(Ufo Samforg f^ralii Thursday, Dec. 5,1907. I Hnber tfye I IChestnut Creel A Follower of Ananias. There had been a fight on a street car in the "wee sma" hours, when graves do not stand tenantless, at least in St. Louis, but when parties of revellers homeward wend their way from the suburbs. The next morniner two blue-clad servants of the United Railways Company, the same number of policemen and a cloud of sable witnesses lined up before Judge Tracey. One loquacious colored gentleman gave his testimony, which was so obviously in opposition to the facts in the case that the intervention of the Judge seemed necessary. "Have you read the Bible?" asked the Judge. "Yes, sir," briskly responded the witness. "I hav? been a student of the Holy Scriptures ever since I was a child." "Did you ever read in the Bible of a character named Ananias?" "Yes, sir, and I have been trying to follow him and imitate his example for nigh onto 20 years," replied the witness. "That will do," said the Judge. *- "Ybu may step down. It seems to ? A J A/\n4ri null oKrtllf fif lilt; Uicll axiu cuaw> **m quuui/ uv this case." The witness left the chair, wondering what the people were all laughing about. Outside the court room light was shed on the personality of the Scripture character whom he had been modestly following. A colored clergyman did the light-shedding act, and the witness hastened back to correct what he had called "the mistake of an impression." But the court had already adjourned.?St. Louis Globe-Democrat. "De rich can't take de money ter Heaven wid 'um," said Brother Williams. "No," replied Brother Dickey, "an* hit do look lak' dey can't turn it loose down here!"?Atlanta Constitution. "Willie Green," said the teacher, "you may define the word memory." "Memery." said Willie, "is what we forget with." ' "You traded your automobile for a Jersey cow, did you? Doesn't the cow cost you a good deal for feed?" 'Tes, but she doesn't cost me anything for repairs."?Chicago Tribune. "See here," said the theatrical manager, "you must drop your overbearing behavior toward the other members of the company." 'Indeed!" replied the leading lady haughtily. "I am the star, am I not?" "Well, yes; but just remember y that you are hot a fixed star." Court at Walterboro. Walterboro, Nov. 29?Court convened again this morning at 9 o'clock. Yesterday being Thanksgiving, no session was held. The court got down to business at once, and is now engaged in the trial of Raymond Ehrhardt, charged with the killing of Joe Cook at Ehrhardt's mill, in the upper part .of the county, September 18, 1907. The State finished its presentation at the morning session. The defence will take up the afternoon and probably to-morrow morning. Much interest is shown in this trial and despite the very inclement , weather, the court house has been packed all the morning. The solicitor is assisted by Mr. Varn. The attorneys for defence are: J. G. Pad r T-l T-k e 3 tit n T> gett, J as Hj. reuruoy anu w. r. Dennett. The grand jury handed in their presentment this morning. It was in some respects sensational. They commended and condemned. The "Nigger" and the "Open Door." Because certain white families in Greenville locked their pantries after giving out the meals, they were put on the black list and their names read out to the congregation by the negro preacher, at the same time advising his hearers not to work for those white people whose names appear on the black list. If this kind of thing keeps up, it won't be long before the nigger preachers will be having black lists made of aH those white folks who are cautious enough to lock the doors of their chicken houses every time they hear of a big nigger meeting in the neighborhood. The average nigger parson believes in the "open-door" policy?especially as to the pantries and the chicken coop.? Laurensville Herald. Ball Refused Gallman. Columbia, Nov. 28?Chief Justice Pope has refused bail to James W. Gallman, white, of Union county, who was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 15 years in the penitentiary. An appeal was taken and pending the appeal Gallman's attorneys applied to the chief justice for bail. Under the law no circuit judge can grant bail to a person convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to a term longer than ten years. The only hope for bail was therefore before a justice of the supreme court. I r HOBO HER GUEST. Frowsy Tramp Spends a Week In Palatial Denver Home. Sleeping every night for a week In a palatial residence without the knowledge of the occupants, changing rooms once because one was too cold and finally demanding a farewell breakfast at the point of a revolver and bidding a polite adieu to Miss Fannie Domini, the mistress of the household, an unidentified hobo accomplished what has probably never before been attempted by a specimen of his species. The residence where the tramo lodged so long is situated at 527 South Raritan street, Denver, and is the. property of M. A. Raynard. Miss Dom- J ini, who lives in the big house, is a cousin of the owner. Miss Domini was busy about her household work when she was startled by a sound. Turning, she beheld a befrazzled hobo, who bowed politely and said: "Now, don't youse scream or faint, loidy. I won't hoit youse. It's me wot's a perfect gent All I wants is a little scoffins hefore I leave dis house, where I has spent so many happy hours." The hobo then told Miss Domini, who was too dumfounded to interrupt, that he had been in the habit for the past week of entering the house by the cellar way to sleep. He slept in the cellar the first three nights, and when Miss Domini's maid was .washing in the basement he was hiding within a few feet of her. hobo found the basement too cold, he said, so after all in the place had retired.he went to the attic, where it was warmer, coming down occasionally when he desired to secure provender from the icebox on the back porch. * In the politest terms he demanded Lonrl TT7 Vl an ho dThihltwl 11X9 Ui. caiiiaoL, auu n uvu tev a revolver with its muzzle turned away from Miss Domini he got what he desired. After he had eaten a large meal he disappeared, going south. Miss Domini reported the case promptly to the police, but the brazen yet humorous hobo cannot now be found. 9 SAVED BY HIS PANTS. Strong Trousers Preserve Michigan Supervisor's Life. Because he wore an exceptionally strong pair of trousers Supervisor Paul Cayer of Mathias, Mich., escaped serious if not fatal injury while his less fortunate companion suffered hurts which resulted in his death. With James Green, aged twentyeight years, a carpenter living at Fie Lake, Cayer was engaged in repairing HIS TBOUSERS CAUGHT ON A LASGE NAIL, the roof of his farmhouse at Winters. The scaffolding collapsed, and the men fell with the wreckage. Green struck heavily on the ground and died within a few hours. Cayer's fall was arrested by his trousers catching on a large nail. The cloth was strong, and the supervisor hung suspended until rescued from his unpleasant and perilous predicament by his wife, who effected his rescue by means of a ladder. Hornet Costs a Horse His LifS. Stabbed in the hind leg by a hornet that dropped out of a nest in a tree under which It was hitched, a horse owned by Joseph Dolton of Chester, Pa., broke the hitching strap, kicked itself loose from the wagon and dashed up the street The contents of the wagon, furniture and rugs, were scattered along the street At the Walnut street crossing of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad the horse ran head first against an express train that was passing at the time and was hurled a distance of forty feet along the tracks. The hornet that caused the mischief was still clinging to the body of the horse when it was examined by witnpssps of the runaway. Boy Swallows Chestnut Bur. Harold Boyer, fourteen years old, of 472 Righter street, Philadelphia, held his mouth open, and a chestnut bur dropped Into It The bur stuck so tightly there that a physician had much work in removing it. Harold and several other small boys went chestnutlng along the Wissahickon. Young Boyer tossed a club among the branches. Fearing that it might in falling strike (me of his friends, he spread wide his jaws to yell a warning. A chestnut bur fell with such accuracy that it fell into Harold's gaping mouth and stuck fast, with its stinging thorns imbedded in his throat SAVED FROM SHARKS. Haitian Longshoreman Enjoys a Thrilling Experience. SALT MEAT TO THE RESCUE. Sea Monsters Preferred It to Human Flesh and Let Bill Thomas Go Long Enough to Give Him Time to Catch - a Rope. The quick wit of Harry Renkell, chief officer of the steamship Alleghany of the Ham burg-American line's Atlas service, saved wnnam 1 nomas, a longshoreman of Aux Cayes. Haiti, from being torn to pieces by a school of man eating sharks when he fell into the waters of the port of Aux Cayes. At the time the Alleghany, on her southern trip, was unloading in the Haitian port. All day the vessel had LOST HIS FOOTING AND WENT OV EE BOARD. been surrounded by a school of man eating sharks. Chief Officer Renkell was sitting on deck with a heavy caliber rifle at his side, waiting for a shot at one of them, when Thomas, who was working on one of the iighters tied up to the Alleghany, lost his footing and went overboard. A half dozen of the sharks swimming about the bow of the steamer made a rush at the longshoreman, and Mr. Renkell, realizing that it would be useless to shoot, seized a big square of salt beef, which the cook was preparing for dinner, and hurled it into the water ten feet from the struggling man. Evidently the sharks preferred the salt meat to human flesh, for they halted in their rush to fight for it Though the struggle lasted but a moment, the diversion gave Thomas time to seise a .rope thrown to him and to regain the lighter. When safely on board he was so overcome with fright that he was prostrated for hoars. The sharks, some of them a dozen feet in length, swam about the lighter, snapping their huge jaws, until Mr. Renkell succeeded in wounding several with his rifle. Later with another piece of the salt beef for bait he succeeded in hooking one which when hauled aboard measured ten feet The jaws of this shark, which Mr. Renkell took home as a souvenir to decorate his Hoboken home, are two feet in length. Bear and Hog Fight Drawn Battle. If the brown bear that limped to its den in the mountains near Manltou, Colo., after being routed by an Arkansas razorback hog will call at the ranch of Grove brothers it will find its antagonist dying from its wounds. The bear crept up to the hog and seized it hTT tfio lot* TTip hoz turned on the bear, and for half an hour there was a fierce battle. Both animals were gashed and gory when they fell from exhaustion. After a brief rest the bear limped away to its den, the hog rising and watching its departure. The owners of the hog, who witnessed the fight, are doing all they can for the animal, but believe it will die. Saves Guide's Life With Her Garter. "Big Bill" Long, a woodsman who serves as guide to folks who hunt near Patten, Me., owes his life to the quick wit of Miss Martha George, a young woman of Roxbury, Mass., who accidentally shot him and then used her garter for a tourniquet preventing him from bleeding to death. While gunning with Long as her guide Miss George accidentally pulled the second trigger of an automatic gun, the load tearing through an artery in the guide's leg. Instead of fainting she bared Long's leg and, telling the guide i?-- -XI ?> ha. 10 "LOOK, uie uuier waj, icuiurcu garter and stanched the flow of blood. Blown Twenty Feet by Red Fire. Joseph Asche, fourteen years old, of 199 Tillary street, Brooklyn, was probably fatally hurt from an explosion of red Are at an open air Republican meeting at Myrtle avenue and Prince street, Brooklyn. Asche selected the cover of a manhole of the Edison Electric company as a pan for his supply of fire powder. He did not notice that the cover was perforated with small holes, through which powerful gases were rising. At a signal Asche applied the lighted match.

Fight at St. natthew's. St. Matthew's, Nov. 30?The even tenor of this town was slightly dis-' turbed this morning by a personal difficulty between J. B. McLauchlin, Esq. of Bishopville, and Dr. T. H. Dreher. of St. Matthew's. Dr. Dreher was standing in his office door when McLauchlin and Messrs W. F. Buyck and 0. H. Wienges passed along. onpnctod Rnvplr nn'th rpfpr Jk/lVilVA UWVWWVt TT ence to some law business, and while all were within a few paces of each other McLauchlin made his assault. Both clinched and were allowed to scratch and punch it out for some minutes, when friends intervened. There was little damage to either party. The trouble dates back to an old feud, but the exciting cause was a letter written by Dreher in response to a request from one of McLauchlin's opponents for the Senate in Lee County, who afterwards withdrew from the race and removed to Virginia. It is said that the letter in I question was pretty extensively used in that campaign ana proDaDiy nas rankled ever since. It is believed that this is the end of hostilities.

The liniments did no good . and I took to blood medicines but they vg 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.
