the veneer Is well laid on. He respects neither age, station nor condition, and his ready repartee strikes with utter fmpar- tiality of the highest or the lowest. lie is a master in the use of phrases that are more expressive than correct, and no new bit of slang is accepted by the higher cir cles of the newsboys' Bohemia until 1t has been sealed with his approval
 The mascot is an enthusiastic member of the Boys Civic club. Not long since he came up to the desk of one Of the stan struggling with a collar-button, and asked for assistance. He had on shirt with bosom whose plaid glories would have done credit to any canny Highlander's costume; and he was also equipped with new col- lar, blue necktie of generous proportions and a whole card of bone collar-buttons. His face was shiny from soap and water within the circular limits Of a line-a very distinct line-drawn from the top of his forehead around in front of his ears and through the point of his chin.
 "Where are you going with that shirt, kid?'
 "Aw, step. off! I'm goin' to the club. Say, ain't swell? guess I'm pretty warmr'
 Having finished his toilet, he magnan- imously distributed the remaining buttons as souvenirs and marched proudly away to the club.
 He was told that the boys who carry the newspapers to the regular subscribers and WnO consider tnemseiveS Qulte a separate class from the lusty-voiced criers of EEK trie! Extrie!" had indignantly denied any intention of joining the Newsboys' club.s
 ''Huh!" he commented, T wonder if they think we'd let 'em come up there? I dare any of 'em to stick their mugs around where de gang is! Say. you ought to have seen us last night! We had hot chocolate an cake up there. Yum! yum"
 Nearly every night sees the mascot curled up in chair somewhere about the office sound asleep after his days ramblings. for he would scorn the downiest bed for the sake of being within the Journalistic at mosphere, and the place world seem to lack something without his familiar press eHce.
 He has announced his intention of become ing a lawyer when he grows up," and no one but finds 1t in his heart to hope that this tousle-headed, but bright-eyed bit of humanity shall some day be man in the best meaning of the word.

Now Recognized as n Cause of Serious
 Disease.
 Acid dyspepsia, commonly called heart burn or sour stomach, is a form of indiges- ton resulting from fermentation of the food. The stomach being too weak to di- gest 1t, the food remains until fermentation begins, filling the stomach with gas, and Q bitter, sour, burning taste in the mouth is often present. This condition soon be- comes chronic and being every day oc- eurence is given but little attention. Be- cause dyspepsia Is not immediately fatal, many people do nothing for the trouble.
 Within recent period remedy has been discovered prepared solely to cure dyspepsia and stomach troubles. It Is known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and is becoming rapidly used and prescribed as a radical cure for every form of dyspepsia.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been placed before the public and are sold by all druggists for 50 cents per package. It Is prepared by the F. A. Stuart Co.,. Marshall, Mich. and while 1t promptly and effectually restores a vigorous digestion, at the same time is perfectly harmless and will not in- 3ure the most delicate stomach, but on the contrary by giving perfect digestion strengthens the stomach. improves the ap- petite and makes life worth living.

THE GIRL MODELER,
Miss Lincoln, of Mexico, Makes a Very Pretty
 Modelling Beautiful Americans Abroad.

She gives all a sitting and gets them in- terested, then she lets them wait their time and turn, while she attends to her other customers. A sitting costs an English pound, or an American five dollar bill, for she makes no difference in money valua- tions. It will be the same to her at home.
 This young woman seats her patients" as she calls them, in front of her and be- gins to model. The clay rests upon tall stand of Cairo design with a base for the tools. As she models she talks, sometimes rapidly, sometimes slowly, as the express sion of the subject becomes evasive. The fair sitter opposite listens with Intent ex- pression and the modeler gets just what she wants, life-like face.
 Behind the sitter hangs a big red curtain

Banquet to Little Boys

The little boys who had been regular attendants at the Sunday afternoon meet ings for boys of the Y. M. c. A. were given a banquet in the reading room of the as- sociation last night. An elegant menu was served by a committee of ladies and the boys seemed to enjoy 1t immensely.

Paris, March 12.-Paris is now getting to be the field for the young woman who wants to work out her own fortune. In Paris there are both English and Ameri- cans, and where these are there is money.
 It used to be a long trip to Paris, now you can arrive there in the time it takes you to get from Washington to the Golden Gate and sometimes sooner The young woman who finds business "a little slack" in the states, boards a steamer and sails for Liverpool, thence to Paris, or maybe she goes a shorter way, by the French line. But 1t is good thing to stop over In Lon- don and let your friends know you are on your way to Paris

 "In America I have a friend, Kuehne Beveridge. I wonder if she remembers me. I talked with her at a reception in New York for a long time and asked her about her modelling.

Good Work.

That the chain gang has made
some excellent improvements on the
public highways wherever it has
worked is now no longer a question.
Wherever the gang has been the
improvements can be seen by the
substantial manner in which the work
has been done. Captain KooD, our
accomplished and efficient Supervisor
has just completed a we'll built
bridge, with the chain gang over
Twelve Mile creek, at the Leaphart
old mill place and has done some
excellent repairs to the road bed for
some distance on the hills on either
side of the creek. This is but an
other evidence of the good work
being performed by the gang. II is
doubtful if this work would ever
have been done under the old system,
certainly not so quickly nor so thor
ough and substantial.
The gang is now on the Dunbar
road, near Mr.. Dan Kinsler's, where
it will do some bridge work, and
will also do some road repairing at
several places where it is greatly
needed. From there the gang will
be moved on the Old State road,
somewhere about Huckabaa's swamp.

Death e Nrs. Eliza FIX.

It is with sadness that we are
called upon this week to chronicle
the death of a good old mother in
Isreal, who passed away from earth S
SORROWS ard troubles and entered
the joys and felicities Of the life be-
yond the dark shadows Of the grave
at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Norris of Edgefeld, G H., whittier
she had gone OF visit to her loved
ones. Mrs. Eliza Fox, widow of the
late John Fox, of this place, died on
the morning Of the Oh of Novem-
Der, 1899, at ripe old age. The
years of her life were filled with
honor and crowned with glory and
halo which, but few enjoy in this
vale of tears. She lived in this
world to make it better, purer and
boiler and the sweet essence OF
Christian character was a blessing to
many who were struggling under
the adyersities incident to this life.
Having fought the good fight and
won the victory, the summons came
at early dawn to come up higher and
rest from her labors. She has gone
but her memory will linger after her
and her influence for good will be
felt for generations to come. She
wears a crown today studded with
many jewels and as she sings the
songs of the redeemed, in the city OF
the new Jerusalem, her works live
after her as sweet insence which
will rise with qualification to him
who ever li7eth and sitteth at the
right hand of God. BLESSED are
the dead who die in the Lord"
Her mortal remains were Inferred
in the Batesburg, cemetery, where
they rest beside those of her hus-
band, to await the coming of him,
who shall put death under his feet
and will then come to judge the
world in righteousness. Rev. Mr..
Harden preached beautiful funeral
sermon. Mrs. Fox left large num-
Der of relatives to mourn her loss.
Her children are DR.. L. S. Fox of
Batesburg, Mrs. H. J. Seibels of
Sandy Run, Lexington county, John
J. Fox of Lexington c. H and Mrs.
A. J. Norris of Edge6eld G. II. She
is grandmother to Mrs. Col. j. Il
Tiliman.
