Guess She Wasn't Much American.

An American Woman" in the Lon
don Daily Chronicle describes the aver
age Englishman as "a superior being,
of active brain, much travel, experience
with women and a certain desire to
please. American men are an eccentric
growth, hodge podge flung together IL
agalloping money grabbing civilization,
not fully known to themselves. :" She
adds, In America we all like our IA
theirs and brothers, but we haven't any
great admiration for our husbands, al
though we may be fond of them in a
patronizing way. %

The Columbia correspondent ofthe
News and Courier was arrested II
Columbia the other night for not
knowing on as spontaneously as a
policeman desired. The policeman
no doubt, thought he had struck big
game and would with one stroke
hoist himself into fame. Everybody
knows Mr.. Kohn to be not only a
law abiding citizen, but a gentleman
and his treatment deserves dis
missal from the force of this smart
aleck policeman.

Mr.. Pattoa's redistricting bill has
been postponed until the next session.
The people will now have time to
think of such an important matter
and their representatives will be able
to vote more in accordance with the

the newspapers will get chance to
discuss it and arouse sufficient inter.
est to prevent anything like snap

TEXAS hUMOR.
How Legislators joke Was Made Int
Law to His Surprise.


Law TO His Surprise.
Ever one knows that Phil Sheridan
said cf Texas, IF I owned Texas and
he'll, I'd rent Texas and live in hell. -
Possibly out of respect for so great q
man the Texans answer was suppressed,
but it was good just the same. He said
with great promptness, Well, gin'r'l,
yer know & cusS alters will take up fer
the place lie cum frum. y
Tie Texan has a strong sense Of hu-
NOR, and it manifests itself IN other
ways than reDartee. The legislator who
proposed that all trains running into
Texas should be detained for ten min
utes at the state line and required to
whistle three times in acknowledgment
of the sovereignty Of the state didn't
expect to be taken seriously. He wasn't;
but his colleagues thought it would be
sucn a good joke en- the railroads that
they made tie suggestion law and for a
time religiously enforced it.
The Texas women have their share OF
humor, and they can be sarcastic, too,
as the following conversation between
the daughter Of 4 Texas congressman
and New Yorker at Washington ball
testifies:
"You ere from Texas?" the New
Yorker said in very much the same tone
that he would have used had he asked
if she was from Hawaii OF some other
remote place.
eyes" she said, smiling sweetly.
"Lots Of cowboys out there, he said,
like a man who knew.
eyes" she said doubtfully.
you've seen some Of course:"
"Oh, yes" This in tone of conVic-
tion.
In what part Of the state?" he went
On.
"Oh, I didn't see any cowboys in
Texas The ones I saw were on Broad
way, New York New York Sun.

HOV OIr Success Was Won

First of all it was by hard labor and close at
tention to business; in the second place it was won
by selling tirst-class goods at the lowest living
prices; and in the third place it won by the
hearty support of our many friends from all parts Of
the county.
Last September two years ago we unfurled our
banner enscribed upon it QUICK SALES AND
SMALL PROFITS FOR THE CASH ONLY.
Though small as it was, the people saw it, and they
saw what was inscribed upon it and they saw the
standard bearer and they saw that he meant bust
ness. They aocked to our standard from all quar-
ters and the result was an unprecedented success.
Last December one year ago the fire came and
swept US from the face of the earth and many
thought that our Great Cash Store was no more, but
it was only an incentive to rise in greater splendor

Under the county government law
it takes a majority Of the board to
approve the bonds of county officers
and as the board meets quarterly, 1t
causes an embarrassing condition OF
affairs. The county treasurer and
audit.er are nominated attedi IN primary
and afterwards appointed by the gov
ernor; the board does not have It's
next meeting until April and the ap-
pointment Of these Offices could not
be made before the last meeting OF
the board, now while these officers
stand ready to file their bonds they
cannot become commissioned until
their bonds are approved, and they
will be forced to wait until April be-
fore being commissioned. We think
the law should be amended to cover
this defect.

HELP YOURSELF.

&c. II. Anders IN Baltimore Americana
Help yourself but not by grasping
All that's good for selfish gain;
Gather what the passing moments
Bring in reach of hand and brain;
So that, with purpose noble,
You may hold, for others good,
That which helps a poorer brother
Who may stand where you have stood.
Help yourself, but not 10 honors
That another fairly won;
Neither join the victors only
When the hardfought battles dome
For the bravest do not carry
Standards from the field of fight,
But into the trying conflict,
Bearing this: For God and Right"
Help yourself, but not by casting
Down some noble, struggling soul.
Who has not your strength or prestige,
Battling for a longed-for goal.
God, and godlike men, will honor
Every aid to virtue given:
Help yourself by helping others,
Earning the well done from heaven.

ARTISTS models. A young woman

against man who had promised to
marry her, but had been alarmed by the
discovery that instead of sitting for the
head alone she had also sat for the figure,
though not without drapery. The deci-
sion of the court was that the profession
is respectable, and that she was entitled
to damages.
