Diamond as a Friend.


That's my silent partner. "
said a drummer when his atten-
ton was calledto the fact that he
always wore his big diamond be-
meath his vest.
"A good diamond. he explain
ed, lis about the best friend in
need a travelling man has. You
may think it a case of vanity, but
it isn't-at least it isn't with a
majority of the men who wear
them on the road. A diamond is
the most convenient form of por-
table p 'operty, and the least tluc-
tuating in value. You may get
OUT of money in some far-away
town, be robbed on the road, lose
your money. or blow it IN on a
spree, there you are. Your dia-
mond of the value of $50 will.
stand you in for 800. You
couldn't get more than $50 or
something like that on a watch
worth $3.50 to .S4o0. SO you'll.
see most travelling men wearing
a good stone. 1t is a silent or
special partner. and stands by a
man at a right time. Circus
men and theatrical people save
their money in diamonds. They
see good many ups and downs
and if they didn't put their sur.
plus cash into gems they'd letit
all go and have nothing for a
rainy day. An actress can this
way both save her money and be
using it at the same time in per
sonal adornment. We used to
have man with the Barnum
show who went through the en-
tire season dealing in diamonds
with our people. He'd sell them
diamonds. buy them back or loan
money on them when the posses
sors were hard up, and run a
regular diamond brokers trade
with US exclusively. 1 always

bromo, and a copy of the Clarks-

pared for anything.

What Is a kiss.

A contemporary recently offer
ed a prize for the best definition
of a kiss The following are
some of the best definitions sent
in, the first one winning the prize:
An insipid and tasteless nor
sci, which becomes delicious and
delectable in proportion as it Is
favored with love.
The sweetest fruit on the tree
of love. The oftener plucked
the more abundant it grows.
A thing of use to no one, bnt
much priced by two.
The baby's right, the lovers
delicate privilege, the parents
benson, and the hyprocrite's
mask.
That which you cannot give
without taking. and cannot take
without giving.
The food by which the fame
of love is fed.
The flag of truce in the petty
wars of courtship and marriage.
The acme of agony to a bash
full man.
The only known smack" that
will calm storm.
A telegram to the heart.
Nothing, divided between two.
Not enough for one. just
enough fer two, too much for
three.

4 Clash
Between The Governor Of
South Carolina and Judge
Golf.
4 special from Columbia S. 9. !,

A special from Columbia S. G. +,
says
Judge Nathan Golf, Of West
Virginia, and the State of South
Carolina, are likely to lock horns.
Despite the temporary injunction
he granted in the United States
court restraining dispensary Of.
ticers from Selling liquor brought
into the State in violation of the
dispensary law, to day consta.
giles, acting under orders from
Governor Evans, seized liquors
in several parts of the State.
They are in c-ntempt of Judge
COTS order and it is expected
that he will promptly take steps
to punish them. If Governor
Evans attempts to protect them
there will be a lively clash Of
authority.
In an interview gwen to the
press few days ago Governor
Evans stated that he intended to
enforce the law regardless OF
Judge COTS injunction, which
he intended to treat with con.
tempt and that Judge Goff
might make the most of it.
Judge COTS temporary injunc-
ton was issued at Clarksburg,
West Virginia. and if made per
manent, practically destroys the
effect of the dispensary law"
Judge Golf was acting in his
official capacity as a United
States Justice and if his orders
are disobeyed by the Governor
offs. Q. he can call upon the en-.
tire military power of the land
TO carry into effect the injunction.

Advantages OF Tldiness.

Tidiness is satirized by a hun.
dred writer's, and despised, as we
have said. by millions /; but no.
body ever argues against it seri
ously, unless to take the allega-
ton that strong men are never
tidy to be a serious argument. 1t
would be one, perhaps. if it were
true, but it is not. Great SOL
diers and sailors are almost in
variably tidy, Frederick of Prus.
STA being a rather conspicuous
exception; many great lawyers
have been neat to tinicalness, and
the same may be said of many
great men of business. We should
say indeed that as many weak
men were untidy as strong men.
and that of the latter large
proportionwill be found to be of
the dreamy or the reflective TEN.
perment.
Dreamy people hate tidiness,
and the very reflective are rare.
ly quite tidy, tie reason being
the same in both cases, that such
persons, besides feeling the in
herent dislike of most men to
small recurrent exertion with
out immediate end. are annoyed
by Interruptions to the current
of thought They want, as they
say, to be at peace from tritles;
and as somebody usually saves
them from the consequences of
their ways, they remain untidy
through life.
That they gain anything by
theiruntidiness, except, possibly,
some light relief from irritability,
is, however. most rash assump.
tion. They rarely save time, for
they can never find anything ;
they do not think more clearly,
for the materials for thought are
never ready to hand and it may
be questioned if their habit adds
even to their mental peace.
