Two China Stories.

Arthur NIcEwcn, a brilliant news.
paper man Of San Francisco, once took
it into his head to teach class of Chi
nese boys the English We use. These
boys were sons and nephews Of i'm
mensely rich silk and tea merchants,
and among them was one who was de-
cidedly unrulv. McEwen went to the
boys uncle and undertook to explain in
8 @pigeon-English" the trouble he was
having will, the lad. Said he: "Your
nephee, he no lilce studce. He belly
badec boyee. know notice whatee I
do with he."
The old Clinaman, who spoke as good
English as MIcEwen could, somewhat
astonished the journalist by saying:
why don't you take good big birch
and give the young scamp thorough
dressing with that? Try it a few times,
and guess he'll come out all right.
Mac acted on the suggestion, aud sue
ceeded in Christianizing the young
heathen quite rapidly.
OF u piece is the story about Dennis
Rearney and Chinese merchant. Such
men ,ss the sand-lot agitator never think
of Chinese other than as coolies. They
don't know that highcaste Cinnamon are
frequently polished and accomplished
gentlemen, and the idea of their speak
ing respectable English never suggests
itself. On one occasion the famous
leader of the San Francisco sans cst-
lottes approached an old Chinese gen
tlcman, who spoke better English than
Kearney will ever learn, and who, more.

Our Place I'm the Picture.

The Manufacturers Record, speak
ing Of the energy and enterprise now
displaying itself in the sold" cities of
the South, gays:
"The smaller towns are showing
scarcely less progress. All through
the South, and notcdly so in tho Caro-
linas, the small towns are displaying a
degree OF energy that would astonish
The people who imagine that tho South
lacks enterprise"
Many South Carolinians reading of
the magic growth of such cities as
Birmingham, Admission, Chattanooga,
and others, and tho great. energy being
displayed throughout the South, and
seeing no abnormal growth of cities
or enterprises in their own State, have
naturally asked what place does South
Carolina hold in the picture?
Tho question is conclusivcly an.
swcred in the Record. 1t has live,
active correspondents in every place
of Importance in the State who weekly
report to it the commencement or
completion OF any enterprise which
will tend to increase the general pros
perity. Being in such n favorable po-
sition to view the whole industrial
horizon, its words carry great weight.
Aside from the testimony of tho
Record as to Carolina towns, any ono
in position to rcad tho papers print
cd in this State, is compelled TO noto
the same cheering state. of affairs.
AS tho Record says, there is no
boom, in the usual Specification of that
term, but solid, steady advance.
Everywhere the evidences Of this ac-
tivity are seen, and with favorable
crops this year rot only will those cn-
terpriscs already established flourish
with prosperity, but those already
contemplated and to be inauguratcd
in tho future will be moro certain of q
speedy completion. The prospect in
South Carolina is bright indeed.

They Paid for their Little Joke.

Line who is said to be little super
stitious. He feels sad if he fails TO look
at the new moon over his right shoul.
der. and always makes a cross mark
in his path when he has to turn back
for something that he has forgotten.
1t is said that he will travel mile out
of his way to avoid graveyard, and
carries the left hind foot Of a rabbit in
his pistol pocket. Some Of the con.
ductors on the line attempted to play
u joke on this engineer . few days ago.
They hired coffin from Mr.. Emory,
dealer at Weldon, and placed it in
the room at the hotel occupied by the
engineer on his arrival. 1t was mid
night when his train came in, and the
tired engineer retired to his apartment.
As he entered his room he stumbled
over the coffin ana came near falling,
but striking match he saw the ob.
stacle and OWNED the purpose of the
jokers. He at once returned to the
yard of the hotel, where he secured a
billet of wood, and ascending to his
room deliberately smashed the coffin
to splinters. The next morning he
left Weldon, and his disappointed tor.
mentors repaired to his room. When
they saw the wrecked coffin they
heaved a sigh of disappointment and
chagrin, but gathered up the fragments
and sent them to Mr.. Emory, wuen the
latter returned bill for SIG, which
the conductors had to pay.

What the Ghost Said.

Ghosts seem to have play ed an i'm
portant part in some of the early trials
of this state. In 1901 a man named
Joseph Inman had preliminary trial
at Eddington for murder. He aud
one Oliver Homes. both residents of
Orone, had a quarrel and soon after it
was discovered that Homes was
missing. One of the most i'm
portant witnesses against fnman was
his own son William, who swore he
saw his father strike Homes. The
Bangor Historical Magazine has a
piece of testimony of this William In
man as follows:
~, " iiiism Inman, being at a place called
Afash'S island on Penobsoot river tn = house OF
u pint OF rum and told me II would fetch
some water should have some grog to drink
with him. ! took a pail In my hand and
stepped out towards the water aud something
appeared before me but went on and look
ing abont il seemed to be a ghost ] dipped
some water and turned about to 80 back. II
rose right up before me and seemed to GO
backward. 1t spoke to me aud said you may
now know what you wanted 10 know. Your
father was the very man that killed me, and
walked away and this am willing TO take my
oath of"
Notwithstanding this convincing
piece of testimony signed by William
Inman's mark, and the fact that Inman
was confined in Pownalboro Jail to
answer to the charge of murder. the
case never come to trial-for the
reason that one day Homes appeared at
Orono, having seen in paper an ac-
count of 1nman's arrest, to "show
people that he was not dead. "-Le1is-
