The work of the relief committee ap-
pointed by the mayof of Spartanburg
to handle the funds and give relief to
those who suffered by the recent floods
In the Vicinity is done and the COM
mfttee has been discharged. The work
was completed when checks for the
amount remaining in the treasury
were mailed out to farmers whose
crops were destroyed along the
streams. This was decided to be the
best way to dispose of the remaining
funds after all suffering had been re-
lieved, and no actual want any longer
existed: Each farmer received an
amount proportionate to his loss, and
the amount Of funds on hand, ranging
from SIS to $50 each.
According to the report OF the treas,
urer of the committee, the receipts
were as follows: Subscriptions from
out of town, s21 21,454.sS; subscriptions
from spartanburg, $4,54s,29. Tot u,
$25, ,998.27.
The principal disbursements were:

relief committee at Pacolet, $3.50;
relief committee at Glendale, $1,000;
relief committee at Fingerville, $500;
relief committee at Whitney, $500.
The committee did good work and
deserves the thanks and appreciation
of the people.

BACTERIA EVERYWHERE.
Much Time and Money Wasted in
Futile Efforts to Escape
the Germs.

Radium destroys germs, but radium
costs 5000 times as much as gold. If
a barber puts a fresh towel under the
head of each customer he raises the
price of shave, says Golfers Weekly.
If he were compelled to steriize his
instruments, to the degree undertaken
by one medical barber shop in Paris
his fee would approach the dollar mark.
Every man who smokes puts generous
allowance of germs between his teeth.
Uncooked food, like salads, has the bac-
terra of the water with which it is pre-
pared. Not only are we unable wholly
to avoid the deadly germ. but many un-
doubted methods of outwitting him cost
too much in time, money or abstention
Some there be who avoid cars, and 9TH
ers the public carriage. from dread OF
exchanging germs with occupants.
There are even those who, at the the
ater, prefer box because 1t promises q
species Of bacteria superior to what is
offered in the stalls. At the opposite
extreme are thousands who gayly drink
from any vessel, and many who by the
use of public towels and soap exchange
honest soil for insidious beasts. The
number Of deaths caused by careless
ness probably surpasses the number en-
couraged by worry. but both are great
The best chance belongs to the man who
calmly takes what precautions are easy
and within his means, and omits the rest
without wasting thought. Secure in the
knowledge that death turks in every
flower and hurts us most in apprehen-
sion, he is observant without timidity,
and careful without anxiety.

tie girl ten years old. They stood on
the balcony of villa in Rome, says the
Golden Penny, and near them, over
hanging the wall which separated the
villa from the adjoining one, were large
clusters of ripe oranges. What pity"
said the little girl, that those oranges
belong to our neighbor, for would be
very glad to eat one" As she spoke the
young priest ran down from the bal
cony, quickly climbed the wall and
picked half a dozen of the largest
oranges, which he hastened to place in
the little girls lap. At first she was so
dismayed at his temerity that she could
not touch them. but. with q. laugh, he
assured her that he had not committed
any crime and that she might safely
eat them. A few years ago the duchess
of Bresci. an old lady with snow-white
hair, went to the vatican to pay her
respects to his holiness, and Leo. XIII.
received her with extreme kindness.
''Do you remember, your holiness" sud-
denly asked the duchess, that day,
long ago. when you picked the oranges
for me?" Hush. hush! Don't say q

not only to cover the 16 kilometers be-

moment of the start. The poets start
ed from the Cabaret des Quat'z Arts
that last fortress of Montmartre wit
and humor, the last of the cabarets
artistiques on the Sacred Hill. M.
Trombert, its genial owner, acted as
starter to the score or so Of chanson-
niers who lined up on the boulevard.

sees was SO crowded with people that
the police could only with difficulty
keep narrow lane up the center
for the pedestrians. The result was
that when the starting pistol was
fired those facing the avenue dashed
forward and took the lead, while the
girls to right and left of the line had
to fall in behind. In fact, a process
sion was formed with ranks five or
six deep; those in the rear had no
more chance Of forcing their way
through the solid mass in front of
them than they had of flying.
But it was intensely amusing to see
how seriously the competitors all took
the affair. With set teeth and clenched
hands, their eyes glued to the road
in front of them, they raced along.
l am afraid, if the ordinary rules of
heel-and-toe walking were applied to
the race, about 80 per cent. or SC
would be disqualified. Many of them
covered the ground at sort of glid-
ing run, which was very far removed
from walking. But as they were all
more or less offenders, it die not mat
ter much. There is no doubt about the
way they got over the ground. By
the time the Ronde point in the
Champs Elysees was reached they
were all flushed; and when they go
to the Arc de Triomphe they were as
red as poppies.
AS there were $50 prizes, ranging
from suite of bedroom furniture anC
300 francs down to a packet of pic.
ture postcards, it was worth theil
while pressing on. Then there were
prizes for categories of all kinds
for the youngest girl and the oldest
for the prettiest, for the tallest, fo,

Savoyards, Auvergnats, Lorrainers

WORK|NGMEN'S CLUB
Pretentious Building Being Erected

The Finest Structure of It's Kind In

forts of q Rich Mans
Clubhouse.

The construction of 5000, 900 club
house for workingmen in New York
points to the trend of the times. 1t
is no longer to be all work and no
play for the poor, or at least the
working classes.
Labor unions in various parts of the
country are building structures in
which to locate their offices, and in
some of the smaller cities they have
constructed neat though comparative
~ inexpensive clubhOuses, but none
will equal in point of magniicence of
structure or furnishing the one now
| being built in New York city. In many
ways it will rival the clubs of the
rich, and will contain much the same
accommodations
| The plans for this structure call for
a building five stories high, every
floor of which will be devoted to the
pleasure, comfort, physical and intel
lectual improvement of the working
classes comprised in the clubs mem
bership.
The Workingmen's Educational and
Home association are the builders.
1t was organized in 1896 and now has
membership of 1,400 The old home
of the association of East Eighty
sixth street long ago became too small
to accommodate the large and growing
membership, and it was proposed to
build new structure. To secure the
means entertainments were given,
small assessments made upon the
members from time to time, until suf-
icient funds were in the treasury to
buy the ground for the new structure.

fourth street. Now that the ground is
paid for the club feels able to go ahead
with the building, and it will be
pushed to early completion.
A portion of the first floor of the
new building will be devoted to
model gymnasium. This will be 60
feet long, 40 feet wide and "a feet
high. 1t will be equipped with all
sorts of approved gymnastic apph-
ances, and around it will be running
track. The membership of the club
are enthusiastic over the gymnasium

Another feature of the building
which promises to be popular Is the

PARIS WALKING MAD
The Craze for Pedestrianism Becom-
ing a Serious Problem.
Competitors in the Races Fill the
Streets-Many Glasses of People
Engage in Them Some
Amusing Incidents.

Paris.-Not long ago it was London,
and now it is Paris that has gone
mad with a walking craze. Every
Sunday and holiday the streets of this
city are overrun with crowds of men
and women competitors in walking
race. On recent Sunday we had
three-the midinettes, or dressmakers'
apprentices, the carriers, and the
chansonniers, or singers and poets OF
the Montmartre cabarets. AS each of
them brought together immense
crowds of people, l imagine the pre-
feet of police will soon get tired of
the new Partisan craze.
l must say nothing more amusing
was ever seen in Paris than the
marche des midinettes. OF course, as
sporting event it simply did not ex-
ist. The whole question was one of
getting we'll away; those who were
favored by the START, if they could
walk at all, had the race in hand.
The 1000 competitors were drawn up
in line across the Place de la Con-
corde. The Avenue des Champs Ely

in Argyllshire, the other in Aberdeen
shire, thus gave their opinions: Deer
sleep or rest from about ten or eleven a
m. to four p. m.;" Deer sleep from
noon to five p. M"
It Is not uncommon occurrence to
come on deer asleep: a stalker in the
Black mount had the rare experience Of
coming upon parcel of seven stays, all
sound asleep. A herd was seen to move
in Glenfeshie, but one stag remained be-
hind, lying motionless. On careful ap-
proach he was found to be asleep. Per-
hays, however, the oldest occurrence OF
this nature happened in Braemore, when
a stalking party, on going up to the
stag which had just been shot, found a
three-year-old close to it fast asleep. In
fact, 1t is by no means rare to get within
. yard or two Of sleeping deer.

A young man, probably thirty yeara

found dead beside the Milwaukee track
IN Winona. The mans right foot was

and change in his pockets and pass
book showing that he had been en-

where it is being held to await the de-
