Spartanburg, S. C. The Undoing 0 f Zipzip. (Louisville Courier-Journal.) Zipzip was a moth. Zipzlp first saw tin* dark in a cedar chest where his family made a part of the sum mer colony. Clothes were their natural prey, j but often they were lucky enough to find camphor and tar-tlabes. Some*, times they found insect powder. Zlpzijr soon learned how to attack a fur coat: how to grapple with a sealskin sack; how to bring down a feather boa In true scientific style. For some time our hero had been in business for himself. One day he encountered an unfamiliar enemy. He bit at it. but his mandibles closed on emptiness. Nothing was there. Zipzip was no coward. Again he sprang to the attack; again his jaws snapped on emptiness, atmosphere, air. nothing. Zipzip was afraid. His frame quivered. He turned over and ex pired. What was this monster. Implacable, Impalpable, invincible, void? Ah, Zipzip, who ms- prevail against a nonexistent foe? It was a peekaboo waist! Drink on Train Come. High. (Dallas, Tex., Dispatch.) George Brush, a traveler from Ken tucky. was the most surprised man In Texas last night. Brush was a passenger on an In ternational and Great Northern train entering Palestine. Pulling a flask from his poebet he was sampling a fine brand of whiskey when he felt a touch on his shoulder. Believing so men one was about to ask for a favor from the flask, the words “Considei yourself under arrest” ; fairly staggered him. A State ranger had caught him in the act of violating the new law pro hibiting drinking on trains. He spent the night In jail and to-day paid a 910 fine. It wa* the firat ar rest under the new law.

Thero is no black, and there is no white; There is no high, and there is no low; There is no friend, and there is no 1 foe. And earthly passion and earthly j pride The glance of the Godhead cannot abide. The petty distinctions of rank and caste Are shriveled and shrunk in the fur nace blast Of God’s great love when the angel Death Has stilled the heartbeats and stop ped the breath. And the gates of heaven as wide do swing For lowliest peasant as lorlisi king; And the fires of hell burn Just as bright For the rich or poor, for the black or white. “The Easy Chair."
