Gastonia Gazette, April 4: It was a
very narrow escape that little Susie
White, 5-year-old daughter of Mr.. VIM.
White, had from fatal burning We'd
nesday night. Her brother held Gel
luloid puff-comb above the lamp and 1t
ignited. When he went to throw 1t In
the fire it lodged on his sisters hair,
which was nearly all burned off, but
she was not otherwise hurt. Mr.. White
smothered the flames under his coat.
Mrs. G. r. Spencer, with the chill
dren, came up from Yorkville on We'd
nesday, and is spending a few days
with her sister, Mrs. G. w. Howell.....
Tuesday night Mr.. Joseph F. Riddle
of Pleasant Ridge and Mrs. Dora Will
son, of the Avon, were married by Dr.
j. C. Galloway. The ceremony was
performed at DR.. Galloway's residence
on York street. Mr.. Will Grissom
and Miss Leila Algood were married
Wednesday evening at the home OF the
bride at Cherokee Falls, S. c. The
groom is a son of Mr.. Sam Grissom, OF
Pleasant Ridge, and has been working
with the Cherokee Falls company. He
is a worthy and most excellent young
man. The bride is a Jones seminary
girl and a young woman OF accom-
plishments and many fine personal
qualities. The Loray mills received
by wire yesterday morning an order
for 100000 worth of their sheetings FOR
the Shanghai trade. Messrs. Gray and
Love, whose labors have been unremit-
ting for this great enterprise, deserve
the congratulations they are abundant
ly receiving. Cotton started In the Lo-
ray January 1st. Weaving commenc-
ed the middle of February. Samples
of cloth were ready March 1st, and
were Immediately shipped to China
through Woodward, Baldwin & Co., OF
New York. There they were to be ex-
amined by the Chinese trade. These
people are very particular about their
textile fabrics. If a thing pleases the
Chinaman he takes it, If it doesn't, he
let's it alone. The Shanghai trade Is
worth having. Would the Loray's pro-
dcts suit It? On the answer to that
question much depended. The sheet
ings suited-the Chinese were delighted
with them and although the samples
were the first products Of new mill
they were graded with the very best
of their class Of goods.

Why One Talesmnn Was Scratched

Why One Talenmnn Was Scratched.
In a certain case the judge ordered
the sheriff to call the roll Of thirty-five
"good men and true" selected for jury
duty. Only twenty-five answered to
their names, and the sheriff looked
somewhat inquiringly at the judge. but
the latter was calmly wiping his glass;
es while he uttered the customary:
"Any desiring to be excused from SER
vice on this jury will now come for
ward:
Twenty-Five men made movement
forward, and the clerk stopped his
work Of noting those who had failed
to respond to the summons to look
in wonder at the entire venire desir-
ing to escape.
"Well," said the judge, speaking to
long, thin. nervous-looking young
man, "why do you wish to be excus-
ed?"
IF it please your honor" answered
the aforesaid thin Individual, "I'd like
to be excused on account Of Illness.
I'm suffering from something that
might prove embarrassing to the other
jurors, and it Is certainly embarrass-
ing to me-"
What is the nature of your illness?"
asked the Judge.
"Well." said the young man, hesita-
tingly. "I'd prefer to tell you in pri-
vate. I'm somewhat delicate about
speaking Of it in public"
II cannot hear anything in private" "
replied the judge impatiently. "If you
want to be excused you must tell me
here and now what is the matter with
YOU"
"Well, If I must tell it here-I have
the Itch"
THE itch?" echoed the judge, and,
turning to the clerk, without marking
how apropos his observation was, he
said: "Mr. Jones, scratch the juror
off."-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

CURED BY TELEPHoNE.-That stam-
mering may be cured is a well-known
fact, but that it may be cured by tele-
phone is not so widely known. Yet an
exchange asserts that such may be the
case.
There is an old farmer in eastern Ore
gon, who has a slight impediment of
speech.
He went to the city of Pendleton and
talked to a friend in Portland over the
telephone, several hundred miles away.
When the talk was finished the friend
at the other end Of the line said: you
seem to talk better since you went to
Pendleton. You do not stutter any
thing like as much as you did"
NO" said the Pendleton man, as
clear and straight as bell, "a man
cannot afford to stutter through a tel
ephone when to talk costs rs cents a
minute"

SUPPLIED THE WANT.-A certain
writer while in San Francisco, visited
the new house of an old friend, gen.
tleman Of Irish extraction. The hostess
evidently took great pride in the house,
the furnishings of which were new and
beautiful and gave every evidence of
taste and refinement. The writer, who
has an eye for the beautiful, gave un-
stinted praise to everything he saw.
But" he said, Il am sorry to see
that your house, beautiful as 1t is,
lacks one ornament which no Irish
house should be without"
What is that?" she asked unsus-
piciously.
"A pig" replied the writer. with a
satisfied chuckle.
The hostess's eyes sparkled.
1T did," she said Indignantly, but
you have supplied the want."-New

COULDN'T GET AwAY.-This story is
told of Robert J. Johnson, secretary or
a New England company which de-
votes it's energies and its capital to the
making of saws. Not long ago there
was a reception at Mr.. Johnson's home,
given in honor Of his newly married
daughter. Among the guests was a
young man from New York, who was
a stranger to most of the company.
After paying his respects to the host
ess and the other members of the re-
ceiving party the New Yorker wander
ed helplessly about looking in vain
for some one to talk to. Finally he
found his way into the smoking room,
where he met Johnson, whom he did
not recognize.
"Awfully dull affair, isn't it?" ask
ed the guest, addressing his host.
Very" replied Johnson.
"Say, let's go home" suggested the
bored man from Gotham.
II can't" answered Johnson, with a
tinge of regret in his tone, II live here"

 Her Child. Paine'S Celery Compound Triumphed After the Fail- ures of Physicians.

Mrs. Tallman. of 191 Redmond St., New Brunswick, N. J., grateful for the rescue of her little boy from suffering and death.
 writes as follows:-
 "I have used Paine's Celery Compound
 for our little boy. He had been under the doctors care for five months, but did not
 seem to get much better. The physician
 said the child had spinal trouble. He Is
 three years old and was obliged to creep
 on his hands and knees and was too weak to sit up long at time. We bought q
 bottle of Paine's Celery Compound, and
 before 1t was half gone. we saw a big
 change in the boy. He is now real fat and strong, and can walk all around the house. and has red. plump cheeks. Paine's Celery Compound cured him"
 In the face of such testimony. who can deny the fact that Paine's Celery Com pound restores to strength. vigor and new life? Hundreds of such letters as Mrs. Tallman's are on file for the inspec- ton of doubters.
 When your children are weak, run down. nervous, fretful. Respondent, have
 loss of appetite, slow circulation of blood, give them Paines Celery Compound for a week or two, and note we'll the cheering results in returning health and vigor. We strongly urge the immediate use of the great, medicine for all sickly and weak boys and girls.
