all-suficient for most people, and
many are better off with meat only
once in the twenty.four hours. The
other meals should be slight, consist
ing of bread, butter, cheese, milk,
green vegetables and fruit.
There is an unfounded prejudice
against nuts, which are regarded as
indigestible, but that is because they
are eaten at the wrong time; both
fruit and nuts are excellent foods, but
they should be taken at the beginning
of breakfast or luncheon, instead of
at the end of the meal.
The dietary rules for lenten observ-
ance which the Catholic church i'm

were followed, not only by Catholics
during lent, but by everybody all the
year around.-Youth's Companion.

lust the same as though they had read 1t
all from the beginning, we here give
synopsis of that portion of it which mas
already been published:

learns that he is endowed with the strength
of Samson. but that he must not use the
pift except of necessity. III.-The young
Samson, who has tested his strength,
meets in Harold o. Westcott, physical
double. born upon the same day. Harold
is a bachelor of great wealth and with
out ties. Harmon reveals MS secret
and by way of example lifts an Inn,

decide which of the two, the drunk
ard or the fool, was more stupid and
helpless. He took two fair specimens,
and after shutting them up in grass
hut, he ordered this to be set on fire.
AS soon as the fool felt the heat he
made desperate efforts to get out and
thus saved himself. The drunkard, on
the contrary, lay like log and was
burned to death. Then the king said:
"There is no doubt; the fool is better
off THAI the drunkard. There is a
glimmer of reason left in him. There
fore, if fool does something wrong,
I shall punish him, so as to deter him
from doing it again. But the drunk
ard, who is dead drunk, has no knowl-
edge of what he does. Therefore,
even if he should smite me, the king,
in the face, I would not resent it. He
is below fool"

SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN.
Primary Has Been Arranged For Au
gust 81.

Primary Has Been Arranged For Au-
The state executive committee met
in Columbia last Tuesday night for the
purpose of taking action in regard to
the state senatorial campaign.
After due deliberation, 1t was decided
that, under the rules of the party,
there was no other way for it than that
there should be canvass of each one
of the 40 counties in the state. 1t was
agreed that the first primary should
be held on Tuesday, August 81, and
the second, if necessary, IA days later.
BY resolution, it was agreed that all
candidates must pay their fees and file
their pledges on or before the first day
of the campaign. The entrance fee
was fixed at 500, with the under
standing that one.half the amount is
to be returned to the defeated candi-
date.
A committee of six members was
appointed to arrange schedule for
the campaign. This committee met
on Wednesday morning, and agreed
upon schedule which provides for
the opening of the campaign at Sum-
ter, on Monday, July 5, and the closing
at Florence on August %. The dates
of meetings in York and adj joining
counties are as follows: York, Thurs
day, August 12; Chester, Wednesday,
August H.; Lancaster, Friday, Au-
gust 13; Cherokee, Thursday, July
20; Union, Monday, July 25.
York was represented at the meeting
of the executive committee by D. E.
Finley, ESQ.,; Chester by T. ]. Cum
ningham Cherokee by T. B. Butler.
Union and Lancaster were not repre-"
sented.

lYEREATING.

1t has been computed by some one
fond of mathematical calculations and
antithetical conceits that if the food
which is consumed in Great Britain
not only in excess of need, but to the
actual harm of the eaters, could be
saved and sent to India, it would more
than supply the wants of the starving
thousands in that country.
This computation is of course little
more than a guess, but it serves to en-
phasize the fact that many. perhaps
the majority of mankind above the
ranks of the very poor, sin against
themselves daily by overeating.
An English hygienist of repute says
that large proportion of the ills which
afflict men past the middle of life are
due to errors in diet, chiefly in the
direction of excess in quantity. He
even goes 80 far as to make the delib-
crate assertion that more mischief in
the shape of lessened resisting powers,
actual disease and shortened life comes
to the inhabitants of northern Europe
from their habit of eating than from
their abuse of alcoholic liquors.
And what is said of Englishmen ap-
plies with equal force to Americans.
We not only eat too much and too Of
ten, but we eat food that is too nutri-
tious in proportion to its bulk in 9TH
er words, we eat too much meat.
Not only are gout and rheumatism
favored, or, as some eminent authori-
ties contend, solely caused by too
much meat, but even certain tumors
are thought by many to be fastened
in their growth by the same means.
For the majority of city dwellers,
especially brain-workers, three meat
meals a day are too many; two are

WRONG FATHER.
Little Mistake That Caused Young Man
Lot Of Agony.

Little Mistake That Caused q Young Man
Lot Of Agony.
He was frequent visitor at the
home of the. young lady. He favor.
ably impressed her sisters and mother
by his digni6ed behavior and sensible
conversation. He would probably have
had the same gratifying effect upon
her father, but as the latter was CON-
pletely immersed in his business he
was at home very little of the time,
and when he was he generally betook
himself to his study in a quiet corner
of the house. The young man had a
dim recollection of being introduced
to him once, and speaking word or
80, but since that time had not seen
him at all. However, this didn't
bother him much, and his love affair
came to focus rapidly.
When he asked the young lady to
become his wife she referred him to
her father.
"I'll see him tomorrow, DEAR" he
replied.
"No, I don't think you can," she
answered, shes going out of town on
q long business trip tomorrow even
ing, and so will not be here when you
come"
The next day he turned up at the
place of business of his idols father.
He knew he was president of the con.
cern. He made his way into the
presidents Office and there confronted
very busy gentleman, indeed. Ask
ing for a moment of the latter's time,
he said : II have come to ask you for
your daughters hand"
The man addressed stopped, turned
around and looked at him moment,
and then said? "I'm sorry to tell you;
young man, but my daughter was
married week ago."
Without waiting for an explanation,
the horror stricken suitor rushed from
the building. He hailed cab and
drove madly to the young lady's home.
"What-what does it-all mean ?" he
gasped, as soon as he saw her.
"Spesk What does it mean! have
Just seen your father at the Office and
he says you were married week
ago."
"Why, Henry" she CALCULATED, in q
tone of astonishment, "my father? !?
Why, he left for New York last night" :"
A little further conversation reveal
ed the fact that Henry had been talk
ing to his partner.-Chicago Times

OLD sUPRRSTlTIONs. i

The superstitions which have clus.
tered about the closing scene of hu-
man life are almost innumerable;
some, perhaps the greater portion,
now seem to be meaningless, but few
had in early days significance which
they have since lost. The stopping
of the clock at the moment death
occurred in the house is still practiced
in many families in this country and
Europe, says the st. Louis Globe
Despatch, and originated in the fact
that according to the laws of several
European states, it was necessary to
have the exact moment of births and
deaths occurring in the royal family.
When q king died, an attendant wa'
always present whose duty it was to
stop the clock in the royal apartment
at the moment the death occurred,
and the timepiece WAS thus mute
record of the event. From royal fam
lilies the descent of this practice to ar
istocratic and, finally, to families Of
low degree was easy, and many per-
sons adopted it as mere superstition
without knowing anything of its
former significance.
Turning the lookingglass to the wall
is a superstition which is said to have
originated in the country districts of
Germany during the days when mir.
rors were novelties. Mirrors of glass
with quicksilver backs are said to have
been made at Venice in 1900 A. D.,
and were first made ir Egland in 1873,
but did not come into use among the
common classes until the beginning Of
the last century. At first they were
regarded with superstitious awe, the
idea being that the reflection OF the
face in the mirror was a sort of spec
tre or second soul of the individual.
When a death occurred, the looking.
glass which the person was accustomed
to use was turned to the wall, lest his
ghost should de disturbed by others
using the mirror before his spirit had
finally departed from the neighbor-
hood, there being an idea that the
spirit of the departed fingered about
the vicinity for several hours, or, per-
haps days, after it had separated from
the body.

found the implement and began click.
ing it as aimlessly as before.
Il was cleverly done. But nothing was
palmer than that the whole incident
had been arranged to give him a'sloser
view Of the envelope If 80, be succeed
ed, though I was at loss to understand
why he should desire TO do that. The
fact that he was thus interested caused
me vague uneasiness
While playing the part of a friend
Mr.. Covey Cone might be the enemy
who was to bring about my undoing.
Twas vexed that the next day passed
without bringing call or line from
Detective Cone. Even though ! had told
him there was no special haste in the
matter, yet it was 30 simple that he
ought to have attended to it within the
hour that the request was made OF him.
Meanwhile a dainty note arrived
from Jeanette saying she would expect
me that evening. So she did, but she
was disappointed, as was I, for no more
knew where to look for her than II set
down in the streets of London.
On the day following the all impor-
tant intelligence came in brief note
from Cone:
The parties in the carriage whose team ran
away in the park the other day and whom you
attempted to rescue were Mrs. Elizabeth Law
renee and her daughter Jeanette. Their home
ts No. - Madison avenue. Most astonishing
that you should forget the name and residence
of the young lacy to whom, II report ts to be
credited. you are engaged in marriage. Others
might not understand the reason, but your ex'
planation makes 1t clear to me-.
Immediately dispatched brief note
to Miss Lawrence saying that / felt
strong enough to call and would do 30
that evening
And that opened up the all impor-
tant question as to how should conduct
myself in her presence. There seemed
really but one course to follow. Itwould
be objectionable for me to deceive her.
She was the behothed of Harold, not of
Harmon, Westcott I must apprise her OF
my personality before our meeting
reached an embarrassing point for her.
1t was contrary to the agreement be-
tween Harold and me, which was that
not a living soul should become &C.
quainted with the truth, but the most
peculiar situation warranted this break
Of my pledge to him, and he would
thank me for it.
ToBE CONTINUED.
