Colonel Hiram Eckleton declares
that the Negroes should be again en-
shaved. He fought for the freedom Of
the colored gentlemen, yea, as sacred
writers remark, he made abolition
speeches previous to the war. His
views as hinted at above have under
gone striking revulsion.
Several weeks ago, believing that
chopping was the best kind of exercise,
he purchased several cords of oak, and
every morning proceeded to swing the
axe.
The other day, while he was chop.
ping, old John Carpenter, a colored
gentleman, came along, and asked:
"Boss, what will yer gin me to cut
dat wood up?"
"I'd rather pay you not to cut it."
"Wall, now, dat's 'commerdatin'

The old Negro went away. Two
days afterward the colonel received 8
summons to appear at court, having
been sued by old John. In rage, the
colonel appeared before Flat Nose

"Do you sell jean pants here?"
"Certainly, my frent," replied Hof.

The countryman took the panta.

When Hoffenstein finished his yarn
concerning the pantaloons the country
man smiled, and turning abruptly on
his heel, left the store.

signs of abating, and by noon we were
sailing upon summer sea. A rough,
temporary sail had been rugged, and
the boats head directed toward the
land, for, of course, we had given up all
hope of ever seeing the brig, for awhile
at least. If we would be saved, we had
got to rely upon our own resources.

days which succeeded, how the scorch-

our heads, and how the men with no.
BILE generosity surrendered their few
drops of water to the pale, suffering
woman, who never murmured once,
though her brain was all but on fire,
and her tongue parched and swollen in
her mouth.
"You can't imagine my feelings when
the last crumb of bread was exhausted,
and beaker had been drained dry.
Death in its most terrible form, with
the attending horrors of hunger and
thirst, stared US in the face, and I

the now inanimate form of the poor

already-and I stretched myself by

"Well, we were picked up shortly
after by Brazilian fishingboat, placed
aboerd a man-of-war cruising on the
coast, and the surgeon soon had US un-

us succumbed to the privations that
we had undergone, but recovered to
congratulate one another upon our
escape. The Senior Jose Gonzales fair
ly hugged me in his delight at the es-
cape of his daughter, and insisted upon
my making his residence my home.
The men were rewarded by him be-
yond their most sanguine hopes, and
well, I rewarded myself by marry

father died a few years ago, assumed
full control of the estates.

The eFittest
Survives.

THE battle OF life is a strugglein which
the fittest survives. This infexible fac
is interestingly illustrated in this stirring
up to date story, with the assistance o.
characters we'll known to our modern
society. There is an honest, practical
clear headed, self educated young lawyer
a young Harvard graduate, unexpected
thrown on his own resources in New
York, who finds his education insufficient
capital for business career; q hard head
ed old millionaire banker, who is great
stumbling block to the young man from
Harvard politicle boss who suspicious
ly resembles q certain famous politician
whom we have all heard Of; two lovely
loving and lovable girls, and the usual
complement of minor characters who
serve their purpose but do not particular
ly enlist our sympathies.
There are two love affairs running
through it all, with mystery, murder
and a suicide. What more could you
wish when these materials are in the
skillful hands of J. H. Connolly, one oi
the most accomplished story writers OF
the day?
"The Fittest Survives" is story OF
the times, with sparkling dialogue, STIR
ring scenes, exciting incidents and deli
cious humor. The plot is a good one, and
will hold your interest and keep you
guessing through to the end.
The publication of this story, 1.-The
Fittest Survives" will be commenced in
THE YoRKv1LLE ENQUIRER with the
issue of May 20, and the paper will be

was forced to apologize. Mr. Taylor is
a native of North Carolina, and is d

to eminence in the practice of law. His
argument before the United States Su-

constitutionality of the an1f-lottery law
won much praise from the legal pro

tie affected by outside causes. For
century indeed the only variation has
been an increase of value and rentals.
The duke is interested in many COM
mercial enterprises and railway and
other corporations, but, as was said,
the bulk of his belongings is in the
nature of real estate, business blocks,
market places, houses and farms. Ills
income ranges from $4,OOO,OOO to So,-
100000 annually 1t is not so great as
that of several Americans, whose ag-
gregate wealth is much less than that
of Westminster, but if their returns are
larger their risk is greater. The dukes
belongings, real and personal, amount
to about $175, 100000.
The dukes popularity is as great as
his wealth. If his position were cleo
tive and he were to resign, he would be
returned again at the next election.
He is a truly democratic peer-maklng
the true distinction between democracy
and the vulgarity and viciousness of
Aylesford, Queensberry and other no
torious aristocrats dead and alive. He
is beloved of his tenantry and admired
by people of ali classes whether they
are his dependents or otherwise. Ills
popularity was not gained in politics
or in diplomacy, but from association.
His hospitality is boundless and his
many ancestral seats are always filled
with guests. The fire is alight the

that his grace finds greatest joy. He is
a true sportsman, and is careless
whether farmers or princes accompany
him in the chase 1t is the game he
seeks, not society. He is the best judge
of p. horse in the United Kingdom, and
is not wholly theoretical in his informa-
ton. He can fit racing plate to

smith. His horses are the pride of his
life. His stud farm is the estate on
which his principal country seat, Eaton

The duke, who describes himself as
being ia the prime of life, was born
October 1S, 1895, and is now in his
seyenty-frst year. He has been mar
ried twice, the first time in 1862. His
wife was Lady Constance Gertrude
Leweson-Gower, daughter of George
Granville, duke of Sutherland. They
had eleven children, of whom six are
now living. The first duchess died in
1880, and in 1883 the duke married
katherine Caroline Cavendish, daugh-
ter of Lord Gresham. They have three
children.
In discussing the democratic ways
of the duke Englishmen relate the
story of stranger who desired to see
the art treasures of Eaton Hall. He
met an elderly man walking about the
grounds, and from his Dress which was
a semihunting costume and not too
new, thought the man to be retainer
of the duke. The stranger asked the
man to show him about the place,
which the person did, pointing out, ex-
planning and listening to the visitors
comments on the duke and the family
with interest andsreceiyed with thanks
half sovereign to requite him for his
trouble. The following day the visitor
rode out to the hunt and in the master
of the hounds, who was also lord lieu
tenant of the county and Duke of West
minister, he recognized his guide of the
day before. 1t is explained by the en-
thusiastic fellow countrymen of the
duke that the reason the great man did
not decline the ''tip" given him by the
visitor was his fear Of disconcerting
the stranger. 1t would have been so
utterly out Of character for an English
servant to decline money that the peer
would have been obliged to disclose his
identity to explain his refusal
