There were over three hundred people present and all spoke in loud praise of the occasion. Good things to eat were in abundance to tempt the inner man. The committee has been highly complimented upon its successful management of the affair. The following gentlemen were the Masouic committee: W S Camlin, Jr, L A Parsous, G W Camlin, W B Blakelev. D R Rogers. R M Haselden, E ? o ' W Hendisee and H C Tallavast. Our people were disappointed at not having any speaking. We expected Hon Philip H Stoll, but his being iu ttie campaign made it impossible for him to be present. In the afternoon the crowd witnessed ft ball game betweeu Harpers and Rosemary, which resulted in a score of 18 to 7 in favor of Harpers. The line-up of the Harpers nine was as follows: C K Feagin, manager; Glennie Gamhn, F B ; Roland "Wooten, S B; Barnie Crooks, T B ; Mack Parsons, S S ; Jess Parsons, R F; E R Montgomery, C F; Hugh Altman, L F ; J Altman, P; Charlie Broekinton, C.

This was a hard fought game, but the % Rosemary boys took their defeat in good cheer. The Harpers team was challenged by the Spring Gulley nine and crossed bats with them at that place at 4 o'clock in the afternoon of June 27, the score resulting in 20 to 24 in favor of Harpers. Our boys have not lost a game this season. Rosemary will have a picnic and ball game between that place and Georgetown on July 4. They anticipate a nice time. Our neighborhood has been blessed with fiue rains and our crops are looking tine. Good luck to yon and your paper, Mr Editor. May you live long and prosper. Subscriber. m Nature has provided the stomach 1 with certain natural fluids known as the digestive juices, and it is through these juices that the food we eat is acted upon in such a way as to produce the rich, red blood that flows through the veins of our body and thereby make us strong, healthy and robust, and it is the weakening of these digestive juices that destroys health. It is our own fault if we destroy our owu health, and yet it is so easy for auy one to take it promptly, but take something put the stomach out of order. When you need to take something you know is reliable?something like Kodol for Dyspepsia and Indigestion. Kodol is pleasaDt to take, it is reliable and is guranteed to give relief.

THE STACCATO STYLE. It was a job for a surgeon. Orange peel did it. There was a slide, a scream and a dull thud. The atmosphere was full of lin[ gerie, frou frou, hairpins and brica-brac.

When a Hollander wants to show his contempt for an Englishman he refers to him as a "steert man" ?in other words, "the man with a tail." The old legend says that Thomas a Becket cursed the Kentishraen who spitefully cut off his horse's tail and that the entire generation of Kent which followed wore tails like horses. John Bale, Edward VL's bishop of Ossory, mentions the legend, but gives some variations as to the cause of the punishment. He says on the authority of John Capgrave that "for eastvne vshe tavles at St. Augus-1 tine Dorsetshyre men had tayies ever after that." Polydorus, however, applies the legend to the Kentish men of Stroud "forecutting off Tomas Becket's horse's tayle." One account says that only those living in Kent at the time the curse was pronounced "were afflicted with large drooping tayies like brutes, their posterity beying not so affected." Might Have Been Worse. In a foursome competition at Machrihainish one Scotchman of the party, a man of optimistic temperament, always remarked, "It might have been waur," whenever he put the ball into a peculiarly difficult bunker. His irritated partner determined to rouse Macnab from his imperturbable serenity and said to him when next they played, "Macnab, 1 dreamed last night you were in hades." "It might have been waur," came the reply, pat. "How waur?" said the Englishman. "It might have been true," re - ? * ixl 1 plied MacnaD. "I mignx nave Deen there." The Scotchman ended at least "one up."?London Globe. The Size of Alaska. Alaska contains 550,000 square miles of mainland, 7,000 square miles of the Aleutian islands and 22,000 square miles of other islands, a total of 579,000 square miles, or one-fifth of the area of the rest of the United States. It requires the areas of California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and New York to equal this. The area of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Virginia and West Virginia equals only one-half of Alaska. It equals the combined area of Great Britain and Ireland, France, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. It stretches from latitude 51 degrees to 71 degrees and from longitude 130 degrees to 188 i degrees. THE CHINESE CODE. N l? Older Than Any Other That Is Now In Use. It may not be generally known that China has an ancient and elaborate, not to say voluminous, code of written laws. In point of antiquity it is by far the oldest of ai! | codes now in force. Only such instruments as the Decalogue or the code of Hammurabi seem ancient | beside it. If the code of Justinian ! had been continuously operative since its promulgation it would still be youthful as compared with this Chinese product. Intrinsically it : consists of some twenty-lour voi: unies. in the literary language of the i empire, and it not only co\iers the general field of substantive civil and criminal jurisprudence, but it also touches upon nearly every phase of human interest and duty, for the Chinese conception of law is broader than the occidental and includes many subjects which western j.urists would regard as belonging to the domain of ethics or etiquette. Independently of its contents the eiternal character of this code affords a guarantee of its permanence. It is said to consist of the accumulated decrees of the emperors, dating back twenty centuries, collected, revised and arranged in logical order, and is thus an application upou an elaborate 6cale of the system of ^adjudicated precedents which forms Jthe foundation of our Anglo-Saxon Jurisprudence. But in China the for precedent and written :ty is much greater than with from Confucius * %>quarrel, arbitrat.1 uispir "\ only class . brrespond*jdg ? >our lawyers is^that known as ' searchers," whose business if is to find a precedent according to which a litigated question may be decided. With such notions thus deeply rooted a code c< taining the precedents of ages an* vnbodying the sum of Chinese jun -.1 philosophy is not apt to be sei isly disturbed even by the mighty heaval now taking place in the empire.?Charles Sumner Loo. in American Review of Reviev Where Four 8tates Meet.

Glancing at a map of the United States, one finds an intersection between two straight lines, where Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona meet. The place is not often visited, as it is not easily reached. The stone erected by government surveyors is on the top of a spur in the Carriso mountains. The nearest railway town is Mancos, Colo., nearly a hundred miles from the "four corners." The region about was once densely populated by cliff dwellers, but there are now no human beings within miles. Some years ago the Indians destroyed the boundary shaft. It was not replaced until 1904, probably because a long time elapsed before the authorities knew the old one had been wrecked. Heart Power. The weight of the blood expelled at each contraction of the left ventricle of the heart is about four onnces. The multiplication of this j number gives us two and a quarter 1UUI |HJULiU&"~"Uiai? i&y a iuiv,v va|/u j ble of raising that number of pounds one foot high?as the work performed at each contraction of the left ventricle.
