Members of < ongreas from South

the very life dosged out of them In
con**quence of the hordes of appli?

Months ago. a bed the census bill
nas first taken tip for discussion by
congress, prospective applicants all
over the country thought It a good
time to have their names annexed to
the government pay rool. Some of
them lost little time In acquainting
their respective congressmen with
this feet, and the result la that some
of the members are at their wit's
sad to know how to stavs off more
applleanta
The Democrat* throughout ths
country hat* been told that they are
to have fair consideration In the se?
lection of supervisors, and that If a
certain district 1* represented In con
by a Republican, a supervisor
that faith will be appointed, and
the apposite If the district hap
to be represented by a Demo?
crat. That doe* not seem to be a
good plan, however, for not a few
itors have betn asking whether
or not they are to be ellmlnatd In the
selection of these officials. Appar?
ently it Is ons tlms when ths mem?
bers of the lowei house have It all
their way.
Representative Livingstone. of
Georgia, ths ranking Democrat on
tha house spprop rlattons committee,
stated that If the Democrats got any
good from ths distribution of
a m ths compiling of ths next
ceam they must "fight for It". In
fact he said that he had already ad?
vised hi* OeorgU constituent* to
"nght for it" before the president If
they were In earnest In wanting these
place*, because that would probably
he the only way they could land them.
Another Southern congressman?
Adam son. of Georgia, said that he
didn't think the Democrats would
have much of a show; In fact that it
would be no more reasonable to ex?
pect tonald ?ratlon of the president In
that matter than It would be to ask
htm to Ignore Republican* and ap?
point Democrat* for other offices.
Supervisors will receive $1.500
straight snlury, and. In addition, will
be paid at t*e rate of II for each one
thousand el' population In their re?
spective districts. The work will not
plsWer a very long period of time, and
a* ths actual labor of counting the
p. o and securing ether data will
devolve upon the enumersiora. It will
be a comparatively easy task for the
supervisors. The worst worried men
aow are the congressmer. who are
trying to satisfy their hunirry constit?

Death in Manning.
Manning, July 8.?With deepest re?
gret the entire community learned of
the death of the 12 month old Infant
daughter. Mettle, of Mr. and Mrs. T.
F. Coffey. The funeral services oc?
curred this morning at 10 o'clock at
the Manning Cemetery. There was a
large concourse of sympathizing
friends, who expressed their sincere
sorrow in the great bereavement sus?
tained by this young couple. In a
few years, this poor mother, like
Rachel. Is weeping for her children,
having lost three little ones. Mrs.
Coffey was the formerly Miss Blanche
Wells, so much beloved for hsr lov?
able and noble qualities.
Juliet Got the light.
At a smart seaport town a star
actress of the third magnltuds ap?
peared as Juliet ,
"I cannot do Justice to myself," she
said to the manager, "If I do not
have a limelight thrown on me when
I appear at the balcony."
"We ain't go no limelight, miss,
but I think wt could get you a
a ship's blue light," replied the oblig?
ing manager, and to this the lady
agreed.
The lad who went to the shop to
buy the blue light brought back a
signal rocket, which was given to
him by mistake. The prompter took
the rocket in good faith.
Romeo?He Jests at scars who
never felt a wound.
(Juliet appears. Prompter lights
a match.)
"But, soft! What light through
yonder window breaks?"
(This was the match lighting the
fuse.) I
"Arise, fair sun!"
The sun, or rather the rocket, did
rise, with a terrific hiss. Juliet was
knocked off the balcony, the fly bor?
der.! were set on fire, and the theatre
was filled with a sulphurous smoke,
while the audience, which was for?
tunately a small one, made a stam?
pede to the doors.
Since then "Romeo and Juliet" has
always been looked upon in that
town as a dramatic work that could
not be witnessed without personal
danger.?London Express.
How's This for Mud?
Of all the yarns that ever came
down the line regarding deep mud.
the following should be entitled to
the blue ribbon. It happened In the
place where mud originated.
A man was walking along the
roadside one summer day and noticed
a fairly good looking ha! out in the
tiuiU. Reaching out with his cane, he
gave It a cut and was started to hear
a voice exclaim: "Here, what, the
duce are you doing?"
Then he made the astonishing dis?
covery that the owner of the head?
piece was under the hat, up to his
ears In mud.
"Great heavens!" exclaimed the
man who had hit the hat. "Is that
mud as deep as that?"
"Deep?" cried the victim. "Why,
man alive, I'm standing on a load of
hay!'?Llpplncott's.
Jnst a Few Figures.
The records show that out of sev?
enty-nine cases heard before thf Su?
preme Court of California from 1896
to 1907, in which the Southern Pa?

tlfty-seven were decided In favor of
that company, almost .four to one.

In the morning would be very lame

at China's drug store and can truth?

relief. For some time I have been

What the Jury I 'ound.
Some years ago the body of a well
dressed man was found In a field on
the outskirits of an English town.
There were no marks of violence, and
it was doubtful whether death had
occurred from natural causes or if
the individual had committed suicide.
In due course the body was identified,
and a gentleman who had been ac?
quainted with the deceased was call?
ed upon to give evidence at the In?
quest. Among other things, he stated
that he had always considererd him
to be a man of marked idiosyncrasies
and his brain was continually excited
by his Irresistable fondness for chi?
meras of various kinds. The jury was
evidently satisfied with his statement
and immediately brought in a ver?
dict that "death was caused by idio?
syncrasies forming on the brain in
consequence of excessive Indulgence
In chimeras," adding a rider that "It
should be a warning to people to re
fraln from that and other Intoxicat?
ing beverages."
Ad Apt Answer.
The dangers associated with the
fishing Industry on the Newfoundland
banks are many and grave. Fore?
most among them Is thai the dories
may be upset while Ashing, which in?
volves almost inevitable less of their
occupations. Callous captains, se?
cure themselves from the necessity of
going, frequently order their men out
when the weather does not warrant
It, and disastrous are the results. One
of these brutal skippers was aptly an
swered once by a bank man of whose
courage or capacity thjere was no
question.
"Out with you!" shouted the cap?
tain. "Hurry up there! It's a fishing
day!"
"Oh, no, skipper!" replied the dory
man. "It's too stormy today for a
boat to fish."
"Nonsense, man!" rejoined the
skipper. "If my old grandmother
was here today she'd get her dory
out." V
"Then, skipper," said the man, "if
her grandson will come out with me
now I'll haul my trawl."
It Is needless to say no dories were
launched from the schooner on that
date.?Philadelphia Ledger.

Don't Need a Fortune.
The well diessed woman is not the
?ne who spends the most on her
Lothes, but she who knows her own
?ype. There is a great art In only
.vearing u hat Is becoming. This \?
the secret of many a woman's beauty
as well ai her reputation for smari
dressing.
The woman who studies her type
knows better than to follow fashion
slavishly. Not long ago a mothei
nd daughter were at the same din?
ner. The former Is a noted beauty
while of the daughter is usually heard
What a pity she did not inherit hci
mother's looks!" On this occaslor
:he woman had made herself almosi
ugly by her adoption of the lates
coiffure and inartistic use of th*
ouge brush; while the girl, who was
^lever enough to dress to her type
seemed a beauty despite irregulai
features.
Remember that clothes count quit*
M much as features and coloring in
making a beautiful woman, and sh<
who does not choose clothes to suit
her special style will fall short of her
full measure of good looks.
Thus a girl with a piquant face
ond bright, young expression may
venture to wear a sailor hat and Pe
t'?r Pan collar though far past school
(tri age; but a woman of rugged fea?
tures and sallow colorings will look
ridiculous In this distinctly youthful
dress.
For a woman with a receding chin
and dull, small eyes it is folly to
adopt a severely simple style of dress
in hope to be thought intellectual.
What she needs is fluffiness, some
thing to soften her face and conceal
her defects. To brush the hair back
plainly and wear mannish collars
only makes her look ugly, not clever.
Another type which should affect
extreme simplicity of dressing is the
girl with naturally high coloring,
bright yellow or certain tints of red
hair, or with that somewhat unusual
combination brown eyes and dark
Inches with golden hair. Conspicuous
clothes while they may not be unbe?
coming, will ruin her look of refine?
ment.?New Haven Register.
