On Tuesday night a tish-frj was gotten up by the members of the Kingstree bar and the court officials in honor of Judge Klugh. The party left towr early in the evening and drove to the Red Hill landing, where shad were plentiful and being fitly prepared, were enjoyed by every member of the party. The Judge, who is an "up-countryman," seldom has an opportunity to get such fine fish so soon after their leaving the water, and expressed himself very freely as the superiority of our Red Hill piscatorial product over the cat-fish stew of the red hills of upper Carolina. ?

THom Haunting Notaa. There was a peculiar sound from the direction of the woods as the member of the Bird Lovers' society sat in the window of her friend's country home one summer afternoon. She quickly took her small "Bird Suide" from her ever present bag and rapidly turned the leaves. At last she paused with a smile of satisfaction and listened, with her fin L 1 gex UCtWCCU l?U ICttVCB U1 tilt; little book, till the sound came again. When it was repeated an expression of doubt flitted across her features, but still she was hopeful. t "You probably know many of the bird notes, living so near the woods and in 6uch a quiet spot," she said to her friend. "Can you tell me what bird that is?" "That," said her friend briefly, "is our goat. We shall have to move him farther off." ? Youth's Companion. A Well Dressed Ham. Lord Russell when practicing at the bar one day examined a witness whose evidence promised to be damaging unless he could be previously confused. The only vulnerable part of the man was said to be his self esteem. The witness, a portly, overdressed individual, went into the box, and the great lawyer took him in hand. "Mr. John Tomkins, 1 believe?" "Yes." "You are a stockbroker?" "T ho ? Lord Russell regarded him attentively for a few moments and then said, "And a very well dressed ham you are, sir." The shout of laughter which followed completely disconcerted Mr. Tomkins, and the lawyer's point was gained.?Scottish Nights. An American, Most Likely. The "seeing London" automobile rolled out Piccadilly in the direction of Hyde park. "That, ladies and gents," shouted the guide as they passed an ancient edifice surrounded by a high brick wall?"that is the town house of the Duke of Dea, one of our largest landed proprietors." The eyes of the beautiful American on the back seat were illumined with sudden interest. "Who landed him?" she cried.? i London MaiL 1' 4 i " if.' V * < P Q jP&k I 1 3.
