wha. Became Of a Negro Slave.

Many years ago there lived in
Africa a boy who was taken captive
in one of the savage wars between
two rival tribes and sold as a slave.
First he was traded for horse then
his new master thought he had got
ten a poor bargain and traded
him back again. Next he was
sold for cask of rum, but this
buyer also brought him back. A
third time he was traded for a
quantity of tobacco, but with the
same result. No one wanted the
poor, miserable slave boy, who was
nigh unto dispair. AT last he was
bought by a Portuguese slave dealer
and taken away. How little did the
poor slave boy know what the future
had in store for him, as laden with
chains he lay in the hold of slave
ship! But an English warship cap
tured the slave ship and freed the
oaptives. The African boy came
under Christian influence, was edu-
Gated and became missionary to
his benighted country and later
bishop of negro missions in West
Africa. His name is Samuel
Crowther.-Little Missionary.

First Aid.

Household and other journals are
publishing columns of information
concerning what should be done in
cases of accident or sudden illness.
and schools are wisely instructing
their pupils how to render "first aid"
before physician comes-how to
restore respiration, stanch wound
and save precious time in the battle
of life until authorized help arrives.
1t is useful, needful knowledge, but
one wishes there could be some
training in "first aid' for hurt souls
as well as hurt bodies. For they are
so many-the tempted, the doubling,
those bewildered by some sudden
blow, crushed by loss, wounded by
treachery-and the first touch of a
strong and kindly hand may mean so
much. There are many who might
be saved to new faith and stronger
life if only those about them were
quick to see the danger, and prompt
with the help of honest, unselfish
love and the thoughtful tenderness
which the master teaches.-Kind
Words.

Don't Put OK In Ditch.

Isn't it strange that some peoples
OK never gets in the ditch only on
Sundayp Is it right for farmer to
do other work during the week and
postpone the stacking of hay and
fodder till Sunday and then do it
ostensibly in order to save them ?
Emphatically, no. Then, is it right
to make repairs on engines or other
machinery on Sunday so as not to
lose time by stopping the machinery
during the weekp Emphatically,
no. We have heard of the latter
being done not thousand miles
from Edgefeld. Holy writ enjoius
"Remember the Sabbath to keep it
holy" "Be not deceived, God is
not mocked." Working by design
on Sunday in order to economic
time is like saving at the spigot and
wasting at the bung.

A Wife's Letter to Her Husband.

The following is an extract from a
letter an Aiken man received from
his wife, who has been sojourning in
the mountains during the hot wea-
ther while he kept bachelors hall at
home:
"Dearest: Be sure and not let
any flies in the house and see that
the cat is fed every day. Am hav-
ing lovely time. Keep the shades
down in the parlor. 1t is so cool
here we sleep under blankets. If
that poor woman from the country
comes in give her my polka dot shirt
waist. 1t is hanging on the left
hand side of the closet in the north
east room. We are going mountain
climbing Tuesday if it doesn't rain.
Baby has another tooth. DO be
careful and wipe your feet on the

The Sale Bridge.

The staunch old Scotchman, DIR.
Arnot, gives good illustration on
the total abstinence question. You
will find the world full of men who
will tell you that they "are not
obliged to sign away their liberty in
order to keep on the ssfe side"
"They know when they have had
enough--no danger of their ever be-
coming drunkards," and the like.
The Doctor says: "True, you are
not obliged. But here is river we
have to cross. 1t is broad and deep
and rapid whoever falls into it is
sure to be drowned. Here is mar
row foot bridge, a single timber ex-
tending across. He who lis 1.-the of
limb and steady of brain and nerve
may skip over it in safety. Yonder
is broad, strong bridge. Its foun-
dations are solid rock. It's passages
are wide; it's balustrade is high and
firm. All may cross it in perfect
safety-the aged and feeble, the
young and gay, the tottering wee
ones. There is no danger there.
Now, my friend, you say, 4 am not
obliged to go yonder. Let them 90
there who cannot walk this timber,
True, true, you are not obliged; but
as for us, we know that if we cross,
though we may go safely, many
others who will attempt to follow us
will surely perish. And we, feel
better to go by the bridget"
Walking a foot bridge over q rag
ing torrent is risky business, but it is
safety itself compared with tamper-
ing with strong drink. The surer
the man himself is of his own safety.
the less other people are assured of
it. When a man is just about fall
ing into the abyss he is sure he is the
only sober man around. The total
abstinence bridge is strong and safe,
and there is room for the whole earth
to pass over.-The Safeguard.

Are You Crazy Z

ls it not fact that every man is
more or less orazyP Not that every
man is fit subject for the insane
asylum, but that every man has a
streak of insanity, which is more or
less distinct.
Sometime ago a man was telling
a lady who is woman Of splendid
intelligence of habit into which he
had fallen.
1t had become habit with this
man to count his steps, especially in
passing by fences he would count the
steps between posts. If one mans
fence should happen to have posts at
irregular intervals it produced very
disagreeable sensation upon the
counter. On the other hand, if the
posts proved to be of the same dis
tance apart the counter experienced
a sensation that was pleasant. The
lady in question listened attentively
to the recital of the foregoing expe-
rience. As soon as the man ceased
speaking she said
"I never walk into a room and see
mirror but what I think soh if |
just had smoothing iron I would
dash it into that mirror"
A day or two later the man met
friend on the street and told him of
his conversation with the lady and
her remarks upon it. This friend,
with merry twinkle in his eye, said
81 never take out my pocket-knife
and open the blade but what think
to myself what if I job this in my
eye?'"
About this time the third gentle
man walked up. lie was informed
of the preceding conversations.
Having listened attentively, he re-
piled
'I never take out my razor and
shave myself but what l think,
what if / drew this thing across my
jugular p"
What is your crazy streak? Think
about it and see if there be not some
little freak of some kind which
marks you in this particular.-Union

Given Thirty Days for Stealing $4,000.

Sioux City, Iowa, October s.
Thomas Ward, Vice President of
the Lemars National Bank, who
pleaded guilty to embezzlement in
the sum of $4,000, was to-day sem
fenced to pay fine of $4,000 and
to stay in Jail until the amount is
paid. 1t was discovered to-day that
the sentence given Ward will amount
to his serving just thirty days in
Jail. There is a special Federal
statute providing that when a con-
vict is subjected to fine which he
cannot pay, he may go before a
United States Commissioner, after
serving thirty days, show that he
has no property subject to execution
in excess of $50 and obtain a legal
discharge.

Was Not a Cabbage Snake.

Mrs. e. G.. FAINT was cutting up cab
bage yesterday morning preparatory to
cooking 1t, when she found worm
about two or three inches long inside of
1t. The worm was cut into three pieces
by the knife before she found it.
The worm looked very much like O
common earth worm-those long wig
Cling things that you dig out Of the
ground when you go a-fishing. Mrs.
FAINT, however, thought 1t might be ono
of those cabbage snakes" about which
the newspapers had good deal to say
some months ago, and sent it to The
Daily Mail office.
While the reptile was being examined
by the snake editor, w. Il. w. Harrison
came along. He said he wasn't sure, but
he thoughtit might be cabbage snake.
He coulden't understand why O fishing
worm should be found in cabbage head.
just at this time, as good luck would
have it, Editor r. Z. Jaynes, of the
Keowee Courier, who was in the CITY on
business yesterday, came up. Mr.. Jaynes
was the original discoverer of the oab-
bage snake and is regarded as an author
ity on the subject.
Mr.. Jaynes said the thing found in
Mrs. Fant's cabbage was not genuine
cabbage snake, but that it was probably
an earth worm, or something close akin
to 1T. A cabbage snake, Mr.. Jaynes says,
is nearly transparent, and can hardly be
distinguished from the white leaves of
the cabbage head.-Anderson Mail,

A Cough Is Only a Symptom.

A cough is not a disease, but sump-
tom of disease. A cough always indi-
oates that either the throat or lungs are
affected. When the mucus lining of the
throat or lungs becomes inflamed the ir.
ritation causes coughing. Don't neglec,
a cough. 1t may be the symptom of se-
rious throat or lung disease. Rydale's
Elixir kills the germs that cause the
trouble, soothes the irritated mucus
membrane, gently stimulates the nerves
that control the respiratory organs and
thus helps nature to speedily restore
normal conditions and healthy action

Stomach Trouble Causes Heart Trouble.

Heart trouble is almost always caused
by stomach trouble. The stomach fails
to digest all the food, and the residue
ferments, forming excess of gas which
distends the walls of the stomach, caus-
ing pressure on the nerves and arteries
that lead To the heart. This causes the
heart to palpitate or skip beat occa-
sionally, or both, which is usually very
alarming, causing grave approximations.
Rydale's stomach Tablets will prevent
this trouble. They digest the food and
prevent gas from forming in the stomach.
If there is no gas in your stomach your
heart will not trouble you. Sold by j.

Educational
South Beat In Spelling.

One Of the annual big features at
the Chatauqua Assembly, Chautau-
qua, N. T., is an old fashioned spell
ing match. This year the contest
was between New York, Pennsyl.
yania and Ohio pisted against the
Rest of the World, each side having
20 representatives. The first can
didate TO go down was Young wo-
man from the "Rest of the World
and she failed on that old ssticker''
"siege." The first victim on the
"Nypano" side went down on the
still simpler word "feud."
Gradually the easy marks were
eliminated and there remained a few
veterans on each side who seemed
proof against all words in common
use. AT first the "Nypanos" were
in the lead, but gradually the cham
pions of the South, on the other
side, forged ahead, and to the cha
grin OF the, Northern contingent all
the honors finally went South of
Mason and Dixon's line.
The first prize was earned by Prof.
IL. q. krebs, of Summerville, N.,C.,
the second by Miss Margaret Young,
OF Dallas, Texas, and the third
went to Miss Anna E. Jackson, of
Fort Deposit, Md. According to
the Chautauqua Assembly Herald,
the Southerners won the heart of
the audience by their strong, clear
voices and superior enunciation.
