Very GooG-natured.

The best-natured woman we
know lives in Walsall.
She has been married a number
of years to man named Ferguson !;
but she and her husband have
never had quarrel yet, and he has
frequently boosted that it was ut
terly impossible to make her angry.
Ferguson made several attempts
to see if he could not exasperate
her to look cross or scowl at him,
merely to crafty his curiosity; but
the more outrageously he acted the
more affably and lovingly she be-
haved.
Last week he was talking with a
friend about what hard time he'd
had trying to find out il his wife
had temper.
The friend offered to bet five dol
lars that if Ferguson were to go
home drunk, raise a row, and pull
the table-cloth full of dishes off
the table, she would show some
signs Of annoyance.
Ferguson said he didn't want to
rob friend Of his money, for he
knew he would win; but at last
they made the bet, the friend to
hide in the front yard, and watch
the proceedings of the contention
through the window.
Ferguson came home late, and
apparently, fighting drunk.
She met him at the gate, kissed
him, and assisted his lettering
steps to the house.
He sat down in the middle of the
floor, and howled out:
"Confound yer ugly picture, what
do you mean by pulling that chair
from under me?"
"Oh, L hope you did not hurt
yourself. 1t is my awkward ness
but Pll try not to do it again." and
helped him to his feet, although
she had nothing in the world to do
with his falling.
He then sat down on the sofa,
and, sliding off on the floor, abused
her like pickpocket for lifting up
the other end OF the sofa.
All this she took good natured-
ly, and finally she led him to the
supper table.
He threw plate at her; but she
acted as il she had not noticed it,
and asked him II he would take
tea or coffee.

Then he seized the table-cloth
and sat down on the floor, pulling
the dishes and everything else
over him with one grand crash.
What did this noble woman do?
Do you suppose she grumbled
and talked about "going home to
ma" or that she sat down and
cried like fool, or that she sulk-
ed and pouted?
Not a bit of it. With pleasant
smile, she said:
"Why, George, that's a new idea,
isn't it We have been married
ten years, and have never yet eaten
our supper on the floor. Won't it
be fun Just like those picnics we
used to have before we were mar
ried ?"
And then this angelic woman
deliberately sat down on the floor
alongside of the wretch, arranged
what remained of the dishes, and
placed before him a nice supper.
This broke George all up.
He owned that he'd only been
fooling her, and offered to give her
a ten-dollar bill to get new hat;
but she took the money and bought
him box of cigars.

OAROL1NA's DIsPENsARY LAW
Justices Pope and Gary Declare it Con-

Columbia, S. c., Oct. S-The decision of
the state supreme court in the dispensary
cases was filed tonight. Justices Pope
and Gary declare the law constitu-
tional, while Chief Justice McIver dis
sents. This was not unexpected. Justice
Gary argues, generally. that the regula-
tons of the manufacture and sale of in
toXicating liquor comes within the police
power of The state and that the dispen-
sary is such a regulation of the traffic
that there is no Inherent right in any one
10 sell liquor, and that being the case,
the state has a right to prohibit the sale
altogether, or to so control il as it deems
best for the general welfare. Justice Pope
assents to this finding, which is a long
legal dissertation on the constitutionality
of the act
Chief Justice McIver dissents and reiter-
ates generally the position taken by him
When the law was declared unconstitu-
uonal last spring.
The effect of the decision will be that
Gov. Tillman will now begin an active
warfare against the "blind-tigers," which
have been fiourishing without much mo-
Iestation since the act was declared I'M
Constitutional. What the saloon men will
do is problematical. They have never
had any concert of action in fighting the
law in the courts, but tits more than'lilIely
