PUTTING IT STRONG.-At rare inter-
vals along the mountain roads of West
Virginia and Kentucky the traveller
may come upon a blacksmith shop,
but he is much safer in the shoeing Of
his horse if he will carry a few nails
and tools in the bottom of his buggy,
says the Washington Star. On trip
by Pound Gap on one occasion I found
q blacksmith shop at the forks of the
road, and, as usual, half dozen or
more men sitting around it in the
shade. My turnout needed some re-
pairs, and as the smith was pottering
about it inside, I made talk with the
men outside. One of them wanted to
sell me a mule which he had hung up
on the fence, and started in for a
dicker. After we had been talking for
perhaps a quarter of an hour, the
smith asked me to step inside and
show him something about the work
he was doing. AS soon as he got me
away from the crowd he came close
and grew confidential.
"Y'ain't thinkin' Nv buyin' that crit
ter, air you ?" he asked, in all sim
cerity.
"Well, don't know. I want mule
and that one looks all right" said.
"You can't tell mule by his looks,
mister. Mules is fer all the world like
women"
"What's the matter with him ?" ]
inquired, quite ignoring the compar.
ison.
"He amt safe. Course I amt got
nothin' ag'in the mule ner the owner,
and I'd be glad enough fer him to git
the money fer him, fer he owes me fer
the shoein' Nv him, but don't like ter
see stranger tuck in an done up like
he's tryin' to do you"
"But you haven't told me what's the
matter with the mule" I insisted.
"Will he kick ?"
"That's his weakness, mister" re-
sponded the smith, letting his voice
fall to a whisper. "You won't believe
me, p'raps, but I'm tellin' you he's the
kickin'est critter in the mountains.
He shore is, mister, and I hope 1 may
die right here eff he can't kick the
sody outen a biscuit an never crack
the crust. He kim, mister, er I'm a
brother to him."

whose husband was i'll in bed sent for

said, on leaving, (Which must be taken

After he had gone the old woman

PICKED OUT THE EGGS HERSELF -
The other day woman went into a

laid by black hens"

got the best of me this time. don't

LET NOT THE SUN Go Down ON
Your WRATH.-A little boy had been
naughty at dinner and had been sent
away from the table just as his favorite
dessert-cabinet pudding, with butter
and sugar sauce-was being served,
says the Chicago News. About 9
o'clock that evening, when the other
children had gone to bed and his pa
rents were alone in the sitting room,
tear.stained little face and white
robed figure appeared at the door.
"Mamma," it said, bravely, between
sobs, "you told me never to 60 to sleep
when anything wrong had been done
until it was all fixed up right, so |
came down to tell you that-that-
that-I-forgive you and papa for
what you did to me at the dinner
table,"

WHY Cocks CROW AT DAY BREAK.
A cock crows at different times and
for different reasons, but his morning
vociferations, strange as it may appear,
are really intended as love-song to
call the members of his harem from
their slumbers. This has been proved
by observation of those Of his relations
who are still in the state of nature.
The peculiar, pungent freshness which
pervades the air at the approach OF
Gavin is supposed to specially excite
the respiratory centres of the cock s
brain, and the result of this stimulus
is the crow. Cocks, like all other
birds, are very sensitive to atmospheric
changes, and almost any fluctuations
will set them Growing. The crow OF
defiance or triumph is, of course, the
expression of mental and not ply
sical sensation.

If You Have
No Insurance,

And think you should have, we would be
pleased to explain the Mutual Reserve
System to you. The Mutual Reserve is
the largest and strongest natural premi-
um company in the world, and the fourth
largest of ANY KIND. 1t has paid
about $3.50, 900 to the widows and orphans
of deceased policy-holders in South Car
lima alone, during the past twelve years,
and if all the insurance now carried in
old line companies in the state was in the
Mutual Reserve, not less than S4OO, 600,
which now annually goes into the Golfers
of the former, would be left in the state
to help relieve the hard times about which
we hear so much.

a horse ran away with one Of the famous
Rock Hill buggies, sold by Mr.. jeff Mill
sap, and went nearly five miles before
being stopped, many times quitting the
road and running through the woods
at full speed, and once jumped from an
embankment eight feet high, and when
brought back to town the only thing
found to be broken was one shaft. This
is a proof that the best is the cheapest. y

clambered aboard.
Their officer stated that their orders
were to apprehend General Porfrio
Diaz, who was reported to be pas
senger, and also, if necessary, to search
the ship. Until this moment the full
significance of the adventure in which
be was involved had not been apparent
to Sands.
The captain, who knew nothing OF
the matter, protested that there was
no such person on board he called up
the passengers and bade the purser
show the list. But this by no means
satisfied the Mexican commandant ;
his orders compelled him to search the
vessel. Even the hold and stoke-hole
were overhauled and the fremen ex'
amined.
Purser Sands meantime kept busy
with his accounts and went about his
duties, as if unconcerned with the
search; be even left the window of his
room open and although the Mexican
officers did not quite 60 to the length
of searching the captains stateroom or
his own, he saw one Of them glance in
sharply at the window as he passed it.
Night came on, but still the soldiers
remained on board, watching all that
took place. Sentries were posted on
deck to see that no one either left the
ship or came off to her from the shore.
The Mexican officers believed that
General Diaz was on board, and as
they searched they had talked of the
$4,000 to be gained by discovering
him.
So closely watched were the move
ments of every one that the purser
dared not order food brought to his
stateroom but at table he managed
to secrete few bits in his pocket, and
these he smuggled into the closet at

He marries her off to a man

life is drearier than ever. A cir
