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- _ ,

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

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

Thn Indian, too ludlgnunt to re

watched him hurry out of the yard
and disappear down the road. Then
with a glad heart she relea^d Wes

Tho children listened breathlessly

A Fatal Accident.
Mr. Robt Keller, of this city, was
nhot and fatally wounde^Kvhile out
bird hunting with Mr. W^^L. 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.

'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

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. |

the West Street section, from

from Ganscvoort Street to Twentythird

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

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

Low-water line was at Washington

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
