A PRIZE YARN.-They were jolly
lot of sailors, smoking clannishly in
their own corner, occasional piping up
for grog and laughing at each others
turn at the long bow, conscientiously
refraining from raising any question as
to the veracity or even limiting at the
improbability of anything related.
One of the tars had given running
description of boat with which he
had sailed two seasons ago, making
the somewhat familiar assertion that
she could sail right over any level
meadow with light dew on it.
"That's mighty light draft craft ye
have been spinning about, mate" said
a griZzled veteran while making very
audible effort to light his short pipe,
"but was with one in the old country
that could beat her."
"Could do better as to sail on a light
dew ?" asked the other curiously.
"Ah, that she could, lad. Iremem-
ber that when they launched her from
the yard on the Clyde she never touch
ed the water by good two inches"

The plan succeeded. Mr.. Gryce's

while came down and hastened into the
cellar.

That night-it was after supper,

The NEW FooTMAN.-Fun seems
all the funnier when coming from the
Quakers, because it is unlocked for,
and in contrast with their usual sobrie-
ty. For instance, what could be fun
nier than the method used by Nicholas
Vain, a gifted minister of the Friends,
who lived in Philadelphia during the
last century, to mortify the carnal
pride of his wife? The story, as told
in The Christian Standard, is as fol-
lows:
The wife of Nicholas Vain was an
only daughter, and for those days pos
sessed a very large inheritance. She
thought it would be suitable to her
wealth and station to have footman
behind her carriage. This wish being
frequently expressed, her husband at
last promised to comply with it.
Accordingly the next time the car
riage was ordered for the purpose OF
making a stylish call, she was gratified
to see footman mounted. When she
arrived at her place of designation, the
door of the carriage was opened, and
the steps let down in very obsequious
manner by the new footman, and great
was her surprise and confusion to rec
ognize in him her own husband.

Killed by a Gun Trap.

A fatal accident of an unusual char
acter occurred near Blythewood, Fair
field county, one day last week. Mr..
John Haithcock, a young man OF
prominence in his neighborhood, has
been recently troubled by thievish Wis
its to his corn crib in the night time.
To alarm the rogues, he set rudely
constructed spring gun and connected
it with the door of his crib. One
morning last week he thoughtlessly
opened the place without releasing the
attachment, and, in consequence, re-
ceived pistol ball in the region of his
heart, which caused his death in Is
minutes.

SAND ON THE SEAT OF HIS TROUSERS

An uncouth old rancher from the
San Joaquin valley was making his
weekly trip to Stockton and chanced
to be sitting with an impertinent
drummer in the smoking car. The
old man helped himself to the matches
from the railroad box and tried to
strike one and then another.
"You have to scratch them on the
box, uncle" remarked the drummer.
"Oh, guess kin strike match" "
replied the rancher as he ripped one
across varnished panel of the car
and broke off the head. The drummer
laughed at his failure and gave him
some more information.
"The only way to light those matches
is to strike them on the box" said he.
"Oh, guess kin scratch 'em most
anywhere !" And the old man tried
one on the sole of his shoe, another on
the arm of the seat and still another on
the car floor, while the drummer only
laughed.
II tell you that they are made so
that they won't light unless you scratch
them on the box"
"Bet you they will"
"I'll bet 81 they won't"
"Bet you 500 they will"
"I'll take it,"
The wager was made, the old man
took one Of the matches, stood up,
and hitching the trousers up so as to
make smooth surface over his broad
thigh, gave the match a deliberate
scratch and it blazed up. Then he
deliberately lighted his pipe and drew
down the stakes.
The smart drummer does not know
that the innocent old rancher pays his
expenses every trip on that trick, for
he has the side of matchbox sewed
in his trousers beneath the tail of his
long, shiny coat-San Francisco Post.

The Governor and the Dispensary.

News and Courier: Sometime ago
it was suggested that Governor Ellerbe
was not likely to endorse the state
board of control management of the
dispensary. The symptoms are appar-
emily accumulating that he does not
approve of the state board having so
much authority. 1t is suggested that
Governor Ellerbe has no objection TO
the personnel or responsibility of the
board; but that it, as body, has ex-
traordinary powers without due re-
sponsibilty to any one direct or
supervising authority. Governor El-
lerbe will not indicate what line he
proposes taking in his message, on
which he is now working.
