Why She Didn't Shout

Bishop Cortlandt Whitehead Of
Fittsburg ls fond of telling stories
at his 'own expense. When he
was rector of the Church of the
Nativity at South Bethlehem, Pa.
he acquired convert for the
Episcopal church in the person of
Methodist woman who was much
given to contributing to the chur-
CD services by interjecting"Amen,
and "Alleluia. He explained
to tho good woman that such
ejaculations were not customary
in the Episcopal church, and she
sat gravely through sermon on
dignity and iecorum in public
worship. Afterward the Bishop
thanked her for restraining her
fsrvor.
"Ne need to thank me,' re-
torted the ex-Methodist. "You
did'tsay anything to make mo

Washington, Jan. g. The War
Department has begun the pay
ment of claims amounting to

The matter has been investigate

Denied The Fact.

Alexander FL. Stevens, vice
president of the Cenfederacy, was
one Of the most skillful debators
Georgia has over sent to congress.
Tho author of "From the Civi
War to Date"tells of one occasion
when Stephens met defeat.
He had made speech at a poll
itical rally to which it seemed i'm.
possible to reply. A man named
Russell was at last persuaded to
take the stand. He ut once at
tackled the record of the opponent
with grsundless charges.
"Now," be demanded, "stand
up here and explain to these veters
why, when you wore in congress,
you voted for fve-hundred dol
lar property qualification for
franchise.
"Little Alex" jumped up.
His shrill voice was ear piercing.
"1t is false" he screamed.
81 deny the fact"
"a es," said Mr.. Russell "that
is what expected you to do.
For twenty years you have been
going around DENYING facts"
Tho audience roarsi with de-
light, and "Little Alex' loft the
hall. He said years afterward
that he never again used "fsct"
in that familiar but illogical way.

Gambling Speculation.
Dangerous Thing to 'i'ainper with
Some Good Suggestions.

- - S''''
Strong and more dangerous
than any other perhaps Is the pas
sion for gambling. Onco it SO
cures hold upon a man, or wo
man for that matter, the chances
are great that the victim is ire
tricvably ruined While the man
who makes an occasional wager is
not necessarily slave t. the pas
sion, it is undoubtedly true that
complete surrender is quick and
easy.
The Advertiser does not pro
tend to usHrp the Office of the scr,
mon preacher, but from a strictly
secular point of view we wish to
warn against that form of gamh>
ling known politely as "specua-
ton.
When Il man risks more than
he can return in the event OF loss,
that means that he is obtaining
credit under false pretepse. 1t
iS not honest. When a man goes
into a market and buys a thing
concerning which he is wholly
ignorant it Is gsmLling, pure and
simple.
Take the cotton market. Even
our shrcwdest business men know
nothing about it. Cotton mill
men, whose business it Is to watch
and study the market, are wrong
as often as they are right-as
general rule. When you or l
buy futures or sell them we are
betting. Morally, cotton futures
and poker playing are on precise.
" the same level. Meanwhile, it
is not necessarily immoral FOR
man to play cards for money or to
speculate in cotton, provided
man risks his own money, to
which no other man has any claim
whatever and risks no more than
he can afford to lose without in,
volving.. loss to creditors or de,
pcndents, he, in our judgment,
commits no offence. The diff
Guilty is that not one man in 10,
900 is able to 90 this. A man
with a pocket full of dynamite
would be fool to ride fox
chase. The man who CANDLES is
greater fool because lie takes a
greater risk-with rare excep.
tions.
Speculation utterly units man
for business A bookkecper who
has q few cotton contracts is like
ly to do his work in slaplash fash
Jon while he has the contracts. I'll
he wins few hundred dollars,
the chances are that he will be
useless until he has blown 1T in"
En- ployers do not want and will
not have young men who specu-
late on their rsyrolls. They cant
afford it. The young man ambi
tious to succeed who begins by
buying cotton contracts begins at
the wrong end. Early disaster
is the invarlable and inaxorablc
result. -Laurens Advertiser.

FLAMES DESTROY
 L. & N. OIL HOUSE
BIO BLAZE SOON AFTER MlD- NIGHT ON 17TH sTREET-ToTAL LOSS ONLY ABOUT $1ooo-FlRE ACCIDENTAL.

Fire destroyed the oil house of the Louisville and Nashville railroad at Seventeenth street and the railroad this morning at about 12:15 o'clock, and caused a loss amounting to about $1000. The Louisville and Nashville carries no insurance.
 The fire destroyed about ten or twelve barrels of oil, large pile Of waste and the cab of engine No. SOL, which was standing on the siding ad- joining the oil house
 The blaze originated from the en- zine. In some way torch in the cab of the engine caught on fire and from this the oil house caught. The torch fell between the engine and the oil house and set the latter on fire in second. By the time the alarm was sent in the oil was burning fiercely, and it made very hot fire for few minutes.
 It was likewise spectacular, and hun dreds of people gathered In few min utes. The department soon had the flames under control and prevented them from spreading to the water tank and the round house.
 The oil would float out on top of the water played on the fire and flow down the track burning. The fremen had to turn the water on the burning lakes ev- cry few minutes. This is the second time the oil house has been destroyed by fire, the last time the loss being rather heavy on account of the large stock. Now on- ly about twenty barrels are kept on hand at a time.
