A DAY OF OUTING FOR !
FRATERNAL ORDERSj
MASONS ARE JOINED BY OTHER ORDERS
IN GIVING BASKET PICNIC AT HARPERS-BALL
GAME FOLLOWS.
IIarpeks, June 27.?The MaSOuic
lodge of this place gave a
* - ? ? i .11 ... u: . L
D&SKfl picnic ntre on ouuc _i, niuuu
was joined in by the Knights of
Pythias and the Woodmen lodges,
of this place and Rosemary. This
was a uav of outing tor the fraternal j
orders of our town. 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;

game.
Mr B Richardson was disabled by
a ball from the pitcher, J Altman,
and was taken home, his place being
taken by Mr Cecil Tallavast. 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.

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. It is sold by DrWL Wallace.

English Legend of TaHed Men.
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

is not apt to be sei isly disturbed
even by the mighty heaval

6uch spot in the United States.
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

ble of raising that number of
pounds one foot high?as the work
performed at each contraction of
the left ventricle. In an adult person
in good health there are performed
some seventy-five such contractions
per minute. Adding the
work done by the right ventricle,
which is about one-third that of the
left, we find that the force expended
by- the human heart in twentyfour
hours would suffice to raise 120
tons weight one foot high.?New

Vicar?Ah, I'm sorry, John. But
we will converse about that some
other time. Just now I want you
to go to the plumber's and settle
this bill. And you might just talk
to the man in a careless sort of
way, as if it were your own bill!?
