t > Reflections of a Bachelor,
v It is better to have a wife than a breach
of promise suit.
A girl has an awful lot of sense to do
so well without any.
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."

DON'T FAIL
WEIGHED OVER FOUR HUNDRED.
Death in Raleigh of the Biggest Woman in
North Carolina.
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.
