II I cliol ' g l] OUR BOYS AND GIRLS t Molly's Strategy. By lluth Mcrwyn. ( "Now, children," said Molly Jndnon gayly, as she looked at tho doleful faces of her younger brother and her little sister, "we are going to have a lot of fun to-day, and before you know It It will bo time for father and mother to come back. First, I UlUBt give you another dose of medicine, Wesley, for mother said you must take It regularly all day t? break up your ague." Molly went to a little shelf In the oellearway for the quinine. She felt keenly the responsibility of her position, for It was the first time In her life that she had been left alone with the children for a whole day. Of ETW- _ , ^ 0 0 ^ course there was no danger, she thought, hut then one did feci so much safer when one's mother was at homo. The Judsons lived a mile and a half from the nearest village. In the opposite direction was a great swamp beyond which a small hand of Indians had s settlement. The Indians often passed the Judson house, but rarely did one stop there, for they all stood in awe of Molly's father, whom they called the "Big Chief." Molly carefully measured out the wune pov iier, dissolved It in 11 tablespoon of water and brought It to her brother. Wesley swallowed the dose heroically though he made a very wry face. "Now I'll read you u story from Pilgrim's Progress, if you want me to," said Molly. "All right," Wesley leaned back contentedly in his chair. "Just read about the tights Pilgrim had, and ikip the other parts, please." Palth brought her lhtlo rocking I chair up close to Molly, who began | to read the wonderful story. "Wasn't Pilgrim great!" Wesley zclalmed as Molly finished. "When t i et big I'm going to do as he did. Of course there aren't any giants like Apollyon around here, so I'm going to fight drunken Indians. Father Bays a drunken Indian is the worst creature on earth. Aren't you sorry you are a girl, Molly?" "Why?" asked Molly. "Because you can't ever fight. Girls can't ever conquer their enemies: they haven't got strength jnough." "Let's play Indian," continued Wesley. "I'll be Scar Face and Faith will be my squaw. Molly, you be a wl 'te lady and we'll come to see you an 1 scare you most out of vour wi a." "All light," agreed Molly. The children left the room to prepaid for the game. When they came hack n marvelous change hud taken place. Wesley wrapt>ed In a gorgeous blanket. hi? head encircled by a waving band of feathers, one cheek flu ling vith a fiery red scar of halk, presented n frightful appearance. Faith, with a brtlllanf shawl drawn over her hoad, followed meekly in IiIr rear. The fun began in good earnest. Wesley acted Ills part with great pirtl, while Molly played the role of the frightened white lady to perfection. IJresently Wesley stepped to the window to sdjust his head-gear, which was slipping down over .his face. 'Oh, Molly," he gasned suridenlv turning around with a terrified look. "There'i" n real Indian coming here!" Molly gave one glance toward the window and her face went white. ""Wesley," she said quietly, "you and Faith go Into the bedroom and ahut the door tight. Don't make any noise. and stay there until I call you out." A loud knock thundered through the room. Molly, outwardly calm, though her heart was beating as if it would burst, opened the door. There stood Scar Face, aa the aettlera called him. Molly knew birp from the great acar acrona hla cheek. She had often heard this Indian apoken of as the wickedest man of the tribe. "Good afternoon," she said, trying hard to keep the terror out of. her voice. 1 Soar Face grunted and entered the room. I "Big Chief not home." The words were uttered?not as a queetion, but as a declaration of faet. White Squaw gone too/* ho addd "I'apoe.es all alone." jlolly nodded. There was no uso lei.ying It. Scar Face had doubtless ocn her father and mother drlvs >ast for they had gone across ths twam p to reach their destination. "Will you sit down?" she asked, bo-lug to romilinto hltn bv treating bint politely. Scar Face sat bolt upright In the chair Molly placed for him. His bead 1 lie eyea wandered curiously around the room, taking in every object. "Is your wife well?" asked Molly. l!o grunted an affirmative. "And your papooses?" "Me got no papoos#es," he answered gruffly. There was a long silence In which Molly heard distinctly the beating of her owi heart. Having made a thorough survey of the room, Scar Face's eyes came btts~k and rested on Molly's face. 'Me want drink," he said. "All right, I'll get you one." Molly srossed the room, and tilting a big tin dipper with water from a nail. ho brouht it to Scar Face. A look of utter disgust passed over the Indian's facp. "l?gh!" he ejaculrted, waving it cornfully away, "mo no want water. Me no like it. Papooea get ine cider." "We haven't any cider," said Molly. "Barrel of It in collar," declared Sour Knee. "Oh, but that isn't fit to drink; we are keeping it for vinegar. It j hadn't been good for weeks." "Me like it. Me want some," insisted the Indian. 'It's bitter," began Molly, but 8c a r Face broke in savagely. hU small eyes narrowing to two glltterinc: points that seemed to pierc? through her. "Go!" he commanded, "or me us? , tor-iuhawk." He pointed toward Mol- I ly's long braid with his loft hand, while with his right he made a signlf.'cnnl circling motion. Molly went to the cupboard and started to take down a little pitcher. "No," Raid Scar Face, and h? pointed to a large pitcher which stood near. "Me want heap cider. firing heap," he ordered, as Molly started reluctantly toward the cellarway. Her thoughts came thick and fast What should she do? She dared not disobey, yet she knew the effect th< hard cider would have upon t if man. Molly knew that even the of 11 rers in the village were afraid o icor Face when he was drunk. A thought Hashed through he liind. Sho caught "Sight of the pack igo of quinine on the little shell >vcr the stairs. Hastily taking i town she hurried into the cellar. Emptying the quinine into tie pitcher, site Hllod the dish to th jrim with the cider. Then she wen pack to Sear Face.

Thn Indian, too ludlgnunt to re ply, stalked out of the room. Molly watched him hurry out of the yard and disappear down the road. Then with a glad heart she relea^d Wes ley and Faith from their prison. Tho children listened breathlessly as alio told them how she had gotten rid of Scar Face. When Hhe ha.1 flnlahed, Wesley exclaimed, his pale fa*e flushed, hia eyes sparkling "Why, Molly, I thins you are most as brave as Pilgrim.

Barley, also of thiB city, on las?Tuesduy near Elloreo. Mr. Keller wau shot about four o'clock In the afternoon and lived until nine o'clock when he passed away uurrounued by his devoted wife, little daughter, and other retluives and friends. He died at the Klloreo Hotel, where he was carried after being shot. Messrs. Keller and Barley left the Atlantic Coast Line Railway for Orangeburg Tuesday morning over a few days hunt In the Elloree, Croston and lx>ne Star sections. After a successful day's hunt on Tuesday Mr. Keller was counting over what he had killed. He had lain his gun down with the muzzle pointing in the direction in which he was sitting, when a dog came up and began nosing the birds. Mr. Keller ordered. e dog off, when the dog stopped on the gun and discharged it. The load striking Mr. Keller in the stomach. A physician soon reached him, and a telegram was sent to Orangeburg for his wife and little daughter, both of whom reached him before his death. , Mr.Keller was then taken to the hotel at Elloree, where he lingered until about nine o'clock when he passed into the groat beyond. The remains were brought to Orangoburg Tuesday night on the train from Elloree. Mr. Keller was about thirty-six years of age. Ho was the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Jeff M. Keller of this city, and was highly PHteonmrl a ? e ? j u i?n ftv? V/ii ui ruiiltivo.s and frlendH. Some years ago he married Miss Annie Adden, who with one little girl survive him. When the news of the horrible accident reached the city on Tuesday afternoon it caHt a gloom over all. (Orangeburg Times and Democrat.) '1 he Host Liquor l>n\v. The Charlotte News gets enthusiastic over our new liquor. "In our judgment," says tho News, "thero is not a State in the Union today that has a better law, relative to tho whiskey question, than South Carolina, and such a law would possibly never have been obtained had it not been for its experience with the dispensary. In that State the matter of whiskey or prohibition is left with each county. Any county may vote in prohibition or may vote in a' dispensary, but never (and here is the beauty of the law) never, can any vote in saloons. In other words there can never he a saloon in South Carolina." The News goes on to say that, "as bad as the State Dispensary in South Carolina came to be, it led to the passage of a law which is ideal, a law which has not an equal in excellence in any state in the Union." Senator Tillman was the man who inserted in the State Constitution the provision that no barrooms should ever be allowed again in this State, and he is therefore entitled to the < redit for the best feature of the new liquor law. We think the News is correct when it says that the State Dispensary law made the new law possible, and if it turns out to, he a good law Senator Tillman will have to bo given credit for passing a law that made the new law a possibility. The Thaw Trial. President Roosevelt, like thous andB of other men, is disgusted with tho disposition to go into details shown by newspapers in reporting the Thaw murder trial. On February 11, the president gave to the Associated Press this statement: \ "Tho president has communicated with the postmaster general to know whether It is feasible to bur from the mails tho papers that give the | full and disgusting particulars of the Thaw case. Ho doos not know whether or not it is feasil*I ? but ii it is ho wishes it done." Are the newspapers really to blame for publishing such things us are coming out in the Thaw trial? Are not the readers of vhe papers to blame for its being published? We read an editorial the other day from one of the so-called religious weeklies scoring the editors of the dally papers for publishing the "disgusting details" of the Thaw trial. How did the editor of the religious weekly know I that the daily papers were publishing these "disgusting details"? He nmut hoixi .....i J ? - uxmv uul < H UH L1H III , UI1U HI) U(J U great many other people who condemn the dnil> papers for publishing them. Why don't these people quit reading such Htuflf. and then the newspapers will stop publishing it. Making Progress. The French Colonial Association, which wuh Btarted three years ago by tho French cotton manufacturers with the object of exploring the French colonies for the purpose ot' ascertaining where cotton could bo advantageously grown, haH obtained some surprising results and seems to warrant their confidence that in a few years the French colonies will bo able to supply a considerable nor Hon of the raw cotton cotiHumed In France. In round figures France ; bought over $80,000,000 worth of raw cotton last year, chiefly from the United States. Of the seed sent to the colonies the best results wore obtained with Mississippi, Louisiana and sea island. The historic and famed Washington Light Infantry of Charleston celebrated its centennial on Washington's birthday with imposing cer| cmonies. The Hon. Donald McKay ( Frost, one of Charleston's most gifted and patriotic sons, delivered the oration, which was one of power and eloquence. Mr. Frost has already won distinction as a legislator, and his oration on this occasion has add| ed to his deservedly high reputation i as a clear thinker and forceful public speaker. Charleston is to be congratulated on furnishing to the councils of the State men of such ability and patriotism. | i WOIU-D'8 Bl'SIKST STftRKT. West Strrrt, Xe*v York City, m Torreut of Traffic. . Manhattan Island has thlrtv-twf> ..i 11 ob of water front, and tta* city of New York derive r. approximately. $2,500,000 yearly in rentals from >t? docks, and lerrles. Of this great re venue the West Street section, from tho Cattery to and Including the new marginal street which extends from Ganscvoort Street to Twentythird Street, yields almost two-thirds says Leslie's Weekly. In this section the Pennsylvania Railroad Company alone psiyrv the city rartre than ^ 000 a ycdjl for tho privilege* of main- \ talning i r< freight and passenger terminals. The White Star Steamship Cotn>s?ny Is paying $86,00# apiece yearly for two piers. These figures give an Idea of the great value of pier privileges along West Street. It Is practically an Impossihilty to give accurate figures as to the number of passengers and the amount of freight handled by the various transportation companies which touch West Street because no such compilation has been made. Take the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. During each twenty-four hour period 170 trains# arrive from the west at its Jersey City terminal, and all tho passengers are bound for New York In a rush hour one day a conductor and his assistants counted 4,800 persons on a single t.r^ki. In the month ^4 of October. 1005. the Market Street (Newark) ticket office of the Pennsylvania sold 82.000 ronnri-t rf n t iiVU ets. lo say nothing of the one-way fares. All these i eople cross West Street, on their way to th% city, and the figures given suggest but imprrfectly the heavy travel from all sources which is focused on this busy section. A stroll along West Street v 111 prove interesting to all lovers of H>o picturesque. Pier 1. near the beginning of the street at historic old Whitehall, Is the landing place for fruit steamers. Here, on certain days, trucks are lined up by the hundreds, and there is a scene of marvellous activity when the work of" unloading begins. Within an lionr after the steamcVL reaches the pier a the truck loads fruit are being, I hurried to various distributing points and sent to all purt/s of the east. Monday is "commercial travellers' day," when thousands of wideawake salesmen may be seen hurrying to the ferries on their way to catch early trains. The arrival or d< part tire of a great ocean liner is always tin inspiring sight, and such happenings occur daily at the West Street piers. Oddly enough the only street cars which run along this broad thoroughfare arc pulled by horses, and the "holt line" tracks and antiquated equipment remain :>k o relic of the days before New York grew up." At night the scene on West Street is an animated one. The flickering lights against the straggling rows of buildings along the wnter front make a unique setting for the motley throngs of pedestrians hurrying homeward, the roistering longshoremen and shouting truckmen and the whole presents a picture of New York life which ia not soon forgotten. West Street proper is 7 0 feet wide. The department of docks and ferries had added 1X0 feet to this for the entire length, and in many places the thoroughfare lias been extended In width to 4 00 feet When the Dutch occupied the quaint village of the lower end of the island, In I 620, the high-water line was at a point 12f? feet west of Broadway- about the present east, line of GreenwichStreet Low-water line was at Washington Street (then known as ."LowWater" street.), and West Street wn# the old bulkhead line. It is difficult to conceive of the loneliness and solitude of the Hudson river shore nt that time, when Jits waters washe d the fortified pnll^ide Just, west of where the new aim magnificent customs bouse now stands. In 17 22 the "streets under t.he water" were ordered surveyed by the town a Mermen.
