Too much soft soap makes the fellow you want to catch so slippery you can't hold him. If women had to shave they would have a very different idea from what they have of what a mirror is for. When a woman trusts her husband it is a sign she wouldn't if she knew as much abouj; him as other people do. The Unflattered Barber. John Drew, as he lunched, talked about barbers, says the New York Tribune. "They are so complimentary," he said. "They tell you such unflattering things. "A friend of mine went to be shaved at the Dark Harbor Hotel one day last summer, and the barber said to him: " 'Your hair is getting thin, sir.'" 'I " 'Yes,' my friend answered, tartly, 'I have been treating it with anti-fat. I ^ never did like stout hair.' " Well Deliberated. . At a bend in the river opposite a likely pool a portly gentleman in new fishing "togs" stopped a native, says Life, in order to get some necessary information aDOUl me suiruuuuiug wuunj. "Do you suppose," asked the man with rod and reel. "It would be worth my 1 while to try fishing around here?" "Wal," said the native, thrusting his hands in his pockets and settling back on his heels, "the fishin' ain't good, but of course I don't know how you value your time." ens & bu 2 E | s-a IS & no So S? 3 ??? 1 00 30 = CO | # bio bfl *r 2 ^ fe/i s- b/5 ?

Raleigh, Dec. 21.?The biggest woman in the State of North Carolina has just been buried in Raleigh under unusual circumstances. Her name was Henrietta Dunn, a negro cook, and at the time of her death she weighed over four hundred pounds, although she was only five feet and three inches in height. No coffin large enough to receive the body could be obtained and the undertaker had to prepare a big oak box, which he dressed up in the trappings of a coffin. The box could not be placed in any hearse here, so it was conveyed to the Mount Hope, colored cemetery, in a twohorse wagon. The woman's immense size and weight was not due to disease and she was not swollen. She had for years weighed over four hundred and had received several offers from show people who wanted to exhibit her, all of which she indignantly declined. Abont the Limit. "Do you keep postage stamps?" "Yes'msaid tbe polite druggist. "How many?" "Five, please." Tbe transaction was concluded but the woman lingered. "Is there anything else, ma'am?" inquired the vender of medicines. "My trading stamps. Don't you advertise trading stamps with every purchase?" And the druggist was so rattled that he passed over a couple. Richard Le Gallienne went to a publication office to get a check which was due him for an article, "but I shall have to disappoint you to-day. The checks are made out, but they are without the signature of our manager. He is ill with tbe gout." "Extend him my sympathies," murmured Mr. Le Gallienne. "It must be very trying for him to be so disabled. I infer that he signs his checks with his feet." i "Don't take it so hard Mr. Playnman, said the young woman, mockingly. "There are other girls, you know. There's Lil Gumplins, Sallie Plimbom, Kate Isnoggles, and Fan Billiwink. Any one of them would make a better wife for you than I would." "I know it," he said, swallowing a lump in his throat and turning to go. "If any one of those four girls had 6aid yes. do you suppose I would ever have thought of coming here for a wife?" AN ACCIDENTAL KILLING. White Youth Kills Negro Boy While Hunting. Spartanburg, Dec. 22.?While out hunting near Reidville Thursday afternoon Rosco Cox, a white boy, aged about 12 years, accidentally shot and killed a negro boy named Fred Drummond, who was about 14 years of age. The boys had a shotgun and were looking for birds, when a covey was discovered. The white boy was in the act of firing into the birds on the ground, when the colored boy, who was some distance ahead of him, suddenly slipped and fell on the ground and in direct range of the gun. The entire discharge took effect in the lad's head, killing him instantly. The coroner went to Reidville to conduct the inquest; but after the examination the proof and evidence seemed conclusive that the tragedy was purely accidental. The inquest was not held. Rosco Cox is the son of a farmer, James Cox, who lives in the Reidville section. The boy is very much wrought up and affected by the tragic event. MR. MARSHALL RETIRES.
