Meancst Man in Kansas.

Not long ago the wife Of West

lay aside politics long enough one
day to dig the potatoes in the gar
den. He agreed to do it. After
digging for n few minutes he went
into the house and said he had found
coin. lie washed it off and it
proved to be silver quarter. lie
put it in his jeans and went back to
work. Presently he went to the
house again and said he had found
another coin. He washed the dirt
off it. 1t was silver half dollar.
He put it in his jeans. "I have
worked pretty heard" he said to
wife, 81 guess I'll take q short nap"
When he awoke he found that his
wife had dug ali the rest Of the
potatoes. But she found no coins.
Then it dawned upon her that she

On Managing Ones Vito.

If we turn from fiction to reality
we are forced to think that romancers
were drawing upon their own expe-
ience when they depicted the impos.
sibility of managing a wife. The
inability to do so has been inherited
by man through hundreds of genera
tions. The first man made miser-
able failure in his attempt to govern
Eve, and ended, as do most of his un-
happy descendants, by allowing Mad
anne Eve to twist him around her lit
tie finger, with disastrous conse-
quences to them both and to us all.
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were all
notably unable to govern their house
holds, and if their kinsman, Lot, sue
ceeded rather better, it was not until
his wife had been changed into an
inanimate pillar of salt. Had he
managed her better she would never
have looked back to Sodom and suf-
fered the penalty of disobcdiencc.
But what is the use of enumeratinp
single instances Of this kind? Solo
mon, so renowned for wisdom in
evcrythihing else, never discovered
the secret of how to manage his null
titudinous wives, but allowed them
to lead him into all manner of hcresy
and schism. AS it was in the DAYS
of Solomon, SO it has been ever since,
and SO it will be to the end of time.
unless one wiser than he arises.
Men have come now to know that it
is useless to pretend to manage their
households, and so they acknowledge
their weakness and speak respect
fully OF their wife as "my better half"
an expression that has more truth
than poetry in it. The fact, too, of
this subjcction has been embodied in
many a homely provcrb, like that of
"The gray mare being the better
horse. ."-Charloston News and Cou-
rier.

With jackson seventh in the train.

And Harrison makes number nine.
The tenth is. Tyler in his turn,
And Polk, eleventh, as we learn.
The twelfth is Taylor in rotation,
Fillmore, thirteenth, in succession.
Fourteenth, Pierce has been selected;
Buchanan, fifteenth, is elected.
AS sixteenth Lincoln rules the nation,
And johnson, n,soventeenth, fills his station
The eighteenth, then. is Grant, you know
And, nineteenth, Hayes from Ohio.
Then comos another Buckeye son,
Garfield, tho loved and martyred ono,
Whose term was filled by Arthur through
Whom Cleveland comes as twonty-two.
Thon Harrison as twenty third,
When Cleveland once again is heard.
AS twenty-fifth, Mckinley great,
Who, too, has shared tho martyrs fate
And, though the deepest grief is folt,
We hail the gallant Roosevelt.

There was a special meeting of
the committee on course of study of
the Board of Trustees of Winthrop
College in Columbia last week.
While in that city President John
son gave some interesting facts about
the college. He says that the col
lego is now in better condition than
he had ever dreamed of. At present
the total enrolment is $50, and of
these 44S are boarding pupils housed
in the dormitories of the college.
This is remarkable attendance
when it is considered that 150 others
had to be denied admission upon
failure to stand the entrance exami-

A Sewerage System for Anderson.

The Anderson city council has
taken an important step looking to
the establishment of a sewerage sys-
ten. a contract has been made
with j. l.. Ludlow, Of Winston, N.
c., the well known engineer, to make
plans and estimates for the system.
MIR. Ludlow, who is the engineer in
charge OF Columbia's sewerage build
ing, is to receive $1,000 for his SER
vices, and if the city decides to
establish the system he is TO receive
$1,000 additional. Mr.. Ludlow csti-
mates that a complete and adequate
sewerage system can be put in for
about $4,000. 1t is practically ccr-
tain that the system vii! be pnt in

Value Of Corn Stalks.

Corn may be grown for the stalks
only, some day, and not for The ears.
Wouldn't it be funny to be expert
mcnting for an earless corn?
That is what it is likely to come
to if the uses Of the corn stalks keep
on developing. Just now it is neck
and neck between the stalks and the
ear as to which is the more valuable,
so the wise farmer is making good
money selling his corn stalks instead
Of burning them.
The uses for corn stalks are very
many. The agricultural department
has made public bulletin showing
that they may be used for these
among other purposes:
A packing for warships F; high
grade OF writing paper the basis of
smokcless powder; and a cattle
food made by grinding it to powder
and mixing it with cheap molasses.
The new food is pressed into cakes
under hydrolic press and can be
shipped as easily as bricks or cork
wood. For feeding it is broken up
and mixed with water. Actual tests
have been made and samples have
been sent to agricultural stations in
Europe. Reports from all sources
are very encouraging. This food
will be particularly valuable for our
cavalry in the tropics, and the food
cakes can be made at minimum cost
in Cuba and the Southern States,
where thousands of tons Of low grade
molasseS go to. waste annually

III ire is but one road to coniugol
happiness, and that must be paved
with mutual confidence and respect.
When either party forfeits the re-

there is but a hollow sham of pre-

effort to bear the inevitable until the
end comes-in every day lifc-pri-

The discovery of great reservoirs
of oil in the Southern States is likely
to mark the beginning of another
epoch in the worlds material pro-
gress. When the supply Of wood
began to be inadequate to tie de-
mands, coal was discovered and
large cities and extensive manufac.
tories were made possible. But the
supply Of coal is limited aud lust as
the prospects of its final exhaustion
begin to excite some anxiety, the
earth is found to hold in it's bosom
immense lakes and oceans of oil
stored up through all the ages against
the time when it would be needed
for the worlds further development.
Now, it will largely take the place of
coal both as fuel for furnishing
warmth in winter and power to
drive the worlds machinery, being
far superior to coal in that it is
cheaper, less bulky, and more effcc-
tual. Who so blind as not to see
infinite intelligence and benevolent
forcthought in all this ? Who will
deny that the hand that made us
is divine?
