signs of the disease have disappeared, aud

He Got a Pardon.

A bachelor member of Congress,
who is not as handsome as Apollo,
dropped into Clerk NIcDowcll's s Office
the other day to seek sympathy be-
cause the lady on whom he had looked
with favor was about to be married to
another man, says the Washington
Post.
''That reminds me, said Mr.. Nc
Dowell, ''cf the incident which hap
pened when Governor Dick Oglesby
went down to Joliet to inspect the
State prison. In one Of the cells was
very ugly man.
"'How did you get in here?' asked
Oglesby.
"'Abduction, was the reply. I
tried to run off with girl and they
caught me-
"I'll pardon you as soon as get
back to Springfield, said the governor.
4 don't see how you could expect to
get wife in any other way"
The homely bachelor congressman
laughed loudly. Then, as the appli-
cation of the story dawned upon him,
the smile faded from his face aud ne
walked out Of MoDowell's Office with
out saying a word.

Report of the Dispensary Board.

CoLuMnIA, S. c., Jan. 2.-Lato last
night the annual report Of the State
Board Of directors Of the dspcnsary
for the year just closed was made pub
lie by the chairman of the board, Mr..
l.. j. Williams. 1t reads as follows:
"To his Exccllcncy, M. B. McSween-
ey, Governor of South Carolina: We
have the honor to submit to you for
your information and also that Of the
General Assembly, this, our report Of
the business done by the dispensary
during the fiscal year closing Nov 30,
1901.
Examination of the various nc
counts attached hereto, will show that
the total amount Of cost of liquors,
wines and beer, etc, purchased during
the year, has amounted to 81 GIT ,073.47,
and that our gross sales have amount
ed to $a,32S,GS1.21 (oxclusive of sales of
fresh beer by beer dispensaries.)
"The net profit (to the state) for ac-
count of the school fund is $50, ,9e2 .25.
The net profits, that have accrued to
the counties and towns, divided equal
ly, are S424 1861, which makes total
net profit of S545, ,249.12 for the year, on
account of tho school fund and towns
and counties.
1--WE have for some time felt seri-
GUS need of moro warehouses and
Office room, and also safe and COM
modious tire-proof vault for the stor-
age and preservation of our permanent
records. Consequently we have had
constructed more storage capacity, and
also convenient two story office build
ing with commodious and up to- date
fire proof vault, which has cost $14,-
494.91, besides other petty improve
ments.
"The act approved Feb. 10, 1900, for
bids us to make more than 10 per cent
profit on account Of the school fund,
and the past year we have made on
that account in round figures per
cent, which leaves only n very small
margin with which to run the bust
ness, and while it is true that the
school fund is considerable, amounting
at present to $611 1854 39, it is available
very slowly for the payment to the
schools, as that is our only working
capital.
eve are gratified to be able to show
such high percentage of net profits
on th" business done, especially as the
price of liquors has been very high on
account of the high rate Of grain,
while we have not made any advance
in the price to the consumer.

these Indians seem to have adopted
and adapted themselves but to one the
horse.
From the meagrc data we have re-
spcctiug their lives, We learn that they
arc chiefly vcgctarians, though not
strictly so, as they engage in the
chase, eating the flesh Of animals SO
obtained; but the supply Of flesh food
is prccarious, and their main reliance
must be placed upon the natural foods,
SO plentifully furnished by bountiful
nature.
Of edible nuts there are several va
ricties that grow throughout their en-
tire territory, and much of their time
is spent in collecting these. Several
varieties of wild bees are found there
also, and their manufacture of honey
is perpetual and plcntcous, and this
forms u staple element in the dietary
Of the savagcs. Fruits grow on every
hand, and, with the two articles men
toned above, comprise the daily diet
Of these primitive people.
Now for their other habits
They do not know what house is
They live in tents exclusively, and
these are moved frequently, as the
conditions demand, or the supply Of
food grows scarce. There arc no cold
winds to take shelter against, and the
occasional rains are all the natives
have to provide against. a slight
covering serves to turn the water
while allowing free access of air at all
times.
AS to clothing, they belong to the
naked races. A brcech c!out COM
plctcs the outfit Of the adult. No
shirt covers his back, no hat his head !
but the sun rays beat down upon his
bronzcd skin throughout the day, and
the dews lave it at night, and the pure
air of heaven caresses it at all times.
They are rcputed to be blessed with
powers Of vision that would put to
blush an Indian Of the Fenimore
Cooper romances, with his proverbial
eagle eye; and their hcaringis equally
acute. In short, they are credited
with having every sense developed to
the greatest degree, as we'll as being
possessed of a stock Of vitality that
carries them through life twice as
long as that Of the man Of civilized
life and cnvironment.-J. r. Steven

Broke him of Borrowing.

People who are constantly borrow
ing household Utensils and neglect to
return them are annoying neighbors.
The problem Of how to cure them Of
the habit was solved III an effective,
though somewhat costly, way by one
long-suffering householder.
A new man had moved into the
neighborhood. One o. The first things
he did, after getting his goods into
the house, was to borrow stepladder
from his next-door neighbor, Mr..
Smith. He needed it putting up his
window shades" and would return
it shortly.
Next he borrowed tack hammer, to
use in putting down his carpets.
Then he wanted hatchct, a screw
driver and gimlct, all Of which
things Mr.. Smith, being an accommo-
dating man, allowed him to take
Several days passed, and none Of the
borrowed articles Lad been returned.
Ell cure him, said Mr.. Smith.
About week later the new neigh
Dor came back with the screwdriver,
and apologizcd for having kept it so
long
That all right" said Mr.. Smith,
with genial smile; "but you had
better keep it now. I have bought
another
With muttered apology the new
ncighbor hurried back and returned
with the gimlct, the hatchet and the
tack hammer.
"You are welcome to those" said
Mr.. Smith, cordially. II have bought
some others and don't need them"
But"
'That's all right. You keep them.
They'll come handy about the house.
Again he hurried away, and was re-
turning with the stepladder, when Mr..
Smith, who was just going out, met
him.
"Why, bless mer' he said, 'you
needn't bring that ladder back; 1
have got new one, so I shall not
need it,
The new neighbor kept the things,
but he never borrowed anything more

The WORLDS PRAYERS co UP FOR HIS MAJESTY

London, June 24.-With dramatic
suddenness King Edward VII. has been
stricken down upon the eve of his coro-
nation. Tonight he lies in a critical
state at buckingham palace. In spite
ton, the lower elements of London are
"Maftiking' through the flag-decked
streets, and a portion Of society, in
coronation gowns and jewels, has gath
cred at what is called a. gala coronation
dinner at one of the fashionable hotels.
Even at the gates of Buckingham
palace. within which the ablest sur
geons and physicians constantly remain
in the hope of saving the sovereign's
life. the footing of horns and the sound
of other reveIries can be plainly heard.
That slim gathering which still remains
beneath the flaring palace lights is now
more bent on celebrating than on SYM
pathiZing. BoisterouS rowdies driving
ana hugging demijohns of liquor, as
they make their noisy way from the
West end to Whitechapel.
They represent that section of the
British public which no tragedy can
sober into decency. They have tasted
liquor unrestrained by law in the cele-
hration in connection with the war, and
king or no king they will celebrate the
coronation.
1t must be admitted that the revel-
lers have been misled by the technical
language of the bulletins. They seem
to have no conception of the gravity
of King Edwards condition. The think
ing portion of the nation, however, have
gone home numbed by the events which
the day has brought forth. Indescrib-
able CONSERVATION prevails throughout
the country and this CONSERVATION is
reflected in the cabegrams received
from all the centers of the universe.
King Edward is in a room facing the
gardens of buckingham palace, far
from the street and the crowd. IL to-
nights progress is maintained he Will
probably tide over the result Of his Sc
verc operation which has successfully
removed the local trouble. But should
any complication occur. such as septic
peritonitis or blood poisoning, it IS
