The Industrial Loafer.

The really busy man Is often the
man who appears to have nothing to
do. Sometimes the alleged busy man
is simply a fussy man. ]. P. Morgan
Is said to be slow to move and slow
to speak. Admiral Togo, 1t Is said,
appears to have more leisure than any
man on his fleet. Mr.. Rockefeller Is
very deliberate in speech and action.
A tendency to talk much, far from
proving a man Importantly busy, tends
to stamp him an amateur In large af-
fairs. Some of us have heard the
story Of the fellow just out Of jail
Dragging Of his busy days. What do
you mean?" said a bystander who
knew his record. you've just LEFT
solitary at Concord prison. How could
you be busy there?" WELL" was the
reply. II had a thirteen puzzle and
prickly heat" One mans work is
another's leisure, and the busiest man
may seem to be loafer.-Saturday

PAYING IN CENTS.
Creditors May Refuse Large Sums OF
Small Change.

Small Change.
Ordinarily when a debtor appears be-
fore long time creditor there is no
questioning Of the United States coin
in which the debt Is to be paid, but
the wide possibilities possessed by an
arbitrary creditor in stipulating just
what coins and In what amounts ne
will receive payment are enough al
most to discourage borrowing.
You can't forcela mean creditor 10
take more than 25 cents worth OF
ntckels, or 25 cents worth OF copper
cents. II you could get as mucn as
$5 worth Of old silver three cent pieces
Of another generation you could un,
load IS worth on him, just as he would
have to take S. worth Of the silver
five cent pieces and $5 worth OF tne
obsolete twenty cent pieces, which
made so much trouble In the late sew
enties. But you can pay out Wy In
silver dimes and silver quarters ana
silver half dollars. The trade dollars,
Of which there are few still coming
into the treasury Of the United states
for redemption, are worth notnlns'
while the STANDARD dollar Is an un-
limited legal tender, as is the old IDOL
lar of our dads" the first Of which
was coined in 1894 and the last In
1873.
Coins that virtually have disappear
ed from circulation are gold three
dollar and one dollar pieces, the trade
dollar Of silver, the nickel three cent
piece, the copper two cent piece, tne
copper half cent and silver three ana
five cent pieces.-Omaha World-Her-

FREE ADvERrlslNaI ABUSE.
Ingenuity and Psrsistond Used to
Cheat the Newspaper Publisher.

Ingenuity and Persiston@ Used TO
Cheat the Newspaper Publisher.
The demand for free qdvertising Is
In extent, persistence ahd ingenuity
beyond the belief of any but those
who have had experiencein In the busi-
ness. A man who would never think
of going into grocery store and re-
questing the proprietor to donate q
barrel of -four or into shoe store and
telling the owner that II he has no OBJ
lection he thinks he'll help himself to
a pair of shoes, win walk confidently
into a newspaper ONCE and prefer his
request for several dollars worth of
free advertising and feel nightly Of
Tended II refused, says the Salt Lake
City News.
All Of which is true, agrees the Ny
ack IN. ~ Star. The solicitor Of free
advertising is always sure that the
proprietor would be glad Of some-
thing to help I'LL up the paper" he
is just as glad as the sroceryman Is
glad of some one to help carry pff his
stock without payment. Time and
again, under the guise OF news items,
matter is presented which is plain ad-
vertising and II used az ali should be
paid for as such.
The newspaper proprietor expects to
furnish a certain amount Of free ad-
vertising to religious, charitable and
public enterprises. Il he didn't he
would be looked on as 1 heather. hard
hearted, mercenary, lacking In public
spirit. His contribution Is accepted
as a matter Of course, and rarely q
he, accorded a word Of thanks Some
tirnes he refuses to donate as much
space as the promoter Of some enter
prise desires, and then he is looked up
on as unreasonable and disobliging. The
proprietor also expects and Is willing
to give a little free advertising to
those who run paid advertisements In
his paper.
This Is a matter Of business court
esy which is rarely abused. But with
the horde Of solicitors for free adver-
tising which constantly besiege the
newspaper Offices, With no possible
claim upon It's courtesies save the hope
of getting something for nothing, the
proprietor has no sympathy whatever.
The duties that newspaper proprte-
tor and editor owe to the public are
numerous, diverse and exacting. 1t Is
high time that public should under
stand that these duties do not include
the sacrifice Of considerable amount
Of valuable space for the benefit of in
dividuals or enterprises which give
nothing In return.

A QUESTION OF CEREALs.-A man
sat on the veranda of one Of the most
exclusive clubhouses which line the
north shore of the government chan-
mel connecting Lake st. George with
Lake Huron, known as "The Flats
says the Boston Post.
AS he sat there idly a huge steam
freigbter bound for Detroit CAME
within hailing distance Of the veran-
da. Seeing two men who were evil
IDENTIFY passengers returning his gaze
with interest from the ships deck, he
picked up the club megaphone and
called out Justify:
what are you loaded with"
Corn" was the prompt reply
What are you loaded with?'
Rye" came sadly over the waters
to the ears Of the men on the deck as
the vessel steamed away.

CHAPTER XXI.
LIKE A BIRD IN THE AIR.

LIKE A BIRD In IttE AIN.
~ RATION sprang lightly to
- the shore, and finding a
INl, suggestion Of path up the
cliff, clambered Slowly over
the stones, until he stood on the mar
row shelf of rock at the foot Of the
tower. He threw his head far back
and looked up along its slanting sur
face. The clouds had broken now, and
though the sky was still adrift with
them racing before the wind, he could
see, around the black edge OF the cren-
ellated top, star or two.
AS he gazed upward that peculiar op-
tical delusion which seizes people who
look up at the sheer pitch Of q lofty
building came upon him. 1t seemed
to him as though. the castle were
swaying toward him; as though In an
other moment it might fall and crush
him. He lost all sense Of the consid-
cradle inclination Of the tower, or II
there were any variation from the
perpendicular; 1t seemed to him to
slope back over his head, instead OF
away from him. 1t was an appalling
sight. He stood at gaze second or
two and looked straight before him.
"This will never do" he murmured,
'if I hesitate longer shall be lost"
He leaned his forehead against the
wall and closed his eyes, breathing a
prayer at the same time, and having
recovered his calmness thereby, he
slowly and cautiously began the as
cent. He put his foot on the first pro-
jecting stone and reached across the
rough surface until his fingers clutched
another jutting block. Then he swung
himself into the air.
He looked neither up nor down, nor
sidewise, but stared straight at the
wet stones in front of him as he mo-
notonously plodded up. He dared not
look elsewhere, in fact. He found the
angle between the tower and the wall
presently and with infinite care he
made his way painfully upward. Once
he glanced quickly above him. The
goal was miles away, yet it seemed
as il he had been crawling up those
rocks for hours.
Once his foot slipped on q round
damp stone, and 1t was only by su-
perhuman effort, aided by q little
larger projection which happened to
be under his right hand, that he kept
himself from falling. But presently,
as he fearfully made the slow ascent,
his courage returned to him. He for
got the danger and began to feel him
self immune from 1t. England and
her service came back to him, Anne
sprang into his mind. She was there,
perhaps, behind that window, from
which the light streamed out into the

JUST A POLITICAL MACHINE.
Serious Charges .as.to the. Growing
Power of the Dispensary.

Serious Charges .asIto the. Growing
Powsr of the Dispensary.
The South Carolina dispensary l!
reliably stated and generally believed
to have degenerated into the machine
Of business establishment in the city
Of Columbia, which controls the in
stitution in its interest. By means ot
heavy deposits in certain banks this
Columbia business enterprise Is be.
lieved to control certain newspaper
which were formerly opposed to the
dispensary, but which will not now
utter one word against 1t. This Co.
lumbia business concern Is said to con-
troll not only the state board Of direc-
tors, but every employe Of the dis
pensary Is claimed to be at its beck
and call.
This Columbia concern is making
money by the barrel out Of the dis
pensary and the monopoly 1t enjoys
by the sufferance and neglect Of the
people of South Carolina who are
maintaining an institution under the
guise of a state moral institution to
cause wealth to flow into the Golfers OF
this Columbia business concern which
has no claim whatever on the taxpay-
ers Of South Carolina.
Every effort is made by this Colum-
bia concern and its emissaries to ST.
lence newspapers in South Carolina
and prevent criticism Of the dispen-
sary and the awakening Of the people
of the state to the manner In which
they are being despoiled by a corrupt
private snap, operating under the
cloak Of morality. This effort to muz-
zle newspapers In different parts OF
the state has to some noticeable ex-
tent been successful, and several news
papers which could formerly be relied
on to oppose the dispensary when 1t
was less corrupt and scandalous than
now are strangely silent when all over
the state there is a crying demand for
the reform or abolishment Of the dis
pensary.
These silent and docile newspapers
cannot misrepresent or conceal the
sentiment Of the people Of the state
which is overwhelmingly opposed to
the dispensary as shown in the heavy
vote against it in Cherokee county and
the demand for elections to pass on
1t in other counties and the general
assault being waged on 1t by the pull
pit and a large part Of the press OF
the state. Few newspapers are de-
tending the dispensary, but some OF
those who would be expected in con-
formity with their past records and
Affiliations to take a prominent part
in the fight against 1t are remarkably
silent and bespeak in forceful terms
the great influence that the dispensa-
ry machine and the Columbia business
establishment that is so closely allied
with It are able to exert.-Spartan-
burg Journal, Nov. %.

LEW DOCKSTADhR.

Amusement lovers are already on the qui vive for the coming Of Lew Dockstader and his big minstrel com pany Friday evening at Polls, and from what is heard on all sides there is every reason to expect that the lo- cal theatrical season win be started off with most suspicious boom. MT Dockstader hiGself heads the organi- zation and will present Ia company of white artists all in blackface. Never since the commencement of his fa- nous career has this artist been sur rounded with a company equal to the one he will present here on this occa- sion. If sprightly music, delightful comedy picturesque novelties, and an fayorite minstrel comedian and pre-
 nier monologuist of America, Lew Dockstader. can constitute an even ing's entertainment then the audience that greets him should have nothing left for which to wish. 1t is difficult to imagine happier combination of pleasure satisfying ingredients, and there seems to be little doubt that Lew Dockstader and his manager, James II. Decker. will achieve highly grat- flying result. The consensus of opin- ion among those who have witnessed the presentation in other places seems ito be that Lew Dockstader is sur rounded with company of exception al excellence. even surpassine the ex- cellent one of last year, which was conceded to be the greatest ever seen. Everybody and his neighbor will want to be on hand to greet the genial Lew and his fellow entertainers.
