Light and sketchy as is this little
tale, it reveals the art of Winston
Churchill as even his longer stories do
not. 1t is the story of a young lieu
tenant of the American navy, who
loves the daughter of an English resi-
dent on the island of Madeira, where
the Denver is stationed. Pennington.
the lover, is not exactly faint hearted,
but he takes no for an answer when
his sweetheart says she cannot marry
him without the consent of her father,
who is opposed to Americans in gen.
eral and particular Two of the under
officers of the boat, who are worship
ers of Pennington, resolve to take the
matter into their own hands and ar
range for an elopement, and get the
young lady's consent by saying they
sent by her lover To him they say
that she has offered to leave on the
boat with him, and a convenient SKY
pilot is waiting on the Denver to mar
ry them. 1t all ends WE'LL as it should,
and the irate English papa RECEIVERS
and takes his new son to his heart. 1t
is a charming little story told with
conSummate art.

to prevent them from rising against
him. He confides his scheme to his
guardian who reminds him that there
may be a higher power than he, and
that death may step in and spoil his
plans Hagen laughs at such an idea.
On the day when he is to be married
to Miss Golden-Kid he is unfolding
his plans for the conquest of the
world to his earth friend, who ren1on-
strates with him, but at the same time
realizes that there is nothing to re-
strain a man with unlimited money
and no conscience. He starts for the
house where the marriage is to take
place and the horses run away and
Hagen is killed. This is the end OF
a most absurd story, but one which
contains much food for thought, and
brings to mind many reflections Which
are far from complimentary to our
Christian civilization. A short quota
ton will serve to enliShten the reader
as to Hagen's point of view. He was
talking to his earth friend of religion
and Immortality: DO you know that
it is very wonderful idea-that i'm
mortality? l tell you the man
who got that up was world -geenius.
| When 1 saw how. it worked it was al
most too much for me to believe, and

last. For you know, if you can once
get a man believing in Immortality,
there is NO more left for you to desire;
you can take everything in the world
he owns-you can skin him alive If it
pleases you-and he will bear it al
with perfect good humor. l tell you
what, 1 lie awake nights and dream
about the chances of getting the Nibe-
lungs to believe in Immortality; l don't
think I can manage it, but it is stake
worth playing for. l say the phrases
over to myself-you know them all
it is better to give than to receive
lay not up to yourselves treasures on
earth, take no heed what ye shall
eat' AS a matter Of fact, I fancy the
Nibelungs will prove pretty tough at
reforming, but it is worth any amount
of labor. Suppose l could ever get
them to the self-renouncing point! Just
fancy the self-renunciation of man
with a seyenty-rnile tunnel full of
gold!"

The Samaritans-By John Alexander

D. company. publishers. For sale by the

pany.
We are at once taken into the heart
of the London slum district When TINS
story opens, and if the reader can peaI,
the sorrow and the woe and misery OF
IT he will find it q most interesting
hook Ii has been well said that there
is a reminder of Dickens work ABOUT
Mr.. Steuart's characters; it would not
do perhaps to say that he is close
imitator of Dickens, but one is surely
reminded OF Artful Dodgers and Bill
Sykes on every page. The story con-
Germs some brave men and women VINO
under :ake to introduce reform into
some of London's most congested dis
tricts and to ferret out those usurlous
landlords who fatten on the misery of
the poor. -,
Rents are raised every pay day until
the poor wretches are literally raised
out of these squalid dwellings and find
relief only in drink or the river. The
efforts of Mr.. Emmett and the young
American Dalrymple, with the assist
ance Of Miry, one of the denizens and
victims of the slum, to uplift and help
the poor, make a tale of absorbing in
terest. And then the death of Emmett
and too, of little Peter in are Incl
dents of heartbreaking pathos. After
much hard work and discouraging fail
ures the reformers succeed in making
some impression upon the owners of
slum property and several of the worst
districts are wiped out. The story is
well told and interesting as throbbing
with life. but to read of SO much in
justice and cruelty to the helpless
poor is extremely painful. There is no
doubt that Mr.. Steuart has studied his
subject at first hand and gives no fan
ciful picture Of the pitiful lives of the
submerged.

the Adder, which was still rolling In
the surf, and fssten a line to 1t. The
officers said that the idea was imprac-
ticable because no man could live in
such a sea as was rolling. Deery VOL
unteered for trial, and after he had
fastened a small line about his body
he plunged into the sea. The distance
to the Adder was more than a hundred
yards The man fought with the waves
courageously. Sometimes he was high
on the crest OF rising billow and
again down deep in a trough of the
sea. At length he reached the Adder
and climbed up it's slippery sides.
Then, with much difficulty he held his
place until he had hauled a heavy
hawser from the Peoria. He made the
hawser fast, and the torpedo boat was
slowly, but SUI ely towed to safety.
Deery will be b ought to the notice Of
the president for his courage and will
no doubt get substantial recognition.
The Adder was not seriously injured;
but the Moccasin will have to be re-
built.

THE communication in another COL
umn with. reference to the Matheson
immigration plan, is deserving Of es-
pecial attention. In August last Mr..
Matheson, who is a Scotchman living
at Bennettsville, wrote letter to the
daily papers suggesting the idea Of a
concerted movement looking to the in
ducement of Scotch immigration into
South Carolina The letter attracted
very considerable attention and re-
suited in the holding Of state con-
vention in Columbia last month for
the purpose of trying to carry out Mr..
Matheson's suggestion. Although the
Commercial Club Of Yorkville, was
represented at the convention referred
to, for some reason the county as
whole was not represented. 1t was no
doubt because no steps had been taken
to interest the people in the important
matter under consideration. The con-
vention went on, however, and perfect
ed its organization, and this organiza-
ton is now asking the cooperation of
the counties which have heretofore
been backward. The writer Of the
communication referred to is Of opin-
ion that by all means York should join
in this most important movement, and
The ENQUIRER most heartily agrees
with him. We will take pleasure in
giving space to a call for a county
convention, or to such expression as
any of our readers may see proper to
make on the subject.

Il AM his friend in all that Is right"
This is the conlmendable answer that
a wit less gave to a lawyer in the York
court house some time back, in reply
to a question which sought to show
improper bias on the part Of the wit
ness. The lawyer was evidently struck
with the answer, because he at once
shifted to another subject. He felt at
once that he could gain nothing in at
tempt to discredit such a witness. I'm
fortunately there are many people who
act as if they thought it commendable
to stick to their friends right or wrong.
That was the evident creed Of the
criminal who made Masonic sign as
he was about to be sentenced by Judge
Purdy the other day. Loyalty to
friends lin all that is right" is one Of
the noblest of virtues; but friendship
does not require one to become an ac-
complice with criminals. The man who
will lie, steal, or commit any other
crime for the benefit of a FRIEND is
destitute of all virtue, and is not to be
trusted by honorable people.

RURAL DELIVERY SERVICE.

The civil service commission and the
postmaster general have approved new
regulations to govern appointments OF
carriers in the rural free delivery SER
vice. the new regulations to be effective
on Feb. 1st, 1904. The present regu-
lations were put in force Feb. 1, 1902,
and were largely experimental, the ru-
raj carrier service being in Its infancy.
The most important change by the
new regulations is the elimination OF
the examiners report concerning the
pplicant's fitness as q part Of the ex-
animation, the service having grown
to such proportions as to prevent the
examiner making careful personal in
curry as to applicants. Under the new
plan a simple competitive examination
will be held to develop only those quail
ifications that are regarded as abso-
lutely essential in a carrier and the
names of those passing the examina-
ton will be placed on the register In
the order Of their ratings and certified
accordingly.
In order that patrons Of given route
may have some voice in the matter,
new regulations provide that whenever
five or more patrons of a rural free
delivery route submit in writing sworn
statements that an applicant is insult
able for appointment, giving specific
reason therefor each family patroniz-
ing or residing on the route may be
requested to express an opinion as to
the applicants fitness, and If the COM
mission decides he is not suitable the
applicants name shall be stricken from
the register. No objections that do
not touch essential qualifications will
be considered.
Under the new regulations, residence
Of the applicant near the route and
possession of or ability to furnish the
necessary equipment are made condi-
tions precedent to eligibility and not
elements in the examinations, as at
present.

THE extra session Of congress came
to an end yesterday, and the senate
having failed to confirm the nomina-
tions of Gen. Leonard Wood and 161
army officers, along with a lot of civilian
employees, including DR.. w. D. Crum
the negro collector Of the port OF
Charleston, the president sent in new
appointments. 1t was held by the op-
ponents of these appointments that II
the senate should fail to confirm and
the extra session should be merged into
the regular session without adjourn
ment, the recess status of the ap-
pointments would be annulled and the
various appointees would be deprived
of pay pending confirmation. The
president and his advisers, however
are understood to hold that the extra
session could not be merged into the
regular session without at least tech
nical recess and that the status OF
these various appointees Is the same
as heretofore.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Almost as large as an average sized
orange were some Japanese persim-
mons that Captain E. A. Crawford ex-
hibited in Yorkville last week. He left
one at THE ENQUIRER office. and it was
of most delightful flavor. The perslm-
mons came from trees belonging to
Mrs. ]. F. Reid of Rock Hill.
1t was reported in Yorkville yester-
day that Mr.. J. Edgar Poag, closed a
deal last Saturday by which he Is to
sell the Margaret R. Steele land, in
cluding 1929 acres, and located between
Winthrop college and the state farm on
the outskirts of Rock HILL for $50 an
acre. Mr.. Poag received 500 cash to
bind the contract, which involves $685.
Mr.. ]. M. Cherry of Rock Hill, is the
other party to the transaction.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gener-
al Bristow is recommending that the
privilege exercised by R. F. D. car
riers in delivering packages be discon-
tinued, and that the salary scale be re-
adjusted so that carriers may receive
a maximum limit of $3.50 a year. AL
though nothing has been definitely de-
cided about the matter the probability
is that the suggestions will go into ef-
feet.
Mr.. j. o. Allison, carrier on r. F. D.
route No. 2, had a bottle Of excellent

his trip last Saturday. 1T was a pleas
ant surprise to me-" said Mr.. Allison
II approached a certain box on account
of the flag being up, looking for a let
ter; but instead found the bottle OF
beer" 1t is thus that the patrons OF
Mr.. Allison's route from time to time
show their appreciation Of the excel
lent service he gives them.
