when the SHOW rama

On good ALTERNATING day the
SHOW comes, not In the star-shaued
dAkes that look so pretty when por-
trayed on page of the dictionary, but
in small pellets. These pellets are in
shape like tiny white footballs, usually.
and they come rolling and tumbIing
down-wind as if they had been kicked
for fair" by the halfback gods of the
gale. And yet while they roll and
/ tumble and bound they find lodging
places, and as the idler-gazes he sees
them pile up in wall on the crest OF
the road cut. Higher and higher grows
the pile, forming at first vertical
wall, but before this has risen three
inches it is seen to overhang the gulch.
Though round and easily rolled,
other as bricks would, until the over
hang is perhaps a fifth as great as the
elevation of the wall, and then, mar
velous and impossible as it would seem
to the unaccustomed observer a lip
forms on the crest of the wall and soon
it begins to droop and hang down.
Wider and longer it grows, farther and
farther it droops, until its shape is pre-
cisely like the lip formed on a huge
wave when it breaks on a shoal water
beach. Lips that are ten feet wide and
hang down three feet, clear of all,
though but six OF eight inches thick
where they join the chin OF the wall,
are not uncommon. By what magic Is
it that these frozen, oblC- pellets
that go bounding along as 9rrlly as
footballs form into such e1ape as
that? OF course, if the storm coz
tinues a time usually comes when the
lips break off because of their great
weight. And then no new lip forms to
replace the lost one. The snow merely
drops over into the ice of the wall and
gradually fills the cutting.-'5cribner's

Surprised His Wife.

a farmer, wishing to surprise his
wife, decided while going home from
town that he would appear before her
dressed in a new suit of clothes just
purchased in the city. Stopping at a
bridge he peeled off his old suit and
had thrown it in the creek before he
discovered that the bundle containing
his new clothes had Jared out of his
wagon. Although it was a cold night
it was also dark one, for which he
was thankful. Upon reaching home
the surprise to his wife was even more
complete than he had arranged for.

General James Grant Wilson, in his
address before the New York Histor-i
IcaA society last week, related an in
teresting anecdote Of General Arnold,
which has the merit of not being hack.
neyed through constant reiteration.
after the battle of Saratoga" said
General Wilson, Washington desired
to express to Arnold his appreciation
Of his bravery, for Arnold, and not
Gates, was the real hero of the conflict,
and he sent to Arnold a letter express
ing his sentiments and with it his gold
link cuffs, saying: Il learn that you
lost yours in the battle. Pray accept
mine as little token Of my apprecia-
tion.',
Arnold wore the Washington cuff
links until his treason, when, evidently
not relishing the memories they called
forth, he presented them to Colonel
Tarleton, one of the few British Off
GERS who showed him any sincere kind
ness. Colonel Tarleton had on his
staff an American loyalist, who was an
excellent officer and a most amiable
gentleman, and was made by Tar1eton
his military secretary. This was Israel
Halleck. the father of Fitz Greene Hal
leck, the we'll known poet of earlier
New York days.
Israel Halleck left the historic
Washington links to his son. The lat
ter, just before his death in 1867, gave
them to young man to whom he had
intrusted his manuscripts and other
material for his biography, and there
they are.''
AS General Wilson closed his story
he held up to view the old gold cuff
links that Washington had presented
to Arnold over a century ago, and at
the close Of the meeting they were in
spected with great Interestingly York

sAM JONES HITS THE TARHEELs.
You GO Home and Kill Dog Mean
Commit Suicide" He Shouts.

A special from Charlotte, N. c.,
says: Sam Jones and Evangelists
Stuart and Holcomb are holding a
big meeting at Wilkesboro, N. c.,
which is located in county known as
a rather stormy section when it
comes to moonshining and returns
show that the Georgia Evangelist is
turning himself loose in characteris-
tic style. Speaking of Jones a
special from Wilkesboro says:
He said that the worst enemy to
the people of Wilkes is themselves.
"You are just like your daddies.
Your daddies were old whiskey-soaks
and distillers and their kids are the
same things. You needn't talk to
me about your daddy. 1 care moth
thing about him, because I've seen
.lls kid /; and the more l see of the
kids the less l think of your daddies.
Why, bless you, your old daddy is
in hell frying and unless you quit
this whiskey business you'll go there,
too" He paid his respect 80 the
preachers of the county and said
that they were nothing but little
jackasses running about over these
hills.
He said that there were many peo-
pie who would get mad at what he
said. "But," said he, "I don't care.
I'm going to shoot into the hole
you're in, and you'll come out
a-humpin' and swearing you weren't
in there" The "hardshells" re-
ceived punch. He said that "you
hardshells will get mad why, bless
you, you are so narrow between the
eyes that could jab both your eyes
out with one finger"
His text was Proverbs II 10:
GAS righteousness tends to the light,
80 he that pursueth evil pursueth it
to his own death" Upon the whole
his sermon was logical and to the text,
interspersed by his wit and ridicule
The worst evil he found in Wilkes
was the liquor business. "The worst
crime you can commit is to tank up
on liquor. Then you are ready for
any crime ready to murder your
fellow-man, your wife or anybody
else. Then tell me what your daddy
done. I've got no use for You nor
your daddy neither. A man who
makes whiskey has no conscience.
| had as soon hunt for conscience in
an alligator as to hunt for it in dis
tiller."
Speaking of those who would get
offended at what he said, Jones re-
marked "You can take me to a

Hard on Josh Ashley.

The boys are telling new story
on Hon. Josh Ashley. The story
may or may not be true, but it is a
good one nevertheless.
Away back in the bowling days of
ten or twenty years ago Mr.. Ashley
was violent Tillmanite. On one
occasion when Mr.. Tillman came to
Anderson, Mr.. Ashley and some
more of the boys met him at the
depot with a carriage. After Mr..
Tillman had taken his seat in the
vehicle the crowd unhitched the
horses, and, attaching themselves in
stead, pulled our noble leader up
town to the hotel, shouting and wav-
ing their hats, and perspiring and
enjoying themselves immensely. All
this is matter of history. But times
have changed since then and Mr..
Ashley is not Tillmanite any more.
The other day, so the story goes,
Senator Tillman and drummer met
on the train and fell to talking, as
men will do. In the course of their
conversation the drummer remarked
"Senator, they tell me your old
friend, Josh Ashley, doesn't think as
much of you as he used to do"
"Ashley ?" asked the Senator, in a
puzzled sort of way. "Ashley2 Who
is Ashley ?'
"Why, don't you know" said the
drummer. "Josh Ashley, up in An
derson-used to be big reformer."
"Ashley p repeated the Senator to
himself, pondering deeply. "Ashley |
Oh, yes; remember now" he finally
said, Frightening up. 81 remember
that fellow now. I drove him to nv
carriage once when | visited Ander-
SON."
Some of the boys told this on Mr..
Ashley in his presence the other day,
and he tried to laugh at it, but a
sickly little grin was all he could
muster.--Florence Times.
