G THE WEEKLY LEDGER s GAFFNEY, 8. C., DECEMBER 20, 1895 THE FAULT OF THE AGE. The fault of the age is a mad endeavor To leap to heights that were made to cltmll, By a burst of strength or a thought that fc clever We plan to outwit and forestall Time We scorn to wait for the thing worth having Wo want high noon at the day's dim dawn: We find no pleasure in tolling and saving As our forefathers did in the good times gone. We force our roses before their season To bloom and blossom that we may wear; And then we wonder and ask the reason Why perfect buds are so few and rare We crave the gain, but despise the getting; We want wealth, not as reward, but dower; And the strength that is wasted in useless fretting Would fell a forest or build a tower. To covet the prize, yet shrink from the win- i nlng; To thirst for glory, yet fear the fight— Why, what can It lead to at last but sinning, To mental languor and moral blight? Better the old slow way of striving. And counting small gains when the year Is done, Than to use our forces all in contriving, And to grasp for pleasures we have not won —Ella Wheeler Wilcox, In Woman's Journal A BICYCLE CHASE. BY MRS. M. L. RAYNF. Milo Warren was making a call on a girl to whom he was fondly attached, although he had never told her so. But this was a case where actions speak louder than words, and—leave a girl alone for finding out if a young man regards her with favor. Every girl is clairvoyant wher# affairs of the heart are concerned. They were talking about their birth-* days, and the pleasant custom of giving presents at such a time. “Let me see,” said Milo, thoughtful ly, “did you say your birthday came in September, Miss Isellie?” “I didn't say,” remarked Miss Nellie, demurely. “Then it was December, wasn’t it? Some lucky fellow will be giving you a diamond, perhaps!” “Or a souvenir spoon,” laughed Nel lie; “you know they made jewel-spoons for birthday gifts, but all the girls changed their birthdays to December, and the young men could not stand the expense, and they sent a petition to the manufacturers, asking them to dis continue the custom, so no more spoons are in the market.” “I—i—i—really wish you would tell me when your natal day arrives. 1 might at least send you a bunch of roses, in remembrance of all the—the — happy days we have -spent together. Is it this month, Miss Nellie?” “You remind me of the parlor game: Is it this? Is it that?’” said Miss Nellie, and then fearing that the young man was becoming sentimental she turned the conversation to other subjects. But the next day Milo Warren dropped casually into the store where Miss Nellie Newton's best brother was engaged as bookkeeper, and inquired solemnly at the grated window, which permitted a segment of his countenance to appear, if that young man would take lunch with him. “Certainly,” was the brusque reply from a mouth tull of pens; “I’ll meet thee at Philippi—I mean at Hunger & Co.’s—in an hour.” He was there, and at the pleasant spread of good things provided Milo Warren propounded this conundrum: “If you like a. girl awfully, but haven’t told her so, and you think she maybe likes you awfully—no, I don’t mean that—but if that girl has a birth day, and you want to make her a pres ent, and she won’t tell you when it is —the birthday, you Know—oh, hang it ah, I’m everlastingly mixed up. Can’t you help a fellow out?” Lyman Newton laid aside his knife and fork, and looking Milo in the face asked, seriously: “Any-insanity in your family, Milo?” “None that 1 ever heard of outside of my <own case,” was the depressed an swer. “Reducing your heroics to a plain statement, then, you want to give a girl of your acquaintance a birthday present.” “Exactly.” “Is she an Old Woman?" "What do you mean?” roared War ren, turning red. “I’ll thank you to speak with respect of my freinds—be sides I—” “Oh, no harm done; don’t get riled so easily. 1 wanted to know if she be longed to the past age or the present. I take it, then, that she’s a New Woman?” “I understand now. Yes, I believe she has advanced opinions, but she isn’t one of those dreadful creatures that advocate the wearing of bloomers. Nellie is the soul of womanly modesty, and—^ "Nellie? Do I know this bright par ticular star?” “Why, of course you do—I quite for got—she’s your own sister!” “Well, I like that! And you want to make her a birthday present and don’t know the day. Sorry, old fellow, but ! can’t help you out. Nellie would take my head off if I told.” That ended the lunch, but an unfore seen thing happened. Just as Milo Warren left his company at the corner lie" aw an urchin he knew. It was the ialliction known as Nellie’s youngest brother, age seven, capacity for rais- ehief seven times seven, precocity un- solid—see —just send her a real stunner of a bike.” “What! A bicycle? Does she ride?” “How kin she? I reckon she kia learn, mister. You just send that bike —there ain’t nothin’ Nell wants wuss nor that.” With this advice, and being sworn to secrecy, the small terror bowled him self off. It gave Milo Warren something to do to purchase that bicycle and have it delivered to Miss Nellie on her birth day in an anonymous manner. He ex pected it back every hour for about a week, but it did not come, and he felt safe. The small brother had not be trayed him after alL But after a little he began to wish he had, for Miss Nellie had evidently mounted that bicycle and ridden out of his life. lie called, but she was out on her bicycle, no matter what the hour was, noon or night, and he got himself run over on the street and knocked down daily by dashiug out from sidewalk corners to see who the rider was, and getting hurt for his pains. When he could stand it no longer he came to a sudden resolve—he would buy a bicycle for himself, and perhaps be able to find Nellie. And now began an exciting chase for life and liberty, for at one moment the amateur bicyclist was under the feet of a trampling horse, the next he was running over a wrathy pedestrian, and he usually ended his experiences by picking up his frisky steed and carry ing it to the shop for repairs. And all this time he never caught a glimpse of Nellie, but he was inclined to think he divined the cause. Judg ing from his own experience in learn ing to ride a bicycle, Nellie might be exercising her own fractious acquisi tion on some remote roadway outside the city limits—or, dreadful thought, might even be laid up herself for re pairs. He called on the bookkeeper brother, but found him busy and non committal. So he waited and tried to possess his soul with patience, and learn to ride a bicycle without the zig zag motion tha^ had endangered the lives of the populace and nearly caused his arrest by the police. Then he made the discovery that if he gave his wheel its head, it would behave much better than when he guided it carefully, to the end that it traversed both sides of the street at once. After acting like a thing pos sessed it learned to behave, and he found himself skimming along like a bird on the wing, with an* exultant sense of freedom and delight, and he longed to sec Nellie and tell her what he hud been trying t<* say for months— that he loved her. And at that moment there whizzed past him a vision in bloomers, one of those dreadful new women of whom he had heard,"and now was to see. He ( almost felt that it was disloyalty to i gentle little Nellie to even look at such 1 an apparition; but somehow she looked i so quaint in her saucy jacket and A BIG FEE. Two to Law iltcd by any period of time. baggy trousers, her neatly gaitered feet were so pert and independent, that Milo looked and looked again, then he gave a great whoop, and took after the flying wheel like a streak of lightning. His confidence stood him instead of skill. He went spinning along in fine ! style until he reache^d a parallel with I the girl with bloomers, then he leaned I over to speak to her, toppled and fell ; in a heap, but not before he had gasped: I “Nellie!” That young lady skillfully eluded the wreck, made a fancy run and turn, and as Milo gathered himself up, said, pleasantly: “Why, Mr. Warren, I didn’t know that you rode a wheel.” “I don't,” said the young man, rue fully. feeling of his elbow to determine whether it was dislocated or merely abraded, “but you. Miss Nellie, are quite an expert," Miss Nellie nlurmured something about the wheel being a present from her brother, and that she had not cared to ride, but did just to pleasa him- “But you ought to see my little brother ride,” she said, with anthwi* asm: “Jy* rides the wheel when I am not using it, and he makes it spin. Why, he rid<es standing up, and I’m so afraid something will happen to him.” Milo was walking along, leading his wheel, as if he preferred that way, and Miss Nellie gave him several exhibi tions of her skill, and each moment made a stronger and more lasting im pression on the poor fellow’s heart. But even bicycle courtship comes to an end, and they were at Nellie’s home, and he must leave her, unless—he asked for a glass of water, and before it was brought he sat down with the wheel on the sidewalk. It was a sudden and most effective stroke of Art. Nellie cried and asked if he was killed anywhere; Mrs. New ton brought camphor; they got him into the house, and tbep he was able to speak, and said what was true enough —that he had lost his head for a mo ment. The two most expert cyclist# on the avenue are Milo and Nellie. Yon will recognize her by her brown bloomer suit, which is much admired, and he by the glad smile which mantles his expresdvc countenance. Nellie knows now who gave her the wheel, and Milo has had another example of the toial depravity of the small brother. Nellie's birthday comes in January, but to expedite matters the imp changed it to July. However, all's well that ends well.—Detroit Free Press. Hundred Thousand Dollars yent In an Indian Case. The old settler Cherokee Indians are soon to receive in payment from the government *<'.00,000. The roll is about completed in the department, showing that 1,100 Indians are entitled to share in the money, but, as it is to be paid out by estates and not per capita, there is a wide range of difference in the amounts to he received. In some in stances individuals will receive only 14 cents, and in other cases an individual will receive over *1,500. The money to be paid the old settlers, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, comes from interest on old accounts due them from the government. They date back to 1835, when a treaty was made with the Cherokees, and this fund, according to the terms of that treaty, is to be paid to a certain num ber of families who moved into that country prior to that time. This is how it happens that the money appears to be so unevenly divided. In some in stances but few members of a family are living, while in other cases many descendants arc living. The depart ment has had considerable trouble in perfecting the roll, as a few of those entitled to share this money now live in California. Nearly all live in the Cher okee nation. With those in the nation it has been a difficult matter to deter mine in many instances whether or not an individual is entitled to share the money. The work of perfecting the rolls has delayed payment for more than a year. While the Indians receive only *000,- 000, the entire claim is *800,000. The *200,000 is taken up by attorneys’ fees, which are paid direct to the attorneys. Over 32 years ago the Indians interest ed in this claim executed a contract with W. J. Bryant, of Tahlequah, giv ing him 23 per cent, of all the money he could get out of the combination of claims. He commenced work on the matter and is now 78 years old and very feeble, but he is expected to make another trip here to get his *200,000 and divide it with attorneys he has em ployed in the ease. It is understood that he has given contracts to attor neys and officials covering about *150,- 001), thus leaving him but *50,000. But this division was thought by him neces sary to bring about a final settlement, and. as estimated, it never would have been paid had he not been able to deal out some money where it would have the effect of securing action. In addition to this *200,000 given over to attorneys and for other purposes, $10,000 is taken out of the fund for ex- Congressman Heard, of Missouri, by an act of congress. Mr. Heard Svas em ployed in the case some time before he was elected to congress, and did the work that entitled him to the fee of *10,000. The payment of his fee was recommended by the present officials in the department, and Mr. Heard con cluded that it would be just us safe to have congress set apart his fee as it wou’d to leave the matter in the hands of the department officials. Accord ingly he had an act passed covering the matter and making sure his fee. He gets his fee out of the claim, and it is taken out in addition to the *200.000 that is given to Bryant and divided with others. MOLASSES TO BURN. FAITH COSTS HIM THIRTY HOGS. Farmer.Fnmklln Now Inclined to Go Back on MplrltualUtic Revelations. Henry Franklin, a Sac county (la.) farmer, is said by his neighbors to hold the record for unswerving confidence in the spiritualistic faith. Two weeks ago, while working in his hog yard, his gold watch dropped from his pocket among a group of porkers. Before Franylin could recover the timepiece the hogs made a rush fo^it and one of them apparently swallowed it, as the owner was unable to find it after the animals were driven away. Franklin did not like the idea of killing 50 head of hogs to recover a $25 watch, and as a last resort applied to a medium in the neigh borhood for advice on the subject. The medium promptly designated the hog which he said was the offender. Franklin accordingly slaughtered the animal, but a careful search of its in ternal economy failing to reveal any thing out of the ordinary he returned to the medium for more information. The latter admitted there was evident ly some error in his calculations, but ex pressed great confidence that he could make no further mistake and selected a different hog, which was also killed with the same result as in the preceding ease. This o|)oration continued until 30 hogs had paid the penalty, when Franklin be came discouraged and refused to pro ceed further with the investigation. The medium maintains that he stopped at just the wrong time and that one more attempt would he sure to clear up the mystery and restore the missing watch to its owner. SLEEPING OFF HER DINNER. .Ileal Milo, with malice prepense, engaged the dear child in a surfeit of sweets, and then asked, us if the idea was not of the least consequence and had just occurred to him: “When does Sister Nellie have a birthday?” The dear child looked at him for a moment, drew his mouth round under his ear, elevated both eyebrows, and said, in a confiding, infantile voice: "What’ll yor give ter know?" Advantageous terms being made, the boy puckered his mouth for a whistle, thought better of it and gave the fol lowing Saturday as his sisUr’s birth day. “As' if yer want to make yourself Medical Infallibility. Dr. A claims to be an adept in the art of diagnosis. On being called to see a lady, directly he had been ad mitted he remarked, with a knowing smile: “I see what your complaint is. You are .suffering from a disordered stom ach and nervous spasms.” "Sir!” “Let me finish; your temperament is sotpewhat exacting—” Here the lady interrupted him: “Why, it is not myself who is ill; it is my uncle.” The doctor, quite unabashed: “J sus pected aa much!"—Le Naiq Jauns. Planter* Ilavo Millions of Gallons ami They Want a Furnace Invented. There art: twenty-five million gallons of molasses stored in tanks on the vari ous sugar plantations throughout the state, says the New Orleans Times-Dem- ocrat, that is an elephant on tile sugar planters’ hands. They do /tot know what to do with it. They cannot sell it, for any profit in sight would be eaten up in transportation. Besides, it would require a cool half million dol lars to barrel it, and putting this sum and the freight charges together, when the present price of molasses is taken into consideration, the shipper would find that he would be out of pocket after his labor was concluded. The question of what disposition to make of this molasses is a knotty one to the sugar planters, and at the last two meetings of their association no other subject has been discussed. The plant ers say that it is a problem that has to solved, for before the next crop is taken off this surplus molasses has to be got rid / >f in order to make room for the new crpp. Heretofore the stuff has been dumped into the river or swamps. In the latter method it has been found that the molasses sours and makes life disagreeable to those living five miles away, while in dumping it into the river or streams, people living on the banks complain of it as a nuisance. It is being fed to stoek, but from sta tistics there is not enough stock by one- third on the various plantations to con sume it. Suggestions have been made to distill it into alcohol, but the plant ers find that it would require such an outlay of money to erect a distillery to distil fine alcohol so as to com pete with the world’s markets that U would not pay. It has also been sug gested thal, as molasses is excellent stock food, ft shipped to cen tral distributing points where stock is raised in large numbers—fexas, for in stance —by means of tank cars- This suggestion has met witli favor, and some day the experiment may be tried. The only solution, however, in sight seems to be the discovery of some way in which the molasses can be burned us fuel. When this problem is solved the planters believe that molasses will then be valuable. Experiments have been tried in burning molasses as fuel, and they have been successful, but it has been on such a smaH scale that it will not pay in its present crude form. What the planters want is for an in vention which will successfully allow molasses to enter the furnace in such a manner that it will burn rapidly, will not gum the carrier, and, in fact, do its duly without injuring the furnace in any respect. There is a fortune in i.i ;ht for the man who works out this hiv. ulion. A system of spraying the i .e;; on the bagasse as it goes along .i.h carrier to the furnace, is, from a!) a.:Jounta, the only system that will suffice.

When William Gregory was seven years old he made the acquaintance of one of the foremost men of the time, an acquaintance which, as Sir William long afterward wrote, brought him to a love of classic literature and thereby tinged his whole after-life. The man ner in which the thing came about was of itself calculated to make a lasting impression. The boy had gone fishing in Phoenix park, where lived the mar quis of Wellesley, brother of the duke of Wellington, and at that time lord lieutenant of Ireland, and was just landing a large roach when he became aware of the presence of a slight, short! elderly gentleman, who seemingly took a lively interest in what was going on. When the fish was safely on the bank the gentleman began questioning the boj'. “I was so fascinated by his pleasant manner,” Sir William says, “that I told him there were several particular spots in the pond where one was sure to catch roach, and perliaps. if it rained, a tench, and that if he would come out fishing with me 1 would show him these spots on condi tion that he was not to tell anyone about them. He asked my name and promised never to reveal my secrets. “1 was perfectly unaware of the ; greatness of the personage I was ad dressing, but I distinctly remember the impression he made on me and that l would gladly have lent him my rod and line and have brought him to all the best places, so bright and sunny was Ids manner and so deep, apparently, was his interest in the mysteries of roach fishing. In the evening he in formed my mother of our meeting and I then became aware that my acquaint ance was the lord lieutenant himself and very awe-stricken was I in conse quence. “A few days afterward I was sum moned to the vice-regal lodge, where I went with fear and trembling. The great man was in his study and in a very few minutes my alarm departed. He spoke about fishing, and said he was afraid he could not come to catch roach with me, but that he had got >i book for me which some day I wa*- sure to read with pleasure. "He then presented me with a re markably fine edition of Walton's ‘Com- pieat Angler,’ bound in Russia leather, with the inscription on the flyleaf: ‘1824. To the Corapleat Angler. From His Obedient Scholar, Wellesley.’ “I remember accepting it with great pleasure and with the remark, which caused him much amusement, that I was afraid it Had cost him too much.'" Alter that the lord lieutenant con stantly sent for the boy and insisted upon his beginning his classical studie; immediately. “I had to decline my nouns and conjugate my verbs to him.' says Sir William, “and it was my great est treat to be put through my facing* by him. I always felt, although such a very little fellow, that I must do whatever he told me and that f could do it.” Eleven years afterward, when the boy took the annual Latin prizes a Harrow he sent a copy of his composi tiou to Lord Wellesley, who acknmv. edged it at once in the kindest and most flattering of letters, heginning. “My dear fisherman!” Other letters followed till seven yea*'- later—1842. Then, when Lord Welle * ley was eighty-two years old and felt himself near death, as indeed hewu*. there came the last. It began: •Mr Deab Gazcoar: Tor 1 cannot \vri;> •Dear Sir.' and I do not wish t > la* r.nsuercc ‘Bear Lord ' Find some word i t.iiu • ill ex press affection, friendship a.id e r ii..i repun; Then followed some account of hi-- illness and some friendly advice ami then the signature: "Kver yours affectionately anti truly, " \VEl.l.ESLL7 Where shall we find a prettier story of sudden and lasting friendship be tween an old man and a boy?—Chicago News.
