 ''Why didn't you pay for the drinks? ?" asked the judge.
 Well, sah,'' said the defendant, "arter 1 counted de drinks-I means arter counted de money-I put it in my shoe"

 Having put the money in your foot, you proceeded to put your foot in it," said the judge. 'It is a serious matter to buy drinks and not pay for them"
 T warnt serious. jedge. I war jist jokin'," said the defendant.
 Tt is a bad plan to be joker'' said the judge. "The joker is usually a win ming card, but you lose out, although you have winning ways. I will fine you s5 for being drunk and also g for being a minor. This is minor mattor, and does not require as heavy a fine as a drunk. will not fine you for counting money in the street.

Florence. S. C., Nov. 26. 1900.

I was first advised by our family physi- clan in Charleston to use ,TEETHINE with our baby when she was but very young infant as a preventive of collie and to warm and sweeten the stomach. Later 1t was useful in teething troubles, and its effect has been found to be so very bene- f1cial and so free from the dangers that are consequent upon the use of drugs and soothing syrups that we have come to re- gard 1t, after use with three children, as one of the necessities when there Is a new baby In the house and until the teething troubles are over, and we take pleasure in recommending it to our friends instead of the horrid stuff that so many people use to keep their babies quiet HARTWELL M.

 Suppose you value it at cost said the judge. "If it Is worth s5 it is a case of grand larceny and the defendant will go to the penitentiary. If 1t is only worth 8 it is petty larceny and the defendant will only go glimmering.'
 Well, let 1t go at $3,'' said the witness. 'I don't want to do the defendant any harm"
 The defendant said that he took the watch but that he hadn't had anything to eat for three days, and was hungry enough to eat the watch.'
 ''As you are still young and foolish" said the judge, "I will let you off with the light fine of $25. I will also ask the war den to give you a light breakfast if you are still hungry.

Immense Closing
VAUDEVILLE.

The Jacques seems to be more than ever now the popular resort, vaudeville having scored an instantaneous and marked success. At both the matinee and evening performances yesterday the audiences were of extra large pro- portions, election day probably having something to do with drawing the crowds in. This could not have been the case, however, had not the show scored so heavily on Monday. The Mckinley funeral pictures were much discussed and they promise to make quite as big a sensation here as they made in New Haven, where they have been repeated time and again. The vaudeville acts, too. are remarkable, and of kind to please the ladies as much as the men. That cute little Dewitt chap, Smith and Campbell, Hugh Stanton, and Florence Modena, Miss Dagwell and the others, keep the audience amused every minute. Prices are 10. 20 and 30 cents, evenings; 10 and 20 cents, afternoons Ladies, though, are admitted afternoons to all parts of the house for 10 cents. Mat inee performance at 2:15; evening at S:15.

WINTER BEDDING.

The nights are growing cool now, and we are waking from an uneasy rest to find that the bed covering is not sufficient to our needs. At the table there will be clamorous calls for more bedding from swarm of little folks who can say that they are sleeping cold" these nights. The busy housewife knows what that means, and perhaps has a certain sink ing of heart as she realizes that the exceedingly hot summer made her for get that warm beds would ever be de sired again. Of course she must make shift to supply the immediate needs from the stock in hand, and as she goes through the pile she will mentally note the repairs and additions needed. The skill to recard the matted cotton in comforts makes housewife inde- pendent in the way of soft, pleasant bed covering. It sometimes is worth while to recover cheaply the cotton in soiied comfort, even if it cannot be carded, but it is never good practice to put the new cover outside the old one It makes heavy. soggy,, unsatisfac- tory piece of bedding that will always be refused if anything else is avail able
 When buying material for new GOV 10n1- ,ali l,Io o1 ac thin as is consistent with the need of keeping the cotton from scattering. The warmth of a comfort is in the cotton which fills it. and not in the cover, be it ever so thick and heavy
 Silkoline-the cheaper quality which is sold at 8 or 10 cents yard, and is yard wide-is a cheap and satisfactory cover though needing to be renewed rather often-cheap satin makes a very delightful cover for heavy comforts when such are needed. Generally it seems better economy to make two light comforts. say three or four pounds each. than to put larger quantity of cotton in one comfort. Many people who live near a cotton gin are able to get the needed filling for comforts directly from the gin in perfect condition for the work The rolls that come from the store are more expensive though somewhat more easy to spread smoothly, and the lam mated cotton which is full size for a very large comfort, while delightful to work with, is so expensive as to amount to q luxury.
 The most important matter in mak- ing bedding for cold weather is the size. Too many heavy comforts are so short as to refuse to cover feet and shoulders. and so narrow as to bound l the bed completely with a frigid zone of cold air. So be sure to buy goods enough to meet the demand for full size. The quantity must of course de pend on the width of the material, but two yards and a half is not too long for good comfort that will tuck in'' well at the foot-and the width should be little less than that unless the bed is narrow one.
 The fashion of tufting comforts seems to demand needless labor for really they are just as pretty tacked with double cotton varn which is tied in firm knot and clipped evenly. and if can be done in little more than half the time required for tufting. Ex change.

WINCHESTER.

Edwin McWade's war play, Twin chester" which will be presented at PoIi's this evening, had its first public production at the American theater, New York, last winter. The plot hinges upon lessons in telegraphy giv- en the Virginian girl by the Massachu- setts man when he is a prisoner and convalescing from his illness, through which she has nursed him. The knowl- edge thus gained she utilizes for her struggling people, by tapping the wire running above her house, between Win chester and Kernstown; she thus gains knowledge of the plans of movements intended for the branches of the Yankee army camped at these points, and gives the information to her brother. a captain in the southern forces. It appears her lover. Major Eearney. is not liked within his own ranks. and those who find out the girls ruSe keep silence in hopes of shifting the blame on Kearney. thus proving him traitor. This is done ard Kearney is sentenced to be hanged. To save her lover the girl procures a pass through the lines, hurries to Kernstown and confesses. She gets his pardon and rides wildly back to reach him before the execution is ac- complished. Naturally she succeeds in the nick of time. after running a Ra7ntlet of bullets and shooting the villain from his horse. Miss Margaret Nav Tses the famous Jumping horse s'HFazeppa'' 10 dn one of the most sensa- tianaI and thrilling episodes ever pre- serted on the stage. Prices are 9, 8, 50 and 75 cents.
