very exorbitant fee for obtaining a

"It is our usual charge, sir, when

there is opposition to overcome"

324 leaves, ending with the Psalms {;
the second has 317 leaves, and of the
whole it is said that it is the first book
ever printed with movable types.
The book was originally brought to
America in 1873, having been pur-
chased in London on order of Mr..
Brinley. When brought under the
auctioner's hammer the first bid made
was one of $4,000, that by ]. R. Bart
lett, who was present as agent of the
Carter Brown library of Providence.
The second bid was one of Sc, 1000, and
the third, S6,500. The bidders then
became more cautions, raising their
bids in sums of $3.50 at a time until
the price offered was $1,000. From
that time until the book was finally
knocked down to Hamilton Cole, a
New York lawyer, the contest was
wholly between himself and Brayton
Ives, the banker, who alternately
raised the price in sums of $3.50 each
until the price offered was $4,000.
Ives would not venture above that
figure, so the book was handed over
to Mr.. Cole.

Nothing Looks
Worse

THAN the cracking, pealing, scaling
l. off of paint from nicely built house,
and especially since such state of affairs
is so entirely unnecessary. 1t does not
cost any more to paint your house with
MASURY'S RAILROAD PAINT, than
it does with the most inferior. aubing'
ever used. 1t don't take as long to ap-
ply good paint as it does inferior, and the
dealer who sells inferior paint puts bis
''oilly tongue" against the best ingredi-
ents-pure oil, genuine lead and such 9th
er materials as experience has shown, to
be necessary to produce tenacity and du-.
rability, and only through ignorance of
its merit or to SECURE the difference il in
profit. MASURY'S PAINT can't be
sold for less than Sl.25 per gallon with
a profit, while the profit in almost all
other paints is more flexible than the
paint itself. But what do you accomplish
If YOU do save q few cents in the purchase
of bill of paints, if at the same time
you ruin your house? You can't afford
to experiment. With an experience Of 2l
years, say Masury's Railroad Paint has
no equal. T. b. McCLAlN.

A Snare
And DeluSiOn.

IF you have taken out life insurance
l. policy in an Old Line high price "level
premium" company with the idea that
you would at sometime in the future,
while you yet drew the breath of life, re-
ceive substantial cash returns or "big
dividends" we are here to tell you that
you will be disappointed. Your policy
will prove snare and delusion. 1t is
all right for protection for your wife and
children, as they will receive the face of
the policy in case Of your death, as they
would also in company that charges
you half as much. A life insurance poll
cy is fraud as an investment for living
man, and is the greatest blessing Of which
we or anybody else has any knowledge
as means of protecting the widow and
orphans, after the breadwinner has been
removed by death.

"G1yE IT TO HIM."-This court
room scene occurred in the early days
of the state of Vermont, when school
houses were used for court houses and
log stables were used for jails.
The circuit court was held at Berk-
shire Centre, when old Judge Ham
mond who was remarkable by his hav-
ing a crooked eye, presided. The case
on hand was one of tresspass and bad
attracted a full house. Everything
went on smoothly until the old judge
began to charge the jury, when ne
was rather severe on the defendant.
An eccentric person in the crowd, who
did not realize the dignity of court
room, jumped up and said:
"Give it to him, old gimlet eye."
The old Judge rose, and in a voice OF
thunder said "Who is that disturb
ing this court ?" The eccentric per
son replied: "Tt's me, old boss" "
Then says the Judge: "Here consta-
BILE, take that old horse and put him
in the stable" The consequence was
the court had to adjourn until the af.
ternoon in order to straighten the faces
of the officers and jury.
This story was told me when l was
a boy by venerable judge who had
in bis younger days studied law with
the "gimlet-eyed" judge.

Two ScLDIERs.-Colonel B. was

q farmer who some weeks ago, had
sold him load of very "crooked"
hay. The party in question is an
active professor of religion, and most
Jealous worker for his pocket. The
mans profession and practice being in
such a marked contrast, caused the
colonel to eye him with dislike. When
he came up, the colonel charged him
with deception in the matter of the
hay. The skinflint stoutly denied the
charge. The colonel drew himself
up at full height, and disdainly OBJ
served:
~ am soldier, sir-not liar"
$50 am I soldier" whined the
promoter of "crooked" hay.
"You !" exclaimed the colonel, in a
tone of disgust. "What kind OF a
soldier are you? ?"
"I'm soldier of the cross" said
skipfint, with flourish Of the hand.
"That may be-" said the colonel
dryly; "but you've been on a furlough
ever since 1 knew you"

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 S55O,0OO 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 100000,
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.

again later, and my second husband
died in a few years. I cremated him,
