All Unusual Fee.

After large wedding in Washing
ton the "best man" started at hardly
an hour notice for South Africa. On
his return to Washington, after an alb
sence of some eighteen months, he re-
ceived the warmest sort Of welcome
from his old associates. A dinner
given in his honor afforded the first
occasion since the wedding for dom
ming evening dress, and in the midst
OF the evening, having occasion 10
feel in his waistcoat pocket for some
thing, he electrified the party by draw
inl forth 300 bank note.
Where had it come from? Who
had put it there? His fellow guests
had all sorts Of suggestions to
offer, none Of which seemed satisfac-
tory.
Early the next morning the truth
flashed across his mind. He called
upon the Clergyman who had perform
ed the marriage ceremony.
"You remember the fact, I sup
pose,' said the visitor, of marrying
Mr.. H and Miss c. about q
year and half ago?'
"Oh, very well" answered the cler-
gyman. II see them constantly. They
attend my church"
"Then | hope you will pardon a
rather delicate question asked III strict
confidence. How much did you
receive as your fee on that occasion?'
II will return frankness with frank
ness" and the clergyman smiled
whimsically. "It was the strangest
fee that ever came my way. After the
ceremony the best man, with profu.
sion of thanks, slipped into my hand a
small silver of plug tobacco wrapped
in wad of parafin paper!' Harper 6

AS Viewed by the Departing Prisoner.

The Rev. Samuel S. Soaring, chap.
iail Of the house of correction, South
Boston, frequently has amusing cx-
pcrienccs with the prisoners who come
under his care. He is required by
law to have an interview with every
man whose time has expired and who
is about to leave the house. 1t is the
chaplain's duty to give the departing
prisoner good advice and to exhort
him to be decent and honorable man
in the future.
In the course of one of these inter
views the chaplain said: "Now, my
friend, hope you'll never have to
come back to place like this"
The prisoner looked at him thought
fully and then asked: II say, chap
lain. you draw salary here, don t
your" When Mr.. Soaring replied in
the affirmative, the prisoner remarked: {:

Judgment Of a Solomon.

In small town in one of the cen.
tral counties of the State lives an
elderly German who, because of the
esteem in which he is held in the com
munity, has been elected justice OF
the peace. The old gentleman was
recently called upon to decide most
pcrplexing question.
One of his neighbors is the posses.
sor of dog. The dog, although not
actually vicious. delights in running
out of the gate and barking savagely
ut passers-by. This has been the
source of great annoyance to the
ncighbors, especially to one, who vow
ed to get even with ''the pesky crit.
ter Recently his neighbor was re-
turning from trip. gun in hand. He
was set upon by the dog, whereupou
he raised his weapon and fred at the
brute. His aim was not very good
and the dog ran yelping, minus his
caudal appendage.
The owner of the dog had his neigh.
Dor hauled before the old justice on q
charge Of cruelty to animals, and the
courtroom was crowded with the par.
tisans Of both men. The justice heard
the charge, and then the defense that
the dog was dangerous animal and q
menace to the neighborhood. The
old German thereupon cleared his
throat and delivered the dictum:
"Der mamie has been guilty OF
cruelty to animals" And one side Of
tho courtroom applauded the justice
OF the decision
"But ter tog-he was u v;oious
tog." And the other side voiced It's
approval.
II will fine der man fife tollars. -
Another murmur in the courtroom.
but will gife him anodder shot
at ter tog." And both sides cheered

JacksonyiI!e's Fire Burned a Year.

While the fire which started on May
3, 1901, and devastated the city was
Under control within seven hours, yet
it has been burning for the past 365
days.
j. Fl. Hooker, William Baker and a
reporter went to the ruins of the old
Mohawk block, and with shovel dug
off the top Of the pile Of broken brick
and mortar. Three or four inches
from the top the place was warm and
smoke was seen to come from the hole
dug. Digging still deeper each shovel.
full became hotter and hotter ss it was
taken out. Digging little deeper,
red Goals were found, sad as soon as
the breeze famed it it blazed. The
fire department was notified and q
stream OF water was turned on.
Thus it was that one year after the
commencing Of FIRE the department
is called upon to put it out. This
place has blazed up several times
since the day Of the FIRE, and the last
time, ebou. FIVE months ago, tie de-
partment soaked it thoroughly with
water. A quantity Of grain had been
stored on the site where the digging
took place yesterday, and it was this
grain that has been smouldering all
this time.
A considerable crowd of people gath
cred around the place yesterday, and
were astonished at the fact of the fire
burning SO long, and remarked that all
records were broken as to the length
in time of burning of fire by the one
in Jacksonville which burned a whole
year.-Florida Times U nion and Cit

Many young men, beginning bust
ness career for themselves, make the
mistake of supposing that financial
credit is based wholly upon property
or capital. They do not understand
that character and reliability, com
bined with aptitude for ones business
and disposition to work hard, are far
more important assets to have than
millions Of dollars. The young fellow
who begins by sweeping out the store,
and who finally becomes clerk, man
ager or superintendent by his energy
and reliability of character, does not
usually find it difficult to secure cred
it to start in business for himself.
On the other hand, jobbing houses
are not inclined to advance credit to
the man who, though he may have in
herited fortune, has shown no capac.
ity for business, and is Of doubtful
character.
The young men who start for them.
selves on small scale are more ener-
getic, work harder, are more alert, are
quicker to appreciate the chances
of the market, and are more polite
and willing than those with the large
capital.
The credit men in jobbing houses
are very quick, as rule to see the
successful qualities in prospective
buyers, and seldom make mistake in
their estimate of what credit it is safe
to extend.

Fell From o Balloon.

Tallapoosa, Ca, May Meredith
Rowe, an aeronaut, in making bal
loon ascension here late yesterday af-
ternoon, fell from height of hun
dred feet and was almost instantly
killed.
The Worlds Fair Amusement Com
pany, with dozen or more tents, had
just opened for weeks entertain
ment. The ctowning spectacle Of the
first day 8 performance was to be a bal
loon ascension and parachute leap, and
by the time young Rowe was ready
to make his ascension there was
hundreds of people crowding the vi
cinity.
It was already growing dark when
the woro was given to cast loose. The
big balloon was the cynosure Of every
eye as it swung maiestically upward,
with the daring young aeronaut sus-
pended from a crossbar beneath,
the folded parachute dangling beneath
him.
A long breath came from hundreds
of mouths as the big balloon swept up
ward, only to be succeeded by another
and more awestricken moment Of ex-
citement, for as the gray sphere reach
ed the height Of about 100 feet it sud
denly collapsed.
The crowd shuddered. y feeling Of
horror swept over them as, as with one
wild cry, the unfortunate aeronaut
came falling to the earth, together with
gray mass Of the torn balloon, the
net work of ropes end the Tapping
parachute.
There was a sound Of heavily
striking body and all was silent, save
for the sudden weeping of many wo-
men. Children clung to their moth
ers' skirts. Men turned their faces
away in horror, fearful Of looking
upon the sight that they knew awaited
them.
AS quickly as possible medical aid
was summoned, but it was already
seen to be unavailing. Young Rowe
never spoke word, but died within q
half hour of his fall. His neck was
broken, his back was a mass Of bruises.
Hardly whole bone remained in his
body.
From the show management it was
learned that the young man was only
IS years Of age, although he had made
many balloon ascensions, and was re-
garded as one of the most successful
and daring men in his profession.
His home is in Evansville, Ind, where
his mother and brother still live. The
body will be shipped there this after
noon.
The cause for the accident is ascribed
to the age of the balloon. It had been
in use for long time, although nobody
dreamed it had become dangerously
weak
The accident created the widest cx-
citemen., and little else was talked
about last night and to-day. The
scene is described as one of the most
horrible ever witnessed, more espc-
cially so on account of the frightful
condition Of the body after striking
the earth

A VERY DISASTROUS FIRE
Barn Of Mr.. Shield Payne, of Near
HedgesviIle, Burned Down,
THE WORK or AN lNCENDlARY
The Entire consn;s IS LOST Estimated 70 be
About $4,000 An Insurance Of
$1,000.

One of the most disastrous fires that
has been in this county for long
time. occurred SATURDAY night Wnen
the large bank barn Of 2Ir Shield
Payne, which is located one mile
southeast Of Hodgesville and on the old
homestead of Mr.. Summers Payne,
burned to the ground. The fire wa
first noticed by Mr. PAYNE about 7:30
o'clock and he at once called his neigh
bors to help extinguish the flames but
before they could reach the barn, the
fire had too great Roadway.
The fire when first noticed by Mr..
Payne was only a small blaze at the
door of the horse stable aud before
they could reach the barn, which is
about 100 Yards from the house, the
whole inside was one mass Of flames
and this is what leads them to believe
it was the work of an incendiary and
that oil had been used, as the fire spread
so rapidly The entire contents, as
well as ihe 5arn itself, was totally de-
stroved. II the barn were seven head
of horses, niue mule, seven cows,
eight hogs. 24o bushels Of wheat, "a
bushels of cloveg seed, go bushel Of
potatoes and the NOV was full Of hav
aud fodder as we'll as the farming im-
plements. all Of which were lost
Why the barn was set on fire is not
known, as Mr.. Payne is well liked By
all his neighbors ana has no enemies,
SO far as he knows, especially anyone
10 do such crime as that. There is
no clue as to who the ineendiary is as
vet but he hopes that tie one that
committed the deed may be caught
and punished
Mr.. Payne's loss is very heavy
one. He estimated it at about $4,000.
There is II 900 insurance on the barn
but none on the stock

WOMAN'S POSITION.
Quaint Advertisement which Appeared
i'm am Old Msrtinsburg Paper

1t is sometimes difficult to realize
the changes that are constantly taking
place in the thoughts and opinions of
mankind except as we observe the past
through the enlightment of the pres
ent. In no department of life is this
change more conspicuous than in the
opinions concerning the position of
women in the affairs of the world.
AS an illustration of the position
assigned to women in this country 100
years ago, the following taken from a
bound volume of the files of the Berk
eley Intelligencer, buplished at Mar.
tinsburg, Va. from April II, 1899 to
May 81, 1901, will be of interest;
ITO be sold-For five shillings, My
wife, Jane Heeband She is stoutly
built, stands firm and is sound. wind
and limb She can SOW and reap
hold plough and drive a team and
would answer any stout able man that
can hold tight rein, for she is hard
mouthed and headstrcng; but il prop
erly managed would either lead or
drive as tame as a rabbit Her husband
parts with her because she is too much
for him. Enquire of the printer.
N. B. All her clothers will be
given with her.
1t is not quite likely that 100 years
from now the student of history will
look with amazement upon the fact
that great republic, claiming to have
government for the people, of the
people. and by the people, should re-
fuse one half its people. and that the
most moral and law abiding half all
voice in its affairs That govern
ment claiming to be founded upon the
"consent of the governed" and having
for its battle cry, taxation without
represent alton is tyranny" proceeded
to govern its women without their
consent and tax them without allow
ing them representation, even after
they had protested against the injus.
tice for 80 years.
Can any one conceive of greater
consistency than the position Of the
women in this country SO far as their
political rights are concerned?
There is still lurking in the minds
of many such Of that old opinion con-
corning women expressed in the above
advertisements written 100 years ago
