THE SUN WAS LATE.
Failed TO Set on Time, According TO a
Minister'S Watch.

They were telling stories about
watches, and the man who always waits
until last had just concluded wonder
full story of how watch of the same
make as the one he carried had dis
closed an error in the fall of the time
ball at Greenwich, England, supposed
to be the most accurate time recorder
in the world-when a minister spoke
up, says the Columbus (O) Dispatch.
That is not so bad, but they tell n
story equally good on DR.. -" nam
ing a well-known Columbus divine.
Why, you see, Dr. - owns a very ac-
curate watch, of which he isquite proud.
1t happened one winter evening that he
was looking over an almanac, as the sun
was about to set. According to the al
manac, the sun was due to set in
very few minutes, although it was still
somewhat above the horizon. Pulling
out his watch, the doctor exclaimed:
You had better hurry up, old sun, or
you won't get down on time Since the
almanac and the watch could not be
wrong, it follows that the sun was
behind hand" The minister's story
was voted the prize, and no more watch
stories were told that evening.

a PICTURE OF CHINA TO-DAY.

currence.

currence.
Mandarindom literally goeth about
as roaring lion seeking what il can de-
YOUR, says the North China Herald. Of
fees are held at fixed prices by metro
politan and provincial authorities;
taxes are collected in full, but are deci-
mated before they reach the imperial
treasury; 1.-THE big fish eat the little
fish, and the little fish eat mud" by
which smile the Chinese proverb ex-
presses aptly the fact that the great
officials feed upon the smaller ones, and
that they in turn feed upon the people.
NO official position in the empire can be
obtained without the use of money, nor
retained without Illegal practices. If,
then, nothing can be hoped for from the
rulers of China, what can be said about
the student class which is placed at the
head of the four divisions of the people?
This class is conceited beyond endur-
ance; they still speak of the "round
heaven and square EARTH" and dilate
upon the five elements" Foreigners
are still to them barbarians who came
10 China to learn the laws of propriety;
the five great continents represent only
divisions of ancient feudal states trib-
utary to their country, and commerce
is despised as only being taken up by
those who have not the mental power to
master books. They wear large Cog
giles, cultivate their finger nails into
enormous lengths, assume the swagger-
ing gait with which Confucius is said to
have walked. and have a silentcontempt

woman as their inferior and rightful

The Brunswick Tragedy.

I,AWRENCEVILLE VA, November 10.
CSpeciaI) There are few new develop
ments I'm the Jones murder case. The
evidence, while chiefly circumstantial. Is
strongly against Jones, the negro preach
or. The only witness near the scene OF
the killing was Jones's little daughter,
aged about .ars. She declares that
Jones left the house with his gun, ana In
n few minutes called her mother out, and
the gun fired almost Immediately. This
and other facts cast considerable suspi-
cion upon the thief tale, as told by Jones.
In fact. there is but little to bear out
Jones's version OF the tragedy. and a
great deal 10 cast discredit upon II. There
were no sign of thieves in or around the
crib from which Jones claims the fatal
shot was fred. and from which he says
they escaped after killing his wife and
knocking him down. The broken lantern
and matches were found when Jones says
his wife was shot. He claimed that she
struck a match just before the shot was
fired. but no struck match could be found.
The location of the gun waddng. too.
found after the tragedy, does not bear
out Jones's statement of the affair. Jones
made no immediate cutlery after the kill
ing. but after some time called to n neigh
bor Stewart and when the latter's wife,
I.orena. reached Jones's house, he told
her. HE shot them, and his wife was
dead" One Of the most damaging cir
cumstances against Jones is that up TO
the time neighbors arrived he had made
no examination OF his wife's wounds, and
no attempt to render her aid. He seemed
to know instinctively that she was dead
though she lay face down, and the
wounds were in front. Up to the time OF
his arrest Jones consistently tried to clos
investigation, and insisted on his wife's
body not being moved until he could get
a lawyer to represent him. Jones's CUR
showed signs of having been recently dis
charged 1t is current report in Jones''

Obi! The Pain
Of Rheumatism!
Its Tortures Known to
Thousands.

The aches and pains of Rheuma-
tism become constant COM
panion to all who are victims OF
this disabling disease. The peo-
pie generally are not acquainted
with the cause of the disease,
though thousands know It's tor
lures. -,
Everybody should know that
Rheumatism is peculiar acid con-
dition of the blood, upon which all
liniments in the world can have
no effect whatever. The best
blood remedy is needed-one which
is able to goto the very seat OF the
disease and force it out. Swltt's
Specific Is. S. So is the right
remedy for Rheumatism, because
it is the only blood remedy free
from mercury, potash and other
minerals which intensity the DIS
ease, causing stiffness of the JOINTS
and aching of the bones. =.
S. S. S. neutralizes the acic
condition of the blood, and forces
out every trace of the disease. i
reaches even the worst cases
where the doctors have MADE
cripples with their prescription
of potash and mercury.
