What a Boy VIII do:

An exchange says q boy will tramp
247 miles in one day on rabbit hunt
and be Timber in the evening; when if
you ask him to go across the street and
borrow Jones' two inch auger he is as
stiff as a meat block. Of course he will.
And he will 60 in swimming all day and
stay in the water three hours at a time,
and splash and dive and paddle and
puff, and next morning he will feel that
an unmeasured insult has been offered
him when he is told by his mother to
wash his face carefully so ss not TO leave
the score of ebb and flow so plain to be
seen under his gills. And he'll wander
around a dry creek bed all the afternoon
piling up q pebble fort, and nearly die
when his big sister wants him to please
pick up basket of chips for the parlor
stove. And he'll spend the biggest part
of the day trying to corner stray mule
or bald backed horse for ride, and feel
that all life's charms have fled when he
comes to drive the COWS home. And he'll
turn ten-acre lot upside down for ten
inches of angle worms, and wish for g
voiceless tomb when the garden demands
his attention. But all the same when you
want a friend who will stand by you in
in all kinds of weather, enlist one of those
same boys.-HaUEeye.

A Born Kicker.

Sometime ago passed up a street in
the beautiful city Of w, Ga, and
SAW "a sight. Three stalwart sons Of
Ham we're milking COW. l was in
terested at the modus operandi. First
and foremost a strong rope around the
COWS horns firmly fastened her to the
studding of the barn; another rope
equally strong looped around her hind
leg above the hock lifted that member
from the ground, drewit out, and was
tied to the raftsr of the barn, holding the
leg clean off the ground. Moreover, she
was blindfolded and a guano sack of
earth laid across her back to "force her
10 give down the milk" I stopped and
"gazed and wondered much;;" and said,
s'Boys, what for you 30 much tie and
hamper the poor cow?" A chorus Of
voices replied, Were eerbleeged ter do
it, for she am natul born kicker" "But
fhow;muc milk does she give Z" bout
three gallins if you can g.. it outen her."
was the reply. Thereon I moralized-
IA Born Kicker" Oh, Ive seen them
in churches, and they had to be roped
and withed and blindfolded if you got
any yield of work or money or work out
of them. They kick at the organ, or at
the pastor, or at his vacation, or at the
deacon, or the Sunday School litera-
ture, or at somethiug-it little matters
what. They are "born kickers," and
that is the size of it. Just here the
Episcopal prayer book comes 10 finely,

Kitchen Work o Proud Occupation.

Kitchening seems to be the only spe-
cies of work that no one need blush for,
and, after all, does not hunger justify
the means? In the midst of thas period
of the French revolution known as the
reign of terror, did not the ex-Capucine
monk, Chabot ian expert in the science
of good living) invent the "omelette
trufee aux pointes d'asperges," and also
"a Ia puree de pintades ?" Did you know
that it was the elector of Bavaria that
we owe the "bavaroise," which was pre-
pared and made under his own eyes for
the first time at the Cafe Procope?
Modern history also offers noble ex-
amples to our admiration. The Empress
Elizabeth, of Austria, that accomplished
horsewoman, that sovereign offs court
where aristocratic prejudices are of the
strongest kind, glories in her talent as
a pastry cook. Her daughter, the Arch
duchess Valeria, boasts of having pene-
trated all the secrets of the ancient aud
modern cuisine. Queen Victoria is very
fond of making omelets, and it seems
she has several recipes. Her daughter
in-law, the Princess of Wales, excels in
prer ring tea and buttered toast.-Paris

Fitness the Test for Office,

1t was our pleasure to attend the cam
paign meeting at Pickens last Wednes-
day, and in addition to the candidates for
State officers we heard the discussion
between the Congressional candidates,
the Hon. George ] Johnstone, of Newberry,
the present incumbent, and Mr.. A. C..
Latimer, Of Anderson. At least 90 per
cent of the crowd wero ior Mr.. John"
stone. This is as it should be.
While 1lr. Latimer is q very clever
gentleman and would make good Rep
resentative in the State Legislature he
lacks the ability, the culture and expert
ence to make an efficient Congressman.
There is no way to compare the two men
except to contrast them. Mr.. Latimer is
no speaker, while Mr.. Johnstone is one
of the most powerful debators on the
continent. Mr.. Latimer was never
member of any legislative assembly,
while Mr.. Johnstone served eight years
in the General Assembly of tnis State
and one term in Congress Mr.. Latimer
lacks the capacity to cope with such men
as Tom Reed, Bill Mckinley, and other
robber tariff and force bill advocates,
while Mr.. Johnstone can vanquish them
in debate So there is no reason why Mr..
Latimer should displace Mr.. Johnstone,
unless it might be claimed that he is a
Farmers Movement man, but there is
nothing in that, since it is we'll known
that Mr.. Johnstone is standing on that
platform with both feet
The people of the old Sd district, COM
prising as it does the birthplace Of John
C. Calhoun, Judge Whitner, Governor

unwisely as to refuse to return the Hon
George Johnstone to Congress-, and put

Adding Insult to Injury.

"Talk about adding insult to injury"
said Luvrum, as, with the aid of q heavy
cane he hobbled to his favorite seat in
the Rounders' club the other afternoon,
"Something happened to me last night
that capped the climax in that direction

some friends of mine from out Of town
last evening. They we're old college
chums, you know, aud ss we had not
met for years, We fingered long over the
table, and the loving cup was passed
steadily around until my friends had to
leave for a midnight train. It was very
hot night, and the wine had more than
usual effect upon me. The result WAS

is my custom on such rare occasions,
I turned my feet Turkish bathward. I
vent down into the hot room. A strong
desire came upon me to jump into the
big cold plunge there without waiting
for the usual acrubbing by the attendant.
It had been my habit to forego the stairs
leading down into the plunge, and to
simply get up on the marble railing and
fall off backward into the cooling waters.
SO up on the marble railing I stepped
and threw myself off. There was not
solitary drop of water in that plunge.
The attendants had emptied it for the
purpose of cleaning it. Down I went,
full six feet, and landed squarely upon
my back in the marble bottom. No, L

skull, though it'd wonder that did
not. So much for the injury. Now, let
me tell you about the insult. Az lay

it again I would be put out! Wonder

do you remember when ne were coming
from st. Albans to live here that I want
ed to 20 on the engine and ride with the
engineer?"
His mother assured him that she
remembered the circumstances very
we'll.
''Then," continued Allie, "you allowed
me to ride on the engine, where l was to
stay till you or the conductor came after
me. When about ready to start from the
station, when I frat got on the engine,
the engineer knelt down just little Bit,
and then got and started his locomo-
tive.
II asked him many questions about it's
different parts, and about the places and
things which we passed by, and he was
very patient in answering. Soon We stop.
ped st another station, and he knelt down
againjust moment before we started.
As he did this often, I tried to see what
he was doing, and, finally, after ne had
passed a good many stations, I made up
my mind to ask him. He looked at me
very earnestly and said:
my little lad do you pray ?"
Il replied, %, yes, sir pray every
morning and evening"
"'Well, my dear boy said he, God
has allowed me to hold very respon-
sible place here. There are, perhaps,
200 lives now on this train entrusted to
my care. a little intake on my part,
little inattention to signals might send
all, or many of these 200 souls into eter-

The Praying Engineer.

One winter, several years ago, there
was great deal of religious interest in
a certain Western town and among
those who joined the church was Allie
Forsyth, little fellow 12 years of sge.
His mother WAS q widow, and had re-
moved four years before, from their
home in Vermont, to this town in Wis

he Joined the church Allie was sitting in

"Allie, tell me what led you to want
to be Christian Was it your home

Looking up into his mothers face, be

Curing ,PesYlne Hay. \

The value of the pea is now more fully
recognized at the South, both as forage
and fertilizer (when sown and turned un-
der) than it has been at any timein the
last thirty years. As fertilizer-espe-
cially for wheat or oats-it is certainly
the cheapest as well as one of the best.
But as forage it is the best; yes, / add
the very best that va can get; answer
ing as hay and solid food too. And I
have known mules and cattle to keep fat
ON it without any solid food at all.
TIE great trouble heretofore. with my.
self and with mJ' neighbors, too, has been
that it is somewhat difficult to cure them.
The pea vine cures slowly and being
heavy lies close to the ground, and if the
weather is eithe1 wet or cloudy, they are
apt to mould or rot before they can be
sufficiently cured to store away.
The plan which I propose to recon-
mend procured from the columns of
the Democrat and tried it myself last
summer and which I tried so successful
ly, I desire to endorse most heartily, 80
that every farmer who has pea vine hay
to cut need not be afraid to try it, if they
have any confidence in3my Endorsement.
Hers is the plan Cut your pea vines
and let them lie for two days at least,
and prepare stakes or poles at least eight
feet long and sharpen one end so it will
drive into the ground and load up in g.
wagon with & body on, and drive the
wagon along the field whete the stakes
are to be driven and with mauls, or
sledge hammers, drive them down sufi-
GENTLY deep to support a stack Of vines
about four or FIVE feet broad. Then
stack your vines around the stage, being
careful to round each stack nicely at the
top so it will turn rain and etthe stack
remain one, two or three weeks as your
convenience and the weather will allow,
and then haul up and put in your barn,
and will assure you your vines will be
we'll cured and sweet and the most nour-
ishing-the sweetest forage you ever saw.

The Two Duckeys.

a Cleveland drummer, says an ex
change, was in Elyria, a few Sundays ago
and while sitting in his room, heard from
the next room the mysterious question
and answer:
"Whose duckey are you?"
"I'se your duckey?"
A few moments passed, during which
the drummer sat in open-mouthed won.
der, and the silence was again broken:
"Whose duckey are you ?"
"I'se yorr duckey |"
Unable to stand it alone much longer
the Clevelander hurried down to tht
Office, and learning that newly married
couple were in the house, invited three
other drummers to hear the fun, and tip
toed back to his room. The wicked
quartet crammed their handkerchief in
their mouths, and during the next quar-
ter of an hour heard that fond conun-
drum put and answered no less than four
times by the unconscious rustic and hip
blushing bride.
At dinner, as luck would have it, the
bride and groom were seated between two
of the drummers, while the original dis.
cover of the bonanza sat opposite. The
table had been cleared of the substan-
tials and orders for the dessert had been
given. At that moment spirit of mis-
chief took entire possession of the Cleve'
lander. Leaning across the table, be
looked archly at his nearest neighbos
and in dulcet tones propounded the CO.
nundrum-
"Whose duckey are you ?"
The other chap was equal to the emer.
gency, and in tones of affected sweetness
got in his answer
"I'se your duckey!"
Two scarlet rustic faces, the Autter oi
q white dress through the doorway, two
vacant seats at the table, and four crazy
drummers laughing until the tears ran,
flashed across the vision of the spectator
as the curtain fell.
