Even Later.

He had been talking and talking
and talking and talking until the
poor girl was 80 tired and sleepy she
didn't know whether it was this week
or last week or come next Sunday,
and the clock on the mantel was
holding up it's hands either in pity
or in protest. Finally it occurred to
the young man that an evening call
had it's limits, at least in latitude
where the nights we're not elk months
long.
"Bless me-" he exclaimed, starting
up suddenly, cit certainly must be
time I was going home"
"Oh," she said in a dazed kind of
way, "it must be a good deal later
than that.

Caution!

This is not a gentle word-but
when you think how liable you are
not to purchase the only remedy
universally known and remedy that
has had the largest sale OF any medi-
cine in the world since 1868 for cure
and treatment of Consumption and
Throat and Lung troubles without
losing its great popularity all these
years, you will be thankful We called
your attention to BQschee's German
Syrup. There are 80 many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists
and others that are cheap and good
for light colds perhaps, but for severe
Coughs, Bronchitis, Croup-and es-
pecially for Consumption, where there
is difficult expectoration and cough.
ing the nights and mornings, there
is nothing like German Syrup. The

this year. Regular size Is cents.
At all druggists.

Tendency Of the Times.

The tendency of medical science
is toward preventive measures. The
best thought of the world is being
given to the subject. It is easier
and better to prevent than to cure.
It has been fully demonstrated that
pneumonia, one of the most danger
Gus diseases that medical men have
to contend with, can be prevented by
the use of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. Pneumonia always results
from cold or from an attack of in
fuenza (grip), and it has been OBJ
served that this remedy counteracts
any tendency of these diseases toward
pneumonia. This has been fully
proven in many thousands of cases
in which this remedy has been used
during the great prevalence of colds
and grip in recent years, and can be
relied upon with implicit confidence.
Pneumonia often results from
slight cold when no danger is appre-
hended until it is suddenly discover
ed that there is fever and difficulty
in breathing and pains in the chest,
then it is announced that the patient
has pneumonia. Be on the safe side
and take Chamberlain Cough Rem
e1y as soon as the cold is contracted
It always cures. For sale by the

Tae LEGISLATURE.

The General Assembly has at last
settled down to business and new
bills are being introduced and others
are passing through their various
stages with swiftness that indicates
the purpose of the members to make
the best use of the time embraced
within the Constitutional forty days
as possible.
During the past week much pre-
liminary work has been gotten out
of the way leaving the field open for
the interrupted transaction of needed
legislation.
G A. Wood. Esq, Of Marion, has
been elected Associated Justice of
the Supreme Court to succeed Hon.
Y. j. Pope, recently promoted Chief
Justice, and VIM. Elliot, Jr., of Co.
lumbia, Code Commissioner in place
of W. 81. Townsend, who resigned
to accept the position Of Assistant
Attorney General.
The Senate passed the biennial
session and other bills, but ques-
ton as to the legality of the proceed
ings was raised by Senator Brown
it was decided to undo what had
been done and start over anew.
We are proud of our delegation,
each one of, whom is one or the
other of the most important COM
mittees of the Senate and House.
It is rather early in the session to
give anything like an intelligent syn
opsis of the proceedings as each
member has some pet sheme to intro
duce which, by way of salVe to
lacerated feelings, some interest
must be given it by some member
before delivering the knock out blow
by striking out the enacting words.
As soon as all this skirmishing is
over and the Legislature is confront
ed with actual work, then We may
reasonably look for hot times and
soul stirring and "water bringing"
debates.
1Just as the compositor had put
the above in type this Friday after
noon, the daily papers just received
says the Senate had rescinded it's
former action and declared the busi-
ness of Wednesday to be legal, so
the biennial sessions and child labor
bills go to the House without further
delay.
Both Houses have been holding
day and night sessions and the prob
ability is that no time will be wasted
hereafter in disposing of business.

ed unlawfully of political rights and

ton of Virginia, which cost half a

want to say that by the time We get

tuition it will cost the state of Viaginia
half million more"
Hays then turned his attention to
the movement led by Brooker Wash
ington. 1T is claimed that the negro
industrial schools are the proper lines
of effort for the race. Talk about
education and wealth and say that
they make votes for the negro! It's
q lie."
He is reputed TO have declared in
conclusion: And just one word
about the question of the absorption
of the races. No two people having
the same religion and speaking the
same tongue living together have
ever been kept apart: This is well
known and it is one of the reasons
why the dominant race is crushing
out the strength of the negro in the
south"
The fact that there should have
been this outbreak right in the
midst of the agitation of the south
ern question because of President
Roosevelt's action in the Indisnola
case and making certain appoint
ments has led * its being pointed
out as the natural outcome of this
agitation. Administration politicians
are confessedly greatly worried
over the different Developments in
the recent discussion of the southern
question. Leading negroes deprecate
what they term the Hays outbreak.

Popping the Question.

A bashful Irish swain wished to
make a proposal of marriage, but
his courage failed him, and be in
duced his sister to become an inter-
mediary, he remaining outside the
half closed door, hidden, but within
earshot, to hear the result.
II was not favorable. The fair
one sacily tossed her head and re-
piled:
"Indade, now, if I'm good enough
to be married, I'm good enough to
be axed !"
Hearing this, the anxious lover
trust his head inside the door and
said beseechingly:
"Norah, darlin" will ye do what
Maggie axed ye?"
When a man marries, his debt
begins.

A Game to Sharpen Wits.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
Now that the long days are over with the
unfulfilled promises of the tickle, faithless
summer, we turn with sense of relief to
the thought of the coming long, coy even
ings, with the shattered windows and cur
tanned doors and bright freight For, how
ever the sun may fail to dispel clouds on
summer days, he can hardly avoid setting
at his appointed hours on winter evenings,
so We cannot be disappointed of the dark
ness we have been cheated out of picnic
sunshine. If the tennis tournaments have
been killed with torrents of rain, and boat
ing parties have suffered defeat under the
cruel mercies of the fast winds, and croquet
matches have been postponed sine die for
any or all of these reasons, why. let us take
heart and build our hopes on something
else. We shall have all the more Zest to
spare for social gatherings.
1t Is a question whether the arrears of the
al fresco days of June, July and August
can be paid up by the pleasures of progress
sive whist or hearts, by bridge or ping pong.
Perhaps not; perhaps we are just little
tired of these much-tried friends of the past
Perhaps, too, we want a change from book"
parties and error parties and the five
senses" parties and all the rest of it.
,Apropos of evening parties. here is a new
Idea, called Mystery Question Party.
Every guest brings a written statement Of
a mystery or a model or drawing illustrat-
Ing the same , The mysteries are are numbered ere
upon them, writing down one solution of
each puzzle. Two prizes are offered. The
propounder Of the mystery which is ex-
planned least correctly gets one prize, and
the who gets the greatest number of
correct solutions receives the other. There
may or may not be "booby" prizes. Here
are two specimen questions of actual fact:

mounted to speak to friend, wheeled the
machine, holding the handlebar in my left
hand; suddenly the bell fixed at the other

ring?
2. Ny gold-rimmed pince-nez were lying
on a small side table in the dining ROOM

person entered the dining room in the

the hall?
Answers: 1. An acorn dropped from an
oak tree and struck the bell.
4. A kitten playing with the glasses moved
them gradually TO the place where they
were found.

By ERNEST HAROLD BAYNEs,

II was bright morning in the late sum-
mer, and, clad in rubber hip boots and
waterproof coat, l lay in the wet grass at
the edge of a swamp. watching a family Of
muskrats. who were busy with some work
which 1 was anxious to see more Of But
they were not in the least interested in my
observations. and .inconsiderately moved
away long before I had finished with them.
1 was about to follow, when something
moving in the grass near by attracted my
attention. There was something pushing
its way along under some matted dead
grass, which heaved every few moments,
as ii was pushed upward with irregular.
jerky movements. Presently. at a spot
where the grass was thin, there was poked
out little, dark-brown head. with blunt,
bewhiskered, trembling muzzle, black.
beady eyes and short ears. almost buried in
the fur. 1t was the head Of a meadow
mouse, one of the myriad little beings
which live their harmless, quiet lives in
our low-lying fields and meadows, and of
which most of us nothing save an occa-
sional specimen brought in by the cat. The
little creature before me looked about for
moment, and, seeing nothing to alarm her,
came boldly into the open. Her body,
which was the same color as her head. was
round and rather stout, and terminated in
very short, straight tail. The legs were
also very short. and the body seemed to
touch the ground as the little creature
moved. She nosed about for few mo-
ments and then stood up right upon her
hind legs, with her forepaws hanging down
in front, turning her head first this way
and then that, in order to get a good view
Of her surroundings. Nothing alarmed her,
so down she dropped on all tours again and
came straight toward me- The first OBJ
stacle which she encountered was
my leg. and to the problem Of get
ting past this huge barrier she gave
her entire attention. First of all
she pushed her nose as far as possible
under my rubber boot and tried to pass
under it, as she had passed under the grass,
by lifting 1t up with her head. But the leg
was too heavy, this plan was aban-
doned. There was nothing for it but hard
work, so she set to. digging away with both
forepaws, looking up every now and then
with her bright eyes shining through a
ring of mud. Whenever little heap of
mold had been scraped under the body,
the hind feet were brought into play, and
with these the dirt was flung far away in
the rear. When roots were encountered.

time before the subway was completed, and

side. The knee Of my other leg was bent,
