Gravy received a telegram as follows
from Columbia:
"Seize jug whIskey addressed 8. A.
Walker, Enoree, by express from Au.

(Signedl "B. r. TILLMAN."
Whereupon, the sheriff, apparently
no regarding this peremptory order
from his chief majesty, whisked into the
office of Trial Justice w. w. Kennedy,
and swore out a warrant, stating the
facts of the telegram and obtaining the
JUSTICES warrant and on the arrival of
train, the sheriff whisked into the ex-
press car, seized a suspicious looking
box, incontinently broke it and found
it contained a jug. The jug is now safely
in the hands OF the sheriff, It's iestina-

thusly: "These are therefore to COM

A CAMP ON ST. MARY's RIVER.

One hour of this work brought US to our de-
sired camp at Deep Point, Maryland. nearly
opposite Quantico, Va and we thought our
troubles were over. when in fact they had
just begun. On landing our first desire was
to replenish our supply or water. but the
cool spring which two years before had
made this our favorite camp was not to he
found, and we reluctantly concluded that 1t
had gone dry. After resting an hour and
eating our dinner we went further up the
creek but with no better success, and at
dusk pitched our camp ON fishing shore
known as Tar Kiln Point, where in former
years a brush shanty erected for the pur-
pose of tarring fishing nets had stood.

There seems to be considerable fayoritism
shown In the admissions department As
every one knows, the small salary of SIS a
month Is not what the average ticket seller
is after. 1t. is the ''rake-of'' The rake
off, consists in the change which patrons
forget to pick up from the window when
they purchase tickets. Sometimes this
''rake-off' is enormous One young man
who handles tickets at 9th street at the
beginning of the month deposited 500 in a
local bank. That was his "rake-off' for the

THE SHY MAN.
4 Few Words in His Defense, Presum-
ably Written by a Woman,

From London Truth.
One of the characters IN a modern rcvel
is made to say, Il love a shy man. He is
getting so scarce"
Perhaps that is why he is SO really de-
licious.
When he bushes palpably, but without
looking awkward, one is drawn toward
him by certain sentiment of affinity. and
so long as he is just shy enough-not too
shy-he wins more and more upon one
To draw really shy man out Of mis- shy
ness Is pleasing task, and the more so
as he is generally enhanced to give ex-
preston to the thoughts and ideas that lie
usually keeps locked fast away within
himself One comes upon stray jewel or
two now and then In such cases in the
shape Of an unexpected Thought that as
tonishes the discoverer because It seems so
different from the person from whom 1t
emanateS.
l assure you, I think shy men are some
times very charming, but ,hen ona must
be a little bit shy ones self in rrier to
appreciate them.
Do you know any nice ones. and do you
know that they come out of their smell in
a tete-a-tete. and not always then, so that
there is pleasing element OF uncerta. n ty
about them which adds to the interest
they inspire?

preparation of supper. and after an hours
conversation We agreed to turn in" and
to break camp at dawn. We took the pre-
caution TO spread a large mosquito cam
opy over us, but the night was hot and 1t
was difficult to breathe, so it was grad
ually thrown off. For an hour all was
stiffness, then, suddenly, the chant OF the
mosquito army resounded through the tent
and soon swarm of these insects from
an adjacent swamp had taken possession.
We had no choice but to vacate our COM
Portable quarters and seek relief in the
smoke Of our dying camp fire. The dark
ness outside was intense, but after light
ing our lantern We gathered freWood and
were soon seated around the cheerful blaze
"a thing which the mosquitoes, at least
did not relish But they had the tent and
should have been satisfied. 1t was now
midnight, and for four hours we kept up
our camp fire and talked and smoked. Then
as the first streaks of dawn appeared in
the eastern skies, We broke camp. after
having light breakfast, and padded
away just as the sun rose on that mos
quito-infested point. resolving never to
camp there again.
Two miles of padding brought us TO the
Potomac. and at Stump Neck, another fish
ing shore on the southwestern side of Mat
tawonlan creek, We stopped TO wait for
breeze and to take morning swim. But
the breeze came not. and as the tide began
TO ebb We drifted lazily along the shore
passing Postum Nose and Chicamu zen
creek. which were famous escorts OF the
blockade runners during the war OF the
rebellion. At Budd's Ferry. a shady roint
just btiOW thicdfIiuNtn creek, AMI tnirtE-
one miles from Washington we had our
lunch beneath a huge tree. and a nile
further down the beach we decil.d to make
camp as two coDtous springs were found
and a high blur gave us a most desira BILE
camping SPOT. Just across the river the
entrance to Chapowamsie creek. a mile be-
low Potomac city, could be seen. and eight
miles away on the Virginia shore the broad
surface OF Aqua creek glistened in the sun
light. The famous cuarries on the shores
of this creek which were purchased by the
government In 1872 provided the free stone
from which the Executive Mansion and the
older portions of the Capitol were built
