Some long for what they haven't got, and what

And some rush for the mountain peak to get the

Then crawl into sunless hole and sleep it

Some find this earth first rate place to slave

He Saw the Point.

4 former attorney general Of the
United States, in a recent article, tells
the following anecdotes of Mr.. Justice
Miller of the federal supreme court:
Judge Miller was a very agreeable
man socially, but in the later years of
his life became somewhat impatient
upon the bench. He was no orator him
self and seemed to have an aversion to
all attempts at oratory in court. I have
seen him on more than one occasion
disjoint with sharp questions beauti-
fully prepared speech with which an
ambitious orator expected to charm
and captivate the court. One midsum-
mer day, as it is said, he was holding
court in western state and lawyer,
whom we will call Brown, was adj
dressing him in a long, rambling
speech. The judge listened and famed
himself and fdgeted about on the
bench for some time, and, finally, lean
ing over his desk, said in an audible
whisper, "Confound it Brown, come to
the point"
what point? inquired the some
what astonished lawyer.
ANY point" responded the judge;
and, though the sequel does not appear,
it is probable that there was a rapid
condensation of talk in that courtroom
after this short cOlloQuy.

Several years ago the inmates Of a
small, respectable dwelling house in
Philadelphia discovered upon the white
washed wall of one Of the rooms the
likeness of a human face, which faded
and returned again. The netghbors
came in to view the wonder. Other
faces appeared and vanished Crowds
thronged the house and street, and &C
counts of the mystery were printed in
the daily papers.
It was to no purpose that scientific
men insisted that the figures were
caused by moldy growths which came
and went with the dampness and that
the likeness to the human face was
imaginary. The house was pronounced
by the public to be haunted. and the
owner was unable to find tenant for
it for years.

SHORT WORDS.


Here Are Sss1ne. and They Are Right
to the Point.
The following paragraph on The
Use Of. Short Words is attributed to
Horatio Seymour. Il practices what It
preached therein, since there is no
word In it with more than two sylla-
bles, save such as are quoted for pur-
poses Of illustration:
We must not only think in words,
but we must also try to use the best
words and those which in speech will
put what is IN our minds into the
minds Of others. This is the great art
which those must gain who wish to
teach in the school, the church, at the
bar or through the press. To do this In
the right way they should use the
short words which we learn in early
life and which have the same sense to
all classes Of men. The English Of our
Bible is good. Now and then some
long words are found, and they always
hurt the verses in which you find them.
Take that which says, @ We generation
Of vipers, who hath warned you to fee
LIOul Tie WTdIu 10 come! #lnere Is one
long word which ought not to be in tt.
namely, generation. In the old YER
sion the old word brood is used. Read
the verse with the term, and you will
feel it's full force: o ye viper's brood,
who hath warned you to fee from the
wrath to come? Crime sometimes
does not look like crime when it is set
before us in the many folds of a hong
word When man steals and we call
it 'defalcation,' we are at loss to
| know if it is plumber or crime. II
he does not tell the TRUTH and we are
told that it is a case of s.prevarication,'
| it takes us some time to know just
what we should think Of it. No man
will ever cheat himself into wrongdo-
ing, nor will he be at loss to Judge Of
others if he thinks and speaks of acts
| in clear, crisp terms. It is good rule,
! if one is at loss to know If an act is
right or wrong, to write it down In
short, straightout English" "

Emperor Nicholas wished to illumi-

Their object seemed unattainable,
when at last long bearded Russian

TALKING SHOP.
A Sentiment Concerning Which There

A Sentiment Concerning Which There
Is Considerable Humbug.
eff there is one thing that makes me
a little wearier than another" said an
amateur cynic, lit is to hear man
boast that he never talks shop I met
a fairly eminent actor at little gath
ering not long ago, and when some
pleasant reference was made he drew
himself up and said, You will pardon
me, l am sure, but, really, make it a
rule never to talk shop That remark
convinced two or three thick headed
hearers that he was s1ngular'y free
from vanity, but it convinced the rest
of us that he was double dyed dom
key and a poseur of the purest ray
serene.
EVERY right minded man likes to
talk shop and does SO whenever he
gets a chance. It is that which makes
class clubs almost invariably a Sue
cess, The members are all interested
in the same thing and can talk shop ad
lib. without getting called down. One
Of the redeeming features of matrf-
helpless victim to whom he can talk
shop every day Of the year.
when chap is travelling as in a
strange city, what a JOY it is to bump
up against somebody in ones same
line of business! 1t is like meeting q

that the chief objection to being a
hangman is that there are so few per-
sons with whom a fellow could chat
about the craft.
and vet it has grown'to be fash

to discuss the precise thing in which
each is most interested. They don't

SUMTER WATER VoRlls. I.
Good Progress Being Made on Thh Great
Enterprise.


Saturday a MINER representative re.
solved himself into a committee Of one
and went out to inspect the condition Of
the new ditch from the reservoir to Its
source, distance Of three miles. To
reach his destination he began al the end.
ing and went to the beginning, by walk.
ing up the ditch grade, following around
the mountain at an easy incline to the
head, where the COOL llmpd waters Of
Wind creek will be tapped and dam con.
structed.
From there the water will be conveyed
through foot square flume, to be boxed
In to prevent freezing and to exclude all
foreign substances getting into the water.
About half way the line crosses a deep
ravine several hundred yards across, with
dip Of forty degrees on each side. This,
of course, will necessitate metal piping.
The work has been done on very fine
surveying and excavatng plan, there be.
ing just incline enough to carry the full
volume Of water, which, Il Is said, will be
ID the neighborhood Of fifty inches.
From the creek the grading Is all fin.
ished for half mile, where some blasting
was being done on bluff, which Is with
q few exceptions the only obstacles en-.
countered along the whole route. James
Cornfeld, with his force Of fifteen men,
have so far done good piece Of work,
and seems to have expedited the same.
After getting a place along the rock for
the flume, the men will continue on down
to the reservoir, finishing the ditchng for
the flume, the plank for which Is now
being distributed along the line down this
way.
The reservoir, under the formanship Of
William Stinson, Is being gotten into
shape, and heavy bulkhead Is being
constructed Of large logs, from bedrock to
rim, on the lower end Of the basin, which
will withstand great pressure and last for
all time.
Several carloads Of wrought iron pipe
for the mains have arrived.
