Cigarettes Again ON Sale.

Cigarettes won't be downed.
They are again on sale in Columbia,

cigarettes can be brought into the

came in and told them they might lnFs
three wishes and he would grant them.
OF course they were happy beyond ex-
preston, and as the old man was hum
CRY he wished right away for a plum
pudding. Immediately. it was set be-
fore him in o silver platter. and this
foolish wish made the old woman so
mad that she exclaimed: II wish that
1t was hung on your nose" Presto!
quicB the pudding jumped up and was
fastened to the old mans nose. They
had bat n wish left, and the old man
had to use that in wishing the pudding
loose again. And so the good genius
left them as poor as they were before
he came. I suppose hat fable was de-
signed to teach us that it is better to
trust the Lord and be content with our
lot. Nevertheless, most Of us would
try the genius if he would come.
Once more let me write of John
Quincy Adams and his beautiful poem
I have received it from just a o Of
good friends, but only two Of them have
the full poem of twenty stanzas Of eight
lines each. Some of them have IA, some
IL, and one only II. One from Mrs,
Holloman, of Eatonton, has not the last
%stanza. beginning:
These are the wants OF mortal man,
I annot need them long"
But has instead a stanza that 1 do not
find in any other copy. Which is the
revised version 1 do not know The
poem is remarkable not only for its
thought and felicity of expression, but
because its author, "the old mar elo-
quent," was the only president who
ever wrote a poem. or even a verse, so
far as we know.
As some of the lady correspondents
have suggested that Goldsmith was the
author of the lines:
MAN wants but little here below,
Nor wants that little long"
Let me say that Young preceded Gold
smith A years, and his expression is:
'Man wants but little, nor that little
long" Goldsmith only added a word or
two to make the measu fit his ballad.

"BLAoK Law" in ILLINOIS,.

Provisions Contained i'm the Statutes
After the War.
Long after the close of the late war
in the United States the law of the
sovereign state Of Illinois contained
this heartless provision:
NO black or mulatto person shall be
permitted to reside in this state unless
such person shall produce to the coun-
ty commissioners court where he or
she is DESTROYS of settling a certificate
OF his or her freedom; which certificate
shall be duly authenticated in the same
manner that is required to be done in
the cases arising under the acts and
judicial proceedings of other states.
And until such person shall have given
bond with sufficient security to the
people of this state for the use of the
proper county, in the penal sum of
81, 1000, conditioned that such person
will not at any time become a charge
of said county or any other county of
this state as u poor person, and that
such person shall at all times demean
himself or herself in strict conformity
with the laws of this state that now
or may hereafter be enacted, it shall
not be lawful for such free negro or
mulatto to reside in this state"
Another section read:
eff any person shall harbor such me-
gro or mulatto aforesaid, not having
such certificate thereof, or shall hire
or in any way give sustenance to such
negro or mulatto not having such GER
tificate of freedom, and not having
given bond, he shall be fined in the sum
of $500, one-half thereof to the use
of the county and the other half to the
party giving information thereof"
Although Illinois was adjoineu on
two sides by slave territory, yet prose
BUTTONS for violations of this odious
statute, commonly known as the black
law, were of rare occurrence within her
borders. Owen Loveioy, who drank so.
deeply and persistently at the fountain
of abolitionism that he has been com
pared to Otis, the flame of fire. in
the colonial days, brought down upon
himself the mighty arm of the law
for "harborning a certain fugitive slave
early as May, 1912; and early in the
following October he was again indict-
ed for the same offense in connection
with a certain negro girl named
Nance" in the circuit court of Bureau
county, Ill. Aside, however, from the
intervention of the law which men of
his violent stripe provoked by their
persistent hostility and defiant atti-
tude, we find but little evidence of the
enforcement of this statute in the ex-
listing court records of the state

some Interesting Points About Eng
1ish Kings and Queens.

Some Interesting Points About Eng-
Iish Kings and Queens.
At a time when the celebration OF
the longest reign is exercising the pub
lie mind so much it may be interesting
to turn back the pages of history for
a moment and consider the reigns of
those kings and queens who have pre-
ceeded Victoria the Good on the throne
of this country. From the time OF Egg
bert, the first king of all England, who
assembled the throne in s27 and reigned
for 10 years, until the present Gay, this
tight little island has had sc sovereigns,
excluding, of course, the two Crom-
wells of the commonwealth.
Deducting the ii years of the COM
monwealth, this gives us Sc reigns in
1859 years, or an average of a fraction
less than 10 years on the throne to
each of our kings and queens, so that
Queen Victoria has ruled over us for
more than three times the average OF
her predecessors.
George III, whose record has now
been broken by that of his g~randdaugh-
ter, reigned for 50 years, but for sew
eral years at the end of his sovereignty
be was in the dotage of an octogena-
rian, whose powers had not remained
unimpaired, and his rule during these
years was merely nominal. The next
longest reign to his was that of Henry
Ill, who occupied the throne for Sc
years, though he, on the other hand,
succeeded to that great office when he
was only nine years of age.
Edward III. was just permitted to at
tain his kingly jubilee when death
overlook him, and Queen Elizabeth
reigned for "A years, although she did
not come to the throne until she was
rs years of age. Other reigns OF 80
years or longer duration were those Of
Henry VI, 80 years, Henry VIII, 3s
years; Etheldred IL, 81 years; Henry
l., IS years; Henry H., IS years; Ed
ward l., IS years; George H., 80 years,
and Alfred, 80 years.
The two shortest reigns in English
history were those of Harold IL. and
Edward ", who both died in the same
year they succeeded to the throne.
By far the longest lived of our va
rious royal houses is the present reign
ing family. Including Queen Victoria,
there have been six Hanoverians whose
combined ages reach the total of 444,
while the ages of the seven members of
the Inflated house of Stuart total s63,
and as for the eight Plantagenets their
combined ages give us a total of 423
years, and the ages of the five sovereigns
of the house of Tudor make an aggre-
gate of 236.
Thus, if we take the average life, we
find that in the case of the house of
Hanover it stands at "A years; in the
case of the Stuarts, at slightly less than
SO years; the Plantagenets, at scarcely
SO, and the Tudors at a little over Al
years.-London Tit-Bits.

PA WAS IN TIME,

IuEeO Dy the WIDOW
Hand in hand they strolled through
the fields toward the upland pastures,
where he told her they would be able
to see for miles and miles along the
beautiful shore of the lake, with its
villas here and there, it's resorts'along
the beach and the little white owns
dotting the green stretches and helping
to form a panorama whose equal was
not to be found upon the continent.
land so you loved me from the very
first moment that you ever saw me?"
she said, with a radiant look upon her
sweet, freshly-calcimined c~ountenance.
"From the very first moment" he
fervently replied.
He was young and unused to that
sort of thing.
Young. inexperienced fellows always
become fervent when women who know
things look into their eyes and sigh.
"Ah, you trifer!" she said, with a
pout.
Darling" he cried, "do,not say that!
You know that 1 am fearfully in ear
nest. All, how terribly in earn"
But he had been gazing SO intently
at her that he had not seen the ant
hill in his path.
After she had helped to pick the burrs
out of his hair he went on:
"Do not say that I trife! No man
was ever more in earnest than I am now.
Do not judge me by others. Was your
first husband cruel to your"
Her gaze rested upon the turf and
she was silent for a moment. Then,
with an effort, she replied:
eyes, he was very, very cruel"
"Ah, the wretch!" exclaimed the
young man. 81 cannot conceive of any,
one being unbind to you. It seems to
me as though even the birds of the air
and the beasts Of the field must wor-
ship you. In what way was he cruel?"
"Oh, in a hundred ways" she said,
with another sigh, "but let us not talk
of him. Let us only be happy with each
other and enjoy the beauties of nature
that are spread out before us. Do you
know that I think you are the hand
soonest man I have ever seen?"
No had ever before called him
a man, and a thrill of ecstasy passed
through him. He was ready to fall
down at her feet and worship her, but
he had already lost one suspender but
ton, and therefore dared not assume
the risk. At last he said:
Darling. let us be married at once.
Do not compel me to wait until fall"
"Ah, you foolish mani" she replied;
"why are you in such a hurry?"
81 can't live without you," he an
swercd. "Say that you will not compel
me to wait"
SWELL" she said, with great relue-
lance, "if you insist upon hurrying, I
suppose I must humor you. How would
a week from next Thursday suit2"
He was unable to catch his breath for
a minute, but when he dad so he said:
"Ah, you darling! You dear girl!
How good of you'll"
Then they stopped and Rugged and
kissed each other, and might be at it
yet but for the fact that his big, un-
sentimental father popped out of a
fence corner and grabbed the boy by
the nape of the neck and whisked him
almost out of his knickerbockers.
When the "dear girl" recovered from
her surprise she was alone, and the next
time she met her "trifer" he had whis-
kers and three children. Also a pretty
well-grounded idea that he had once
come within an ace of making a bloom
