How He Knew.
"No." complained the Scotch professor
to his students; "ye dinna use
your faculties of observation. Ye
dinna use them. For instance?"
Picking up a jar of chemicals of
vile odor he stuck one finger into it
and then into his mouth.
"Taste it, gentlemen!" he com,
manded, as he passed the vessel from
student to student.
After each one had licked his finger,
and had felt rebellion through
his whole soul, the oK professor exclaimed
triumphantly:
"1 tof ye so. Ye dinna use your
faculties. For if ye had observed ye
would ha' seen that the finger I
stuck into the jar was nae the finger
I stuck into my mouth."?Ladies'

Bandit Shoots Five in Denver.
Denver, Col., Oct. 24.?A bandit
running amuck near the heart of the
city early today held up five pedestrians
within a few blocks and shot
and instantly killed T. J. Chase, of
Palmer Lake, Col., and mortally
wounded E. A. Clark, of this city.
The bandit fled before an automobile
tilled with police, who traced him
from the scene of one hold-up to another
only to arrive too late.
The shooting began when the bandid
held up Antonio Fuguris, a street
sweeper, sending a bullet through
his hat. A few minutes later Clark
staggered into a drug store with a
bullet through his right lung. Four
blocks away Chase met his death.
Without a word the bandit shot him
through the heart. He held up and
robbed two others without shooting
them.

Not Yet.
The Southern darkey's love of putting
off until next spring or later
what should be done on the spot is
as well known as it is vexatious. One
day Major Jackson, a contractor in a
Georgia quarry, told Zeb, the general
utility man, to . go to the blacksmith
shop across the road and bring
back a drill that was to be sharpened.
About half an hour later the
Major saw Zeb come poking around
the corner of the office.
"Here." he shouted, "where have
you been?"
"I ain't been, boss," responded Zeb

TO INCREASE SUPPLY OF PORK
Agricultural Pep't. Looking Aftei
Boys' Pig Club.
Washington, Oct. 2C>.?The depart
ment of agriculture has its Boys
Corn Club and its Girls' Canning
Club and now conies the Boys' Pis
Club, being organized in the Soail
tor the purpose of increasing the sup
Ply of pork and encouraging gooc
breeding of hogs. Already clubs hav<
been organized in Alabama ana Louis
iana, and a club organization ha:
been started in Georgia. It is tin
purpose of the officials of the depart
ment to organize clubs in ever:
Southern State.
The idea of the organization start
ed with the farmers' co-operativ<
demonstration branch of the depart
ment and has been carried on witl
the co-operation of the animal hus
bandry division of the bureau of ani
mal industry. The organization i:
an off-shoot of the Eoys' Corn Club
which has an organization in ever:
Southern State and which has beer
the means of producing record-break
ing yields of corn. The Pig Clul
when thoroughly organized will, it is
expected, work hand in hand witl
the Corn Club. The boys of the latter
will produce the corn and thf
boys of the newly organized association
will see to it that the pigs an
produced to eat the corn.
In connection with the organiza
tion of the Pig Club the departmenl
makes the following statement:
"In organizing the Boys' Pig Clut
it is the purpose of the departmenl
to establish clubs in every Southern
State. The animal husbandr:
division is co-operating with tlit
farmers' co-operation demonstrate
oilice in the bureau of plant industr\
and has already established clubs in
Alabama and Louisiana, and the
movement is under way in Georgia,
The organization is being done by the
officials of the farmers' co-operative
demonstration force, and the animal
husbandry agents are instructing and
demonstrating how to handle the
stock and to breed a superior type oi
Pigs.
"It is the purpose of the department
to have every member of the
club encourage not only an increased
production of the swine family, but
a better breed of pigs than is being
raised at present. It is a serious
purpose the officials of the department
are engaged in?one that is
aimed at the high cost of living.
"The production of pork is not
keeping pace with the increased population
and something must be done
to harmonize these two elements,
If each member of the club?and
they will be growing it is expected
all the time? will see to it that
one more pig and a better pig is produced
each year, then a long step
will have been taken in meeting the
ever growing chasm between pork
production and increased population."
Not Headed That Way.
A good many years ago a steamer
was sailing down the river, with a
shrewd old Yankee captain in command.
Suddenly the engines stopped,
and there was nothing doing for several
minutes! The passengers began
to talk it over among themselves, and
one of them, a portly, persistent sort
of person, advanced pompously to the
captain.
"What seems to be the trouble,
cap?" he inquired. "Why have we
stopped?"
"Too much fog," answered the
skipper curtly. "We can't see up
the river."
"But I can see the stars overhead
quite plainly," argued the persistent
party.
".Mebbe ye can," admitted the captain
grimly, "but unless the bilers
bust we ain't goin' that way."?National
Monthly.
Deputy's Pistol Discharged.
Anderson. Oct. 23.?As Deputy
Sheriff Sanders was escorting Judge
Hayne F. Rice, of Aiken, presiding
over court here, through the court
house to a hotel for dinner recess
today, a friend struck the officer with
a stick, causing the officer's pistol to
be discharged. The bullet struck the
seat of Sanders' trousers, struck the
tiled floor, glanced and buried itself
in a window jam. The incident
caused some excitement as the corridor
of the court house was crowded
at the time. While Deputy Sanders
was remonstrating with the man who
dealt the blow Judge Rice remarked
characteristically that the man "had
acted very foolishly." The bullet
harmed no one. The blow causing
the discharge of the pistol was dealt
in a friendly way and the man dealing
the blow was as much surprised
as anybody when the pistol fired.

dollars for working eight hours a

ten hours a day?

Charged With Taking Money.
Lexington, October 29.?Charge
with breach of trust with fradulen
intent, John Stephens, a white ma
of some prominence, was arreste
.Monday at Batesburg, by Sheriff Sir
J. Miller, of this county. The war
rant for Stephens's arrest was issue
by Magistrate H. B. Garvin, of Was
ener, upon complaint of E. D. Senter
field, who alleges that Stephens, o:
the 24th of October, this year, re
ceived a school claim, the propert
of the deponent for the sum of $85C
to carry to Aiken for the purpose o
getting the superintendent of Aike
County to approve the claim. Ste
phens was to secure the endorsemen
of the superintendent of educatio:
and was to leave the warrant with tha
official, who was to return the sam
to the Bank of Wagener, it is alleged
Instead of leaving the warrant wit
the superintendent of education, it i
slaimed that Stephens had the war
rant cashed and made away to Lex
ington County with the funds, ap
propriating a portion of the mone
to his own use.
