An italian legend gives the following
as the origin Of dominos Two monks
who had been committed to a lengthy
seclusion contrived TO beguile the dreary
hours of their confinement without
breaking the rule of silence by showing
each other small fat stones marked with
black dots. By a preconcerted arrange
ment the winner would inform the 9TH
er of his victory by repeating in an IN
dertone the first line Of the vesper
prayer In process of time the two
monks managed to complete the set of
stones and to perfect the rules Of the
game, so that when their term Of incar-
ceration had expired the game was gen
orally adopted by all the inmates Of the
convent as a lawful pastime. 1t very
soon spread from town to town, and be-
came popular IN Italy, and the first line
CT Abe vespers was reduced to the single
word domino. by which tho game has
since been known.
This is ingenious and interesting, but
absolutely unscientihc. Science tells us
That dominos are a natural evolution

to sign in the place of Herr Alvary,
who was i'll. He sang Tristan" in

4 Small
Spot May
Be Cancer!

1t is very often that the most insig-
nihcaut symptoms are fOrerunueTs of
the most violent disease. There is
not a more destructive disease than
Cancer, and in a majority Of cases it
is first indicated by a very small sCab
or sore, to which no attention is at
tracted, until it before long develops
into most alarming conditions.
Here is such a case, where the first
symptoms were too small to be noticed
for quite a time. Mr.. j. B. Arnold be
longs to one Of the oldest and best
families OF Caroline; he is well and
favOrably known throughout South
Carolina, and has resided at Green
wood for years. Cancer is hereditary
ia the family, an aunt on each side
having died from it. Several years
ago a small spot, like tiny ulcer
about the size Of a bird-shot, appeared
just under his left eye, above the cheek
bone. He thought nothing Of it for
some time, until 1t began to grow rap
idly, spreading all the time, and de-
strOying the flesh as it went.

Lett w n6n the Bridge IS Done.
Commissioner Scott Kelsey thinks
that the commissioners should not sell
the entire issue of bridge bonds. The

issued for the purpose of erecting a
bridge across the Kansas river and the
bonds were contracted for by Deitz.
Dennison & Prior for $3.50, 500
The lowest bid for the bridge was
S125,000 and the cost of the plans S4-

This would leave in the fund after

Commissioner Kelso thinks that some
arrangements might be made to save
that amount and the interest by not
issuing the bonds for more than $135-
600. If the firm which has a contract
for the bonds takes them they would
probably refuse such an arrangement.
but if they are sold elsewhere Commis-
