recently. Mr.. Mccain had arrived from
South Carolina (they call it So'th Cah-leen-
yah down there), where he had been sent
to write up the Tillman whiskey war. He
was full of incidents in connection with
the trip, and represented the conditions
down in the Palmetto State as being very
peculiar. such as could not exist in the
North. "You cannot purchase liquor in
the State unless from a State dispensary.
And such liquor. 1t is corn whiskey, am
told, and about six monthe old. The ma

customed to it tell me that it might do tn

eats through an ordinary brick after few

| $lS week was curious to know whether
or not he could afford to assume the re-
sponsibiiities of family. In his own Ian
guage he thus tells how he satisfied his

widow with one child, that l would like
| TO experiment for one week and ascertain
for myself the actual cost of maintaining
small family, my wages being $1S a
week. She was willing. She bad a suite
OF four rooms, for which she paid $l4 a
month. Well, paid the rent for one week
and bought all her coal and wood and
meat and groceries a1d paid for her laundry
| work and my own ,etc At the end of seven
days found that out of the $l8 there re-

man and have decided objections to adopt
the costume of the South Sea Islanders,
came to the conclusion that would remain
