competent to say. The general i'm

but that Sampson and ScLley in
combination will enc!lcie the island
of Cube, maintain tie blockade ald

squadron to see that it does not Go
mischief to the American fleet, or, by

because Of delays in opening the mil

4 Valuable Gift.

When St. Stephens church was
burned sometime ago, the Masons at
this place, whose lodge room was
over the church, lost all their prop
erty, including the furniture Of the
Lodge. Mr.. J. L. Mimraugh, the
we'll known dry goods merchant cf
Columbia, who is ever on the alert to
show his friendship for Lexington
and Lexington people, presented a
beautifully bound and handsomely
printed Bible to the lodge through
it's Secretary, Mr.. G. NJ. Harman.
At the last meeting the lodge in.
structed Mr.. Harman to return its
thanks to Mr.. Mimnaugh for his ap-
preciative thougbtfulness.
Mr.. Mimnaugh's letter accompany
ing the gift is as follows:
J. L. Mimnaugh & Co.
Wholesale and Retail,
Columbia, S. c., April 9, 1898.
Mr., G. NJ. Hartman,
Lexington, S. G.
Dear Sir: Hearing of the recent
fire which destroyed the belongings
of the Masonic Lodge in your midst,
I take the liberty today of sending
you, express prepaid, one large Bible
for the use of the Lodge and trust
that same will meet with your
acceptance.
I send this, as no organization,
whether Masonic or otherwise, can
serve God and do their true duty to
mankind without the knowledge of
this Holy Book.
With best wishes for your frater-
nifty. l am, yours very truly,
J. L. Mimneugh.
The gift is accepted because it is
given US as the rule and guide of our
actions, and we trust that it may
prove a lamp unto our feet, and
in our travels over the highest
hills and through the lowest
valleys, may it direct and lead us
to that great tabernacle on high,
whose Architect and Builder is
God. May the richest blessings OF
the God of US ali, like the precious
ointment upon the head, that ran
down upon the beard, even Aaron's
beard, that went down to the skirts
Of his garments abundantly abide
with Mr.. Mimnaugh, and prosperity
and success, both spiritually and
temporarily. crown his efforts here on
earth, and that he, too may meet
with US around the altar of rest
where our working tools will give
evidence of faithful work.

Cora, until two years ago last March, was as
healthy and strong as any girl of her age.
She was attending school and was studying
hard. Perhaps she was too studious, for we
noticed that the healthy color in her check was
rapidly disappearing, and she was becoming
pale and sallow. Dark, swollen circles be-
gan to appear under her eyes, and she rapidly
became worse. We were living in Franklin,
Indiana, at the time, and Cora would have
graduated that Spring. She stopped attend
ing school and endeavored to pc. rest, but
her health kept failing. Her blood was color

was almost continually in pain. Nothing

She had formerly weighed 100 pounds, but

WHEN WELCOME Is WORN OUT
Tactful Hints Of Hosts Who Are
Weary of Guests

An Ohio host, weared out of all en-
durance by the persistency of his guest,
chose as his medium the family prayer. after
breakfast, and said: 80 Lord, bless our Wis
iting brother, who will leave us on the 10
o'clock train this morning" I prefer the
subtler and more reverent method Of an
other Ohioan, the father of William Dean
Howells, the novelist. His practice was,
when a visitor had worn out his welcome,
to be called away on business and to say to
his guest: II suppose you will not be here
when return, SO will wish you good-by."
Excellent and highly appreciated by the
boys was the formula used by DR.. Vaughan,
when, as headmaster of Harrow school, he
had to entertain the highest form in the
school in patches at breakfast. Commiser-
ating the bashfulness of the lads who did
not know how to leave and yet wanted to
do so, the doctor would say, apropos OF
nothing: Must you 60? Can't you stay"
This was the signal of departure. admire
very heartily the transposition Of blum
dering narrator, who, in telling this story,
gave the formula as Cant you go? Must
you stay?" A fellow feeling makes us won
drous kind to this revised version.
