s'I had a funny experience
with a drunken man in a tele-
graph Office up the country,
said a man, ''and it shows how
demoralized a fellows reason be-
comes when he sleeps it well in

Office and was really in a very
great hurry, as I had some Ia
dies waiting on the outside for
me.
"A long, gaunt fellow was
leaning up against the receivers
window, and he did not seem IN
clined to get away. He was ut
tering something to the man
behind the screen, but l could
not hear what it was. I finally
pushed right up to the window
and showed my telegram to the
clerk. At the same time the tall
man threw down a telegram
which was addressed 10 some
man in San Francisco.
CATER fumbling in his pocket
for some time he pulled out six
ty cents and showed them at the
receiving clerk. He started to
swagger out of the Office when
the clerk called to him. Hold

clerk, sixty cents is not money
enough. This message will cost

blinked at the man through the

The Pensions.

The appropriations for pen
sions in South Carolina have
reached high water mark and in
all probability future appropria-
tions for this purpose will be less
than in the past. For the rea-
sons:
First-The tax levy is heavy,
and will have to be increased,
unless the pensions are reduced.
Second-The political reasons
for continuing the appropriation
no longer exists. The Confed-
crate Soldiers have been so re-
duced in numbers that they are
scarcely a factor in politics. This
was proved in the last election.
Third-The distribution Of the
pensions is so unavoidably un-
equal that dissatisfaction has
arisen. The conditions imposed
are very humillating in many
cases, and it is a common remark
that undeserving men draw pen
sions while it has often been &C
cepted as a fact that deserving
men do not get the pension.
The Press and Banner does
not believe that any Confederate
is undeserving. We believe that
every soldier is deserving of con,
sideration at the hands of the
State, and further believe that
pensions should be given to all
alike. The pensions should be,
as now, too often a reward for
the lack of thrift. Better cut
the whole thing short than to
demoralize men who are able and
otherwise willing to work. AL
most anybody would quit work
if the State would give a suth-
cient pension to enable him to
live on the shady side of Easy
street.
If a man can earn from one to
two dollars a day, why should
he be excused from work and
put on the pension roll?
Give a pension to those SOL
diers who lost a limb, and give a
pension to needy widows whose
husbands were killed in the war.

ENGLAND forbade this as murder,
according to the English law,
she was compelled to cast her
living body into the fire to be
burned with the dead body of
her husband.
Of these widows there are
now 100000 in India, who,
according to our code of morals,
are, we might say, sinless; they
are suffering starvation, abuse,
condemnation indescribable-and
we almost fear-unbearable by
women of Christian lands.
These, indeed, are the women
whose state calls for missiona-
ries; but these widows, to what
ever number OF millions, include
all the wretched women of India
for all must be married, and If a
husband have any affection of
body the vife's utter worthless
ness and sinfulness are the cause
and she must suffer.
Let US consider; to a popula-
ton of 285,000,000 people in
India, there are only eight or
nine hundred ordained mission
aries, dividing thus to each mis-:
sionary the care of about 16O, 1000
souls. Well may we ask with
surprise: Can one modern mis-
sionary with his environments of
a more refined civilization and
organization, in that cline, Of
scorching sun and poisonous
reptiles Wrest each, these 100, 900
souls from the grinding teeth of
33O,OOO,O0O gods, and the super
sition of 40 centuries?
We know how it is in our own
land; how utterly helpless some
time seems the minister Of the
gospel to wrest, to his own satls-
faction, one soul from one god
the "God of this world" in a
population of 100000 Chris
tan worshippers, and surround
ed by a civilization of 1900 years
of Christian era.
But, we think the little wom-
en-, with their little children,
who, as girls, must bear from
their birth the same almost un-
bearable punishment, and as
boys, inficting that punishment.
In women's names, in the COM
passion of women's hearts, they,
with their kind husbands and
adoring fathers, should set free
these little brown hued creatures
of a sister cline. These women
we're the original thought, and
to bring them before our pity
ing eyes this paper found it
necessary to rehearse statements
and figures perhaps we'll known
to US all.
Our men, indeed, are our
earthly gods: they would be mis-

barbarism from which we have
come. AS half heather them

The Piano Tuner.

A lady stepped into a piano
wareroom recently to engage a
tuner, but before doing so in,
sisted upon the strongest assur-
ance that the tuner was respon,
sible, says the Philadelphia
Musician. She was so deter
mined that the manager became
curious to known the reason fo1
her disbelief in the reliability OF
tuners. She gave her exper,
ience with the last tuner she
had, and this is the story as she
told it:
He had about finished tuning
the piano, when he looked uE
and said:
"Your instrument was in awful
condition. You ought to have
sent for me sooner"
"It was tuned only three
months ago."
"Then the man who did it GER;
tainly didn't know his business.
"No"
"No, ma,am. He had better
be doing street cleaning than
tuning pianos. Why, my deal
madam, a delicate instrument
like a piano needs fingers equal
ly delicate to handle it, combined
With an ear for unerring accur'
acv. The individual who at
tempted to tune this instrument

say he did it more harm than
good"

"Probably not; but you tuned
that instrument, nevertheless,
or made a botch of it in attempt,
ing to do so. It belongs to Mrs.
Jones, who sent it here while she
is out Of town. She told me you
always tuned it, and to send fo1
you when"
But the unhappy man fled with

NoSes and His horns.

Did Moses have horns? Certainly
not, but if you have ever had the
pleasure Of examining copy Of Mi
chael Angeles great picture Of "Ihe
Lawgiver' you have wondered why
the great painter surmounted the pa
Giarchal face, gray beard and becon-
ing priestly gown with pair Of horns
much resembling those Of two-year-
old animal OF the bovine tribe. The
reason is this: Jerome's Bible, the
Latin Vulgate, tells that when Moses
came down from the mountain top his
face was radiant" (rayed) with the
great light shining from his pure soul.
In the Greek Septuagint the ransla-
ton said it was ''cornua," meaning
radiant" Jerome used this later YER
sion in making his Latin Fulgate ano
translated ."cornua" as ''cornuta," the
last meaning horned. Angelo maze

lonate. They possess yet, some
where, stored away in the sub
concious brain, memory of the
fires through which they have
passed, and these memories
throb and vibrate with the oc-
currence of the present, making
women soft, and plastic to the
touch of pity, and downpour OF
hot tears.
The cries of these little child

than the 2O-foot walls of China
for these are spiked with men

met with the woman missionary,
who was also a physician: For
the blindness which this domes-
tic imprisonment produces the
child laid bare a part of her
story, andIasked for treatment.
The missionary meanwhile fail
ed not to tell her of Jesus, who,
while on earth, opened the eyes
of the blind. A mystifed ex-
preston crept over the sight
less face as with longing anxiety
she raised it to the missionary
and begged: "When will Jesus

him to open my eyes!
Poor, pitiable, blinded little

of the blessed missionary who is
leading her into the true Light.
We have many driving wheels
in our natures; we have duty,
which fails when obstacles are
great; we have pride, which fails
when privations gnaw our
vitals; we have ambition, which
fails with the setting Of its own
sun; we have Christian charity,
which is enormously powerful,
but requires constant sustenance
from the Spirit, and when this
insumciency fails, Chris t i a n
charity fails, we have, in fact,
but one great and sure driving
wheel in our natures-human
pity!
This pity is the controlling
power when in the heart Of inh'
del or ATHEIST all fine sentiments
of religious ecstacy are wanting
It is morepowerful than love,
for love usually is a selfish sentl,
ment seeking blessings where
with to bless it's own. Pity has
no creed or dogma. It shrinks
from suffering, it's speeds to the
afflicted. 1t was that tender
emotion that had compassion on
the multitude; indeed Pity was
