A LESSON. Once, dear, for all that life could give I asked, nor guessed what love might mean Each night I prayed?hot tears between? That thou wouldst live Thy life alone for me. Now am I wiser: dear, I know What joy to love can service bring. Of life I ask but this one thing? That I may show All I would be to thee. ?Elizabeth Payne, in Harper's Bazar. \ CFACnWPP RFSIITY I?! I n wknwwiikw wi>nw j Mr. Archibald Quibble used some very picturesque language. Forgetting for the moment that his gout was unusually painful that morning, he jumped from his chair, threw the letter indignantly on the table, and Indulged in another verbal explosion as the movement forcibly reminded him of his infirmity. "My dear, what is it?" anxiously r inquired his wife. She was a beautiful woman, still young, and a leader of fashion. And, oc hor VnichfinH Ittipw tbp Iflflv WIS strong minded and practical. He passed the letter across the table. ' "There," he said, "see what that? that?derned?young?idiot has been doing." Mrs. Quibble read aloud: "My Dear Father?I know that the announcement I have to make will pain you at first; but you will come < to see at last that I am not to blame, i My engagement with Alice Travers ; must be ended, and I mean to write ; to her to-morrow and explain matters ; as gently as I can.

"Why did his grandfather take it into his head to leave the boy fifteen hundred a year. I'll " ] "Archibald, you'll go to the me- j tropolis at once," said Mrs. Quibble. < "I 6hall go, too. He must be seen ] before he writes to Alice. This comes i c-r of leaving him to his own devices ] for an entire month in a wicked city." < Mr. Quibblet never disputed with 1 his wife. Two hours later they were ( on the way to the metropolis. i Percy Quibble went that evening j to the house on West Eighteenth < street, where the divine Fanny Fair- , lie lived. He was twenty-one, but he ? looked seventeen, and his brains < might have fitted a lad of twelve j # years. , "By Jove!" he exclaimed, "do you , /know, Fanny, the governor and the j mater have come to town. They j drove up to the hotel jusjt as I was { leaving, and I dodged 'em' It's funny j * v how mad he'll be. The 'gov.' isn't so ( bad, but the mater can be just terri- . . hie." t i -Phitny looked troubled. j "But, Percy, darling, you'll be faithfurto me? You know you have promised to marry me?and a whole lot of the girls know it." I think Fanny would have cried were it not that she dreaded the re. suit. Hers was a complexion that could be seamed. 'Vanny, dearest, I love you better than life," exclaimed the youth. "Trust me till death, darling." And there were kisses and embraces. "Say, Percy, my own love," remarked Fanny, after an interval, 'could you lend me some money? A lot of things have to be bought for the happy day, you know." Percy at once tossed her five twenty-dollar bills. lie had no more. *annv had to leave for the theatre , shortly afterwards, and the young man escorted her to the door and took his usual place in the parquet. , As Percy failed to return to his hotel, Mr. Quibble decided to go to the Globe Theatre and see the object of his son's affections. Percy had been sitting in the front row of the ' . parquet ior a tew minutes oniy, wneu i liis father took a seat beside him. "You infernal young fool!" the olu i man muttered into his son's ear. But the seats were nearly all occupied, and further remonstrance was -out of the question. Just then the curtain rose, and the first scene of the wonderful ballet, "Mazeppa," filled the stage. Percy almost forgot the presence of his father, for was not Fanny there, looking quite ethereal in the pale limelight, as she sat on a rock, waiting for the return of her soldier lover? "That's she?that's she!" he hoarsely whispered. His eyes saw nothing else; his thoughts were centered on that vision of pathetic loveliness. "On! that's the girl?is it?" said his father. He regarded the languishing maiden earnestly for a few moments. Then he laughed?laughed so heartily that his neighbors wondered, and his son was amazed. "Beautiful girl, Percy, my boy! Does credit to your judgment. Must see her when it's over." Percy could hardly credit his ears. This, indeed, was the very acme of happiness. The old man and his son waited on Miss Fanny Fairlie after the ballet was over. "Fanny, darling," cried the lover, "this is my father, who is almost in love with you himself, don't you know. It's funny, isn't it?" "I think I have met Miss Fairlie before," said Mr. Quibble, coolly, arranging his eyeglass and looking the lady full fn the face. "She was Lucy Lightfoot then." "I am quite sure you did," she replied, returning the stare as coolly. Poor Percy was puzzled. "Let me see?it was at the Daisy Music Hall twenty-five years ago, wasn't it?" "You've an excellent memory, Archie," replied Miss Fairlie. "Perhaps you remember other things, too?" "Rather, Fanny," replied Mr. Quibble, chuckling. "You're almost as fresh as ever, and as cunning, too, I see." "How much will you pay to get out of this mess?" asked Fanny. "Five hundred?cash down. Take it, Lucy, and don't bother any more." "Fork over, old man." Poor Percy's little brain was in a whirl. He had no power to interfere. The crisp greenbacks were passed over, and Fanny said: "Ta-ta; but do you know that my real lover is little Jerry Traddles? old Tom's son? He was only a child j when you and I were chums, Archie. I He's in Cleveland now. We shall j have a roaring old time when he gets I back." Then she skipped off. "You're a nice fellow, you are!" exclaimed Mr. Quibble, as he buttoned his overcoat. "Come along. I'll leave you to your mother now, and what a laugh she will have at you for your insane infatuation for that seasoned beauty. Why, she was a heart crusher twenty-five years ago." "But don't you think it would be well if you made little of the affair, sir, in her presence, and helped me to get off lightly?" said Percy. He had realized the situation by this time. "Why should I, you scoundrel?" "Don't you remember that you were one of her admirers, my dear Tit: old gentleman was silent tor ^ tfme. "By George!" he exclaimed, after a minute's thought, "you're not such i fool, after all!"?New York Weekly, i The Colored Supplement Horror. A writer, quoted in American Motherhood, says of the colored supplement which accompanies so many ^ULiuat> jjapci o. it y> v/uiu uw wov j iad if these wretched perversions of so innocent and helpful a relish to life as the comic only reached persons of mature life. Even readers I >vhose time is so valueless that they ;an afford to waste more than a glance at a Sunday supplement must -ealize how worthless pictures of this ;ort really are. . It is the children *'ho suffer, for they absorb unconsciously the unsavory quality of such efforts to amuse, and are thus the nvoluntary victims of voluntary and esponsible corruptionists. At a time ivhen this country is seriously trying :o implant a knowledge of and stimuate a t?.:tc for beif~r things, artistic and aesthetic, through exhibitions n museums, libraries, and even Sunlay-schools, it is not a little aisheart- | ining to realize that every step in i ;his direction gets a weekly setback :hrough these colored atrocities. * 11 * There are certain negative results at least that parents have a 'ight to expect from every educative force that ic brought to bear on their ihildren; that these children shall lot be deliberately taught disrespect for old age, or for physical infirmi- j :ies and deformities; tnat they shall j aot learn to cherish contempt for ( ither races or religions than their iwn; that they shall not take satis- j faction in the tormenting of animals ir weaklings. * * * A morbid gloating over the deficiencies and humiliations of our neighbors is pretty 3ure to develop vulgarity and a lax moral fibre in ourselves." Another writer, speaking through como mapfldnp savR nf the oharm these colored pages have for children: "The thought came to me that the charm * * * lay in the continued action of the pictures. * * * The child is interested in what things do, rather than in what things are. Children's books and periodicals show that action in pictures is becoming more and more popular. In the latest pictures the characters are all doing something; * * * movement appeals to the child; his first stories are pictures, and for a long time after they cease to be the only ones he reads, they remain his favorites. The best story in words will usually make the best story in pictures if it covers only a short period in time, and is not wanting in movement. The standard of purity, in morality and in style of these picture stories should be as high as that of the word story."?Stella C. Dysart A Strong Face. "Facial expression," said the thoughtful looking man, "is not confined to human beings, by any means. "For instance, some time ago J went to call on a friend of mine, who was not at home. However, a dog oi his was there. I looked at the dog a moment and he returned my look Then something in that dog's face seemed to take hold of me and simply root me to the spot.

A peculiar incident in connection with Mr. Baker's death was that at the moment he expired in Atlanta his store was burned in the village ot Batesville, which is n ,-ar Greenville. * * Goodwin Released on Bond. B. W.

The proposed new county of Heyward was defeated by 38 votes of the requisite two-thirds of the total number of votes cast.

The boy picked up the gun and aiming it at his sister and negro child, pulled the trigger. Hattie Lou was instantly killed, the colored girl was mortally wounded and Heintish was perhaps seriously injured by the recoil of the gun. * $ U Constable Kills Negro Woman. Constable J. Y. Floyd shot and killed Malinda Williams, a negro woman, at her home, ten miles west of Newberry. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of accidental homicide. Floyd went to the woman's house to collect an installment due on a Bible which she had purchased. The \i-nmnn refused to Dav the amount. it was claimed, and put the book in the constable's buggy. Words passed between them, resulting in Floyd striking her with his whip. The woman resisted the attack and broke the whip. The constable then drew his pistol, it is stated, and was beating her over the head when it was discharged, the ball entering the head at the base of the brain. The woman's husband "was present at the time, and the above account is said to be practically his testimony. Bail was at once granted the constable in the sum of ?500. r * ** Cashed Forged Express Orders.

Before the state supreme court a* Columbia, the past week, an attorney representing the Salvation Army, ar gueri an appeal Irons the decision 01 Judge Klugh, who, several months ago. refused io order an unknown white child to be turned over to the Salvation Arni>. The child is now in the custody oi a negrc woman. Emma Robertson, In Columbia, and was found by the .Salvation Army, which proposed to lake it front the negro and put it in more suitable surroundings. The woman and a physician, who has the child in charge, refused to give it up. and Judge Klugh sustained their claims to it. The Salvation Army is continuing the fight to get possession of the' % iwwunijp? ac??a??????n j baby, which goes by the name 01 Richard Allen, and is evidently the ' child of wealthy parents, as it lias ! costly clothes and everything that might be wanted. * s. * Rev. Creighton Expelled. Rev. C. W. Creighton has been dismissed from the South Carolina conference and expelled from the Methodist ministry. The trial lasted sixtythree hours, prolonging the session of the conference two days. I-Ie has appealed to the general conference. He is editor 01 the Christian Appeal at Greenvi..6 ..6 ..6 ..6 at Greenwood, and has made repeated charges of politics and ring rule in the conference, also alleging that the presiding elders were self-seeking. Tht charge against him was "falsehood and slander." A committee of thirteen, in secret session, found him guilty. * ? 4s Firebug Saved by Sheriff. Charged with the burning of the stable and barn of lur. P. N. Boozer. in which seventeen mules, fifteen bales of cotton and a large amount of hay and cotton seed were consumed at ati early hour Saturday morning fifteen miles west of Newberry, three negrces, Lewis Burton. Ernest Eurton and Levi Ebo, have been arrested and lodged in the county jail by Sheriff M. M. Buford. Lewis Burton, it is said, has confessed to the, crime and implicated the two other negroes. No reason is assiernpd for the crime. Keeling runs high against Levels Burton, who was captured by the citizens of the community, and had it not been for the presence of some coolheaded men, among them Sheriff Buford, who pleaded with the crowd tc let the law take its %course, it is probable that the negro would havo been lynched. Much credit is due the citizens of the community in allowing the lav/ to take its course in this case. There are many who think that this burning is the work cf an organized band cf negroes. This opinion is not shared by all, however, and it is hoped that such is not the case. < DEADLY FIRE AT CORNELL Four Students and Three Firemen Lose Life in Burning of Chi Psi Frat Hall of Great College. Seven persons met a tragic death Friday morning in the worst disaster that ever befell Cornell University at Ithaca, N. Y. Three of the victims were volunteer firemen of the city of Ithaca, and four were students cf Cornell University. The firemen all were prominent in Ithaca. They are: A. S. Robinson, attorney; John Rumsey, hardware merchant; Esty London, a salesman. The students were: O. L. Schmuck, Hanova, Pa.; F. \V. Grelle, South Orange, N. J.; VV. H. Nichoils, Chicago, 111.; J. M. McCutciieon, Pittsburg, Pa. Schiruck got c-ut of the building, but went back tor his roommate, Nicholls, and in the attempt to rescue his comrade, he was so seriously injured that he died in the hospital. One student, C. J. Pope, a freshman, of East Orange, N. J., was seriously injured, and three others were slightly injured. They are R. It. Powers, a senior, of Atlanta, Ga.; W. W. Geetz, a sophomore, of Milwaukee, Wis., and H. M. Curry, Jr., a sophomore, of Pittsburg. Rumsey, Landon and Robinson, the Ithaca volunteer firemen, had managed to train a hose on the north side of the house when the wall tottered. There was a cry of alarm, and several men standing near managed to get out of the way, but the three named were caught under the mass of rtuhrifi anri V-niPfl A few minutes after the flames were discovered, the Chi Psi chapter house was all ablaze, the flames, fanned by a strong northwest wind, and the students were trapped in the dormitory on the third floor. Many of the boys jumped to safety, while those who hesitated -were carried to the ground by the falling walls. Xo alarm was turned in until half an hour after the fire had been discovered, and it was half an hour later Defore the volunteer fire department could get to work. There was a long climb irom the lower part of the city to the college grounds, and by the time the firemen arrived the interior of the guilding was almost burned out. They could do nothing but prevent the adjoining buildings from taking fire. The money loss is nearly $200,000, since the original cost of the building erected by Mrs. Jennie McGraw Fiske, v.roo oft!) and extensive in nuo uwiit, Ya>vv>vvv? terlor decoration had been made. The cause of lh? fire is unknown, though it ir. sus/rected that it started in the kitchen. Cornell University J is immeasurably appalled by the terrible catastrophe, and academic work is almost suspended, i The burned building was built by 1 .Jennie McGraw Fiske, the benelactor of Cornell, whose will was contested by her husband, Professor Willard Fiske. Mrs. Fiske died abroad, seeking help for an incurable disease, and never 7 . entered her beautiful mansion alive. Her body was taken there for the obsequies. * ' > v ' , CflBBBMMMMBMMWBM??UP1??MQI !a religious war Looms in France Between Catholics and Government. SITUATION IS RIDICULOUS Allleged That Pcpe Has Decided to Attempt Overthrow of the Republic?Government Maintains Firm Attitude. A Paris special says: The press unanimously recognizes the extreme gravity of the religious issue to France, precipitated by the pope's intansigent attitude, and many papers predict a veritable religious warfare. The government's calculations have clearly been upsei and new legislative authority may be necessary to enable it to cope with the situation. It having been decided that after i Tuesday religious service may not be held without a preliminary declaration under the law of 1881, the pope's order entails the immediate initiation of prosecutions in 36,000 communes and logically the invasion of churches by the police for the purpose of pronouncing their dissolution and expelling the parish priests. me militant uatnoncs seemingly naii with enthusiasm the prospect of wartare and the attendant excitement of religious passions. M. Jaures. the socialist leader, professes to believe that the Vatican has deliberately decided to test the strength of the party of reaction in an attempt to overthrow the republic. The socialist organs generally, however, regard the pope's instructions as being the result cf the government's weakness in offering any concession beyond the formation of the cultural associations contemplated under the law of 19C5, and declare that the government now has no alternative except to insist on- declarations being made to show the ecclesiastics the door.. The conservative papers advice the government , to 1 amain true to its lib eral principles, contending that the j more the church is intolerant and j panic-stricken, the more authority it I will need, provided the government j does not lose its head. The government has made prepara- ' tions to cope with the situation, but is keeping them secret. The cabinet maintains a resolute front. Instructions to the prosecutors were telegraphed broadcast Monday. Premier Clemenceau is quoted as saying: "If the church elects to have war, It will have it, but the world wil* bear witness that the Vatican is like ' a foreign power trying to dispute | the authority of the French govern- j raent.'' M. Briand, minister of public wor- J ship, says he thinks the pope yielded ! to the importunities of the ultramontaines, who *are over-possessed with "the mad idc-a that out of disorder and civil war they will emerge .triumphant. The government new dees not face a revolt of the consciences of i French Catholics, but a purely political enterprise." The situation is likely to be further complicated when explanations of the government's intention will he demanded. | REPORT ON COTTON GINNED. r-^- | Census Bureau Gives Output to De- ! cember .1st at 10X25,445 Bales. | The census bureau at Washington, Monday, issued a bulletin showing the total amount of cotton of the crop of 1906, ginnecf to December 1. to have been 10,025,445 bales, counting round bales as half bales.
