Of the history Of Nathaniel Ridley
Eaves. one of the States most noted
men in past history. He was lawyer.

history has him as a private in the
Mexican war. he was private Of dis

and a requisition was made by the Cen
eral Government upon the State for one
regiment Of volunteers TO serve during
the war, caves was the first to volun-

addresses succeeded in raising "A regi-

And to complete the quartet / men

heard Of the Hon angus Patter-
sen. another distinguished lawyer Of
South Carolina, in the days that are
long gone by? He. as his name would
indicate, IS of Scotch extraction. He
was born in North Carolina. but came
across the line and settled in South Car
DINA in his teens. He was what We call
a seIf-made man. An omniverous reader
Of books, he made the law his study
and became eminent at the bar of his
adopted State, and was prominent IN
the Legislature, and at its session early
in the SO's was appointed chairman OF

the Hon. James Gregg were members.
Like all OF his political associates. con-

away. but his memory is engrafted upon
the lines Of South Cardinals history.

A very rich man once bought news
paper. 1t was an afternoon newspa-
per- and he was interested in it for n
month or two. One of his ideas was
the publication of noon edition that
should contain more news than the
noon editions of his competitors. He
thought hard on this problem and
finally decided it would be a great
stroke to print the decisions of the
United States supreme court at L
o'clock each Monday when the court
was in session.
This plan was complicated somewhat
by the fact that the supreme court does
not meet until noon. However, the

The Tune Was Familiar.

An interesting anecdote is told of
the old tune to which well known
song is now sung. The story runs
that when the army of the first Napo-
leon was in Egypt in 1899 the camp
for awhile was near the pyramids.
One afternoon about sunset the band
was playing, and the natives of the
desert had collected and were listening
to the music. Nothing unusual hap
pened until the band struck up tune
which we now hear under the name of
I'VE Won't Go Home Till Morning.
Instantly there were the widest DEM
onstrations of joy among the Be-
douins. They embraced each other
and shouted and danced in the deliri-
um of pleasure. The reason was that
they were listening to the favorite and
Oldest tune of their people. The tune
had been taken to Europe from Africa
in the eleventh century and had lived
separately in both countries for over
700 years.

HIS SECOND THOUGHT.
The Stage Driver Acted on 1t and
Saved His Passengers.

Back in the good old days when
nerves and railroads were little known
an old stage road ran from Lake
Champlain to Ogdensburg, y. Y. pass
ing through the little town of Sodom.
This village nestled in valley be-
tween two great hills, over which the
white ribbon of the road wound steep
ly.
Upon one of the trips of the stage the
regular driver. who had been at home
FOR some weeks recovering from an i'll
ness, was riding inside, while the red
haired, mild featured, big boned Irish
man acting as his substitute occupied
the drivers seat upon the box. The day
was a beautiful one, and the passen-
gers We're enjoying their drive keenly.
their appetites increasing as the dis
lance lessened between them and the
town Of Sodom. with its promised
pause for refreshment
Suddenly as the heavy stage lum-
bered over the brow of the hill, down
which the road plunged at a sharp an
gle, running through the little town at
its foot and ascending the hill beyond
the passengers became conscious that
their pace had been recklessly in
creased. Faster and faster they went
dashing down the hill at rate rapidly
becoming furious one. Trees and
bushes at last became but Il dizzying
blur along the road. All chung TO the
reeling stage and held their breath in
terror, while on the stage raced. down
the hill with ever increasing speed into
the town. past the hostelry with the
waiting host left standing in amaze at
the door, past the post office without
pause, and out upon the road lead
ing up the face of the hill beyond.
There the pace slackened, and as the
incline grew more steep at last the
smoking horses came to IA standstll.
With one accord the dazed passengers
tumbled out and surrounded the driver,
reeking leaders.
What is it, Pat? What is it? Did
they get away from youT' came the
breathless questions.
Nope" replied Pat with a set face.
1T wor that pointing grimly before
him. There lay the stage tongue drag
ging uselessly on the ground at the
heels of the horses and completely sey-
cred from the coach. At a glance the
regular driver eomprehended the mean
ing of the danger to which the passen-
gers Of that stage, deprived of its sole
means of guidance, had been exposed
and, realizing the miracle of their es-
cape, he turned sick and tainted where
he stood.
Later, back at the inn. when the ex-
element had somewhat subsidized and
fresh horses We're being put to the re-

and asked:

OF DOUGLAS COUNTY.

One of the greatest problems that
confronts a minister of the gospel is
what to say at funeral. A minister
doesn't feel like telling deliberate lie,
and yet there are times when to say
anything regarding the virtue of the
deceased is to prevaricate in the most
outrageous manner. IT'S good pro-
verb that says "Speak only that which
is good of the dead,o but when the
good side of the deceased is conspicu-
Gus by its absence it puts the preacher
in an unenviable predicament. There
are many people who favor simply
reciting the burial service and omit
ting all extemporaneous remarks, and
thus avoiding the farce of lauding a
man who in his life was possibly
notorious a as cheat and a rascal.

Camphor is poison, and yet it is
used largely in alternating pain and

if taken in small doses it acts like alco-

to the extent of camphor spasm and

not be used internally without the adj.
