A Lucky Hairdresser.

The old saying that a man may be a
hero to every one but his valet is called
to mind by an article in The Illustrated
London News on Famous Masters of
the Tonsorial Art, in which stories are
told of Duplan, the hairdresser to Napo-
leon. This astute man made himself so
indispensable to the unfortunate Jose
phine and became so intimately ac-
quainted with the emperor affairs that
he was retained in the service Of the
imperial family when Josephine was
superseded by Marie Louise. He cared
for the hair of both the emperor and
empress. being paid 4. 900 francs a year
for service to the former and 6. 900 for
arranging the coiffures Of the latter.
Ultimately he was the recipient Of
about 40. 900 francs a year, his demands
being constantly increased because of
Napoleon's restriction in refusing to al
low the tonsorial artist to treat the hair
Of any other customer.

No There.

1 heard a good story hat comes from
a little town in the northern part Of
the state: Among the members of the
Methodist church at that place is an
old railroad conductor who has been
retired from the business for ten years
or more. During the morning service
at his church not many Sundays ago
the old railroader was called upon by
the minister to assist in taking up the
collection-one of the stewards who
usually helped in that work being alb.
sent.
The retired railroader started down
the aisle with the contribution basket
and passed it around like an old hand
at the business. Everything passed of
smoothly until he came to a good old
brother who had nodded himself fast
asleep. and just as he was about to pass
by him he was suddenly overcome by
the force Of habit acquired in his rail.

a dig on the shoulder with the basket.

HumIliatine :. Rival.

It is not a mooted question in Persia
whether women dress for the yes of
men OF those of women, as there only
women zee women, at parties. In her
book, Through Persia on a Sidesad-
die, Miss Sykes, writing Of the women
of Teheran, the capital Of Persia, con
fesses that even Mohammedan isolation
does not prevent women from being
envious of other women, if they are
dressed better than themselves. She
writes:
Twas told that many of the fine ladies
would give large sums in the European
shops of Teheran for any brocade of silk
which struck their fancy and would
wear it at the next party to which they
invited their friends. Haunting the new
toilet ostentatiously before them to fire
their jealousy.
Usually. however. one of the guests
would pay her hostess out by buying
some more of the same material and
having it made up for one of her slave
women. She. then would invite a large
company to tea, and the cups would be
handed round by a negress adorned in
the rich silks with which the former
hostess is arrayed.
Later on the slave would dance before
the guests. The great lady. who had
been invited to be mortified, would be
both disappointed and Inundated. The
lady who had given the party would be
pleased at vexing the rival.

Helen Irving's Tragic Death.

The tragic story of the beautiful and
talented Scottish woman. Helen Irving,
is not, perhaps. well knowA. although
it has been celebrated in song. She had
been for some time courted by two gen
tlemen whose names were Bell and
Fleming. Bell told the girl that if he
ever found her in Fleeming's company
he would kill him. She. however. had a
strong regard for Fleming. and one
day, while walking along the romantic
banks of the Kirtle. she observed his
rival on the other side of the river
among the bushes.
. Conscious of the danger her lover
was in. she passed between him and his
enemy. who, firing, shot her dead.
Fleming crossed the river and killed
the coward. A heap Of stones was raised
on the place where the brave woman
fell. and she was buried in the near
churchyard. Fleming, overwhelmed
with love and grief. went abroad. but
soon returned and, stretching himself
on her grave. expired. He was buried
by her side.

Man Paid For 1t.

But 1t Was Worth What the Other
Man PAID For 1t. +
A man who had not been to church
for a very long time. says a London ex-
change, finally hardened to the persua-
sions Of his wife and decided to go. He
got the family all together, and they
started early. Arriving at the church,
there we're very few people in it and
no pew openers at hand, so the man led
his family well up the aisle and took
possession of a nice pew.
just as the service was about to be-
gin a pompous looking old man came
in, walked up to the door of the pew
and stood there, exhibiting evident sur
prise that it was occupied. The occu-
pants moved over and offered him room
to sit down, but he declined to be seat
ed. Finally the old man produced a
card and wrote upon it with a pencil:
81 pay for this pew.
He gave the card to the strange oc-
cupant. who, had he been like most
people, would have at once got up and
left. But the intruder adjusted his
glasses and with a smile read the card.
Then he calmly wrote beneath it:
"How much do you pay a year?'
To this inquiry the pompous old gen
tleman, still standing. wrote abruptly
"Ten pounds.
The stranger smiled as though he
were pleased. looked around to compare
the pew with others. admired it's nice
cushions and furnishings and wrote
back:
II don't blame you. 1t is well worth
it,"
The pompous old gentleman at that
stage collapsed into his seat. 7

The Relic of a Fatality. 1t IL Pre-

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 we'll at Montmorenci and
set the vessel in the followed top of a
stone post that some of the railroad
men had moved there. While drawing
the water a 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 neal the side 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 it's touch.
Hundreds of people have gone with the
firm determination of lifting the pitch
er. but when they approach it a strange
repugnance comes oyer them, and they
hurriedly depart without carrying out
the object of their visit.
One night a bully in the neighbor-
hood. while under the influence of
whisky. made a bet with some friends
that he would go and bring back the
pitcher. He left to do so, but oon re-
turned as pale as a sheet and empty
handed. Boys" he remarked. mo
person alive can lay hands IN that
pitcher. and l wouldn't attempt it
again for the whole Of Aiken county. :
He refused to tell his experience and
said he would not talk about it. Other
parties have gone to see it, but met
with the same repulsive feelings
