Gaining the attention of the old man, he invited him to meet his 'father, and in hunting nc * around for the * supposed "father," << na they accidentally ran across a prom- ? - nent" traveling physician, who desired to demonstrate a sure cure for J.1C all kidney troubles. The young real ' .? . estate hunter immediately became interested, as he had Bright's disease, and his earnestness brought the old man from Wagener to a full irealiza- al tion of his trouble with his kidneys. The socalled "physician" requiring J*1 each party to exhibit five hundred C? dollars, that he might know that they aE 'v were responsible, before he would * cohsent to give his very valuable B? f . .. remedy away. After much dickering each party secured the necessary money and handed it to the "physician" to count. \ The result was that the "physi- yc cian" left the old man from Wagener, hi with his young real estate' friend, he minus five hundred dollars. h( The supposed real estate man buy- th ing the silence of the old man by hi promising^ to make good the amount di lost next morning, but when the old he man from Wagener awoke the next fo v morning, his real estate man with th the "prominent physician" had left th town; leaving the prominent old man w of Wagener alone in his agony of er mind. th Under the recent laws passed by ar the State of Kansas, these swindlers Is would be caught at the expense of tb the State, but under the laws of fc South Carolina, unless the old man Y< _ from Wagener will bear the expense, of there seems nothing to do but to pub- er lish to the world that this section h? has its full share of suckers that will p( bite. ; ?

"Beating" her way in men's clothing ayross the continent for love of the man she married four months ago, and barred from any friendship with her own sex, Mrs. Christine Williams, 20 years old, rode into Buffalo on the "blind baggage" of a Lake Shore express from Cleveland with her husband. Then she was hauled from the bumper of the first car where she had been sleeping in the arms of "Cass" McWilliams, who tried to keep his girl-wife and himself out of sight when the railroad detectives came on them. Coated with ice and exhausted, they were taken from their precari ous position by the trainmen and carried to a flag shanty. After the pair h^d been thawed out the train men began to ask questions. Then it was that the identity of the smaller of the two tramps was revealed to the amazed railroaders. The husband, anxious as to the condition of his wife, asked that they be put in charge of the police to get proper care. McWilliams and his girl-wife were well cared for and then taken before Judge Judge and charged with vagrancy. v Married four months ago in Los Angeles to Christine Jamison, a pretty school teacher, McWilliams had a good job as structural steel worker. Then came the laying off of workmen, among them McWilliams-. He decided to strike for New York. But the small amount of money that stood between Mr. and Mrs. McWilliams and starvation was out of the question for transporta nun. It was the girl who suggested a method of travel of which she had read, and she finally persuaded the reluctant husband to fit her out in some of his clothes, and together they started on the journey across the continent. From Los Angeles they went to Kansas City; from Kansas City to St. Louis; then, striking north for Chicago, where they stayed for several days. Starting again they reached Cleveland. They left the Ohio city and jumped on the "blind baggage" of an express train from Cleveland to Buffalo on the Lake Shore. They endured more on the last jump than on all the rest. The cold was biting, the snow, through which the train was tearing at a 60-mile gait, cut their faces, and their hands were frozen to the iron rods to which they clung for life. The suffering man and woman were soaked to the skin by water from the tender, and their clothes froze. Judge Judge turned the girl over to the Salvation Army, and suspended sentence on McWilliams, who took the advice of the court and started out to look for employment.?Buffalo dispatch to New York Tribune. f * "Buying and Selling Niggers." Now comes the time of year, along towards the Christmas holidays, when the negro farm laborer and wage-earner is chasing the white farmer and landowner and "signing up" for the coming year with the party fnrnishine the * most "advance money." Thus it has been pretty nearly ever since the negro became a "free man" nearly 50 years ago.. The ex-slave in order to get the cash fo'r a holiday frolic sells himself into bondage, and in many instances skips out, leaving the landowner in the lurch. Bye and bye the runaway negro is caught and brought back, put on the chain gang or in jail only to be bought out by some one else, and 30 the average negro man is to-day pretty nearly as much a slave as he was a half century ago. And both the white man and the negro are responsible for this condition of things. Until the white man ceases to advance the money asked for by the negro laborer the latter can never be a. free man, and so long as the evil of advancing the cash continues the average negro laborer will continue to grow from bad to worse until within a few short seasons hence the nejjro as a farm laborer is bound to become the sorriest type of the human being. The thing grows worse year after year, and the end is not yet in sight.?Clinton Gazette. Pointed Paragraphs. The football hero will soon climb back on his pedestal. It's a surprise party if everybody there has a good time. Occasionally a man proves his wjsiom by acting foolish. An ounce of flattery is better than i ton of tombstone obituary. He is a wise man who never argues with people he is fond of. It is sometimes better to have loved and lost than to be the other fellow. There may have been a time when the good died young?but now die poor. And many a man gets what he deserves when he gets it in his necto. The proof of a good bluffer lies in his ability to make good when he is sailed. Lying comes as natural to some people as getting married does to an actress. A man seldom makes good when he attempts to show off before his children or his enemies. And many a man doesn't owe a dollar in the world because his acquaintances know him too well.
