The Greenville journal is response
BILE for the following: Goodness is
profitable in all things. Last summer
there was a revival meeting at Hunts
vile and one of the most regular at
tendants was prominent farmer. At
the same time the meeting was in pro-
gress rainy spell set in and he could
not cultivate his corn. Some ribald
young men in the neighborhood took
occasion to ridicule the old farmer a
little. They posted this notice on the
fence around his cornfield:
"Jesus nv all to heaven is gone.
The weeds are here, but where is the corn 4"
The joke has rather turned on them
for the religious corn raiser sold his
crop in the field the other day for SIS
an acre.

St. Louis Life: 1.-THE Ohio Governor,
Campbell seems to have scored point
by stating that he is willing that ev-
cry man in the State whose wages
have been raised by the Mckinley
Bill shall vote for Mckinley provided
every man whose wages have not been
raised by it, shall vote for him. AS
the Republican cry from the first has
been that the Mckinley Bill would
raise every body's wages, this would
seem to be a fair proposition; but as
Campbell, every time he makes a
speech, calls on any man in the audi
ence who has had his wages raised by
the Mckinley Bill to stand up, and as
nobody rises, it looks a little as if his
proposition was clincher. AT any
rate Mckinley has not yet seen fit to
accept it."

HER ANGELIC COUGH.
BY Means of 1t She Set the Whole Con
grcgat;on Going.

BY Means of 1t She Set the Whole Com
grcgatson Going.
She had one of those sweet, angelic
faces, with great, prayerful gray eyes,
and no one would think there was any
thing of the joker about her. She sat
in her front pew in one of the fashion
able uptown churches, says the New
York Times Her pretty head was
bowed over her prayer book. All was
as quiet as tomb in church, and the
silence seemed to impress her. Sud
denly she looked up and her great gray
eyes quickly surveyed the crowd of 81
lent worshipers. Then just the faint
est suggestion of laugh crept into her
gray eyes, and She coughed two or
three cute little coughs. Then the
head went down over the prayer book
again and the smile on her face broad
ened as her neighbor coughed, and her
neighbor's neighbor coughed, and the
cough was taken up here and there and
everywhere until the once silent taber-
nacle had the sounds peculiar to the
consumptivc ward in big hospital.
As the sweet young lady with the big
eyes came out of church she was heard
to say to her escort:
Now, you see that coughing in
church is largely a matter of haHt.
One person coughs, and the rest Of the
congregation follow suit. know it
was very wicked of me, but when
looked up and noticed how silent every
body was l had to try the experiment
of seeing how many people would cough
If I did 1t was such fun"

ALBERT EDWARD.



II is not generally known that this
prince of Wales breach Of hospitality
in playing baccarat in defiance of the
express wishes of his host at Tranby
Croft was by no means his first offense
against the laws of hospitality and also
of good taste, says the New York Re-
ecrder. He acted in very much the
same fashion some years ago at Good
wood, the country seat of the duke of
Richmond. Ever since his marriage
the prince of Wales has been in the
habit of visiting the duke during the
annual GoOdvood races, with the prin-
cess and a large party of royal guests.
The duke OF Richmond, who is now
an old man. is very independent of
mind and possesses great force of
character. His horror for gambling is
well known. and when, few years
ago, the princes taste for baccarat be-
came the talk of London, the duke, on
the occasion of the heir apparent's next
visit, told him of his aversion to games
of hazard. and exacted pledge from
him that under no circumstances should
baccarat be played during his stay.
The duke makes an invarinble rule of
retiring every night punctually at ten
o'clock, no matter who is present, and,
confiding in the promise of the prince,
although il had been somewhat reluct-
antly given, the old peer went quietly
to bed at his usual time. On the third
day Of the races, however, the duke,
who had as usual hidden his royal
guests good night at ten o'clock, had
occasion to come downstairs again
about an hour later.
His horror and Indignation may be
better understood than described at
finding the whole royal party seated
around Il table in the library and play
ing baccarat for very high stakes, with
the prince OF Wales acting as banker!
So great was the dukes wrath that he
openly protested to the prince against
the way in which his confidence had
been betrayed, the latter presenting but
a sorry spectacle during this algarade,
for he could find no good excuse for his
extraordinary behavior.
The card party was broken up in
great confusion, and it was never re-
sumed during that or any of the subse-
quent visits at Goodwood.

SEEING THINGS GROW.
The Rapidity with Which 1.-THE Gladiolu
Springs Into Life.

The Rapidity with Which 1.-THE Gladiolus
Springs Into Life.
Did you ever actually see things growe
In the spring and summer days you
often see tree with buds just ready to
explode like popcorn, and, like the corn,
change suddenly to masses of fluffy
white. You walk by it and it is still
corn. When you return it has popped.
But did you actually ever see the explo-
sion, or better yet, see the growth when
there was no alarm to call your atten-
ton to the change? asks the New York
Tribune. Well, lie down some day be-
side gladiolus bed after reccI rain
and sunshine have made thin crust
over the earth, and when the green spears
are just beginning to push through
it. You will see some cracks in the
crust, and by and by little trapdoor
will begin to lift, as though some small
Titan were struggling underneath.
Look sharply now, for if you do not you
may turn your wandering eyes back to
find the green laborcr pushing at the
door without you having seen him
come. Soon he will throw back the
cover on it's hinges and stand there for
the first time in the sunlight an inch
above the ground All this may be
done even in an hour. Few things grow
faster than the gladiolus.

flags in existence is in the possession Of
the city troop of that city. The old flag
is spread between two large pieces of

were it removed from this case it would
fall to pieces. In design it is somewhat
