"I've made a new resolution," said the bookkeeper, bitterly, as h^ added a column of figures for the slxtfe_tlme and prepared to add It a seventh time, all unconsciously. "I have resolved never to feel sorry for anything I do or say! Repentance and contrition and such things are good In theory, but they don't get you anything!" "You may Imagine that you're weeping on my shoulder," said the little stenographer, comfortably. "Go on and tell me about It." "It was last Sunday," began the bookkeeper, slamming the ledger shut and tearing with vicious force his trial balance sheet. "My sister had Invited a young woman friend of hers from the country to her house for the week end and she asked me to heln her out. Of course, I could tell from the way my sister talked that this friend of hers was no prize article, and as Sunday- comes only once a week I hated like fury to give It up to charity. But I did." "How charitable!" murmured the little stenographer. The bookkeeper went on: "Well, It developed that this country person not only was not good to look at, but "her feelings were as sensitive aa?as all get out! We started right In Saturday night, she and I, falling out and making up again. Honestly, I didn't open my mouth but that I had to tell her the next minute that I was sorry. Tou can Imagine that I learned to keep pretty mum. "My sister and her visitor kept on talking, though, and then we played cards for a while, and, aside from our losing every game?for our country guest was my partner, of course, and ] my sister played with my kid brother?and my having to bear the brunt of every wrong play and to Insist that I hadn't meant to offend her and that I never dreamed of Intimating that she didn't know the game?though Bhe hardly knew a jack from a queen ?the evening passed off pretty well. "She lookeri 1 mo vonr nnvlw ever, when she said good night, and ] she said that she hoped I wasn't of- t fended with her and that she knew her feelings were easily hurt, and as she never liked to go to bed without' ' every one being forgiven and forgiving, she wanted to make sure that ' we were good friends. "Of course. I had to assure her I that everything was all right between < us. And, oh! the relief I felt when I Anally got my door closed and think of eight good hours alone, without a feeling to hurt and with not a pardon to beg! "Well, In the morning we gof ready for church. We ate breakfast in fairly good temper and almost at peace. However, this visitor nearly nrUil 1 ? ? * " Vt ivu nuvil * icaocu ucr ttDOUl BGII* Ing ancient eggs to the city people? her father's a farmer?bo I decided that my Jokes were misplaced and pretty bad, anyway. So I adopted tho policy of silence. "I didn't say a word to her all the way to church. My sister walked I back of us with the rest of the famUy, so the visitor and I had the advance guard all to ourselves. "I was worried, too, on account of ?well, you know, Mlsa Bruce sometimes "Oh, well, anyway, the visitor and 1 were getting on famously, as I thought, when I suddenly beard a little sob. "There I was, on Sunday morning, bound for church and passing every one I knew and In danger of running Into Miss Bruce at any minute?and with a sobbing young woman on my hands! I should have cut and run? but I was sorry for her. I'm sorry for all weak-minded people, women especially. "I had to break my resolution ' about talking to her, so I asked, 'What's the matter?* as soothingly ss I could. "My question must have been more soothing than I had Intended, for she grabbed me by the arm and she'd have fallen Into my arms if I hadn't held her. "'Oh!* she exclaimed. 'You're angry with me! How can I go to church with some one angry with aie?* "And there, right out loud, as If I had been accusing her of all sorts of things, she begged me to forgive her! "8ay, It was the limit! I tried to straighten her up and I told her to behave in public, and Just as I was doing my noblest and she was weeping her hardest and leaning all over me along came Miss Bruce!" The bookkeeper slgher disconsolately. "What did von dn than?" ? little stenographer, deeply Interested. "Nothing! I Just gave that tearstained graven Image a shove and told her to go to blazes! But Miss Bruce had gone past by that time!" He Jerked the ledger open arid began adding up the column of figures fqy the eighth time. King Qeorge In Peril.

A few years ago an Irish member suggested to John Burns that the king, then prince of Wales, should be asked to smoke a cigar of Irish tobacco. "No," said Mr. Burns.

Springfield, June 27.?A pretty church marriage was solemnized here Thursday morning in the marriage of Miss Mattie Columbus Tarrant, the daughter of Rev. R. B. Tarrant, to Rev. Daniel Durban Jones, of Easley. S. C. The chancel of the church was tastily decorated with a sky blue back ground, entwined with deep green vines. Overtures^ solos and music appropriate to the occasion was rendered by Miss Isabelle Free, Misses Attie and Nettie Phillips, Prof. Clarence Kreps, Mr. L. T. Covington, Mrs. S. H. Booth, Misses Nena and Marguerite Odom, Mrs. H. A. Jumper, MrsDr. Wyatt Tarrant and Miss Marie Cullen. Rev, S. H. Booth of the Methodist church performed the solemn ceremony in an impressive manner. The bride was attended by her brother, Dr. J. Wyatt Tarrant, of Statesburg, while the groom was attended by his brother, Mr. Jones, of Easley. The bride and groom were preceded by Mrs. Robbie Tarrant, of Aiken, a sister in law, and Miss Mary Duncan Tarrant, a sister. Messrs. S. W. Dibble, Thurston Bolanad, Norman Boyleston and Wyatt Boyleston acted as ushers. Mis3 Tarrant was one of the popular young ladies of the town and had successfully taught in the public schools of the state and Vncrh srhonl of this nlace for sev eral years past. The groom is one of the prominent young Methodist preachers of the South Carolina conference, and stands high in his denomination. Immediately after the ceremony the happy couple caught the northbound train on the Southern railway for Washington, New York and other points. LOSS OF THE MILITIA FUND(Newberry Observer.) One of the sensations of the week in this state is the withdrawal by the war department of the appropriations to the aid of the South Carolina militia, the story of which is told in other columns of this issue. This appropriation amounted to about $70,000 a year? enough to have kept the state militia in first class condition. The militia is subject to what is known as the "Dick law," passed by congress several years ago. This law provides for putting the state militia on somewhat the same basis as 'the regular army, subject to inspection by the war department and to be called into service should occasion arise. No state was compelled to accept this "Dick law," but most of them did?probably a majority, maybe all. Accepting the law, of course the state and its militia were bound to abide by its provisions, for the federal government could not justly be expected to pay out $70,000 a year to the militia of a state that did not come up to the requirements laid down; and because the South Carolina militia did not, and the governor of the state publicly declared his opposition to the efforts of the war department to bring the militia up to the standard, the appropriation has been withdrawn?that being the only alternative. The governor says he is glad. He says he was always opposed to the "Dick law." There was opposition to this state's adopting the "Dick" law; but it did so some six or seven years ago, and having adopted it, and having accepted the federal appropriations under it, the only right course was to comply with its requirements, as other states are said to be doing. The State of South Carolina can still keep up its militia organization if she wishes to pay for it? some $70,000, or something like that, in addition to the usual appropriation of $12,000 or $16,000. The legislature at its last session made an appropriation, nearly all of which went to buying a tract of land, with a "rifle range" on it,* in the county of Lexington. It has been somewhat difficult to keep up a respectable state militia with the $70,000 appropriation from Washington. How it will be since that appropriation has been withdrawn remains to be seen. The talk of "Yankee domination" is the baldest rot?here 50 years after the war; especially so since the "Dick law" is not "Yankee" nor "Confederate" law, nor sectional law of any kind, but the law adopted by the representatives in congress of all the states in the union, on equal footing. Look at it as you please, the state of South Carolina has been deprived of $70,000 a year?and the governor of the state claims credit for it. Most men who live in a city have a hard time proving to their country acquaintances that they are strictly honest.?Atlanta Journal.
