ExC1rABILIrY AS A BOOMERANG.

1T is very pleasantly and wisely ar
ranged that one-half the world does not
know what the other half is thinking
about" said a man who likes to smoke on
the street-car platform. "Motormen, as a
rule, are an observing set of fellows, and il
they have time to talk to you a little what
they say is worth attention. 1t so hap
pened this week that L have had three rides
with the same motorman, and it also so
happened that the few sentences We ex-
changed were almost identical Inside of
the car, in each instance, there CHANGED to
be passenger in a state of visible agita-
ton about paying the fare, about not get
ting off at the right station or at not get
ting the right change. or from some other
exasperating cause incident to street-car
travel. On the first of these trips the ex-
citable passenger was a woman and she
berated the conductor in most lively fash
ion. I remarked to the motorman, THAT
lady is in a rage"
Yes he replied; I reckon she must be
a morphine eater
ION the next ride with this same motor
man an old gentleman few all to pieces
about something, rang the bell violently
and got off the car, almost purple with
anger.
"'Say, amt he a terror remarked the
motorman. He's one o. these opium fiends,
bet you.
"An elderly woman was the victim of
nervous irritability on the third trip made
on this same car. She had lost the only
nickel she had with her. and, as the con-
ductor seemed to doubt her statement that
she had dropped it in the car, she, too. be-
came very much worked up and noisily
voluble.
Jimmy. there's another of EN- ex-
claimed the motorman. 'Thish yere line is
jest alive tn morphine lunatics.'
my private opinion was and is that not
one of these turbulent persons was what
the motorman suspected them to be, but
the incident goes to show that excitability
in public does not pay. Often, when feel
myself getting wrathy, since this expert
ence, 1 say to myself: Here. I'd better hold
in, or some cooler-headed fellow will start
a report that I'm morphine eater ="

tom of giving a ring in marriage comes
from the long ago, when the man gave his
bride the little hoop of gold to show that
he confided in her the seal of his rights In
his possessions. for. ring was anciently
used as seal by which orders were signed,
the delivery of ring meant that the slver
endowed the person who received 1T with
all the power he himself possessed. The
doge of Venice threw a ring into the sea
to denote that the Adriatic was subject to
the republic of Venice. wife was sub
ject to her husband. This ceremony forms

Besides the popular specimens of precious
stones such as rubies, emeralds and dia-
monds, there are other beautiful varieties
that are scarcely known at all in this part
of the world, although in the Orient they
are common enough. Take, for instance,
the Alexandria, which possesses the re-
markable quality of changing its color
from greenish yellow in the daytime to a
glowing red at night. The superstition re-
garding this stone is that insomnia can be
cured by the sleepless gazing intently
on 1t after it has changed color. Then
there are the pink and white sapphires and
cats eyes. In America the cats eye has
not met with much favor, as it has so
often been confused with the worthless
Chinese pebble sold under the same name.
DR.. e. F. Hodges. who is an enthusiastic
collector of rare gems. owns a remarkable
specimen Of cats eye. 1t is called double
cats eye" and the weird, magnificent col
oring in the stone easily accounts for the
Oriental belief that it endows its possessor
with second sight, SO that he can perceive
and check the evils of his enemies.
Another very rare gem is one owned by

Twice this winter my wife has in

Original of "Nirs. Jack"
New York Mail and Express.

When Miss Alice Fisher first produced
Mrs. jack in New York there were para
graphs circulated to the effect that Mrs.
Jack Gardner, of Boston, was the original
of Miss Furnisss character study, but any
one that knew Mrs. Gardner knew that
nothing could have been more absurd The
character was not at all like her, nor did
Miss Furniss intend that IL should be. AS
a matter of fact Mrs. T. l.. O'Connor, of
Providence, X. L., was the original of the
portrait. Mrs. O'Connor Is the wealthy sis
ter of Miss Elizabeth Tyree, and she is
backing the latter in her starring adven-
ture. Mrs. O'Connor, who inherited. her
millions about two years ago at the death
of her husband assumed the conduct of
his various business enterprises after the
manner of Mrs. Jack in Miss Furniss's
play.

Mr.. Hewitt used to tell the following story
about a Washington incident:
"One day a number of men from New
England were at the Capitol, and one of
them said to friend that they all wanted
to see what Tammany congressman

was showing them around steered them

CURES RHEUMATISM.

Rheumatism, which does its terrible work
in the muscles, joints, and tissues, is caused by
uric acid which gathers in the blood. To get
rid of this poisonous acid which produces the
irritations, pains, agonies, inAammations, and
swellings peculiar 10 rheumatism, Paine's
Celery Compound should be used without
delay. No other medicine gives such prompt,
cheering, and happy results. 1t is the only
medicine that prevents return Of the dreaded
disease. Paine's Celery Compound braces
the nerves, the blood is quickly cleared of all
irritating poisons, tissue and muscle are built
up, and the digestive organs perfectly toned.
Do not treat with indifference the slightest
rheumatic symptoms; the early use of Paine's
Celery Compound will save you weeks and
months of suffering. Mr.. S. D. Conway,
St. Louis, Mo-, was permanently cured by
Paine's Celery Compound after repeated fail
ures with other medicines and physicians; he
says:-
81 am 81 years of age, and have lived in
St. Louis Fl years, and all this time with the
exception of three years, have served in the
Engineers Department as Inspector. Last
winter l contracted rheumatism and was laid
up. tried all remedies and doctors, but all
failed until struck Pame's Celery Compound,
which has made permanent cure in my case.

Picnic at Quarter pidae.

Last Saturday was a red letter
day for Quarter Ridge school and
community, in east Lincoln. My
young friend, w. G. Williams,
from Bogue Chittto, is doing a
noble work along educational
lines with Miss Ada Woolley as
an accomplished assistant. wac
informed that there were LIS chill
dren within less than ~ Miles of
the school house under ID years
of age. If there are other COM
munities in this county that can
make a better showing, let them
stand and be counted. These facts
are prima facia evidence that
there are voters around Quarter
Ridge, and hence the candidates
swarmed. My honorable oppo-
nents, Applewhite and Watts,
were present, and we all Grated
bit. One man told me he would
vote for me if / would buy him
a cigar. / informed him that |
had as many supporters already
as I could accommodate and told
him that he might strike trade
with one or both of my oppo-
nents. To say the least, this man
was putting his vote in easy reach
of the poorest of the poor candi-
dates.
Saturday night was spent by
myself and others in testing the
unbounded Inequalities of Mr..
and Mrs. George Ivey. George
has well-furnished parlor, in
which may be found every thing
in the way of a musical instru-
ment, from a jews harp up to a
fine parlor organ. Like Moses of
old, George is slow of speech and
has substituted a talking machine
to entertain his company.
Sunday was spent at Pleasant
Grove where God was honored
with brilliant Children's Day.
The crowd was immense and din
ner abundant, and Mr.. and Mrs.
John Conn tested our capacity
along that line. In the long ago
old Father Beeson, local Meth
odist preacher, SO we'll known by
the older people pitched his tent
in that section, and notwithstand-
ing he is praising God in heaven
today, his footprints are plainly
to be seen around Pleasant Grove
as the tribes turn their feet-to
ward the house of the Lord.
Monday at Fair River church |
attended the funeral of my old
friend, and brother, Jonathan
White, who was buried with Ma
sonic honors in the presence of
large audience. May his vacancy
be filed by the presence of Him
who said: Il am the resurrection
and the life. -
