$ Special Guidance Needed. ]
An old darkey who had not been 1
to church for a long time appeared *
one night at prayer-meeting, says the 1
\ Washington Post. His presence at 1
the meeting was commented on by 1
one of his brethren of the church.
The conversation between the two *
X was something like this: *
*v "Say, Brother Johnson, I ain't saw 1
- you heah at de meetin' house for a 1
considerable duration." 1
"Dat's so," replied Brother John
- Iwtstv* iTAmr KIIOTT " (

I "Well, how came you heah tonight, ?
t Brother Johnson?"
"Well, you see, its like dis, Brother '
i ; Jackson. I'se repairing a chicken 1
coop for some white gentlemens, and 1
# I\se got a situwations putting a fence
round a watermelon patch for ait
? other gentlemans. I need special
'% guidance from temptation." :
It Failed to Persuade.
s' _ A well known officer had a beauti- <
^ ful daughter. A young ensign, with i
/ no resources but his salary, fell in i
love with her, and asked the old i
? ' gentleman for her hand. The father
> > at once told him that he had hardly j
; * \enough to keep him in white gloves ]
? 0 aid to burnish his brass buttons. ;
"Well, admiral, what you say is j
true; hut when you married you were <
I only a midshipman, with even a small- ,
^ er salary than mine. How did you ;
get along?" asked the ensign, who
thought he had made a good defence. ]
' But not so. The crafty old sea- <
dog thundered forth: ^
"I lived on my father-in-law for j
&v the first ten years, but ru be nangea :
| if you are going to do it."

He knew at once that she was in ,

Stairs to the rescue. He entered the
jf room breathlessly and found her

fe V one Too Many.
A street car in charge of a newly j
i!; armomted Irish conductor had just 1
left the ear barn for the down-town
fe? run. Before it had proceeded many j
blocks rt was boarded by an inspector, j
f. ThiSvOfficial, after a glance at the reg- j
..lister and the occupants of the car, .
^ asked, in surprise: "Why, O'Fla- j
herty, how's this? You have seven
passengers, and the register shows
Bpjt six fares rang up!"
; :T3egorra, is that so?" puzzled the
gre6n conductor. Then instantly a j

HE ROBBED THE THIEF.
How a Pilgrim Qot Back His Stolen
Purse in Church.
From Czentachowa, the Mecca of
Polish pilgrims, comes an amazing
story of coincidences. A pilgrim
svent to one of the priests and complained
that some thief had stolen
bis purse while he was in church, and
asked for money. The priest replied
that he had no money and that the
best thing for the pilgrim to do was
to try to find the thief.
"I shall go into the church and
3teal money from somebody else/'
said the pilgrim, "for I have nothing
to go home with." He went into

Attempted to Murder Husband.
Albany, Ga., Nov. 15.?On a warrant
charging an attempt to murder,
sworn out by Mrs. E. F. Jackson, S.
H. Tift, a leading member of the
Georgia legislature, and one of the
wealthiest men in Southern Georgia,
was yesterday arrested and placed
under heavy bond.
Mrs. Jackson is a social leader and
first cousin of Tift. She alleges that
he came into the room where she
and her husband were with his hand
in his overcoat pocket, and that after
exchanging words with Jackson, Tift
drew an automatic revolver and
fired.

he fired, and diverted the aim so the
charge did not take effect. Servants
of the house then rushed in and disarmed
Mr. Tift. There are various
rumors as to the cause of the trouble,
but all the persons involved refused
to make any statement.
Jackson has not moved against
Tift, but Mrs. Jackson says she will
prosecute her cousin to the limit.
The Tifts are Connecticut people,
who made fortunes in Georgia lumber.
Their name has been given to
one of the new counties recently created
by the legislature.
A Bouquet from DeCamp.'
We note several of our exchanges
are casting bouquets at Brother
Knight, of the Bamberg Herald, because
he has improved his always interesting
paper by discarding the
co-operative, or patent sheet. The
Ledger is also gratified to note the
change and takes occasion to say
that nothing too good can be said of
Editor Knight. When the Press Association
meets here next year those
of our citizens who will be so fortunate
as to form his acquaintance we
feel will surely agree with us.?Gaffney

RHEUMATIC FOLKS!
Are You Sure Your Kidneys
are Well*?
Many rheumatic attacks are due te
uric acid in the blood. But the duty of
the kidneys is to remove all uric acid
from the blood. Its presence there
shows the kidneys are inactive. Don't
dally with\"uric acid solvents." You
might go on till doomsday with them,
but until you cure the kidneys you will
never get welL Doan's Kidney Pills not
only remove uric acid, but cure the kidneys
and then all danger from uric acid
is ended.
Rupert B. Calvo, bookbinder, employed
at The State Publishing Co., official
printers for the State of South Carolina,
living at 1010 Lumber St., Columbia, S.
C., says: * T thought I had rheumatism
and treated for it on that belief. I used
all kinds of liniments. The pain was in
my back and in my hips clear to the
shoulders. The liniments did no good
and I took to blood medicines but they
did not help me. I took a long trip in
hopes that the change of climate might
help me. I was away for three months
but could see no change for the better.
I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and determined
to try them, and got a^box at
a drug store. They completely removed
the pains out of my back and i have not
felt a touch of the old trouble since I
used them."

A Simple Recipe.
Everybody in Cedarby owned tli- :
Mrs. Hanson was the queen of coo
but they were likely to add that wh
it came to explaining the processes !>>
which she arrived at her excellent re
suits she left a good deal to In* desired.
"Your scalloped oysters are the best
we ever have at our church suppers or
anywhere, and yott know it," said a
neighbor, endeavoring to win special
favor from this culinary goddess. "Most
folks get 'em either too wet or too dry.
I tell 'em I don't know how you manage
it so yours are always just right.
I don't suppose you could tell exactly
yourself."
"Why, yes, I could," and Mrs. Hanson
smiled indulgently at the eager,
hopeful face of her neighbor. "All 1
do is butter the dish, put in a layer of
oysters, salted and peppered, then a
layer of buttered crumbs, then a layer
of milk and back to oysters again
Easy as pie, 'tis."
"A 'layer' of milk?" faltered the
neighbor.
"Why, yes," said Mrs. Hanson cheerfully.
"That's what makes 'em about
right?layer of oysters, layer of
crumbs and layer of milk. Leastways
that's what I do, and you say you like
'em."?Youth's Companion.
A Welsh Sermon.
The Welsh are noted for their fondness
for sermons and music. The annual
eisteddfod, the national bardic
congress, is attended by thousands,
who on the great day of festival
"chair" the fortunate bard, the winner
of the prize.
A similar enthusiasm greets the
Welsh preacher who is eloquent in
speech and practical in expounding the
Scriptures. The following story of a
Yv'elsh preacher, told in the "Journals
of Walter White," illustrates the
graphic, simple exposition which conmanded
the attention of the congregation:
"Noe worked at the ark, driving
ni'ic ninmn ninmn. nlumn. The hay
uuuu, (fiuu.f, r r, Mr ,
then came and said: 'Noe, there's good
hunting in the woods here, hares and
foxes. Leave your work and come and
hunt' But Noe kept on hammering,
plump, plump, plump.
"The haythen came again: 'Noe,
there's good beer at the Red Lion.
Leave your work and come and drink.'
But Noe kept on hammering, plump,
plump, plump! And then the rain
came, and the flood lifted up the ark
and carried Noe away and left the
haythen all screaming and squabbling
in the water."
Hat* Thit Improve With Age.
"A silk hat, like wine, improves with
age," said a clubman. "The oftener
you have it ironed the sleeker and
more brilliant it becomes. It costs a
good deal at the outset, but in the end
it is the cheapest hat to wear. It lasts,
you see, so long, and to iron it costs
so little. Some folks think the topper
very perishable. If It gets soaked with
rain, if sonde one sits on it and crushes
It into an accordion, they think it
must be thrown away the same as if
It were a derby. But not at all. A
silk hat can be taken apart and put
together again like a watch, and if it
gets crushed nothing is easier than to
melt off the silk, straighten out the
frame and then put on the silk again.
In England, the home of this hat, I
have known men to wear the same
topper for ten or twelve years. And
the oftener the old hat is ironed the
brighter and finer it shines.' Its luster
increases with time and friction like
the luster of good antique furniture."

An English Fling.
"High buildings, sir?" remarked an
American contemptuously. "Why, in
England you don't know what height
is. Last time I was in New York it
was a blazing hot day, and I saw a
man coming out of a lift wrapped
J from top to toe in bearskins, and 1
I said to him, 'Why are you muffled up

said, 'you see, I live at the top of the

with snow all the year round!'

18G3. If it were false surely it would

Not a Plunger.
"This scheme of mine," said the promoter,
"will make you rich."
"Maybe," said the plain, easy going
man. "But if I had the money necessary
to take the chance I'd feel so rich
that there would be no need of going
any further."?Washington Star.
