INSISTED ON JUSTICE.
Some One Had to Suffer to Satisfy the
Judge's Conscience.
As a burglar was trying to break
into a house of a citizen of an
oriental city the framework of the
second story window to which he
clung gave way, and he fell and
broke his leg. Limping before the
justice the next clay, he maignanuy
demanded that the owner of the
house be punished.
"You shall have justice," said the
judge.
The owner, being summoned,
claimed that the accident was due
^wf5"lhe poor woodwork and that the
^-carpenter, not he, was to blame.
, 'That sounds reasonable," said
the judge. "Ivet the carpenter be
/ called."
The carpenter admitted that the
, ^ window was defective. "But how
V eould I do better," said he, "when
the mason work was out of plumb?"
"To be sure," replied the judge,
and he sent for the mason.

the coping was crooked. He explained
that while he was placing
it in position his attention was distracted
from his work by a pretty
girl in a blue tunic who passed on
the other side of the street.
\S "Then you are blameless," said
the judge, and the girl was 6ent
fer.
"I admit," said she, "that I am
{iretty, but that's not my fault, and
f the blue tunic attracted the mason's
attention the dyer, not I, is
responsible."
"That's good logic," said the
judge. "Let the dyer be called."
The dver came and pleaded
guilty.
"Take the wretch," said the
judge to the thief, "and hang him
from liis own doorpost."
The people applauded this wise
tlentence and hurried off to carry it
?nf Qnnn nnd re
ported that the dyer was too tall to
be hung from his doorpost.
"Find a short dyer and hang him
instead," said the judge, with a
yawn. "Let justice be done at any
cost."
Hi# Bright Idea.
was digging a ditch. On the
I first day of the job he dug and dug,
but made small progress. He went
back next morning only to find that
what he had done the day before
was entirely wiped out bv a cave-in.
Then a brilliant idea occurred to
Pat. Half burying his pick and
Shovel in the earth, leaving only
/ IUC l'IIU3 SUVA 11 uui, lit lOiviun;
"1 threw his coat and dinner pail over
the edge of the cave-in and then
hid. In a short time people came
along, took in the situation at a
glance, jumped at the conclusion
that the laborer had been caught in
the fall of the bank and went to
work hastily, trying to uncover his
body. Half an hour later three
sweating and puzzled men stood by
the nearly completed ditch and wondered
where the buried man was.
Then Pat came out from his retirement
and said: "Thank ye, gentlemen.
1 knowed you'd bite on that/'
I Ready Wrth tha Ancwar.
f Miss Baiter, feeling the effect#
of a torrid afternoon in June, was
^attempting to arouse the interest
of her languid class by giving, as
ahe supposed, an interesting talk on
the obelisk. After speaking for
half an hour she found that her ef.
forte were wasted. Feeling utterly
to provoked, she cried: "Evei v word
that I have said you have let in at
one ear and out of the other. Yon"
BB ?pointing to a girl whom she notieed
had been particularly inattentive
throughout the entire leaaon?
^B "tell me, what is an obelisk?"
The pupil, grasping the teachers
last words, rose and promptly anawe
red:
"An obelisk 16 something that
goes in one ear and out the*other."

The kind old lady noticed a small
lad entering a cobbler's with a small
package.

Prepared For the Worst.
Aunt Matilda, who was favored
with a visit from her favorite
nephew, told the youngster to 6oak
his feet in a tub of salt water if he
wanted to toughen them. She knew
he loved to go barefoot. He soaked
his hands too.
Then, after thinking about it for
a few moments, he said to himself:
"It's pretty near time for me to get
a licking. Tomorrow I'm going to
sit in it."?Ladies' Home Journal.

Book Nam* Blunders.
A London publishing house for a
long time kept a book in which
were noted the curious blunders
made by those who asked for books.
"Worcester's Diseases of the Colander''
was asked for. "The Worcester
Diocesan Calendar" was what
was required. "River Frozen, Silent
Gold and Unstepped Lands" was
demanded. The book wanted was
Rev. Frazer's "Silent Gods and Sun
Steeped Lands." "Play Actress,"
by Crockett, Pseudonym Library,
was turned into "Play Actress and
Cricket In the Pandemonium library."
"The Boy Hero," by Walsham
How, was wanted, but the collector
asked for "The Boy Hero of Walthamstow,"
and the same genius
turned "Frondes Agrestes" into
"Bounders and Heret'cs."
# Saved His Boy's Life
"My three year old boy was badly
constipated, had a high fever and
was in an awful condition, I gave
him two doses of Foley's Orino
Laxative and the next morning the
fever was gone and he was entirely
well. Foley'8 Orino Laxative saved
his life" A Wolkueh, Casimer, Wis.

charged with breaking an umbrella
over the complainant's head. "It
was an accident, your worship."
"Bid you not mean to hit her,
then?" "Oh. yes, I meant to hit
her, but I didn't mean to break my

Hie Stale Fair This Year?October
26 to 60.
The fortieth annual State Fair will |
be held at Columbia this year October
26-30, and it gives promise to be the
greatest State Fair ever held. No matter
how bad the crops or how hard the
times, everybody goes to the State Fair I
at Columbia. It has been the custom 1
now for nearly half a century, and it <
will ever continue so with crowds in- I
creasing each year. i
The State Fair is the one time of the I
year that work can lie put down and 1
everyone have a good time for a few 1
Jays. Old acquaintances and relatives <
meet at the State Fair if they are noi t
fortunate enough to meet elsewhere I
during the year. Friends meet friends <
:tnd college men meet their college i
mates ami renew friendships with good I
stories of the good times of the past. :
This year the fair holds even more i
than that for South Carolinians. It I
will be made up of new exhibits that i
will teach the farmers new methods I
and mpmvements that mean money to
every one of them. 1
The races will be the best ever seen 1
in the South. This being the first year 1
that the Fair Association has entered I
the Virginia-Carolina Circuit. The !
stake races will bring many of the <
country's very finest racers. The two 1
football games will draw thousands of i
enthusiastic "rooters" from both the i

THE STATE FAIR
Dctober 26 to 30?Prizes for
Successful Farmers.
One of the beet attractions at the
State Fair this year, which will be
leld in Columbia beginning Monday,
October 26th, and closing Friday, October
30th, will be the Field Crop Department.
This new feature will prove of
nterest to every farmer In the State.
It will be under the management ot
Prof. J. N. Harper, Director of the
-lemson Experimental Station, who Is
>ne of the best agricultural experts In
he South. Professor Harper has personally
solicited the exhibits for this
lepartment, and will arrange everything
to advantage. He will be as-Isted
by his whole corps of expert
associates, and It will be worth the trip
to the fair Just to talk to these expert
men and get their ideas on practical
farming.
Clemson College will have a big exhibit
In this department, but will not
be allowed to compete with the lndi
vidual exhibit*. Some tine prizes win
be awarded the farmers. For Instance.
ISO will be Riven for the largest yield
if corn to the acre, J25 for the second
best, and cotton will have the sam
nmount awarded for the best yield per
icre. Dozens of other Interesting contests
have been provided.
President Mobley, being a practical
stockman himself. Is giving much attention
to this part of the fair. There
will be more thoroughbreds shown than
ever before. The stalls have all been
renovated and the pure water from the
city has been connected, so that the
rattle and stock will be well taken
rare of. This will be good news to
hundreds of breeders who might otherwise
have hesitated to send their finest
to the fair. The poultry show bids fair
to be a grand success this year. There
seems to be more interest in every department.
The management believes
this will be the largest and best fair
v "Vld here. Information as to the
will be cheerfully supplied by
it John G. Mobley. or Secretary
x)ve, at Columbia. S. C.
