CAPTAIN MARTIN SCOTT.-One of the
most widely-known men of any time
his name being embalmed in the heart
of an imperishable anecdotes Capt
Martin Scott. And yet but little is
known of his life He is the hero of
the "coon story" The tradition runs
that this story first appeared in coun-
try paper of New York State in about
1916. 1t was in substance as follows:
Captain Scott and party of friends
were out hunting. They scattered
through the woods, each hunting separ-
ately. One of the party at length came
upon a raccoon that was sitting in one
of the highest branches of very tall tree.
He fired at him and missed. One by
one the rest of the party came up and
fired, each one missing the too remote
coon. At length Captain Scott arrived
and was in the act of pulling trigger
when the coon looked round the limb
and said "Who are you?" "Pm Scott. "
"What Scott ?" "Why Captain Scott. "

They amount to nothing, in the sense

courtesy.
A woman who can maintain her in
dlviduality, person who can make a
distinct impression on Washington life,
IS remarkable person. For instance,
everybody says the system of calls and
invitations is villainous. Yet every day
long lines of carriages before the doors
OF foreign Ministers and Cabinet off
GERS show how the swarm of buzzards
hover around. Everybody, good and
bad, can go unbidden into these houses.
Everyone who calls on the public men
has in time an invitation to a reception.
10 these places people of every shade
OF character throng. There is crowd
like the throng about the gate of

champagne, and punch, and HOLSTERS.

and sore throats.

fort do they afford. No exhibition of
culture or taste.

everybody down to the same level. 1t

mean by lowering that people not in

WORD OF ADVICE TO THE "TEARFUL"
AUTHOR OF "sOcIETY"
'Tis true that "SociabIes' are sometimes held
BY those who term themselves the elite:
But when it comes to joining them,
can't agree 'twOuld be treat.
AS for your diamonds made of paste.
Where would their lustre be,
When placed beside such solitaires,
And-in such company?
L wonder you ask the reason wby
You could not be admitted
With all their bar-rsters and iudpes stand
They would hate to be outwitted.
The former, you say, are men of note (1
And entitled to Society"
when all they strive to gain in life,
Is abundant nOtoriety.
The very same waters which cover the whale.
Hold minnOw, such as we,
But even the "whale' is not the best fish,
That ever is caught in the sea.
Such arguments may well have weight.
Though for myself should thankful be,
Ii the mighty power which we call "Fate,"
Decreed me other Society"
For those who wish to enjoy this treat (?)
There is word of hope still given.
Let them go seek, as the Peri did,
And bring the gift most dear to heaven.
The Peri's reward was greater far
Than any we mOrtals might win,
But, thank heaven, there is world above.
Where all may be welcomed in.

DOING UP MEMS LINEN.

Some time ago my husband used to
complain that his linen collars did not
set nicely in front There was always
fullness which, in the case of standing
collars was particularly trying to man
who felt good deal of pride in the
dressing of his neck, as it spoils the eff
feet of his cravat, and often left a gap
for the display of either the collarband
OF the shirt or half-inch of bare skin.
While talking with practical shirt-mak
er one day, he mentioned hisannoyance,
and inquired if there was any means of
relieving it. eyes, " answered the man,
"the fault lies with your laundress.-
While doing up yourcollars she stretches
them the wrong way. Damp linen is
very pliable, and a good pull will alter
a tourteen-inch into fifteen-inch collar
in the twinkling of an eye She ought
to stretch them croSSwiSe and not length
wise. Then, in Strengthening out your
Shlrt-bosomS she makes another mistake
wise, particularly in the nelghborhood
of the neck. A lengthwise pull draws
the front of the backband up somewhere
directly under your chin, where it was
never meant to go, and of course that
spoils the set of your collar. With the
front of your neckband an inch too
high, and your collar an inch too long,
you have a most undesirable combina
ton"
The speaker is right. As soon as my
husband ordered the necessary changes
to be made in the methods of our laund
ry a wonderful difference manifested it
self in the appearance of that most i'm
portant part of his clad anatomy, his
neck. Let me commend the shirtmak
er's hint to other distressed men.-N

MR.. HARPIN -oIGGS-

.MR HARPIN I'IGGS-
On last Saturday about p. M,
the quictncss Of our Town was again
disturbed by the, alarm of fire and a
tide of excited citizens was rushin :
toward the Rail Road. As usual ON
such occhsi i'ns conflicting rumors
served only to increase the confusion
until it was ascer,aincd positively
that Mr. Riggs Mill on the Five
Notch Road was on fire. From the
best information gatherei from the
hands at work, it was conclu led that
the fire originated from matches in
the cotton which was being ginued n,
tn G time. The shed, gin, and much
of the machinery were desti Dyed be.
fore the fire companies reached the
scene. We learn there was no nsur-
ance OH the property.
This is the third or fourth time
Mr.. Riggs has been heavy sufferer
from fire, yet his indomitable spirit of
enterprise is ever found equal to the
emergency. We trust another, and
better mill will soon rise up from
the ashes Of the old one to prove that
noble spirit cannot be kept down
even by such series Of misfortunes.
Mr.. Riggs has the sympathies of the
entire community with him. Could
not some appliance be attached to
an engine by which volumn Of
steam might be thrown into lint
room in cases Of a fire from such
causcs? Itwould pay.
