Mad Dog In Charleston.

News and Courier, Tuesday Mr..
r.. ]. Arnold, of Greenwood, who is
here with big supply of live stock,
had desperate fight with mad dog
at the Charleston Stock yards yester-
day morning. The dog showed every
symptom of being wild but he ran up
against wild man from Greenwood
when he struck Mr.. Arnold. The fight
was brief. Mr.. Arnold had heavy
hickory stick in his hand and he pro-
ceeded to use it at great rate when
the dog began swapping about his heels.
One or two good blows laid the brute
out. Before going at Mr.. Arnold the
dog started to own the yards. He ran
a minister and a spectator up high
fence, and tried to bite a number of
horses standing around. The animal,
it is said, bit his way to the city from
the Four-mile House yesterday morn
ing. He had started north from Four
mile, but was warned not to touch at
Ten-mile. Then he decided to come
to town. He was owning everything
in sight until knocked out with Mr..
Arnold's walking cane.

ABsURDITIEs OF FASHION.
Something About New aud old oddi-
ties OF vanity Worn by
Women,

How many are there, even of those
who are old enough TO have worn the
articles, who readily remember just
how absurd the fashions of the years
1860 ,ft 1870, inclusive, and Just year
OF twJ more, were? The outrageous
hoopskirt. which made il impossib 90

rolls known as rats" and covered with
the hair OF the unfortunate wearer,
heavy, hot and noNous TO say the least,
and most uncomfortable; the so-called
"Grecian bend" that came in when
hoops went out of fashion, which con-
strained the foolish devotee TO walk in
painfully deformed attitude, with the
hands dangling helplessly in order 20
be in keeping with ihe general idiocy
of the whole affair-all these are happi-
ly things of the past, butnot even those
who patronized these fashions can re-
member quite how badly they looked
unless they see them revived, as was
the case in a play lately put upon the
New York stage. where the attire OF the
women In the cast included the enor-
nous hoop and also the chignon.
1t is said that on this occasion the
audience went into such fits of laughter
that the play was quite drowned. and
was like TO have been ruined. The ex-
treme of the fashion of to-day will look
quite as badly ten or twenty years from
now-at least the hat, with its high
trimmings, must do So It is well 20

SIR HENRY IRVING'S JOKE.

Sir Henry Irving is always Sir Henry
Irving, whether on or off the stage.
So marked is his individuality that
during his latest visit to this country a
New York practical joker addressed a
letter to him, the envelope of which con-
tanned merely a pen-and-ink portrait
of the actor and his hotel address.
The letter was promptly delivered by
the hotel clerk end reporter to whom
the wag confided his joke followed TO
learn the effect.
"A-a-a-h!" unused the actor, "this de-
serves an answer"
Thereupon he seated himself at his
desk and indited an ironical letter of
thanks and inclosed it in an envelope.
'You don't know the address,"
at does not matter" returned Sir
Henry. 81 think this will reach him
without difficulty"
On the envelope he had drawn the
face of donkey with pair of enor-
nous ears. the ends Of which covered
the paper from corner to corner.

GENERAL KING AND THE WOLVES

He and his lovely, dark-haired wife

then instructor in military tactics at
the Wisconsin state university. One
summer the general, with a party of
friends, tented few hundred yards
back of the hotel near the bluff.
There were two trains to and from
ST. Paul every night, and. as they
broke in upon the stiffness, they woke
the wolves that made the bluff their
home, They were coyotes for the most
part, but among them were some wan
dering gray timber wolves from the
Wisconsin woods across the river.
They always heard the train first and
greeted its approach with howl that
was sent along like a sentry's shot in
a picket line. After the train had gone
howl continued. 1t was a concert
long TO be remembered, and a never
ending source of pleasure to the gem
eral.
In one Of his earlier books the gen.
eral has a remarkably vivid descrip-
ton of an escape from wolves. The
reader can almost hear the animals
yelping at the horses heels.
81 suppose that is from one of your
frontier experiences" observed critic
one day.

ever heard were within one hundred
yards of big summer resort hotel

SHE WOULD AND SHE WOULDN'T.

South Africa is "the land OF sur
prises," and there, more than any,
where else in all the world, it has been
said, 1t is the unexpected that usually
happens.
In March the story was told OF a
young lady who had arranged her pas
sage and embarked at SOUTHAMPTON to
sail for Natal to marry the gentleman
OF her acquaintance, burt that she sud-
denly changed her mind and walked
ashore just before the ship sailed.
notwithstanding the earnest en-
treaties OF her parents, the erratic
bride could not be persuaded to sail
and marry the man waiting with the
ring on the other side. The liner
sailed without the bride, and all the
pretty wedding clothes and the pres
ents went on in the ship.
few weeks later this maiden of
indecision again changed her mind
and decided to set sail to fulfill her
contract with her forgiving lover, the
steamship line allowing her to use the
passage ticket for another steamer,
Forgiveness was asked all round and
extended with many tears and much
emotion, and the happy and serene
condition of affairs which supervened
happy issue out Of all the trouble.
In due course the blushing bride
was safely landed at Natal, where the
gallant and devoted swain stood watt
Ing on the quay to receive her. Every
arrangement was then made for the
wedding. The following morning the
bride stood arrayed in all her pretty
things, and the bridegroom with the
minister waited at the church In joy
Gus expectation.
Amid the usual rejoicings theNbride
started for the church, when-lo, and
aIack for the fickleness OF maidenly re-
solves-once again she changed her
mind. She stopped the carriage when
part way there, insisted on the coach
man driving her back, and returned
whence she had started.
Finally, even for ever and ever, she
had really and truly decided not to
marry the man she had chosen.
The bride Of many minds is return
