THE SAME IDEA.--The directors OF
a bank had engaged the services of a
watchman, who came we'll recommend
ed, but did not seem overexperienced.
The chairman, therefore, sent for him
to post him up a bit and began
flames this is your first job of this
kind, isn't it?"
ayes, SIR"
"Your duty must be to exercise
vigilance"
ayes, sir"
"Be careful how strangers approach
you"
II will, SIR"
"No strangers must be allowed to
enter the bank at night under any
pretext whatever"
"No, SIR"
"And our manager-he is a good
man, honest, reliable and trustworthy
but it shall be your duty to keep an
eye on him."
"But it will be hard to watch two
men and the bank at the same time"
1.-TWO men-how?"
"Why, sir, it was only yesterday that
the manager called me in for talk,
and he said you were one of the best
men in London, but it would be just
as we'll to keep both eyes on you, and
let the directors know if you hang
around after hours"

ARE YOU
A THINKING
MAN I?

OR do you let somebody else do your
~ studying. If you are thinker we
want you to consider a few points which
we will submit. Here they are: Can
YOU afford to go on from day to day,
week to week and year to year withort
throwing around your wife, children Or
those dependent upon you, that iron cad
protection which is absolutely guaran-
iced to them by a policy in first-class
life insurance company? If you decide
that you cannot ignore life insurance, are
you using the same business sense that
characterizes your daily business transac-
tons if you place your insurance with
company that charges you twice as much
for your protection as it is worth, or as
another company equally as reliable will
furnish it for? The MUTUAL RESERVE
FUND LIFE ASSOCIATION, OF New York,
has been in business about ID years and
during that time has paid more than
S22,OOO.OOO to the beneticiaries Of de-
ceased policy holders. 1t has in force
today as much insurance as the THREE
STONGEST old line companies had when
they had reached the same age, and some
thing like $50,0O0,OOO to spare.
It has more assets, as compared
to liabilities than any company in
the world.
1t has paid every honest death claim
that has been presented, in full, and has
never taken advantage of technicality,
as other companies often do. Now for a
practical illustration: Say you are 43
years of age: A 5000 life policy (pay as
long as you live in the Insurance
Company, of New York, will cost you
SlSO.5O annually or $500 in twenty years,
if you live that long, in cold cash, not
counting interest. The same size policy
in the MUTUAL RESERVE, will cost
you ss6.lO annually, or Sl,722 in twenty
years. We will be pleased to explain our
system to you and also to convince you
that any derogatory statement made by
any agent of any old line company doing
business in this section about the Mutual
Reserve, is absolutely false and is inspired
by his desire to sell you something you
will never derive any benefit from. It
will certainly do you no harm to learn all
you can about our company and its plan
before placing your insurance.

THEIR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT
Soon after the outbreak of the Cuban
insurrection an American newspaper
determined to send special cores
pondent to the seat of war. The jour-
nal in question had been getting some
live reports from its regular cores
pondent at point in Florida, and the
special correspondent was ordered to
stop at this point and take the Flori-
dian to Cuba with him. In day or
two the telegraphic editor received the
following message from the special
"Our Florida correspondent here seems
very much disinclined to 60 to Cuba
with me-"
The editor was determined not to
have his plans balked, and sent this :
"Our Florida correspondent must obey
orders and 60 to Cuba with you.
Offer any reasonable inducements"
Not long afterward the following
reply was received "Our correspon-
dent here refuses point blank to 60 to
Cuba with me except upon one condi-
ton, and that is, that l marry her. |
have one wife already, and / am afraid
the war will be over before can get a
divorce. Answer quick"

Chester Divides.


A county convention, composed OF
equal representation from the Reform
and Conservative factions, was held
in Chester last Saturday for the pur-
pose of agreeing upon the selection of
Democratic candidates for delegates
to the constitutional convention.
There was but little friction, and the
convention soon reached conclusion
to divide the nominees equally be-
tween the two factions. The names of
seven men were put in nomination and
each was required to give his views on
the homestead, school tax, dispensary
and corporation questions. The fol-
lowing were elected Tillmanites {:
G. w. Gage, r. J. Cunningham. Anti
Tillmanites J. Lyles Glenn, Richard
O. Atkinson. 1t is believed that so
far as Chester county is concerned,
the constitutional convention fight is
settled.
No Peace I'm Edgefeld.
A "peace and harmony" convention
was held in Edgefield county last
Monday. When the convention met,
the sentiment of majority OF the
delegates seemed to be in favor of
equal representation of the factions in
the constitutional convention. Ex-
Governor Tillman made bitter speech
in opposition to the idea of division.
He was answered by John c. Shep-
pard and Lieutenant Governor Tim
norman, hoth of whom stood up for
peace and harmony. BY vote of "a
to so, it was decided that all candidates
should take their chances in the pri-
mary and be voted for regardless of
factional affiliations.
Aged 1875 Years.
Old Aunt Kitty Watson, colored,
supposed to be the oldest person in
the State, died at her home in Ander-
son on the 10Th of June. She was
supposed to be 125 years of age, and
claimed to remember the surrender OF
Cornwallis and other incidents of the
Revolutionary war. She was brought
to South Carolina from Virginia by the
grandfather of the Hon. ]. Belton
Watson, of Anderson, Oh whose place
she lived at the time of her death.

DO IT Now.-This is for you, boys
and girls. 1t is a bad habit-the habit
of putting off. If you have something
that you are to do, do it now, then it
will be done. That is one advantage.
If you put it off, very likely you will
forget it and not do it at all. Or else
what, for you, is almost as bad-you
will not forget; but keep thinking of it
and dreading it, and so, as it were, be
doing it all the time. "The valiant
never taste death but once" never
but once do the alert and active have
their work to do.
once read of boy that dropped so
in health that his mother thought she
must have the doctor to see him. The
doctor could find nothing the matter
with the boy. But there the fact was,
he was pining away, losing his appe-
tite, creeping about languidly, and his
mother was distressed. The doctor
was non-plussed.
"What does your son do? Has he
any work ?"
"No; he has only to bring pail of
water every day from the spring. But
that he breads all day long, and does
not bring it until dark"
"Have him bring it the first thing in
the morning." was the doctors pre-
scription.
The mother tried it and the boy got
well. Putting it off made the job
prey on the boys mind. "Doing it
now" relieved him.
Boys and girls, do it now.

'DoN'T TAKE BABY ON THE WHEEL
Among the many foolish extremes to
to which parental fondness runs, none
is more insensate than the carrying Of
infants on bicycles, says Cycling. So
long as the machine holds up, the bit
of humanity is safe, being so fastened
that it cannot fall off. But there is
nervous tension throughout, as may
be clearly seen from the frightened
and anxious look on the baby's face.
The vibration, too, tells seriously on
immature nerves, while, if there is
nip in the air, the motionless child is
apt to become deadly cold. All this,
however, is nothing as compared with
an upset. Even the most experienced
riders cannot assure themselves against
"side slipping" when the surface is
slippery; all they can do is to save
themselves by jumping off the ma
chine before it lies on the ground.
But the baby is bound to see the mat
ter out to the bitter end &; its too fond
parent cannot protect it from smash,
however much he may try. 1t is much
the same in collisions; the adult rider
can do something to break his fall, or,
if with heavy vehicle, can roll out of
the way after coming to the ground:
But the unhappy infant has to stand
the racket in both cases. We fancy
there would be very limited number
of wheelmeu on the roads if the exi-
gencies of the pastime rendered it COM
pulsory for the riders to be fastened to
their seats.

CHOOSING THE LESSER EVIL.-One
of the California pioneers the other
day told the Washington Post story
of stump speaking in the Golden State.
A turbid orator, so noted for his ver-
bosity and heaviness that he had been
dubbed melancholy" McCullom, was
assigned to speak at mining camp
in the mountains. There were about
so miners present when he began.
But when, at the end of a couple
ple of hours he gave no sign of finish
ing, his listeners dropped away. Some
went hack to work, but the majority
sought wherewith to quench their
thirst. which had been immensely ag-
gravated by the dryness of the dis
course.
Finally there was but one auditor
left, dilapidated, weary-looking old
fellow. Fixing his gaze on him,
McCullom pulled out mans size six
shooter and laid it on the table. The
old fellow rose slowly and drawled
out:
"Be YOU goin' to shoot, eff I go?"
"You bet I am" responded McCul-
lom. "I'm bound to finish my speech,
even if 1 have to shoot to keep an au-
dience."
The old fellow sighed in a tired
manner, edged off slowly, saying as
he did so:
"Well, shoot, eff you want to. 1
NAV lest as we'll be shot as talked to
death"

A PATIENT IN PERIL.-At a certain
summer resort there was local doctor
who was rapidly becoming wealthy by
his practice among the invalids who
came to that section in quest of health.
But there was one patient whose case
puzzled him. The rural practitioner
thus refers to him in communication
which he sent to another doctor:
"Dear dock-I hav a pashunt who's
phisicol sines shoes that the windpipe
has liberated of, and his lung hav

GIVING THE TEACHER SOMETHING.
A certain young teacher in one of the
public school suffers all the pleasures
and Inconvenience of being idolized
by her boys. The children demon
strate their affections in various ways,
and one of their greatest pleasures is
"giving the teacher something" The
other morning little chap slid up to
the desk with box in his little red
paw, and, pressing it into his teachers
hand, said in a whisper:
"There, brought them for you
"What is it, dear ?" said the teacher.
"Oh! you look" with grin of sat
isfaction.
Untying the string she opened the
box, and behold there was a set OF
false teeth
"They are mammals" exclaimed
the child in a delighted tone; "they
are much prettier than yours, and /
brought 'em to you"
