village paper, and was waiting for hair

II got another glimpse Of the eternal
feminine recently" says Washington
physician, 'and shall never again ex-
press surprise that men Of admitted in

patients for the last few weeks-in
fact, until be died-was a man Of re-
markabie ability and character. The
ease had been in the hands Of another
doctor, and when I took charge saw
that there was little hope Of recovery.
The illness was complicated and, I will
confess, difficult Of diagnosis, and It
was not until shortly before the fatal
termination that oil the symptoms de-
veloped.

Her anxiety was pathetic, her watch

her just what was the matter with her
husband, although after really found

to do so.

into details by way Of explanation.
""The danger from pneumonia has

very little grounds for hope. Then 1

the disease so simply, thought, that a
child could understand it. When I con-
cluded she nodded intelligently and
said in a manner so pathetically sweet
that my heart went out to her:

you think he isT

reply, holding out little hope. and new

But as watched her during the trying
days until the end came forgot all
about her failure to comprehend my
explanation. I forgot everything, in
fact, except that was witness Of
that wonderful depth Of affection Of
which the feminine nature alone Is ca

ference to me If she had not been able
to say her alphabet. I honored her as
my equal If not my superior."-Wash-

His Second ThougAt.

Back in the good old days when nerves
and railroads were little known an old
stage road ran from Lake Champlain to
Ogdensburg, N. Y, passing through the
little town of Sodom. This village nest
led in valley between two great hills,
over which the white ribbon of the road
wound steeply.
Upon one of the trips of the stage the
regular driver, who had been at home for
some weeks recovering from an illness,
was riding inside, while the red-haired,
mild featured. big boned Irishman acting
as his substitute occupied the drivers
seat upon the box. The day was beau
tiful one, and the passengers were enjoy
ing their drive keenly, their appetites in
creasing as the distance lessened between
them and the town of Sodom, with its
promised pause for refreshment.
Suddenly as the heavy stage numbered
over the brow of the hill, down which
the road plunged at sharp. angle, run
ming through the little town at its foot and
ascending the hill beyond, the passengers
became conscious that their pace had been
recklessly increased. Faster and faster
they went, dashiag down the hill at a rate
rapidly becoming furious one. Trees
and bushes at last became but q dizZying
blur along the road. All clung 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 postoffice without pause and ont
upon the road leading up the face of the
hill beyond. There the pace siackened,
and as the incline grew more steep st
last the smoking horses came to stand
still. With one accord the dazed psssen-
gers tumbled out and surrounded the
driver, who now stood at the head of his
reeking leaders.

comprehended the meaning of the danger

priged of its sole means Of guidance, had
been exposed, and realizing the miracle
Of their escape, he turned sick aud faint

Later, back at the inn, when the excite

One of the meanest creatures that lives,
is human being that does you some per-
sonal wrong and then proceeds to hate
you because he has wronged you. Yet,
it is the nature of a depraved brute to
maltreat a fellow being and then vent the
spite of his depraved nature upon him
The reason for this perhaps lies in the
fact that even in the degraded wretch
the voice of conscience is still heard, and
this effort to injure one who has been
wronged is an effort to drown this same
u0ice of conscience

Queer Story from Saluda.


SALuDA, September 22-Anent the
James H. Tillman trial, there is very
curious story today being told here. Who
started it; why it was started, and wheth-
er it has any foundation or1s the fabrica'
ton of some fertile mind, your cores
pondent knows not. 1t is simply given
as it was picked up on the streets here to-
day.
As the story goes it is as follows:
Just after the jury for the first and sec,
ond week for Lexington county was
drawn and their names published, a party
appeared in that county in the guise of an
agent for picture-enlarging establish,
ment somewhere. He made it his bust
ness to call upon each and every juror
who had been drawn and solicited some
work. In order to show the character OF
the work done by the house he represent
ed he produced as samples enlarged pic
lures of well known South Carolinians-
several of them-and finally would hold
up one of James H. Tillman, with the re-
mark, II suppose you at once recognize
this likeness?" or something OF the kind
Then the unsuspecting person addressed
would remark, "4 es, that Is jim truman,
or "Col. Tillman, who killed Gonzales,
etc, and if the juror were given to talk
ing he would say thus and so about the
case and whether he ought or ought not
to be convicted, etc. etc. The agent would
show no signs of interest, but, SO the
story continues, would know just how
the party approached felt and stood on
the matter, and after learning would jol
down the statements made to him fol
future reference.
AS stated at the outset, it is not known
who originated the story or where it orl
ginated. 1t is being told, however, just
about as we have given it. And all who
hear it, as well as those who repeat it
are wondering whether it is true in part
and false in part, or whether it is true OF
false altogether. At any rate, it is a
strange story, but not more than Its
origin.
