Birth-day Celebration.
Mr J A Scott celebrated his fiftyninth
birthday Wednesday of last
week. A very palatable dinner was
prepared for the occasion by Mrs
Scott and her daughters. Later in
the afternoon delicious refreshments
consisting of cream and cake were
served. Among those present were:
Mesdames L J Steele, E C Koger, J
B Steele and children.- The only out-1
of-town guest was Mr Scott's cousin,
Mr S D McKay of Salters.
All of his children were present
except one son, Dr C M Scott of
Hartsville,who,on account of important
business,was unable to be here.
The day was very much enjoyed by
all. A Guest.

you choose to. Because there

self that keeps you choosing to do
them. You never lif( your hand unless
you choose to. You never get
out of bed in the morning except as |
you choose to. You could lie downj
on the bed this moment and never
move hand or foot again if you chose
to, and your friends, or your town,

take care of you.

"YES, GUILTY, MY FRIEND" J
How a London Paper, by Shrewd ^

by the Times. ,
The newspaper special, although <
always the cutest of the cute, is sometimes
"scored off" by a colleague. J
For instance, Sir W. H. Russell, represented
the Times at O'Connell's 1
trial in Dublin. i
In those days the telegraph was
not, says the London Chronicle, and
as his paper wanted to go one better t
than the Morning Herald, its great
rival, Russell hurried back to London
by special boat and train imme- .
diately the verdict was pronounced, i
As he got out of the cab in Printing <
House square a man in shirt sleeves,
apparently a printer, came up and '
exclaimed: "So glad to see you safe (
over, sir. So they have found him s
guilty?" "Yes, guilty, my friend," J
replied Russell.
The Morning Herald came out ]
with the news of the bare fact as ;
well as the Times. The shirt-sleeved 1
man was a smart representative of
the rival paper. '
' CORRESPONDENT HONORED. 1

, Mention of iron crosses recalls the J
fact that one of the few civilians ever (
decorated with the iron cross was the
late Archibald Forbes, the war cor- *
respondent, who received it for his J
work in the Franco-German war, in
which he represented the Daily \
News. It is almost needless to add, ^
says the Pall Mall Gazette, that iron 1
crosses were not scattered promiscu- j
ously in those days, and that to get ,
one was regarded as a high honor.

THE BABY By
OLIVE BARTON.
Copyright, 1914 by the McClure Newspaper
Syndicate.)
The great singer was spending her
short vacation in an unusual way.
It might be 3aid also that it had been
none of her own choosing. What did
she know of Daby food, or mending
holes in Johnnie's stockings as big as
buckwheat cakes? How did she know
how many days Flossie should wear
the same petticoat?
The whole three were in bed now,
and the great singer relaxed luxuriously.
She knew no one In the
town, so there was little danger of
sailers.
Her thoughts were as busy as the
fingers of the little maid of all work,
now doing dishes audibly in the
kitchen. She was thinking how odd
it was for her to be there at all.
A telegram had been responsible.
Sister Jane and her husband William
bad been called away by t^uble in
William's family. There had been no
one else to ask to look after the children.
She had ntver even seen the
baby!
Steps suddenly sounded on the
little front porch like so many bangs
Dn a bass drum. Tillie, out in the
kitchen, heard and wa3 at the door
before her temporary mistress could
stop her.
"Is this where Miss Farrell Is staying?"
asked a man's voice.
"Joe!" exclaimed Miss Farrell impatiently.
"Will he never learn that
there isn't a bit of use in chasing
after me, wherever I go?"
Joe stamped off the snow noisily
and came inside. He came in big,

seemed full before he got farther than
the doorway. Peggy; In her chair before
the fire, half turned?just enough
for him to see the top-loftical expression.
"Peggy!" he exclaimed delightedly,
coming forward.
"Good evening, Joe," evenly. "You
chose a nice night to come so far.
Won't you sit down?"
Joe sat down on the other side of
the fireplace. "You look awfully
3weet, Peggy. Aren't you glad to see
me?"
"No!" deliberately.
"I?I wouldn't have come?only I
thought of something after?after
we'd been talking the other night"
She didn't answer.
"You see," shifting uDeasily, "if you
would marry me, you could go ahead
with your singing just the same as
aver.. You could sing just as well as
Margaret Farrell Sturtevant, as you
can as Margaret Farrell. Now,
couldn't you? That wouldn't be interfering
with your career, would it?
and, Peggy, you used to care a little
for me!"
She watched the fire a minute, retenting.
"It's hard to be cross with
rou, Joe. You just won't let people,
will you? I'm going to be extra nice

if there ever was one. I can't make

about a house. I love my music
better than anything on earth, and I
:an't give it up."
What she really meant was that the
intoxication of public homage was a
sensation she would not care to reaounce.
"All right, my girl, you're the doctor!"
Joe got up and looked at his
vatch. "I didn't suppose it was much
ase, but I thought I'd make one more
;ry. I won't bother you again, ever.
3ood-night, Peggy, I've Just time for

He was gone! Peggy turned out
:he light and sat watching the fire.
'1 guess I'll get the baby her bottle
ind go to bed," she yawned.
A week passed. Peggy was getting
expert on mending kneeless stockings,
sorting clothes and bathing babies. It
lever seemed to be a bother any more,
rhen one night the baby got sick, very
tick.
The doctor and traiped nurse hastly
summoned,, took it philosophically,
laying there was an equal chance of
ife and death. But Peggy, a poor,
vhite, stricken thing, never leaving
he side of the little crib, thought the
vorld was ending.
Morning brought a change for the
>etter. The baby would live! Pegjy
slipped silently away to her room
ind sat thinking in the cold, wintry
lawn.
Mr. Joseph Sturtevant was just setling
himself for a nice winter's mornng

On account of the fact that all
kinds of paper and materials used
in job printing are higher than ever
before within our experience, we
find it necessary to require cash on
delivery for all job work. We feel
3ure our friends will appreciate the
necessity that compels us to this
course and help us by paying promptly.
On account of poor collections
and falling off in advertising patronage,
we have lost on an average
since January 1,1915, $100 a month.
Printers have to be paid every Saturday
night and our other expenses
have increased until it has never
cost us so much to run the business.
Some cash must come in or we shall
be forced to the wall. tf
