must be sad news to learn that he has

ing questioned as to his most liberal
patrons he did not mention the names of
Queen Alexandra, Queen Margherita OF
Italy, Maria Pia, sister of the murdered
King Humbert, or any of the long string
of royal ladies from the various courts OF
Europe. for whom he created clothes,
but without the least hesitation declared
that he made his fortune from American
women. His prices were supposed to be
state secrets between himself and his
patrons, but he did condescend to admit
that :3 600 would be about the average
cost for bah gown. A ball gown is a
notoriously himsy dream of a thing. made
up OF chiffon and lace, with a CLINT of
gold or a flash of silver; with garlands
of flimsy flowers or fots of ribbon or

fair of velvet or brocade or of an en-

would buy another house and farm. Truly,

EXCURSIONS.

Chesapeake Beach is the only resort
near Washington where one can spend a
Sunday and find the best of saltwater
bathing, a constant cool breeze from off
the broad expanse of the bay. amusements
of all kinds for those seeking such rec
reation, splendid picnic grounds under
the shade of immense trees, and one of
the finest bands in the country, which,
under the able leadership of Mr.. VIII a.
Haley, renders most excellent pro-
gramme during the entire day.
Arrangements have been made this sea-
son for returning passengers TO the city
in very satisfactory manner. Trains re
turning from the Beach do not stop at the
District line station, as heretofore, but
come two miles nearer the city, to Dean
wood, where they are met by special
empty street cars. thus avoiding the dis
agreeable crowding of cars and the objec-
tionable wait at the District line station.
On Sunday seven trains are operated to
the Beach for eXcursionists. leaving Dis
trict line station at $50. 1890, and II 80 a.
m, 2:30, 3:30. $50, and 1880 p. m, and re-
turning at hours equally S advantageous,
50 one may spend as little much time
down by the sea as suits his convenience.

To say that the city is deserted is, of
course, a fiction that nobody is expected
to believe. 1t sounds nice and conven-
tional; is delicate tribute TO the import

there are theories enough to make ma

their stories on than overripe imagi-
nation. Perhaps will all know some
day soon, and then again, perhaps we
won't. AS the old song says, "A pretty
maid may change her mind and give no
reason why" And the old song seems to
be about right.
When Mrs Mckinley returned from rid
ing yesterday she looked so refreshed that
there seems every probability that she
will be able to go to Canton at the time
planned. The other morning while the
Presidents carriage was waiting in a
curve of the driveway under big shady
pf m
tourists learned, some way, that Mrs. Nc
Kinley was to go riding, and one of them,
with a small kodak, stood alert with her
eyes on the north portal and her camera
half hidden under a cape, as though she
feared detection. When the driver brought
his team to the portico the young woman,
fairly tense with excitement, got ready
for a snap. Just as Mrs. Mckinley ap-
peared at the entrance, however, one Of
the men of the party, big fellow in blue
serge. deliberately placed himself in front
of the young woman and there he stayed
until Mrs. Mckinley was in her carriage
and off. Then he apoIogized. You see,
if she had looked up and caught you it
might have spoiled her ride" which,
however, be it understood. doesn't prove
that men are more thoughtful than wo-
men.

The report from Berlin that the Count
and Countess Won Waldersee will visit
America next year and remain here three
months is the more interesting because of
the long absence of the countess in Eu-
rope and because she is a native of New
York, where she was born in 1888. She
went abroad before the civil war and
married in 1864 Prince Frederick of Schles-
wig-Holstein-L -Louderburg-A -Augustenb u r G,
who was afterward created Prince of

Superstition on the Farms.

"Superstition is moro prevalent
among tie American people than is
generally supposed" said a book
agent, "and even thee hard headed,
intelligent farmers are, toa certain
extent, afflicted with it.
II remember asking farmer 60
years old, man Of more than ordin-
ary intelligence, the owner Of 1000
acres of fine land, we'll stocked, and
who had several thousand dollars in
bonds and other securities, why he
did not build himself better house.
The one he lived in was old, small
and dilapidated, relic of the days
when he was poor.
Afraid to, was the reply.
Afraid Of what?' I asked.
Well, you see, 1 have always
heard that when an old man builds a
new house ne never lives long to use
it,
II laughed, but he was perfectly
serious, and found that in that
neighborhood the superstition was
generally believed in.
"Ancther saying was common in
the locality. "The man who plants q
tree generally lives to enjoy it's fruit.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1901-11-20

The belief in these sayings was shown
by the number of poor farmhouses
and the number of fine orchards in
that neighborhood.
Seed corn shelled at night grows
BEST. is another saying frequently
used in the corn belt. A farmer 8
son suggested that it was invented by
the old man as an excuse FOX making
the boys work at night.
"'Things planted during the dark
of the moon produce tie best roots is
so generally accepted as true that
vegetables like potatoes, turnips,
beets, carrots, and onions are planted
during the light Of the moon by few
people. Many scientific farmers be-
lieve in this superstition.
!" The farmer who refuses water to
a travellers horse will see his own live
stock suffer from thirst before the
end &C :hS year, 10 belief so COM
mon in some localities as to insure
courteous treatment to all travellers.
"Some farmers will wiring the neck
Of hen if she crows. They say a
growing hen brings bad luck to tie
farmer, and as 7 heard one old farmer
remark, sets the wimmen folks a bad
exsmple."
Borrowed eggs always hatch, is @
saying probably invented by some
stingy man as an excuse for borrow
ing, but it is so generally believed in
some neighborhoods that regular
system Of borrowing and lending is
carried on.
"These and hundreds of other
superstitions are so generally believed
in that they govern the customs Of
communities to surprising extent"

doubled during the past year.
