HARD ON THE LAwYER.-It is rela-
ted of George Clark, the celebrated
Negro minstrel, that being examined
as a witness he was severely interro-
gated by the attorney, who wished to
break down his evidence.
"You are in the Negro minstrel busi-
ness, I believe ?" inquired the lawyer.
ayes, sir" was the prompt reply.
"Isn't that rather a low calling ?"
demanded the lawyer.
II don't know but what it is, sir, )"
replied the minstrel; "but it is so
much better than my fathers that l
am proud of it,"
"What was your fathers calling?"
"He was a lawyer" replied Clark,
in tone of regret that put the au-
dience in a roar. The lawyer let him
alone.

CLOTHES OF A PRINCE. E.-The Prince
of Wales always orders eight suits at
time, and they are paid for at the
uniform price of $40, says The Argo-
naut. His trousers, too, always cost
o uniform price-$12 a pair. This
rule, however, does not apply to uni
forms and dress suits, of which latter
he uses ~ in year, at a cost of $50
each. The prince never wears pair
of trousers more than four times, and,
as his discarded clothes are not among
the perquisites of his valet, there is
stock of thousands of them at Marl-

A Snare
And DeluSiOn.
IF you have taken out life insurance

IF you have taken out a life insurance
l. policy in an Old Line high price "level
premium" company with the idea that
you would at sometime in the future,
ceive substantial cash returns or "big
dividends," we are here to tell you that
you will be disappointed. Your policy
will prove snare and q delusion. It 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 a means of protecting the widow and
orphans, after the breadwinner has been
removed by death.

If You Have
No Insurance,

And think you should have, we would he
pleased to explain the Mutual Reserve
System to you. The Mutual Reserve is
the largest and strongest, natural premi-
largest of ANY KIND. It 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 $400, 900,
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.

s@ "I'm proud of this town." said a
little man sitting behind the stove,
with pipe in his mouth. "Proud of
it," repeated the stranger at the bar,
who turned around as he heard the
words, and looked at the speaker with
a look of infinite contempt. "What
are you proud of it for ?" "That's an
easy one," returned the little man.
"There are four cemeteries, here, and
I've got wife in every one of 'em."

aged 35, was reading the fashion notes,
and when she struck the paragraph,

she tainted dead away, and remained

"Rubies are fashionable this season."

out on their perilous request.
eff we're not back by this time
tomorrow, boys, you'll know we've
gone under" observed Carson as coolly
as though he were going to picnic.
"But I rather think We'll come in.
Stay right here until tomorrow's sun
is an hour high, and if there's no news
of US then 60 ahead on your journey,
for We'll be past help"
1t seems that shortly after leaving
US Moulton had come within range OF
and had killed his elk, and was stoop-
ing down to cut off the hind quarters
for bringing to camp, when, before he
could fire another shot, he was pounced
upon by a score of Digger Indians,
who gagged him and bound his arms
in the twinkling of an eye.
Then, loading the carcass upon his
horse and forcing him to walk along,
they set off on their retreat, travelling
fast until night, when they bivouacked
by spring and had glorious feast,
the prisoner being meantime secured
to a tree.
Through the first part of the nj ight
he was watched by a brave who had
picked up smattering Of English and
who frequently consoled him by hiss
ing in his ear: ave no hurt paleface.
Him make good fire bimeby, and heap
fun," an oft-repeated assurance which,
after all, was not so very consoling.
Next morning, after another big
feast, the savages resumed their march
in leisurely manner, and before SUM-
set again halted for the night at a
spring.
