Three Things lo Consider TOWNS BUILT ON CRATERS. In Buying a Stove or Range 4c -—Q-f- N, Quality, Economy, Price, First—A Range or Stove that isn’t made of the very best material will soon erark -it no longer cooks well, your money was wasted and you are dissatisfied. Second—The S'oveor Range that is built so that the heat escapes through un necessary apertures, consumes twice as much fuel as the one property built, then your fuel bill is too heavy and you aie not satisfied. Third—Don’t yield to the common fallacy that the arti :le sold for the fewest dollars is the cheapest. If a cooking apparatus isn’t built for a long life it isn’t ^heap at any price.

Yours for business, Shuford & Le Master FURNITURE, STOVES, UNDERTAKING. Buck’s Stoves Heat Quickly Here’s a real Stove advantage that every good housewife will appreciate. A thin Stove top means quick heat. Buck’s Cook Stove and Range tops are thin, light and strong. They are made of Scotch and Southern grey iron and are extra heavy ribbed, which prevents breaking and warping and insures lightness, strength and rapid heat conduction. A parlor match will heat a Buck’s Stove lid hot. Aud there’s no wasted heat in a Buck’s Stove. This is one of the several reasons why you should own one. I^et us show you one today.

The spectacle of an American gov eruor .standing bareheaded in the sun on Sunday bowing to a parade carry ing gamecocks and deni; tiding the rev oculion of n law prohibiting cockliglit- ing made by another American govern or aud enforced for live years by a fit- ban president was recently witnessed in Havana, according to a New York Herald correspondent. About a thou sand persons, mostly from curiosity, gathered in front of the palace at noon to see the lone advertised demonstra tion in favor of lighting chickens. They had to wait Governor Magoon's return from the consecration in tin* Church of Santo Cristo of Father Jones as arch bishop of Porto Rico. After these im posing rites and attending the solemn service of conferring the insignia of the Cross and Shield of St. Gregory on Sir William 1 tedding by the apostolic delegate, Archbishop A versa. Governor Magoou appeared on the palace bal cony to review the eockflghters. The day was also the anniversary of the Grlto de Jiaire, the day which saw Cuba free. A great outpouring for the glorious rooster, Cuba's bird of free dom, was expected. Not more than 3()d men wen- in line, following fourteen carriages and escorted by sixty mount ed men. All were Liberals, but not a Zayasista could be seen. Thus had the deadly feud between Liberal leaders prevented their force; joining in a de mand before the iaterventor for the re establishment of a sport both sides have said was the most Important po litical issue of the day. f At the head of the array went a Cu ban Hag with a gilded cock crowning the staff. An occasional horseman car ried a live rooster adorned with red aud spurred with steel. There were banners from Jaruco. Punta Brava and the orient. “Viva Los Gallos” ap pea ml on many, it was a brave sight. Three hands agitated the air, cheers broke out and loud vivas for “Los Americanos” and "Los Gallos,” or fighting cocks, marked the passage of the line. Major Slocum and Judge S( .men rich held up the governor. Gen eral Montengudo and Senors Nicolas de Cardenas. Manuel Nunez and Fran cisco Montalvo presented to him the petition that General Wood’s order pro hibiting cockfighting be repealed. The governor said he would give it his care ful consideration. Then General Mon- teagudo, addressing the crowd from the balcony, said: “Cubans, we the conqionent parts of this committee, are almost assured that cockfighting will be authorized, for we can rely upon the kindly heart of our provisional governor, Mr. Magoou, and we have no doubt but the Cuban peo ple shall have their will.” With cries of “Viva Mr. Magoon!” the crowd moved on, and the hands played “Jllnuno Bayames” and tried “The Star Spangled Banner.” The small showing made by the devotees of the cockfight created remark, as the city v s full of holiday makers. The refusal of the two Liberal factions to fraternize, even on such an important occasion, must account for It. Reports from the interior, where similar dem onstrations took place, say the partici pants numbered in many towns many thousands, orations were made, and all the town dignitaries joined In a de mand for thp Cuban national sport, cockfigbtiug. It is said that planters are opposed to Its re-establishment, as It keeps laborers away from the fields, encourages their gambling propens lies and tends to general worthlessness among a class It Is hard to keep of some value to the community. The general belief Is that Governor Magoon has pa#ed the question on to Secretary Taft, who allowed cockfight- lug in the Philippines outside of Ma nila. It Is therefore counted probabb- tuat Cubans In Havana may not fight cocks, but may do so in the vnrl ns provinces If the respective governors will let them, which no one doubts.

It was heard 3,000 miles away. If it had taken place in Cornwall, it could have been beard in New York, Constantinople, St. IVier^burg, Cairo and Greenland. The velocity of the explosion was three times that of an Armstrong gun. It raised lidal waves 100 feet high that invaded the land for live miles. It created dust liner than any rock can be ground by man. This dust was carried round the earth for ihree years in the air. It caused air waves that encircled the earth seven times. It broke windows 100 miles distant. The volcanoes of the world form a “belt of fire” round the earth and are rarely more than 300 miles from the sea. In the few exceptions to this rule the volcanoes are near large sheets of inland water. This tends to prove that the proximity of water is one of the main factors in the cause of erup tions ami that it is the percolation of water through ihe earth’s surface that leads lo volcanic activity. Mr. Garrison explained what he meant by Ihe ‘ belt of tire’’ by show ing a large map of the Pacific ocean on which the volcanic centers were mark ed, forming a rough circle, beginning In South America and following the coast line to Alaska, then round to Kamchatka, Japan and the Sunda strait to New Zealand. In the center of the circle lies the greatest crater in the world, in the Hawaiian islands, which is nine miles w ide. in this "belt of lire” are huo active volcanoes, which, said Air. Garrison, is a very small number compared with the number once active, the quiescent or extinct volcanoes numbering tens of thousands. Among the towns built on old craters Mr. Garrison mentioned Edinburgh (Arthur's Seat being the remains of a volcanic ring), Keswick, Aden, Kandy and Auckland. Brentor, in Devonshire, was at one time, probably within historic times, as high as Etna, and Etna is calculat ed to have thrown out 1JMXJ cubic miles of material In historic times. Among many remarkable photo graphs shown was one of a boiling lake in an icebound crater nearly 9,000 feet above sea level in New Zealand. Since the photograph was taken the volcano has tossed the lake into the air.—London Express. & rj 1 g Seeds In the World of Finaoce You personally know a few excejN tional men who have made high pole vaults into the lap of luxury.

In the year 1500 Margaret of Na varre wrote the following “recipe for a happy life.” More than f;»ur centuries have passed since, hut wisdom Is ever young, and her quaint words are full of good counsel now as when she pen ned them: “if you would have a happy life, take three ounces of patience and three of repose and mix together with a pound of peace of conscience. Add as much as the hand can hold of Inno cent pastimes and of hope and pleas ant memories three good drams. Mois ten these with the pleasure distilled from a cheerful heart. Add of love’s magic a few drops, but be sparing of these, for sometimes love brings a flame that naught but tears can drown. Grind all these things together and mix with an ounce of merriment to en liven. Yet all this may not bring hap piness unless in our orisons you lift your voice to bini v ho holds the gift of health.” —Try a bottle of “Nature Cough Remedy” and a box of “Grip Tablets” for that eoiit’h and cold, if they don’t cut the Gaffney Drug Gj. will re fund vour money.
