Colston, Oct. 21,1907. Killed by Candle Fly. Almost instant death from swal. lowing a candle moth was the fate that befell 10-year-old Jesse Moore, son of George Moore, of Whiteville, this county. The moth passed into the boy's windpipe, and although a physician was in the house at the time, he could do nothing to save the child's life. The boy and his father were sitting in front of a fire. The former had fallen asleep in his chair with his mouth slightly open. A large moth fluttering around a lamp on a table near by suddenly flew into the * rm? ?.L boy's open moutn. ine iamer saw it and supposed that the boy would be awakened, but was alarmed when instead, he became black in the face and was apparently thrown into convulsions. In an adjoining room with a smaller child of the Moore family was Dr. McDonald, of Whiteville, and he was quickly called into the room to see the boy, but the lad died -in a few seconds. The moth had gone into the boy's mouth and lodged squarely on top of the windpipe ? completely shutting off his breath.? Owensboro, Ky., special to Washington Post.

"Aunt Chloe, do you think you are a Christian?" asked a preacher of an old negro woman who was smoking a pipe. "Yes, brudder, I 'spects I is." ''Do you believe in the Bible?" "Yes, brudder." "Do you know there is a passive in the Scripture that declares thai nothing unclean shall inherit the Kingdom of Heaven?" "Yes, I'se heard of it."

A district visitor once went to see an old Scotch woman who was dying. Noticing that her talk was all about herself and the minister, he said: "Well, really, Jennie, I believe you think there will be nobody in Heaven but yourself and the minister." "Ah, weel, said the old- woman, "an' I'm no* sae sure aboot the minister. " - The Cullud Smart Set. It was on a street car in Washington.
