WHAT HEAVEN LAcKED.-Billy Saun-
ders Is a natural born wit. He Is in his
eightieth year, living here in New
York, and is still working at his trade,
painting. On recent occasion Billy
and one or two Of his mates were beau

partner, thinking to take rise" out
of Billy, said:
Il say, Billy, did you ever know Of
a painter going to heaven?"
YES" replied Billy, II knew Of one
once"
"But do you think he stayed there?"
"Well, did hear they tried to put
him out"
"And they did not succeed?"

"Well, sonny. it was this way: They
couldn't find a lawyer in the place to

"Oh, yes. You see, my holding was

WHY HE WAS SUccEssFUL.-The fact
that success is mainly due to hard
work has been expressed in many diff
ferent ways, but one Of the best was
that recently employed by a very sue
cessful commercial traveller. He was
talking with a companion, a rather
lazy fellow, when the latter exclaimed:
II declare, Jack, can't understand
why you always succeed in selling so
many more goods than I do"
It'll tell you why 1t is" replied Jack.
But" he added, "it's a trade secret,
and you mustn't tell it to everybody"
"Of course, I wouldn't do such a
thing" was the answer.
"Well, then," said Jack impressively,
II succeed because when I'm doing
business I wear out the soles of my
shoes more than the seat of my trou-
sers. London Telegraph.

A PROUD FATHER.-A member Of the
New York Yacht club was proudly
boasting to an old friend he had not
seen in fifteen years Of the merits Of
his Children. Henry, as you may pos
sibly have heard, is at Harvard. AS
yet he has done nothing for the fami-
ly. Archibald is at the Leland Stanford
university. I wanted to bring up my
sons as far apart as possible, under
hopelessly different and varying cir
cumstances. OF course, Archibald has
not as yet done anything for the fam
lily. Harriet is married to young -,
and, we'll, I really can't say that she
has done anything for the family. The
youngest child is Virginia, who is just
becoming useful"
Indeed? And what does Miss Vir-
ginia do?"
"She has just reached the age and
stature when she can wear her moth
er's old clothes. Captain, will you ac-
company me to our grillroom?'-

HIS HARD LUCK STORY.
No Joke to Own u Ranch Two Miles
Long by Three Feet Wide.


How about a pass to Buffalo?" in
quired a red-faced, CHEEKY looking man
of the poor superintendent the other
morning. The latter replied that trans
portation was suffering from a bear
movement and would not probably re-
cover to par for several days.
"Well, I'm used to it," remarked the
stranger. Ever since lost my ranch
out west, nothing can touch me. I'm
burglarproof."
How did you lose your ranch?' In
quired the superintendent, as he sharp
ened a pencil.
The applicant took back seat and
explained.
when I went out west forty years
ago, the country was rough and tough.
I was way out west-in fact, what you
might term beyond the west. I located
a strip of land and was about to build
a ranch house, when the government
stepped in and made a new allotment.
This left me strip Of land two miles
long, but only three feet wide. How
ever, I put up a house 3x3OO feet, and
went to work cultivating the rest of the
premises. Game was so thick that l
had to go out every morning and sweep
it off the doorsteps before I could make
my way to the we'll. Fortune favored
me at first.
There wasn't room enough for more
than one man to work at a time on the
property, it was so narrow, and one
thing 1 would never do again was to
overstep onto government property.
After the first corn harvest, 1 found
that the west end of my building was
filled with golden ears: but 1 did not
have room to shell it. Then came a

"LITTLE DROPS OF wAsER.o
Who Wrote It:-TwO Reputed Au
thOrs Set Aside.

Who Wrote It:-TwO Reputed Au-
thOrs Set Aside.
Librarian John Ashhurst, Of the Mer-
camille library, has made further in
vestigations into the claims Of Mrs.
Julia A. Carney for q memorial as the
author of the popular childhood hymn,
Little Things" This time the author
ship is even denied Florence Sargent
Osgood, who apparently disputed the
claims Of the Goldsburg woman.
Supt Brooks, who denied the request
that the school children be permitted
to contribute to a fund for Mrs. Car
ney, also made some inquiries on his
own account, but could not find the
poem among the books in the board of
education library. In the dictionary OF
hymnology, edited by John Julian, M.
A., an article written by Julian himself
gives DIR. E. C. Brewer as the author
Of Little Things" it being published
by him in 1S48 in Reading and Spell
ing" Subsequently the verses were
altered and appeared in other juvenile
publications.
The original Cor Brewery version Of
Little Things" reads:
Little drops Of water,
Little grains Of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
Make the beauteous land.
Straw by straw the sparrow
Builds its cosey nest,
Leaf by leaf the forest
Stands in verdure drest.
Letter after letter,
Words and books are made;
Little and by little,
Mountains level laid.
Drop by drop is iron
Worn in time away;
Perseverance, patience,
Ever win their way.
Ever finished labor
Once did but begin.
Try and go on trying,
That's the way to win.
Subsequently an American version of
the same poem appeared. Some ac-
credit this to Mrs. Carney, others to
Mrs. Osgood. This version Is the one
largely used in Sunday school hymnals
of little folks. 1t reads:
Little drops Of water,
Little grains Of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the beauteous land.
And the little moments,
Humble though they be,
Make the mighty ages
OF eternity.
Little deeds Of kindness,
Little words Of love,
Make our earth an Eden
Like the Heaven above.
So our little errors
Lead the soul aStray,
From the path Of virtue
Into sin to stray.
Little seeds of mercy,
Sown by useful hands,
Grow to bless the nations
Far in heather lands.
This version has been in turn altered
and, realtered in subsequent publica-
tions. Fitzgerald, in his STORY Of Fa-
nous Songs" gives the authorship Of
the lines to Mrs. Carney; but Libra
rian Ashhurst regards this as an error.
FITZGERALD, however, says the idea Is
not an original one with the author.
Shakespeare expressed the same idea
in beautiful language. IF we accept
that we will have to erect our memo
rial to Shakespeare and not Mrs.
Carney" was the good-humored COM
ment Of Mr.. Ashhurst.
Like the authorship Of Beautiful
Snow" the parentage Of Little
Things" Is clothed in obscurity.
While the friends and partisans Of
Mrs. Carney seek to send her name
down to immortality, others rise In
number to dispute her claims. In the
meantime the Philadelphia school chill
dren will probably spend their pennies
for candy.-Philadelph Inquirer.

FOR A REASONABLE DOG LAW.

Citizens OF York Consider Legisla-
tion Necessary.
To the General Assembly Of South Car
olina:
We the undersigned citizens Of York
county, respectfully urge such legis-
lation as will promise mitigation of
what is coming to be generally recog-
nized as the dog nuisance.
It gives us pleasure to say that in
his place the dog Is a useful animal,
often a source of pleasure to his
owner, and sometimes source of pro-
fit, and, therefore, we would not be
understood as asking anything like a
general prescription, or the enactment
Of anti-dog laws that would be either
unnecessarily harsh or unjust.
However there are too many dogs
in the country and too little RESPONSE
bility for their ownership, and we
think that for the common benefit, the
ownership of the dog should be sub
ject to certain wholesome restrictions.
We would, therefore, beg to suggest
the advisa bility Of an act providing
that all dogs in the state must wear
collars to be furnished by the respective
counties, at a certain proper price per
annum, to be fixed by the general as
sembly, that the revenue thus derived,
over the above expenses to go to the
public road or public school fund, and
that the respective counties pay boun-
ties, to be fixed by the general assem-
bly,, for the heads Of all dogs found
without collars, in accordance with the
requirements of law to be made and
provided.

Ledger, January 81: Miss Hattie Ell
liott and Master Eugene are visiting
their sister, Mrs. ]. B. Mackorell.
The building known as the old Stanley
store and dwelling combined, at Magill
or Russell place, was destroyed by fire
last Friday night. 1t was owned by
Mr.. Simon Bruce and was worth about
$400. 1t was occupied at the time by
Mr.. Geo. C. Bell, who saved none Of
his goods, the fire having made too
much headway before being discover

Bruce nor Mr.. Bell carried any insur-
fire was of incendiary origin; but Sher-
iff Hunter, who was sent for and spent
a day or more Investigating the burn
ing, was unable to get any clue which
would warrant an arrest or make GER
tain that the fire was incendiary..
