J *L_ i In the year ]5S9 Madame Simon, a poor widow with a little son. was liv* - ? ? ~C r>oor mg in tne vnici^e ui 11^.11^, ...... Dieppe. Her whole wealth consisted of a little cabin anu a garden round about it. Her neighbors had broad K* meadows and great fields of grain; they often made fun of her and her garden produce. This latter consisted Iv- , chiefly of melons, melons large and fragrant indeed, but whose scanty sale could not bring the widow much money; and that season her neighbors . . boasted to her more proudly than ever. The Due de Mayenne's large army occupied the castle and citadel of Ar: , ques, very near the village and provisions were in great demand. ! France was divided at that time into two camps; the League, led by the Due de Mayenne and the party headed by Henry of Navarre, scon to become Henry IV. Mayenne had left Paris to check if possible the victorious march of Henry who held all Normandy. A meeting f between the two armies must come soon. However, this troubled Mayenne very little; he knew his numbers were greatly superior to Navarre's; and, gourmand that he was, he took good cheer at his leisure behind the strong walls of Arques. As he made himself comfortable there, the fame of Dame Simon's melons came to his ears; and one day a servant was sent out to order the widow to send the finest melon in her garden for M. le Due's breakfast the next morning. Accordingly, little Simon picked out that morning a magnificent, sweetsmelling melon, put it carefully in a basket and started to carry it to the castle. He had walked some distance, when, at the edge of the wood, he met three merry fellows, shabbily dressed, but wearing long swords that struck against their legs. "Halt!" they called cut. The boy stopped. "Well, my young man, where are you going?" demanded one of : them. Simon answered that he was carrying a melon to M. de Mavenne. i "Here's a windfall!" said the man. "The melon looks delicious; it will do me just as much good as it will M. le Due. Besides it will be so much taken from the enemy." The three men were soldiers of King Henry, who had suddenly pitched his camp near the castle in the hope of taking Mayenne by surprise. Navarre's men had had poor living for many a day; they were determined to carry off the melon, in spite of Simon's entreaties. The child begged them not to take away the melon; M. de Mayenne was sure to give him a great silver piece for it. "So much the worse for you," said the soldier. "All's fair in war; my enemy's goods belong to me?when I ?.v can get hold of them!" He was just going to snatch the bas* ket from the child's hands when a third person strode through the Crackling underbrush. The newcomer wore a shabby doublet over his coat-of-mail; a little scarlet mantle hung from his shoulders; a grey hat with a white plume in it covered his head. "Hello, you rascally thieves!" he H-l.; called out in a broad Gascon accent. "Let the boy alone, I say:" The frightened soldiers dared not move: they recognized their master. The king was going round about the camp thinking how Navarre and 10,000 men might contrive to.beat Mayenne with 25,000. v Suddenly an idea came to the leade? er's mind; he knew Mayenne's weakness for good eating. "My friends," he said to the soldiers, "this fruit is very tempting, but we must leave it lor M. le Due; you and I are far too poor to pay his prices! All the same he shall pay dear for this melon. You will go back to camp at once;" and the men saluted and withdrew, thankful ' to escape so easily. . The widow's boy began to thank the king for his kindness, but Henry interrupted him. "My little friend, 1 * - ? Ko yrro - n Ti-ith vnil T1 Weill L IU lliaivc Ch uai^uia n 4V^. j vv%. a< you will get to Arques an hour behinc time, you shall be my head gardenei when I have taken Paris!" And Simor promised to do the king's bidding. The table was laid in the great din ing-hall of the castle. Mayenne was at breakfast; but dainty and well serv> ed as the meal was, evidently it di< not please him. "Why doesn't that melon come?' asked M. le Due again and again Twenty times did he send to the kitch en to ask if the order had been giver to Dame Simon. His impatience in creasel; the lackeys trembled; the; \ (i tantamammKmmmKMHmamntmmtmanmtamrmtmsmammammmm feared their master's fit of anger; ana it was a great relief to everybody when it was announced that the little Simon stood outside the castle gate. M. le Due ordered the servants to bring Simon into the dining-room at once; he took the melon out of the basket himself, smelt it, then smiled; the odor pleased him. Then he cut into it, tasted it; joy spread over his great face. "Bravo!" he said. "This melon is ' T bnva r\oi'Or O'jthn Cllf'h PCX i^VUUll . 1 UCI ? C 11V > V i VU1V11 ? fine one." An officer hurried into the hall. "M. 3e Due," he said, "a strong detachment of the enemy's cavalry is advancing towards the castle." "Bah!" answered Mayenne. "Wait till they ceme nearer. This melon is delicious." He took another piece. A second officer hurried in. "M. le Due," he cried, "the enemy have surrounded the castle. The troops wait your order to advance." "In a minute, in a minute. Let me j finish this melon." But the cavalry advanced to the attack without Mavenne's order, to be routed by the horsemen of Navarre. A third officer entered the dining hall, besought Mayenne to put hira self at the head of his troops. "Yes. ves." he replied. "I'm coming now! There are only four slices left." The combat continued at the foot of the castle hill; the infantry were fighting hand to hand. Suddenly the army of Mavenne turned and sought safety in flight. Navarre's troops broke down the gate of the castle; Mayenne had dallied too long over his melon! He had lost the day, and only escaped falling into the victor's hands by hurrying through an underground passage leading into the open country. Navarre entered the dining hall; there was no one there but little Simon, waiting for his money; the melon was still unpaid for. Henry looked at the table and saw that the platter held only melon-rinds. "See. gentlemen," he laughed, turning to his officers, "M. le Due has not bad thp manners to leave us one single j slice of that fine melon." "Sire," put in little Simon, "I will give you just as good a one tomorrow, if you wish it. But, if you please, not at the same price! 1 have not seen even the color of M. le Mayenne's money." "That is all right, my little friend," returned the king. "I will play your n^.her for the melon. But as for dainty living, gentlemen, v:e will wait for that till Paris is our own!" A later day saw Henry IV. crowned King of FTance. Little Simon was remembered then; he had a position in the king's gardens, where he raised melons like his mother's at Trouville, and that particular kind was known in the Paris markets as "Mayenne's Melon."?Presbyterian Banner. BRAND OF THE TAILLESS PIG. The Montana Pioneer Recalls a Feat of Sharpshooting in Pioneer Days. "Looking over a brand register the other day reminded me of an event which occurred at I^ort Benton tn 1S6G," said the Montant pioneer to a group of friends. "The story serves to illustrate two things?first, the unerring accuracy of Al. B. Hamilton's aim, and again the expedients that are resorted tao in order to procure an original brand. "Hamilton was the first justice of the peace in Northern Montana. His commission was issued by Gen. Thos. Francis Meagher, the leader of the famous civil war Irish brigade, who was then acting as governor of the Territory of Montana. Hamilton had charge of the American Fur Company's post at Fort Benton, and the feat to which I shall refer may have had something to do with his election as sheriff of Chouteau county in later years. "I have heard of cattlemen using a frying-pan. railroad fish plates and other unusual shapes in metals as branding irons, but, after all, I think Hamilton's was perhaps the most original. ^i />V?

"With some little difficulty Hamilton got ali of the company's hogs in an enclosure, went to the office, secured his .44 revolver and a supply of cartridges and seated himself on the fence surrounding the pigs. Without getting closer than ten feet to a single one of the animals, Hamilton ; in the course of perhaps fifteen minutes had shot the tail from each. He did not waste more than half a dozen i shots in doing it, nor was a single hog ininrwl save that its tail had been ! | clipped off clean. That feat gave him I The title of champion shot of the Territory."?New York Sun. Do Nurses Gossip?

J When Uncoln was postmaster of j New Salem he used to tuck the letters inside his hat and deliver them whenever he happened to meet the persons to whom they were addressed. ! As this is a fair example or nis ousiness system, it may readily be imagi ined that the office of Stuart & j Lincoln was not a model establish| ment. where there was a place for ! everything and everything in its I place. And it was not. Indeed, as j a managing clerk the junior partner would have been a hopeless failure, and as an attorney, in the technical sense of the term, he would never have distinguished himself. He disliked everything connected with the drudgery of legal routine, hated drawing the jdeclarations of pleas, despised the artificialities and refinements which were even then beginning to creep into the pleadings, and disregarded forms whenever it was possible to do so. i There was nothing mechanical, precise or methodical about the man, and in all those housewifely virtues which characterized the careful, orderly solicitor he was utterly deficient. He never knew where his papers were, and apparently the only attempt he ever made to better the disorder was to write on one of his bundles of papers which littered his desk, "When you can't find It anyi where else, look in this." But that | was long after the firm of Stuart & Lincoln had dissolved, and then we find him explaining to a correspondent that he had placed his letter inside an old hat and had thus neglected answering it, which shows he had not wholly outgrown the habit of his postoffice days. Indeed, his hat continued to be his favorite receptacle for papers as long as he lived, and he never acquired any sense of order.?From Frederick Trevor Hill's "Lincoln the Lawyer" in The Century. The Loving Parent. j Up near Morningside park the other : morning early pedestrians were attracted by a man who stood on the sidewalk going through the contortions of a Japanese acrobat He waved his arms above his head, he bowed until his head almost touched the pavement, and then he started to dance. "That fellow is a lunatic," commented a young woman. "Guess he has got the jimjams," ventured a "white wing," who was sweeping the street. 'Escaped from Bellevue," said another wise one. A policeman arrived on the scene and touched the dancer on the shoulder. "What's the matter wid ye?" he demanded. "Got out of the bug ward, or are yer going there?" The man braced himself with a sudj den dignity. "I don't understand you," he said, j sternly.. "What are you talking about, I officer?" I "Why, what are you doing out here j acting like a monkey on the public street? Look at the people." "Hang the people! What do I care about them.

Thomas, former railroad | commissioner, was found dead in a . field on his farm near Edgefield. Ho had been absent from the house for some time, and a searching party found his body, which had been dead several hours. The cause of death j was heart disease, from which he suf- j fered for some time., No inquest was held. * * * Cold Wave Hurts Truckers. ^The truck farmers in the vicinity of Charleston have been hit severely by the cold wave. It is the most destructive spell of cold weather in five years, and the losses of the farmers run high into the thousands. Beans and cucumbers will have to be replanted. Potatoes, strawberries have also been hurt. Cabbages will be delayed two weeks. The farmers had anticipated a very successful season, and the blow is a hard one. * * * * To Replace Flood-Wrecked Mills. Pacolet mills Nos. 1 and 2, which were destroyed by the flood of June G, 1903, are being .replaced with one building, which is rapidly nearing completion. The new structure is 465 by 105 feet, situated on Pacolet river, 15 miles from Spartanburg and 1 3-4 of a mile from Pacolet station. The mill is four stories in height and all the machinery will be operated by water. The machine shops are located in the building. The new machinery consists of 1,000 Draper looms and 27,000 spindles. Its products will be standard sheetings and drillings. The management hopes to have this mill ready for operation by fall. This is the third Pacolet mill, and when it is completed it will make the second mill at Pacolet, the third being at New Holland, Ga. * * * Would-Be Lynchers Foiled. One night the past week a body of rrmed men rode into Bishopville, the county seat of Lee county, and made a desperate effort to lynch a negro named Jim Dcssaussure, who, some weeks agd, attempted to assassinate a man named Barnes, snooting mm through the lungs. In some way the sheriff got wind of the mob's intentions and prepared to resist it. When the mob neared the jail volleys were exchanged with che sheriff and his deputies. Seeing fve officers on guard, and that they were outwitted, the crowd dispersed without bloodshed. ' During the day the prisoner secured a rope and letting it down to the ground, a confederate placed an iron bar upon it. which was drawn in. A> the jailer entered his cell, the negro made a murderous assault upon him. but being a powerful man, the jailer overpowered his assailant, nearly beating the negro to death. The incident caused much excitement in the town and was the immediate cause of the attempted lynching. * * * Northerners Like Tillman. A Spartanburg merchant who has just returned from 'Xew York says that the people in South Carolina have no idea how strong a hold Senator Tillman has on northern senti ??> ororvhflHv'S ment. wis name is uu .. Hps in New York, business men, financiers and merchant princes as well as the ordinary citizens. He is looked on, says the Spartanburg merchant, as about the biggest man in the country, not even the president himself being regarded as more prominentlv identified with legislation than the South Carolina senator. The Spartanburg merchant added that while he has never voted for the senior senator he expects to do so in the next election, as he regards j that it would be nothing less than a public calamity for Senator Tillman to retire from public life and work just at this time. I Attorney General Gunter Dead. ^ TJ. X. Gunter, Jr., attorney general of South Carolina, died at his father's t home in Batesburg, after an illness extending over nearly o year. About ten months ago Mr. Gunter j was stricken with typhoid fever. He recovered his strength sufficiently to 1 leave his bed. but was soon stricken | with a complication, which confined j him to his bed until the end. Mr. Gunter entered public life in j 1S94, when he became private secretary to Governor John Gary Evans. Following this he became assistant attorney general, serving one term in this capacity. Following this he was twice elected attorney general of the suite, and was rounding out his second term at the time of his death. For years Mr. Gunter was secretsrv cf the democratic state executive committee. The funeral was held at Baiesburg. All of the state officers, except Governor Keyward, who is in Florida, attended in a body. * * * Probing Preacher's Character. There is much interest in Spartanburg in the investigation into the charges preferred against Rev. C. \V. Creighton, which is proceeding at Greenwood by a special committee appointed by the last conference, which was held in Spartanburg. At that time the character of Rev. Mr. Creighton was arrested on account of charges which he made in his paper, The Christian Appeal, against certain pre[ siding elders. It was expected that i during the conference the whole afI fair would be investigated, but this ! was net dene and a committee was appointed instead. Thos committee is ' now at work at Greenwood, the homeI of Rev. Mr. Creighton, being presided over by Rev. W. B. Duncan, presiding elder. There is considerable feeling among the prominent Methodists of the state, it is rajd, and a report has it that already a small fisticuff has occurred on account cf the inquiry. Both principals, it is said, are well known citizens cf Greenwood, who afterwards "made up." SEVEN HURLED TO DEATH. Express Train Crashes Into Wagon Containing Three Generations of a Family on Way to Reunion. Seven persons representing three generations of one family were killed Saturday on the Philadelphia' and Reading railroad at Hass Crossing, one miles south of Sunbury, Pa. The dead: G. H. Neidig, aged 63 years; Clarence Neidig, aged 41; Silas Neidig, aged 36, son of the first named; Mrs. Clarence Neidig, aged 30, and their three children, Mary, aged 4 years; Blanche, aged 6, and Gilbert, aged 2. All of the victims were instantly killed with the exception of Blancne, who died later at a hospital. There was to have been a family reunion at the home of G. H. Neidig, at Augustayille, a small village near by, and the latter had driven to the home of his sons to convey the party to Augustaville. At Hass Crossing the Pennsylvania railroad and the Philadelphia and Reading railroad run parallel a short distance apart. A curve renders one road invisible from the other and to this fact the accident was due. The wagon containing the seven persons had crossed the Pennsylvania tracks and had just reached the Reading tracks when an express train, northbound from vkamokin, ran into the vehicle. The occupants of the wagon were thrown or dragged mau, feet by the locomotive and their bodies were terribly mangled. TORE CLOTHES FROM CORPSES. Crowd Rushed in After Execution of Negroes to Secure Mementoes. Rufus Johnsen and George Small, negroes, were hanged in the jail yard at Mount Holly, N. J., Saturday, for murder of Mies Florence Allinson. Owing to the fact that there was no guard in the jail yard the crowd rushed in after the execution and began cutting off buttons and portions of the clothing worn by the murderers. The crowd pulled and hauled at the bodies and in the crush the clothing was partially removed, exposing the corpses to view. Some one finally informed the sheriff and the vandalf were driven away. LIGHTNING KILLS PREACHER. Bolt Struck Rev. .Lentz While He V/as Delivering Sermon. At parson. Iowa, while preaching to his congregation Sunday, Rev. J. B. Lentz, pastor of a Latter Day Saints church, was struck by lightning, which caused his death within an hour. The bolt was communicated by a chandelier. The church took fire, but the flames were soon extinguished. CORONER'S JURY DISAGREED. Owing to a Tie Shaw is Exonerated of Wife Murder Charge. H. B. Shaw, who was held for the murder of his wife, was released at Brunswick, Ga., Friday, the vote of the coroner's jury being a tie. Half the jury thought Shaw guilty of his wife's 1.1 it. ~ murder, while tne oiners mougm uic physicians were correct in their report that the woman's death was caused by alcoholism. RATE BILL TALK. . m f Senator Tillman Watching for Chance to Have Specified Day Fixed for Vote or. Measure. A Washington dispatch says: Therev.as a hint in the senate Monday at 4 an effort to fix .a time for a final vote on the railroad rate bill, but it wassurrounded by so much circumstance and doubt that no predictions as to? u1c cijjjc v/uumi uc ju3u11cu. Mr. Tillman stated that he would, bring the matter up in the senate, and. unless objection was made he may ask to have a day speciiied. The suggestion as to time rose in. connection with the more or less serious effort cn the part of a number of senators to secure immediate con- .' sideration of amendments offered by themselves. Mr. Tillman resisted ail attempts of that kind in the absence of many senators, saying that votes ought not to be taken without full notice to senators. Among the provisions offered were: ' By Mr. Foraker, prohibiting the issuance of passes: Mr. Scott, compel* ing railroads to connect with other railroads, and Mr. Culberson, denying to interstate roads the privilege of making campaign contributions. Mr. Overman made a general speech in support of the bill, and Mt. Teller spoke at seme length against unduehaste in considering the question. ?J At the beginning of the session Mr Tillman presented a letter from Millard F. Snyder of Clarksburg, W. Va? relating to the discriminations of railroads in that state against iiide- ( pendent coal operators by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Mt. Tillman -/ said that the senator from West Vir- . '><>$ ginia had expressed the hope that h& would give the senate sometmng on , j this line every morning, and he would ' ."J endeavor to gratify him in this re- :\M f spect. The letter began by stating that the people of West Virginia had begm to look upon Mr. Tillman as their ''v^ig senator. It stated Mr. Snyder had" ' _ made many efforts to secure relief . from discriminations, but was unableto obtain any redress. The different kinds of discriminations were detail- I ed at length, and the assertion made 'Ji that the laws of West Virginia were /Jg| not sufficient to meet the case. Mr. Foraker presented his amendment, prohibiting the issuance by the- . railroad companies of passes, and ex tending the prohibition to passes fojr - -jM the cars of the officials of one railroad over other lines, and he asked ;|y|jj Mr. Tillman if he would not accept it. . Mr. Tillman replied that if he had the committee with him he would ac- . V cept the. amendment, but he thought ' , that it would be better to pass an orig- .c inal bill "which we could send on itsway rejoicing to the house so to avoid the melee in which the rate .. . bill is sure to be involved. Mr. Tillman suggested that the Jf ^ yv 1 -BH amendment go over. Mr. Foraker con-' y|g sented, but added that it was his in- 'Js tention to press it. Mr. Tillman expressed his disapproval of the present ' v|S method of voting on the Dill, ana an amendments at the same time, and 77 said that when a time was fixed fcr _ voting on the railroad bill he would ask that the vote begin on amendments two or three days in advance in order to permit time for explana- ~-"fz tion. Mr. Tillman said that he would ask -j \-J the senate to fix a time to vote, and that when that decree was issued he . * would prepare an order of proceeding for submission to the senate. .. GREAT MERGER PLANNED. - . ' Railway Interests in Virginia and North Carolina to Consolidate. The entire properties of the Norfolk and 'Southern railroad, running ' from Norfolk, Va., through eastern * ' < North Carolina, and the Virginia-Carolina Coast railway, which recently began the construction of a new rail-7 way line from Norfolk to Beaufort, 4 N.
