers. Richmond Journal. Boston business men seem to have a bad reputation in the matter of stenographers, if we judge by a discussion now in progress in some of the newspapers. One woman wrote to a Boston contemporary of conditions j which she described as so bad that she . | proposed seriously that all women and j girl stenographers be enclosed in iron I cages during their hours of duty to protect them from the attentions of their employers. Thereupon another woman, evidently a very irate feminist, wrote suggesting that the men at the dictation end of the combination should be locked in the cages. All of which recalls an East Indian folk lore story which runs about like this: Once a man was walking on a road balancing on his head a very heavy I irnn nnt With 'nic ricrh.t hanr?" ho "hplH a stick and led a goat and in his left hand he carried a pair of live hens. A woman was passing rapidly and the man called to her and besought her to walk slowly and go with him for company. The woman answered that she feared that if she walked with ; him he might overpower her and kiss j her against her will. "How can I overcome and kiss i you?" inqaire'd the man, "seeing that j I have on my head an iron pot, with! ! my right hand am holding a stick and i leading a goat and with my left hand am carrying these two live hens?" "You could drive the stick into the ground and tie the goat to it, turn ! tne pot upsiae aown ana put uie nens i | under it and thus be free to overcome ; ! me and iss m-e against my will," the j ! woman replied. "Success to thy ingenuity, O wo-1 man," said the rejoicing man to himself. So he drove the stick in the ground, I tied the goat to it, turned the pot up- > side down, put the hens under it and most wickedly kissed her against her will, just as she was afraid he might do. Of course, she was not a stenographer, for there were none in those days. But, however it may be in Bos ton, in this part of the country the female stenographer usually provides her own protective cage with her own dignity and common sense; and no other is needed. Land Drains in Opposite Directions. The divide between the Hudson Bay and Mississippi river drainage basins shows the poor drainage of the glaciated prairies and the delicate balance and the James into the Gulf of Mexico, between drainage system.

Wcmen, as a rule, are easy to read? i first, because they are so easily classi' Med in respect to age and appearance, and secondly owing to their inability to keep silent. When you are "fishing" lor the event in their lives on which they seek information, if you so much as hint on a line of thought ; - - - - -v , that teils ot tne eveni. mey are uuumi to burst icrth with a hurried, "Yes, yes! Go on!" The reader would, no doubt, like to i have the answers to two questions which are most important predictions, and they are: "How can you tell whether a person is married or not?" "How can you tell how many children they have?" I will answer the question in turn, and in the beginning I must state that "patients" unknowingly tell the palmist the answers to the questions above ?not directly, but through a system all our own we get the answers. This system is almost perfect, and built up from . .ading and meeting thousands of persons yearly. Take, for example, the first question. How can you tell whether a person is married? To begin with, it depends upon your "patient's" age, which you can guess from observation and from the skin of the back of the hand. The condition of the nail filament will help also, if you are deceived by a well-preserved man or woman. Here is an illustration. Your "patient" is a woman about 35 years old, very well dressed, nails well manicured, and altogether a fascinating "patient." She is wearing no rings. , This, in itself, arouses suspicion, for j you know there is not one woman out ; of a hundred who does not wear a ring | of seme kind. This makes you think j jthat she may have removed her wedding ring before she entered the room! 7 he ring, however, will probably leave I a mark, which you can easily find on i her third finger. If the finger is thin and gives nothing for guidance, I say to her "There is sickness marked on i ' j this line for the oldest child in the j family." Her manner will soon indii cate whether she is married or not. There are a few "patients" who are ' r\-r Vxjtto hopn marripri nnri havp n.T I children. These are in the minority, : and they will either tell you they have j no children, or will ask you if you mean the "oldest child in their mothj er's family." The result is the same. "If the "patient" has a child, how j quickly she will tell you its age, taking j all the pride of a good mother in an : swering promptly! The fortune-teller now has a store !of information to work on, for the answer to this question is the very keystone of the arch. With it I build up to parents' life-story from tire age of their oldest child. For example, the age of the oldest child is given as i 114; from this age you can safely pre. j diet there is more than one child in this family. This you can verify by remarking upon the brightness of their youngest child, who, as the mother gladly tells, is 10 years old. Now, how many children have they? Why, three, of course! You find out which month the "pa tient" was born in- by saying, in a decided tone of voice: "You were born in February." The "patient," if not born in this month, will reply: "No, I was born in May." "I beg your pardon; you resemble a February type." The "patient" has again given much, more material to work with, as a study of the "signs of the zodiac" tells me here that a person born in May ie inclined to certain tendencies in character, illness and career. You can tell a man's business, trade or profession by seeing the man first | and his hand afterwards. You can always tell a postman from one shoulder being much lower than the other, through carrying his heavy mail bag. The doctor and lawyer are "easy marks" for the fortune teller, for they "carry" their profession all over them in many signs; the barber is easy also, for who has a cleaner and softer hand than 'he? The tailor is "tabbed" from the marks on his hands, the result of long use of scissors. It Worked. The conductor was about to give the motorman the high sign. "Wait!" cried a shriffff feminine I i voice; "wait till I get my clothes on!" Everyone in the car was suddenly afflicted with the rubber habit. What they saw was an obese woman trying to lift a basket of laundry to the rear platform. Then the car rolled on. !CHARLESTON JURY FINDS TRUE BILLS' i ! ALLEGED VIOLATORS OK WHISKEY LA\\ TO HE TRIED.

I | i Charleston, Sept. 30.?Following a; I I j strong charge b;. -Judge Mendel L. | j Smith, the Charleston grand jury to-j | day returned 22 true bills against al-j : leged violators of the dispensary law.! e, j The grand jury which returned 22; j true bills in the liquor cases today is | | composed of the same personnel tha:, j returned 32 no-bills and one true bill! : in a similar class of indictments in i I [June, 191.). The only true bill re-j j turned at that time was indictment of i i a negro and the solicitor nol prossetl j ! the case. In 1913 a ^grand jury, it is j j recalled, returned some oOO no-bills, | j charging violaiion of the dispensary | law. Those indicted in the true bills i returned today are: Nick Peters, AY. : C. Strauss, C. F. Fogarty, James Ma-1 I nos. George A. Panuchopoulo, Peter | Demos, Carl Dannhauer, A. R. Beck, X. Brown and George Anthony, S. P. i Schiadaressi, H. R.

A no-bill was returned in the i case of John Bush. .Judge Smith, handing the grand jury the score or more indictments charg(ing violations of the dispensary law. charged the jury forcefully, eloquently and at length relative to the law covering these indictments and in re\ gard to their duty in considering them, j "Take these bills," he said in clos ! ing. "Give them your careful consid\ i eration. Tf it leads to the finding of no-bills, let it be from a sense of duty I well performed. If it leads to the ; finding of true bills, have the courage | and the manhood to say so." Law on the Subject, i He read extracts from sections of | the criminal code relative to the indictments and repeated what the sui preme court has declared to be the law in such cases. "These enactments have received the sanction of the sovereign people of South Carolina," he said. "And they are operative on every inch of territory and in respect to every person. "If the testimony satisfies you that a probable case has been made out. it , is your sworn and solemn duty to find ; a true bill. The testimony of one who | has inspected a revenue license is suf I ficient for your purpose." j It is pitiable that the inactivity of the grand jury, at times when courage j and manhood would find exceptional j opportunities for a great and lasting j service, has been such as to suggest to i some the abolishment of that body, de| clared Judge Smith. But it must be | remembered, he continued, that the j law respecting grand juror has a farI reaching influence which is shown by , his right to enter every public office , from that of the clerk of court to the l j most insignificant; the right to review I the administration of public affairs, | the right to criticise; the right to apj prove or to condemn and the right to exercise an irresistible influence for the good of the State and the people. The grand jury is the monitor and sentinel to demand a wise administration of public affairs. And even great-^ er is- the power of the grand jury in its right to act cn bills of indictment. By this phase of its power, it becomes the guardian of liberty, of homes of the ctrnn rr n'rtOL- <1.1 rim oLi uiij, airu ?? cua ctuxv^. "If there are 110 indictments, there can be no trial," said Judge Smith. 'If there are no trials, there can be no punishment, and if there is no pun-^ ishment there will be no fear of it. With the fear of punishment removed, there is no restraining influence upon and no protection from the lawless element. "This power should be a guarantee of faithful service. What guarantee has the State that the grand juror will discharge sis duty faithfully? His compensation is totally inadequate and and appeal is therefore made to his patriotism. Confidence is bestowed in his integrity and honor." The judge then cited the require- . ments of one selected to serve on the ; grand jury, emphasizing the good ; moral character of the man and his ( oath. He repeated the oath in part, i referring to the duty of diligently in- : quiring, making a true presentment ] and other phases of the oath. ! The grand juror who acts on a bill ! through fear or favor is a pitiable ! weakling, declared Judge Smith. He 1 who acts through hope of reward is 1 immeasurably corrupt, and he wrho 1 acts through malice is a villainous coward, he continued. He who acts "through sympathy for crime or because of opposition to law, adopts a ?. i. J ~?

PEEPLES IS HONORED Chosen iVce President by Association of Attorneys General. The State. Thomas H. Peeples, attorney general of South -Carolina, was elected .ice president of the Association of Attorneys General of the United States at its meeting in San Francisco, the last of which was held Wednesday, September 22. Mr. Peeples returned to Columbia (Wednesday night, having left for the West September 9. He was the only Southern man elected to office. Mr. Peeples, the youngest attorney general attending the well attended convention, said yesterday that a number of interesting problems were discussed, most interesting of which was the paper by Attorney General Webb of California on "The Alien Law." The subject is of vital importance to the people of the West especially, due to legislation which has been passed re garding the admission and rights of Japanese and Mongolians to become land owners in California. All of the papers, he said, were interesting, instructive and beneficial. Mr. Peeples received assurances from many people in the West, Democrats and Republicans, of their, approval of President Wilson's foreign policy.

Correspondence of the Associated Press from Christiana, .\orway, aatea September 3. says something very close to a panic is spreading over both Norway and Sweden, as a result of the alarming scarcity ol' provisions and the unprecedented prices which are demanded for tne simplest kind of food. Norway is now on the point of following Sweden's lead in prohibiting the ovnfirt nf all nrfineiAnc nf whi/^Vl tliATVX mere marked. Herring, which is one prices may be brought down within rc-ach of tlie poorer classes. The advance in prices in Norway is approximately the same as ,in Sweden, but in some cases it has been moore marked. Herring, which is one of the main articles of diet among the peasant population, have risen from 2 cents to 4 1-2 and 5 cents apiece, and the present price of oatmeal is 250 per - - ? 1 T? * ~ /< l\/N P/N +V A TTT ceni uigiier uxaii u ?as uciuic **ai. The meat shortage was temporarily relieved some time ago, as it was in Sweden, by the slaughter of a. large number of cattle, which there was not enough grain to feed, but prices have now advanced again, reaching the highest level ever known in Norway. It is a curious paradox, however, that as a nation, Norway's economic and financial condition is better than before the war. Norway's tremendous exports, at the same time that they have drained the country of its necessary provisions for home consumption and carried masses of the people to the verge of starvation, have brought a tremendous amount of money into the country, enabled the country to pay for all its imports, and left a large surplus to be used for industrial purposes and public loans. The Bank of Norway?the governments' bank?had a year ago twentymillion dollars of gold in its vaults. Today it has forty million. A year ago it had issued paper money to the extent of five and a half million beyond its deposits, while today with the same amount of paper currency in circulation, it has a reserve of three million dollars. Deposits in private banks are at present thirty million dollars greater than a year ago on the same date. These banks had to their credit in foreign banks $700,000 last year. This year they have $10,000,000. The war has thus brought Norway a flood tide of prosperity, and if government action is taken to reduce present prices and provide the poorer people with food, Norway will have little to losfc and a. great deal to gain from a long war. ! Norway's friendship for England and the fact that she 'has had less to complain of in the restriction of imports than Sweden, have made her trade question a much less serious one than in her sister country. Her chief grievance against England remains the English censorship of her mail and cablegrams to America and other neutral countries, Norway is still trying to devise a more direct and speedier communication with America. APPLES FOR FIGHTING MEN Growers and Dealers Want to (xi?0 100,000 Barrels to Warring Nations. . . New York Sun. Each soldier in the trenches and hospitals of Europe is to get an apple, and, according to the proposal of a committee of the apple trade, a vessel will carry a big cargo of the greatest American fruit across the seas for distribution under the auspices of the Red Cross. Apple growers and deaiers wno have earned that many of the fighting men. ire suffering because of the lack of Tuit juices, will make- efforts to get President Wilson and Secretary of state Lansing to induce the warring lations to grant safe passage to tire ipple consignment. ;Tfhe apple men ilso hape to get the belligerent nations :o agree on an armistice for one day luring which the apples shall be distributed; no truce has been arranged ;o far, however. This is the way a local dealer in ippies made toe recKomng. "We understand that there are about 15,000,000 men actively engaged! in the various armies and navies in the war, md probably as many more indirectly nvolved. To give them all an Ameri an apple would mean at least 50,000, 00 apples, and counting 500 apples to he barrel, we shall have to provide 00,000 barrels.
