What Love Can DO.

They tell a good story of young mar
ried man living in Philadelphia, says the
Philadelphia Record. When he and his
bride went upon their wedding tour they
spent several days in Washington taking
short trips to nearby points of interest.
On the first day of their arrival at the
national capital, the bridegroom was led
into an exhibition of temper by discover
ing that his watch had stopped. He
searched all his pockets to find a key to
wind it up again, but could find none. He
was very much put out about it. He was
too busy to see a matchmaker about it,
and so for two days he went about at a
considerable disadvantage, not being able
to keep track of trains. On the third day,
while on a train returning from Mount
Vernon or some such interesting place,
the bridal couple was approached by an
old friend. The three had a pleasant chat,
and the bridegroom finally asked the
friend for a watch-key. The latter furn-
ished one. The bridegroom opened the
back case of his watch, looked bewilder-
ed blushed wildly, and finally handed
back the key. His watch was a stem-win-
der. and he had forgotten all about 1t,
although he hRd carried 1t for three
years,

An Accommodating Party.
From the Macon Telegraph.

The populist party is a particularly ac-
commodating one-always ready to enter
into any alliance that will give 1t a chance
at the offices. In North Carolina, where
II Is controlled by Senator Butler, its ma
tional chairman, It has just fused with the
republicans. In Texas, Louisiana and
other southern states IL is likely to do the
same thing. While in some western states
II is allied with the democrats. Nation
ally II is in alliance partially at least
with the democratic party. Everywhere
II exists, collectively and in detail, it is
willing to make a trade with any party
that will give IL a chance to Gust those
at present holding the offices. 1t accom-
modates itself to circumstances with a
facility that is really phenomenal. Never
was there a party like It before.

Three thousand people called upon Mai.
Mckinley at Canton on Friday, accord
ing to the press dispatches, and he shook
hands with all Of them. The Mckinley
hand-shake," it is understood, requires
that the pump-handie motion shall be
given three times, which would make 5000
times that the candidate pump-handled
on that day. The correct thing for one
to do is to say, "Howdy-do; glad to see
you" or something like that, 10 each per-
son he shakes hands with. Now if any
body has an idea that the lot of a cand-
date for the presidency is a happy one.

The appellate court of New York held in
a decision rendered few days ago. that
street car company was liable for inju-
ries to man who was riding on the front
platform of a street car. This was a re-
versal of the decision of the court below,
which held that the man was guilty of
contrfbutory negligence by standing on the
platform when there were vacant seats
in the car. The higher court puts stress
upon the fact that the man went to the
front platform upon the permission of the
conductor, who told him there was no
other place on the car in which he might
smoke. and his injuries were due to the
cars running off the track

much of ignorance, injustice and sever
ity. Too often intolerance of opposing
views marks a discussion Of the ques-
tlons of the campaign. Ignorance sets
itself up as a teacher, and will not brook
the rivalry of information. 1t arrays class
against class and seeks to destroy that
confidence which is necessary to the well
being of society. The Southern Cultivator
speaks of the advice that has been given
in certain quarters to the farmers, that
they retaliate upon certain classes who
are alleged to be in opposition to them,
no evidence being furnished TO prove that
the classes to be attacked are really in
opposition to the farming interests. But
they are advised to retaliate upon gen
eral principles. This kind of thing our
contemporary condemns vigorously. To
retaliate means to produce friction,
whether there is good reason for adopt
ing that course of procedure or not. Re
taliation necessarily means fighting, and
fighting is always attended with disagree.
able consequences. Fighting in a good
cause is to be commended. But deiber-
ately making enemies and injuring one 5
self to please self-seeking politicians. is
the poorest business that farmer ever
engaged in.
The farmers ought, of course, to be
united for the advancement of their mu-
tual interests. But their interests are not
to be advanced by destroying
other interests that are as le-
ultimate as their own. There are
trusts that deserve to be fought, tooth
and nail. And the way to fight them is
for the farmers to trust one another and
their reputable business associates. Glass
retaliation will not do. 1t is a boomer
ang. Wise farmers will not let politicians
induce them to throw 1t. They will rath-
er be guided in their political dealings,
as in their private affairs. by wisdom.

How Judge Humes Got His Deer

How Judge Humes Got His Deer.
This story, says the Seattle Post-Intel-
ligencer, is told by W. H. Morris, an eye
witness: Judge Humes and myself took
a trip last Saturday afternoon to Green
river in the vicinity of Palmer, for a
days fishing. We camped near the river
that night, about three and a half miles
east Of Palmer The next morning we
started in fishing and had great luck,
successfully landing IT'S Along in the af-
ternoon l was fishing in sort of canon,
where the water was fifteen or twenty
five feet deep. Below me on a sort of spit
was the judge, his homely dog sitting at
his side.
Suddenly there was a noise in tire
bushes above the judge, and pretty doe
appeared on the bank of the river The
dog jumped for the doe, and the doe took
to the water. The dog followed, and in a
moment was on the does back and had
her by the ear. The doe dived to get rid
of the dog and was successful As she
came up the judge fired a stone at her,
but missed. The next time he was sue
cessful the missile striking the animal III
the eye and stunning it. Fearing that
the body would sink, the judge plunged
boldly into the water, clothes, boots and
hat on and with his one arm swan to
the animal which he grappled and held.
With his hunting knife he cut the doe 5
throat and then swan ashore, where sew
erdl loggers had gathered. One of them,
who had a. revolver, claimed the deer on
the ground that he had jumped it, The
judge said nit and held the fort. After

Is a series of dramatic events impending
in Europe? 1t begins to look so. The re-
port that the powers have decided to de-
throne Abdul Hamid and install another
sultan is repeated with great persistence
The powers admit the necessity for the
adoption of radical measures-measures
which involve the stripping of the present
sultan of his power for mischief. Such a
step means the reopening of the eastern
question, and the reopening of that ques-
ton is likely to be followed by war. 1t
seems to be understood that the English
government, pushed by public sentiment
in England, is determined to force a crisis
The London Standard, as reported in a
New York Sun cable, said Friday: "Is
there no way by which this scandal to
civilization in the dominions of the sui
tan can be stopped without a European
war? Surely if the arts of diplomacy are
exhausted as between the powers and the
present sultan, another occupant might
be found for the somewhat perilous
throne he has disgraced. The rule of
Abdul Hamid is not indispensable to the
preservation of the Ottoman empire 1t
is inconceivable that he should be suffered
to render nugatory the efforts of the pow
ers to discharge their obligations toward
the Christian races within his dominions
With all their resources, moral and ma
terial, it ought to be possible for the pow
ers to bring the sultan's era OF government
by massacre and outrage to an abrupt
close, either with him or without him."
The demand for a strong policy appears
to be general in England. and is appar-
emily favored by other powers. Stirring
events on the Bosphorus may occur soon

The recent primaries in South Carolina
developed an instance illustrating the "in-
gratitude of republics" although upon a
somewhat diminished scale. Probably no
man in the state has worked harder and
more constantly for the upbuilding of
party and section than Mr.. S. H. Rogers
of Port Royal. In season and out Of sea-
son he has fought for democracy, for
the county of Beaufort and for the port
of Port Royal, giving the best years Of
his life to the work. Some time ago Mr..
Rogers was invited to stand for the Office
OF clerk of the court, but at the primary
he was defeated by man who has lived
in the county not more than six years,
and whose public services have been in
initesimal as compared with those of Mr..
Rogers. The only conclusion to be reach
ed. 1t would seem. is that Beaufort does
not appreciate its best men.

Dxnamitine the Dog.

AS Washington Star reporter was
browsing around one of the downtown ho-
tells the clerk pointed out to him tall
gangling boy of IS or 10, lolling all over a
chair in front Of a window commanding a
view of the avenue and apparently having
a first rate time to be 50 far away from
home The clerk took the reporter over to
the boy after a minute or two and intro
duced him with the remark that the re-
porter wanted to know about that fish
story.
Well" smiled the youngster, ut wasn't
so much of a fish story as it was a dog
story, and it wasn't so much a deg story
after 1t was all over as it was 'sWshefi we
first took the dog out with US. You see, it
was this way: Four or five of US young
fellers about two or three weeks ago took
notion we'd go a-hshin', and we took
dog along. He was d nice little dog that
was so fond Of water that people swore
he'd never been raised in kentucky; but
he was. He was my dog, and 1 ought to
know. We was fshin' in a pond, and af
ter about three hours of it we didn't git
SMELL much less a bite, and somebody
come along and said the way to fish
pond was with dynamite
All we had to do was to sling a cart
ridge in, let her blow up and we'd have
fish to carry home on freight train. The
cusS that told US was a railroad hand and
and If we'd so down there we could get
for half a dollar enough to shoot all the
fish in the county. Me and another Teller
went along with him and they fixed up a
cartridge tied to a fioater, and all we had
to do was to light the fuse, sling it in the
pond and run like the devil. The dyna-
mite would do the rest. We forked over
the half dollar-course, they bought whis-
ky with it-and went back to the pond,
where the others was waitin.
"Then we follered directions, but we for
got the dog; and when l slung in the car
fridge and the float, the dog he give a
yelp of joy, and, bang! he went in after it.
He got it, too, and started for shore with
it, though we fired rocks at him and
howled our lungs out to make him let it
go. That's the kind of a dog he was; he
never did know what to let go was. Well,
we seen we couldn't stay around there and
we went a-whoopin', and the dog came
after u.s. dragging the dynamite, for 1t
wasn't heavy, and catching up with US at
forty miles an hour.
HE was friskin' his tail and yelpin',
pleased most to death, and we was Citing
scareder for we knew that stuff was go
ing off pretty soon and when it did there
was going to be heavy thunder. I don
know what would have happended if it
hadn't a-been for a fence that we got
over. The dog couldn't get the float
through the cracks, and while he was
dragging at it and barkin' fit to kill, that
cartridge went off right by his nose, and
when we got on our feet again at the foot
of the hill we couldn't see anything of dog
nor floater nor about four panels of fence.
They all went together and we felt so
thankful when we picked ourselves UP
that we organized a prayer meeting right
there and sung a hymn"
