AN ENCHANTED PITCHER.
The Relic of a Fatality, 1t IL Pre-.
served by Superstition.

The Relic of Fatality, 1t II Pre-
served by Superstition.
About five miles from Aiken. S. c.,
on the Charleston dirt road and in
sight of the railway, is a little place
that was first christened Polecat, but
afterward changed to Montmorenci, the
French for that odorous little animal
Many years ago a young woman came
with her pitcher to draw a bucket of
water from a well at Montmorenci and
| set the vessel in the followed top of a
lstone post that some Of the railroad
men had moved there. While drawing
the water flash Of lightning came that
struck the chain to, which the well
| bucket was attached. and the woman
was killed in her tracks. Her remains
were removed. but the pitcher was left
| just where the dead girl had set it. To
this day the pitcher remains in the
same place, and, SO far from being re-
moved, it is said that no living hand
has ever touched it save its's owners,
although near the eide of the public
road.
But the most wonderful thing is the
superstition attached to the pitcher.
There is an Undesirable influence sur
rounding it that prevents its touch.
Hundreds of people have gone with the
firm determination of lifting the pitch
er, but when they approach it a strange
repugnance comes over them, and they
hurriedly depart without carrying out
the object of their visit.
| One night bully in the neighbor
hood, while under the influence Of
whisky, made bet with some friends
that he would go and bring back the
pitcher He left to do so, but soon re
turned as pale az a sheet and empty
handed. Boys he remarked, "nt
person alive can lay hands on tina
pitcher, and I wouldn't attempt i
again for the whole of Aiken county.
He refused to tell his experience ant
; said he would not talk about it. Othe
parties have gone to see it, but me
with the same repulsive feelings. =

Clean Coal Mines.

The Chilean coal mines, opened in
1866, seem to be nice places to work in.
The seam of coal runs from the shore
under the waters of the Pacific ocean.
and the tunnels are SO clean that you
could walk through them in dress
suit without making yourself dirty.
They are lighted by electricity, and you
can have ride for mile under the
ocean on an electric car at speed Of 20
miles an hour. The mines form quite
catacomb Of well lighted passages
under the water The output of coal is
now 1, 900 tons a day, and $50 miners
are employed in them.

End of the :Janiznries.
On the 18th day Of June, 1926, the
whole corps of the janizaries in the
capital assembled, overturned their
camp kettles (the signal of revolt) and
advanced upon the seraglio. With his
own hand the sultan unfurled the
sacred 'ssanjak sheriff and called upon
the true believers to rally round their
dischah and caliph and the Jealous
Mussulman citizens rushed from all
quarters and rallied under the sacred

were raked with grape and solid shot

From every street cannon thundered
on the walls without intermission, the
building was soon in flames, the walls
torn and battered down by grapeshot.
and the janizaries, overwhelmed by
ruins, shot and flames, persisted in their
burning and blood stained barracks
For two days the gates Of the city re-

tries. IN South American Sketches
Mr.. Crawford describes the interesting
experience Of an editor who had been
unfortunate enough to give ofense to
the ruling powers BY the freedom Of his s
criticisms
in narrow passage between the cages
of two jaguars, notorious for their bad
tempers and their intense dislike for hui
man society.
The Intervening space was SO regulat-
ed that neither of the ferocious animals
could get its paws quite to the middle
line between the cages, SO that spare,
active person, if very careful to follow
the classical advice about the advan-
tages Of steering a middle course, might
manage to pass without special injury,
though the achieve ment would be both
exciting and dangerous.
Our editorial friend happened to be
stout, and therefore was the more easily
reached by the occupants of the cages.
Az if to add insult to injury, he was
given chair on which to sit and at
the same time was furnished with 8
copy Of his own paper. the issue which
had brought him into trouble. in order
that he might mediate upon it's con
tents.
He tried to sit motionless and boil
upright. feeling those sleepy, cruel eye
fixed upon him. At the slightest move

mutterings arose from the cages, and :
paw would stretch stealthily TOWARD
him Leaning quickly to the other side
he was sure to be met by the ugly claw
of the second jaguar. It was case Q

Every few minutes the jaguars be
came wildly excited and clawed fercel
at the shrinking editor, who. do hi
| best, could not escape those rendin
( toe nails. His clothing was torn t
fshreds. but except for a few scratche
