Valuable Knowledge.
"Pardon me, but could I see the
thief that was arrested last night?" a
man asked the sergeant.
"Really, sir, you cannot; what communication
would you like to make
to him?"
. "Oh, nothing; it is only that as it
was my house he robbed, I wanted to
ask him how he managed to enter
without waking my wife. When I
come home late at night I never
succeed in doing so.?Transatlantic

A Little Bit Mixed.
. Three tired citizens?a lawyer, a
doctor and a newspaper man?sat in
a back room recently in the cold gray
light of the early dawn. On the
table were many empty bottles and a
couple of packs of cards. As they
sat in silence a rat scurried across
the hearth into the darkness beyond.
The three men shifted their feet and
looked at each other uneasily. After
a long pause the lawyer spoke.
7 "I know what you fellows are
thinking," he said, "you think I saw
a rat, but I didn't."?Boston Record.
An Undeserved Reflection.
A New York clergyman, who often
spends his vacation in fishing the
streams of the Adirondacks, was on
one trip adopted by a handsome setter
dog, which insisted on following him
from camp to camp, as he moved
along the stream.
One day he met a party jof men
working upstream with a native
guide. The guide immediately recognized
the dog as his own property.
"Trying to steal my setter, are
you?" he shouted at the clergyman.
"I'll have you to jail for this!
There's a law in the woods just as
big as you have in the city!"
The clergyman endeavored to explain,
that he was an unwilling comi
panion of the dog, which had refused
to be driven away, but to little
effect until he'added a $2-bilI to his
a*mmpnts.
It is queer what strange things
happen to a man up here," he said
' to the stage-driver who later carried
him away from the woods. ' 'That is
the first time I was ever accused of
stealing a dog." i
"Yes, sir," replied the driver, sympathetically,
and added, after a moment's
pause: "For myself, sir, I
have never been accused of stealing
anything."?Youth's Companion:
Waited For a Warning?A 7year-oldhad
a great appetite for
buckwheat cakes, and could stow
away an amazing number of them
for breakfast.
One morning the grandfather, who
. was watching the performance, asked:
"Have you ever in your life had all
the buckwheat cakes that you could
fe eat?"
"Yes, sir," replied the boy. "Lots
of times I've felt I'd had enough."
"How do you tell when you have
had enough?"
"I just keep on eating until I get a
pain, and then I eat one more to
make sure." .

amusing instance of the negro's attitude
toward matrimony.
A darky clergyman in the state
named had married two negroes;
and after the ceremony the bridegroom
asked: "How much yo' charge
fo' this?"
"I usually leave that to the bridegroom,"
was the reply. "Sometimes
I am paid $5, sometimes $10,
sometimes less."
"Fivedollahs is a lot o' money,
pahson," said the bridegroom. 'Ah'll
give yo' $2, an' den ef Ah finds Ah
ain't been cheated, Ah'll give yo'
mo' in a monf."
In the stipulated time the bridegroom
returned.
"Pahson," said he, "qis here arrangement's

it. Ah figgers that yo' owes me

A ft- I lnr-nncfitiition<ll
Columbia, Nov. 6.?The supreme
court today rendered a decision declaring
unconstitutional the firemen's
fund act, which compels fire insurance
companies in Anderson,
Greenville, Spartanburg, Charleston,
Columbia, Florence and a few other
towns maintaining paid departments,
to pay two per cent of their gross
premiums collected in these towns
over to the firemen as a relief fund.
The ground is that the tax is for no
public purpose. The opinion is unanimous.
The act was patterned after
the North Carolina law.

COACH/IAN IN DIVORCE SUIT.
Mrs. H. J. Lord, Formerly of South
Carolina, is Defendant.
New York, Nov. 5?The famous
Hartje divorce scandal has been outdone
in sensational features by a suit
filed in Bridgeport, Conn., in which
Henry Johnson Lord, a relative of
Richard McCurdy and the millionaire
husband of the beautiful Augustina
Lord, names their coachman, Harry
Cameron.
In a fiery statement, Mrs. Lord declared
today that the charges were
untrue and that her husband was a
coward, liar and scoundrel. This is
what she says:
"What mv husband savs about me
and our negro coachman is a lie. He
says that he will shoot both Harry
Cameron and me on sight. He won't.
His is the sole guilt. He tried to lure
me into compromising myself, so he
could get a divorce and run off with
another woman that he loves. He has
ruined my life and so, besides the
coward, he is a scoundrel too."
Sitting in her beautiful home at
Trumbull, Conn., Mrs. Lord went
on to say she would fight the suit.
"If the Hartje case'hadn't appeared
in the newspapers," said Mrs.
Lord, "he would not now be suing
me for divorce upon an imitation of
the last scandal he remembered reading.
That man hasn't one thing
against me; nothing but one letter
that I wrote to Harry telling him not
to quit work because the rest of the
servants were talking about us. That
is the only thing, and that I don't
care about?only my husband stole it
from my writing desk to rriake evidence
when I had decided not to
send it to the coachman after all."
Mrs. Henry J. Lord was born Augustina
Emanuel, a South Carolina
beauty.

Greenville, Nov. 7?A sensational
fight occurred here today between
Chief of Police James Altom and Police

To the Trading Public.
I beg to announce to the trade that I
have purchased the stock of hardware
and other goods, formerly belonging to
Mr. C. J. S. Brooker, and that I will
continue the business at the same old
stand (under the town hall,) and I ask
a liberal share of the patronage of the
trading public. It will be my endeavor
to keep the stock, in all departments,
up to the high standard which my predecessor
kept it. Thanking the public
in advance I am,
Yours for business,

Railroad Agent Arrested.
Greenville, Nov. 6.?A deputy
sheriff went from Greenville this
morning to Greers and arrested
Southern Railway Agent G. H./Mulkey,
charged with shortage. Mulkey
was relieved of the position several
days ago and is arrested at the instigation
of a surety company.
The shortage is said to amount to
less than a thousand dollars. Mulkey
is a native of Mt. Airy, Ga., and has
been agent at Greers several years,
having married there.
On the arrival of the officers here
with the accused a preliminary trial
was held and Mulkey was bound over
to court in the sum of $1,000.
A ParaDie.
And it come to pass that after he
had advertised his goods there came
lunto him great multitudes from all
the regions round about, and did buy
of him. And when his competitors
saw it, they marveled among themselves,
saying: "How be it that this
man is busy, while we loaf about our
doors?" And he spoke unto them
saying: "Verily, verily, I say unto
you, in this fast age of push and
hustle it is as easy for a camel to enter
the eye of a needle than for a
business man to flourish without
advertising."

your little girl was sick? Was it Sears

Who carried you last winter when

When you want to raise money for

How much does Siegel, Cooper &

When you were sick, how many

WILL OUST JAPANESE BOY.
Savannah Public School Board to Bar
Young Oriental.
Savannah, Ga., Nov. 5?The board
of educators has decided to dismiss
George Yugama, the Japanese boy,
who was recently admitted to the
night school. Yugama was admitted
two weeks ago while Supt. Otis Ashmore,
of the public school board, was
absent from the city. As soon as Mr.
Ashmore returned and learned that
the Japanese lad had been admitted,
! he pointed out that it was a breakj
ing of the racial line which could not
be done in the south.
The board {of educators took Mr.
Ashmore's view, and the young Oriental
will be dismissed on the ground
that he is over the school age, which
will prevent the matter becoming an
international issue.
Marries His Mother-in-law.
Sioux City, Ia., November 8?Dr.
Horace Marvin, father of Horace
Marvin, whose supposed kidnaping
held the attention of the whole country
last spring, has married Mrs.
Flora M. Thorton Swift, mother of
his late wife, and grandmother of
the little boy.
| The wedding ceremony was performed
at Livingston, Delaware, near
the Bay Meadows Farm, to which
Mr. Marvin removed from Sioux
City. An effort was made to keep
the news a secret.
Mrs. Swift has published a book of
verses entitled "Love Thoughts."
While she is the grandmother of Dr.
Marvin's youngest children, she is
young in years.
