KINGSTREE-THE GATEWAY
TO OPPORTUNITY.
THURSDAY. JUNE 8. 1911.
If the Governor doesn't let up on
the parole there won't l>e much use
for a pay-roll any |longer at the
penitentiary.
What a big mistake Dr Bigham
and W B Avant made to run away,
when had they gone to the "pen"
they would no doubt have been pardoned
or paroled after a few months'
imprisonment.
If Attorney Felder is "suably
solvent," as he claims to be, and
Governor Blease is innocent of the
charges, as he claims to be, it seems
that the Governor has a chance to
y recover more in a libel suit than his
present office would pay in many a
year. The burden of proof rests on
Felder, and the letters should speak
\ for themselves For a man whose
conscience is clear it looks like a
"cinch."
Effort is being made to work up
maudlin sympathy on behalf of Dr
Bigham, who, with W B Avant, was
convicted of killing Mrs Ruth Crisp
Bigham, the young wife of Dr Big
ham, at Murrell's Inlet al>out two
years agi>. Inasmuch as Bigham
and Avant are both fugitives from
justice, neither having served a single
day of his sentence, there seems
to l>e very little ground on which to
base a petition for pardon. To
those most familiar with the case,
V one fact stands out clearly: If Avant
* be guilty, so is Bigham; and if Dr
Bigham l>e turned loose, in common
justice Avant should go free as well.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE.
(Ella Wheeler Wilcox ha9 written many booksof
veise cf more or less merit, but her chief bid for
fane is based on the following poem, than which
few more appealing bits of verse have appeared in
modern literature).
Laugh, ard the world laughs with you;
Weep, and vou weep alone.
For the sad old earth must borrow itsmirth,
But has trouble enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the ear.
The echoes bound to a joyful sound.
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go.
They want full measure of all your
pleasure,
But do not need your Y'oe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all.
Th ire are none to decline your nectared
wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the nwls of pleasure
For a long and lordly train,
But*one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.
?Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

SHE FOUGHT IN THE NAVY.
LoijIm Baker Served as a Marina an
tha Old Constitution.
At least one woman has served in
the United States navy. But according
to Edgar Sranton Maclay,
writing in the Bluejacket, she has
the roll to herself. Her real name
T ?- ? t>_I? 3 1 :
waii .LiOuise auu, iiatmg culisted
as a marine, she served
throughout the war of 1812 on the
famous frigate Constitution.
"For nearly three years," she
says, "I passed for and performed
the duties of a marine, during
which time I was in three severe
engagements and never absented
myself from my post in time of danger.
I have, like others, of the
ship's crew, freely associated with
mv shipmates both at sea and on
shore.
"And yet, as extraordinary as it
may appear, I have not the most
distant idea that a single soul on
board ever had the slightest suspicion
of my sex. I have thoroughly
studied the memoirs of Miss Deborah
Sampson (who, disguised as
a man, served in the Continental
arrry during the Revolution without
her identity being discovered),
and by strict adherence to the precautionary
means bv which she
was enabled to avoid an exposure of
her sex I also was enabled to conceal
mine."
The Constitution engaged in
three of tfte more important single
ship actions of the nineteenth century,
that with the Guerriere, the
Java and the double action with the
Cvane and Levant.
Speaking of the action with the
Guerriere Miss Baker says: "I was
all this time in the top plying my
faithful musket with the best success
whenever the smoke would permit
me to see a bluejacket of the
enemy. In the heat of the action a
fminpshnt: Ktrnrk and snlintered the
^...J 1
butt of my musket. It was noticed
by oae of my comrades who stood
within a few feet of me, who, patting
me on the shoulder, exc aimed:
"'Never mind it, George! You
have won- laurels sufficient to recommend
you to the pretty girls
when you return to port/ "
Landed Him.
She was a woman stunning;
Be was a man of chink. ,
And when she went a-gunnlng
Her weapon was a wink,
lfore fatal that than ball and t owder,
Though the report Is hardly louder.

TITLES IN DENMARK.
Thar* Ar* Nine Classes of Rank, With
Innumerable Subdivisions.
The Danish classification of rank
is a very elaborate one, built up of
I offices, orders, birth and titles,
| writes J. Brocnner in "Danish Life
In Town and Country." There are
nine classes, which are divided into
as many a3 a dozen subsections, each
I of which may agaih comprise a
score or two of different titles and
I offices, yet there was a complaint in
one of the Danish papers that it was
anything but complete.
Holders of titles have to pay an
annual tax ranging from $44.50 in
the first class to a miserly $3.33 in
! the ninth. There are about a score
of different titles, several of which
j are again divided into "real" and
; "others," the "real" being several
shades better than the "others."
' These titles are always used in
conversation, as, for example, "Will
not the chamberlain have a cigar?"
1 or "Mr. Chamberlain, will you not
have a cigar?" And it requires a
i fairly clear head and a good memory
to give even*body his due in a
large party, especially as some of
them are decorously long, as, for
instance, geheimeconferentsraad.
Then there are ladies, who generally
have "inde" (the English
"ess") added to their husbands'
title or office. A colonel's wife, for
instance, is called oberstinde, and
the wife of the chamberlain to the
king kammerherreindc, and so
forth.
But the subtleties of the additional
titular address in writing
even excel the verbal form. That
f>ersons of the first rank are "excelencies"
is only natural, but gentlemen
of the second class have on
documents addressed to them a
"high well born" prefixed to their
title and name, and those of the
third class a "high and well born."
I much regret that I cannot explain
why the addition of this "and"
should somewhat detract from the
value of the same words.
Gentlemen of the ninth class are
addressed as "well honorable and
well bred," which is, I think, almost
more than they could expect for
their $3.33.
Tho Revolver Won.
Robert Pinkerton once told a
story of his father, the founder of
the detective agency, which illhstrates
the elder Pinkerton's caution.
A noted criminal was detained in
Pinkerton's Chicago office. The
elder Pinkerton left the room and
when he returned took the precaution
of holding a revolver in front
J l
oi mm.
He saw the criminal standing by
the door with a snuffbox he had
Eicked up from Pinkerton's desk in
is hand.
'This is good snuff/' affably remarked
the crook as he took a sniff.
'Tor the eyes or the nose ?"
asked Pinkerton, who knaft that
the crook had intended to blind
him in an effort to escape.
"Well," remarked the criminal,
I'm sorry to say that the nose gets
it this time."
An Opportunist.
Some facility in trimming sails to
the passing breeze was very useful
to the newspapers of a hundred
years ago. This is how one of the
Paris papers announced the arrival
and advance of Napoleon after his
escape from Elba: "The Corsican
brigand has landed at Cannes;" the
next day, 'The rash usurper has
been received at Grenoble." Then
the tone changed: "General BonaSarte
has entered Lyons;" a few
ays after, "Napoleon is at Fontainebleau,"
and finally, "His majesty
the emperor alighted this evening
at his palace of the Tuileries."
Mr. C. F. Warwick recalls the incident
in "Napoleon and the End of
the French Revolution."
Friendly Counsel.
Harrison S. Morris, the Philadelphia
poet, listened at the Franklin
inn one evening to the rather offensive
boasting of a rich young
amateur actor.
"By the way, Mr. Morris," the
amateur finally said, "the Browning
ociety is going to put on 'The Blot
on the Escutcheon/ and they want
me to take par; in it. Now, you
know my style. You've seen me act
in Germantown. What part do you
think would suit me best?"
"The 'blot,' ny boy," said Mr.
Morris, with his quick, nervous
laugh. "Go in, bv all means, for
the 'blot.'"?Washington Post.
His Bluff Quickly Called.
"I want you to understand," he
said, "that I'm the master in this
house."
"All right," she replied. "Go out
and tell the cook that we're going
to have company all next week."
Then he put on his hat and went
sway, making sarcastic remarks
about people who were afraid to say
^heir souls were their own.?Chijago
