cunningly formed purpose of
prejudicing this court by read
ing from books about cases
which are not before this tribu
nal. It is an insult to the bench
and I ask your honor to take
judicial cognizance of the mat
ter" And thereupon the vir-
tuous justice of the peace fined
the book lawyer for contempt of
court and gave judgment for the
other attorney.
However, the instance is no
more amusing than another
which took place in Harper coun-
ty not so many years ago. A
man had been arrested on the
charge Of cattle stealing and I.
P. Campbell, now of Wichita,
had been engaged to defend
him. When the preliminary ex-
animation came on before Squire
Spencer, a local justice of the
peace, the county attorney, with
his assistant, was on hand to
prosecute. At the first word
said by the county attorney,
Campbell challenged his right to
appear in the case and cited the
statute. which says that in a pre-
liminary hearing the accused
shall be entitled to counsel.
''Your honor" said Campbell,
solemnly, "that statute provides
that the accused shall have the
right to counsel at the prelimi-
nary hearing, but nothing is
said in it about the State having
the same right" And Squire
Spencer, being a Daniel come to
Judgment, said the point was
we'll taken and that the county
attorney must be ruled out-the
grand result being that the cat
tie thief went free.-Kansas

Mrs. R. G. Bacon, of Edge
field read before the recent
meeting of the Daughters of, the
Revolution the following inter-
esting and instructive address
on "The Revolutionary Heroines
of South Carolina::"
Madam Regent and Daughters
of the American Revolution: I
have the honor by appointment
of our state regent to address

truly grand and inspiring theme.
But our limited time is too short
to do justice to the long roll of
noble women who devotedly
stood by to uphold their lords
and heroes in the momentous
struggle as they fought and
triumphed in our cause for liber-
ty. Their lives and records are
too well l-known to you and to the
world for. words of mine to add
one iota to their lustre and
glory.
Therefore, I have selected one
choice spirit among them to
claim you attention on this oc-
casion whose deed of daring
illumines the dark pages Of his

man can do for love Of country.

About two miles from Colum-

the banks of the Congaree under
the shade of farspreading oaks,
within hearing of the low-mur-

grave unhonored by monumen-

urn or animated bust" marks
the spot. Under this neglected
mound rest the mortal remains
of heroine Of the American

But Sc Hadn't the Nerve to Pay the
Price Demanded.
A handsome bachelor Of Baltimore,
well known in social and educational
circles, acknowledges the truth Of the
following story: He was driving with
a very pretty and attractive young wo-
man when on the outskirts Of the city
they met lad Of about twelve years
leading by 8 chain singularly ugly
but finely bred bull terrier. The pretty
girl went into raptures over the dog,
and her escort determined the animal
should be hers
"Say, sonny" he called, what will
you take for your dog?'
"Nawthing," replied the lad
Nonsense" cried Mr.. Blank, "8ere's
IS for him"
mo, WON'T. This here dog amt foc
sale"
''Ten," said Mr.. Blank, and then,
growing desperate, fifteen, twenty"
But the owner still refused.
All the time the conversation was go
ing on the youth, although talking to
the man in the buggy, kept his eyes
fixed on the other occupant Of the yehS-
Gle, and at last he said gravely:
'I don't want yer money, but If you'll
Just give that lady there kiss you
may have the dog"
Mr.. Blank was speeches.. he stared
at the boy an instant and then put the
whip to his horse, starting him off at
run.
The story goes that q mile was gone
over without a word being spoken,
when as the horses rapid gait became
slower as it turned down a country
lane the pretty girl turned ever so
slightly and said shyly, "Oh, MI.
Blank, why didn't you buy that dog?-

In 1871, when the cloud of de-
feat was darkest over the South,
when Charleston and the low
country were in possession of
the British and Gen. Greene had
the siege of Ninety-Six, the
stronghold of the Tories in the
up-country, and was retreating
before the approach Of Lord
Rawdon, strongly reinforced
from England, a striking event
took place.
Gen. Greene had halted
on the banks of the Enoree,
after having had the good for
tune to intercept dispatches sent
by Balfour to Lord Rawdon an
nouncing q change of plans.
This important news he was ex-
ceedingly anxious to communl-
cate to Gen. Sumter, the parts
an leader who was many miles
below him on the Wateree. But
the country was teaming with
blood thirsty Tories, ready to
seize everyone suspected OF
sympathy for the Wings and
none of the men were inclined to
risk certain death should they
fall into the hands of the enemy.
In this dilemma, Unexpectedly, a
young and pretty girl appeared
before Gen. Greene to offer her
services in the hazardous under
taking. The general was de
lighted by the spirit and bold
nesss of the young girl, not
more than Is years old.
Perceiving her to be bright and
intelligent beyond her years he
carefully communicated the con-
tents of the letter he entrusted
to her for fear of its being lost
on the way.
The heroic maiden mounted a
feet steed, crossed the Wateree
and pressed on to Sumter's
camp. The second day of her
Journey while passing through a
dense wood she encountered a
party of Tory scouts who seized
her as an object of suspicion and
locked her up as q prisoner in a
house nearby. Her ready wit
and innocent replies protected
her until a woman was sent for
to examine and search her. No
sooner had the men left her in
solitary confinement than she,
with great presence of mind,
disposed of the dispatch most
efectually by eating it piece by
peace, and nothing contra band
was found when the matron ar
rived to make the search. Her
apparent simplicity and inno-
cence so imposed upon the Brit
ith officer that she was soon
released and allowed to proceed

HOW TO SAVE YOUR SONS.

The mother who studies and compre-
hends the restless, aggressive nature OF
her growing boys will understand some
thing of what is necessary upon her
part if she is to save them from for
saking their home for demoralizing IN
huences and evil compauionshlps.
Mothers ought to understand the nature
of developing manhood. A writer in
one of the magizines says: 'slt is ex-
cessively restless It is disturbed by
vague ambitions, by thirst for action,
by longings for excitement, by irrep-
resible desires to touch life in manifold
ways. # you, mothers, rear your sons
so that their homes are associated with
the repression Of natural instincts, you
will be sure to throw them into the so
ciety that in some measure can supply
the need of their hearts. They will not
go to the public houses at first for love
of liquor-very few people ike the
taste of LIQUOR; they 60 for the anina-
ted and hilarious companionshlp they
find there, which they discover does so
much ITO repress the disturbing rest
lessness in their breasts. See to it, then
that their homes compete with public
places in attractiveness. Open your
blinds by day and light bright fires by
night. illuminate your rooms. Hang
pictures upon the wall. Put books and
newspapers upon your tables. Have
music and entertaining games. Banish
demons of dullness and apathy that have
so long ruled in your household, and
bring in mirth and good cheer. Invent
occupations for your sons. Stimulate
their ambitions in worthy directions.
While you make home their delight,
fill them with higher purposes than
mere pleasure. Whether they shall
pass boyhood and enter upon ma9nooo
with refined tastes and noble ambitions
depends on you. Believe it possible
that, with exertion and right means, a
mother may have more control over the
destiny of her boys than any other in
huence whatever. ."-Lutheran Obser-

A man who is not accustomed to drink
ing knows not now to find a blind tiger
unless some wicked one shows him the
way. Oh, sisters, how cen you let the
preparation for dinner or the finish
ing OF some garment prevent you from
meeting together for prayer that God
may show US the way to get rid OF such
an evil and that our men may elevate
the polls, instead of pulling our men
into Office with votes bought by liquor.
Better tattered garment, a little: dis
ordered house, or a scanty meal than
to neglect to pray for the peace and
prosperity of our homes. Men get into
Office little caring about the: heart
aches OF many woman caused by her
husband, brother or son made drunk
by some political schemer.
It does not matter who reads this,
man or woman, they know that these
things are true, and I beg you, inplore
you to wake up and see just where you
stand for God and home and every land.

Insult of Patronage.

The Washington Times protests
against the insult of patronage as
applied to children, and makes it
strong:
IA story which recently appear
ed in one Of the magazines con.
tains the moral, pithily delivered
by small boy. that "a gentleman
should be treated as such, irrespec.
tive Of size If people paid atten-
ton TO this maxim there might be
less trouble In the training of chill.
dren in some families.
"Thc plan which they follow in
England and in most foreign coun-
tries Is to treat children as children
and keep them in the nursery or
the sehoolroom till they reach re-
sponsible age, The American sys-
ten has been, owing to circum-
stances, quite different. Children
in this country are made the COM
panions, pets, playthings or slaves
Of their elders until they reach the
age OF discretion.
There are some features OF this
system which are very good. The
child natures more rapidly when
it is allowed companlonship with
its elders, and the result is some.
times precocious and oversharp
enfant terrible, and sometimes a
clever and capable youngster who
is delight both to parents aad
frients. It all depends on how it
is done.
"Some people have way OF
treating childen as if they were of
2 different race or species. They
snub and patronize them, max c
them useful, show them off, terror.
ize and spoil them alternately,
and generally treat them as in.
ferior beings. If child is to be
RELOCATED to this position, it had
better be kept in the nursery dur
ing the process. But if it is given
to understand, even when very
young, that those who are admit.
ted to the company of gentlemen
and ladies will be treated politely,
and must treat others with courte-
sy or suffer the penalty of bad
manners, the result generally is
that the child rises to the occasion
and initiates its elders. By this
system the youngster is given a
standard of behavior. By the
other. it is compelled TO make its
own standard, and usually sue
ceeds about as we'll as an adult
would In Observation-Disclosures"

varieties suitable for growing in
