A BOUQUET.

Our good friend, Herbert A. Moses, ed
itor of the New Era at Bishopville, throws
US the following nice bouquet:
If yon are feeling dull and played out
on hot day and you wish to have some
thing wake you up, pick up the Bamberg
Herald and turn to its editorial column.
The editor of this paper is Mr.. A. w:
Knight, formerly with the Sumter Herald
and who has great many friends in this
county.
"A. W." can tell black from white a
mile off, and he will call a spade spade
under any circumstances. He says what
he thinks and lets consequences take care
of themselves.
We are indeed grateful for this kind
expression, but we are afraid that our
contemporary is wofuuy mistaken. II
there is one thing in our editorial career
of which we are ashamed it is lack OF
backbone. If we have earned the reputa-
ton of speaking our mind freely, we are
glad, and we only wish we possessed the
faculty in greater degree.

He Saved Street Car Fares.

Prof. Francis A. March, the noted
philoigist of Lafayette, is an officer
of the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity, and
at one OF the fraternity meetings, ap-
propos of fippancy, he said:
AN old friend OF nine told me the
other day Of a remark that a young
man had made to him. This remark
is interesting because it illustrates
the t1ippancy, the impudence, that
passes for wit among a certain class
Of youth.
NV friend is rich. and he said to
the young man:

Henry the Eiahth.

The following is attributed by an
English newspaper to pubic school
boy: king Henry VIII was the
greatest widower that ever lived. He
was born at Ammo Domini in the year
1906, He had five hundred and Ten
wives, besides children. The first was
beheaded and afterwards executed
The second was revoked. She neySr

Calais would be found written on her
heart after her DEATH The greatest
man in this reign was Lord Sir Gar
ret Wolsey. He was surnamed the
Boy Bachelor being born at the aye
of fifteen unmarried. He afterward
Faid had he served his wife as dill
gently as he served the King she
would not have deprived him of his
gray hairs, In this reign the Bible
vas translated into Latin by Titus
Oates, Who was ordered by the King
to be. chained up in the church for
greater security. 1t was also in his
reign that the Duke of Wellington

LEARNING THINGS
We Are All in the Apprentice Class.

When simple change of diet brings
back health and happiness the story is
briefly told. A lady of Springfield H.,
says: after being afflicted for years
with nervousness and heart trouble, l
received shock four years ago that
left me in such condition that my
life. was despaired of. could get no
relief from doctors nor from the num-
berless heart and nerve medicines l
tried because didn't know that the
coffee was daily putting me back more
than the Drs. could put me ahead,
Finally at the request of friend I
left off coffee and began the use of
Postum and against my convictions l
gradually improved in health until for
the past 6 or s months | have been
entirely free from nervousness and
those terrible sinking, weakening
spells of heart trouble
"My troubles all came from the use
Of coffee which drunk from childhood
and yet they disappeared when quit
coffee and took up the use of Postum"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
Many people marvel at the effects OF
leaving off coffee and drinking Postum
but there is nothing marvellous about
it-only common sense,
Coffee is destroyer--Postum is
rchriider That's the reason.

WHAT THE SPEAKER SAID.
Illustrative Instance Of the Ever
Ready Wit Of the Late
"Czar" Reed,

Thomas B. Reeds wit and wisdom would
fill large volume, and a larger volume could
be made of things he did not say, but which
have been creditAd to him. In one volume
or the other, says Youths Companion, be-
longs a story which comes from California,
and which has probably not been printed
before.
When Mr., Reed was in California he visited
the Lick observatory on Mount Hamilton.
1t was a wonderful November day, full OF
gold and the bloom of flowers Mr., Reed
looked down at the gorgeous LANDSCAPE g. 600
feet below. and turned to one Of his hosts.
he said:
Colonel, this looks too much like sps.
cial display got up in honor Of the occa.
sion. Tell me what typical winter day in
California is really like"
The Californian thought at once of a day
IN February so warm that after morning
bath he had lain in hammock outdoors
smelled the roses on the trellis, and listened
to the trll of the meadow-lark among the
almond blooms.
He began to describe it eloquently: "Thir,
teen years ago, on February q, I took a
bath"
He paused to arrange his account of the
roses and the meadow-lark. Mr.. Reed broke
the pause.
"Well, colonel" he said. in admiration

FEAR BEING BURIED ALIVE,
People Of AL Ages Have Made Pro.
vision Against Such Dreaded
Ending.

Every now and then we run across
people who have morbid fear of be.
ing buried alive. They have cautioned
their friends about the matter They
must not be buried until certain num-
Der of days after they die, says Medical
Talk. Numerous tests must be ap-
piled to make sure that they are really
dead. They seem to have constant
fear that they are going to be buried
alive.
They have doubtless read all sorts Of
grewsome tales about the resurrection
of persons who have been buried alive,
There are many of these stories afioat
but the truth of the matter is they are
largely made up Of superstition and
vague rumors, there being few, If any
of them, that are well-authenticated
The physician Is quick to detect any
sign of life, and there is very little dan
ger of being buried while yet alive.
Just recently, in the death of Miss
Francis Power Cobbe, there has been 9
demonstration of this morbid fear of be-
ing buried alive. So great was hel
solicitude that in her will she directs
her medical attendant to cut the arteries
of the neck and windpipe in such man.
ner that it will almost entirely sever
the head from the body. In order t.
make quite sure that this will be done
she makes the penalty Of disobedienc'
to be the invalidation of her will.
This is a fear that has been handed
down through the ages. At one time
in Germany, and other countries, rooms
were established in which dead bodies
were placed, and fastened to the hand O
each was a bell rope. Then if the sup
posed dead person were not really dead
and should make any movement, tn,
rope would be pulled and The bell woult
ring. But the bell was never heard Il
ring.
It Is true there have been numerous
cases where people have been supposed
to be dead, but we're resuscitated befor
burial, but the signs of life are so vel
known, and the evidences of death s.
| unmistakable that there Is little If an.
danger of being buried alive.
