Humor Versus Love.

They who write of that mystery, the
heart of a woman, would have us believe
thar humor ofttimrs frightens away the
little god Of love Make q man ridicu-
luus in the eyes of the woman who loves
him. and She will cease to love him. 1t

writer. Does not that prove just what
have been saying that woman'S sense
Of humor l. very. very keenF That was
the trouble with poor Cyrauo. Not that
the nose made him ugly-since many
women have loved ugly men but that
the nose set in vibration the sensitive
chord Of humor in her heart and She
could not love where she must first laugh.
Which shows that her sens" of humor is
So strong that il conuucrs even love.

pointed out the high motives which
moved the volunteers to leave their

schoolmaster noticed that one boy did

and as test question he asked him:

4 State stock LAW ,

North Carolina will have general
stock law applying to every county and
township iii the State; that is, if the
General Assembly passes the bill which
the Senate Committee on Propositions
and Grievances has decided unani-
mously to report favorably.
This bill WAS introduced by Senator
Speight, OF r lgecombe, and as stated
above, brings all parts of North Caro-
lima under the law preventing stock
from running at large.
Senator Arlington, Of the committee
offered an amendment providing that
the commissioners of any county could
exempt their county or any part thereof
from the stock law. if they go desired,
and authorizing the commissioners to
levy a special tx ia any territory thus
exempted To erect a fence around the
same. This Amendment was adopted
by the committee and will be reported
with the bill to the Senate today.
Many Of the counties in Eastern Caro-
lima are not now under the stock law,
and this bill will excite universal inter
est. Indeed the Senators would not be

that since he had seen the prisoner in
the penitentiary he had thought the
matter over and bad talked with his
wife about the case, and that there was
test that would certainly show whether
the prisoner was Betchler. Harris then
asked the prisoner to exhibit his right
leg above the ankle for examination.
The prisoner complied with this request
and Harris made an examination and
said that the prisoner was not "Chris"
Betchler because Betchler had the scars
of bad dog bite on his right leg which
he received when he was boy not over
ten years old, and that Harris had killed
the dog. On this evidence Justice
Montgomery discharged the prisoner
from further imprisonment.
The attorney of Johnstone is now
awaiting decision of the Supreme
Court in another case as to whether the
States prison is such corporation as
can be sued. IL this decision is to the
effect that the States prison can be
sued the attorney of Johnstone intends
to sue for large sum in damages for
the false inn mlrisonment, which lasted

a package of the United States mail
containing certified checks and cash
amounting 20 more than 81, 900 was
swept out as rubbish from the Charles
ton, ;. c., postoilice Sunday. Monday
morning while playing around lot
where garbage is piled Carl Sanberg,
lad six years old, found the package and
opened the letter without realizing the
value. The boy gave the letters to his
grandfather and the loss was not known
at the postotiice when the package was
returned. All of the letters came from
Rock Hill, ;. G. Two checks payable
to bearer at any bank were drawn by the
State Treasurer to Winthrop College for
the scholarship fund, and the loss of
this would have caused trouble to the
institution Carelessness on the part of
the pustoilic Jerks was responsible for
the disappearance of the mail, and an
investigation has been ordered. The
porter whose duty it is to sweep out the
office declared that he had often found
valuable mail in the waste baskets,
although he did not see the package in
question.
