BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS, By A. N. Wood, dim. J. N. Lipscomb, W. H. Boss. HORSE SHOE ROBINSON. (Coutinued from page two.) and a uuoer follow he was—a good stout chap that liked to have been caught by a pair of reconnoitring Whigs, a few miles hack between tliis and Paeolet: they pushed him to tlie saddlefiaps. But you must have seen him yourself. Captain Hab- "shaw: for he told us you were on the road.” “From towards Paeolet!” exclaim ed the captain with surprise. “We ‘•aw nobody on that road. Wtaen did the man arrive?” “About an hour before you. He ci me at full speed, with his horse— a great, black, snorting beast seven teen hands high at least—all in a foam. He was first for passing by vithout stopping, but we challenged Mai and brought him short upon his ’eiunches. and then he told us he was i: a hurry, and musn’t lie delayed.” “A jolly kind of a fellow.” replied the lieutenant: “almost as big as his horse. A good civil fellow, too. that swings well at a canteen. He made a joke of the matter about vour com ing up. and called you old Cat-o’-nino tails—said that you were the cat. and your nim* tag-iags were the tails— ha. ha. ha!” “Blast the bastard!" exclaimed Habershaw; “who could ho be?” “Why we asked that, but he roared out with a great haw-haw—took another drink, and said he was never christened." “You should, as a good soldier,” said Habershaw, “have made him give his name.” “I tried him again, and he would onlv let us have a nickname: he told us then that he was called Jack-o’- Lantern. and had a special good stomach, and that if we wanted more of him we must give him a snatch of something to eat. Well, we did so. After that, he said he must have our landlord’s sword, for his own had been torn from him by the Whig troopers that pushed him so hard, and that the bill for it must be sent to Cruger. So he got the old cheese knife that used to hang over the fire place and strung it across his should er. He laughed so hard, and segined so good natured. that there was no doing anything with him. At last he mounted his horse again, just stoop- el down and whispered in mv ear at parting, that he was an old friend of yours, and that you could tell us all the news, and away he went, like a mad bully, clinking it over the hill at twenty miles to the hour.” “A black horse did you say?” in- nuired Habershaw'. “Had he a white star in the forehead, and the two hind legs white below' the knee?” “Exactly.” said the lieutenant and several others of the party. “It was Horse Shoe Robinson!” exclaimed Habershaw’. “by all the black devils!” “Horse Shoe. Horse Shoe., to be sure!” responded half a dozen voices. “He was a famous good rider. Horse Shoe or anybody else.” said the lieutenant. “That heats all!” said one of the troopers; “the cunning old fox! He told the truth when he said you would tell the news, captain: hut to think of his lies getting him past the guard, with a sword and a bellyfull into the bargain!” “Why didn’t you report instantly upon our arrival?” asked Habershaw. “Bless you.” replied the lieutenant. “I never suspicioned him. more than I did vou. The fellow laughed so naturally that I would never have thought him a runaway.” “There it is.” said Habershaw; “that’s tho want of discipline. The service will never thrive till these loggerheads are taught the rules of war.” Butler had heard enough to satisfy him on one material point, namely, that Robinson had secured his escape, and was in condition to take whatever advantage of circumstanc- e., the times might afford him. It was a consolation to him also to know that the sergeant had taken this route, as'it brought him nearer to the scene in which the major him self was likely to mingle. With this dawn of comfort brightening up his doubts, he addressed himself more composedly to sleep, and before day light. the sounds of riot having sunk into a lower and more drowsy tone, he succeeded in winning a temporary oblivion from his cares.

Couldn’t Racall His Name. Edison is one of the most absent- inlndcd o" men, and a good story of him in this regard relates to the visit of the Inventor to the office of the tax collector. Standing In line, with a score or more of taxpayers in front of him, Edison's mind reverted to an im portant experiment on which he had been engaged. When bis turn came at the window to which he had moved mechanically be was aroused by a clerk asking ids name. He looked at the man vacantly. “I could no more have given It then than I could Lave flown,” be confided later to an acquaintance. Luckily an official who recognized him and knew of his forgetfulness helped him out. DON'T FORGET you ecus be eared of Cemer, To- I mor or Chronic CM Bores. Tm I thousand osees treated.

A recent visit to one of tbe largest paint factories In the world, disclos ed machinery that was producing 10,000 gallons of Paint, and doing It better and in less time than 100 gal lons could be made by hand mixing. This was the celebrated L. & H. Paint. The L. & M. Zinc hardens L. & M. White Lead and makes L. &. M. Paint wear like Iron for 10 to 15 years. 4 gallons L. & M. mixed with 3 gal lons Linseed Oil makes 7 gallons of paint at a cost of less than $1.20 per gallon. If any defect exists in L. & M. Paint, will repaint bouse for nothing. Donations of L. & M. made to churches. Sold by Smith Hardware Company. Gaffney. 8. C. Forty-five Story Structure of Steel ana Granite Proposed For Pittsburg. Towering 700 feet high, surmounted by forty foot dials of a large clock symbolizing Justice’s sleepless eyes, will be the steel .'111(1 granite structure, ninety feet square, that-will lie .placed In the center of the Allegheny county courthouse in Pittsburg, where the areaway Is now, if the plans submitted to tho county commissioners are adopt ed, says the New York Tribune. Ample room for all the legal busi ness of the county would be provided by the scheme, it is stated, and county olficials who viewed the drawings were much impressed. The cost of the pur posed enlargement would be about $*2.- m.u.tXxi, but as it is said the new ad dition would be ample for all purposes for years to .come. It would not be nec essary to buy any more ground, and that already secured could be disposed of. No change would be made in the present courthouse except as to the fKi by 120 foot areaway In the center, and the beauty, it Is asserted, of the old building, which is one of the finest pieces of architecture in the United States, would be made more impres sive with the new structure of about forty-five stories in the center. With the tower 120 feet from any other structure, there would be no lack of light and air either when the struc ture is completed or in years to come. It is the intention of the architects to use thirty-five floors of the new build ing for courts, so that the whole of the present building can be used for of fices. There would be elevator# entering Into the rotunda from all four sides of tlie present building. Instead of the main or front entrance to the rotunda occupying the center of the building, as at present, there would be two smaller entrances from Fifth avenue. Diamond and Ross streets. Elevators would be on the Grant street side of tlie new tower. The main tower would lie connected with the present tower by a bridge similar to the “bridge of sighs” connecting the courthouse with the Jail. Tho rotunda would be 70 by 70 feet square and 00 feet high. The architects claim the proposed improvements could lie completed in eighteen months. Tlie new tower would give twice as much floor space as the present building, with a total of 125,000 square feet, the courtrooms be ing twenty-six feet high. The county recently purchased prop erty in Diamond street for $750,000, and a similar sum likely would l>e re quired to purchase additional proiterty necessary for extensions to provide j more room in the courthouse. By sell- : Ing this property and other properties purchased some time ago the county will have more than half the sum re- j quired to make the proposed improve- , menta. In figuring the cost of the proposed | Improvements the architects base their ! estimates on the cost of similar build- j ings erected in recent years in New York and other large cities. SHATTERING A TRADITION. Why Governors of the Carolinas De clined Drinks When They Met. Governor itoliin Woodruff of Con necticut returned to New Haven re eently from Jamestown, declaring that it is now a longer time than ever l>e tween drinks for tlie governor of North Carolina and the governor of South Carolina, says a New Haven special dispatch to the New York Times. Gov ernor Woodruff stood talking with Gov ernor Heyward of South Carolina the other day at the Jamestown exposi tion, when Governor Glenn of North Carolina came along. Learning that they had never met. Governor Wood ruff said: “Governor Heyward of South Caro lina, let me introduce Governor Glenn of North Carolina.” Then he added fa cetiously. “And I expect the usual sal utation when the governor of North Carolina meets tlie governor of South Carolina.” Governor Heyward moved restlessly and responded: “I beg your pardon, gentlemen, but I’m a teetotaler.” Governor Glenn came to his rescue by saying: “Don’t apologize, governor, for In that event we’re both prohibitionists. I, too, am opiiosed to drinking.” A DOG OF ALL TRADES. Airedale Terriera Do All toe Thinge Other Doga Do. “A dog of all trades” is the title given to tbe Airedale terrier by N. Wil Ham Haynes In Field and Stream, tfhey will do the work of almost every other breed. They wUl hunt rats, mice and other vermin, run deer, foxes or rabbits, beat for birds, bait badger, draw ’coon, retrieve game under any conditions, each with equal gusto and success. They Uourlsh us well in the furoff frozen north as in the ‘damp, fever stricken tropics, as well in tbe sun burned, scorched plains of Arizona and New Mexico as in the cool pine forests of Canada or Maine. Equally at home on land or in water, in any climate or hunting any game, the Airedale is in deed a wonderful dog. The German police have come to the conclusion that this breed makes the ideal police dog. In Paris the river police use these dogs with great suc cess as preventers of suicides. Several European armies have adopted the Airedales as their dogs of war. In which capacity they excel. In the Klondike they are used as sled dogs, though it has been found that they are most useful as a cross for tho native huskies. This mating produces dogs that are said to be ex ceptionally valuable for tills branch of work. , An Airedale will quickly learn to herd and drive sheep or cattle as well as any collie and is particularly use ful ns a guard or house dog. In disposition tlie Airedale is faith ful, loving and obedient, a combina tion of all that has always been ad mired In the dog. .The story of the dog of this breed that dragged through four diiles of howling blizzard the dead body of his master will always raise a luir’' In the throats of dog lovers. The origin of this many sided dog is ef comparatively recent date. He ap peared in Yorkshire, particularly in the valley of the Aire, from which he gets his name, about fifty years ago. Although the dog’s official name is Airedale terrier, still common usage, especially In England, has led to a dropping of the latter member, and ha Is now universally known and loved as tho Airedale. He was created, if the term be pee- mlssible. by those who had no knowl edge of scientific dog breeding, but who desired a good all around dog- big enough to take care of himself and useful in hunting vermin, especiailv along the little streams. To do this they mated otter hounds with all pot. sible combinations of terriers and by a series of haphazard crossings and re crossings produced the waterside ter rier, as he was then called. From this very mixed and doubtfully bred dog the early breeders by careful breeding and some modifications pro duced the grand dog that is now so rapidly becoming a general favorite. But. well ns they did their work, the mysterious foundations of the past are often cropping out in long, houndlike ears or white markings that should not be. The Airedale has a hard, close coat; long, well shaped, expressive head; strong muzzle; neat V shaped ears; bright, dark eyes; well defined and strong neck; good shoulders; chest deep and narrow; forelegs straight as gun barrels, with plenty of bone; ribs well sprung; loins strong; hams and second thitrhs full, powerful and mus cular; tail docked and carried nearly erect; action free and showy, as If al ways on the ah'-rt and never tired; eo! or black or dark badger grizzle on back and neck: bend, c^rs, chest legs and thighs a deen tan. SKIN DISEASES HUMORS IN THE BLOOD When the blood is pure, fresh and healthy, the skin will be soft, smootb and free from blemishes, but when some acid humor takes root in the circuy ^ lation Its presence Is manifested by a skin eruption or disease. These humors get into the blood, generally because of an inactive or sluggish condition of the members of the body whose duty it is to collect and carry off the waste and refuse matter of the system. This unheal tliy matter is left to sour and ferment and soon the circulation becomes charged with the acid poison. The blood begins to throw off the humors and acids through the S ores and glands of the skin, producing Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Psoriasis, * alt Rheum and skin eruptions of various kinds. Eczema appears, usually with a slight redness of the skin followed by pustules from which there flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense. It is generally on the back, breast, face, arms and legs, though other parts of the body may be affected. In Tetter the skin dries, cracks and bleeds; the acid in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, which are intended to keep it soft and pliant, causing a dry, feverish condition and giving it hard, leathery appearance.
