most bashful boy west of the Allie
ghanies. I wouldn't look at girl
much less speak to a maiden; but for
all that I fell desperately in love
with a sweet, beautiful neighbor
girl. 1t was desirable match on
both sides, and the old folks saw the
drift and fixed it up. I thought I

a Mud Bath.
A Drummer's Unique Story of the
Way 1t was Taken.

Two drummers walked up to the
counter of one of the hotels last eve
ming.
The night clerk stood behind it,
monarch of all he didn't survey.
The legs of the bellboys dangled
from row of chairs in front of the
desk.
To the side reporter, with half
shut eyes, saw scoops in the ceiling
and heard them in the elevator.
"Say, Pete, scratch out that bath
item from my bill, will you7" said one
of the drummers to the CLERK.
The speaker was dapper little
fellow, with colossal gift of CAB.
Couldn't you stand the mud bath?"
asked the big strapping drummer
with the shaking cheeks.
"No," was the disgrunted reply.
Muddy Mississippi river water is
the healthfulest thing in the world
to bathe in" said the night clerk,
mounting his stool, which stood acar
the cashiers desk.
"Pshaw!" exclaimed the drummer.
"The way I do,'' said the big trav-
cling man, sis to let the water stand
in the tub for several hours. The
mud settles in the bottom, and the
water is clear. Then I bathe, but
am careful not to create stir"
"You amt in it with my partner"
"No?"
"Why, my partner gets into the
muddy water. It's so muddy you
can sharpen knife on it,
s.Yes7"
"Well, my partner, ne gets into the
water, mud and all, and takes bath
anyhow"
Gle does, ehs" And how does he
come out?"
"Well, my partner" I said "gets
into the mud and water and takes
bath"

the bigger drummer.

til he dries"

system provided by law.
eff New York can be permitted by
indirection to disfranchise classes,
why cannot South Carolina?"
Senator Hill goes right to the meat
of the matter. The South Carolina
registration law operates on all alike.
The negro is not expressly disfran-
chised by them, and if from his own
fault he fails to comply with its
terms, the law should not be blamed.
''If New York can be permitted by
indirection to disfranchise classes,
why cannot South Carolina?" All!
why not? Probably because New
York is not afflicted with Federal
Judge who has an inclination to
upset her laws: regardless of their
Justice or constitutionalty. And
New York is not alone in being per-
mitted to disfranchise classes by ''ir-
direction" Other States do so and
have done so all along without Fede-
raj Judges daring to overthrow those
"indirection" laws. But if Goff's de-
cision is allowed to stand, if it is
made precedent, State sovereignty
is indeed an idle dream of the past
and the States are sunk into mere
appanages Of the Federal govern.

The Meat Of It.
Columbia Register.

SO1uiuO 1eSSiotSi
There is one portion of Senator
Hills speech in responce to the toast
Democracy" at the recent banquet
of the Democratic editors of New
York, which is of special interest to
South Carolinians, as it touches upon
a vital issue in which they are deeply
interested-the dangerous encroach-
ments of the Federal Judiciary upon
the rights Of the sovereign States.
South Carolina has always main
tained an aggressive light for
widest application of that doctrine.
At times she has gone farther than
other States were willing to 60, but
in her present fight for preservation
of the principles to which she has
ever clang, she has the sympathy OF
every State in the Union, for they
have viewed with alarm the growing
assumption of power by politicians
wearing the Federal ermine, and they
recognize that in the struggle South
Carolina is now making they have a
direct interest, for q decision against
South Carolina means curtailment
of their sovereign rights as we'll as a
curtailment of ours. Senator Hills
remarks on the South Carolina case
were as follows:
"a Federal Republican judge from
West Virginia has recently eDjoined
the authorities of the sovereign State
of South Carolina from holding an
election for delegates to State Con-
stitutional Convention. This is fair
illustration of the dangerous tend
ency which is cropping out every
where among our opponents toward
centralization and the assumption OF
doubtful powers in derogation OF the
rights of States and of individuals.
Intelligent men do not ned to be in
formed that Judge Goff's action is
unprecedented, even if not a clear
usurpation of authority. His in
junction is based upon the theory
that the strict registration laws of
South Carolina operate to impede or
prevent the free and full registra-
ton, of colored electors, and that
therefore the State shall not be per-
mitted to have constitutional con-
vention with delegates chosen under
such registration.
1T has always been understood
that the States themselves were the
Judges or the propriety OF the pro-
visions of such registration laws so
long as no elector was expressly ex-
cluded from the privilege..of registra-
ton.
1T is clear that the general gov
eminent cannot revise, condemn or
interfere with such laws. no matter
how strict, unreasonable or harsh
they may be regarded, outside OF
that State so long as every elector is
permitted by their express terms to
register.
The Constitution of New York
recognizes manhood suffrage and
gives to every elector the undoubted
right to cast secret ballot, no mat
ter how illiterate he may be, but the
recent Republican Legislature-of
unsavory memory-has passed an
election law which not in express
terms, but in practical effect, pre-
vents his voting unless he swears to
his illiteracy at the time Of his regis
tration and compulsorily discloses on
election day to two election officers

.Absent-Minded.

Several good stories are told of
the observation-disclosures of some we'll
known divines. Of one popular
clergyman it is said that when walk
ing on the street his mind is gener-
ally so thoroughly fixed upon some
subject that he will pass by his most
intimate friends without the slight
est recognition. Once, when in the
country, this minister ran full into a
COW, which was calmly chewing her
cud by the wayside. Without MOTTO
ing the nature Of the obstruction,
the absent minded clergyman lifted
his hat and, with bow, said, Il beg
your pardon" Upon realizing the
righteousness of his error, he made
a messa} resolve never to commit a
like Kunder again.

SHARP turn in the road, beyond which
he could not obtain sight of any NOV
ing object. Turning the corner
quickly, he came face to face with
lady, and before he could check his
speed, nearly knocked the woman
down. Dim recollections of the cow
episode evidently flashed through his
mind, for he said, sharply, $50 away,
you dirty beast" What the lady
said is not recorded.
OF another clergyman the tale is
told that he was once riding with
companion through the woods
in Vermont. For a long time
not word had been spoken, as the
reverend gentleman seemed wrapped
up in some matter far from his sur
roundings. Suddenly fox darted
across the road, directly in front of
the horses head. The clergyman
did not see it, and his companion ex
claimed, There goes fox!' As if
nothing had been said, the minister
continued silent, still thinking Of the
weighty subject Of his reverie. Fully
half an hour elapsed before he asked,
quite innocently, "Where?"

tens through the window and walked
out into the night.

A new method Of using maple sugar,
which originated In the sugar-making
districts, has proved so popular there
that it viii doubtless meet with favor In
other quarters.
Make an ordinary soda-biscuit dough,
and when ready to roll out, stir In a
generous cupful Of maple sugar which
has been cut into the size Of peas. Cut
the biscuits Of the usual shape, and let
the whole process be rs rapid as possible.
Bake In = quick oven and serve hot.
The syrup cooks out somewhat In bak-
ing, and forms syrupy coating which
Is very agreeable. Any that may be left
over will be liked cold next day, and
will also be found pleasant addition to
the children's lunch basket.
A good liquid pudding sauce Is made
by scraping half pound Of maple sugar
and dissolving 1t In cupful of cream or
rich milk. Let it boil few minutes at
the side of the range until 1t is of the
consistency of thin syrup, stirring oc-
casionally to prevent burning. Batter
puddipgs, or, in fact, any puddings
which have no decided flavor Of their
own, are much improved when served
with this sauce.

AFFAIRS OF TnE HOUSEHOLD.

A girls hair is one of her points OF
beauty and it should never be neglected.
Regular steady brushing OF the hair
with clean brush, fifty strokes before
going to bed at night, twenty-five In the
morning when dressing, will keep the
hair thick, smooth, soft and lovely.
Once month at least the tips Of the
hair should be clipped of, just the mere.t
tip ends at the edges, and once mouth
the head should be carefully washed
With tepid water and soap, thoroughly
rubbed and well dried. II mamma has
time 10 take this sort Of care OF her
daughters hair, she will be repaid by
seeing rich and flowing tresses, or sisters
may easily do il for one another. Do
not cut your hair in bangs. Ii Is very
much prettier simply parted and combed
back plainly, then braided in one or two
long tails, and tied with a ribbon.
Avoid essences, oils and pigments; the
hair needs only cleanliness and much
brushing. Keep your hairbrush clean
by frequently dipping il into a bath OF
hot water and ammonia and drying IL in
the sun. Everything used in treating
the hair must be scrupulously neat.
A delicious savory for luncheon or tea
is made by cutting some hard boiled
eggs in two, lengthwise; the yolk is
then removed and pounded up with some
grated cheese--allow half an ounce for
each egg-a little whipped cream or but
ter, and small quantity Of tomato
sauce, the seasoning being cayenne pep
per and celery salt. The halves OF the
eggs are then lined with small water
cress leaves and filled with the mixture.
This dish should be accompanied by
toast and butter.
