A comedian boarder who owed five I * weeks' back pay was in one of these v..H facetious moods. "Madam," he chuckled, spearing a green strawberry and holding it f above bis saucer, "I understand you entered the boarding house business merely to save enough money to become an actress. Am I right?" ' The landlady stared at him coldly. x "Yes, Mr. Highball," she respond\i::\ ed in rasping tones, "I am boarding beats at present so that I may be able to beat the boards later on." ? And then the comedian boarder left the table without even finishing i r his dessert. c X ^ I- '- Just Enough. "I never could use money with' a clear conscience," said Mrs. Goodsole, . "that had been made in stocks. I ^ never could forget that somebody lost it." ' "That being the case," replied her fcmhand. "I sruess I'll eive to some - > charity tie $300 I made today." "(Mi, Charley! Did you, really? ' That with the $3001 have saved will be just enough to pay for the Eurol pean trip that I've been dreaming of I '; for years." Ify. \ ? * / A Unique Clock. In the barber shop at the Ten Eyck v Hotel in Albany, said a traveling man j?< / at the Neil House, there is a clock Sp which causes no end of amusement. | '' It is so arranged that the hands mark I . time and revolve in exactly the oppo'p. site direction and manner from a normal clock's. First year legislators ; \ and others new to the place when \ they enter the barber shop invariably stand gaping at it with an air of comm plete mystification for some little time. Then they turn to some one and | ask some such question as: f "Is that twisted or am I?" The varying effects on different persons keeps Qie barbers in an intermittent state of laughter and merriment. It I is not until the customer mounts into one of the chairs and faces the mirror wall before him that he usually understands the reason for having the clock built on the*reverse principle.?Columbus Dispatch. Long and Loud. A'noted evangelist was preaching * the other day in an uptown church. The family who entertained him had a son who was unusually fond of attending service. When his parents were ready little Charles flatly refusal , . ed to go with them. l don t want to go to church, he ] declared. "What's the matter?" asked the . mother, much surprised, "are you ill?" "No, but I heard Doctor before, and I don't like him," confessed the child. "Oh, Charles, that's a wicked thing to say," gasped the mother, "Tell mother why." "Well," said Charles, "he preaches so long that I can't keep awake and t he preaches so loud that I can't go to sleep." Cultivate sincerity. Think such thoughts and cherish such feelings as you are not afraid to speak out. The girl makes a mistake who "puts on" what she does not feel, however ex< cedent it may be in itself. Never say more than you mean, even if you would like to mean it. Instead, devote your efforts to being what you , wish to appear. r 'At- ' -i. . . k TREED BY AN ELEPHANT. Queer Adventure of Chief Commissioner of Coorg. S. M. Fraser. chief commissioner of Coorg, India, and resident in Mysore, met with an adventure in Coorg near the Canara border during a recent tour of his district. Mr. Fraser, accompanied by Mr. Harris, assistant commissioner; Mr. McCarthy, forest officer, and Mr. Haller, assistant director Of agriculture, was riding along a narrow zigzag path through an almost impenetrable jungle when he heard an elephant moving parallel with them. McCarthy rode to the next bend to | see if the coast was clear. At the moj ment McCarthy turned the bend a tusker came out on the path above him and without a moment's hesitation gave the usual squeal and charged down the path. Shouting "Ride!" McCarthy galloped bhck and, with this flying start, passed Fraser, who had not fully realized the danger. The rest of the party disappeared around the next bend. Fraser turned into an opening in the jungle, only to find It a regular trap of impenetrable growth on all sides. The elephant was within a few yards of the horse's tail. Without an Instant's hesitation, throwing an arm around a tree while passing, he let the horse gallop from under him, fell to the ground on all fours, flung himself to one side clear of the charging elephant's path and, springing to his feet, took refuge behind a larger tree some paces away. No sooner did the elephant miss his man than it pulled up, turned around and proceeded slowly to hunt for him. Fraser in the meantime moved silently around the tree, keeping it between himself and the elephant Fortunately after some minutes the tusker disappeared. Fraser emerged from his place of concealment not damaged in any way and as cool as though such hairbreadth escapes were a matter of everyday occurrence. 1 HORSE HOISTED FROM HOLE. Betty Rescued Uninjured From the Bowels of the Earth. As Patrick ?allagher of '59 West Fifty-ninth street, New York city, was driving by the Hoffman House, at Broadway and Twenty-fifth street, in his trim little runabout, drawn by his fast trotter Betty, a black cat sprang from an excavation in front of the addition that is being made to the Hoffman House and darted, between the mare's legs. Betty shied and plunged into the excavation, slipping from the harness as she fell. A large beam ten feet below the street broke the fall, and for an instant the horse was suspended on it Then Betty kicked herself free and went to the bottom of the pit, fifteen feet down. The afternoon parade of men and women halted. In five minutes the crowd aronnd the excavation extended to Madison square park, and traffic was blocked. A gang of workmen tried to pull the mare out with a derrick, but they could not haul her plump body through the small opening. It was believed for BETTY SHOWED HEB HORSE SENSE. awhile that part of the street would have to be torn up to get the mare out A squad from the Society For the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was summoned, and a derrick made especial to lift horses was put into play. It was ticklish work for the men who had to go down into the excavation to put the belt around Betty, for the mare did not take kindly to her predicament She kicked and bit stubbornly resisting their every effort to make her a temporary prisoner. At the end of an hour she was safely put in a series of belts, and the derrick began to hoist her into the air. Here Betty displayed her horse sense by keeping perfectly still until she was squeezed through the narrow opening. Betty kicked and snorted as soon as she felt her hoofs on solid ground. She broke away from the workmen and plunged into the crowd. Several persons were knocked down. Five men captured Betty, and she was thrown to the ground. Then the men sat on her until she became quiet The mare was taken to the office of Dr. Johnson, a veterinary, of 117 West Twenty-fifth Etreet and found to be uninjured. V \ / Our Banking Institutions. Bamberg, May 31.? The Bamberg Banking company has moved into the new building on Main street and now has one of the most up-to-date banking houses in South Carolina, which I has been pronounced by some to be without a doubt the most completely finished building below Columbia. The fixtures are of mahogany with marble base and the front of the building is of pressed brick, there being two stories. The upper floor is used for offices and consists of suites. Bamberg now has two modern banking houses, the People's bank having been opened last fall in a handsome building. Bamberg county now has five banks, whereas a few years ago there was only one, the Bamberg Banking com pany, which was established in 1887. Lovett Carried to Georgia. W. P. Lovett, the young white man, who was arrested here some weeks ago on a warrant from Greensboro, Ga., charging himl.with seduction and bigamy, was carried back to Georgia Monday night. Lovet has been confined in jail here, and he seemed not to fear the result of a trial in Georgia, he being carried back for that purpose. An officer came over Monday afternoon and he left with his prisoner on the next1 train. Summer School.

Pittsburg, May 28.?There is rebellion in the public schools of the fashionable suburb of Oakdale because a negro was made valedictorian of the graduating class of the high school, and only five of the fifteen members of the class attended the commencement exercises Saturday night. When it was announced by Prof. Johnson of the school several days ago that Ray Wooten, a negro and son of the village barber, was the honor student and would be the class valedictorian there were many protests. Prof. Johnson paid no heed to the objections and declared that themembers of the graduating class would attend the commencement exercises or no diplomas would be issued to them. The absentees declare that they will not accept the diplomas. trio n c haid! ;; I/I\. VJ. A iiiinyi i Deotal Surgeon - - Bamberg, S.

Bradford Maiden, Hearing Sweetheart Is to Marry Another, Decides That There Shall Be "No Wedding Bells For Him." , Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned. Maddened by. the thought that her old sweetheart, Thaddeus S. Ross, a popular society man of Oil City, Pa., was about to marry Miss Edith Drusilla Samsell, who had replaced her In his affection, Miss Belle Stroup of Bradford went to Oil City, met Ross In Dr. George W. Magee's office, fired three shots, killing him instantly, and then turning the weapon upon herself she sent a bullet through her own heart Death came to Ross so suddenly and unexpectedly that he did not have time even to take his hands from his trousers pockets, where he had placed them while he was conversing with his discarded sweetheart The wedding was to have taken place the same SOT FSLL AT HZB FKBT. night, and Miss Samsell Is prostrated with grief because of the tragic ending of her matrimonial prospects. What passed between Ross and Miss Stroop never will be known. No one was in the doctor's office with them when the murder and suicide occurred. It remained for Dr. Magee to find Ross dead in a chair in the reception room and the body of Miss Stroup lying at his feet. The young woman had made short and decisive work in the few seconds she was engaged in avenging herself for real or Imagined grievances against the man. She sent one bullet through his . brain, another through the neck and still another through the heart. One bullet had sufficed to end her life after she had pretroHHinp. which she had de TUIIVU I-mv IF oy dded should never be solemnized. Seemingly Miss Stroup had stood almost directly over Boss when she sent the bullet crashing through her own heart It is believed she hoped to fall into his arms and die there. Instead she fell at his feet, but the pistol fell upon the knees of Ross, and there it was found by the doctor, who was staggered by the discovery of the bodies in bis office. Miss Stroup formerly lived in Oil City, and when she was there Ross was devoted to her. The devotion continued for awhile after she had moved to Bradford, but soon it was noticed that Ross' trips to Bradford became less frequent and that he seemed to be smitten with the charms of Miss Samsell. Until recently it was not known generally, however, that he and Miss Samsell were to be married. The mission of Miss Stroup to Oil City, it is said, was to make a final appe&T not to discard her for Miss Samsell, and she had armed herself to enforce her demand at the point of the pistol and, falling in that to kill the man whom she regarded as faithless. How the meeting took place in the office of Dr. Magee is not known. Ross was a clerk in the postoffice. Both he and Miss Stroup were members of prominent families. All arrangements for the Ross-Sam sell wedding had been perfected. Both Roes and Miss Samsell were in the happiest of moods, and tneir reiauves &uu friends shared In that happiness. Boss was at home at noon dining and talking over with his family the arrangements for the wedding. The telephone bell rang. Ross' father answered the call. "I'd like to speak to Thad," a woman's voice said. And the elder Ross | called his son to the telephone. After conversing with the woman at ! the other end of the wire for several seconds young Ross seemed to be excited. j' "I have to go to Dr. Magee's office for a few minutes," he said. "I'll return as soon as I can." Miss Stroup was the woman who had made the telephone call. She had arrived on the noon train from Bradford, where she was ill in bed when she received a letter from Ross announcing his coming marriage. She arose from bed despite the advice of her friends and took the train for Oil City. She went at once to the doctor's office. He was home for dinner, and in his absence she lured young Ross to hit death. ! VALUABLE REAL E I | 119 acre farm, five miles from Bamberg, near Odom's bridge. Good bargain.
