Humor qno Philosophy
BY DUNCAN M. SMITH
Copyright. 1904. by Duncan M. Smith.
INCIDENT PHILO SOPHY.

I dislike to roam and ramble
Through the weeds and reeds ana gra
Through the hazel brush and bramoie'
Through the muck of the morass,
Hazel nutting. 1t seems funny
Joy from this some folks derive
Still. the bee that gets the honey
Doesn't drone our the hive.
Much l love to watch sweet Name
When she's on the tennis court.
She's a creature to my fancy.
l don't care for games and sport,
And for me her looks are sunny
Only when | sweat n strive.
Well, the bee that gets the honey
Doesn't hang around the hive.
Hazel nuts and tennis maiden,
Both are sweet and tempting TOO.
Nancy. fair and mischief laden,
Will insist that l must do
Deeds absurd. It's really funny
What odd things she does contrive.
Well. the bee that gets the honey
Mustn't hang around the hive.
Now, l rather think that hanging
Round the hive is just my forte.
Better far it suits han banging
I'D and down a tennis court.
Let who thinks the thing is funny
Break his neck and blindly strive,
Woo the maiden. cinch the honey;
I will hang around the hive.

Etiquette.

1t is the true leaders of society who
are the least naughty and reserved.
The grande dame by birth, breeding
man born and bred, just when, how
and upon whom to bestow her pleasant
smile of recognition. She is not afraid,
as are those less familiar with proper
social usages, that she might commit
a social solecism and do the wrong
thing.
1t is this woman who speaks the
klndest to the weary shopgirl. 1t is
she to whom the laboring man lifts
his apology of a hat as she thanks him
for h ceasing of his busy broom or
the holding open of a door for her. 1t
was such a woman who heard the re-
tort coming from the sweeper of a
crossing when she thanked him for
lifting her over the deep mud. 81

Her Choice.
The wife of a burglar was being ex-
amined by an eminent lawyer. You

barrister. Yes" replied the witness.
You knew he was a burglar when you
married him?' continued the lawyer.

you come to contract a marriage with
such a MANI" "Well,, it was thi, way"
said the witness sarcastically, II was
getting old and had to choose between
a burglar and a lawyer. What else
could l do?"

The coal man greets the weather. clerk

"Why did Maude break her engage

"It's the style. She says a girl is
nothing this season, when half the wo-

heroine of at least one romance"

"What makes Bilkins look so down

"He has just had his salary increased
10 per cent, and now he figures that
his wife will spend double the amount

New Jersey Congressman Opposes I'M
peachment of Florida Jurist.
A washington dispatch says: An
additional minority report on the
Swayne impeachment proceedings has
been prepared by Representative Par
ker, Of New Jersey, and will Be filed
with the report of representative Gil
lett, of California.
While opposing impeachment, Mr..
Parker takes a somewhat different
view than deas Mr. Gillett. His report
Is very brief and in opposing impeach.
ment he makes no eulogistic comments
on the official character Of Judge
Swayne.
Mr.. Gillett has been withholding his
report in order that each member OF
the committee who did not s.gn the
majority report might have an oppo1'
tunity to sign the minority. Seven
members so far have signed this re-
port. Messrs. Thomas, Of Iowa, and
Warner, of Illinois, have not yet sign
ed any report
Mr.. G:llett has been sounding the
sentiment on the republican side OF
the house, and he believes that he
can secure enough votes to defeat the
Impeachment resolution reported from
the judiciary committee.
The question is to be taken up, &C
tording to the present program, as
soon as appropriation bills are out OF
the way.

A Matter Of Accommodations.

A Columbia special says: There las
been such a growth in the winter tour
ist business in this state that 1t has
been but little short of phenomenal.
1t has been general, and it seems TO
be a substantial growth. 1t was not
very many years ago that the Pine
Forest Inn, at SUNNI erville, and few
scattering hotels in various sections
accommodated the visitors who came
to South Carolina to avoid the rigor-
Gus climate of the north and west.
Now it is simply question Of hotel
accommodations. There are four CT
five hotels in Camden that cater onl..-
to the winter travel, large hostelries
at Aiken and Sumnerrille and North
Augusta, and they have not been
nearly sufficient for the crowds that
have been wanting accommodations.

Russians Reconsider Overt
Action at Niuchwang.
AMENDS PROMPTLY MADE
Result of Strong Protest Made by
United States Consul Miller.
British Flag Also :.
Rehoistec.

An Associated Press dispatch from
Niuchwang, under Tuesdays date.
says. On a strong representation
made by United States Consul Miller
that the civil administrator had invad-
ed neutral rights when he ordered the
lowering of the American flag from
buildings belonging to American citi-
zens. even though it was done through
the apprehension that the flag was IL
legally used by Chinese for the pur-
pose of resisting police inspection, the
civil administrator has promised to
duly and in proper form, through the
military, raise the flag over =he build
ing from which it was removed. me
British flag, which was ordered taken
down, will also be allowed to remain
Flag Rehoisted.
A correspondent of The London
Times at Niuchwang, cabling Tuesday,
says: '"The Russian police have apol-
ogized, and have rehoisted the United
States flag over the correspondent
mess"
Disapproved by Germany.
According to a Berlin dispatch, the
German press d:sapproves the step
taken by Russia at Niuchwang, argu-
ing that it is contrary to the spirit OF
the declarations exchanged between
the powers at the outset of the war
regardin gthe neutrality of China. and
furnishes Japan excellent pretext for
landing troops on neutral Chinese soil
Generally speaking, the Russian action
enhances the appehensions enter
tanned at Berlin regarding .the future
attitude of China.
While it is not supposed any power
will seriously oppose the Russian de-
claration of martial law. The Berlin
Post points out the large number OF
claims for compensation that VIII in
evitably be addressed to the Russian
government by the foreign merchants
residing at. Niuchwang. These claims
will probably be supported by diplo-
matte representations.
Our Gunboat Leaves NiuehWana.
The United States gunboat Helena
at Niuchwang has received orders to
proceed for Shanghai. She will take
away all Americans who desire 80
leave the city.

The State as a Borrower.

1t is strange that the state OF South
Carolina will have to pay about $l2.'
900 in interest charges during the pres
ent year. Last year the interest
charges were less, because a fund oi
$4,000, which was paid to the state
by the federal government. This $780,,
600 has been spent and is, of course
not to be duplicated this year.
Within the next few days the state
will have to borrow 100000 with
which to pay the Confederate pen
sions. Under the law, although there
is money now in state treasury, il
cannot be touched, but a specific loan
has to be made for the payment o1
pensions, and interest charges will be-
gin on this fund as soon as the money
is available. For the present the state
has funds with which to meet its CIR
rent expenses. but by the time the
july interest has to be paid, the state
will have to borrow money, and, alto
gether, the expectation is that the
state treasurer will have to borrow III
to the legal limit2s5Oo,OOO. This
amount includes the 100000 to re
borrowed on account of the pensio1
funds.
When the franchise or license :e>
becomes available the state will no'
have to borrow quite as much money.
There are still many people who
think that the best plan of getting The
state on cash basis is to increase
the levy every year until sufic!ne'
found is raised to put the state On
cash basis, and avoid the necessity OF
the state going into the market as
borrower.-News and Courier.
