terdav, or coming to school With
my slate when forgot It, or show
ing me how TO do that ninth exam
pie"
Very quietly Tom sat for a little
while, and as he sat there he thought
it all over; he remembered ever so
many things that papa and mamma
hadn't put in their bills. Then he
took his slate and pencil to count up
all he owed.
1t was not very hard to do, and
soon the answer-S1 .6O-stared IN
his face. Slowly he got up from his
chair, slowly went over to the closet,
and brought out his red bank in
which he kept the money he was
saving tor his share in the big bob"
that the boys were having made.
There wasn't any way out OF it. If
papa and mamma and Kate asked
fair price for what they had done
for him, he surely ought TO pay their
bills as they had paid his.
He wouldn't have cried for the
world, but his throat felt very
lumpy when the bank was opened,
and all the precious dimes and
nlckels and pennies were IN his
hand-two dollars and three cents.
Then he took his slate again, and
did an example in satisfaction
$3.50 from S2O3 leaves $O.43.
Back in the bank went forty-three
cents, and then dividing the rest &C
cording to the bills, he took the
money and went upstairs and paid
his debts. Kate was going to say,
Keep 1t, Tom dear; l don't want
your money" but look at mann
mas face warned her. She receipted
her bill, mamma and papa signed
theirs. and Tom, with a very sober
face, kissed the family all goodnight.
But the little mothers heart went
out after the boy, and when he was
safely in bed she came in and knelt
down with her arms around him.
Tom" she whispered in his ear,
"mothers and little boys don't ever
do things for each other for money,
or fathers or sisters either, Tom.
What do they do them for, dear?"
And Tom replied steadily and
slowly, Never for anything but
love, mother dear. - [Grace Duf6eld

FABLE OF TWO BROTHERS.

A certain man was hanged, that he
died. And he left two sons, honest
men.
Now one Of the sons was a black
smith, but the other became physi-
clan.
And after that their father had
been taken away from them these
brothers made their homes in other
lands.
And the blacksmith would have
prospered, but it befell that one ask
ed him how his father made end.
And the blacksmith, looking angrily
upon him, answered, He was hung, "
for the blacksmith was an honest
man.
Howbeit, presently, when a horse
was missing, men gathered and
hanged the blacksmith, saying
This man must take after his ia Their"
So the black smith did take after his
father, but whether he caught up
with him the tale telleth not.
And at the same time, in his own
city, one inquired of the physician by
what means his father died. And
the physician covered his face and
wept.
But whilst he wept he considered,
saying within himself: IF say, he
was hanged theu shall shock this
man and give him pain; and it is
my Office to relieve pain. Neverthe-
less. | must tell the truth"
He said therefore: My father died
of heart failure" And again he wept,
the questioner weeping with him.
Then, this being told, men said
"Doubtless, since his father died of
heart failure, this good physician and
loving son hath made duty of kin
dred diseases" So they resorted
unto him.
And the physician became a spe-
cialist. And he looked at them who
came, and coughed once and sneezed
twice and demanded 500. And they
gave gladly. For the physician was
an honest man. Kate Fields Wash

 The crowned heads of Europe seem to take good deal of stock in life in- surance. It is announced by the Bos- ton Herald that the king of Portugal has just taken out S20o,000 policy on his life, but that is an insignificant in- vestment compared with those of some of the other potentates. The late Elm peror Frederick of Germany was in- sured for S4,o0o,oO0. The queen regent of Spain has her life insured for a large amount, in behalf of her two little daughters, following the example of her husband, whose death mulcted the various companies in which he was in- sured for $5,000,000 King Leopold of Belgiuins life is heavily insured, as is also that of Queen Victoria. The queens husband the late prince consort, was insured for close upon S5,0OO,000, the income of which has been enjoyed by his widow. About the only sovereign in Europe who is not insured is the ear of Russia, the companies regarding him as too unsafe risk on account of the nihi1ists

Last night Arthur Bald win, a Nickel Plate switchman, was found in the yards insensible. Three otEer switchmen and a call boy were violently stoned. This morning Conductor Mulcahy of the Pennsylvania was knocked down by rock and kicked in the face. Three switchmen in the Penn sylvania yards were clubbed and relieved of lanterns. Both Nickel Plate and Wa bash passenger trains were stoned. Chris tian Hess, the only rioter arrested, fired two shots at Captain Bergman of the city police before he surrendered.

TWO LEADERS
Of the Democratic Party Meet Large Crowds in Sumter With Good
 Results.

YORK STATION, July 7.-[Special. r. Colonel Oates and MT. Fits arrived at 7:30 p. m. from their trip to Butler, Choctaw county, where they enjoyed happy greet ing and fine barbecue Monday and ad- dressed about 1200 or 1900 people. Not with hstandng the number of wise Kolb speakers in this county and public notice of the meeting they did not get one of them to face the next governor aud attor- ney general on the stump. Great success partly describes the result of their trip.
 Today on their return they had a nice, large crowd at Gaston, Sumter county, as listeners to@ their true talks. Much good was also accomplished at Gaston. Colonel Oates and MT. Pitts are both in fine health and spirits. They report a pleasant and successful trip.
 At this place, after several pieces by the band, the one-armed hero thanked the crowd for their presence, and then Mr. Pitts appeared and made a splendid talk to an appreciative crowd. Had Captain Kolb heard his talk he might have appreciated the contrast in the two candidates and ap- piled for membership in the democratic party.

FULL COMMITTEE
OF CoNFEREEs ON THE TARIFF MEET AND
 ADJOURN.


 ADJOURN.
 WASHINGTON, July 1.-The full con- ference committee on the tariff bill, in- cluding the republican conferees, met at 2 o'clock in the room of the senate comnlit- tee on finance. Prior to their meeting it is said that Gorman and one or two other senators who have achieved prominence ce for their 'conservative course' in the construction of lthe tariff bill, called the democratic mem bers into a commit tee room and warned them again that un- der no circumstances must they recede from the amendments the senate had made to the house bill. Should they do so and there be any change in the complexion of the senate bill these con ferees were told that upon their shoulders must rest the re- sponsibility for the defeat of the bill in the end.
 The conference adjourned at 3:15 until 2 o'clock tomorrow without doing anything beyond discussing the general situation. There is little likelihood of an agreement, and the general impression of those who were in the committee room is that the report when made will te disagreement on all the essential points in the bill. It is also said that the house conferee5 VI ere stan ding out because the president is behind them and is insisting that the house bill and not that of the senate shall become the tariff law of the land

AN INTERESTING CASE.

MONTGOMERY, July H.-[Special. l-The receivers of the Pennsylvania Steel com pany obtained judgment last month in the United States court here against the Savan- nah, Amercus and Montgomery Railroad company for $500, ,000. When the United States marshal came to execute the levy he found nc property. Today the receivers of the Philadelphia company filed a petition asking the appointment of receiver for the Alabama division of the Savannah, Ameri- GUS and Montgomery company. The peti- ton alleges fraud on the part of the Savan- nah, Americus and Montgomery people, who, it is charged, agreed to issue to the Pennsylvania company first mortgage bonds on the Alabama division, but who, y, instead of doing so, had sold the bonds to the Mercantile Trust and Deposit company of Baltimore. The petitions further attack the legality of this bond issue on the ground that the bonds of the Alabama di- vision were issued under the provisions of the Georgia law instead of under those of the Alabama law. The case will be heard in September,

COL VIM II DENSON
Gives the Lie to the Report That He Had Gone Over to the Kolb
 Faction.

MONTGOMERY, July H.-Congressmau w. H. Denson of the Seventh district spoke at Culman yesterday, and report from the chairman of the democratic ex- ecutive committee of that county to the Advertiser today says that Denson has gone over to the popuists. He distinctly announced that he would not say anything on state politics and did not espouse the cause of the democratic state ticket, though the election is only three weeks off.
 Denson was also asked to deny publicly the statement from the national populist committee that he had agreed to make speeches for that party, but refused to do so. Privately ne said it was lie, and that his democracy could not be questioned. His speech was received by the populists as for Kolb, aud was a, surprise and disap- pointment to the democrats.
 Prominent populite leaders here boast of Denson's accession, and intimate that if they control the Legislators this winter they will put him in Senator Morgan s seat.

King Asked for Sugar.

There is some uncertainty as to the date of the introduction of sugar, but it would appear that it was considered a luxury in 1926, when Henry. III. asked the mayor of Winchester to get for him three pounds of Alexandria sugar, if so much could be had, and also some rose and violet colored sugar. Be- fore the year 400, however, it became more plenty, and was sold at what would be equivalent to from thirty seven and one-half to seventy-fve cents per pound in American money.
