A Strange Case.

that never since he had started in his
profession had he told lie But one
day he died, and a collection was
raised among those who knew him for
the erection Of memorial stone. After
they got 1T a dispute arose as to what
would be the most suitable inscription
to put on it. They all had something
to say except one individual, who did
not seem to take any interest.
At last the person referred to was
asked what he thought about it.
'Well," said he, II have something

Silver and Gold.

Gilt and silver colOrs are very smart
for dress accessories. For instance,
the very newest belt for use with silk
waist is the tinsel braid or silver one.
These are at least four inches broad,
and when fastened in front give a
pointed girdle effect in the back. They
are closed with gilt or silver frogs and
have gilt or silver fringe tassels.
This same idea is carried out in
their ornaments. and the most ex-
quisite things are shown in the shops
in gilt and silver flowers They look
like gauze. but are made of chiffon,
which is dipped in gilt or silver tinsel
after the ornament is made. Roses.
clematis. orchids. laurel leaf taras and
butterflies are greatly favored for the

In Halifax county, N. c., prior to
1910 there was a voting precinct
known by the odd name of Dumping

Harrison was elected president after

Town had exactly ia voters, and ev-
cry man of them cast his ballot for
Harrison.
The people Of the small but prosper
Gus town of Scotland Neck in that
county. showed their appreciation of
the unanimous vote of Dumping Town
by a generous and whimsical gift. Two
days and night were consumed in
building a big dumping, which was
made Of apples and flour and which
weighed 114 pounds, one pound for
each vote cast at Dumping Town.
This monster of dumping was put
In sack supported 10y a tripod and
lowered into an immense iron kettle.
1t required two days and night to
cook it properly. Then it was lifted
out and placed in specially made
bowl cut from the trunk of an enor-
nous cypress tree, and round 1t were
placed ia dumplings of the usual size.
A band of music and fifty wagons were
sent to Dumping Town, and in these
wagons were taken to Scotland Neck

There was great cheering when they
arrived at Scotland Neck, and the
guests cheered themselves when they
