GIHI IN Boys CLOTHES.
4 Lassie From North Carolina MaS4uerad-
ing as a Lad-She Fooled the
Boys at First.


What to all outside appearances
was a boy on Monday afternoon
strolled the streets of Newberry as
stranger in q strange land, chew
ing tobacco and expectorating,
without license, as fully and fire.
ly as any masculine hobo who could
raise quid; fairly good looking as
boy but not so comely as girl.
The young traveller was not dressed
in the height of fashion; but in
this instance the "clothes did not
make the man, ''or boy either. The
''youth" applied for nights lodg-
ing and was provided with cell
at the station house by our gallant
and accommodating policemen. AS
vet no one suspected that the little
North Ca-olinian was other than
represented to be. She looked a
boy, and style and manners bore
out the deception to perfection, al
though her feet and hands did
look rather small for boy. But
in this case, as is often the case,
appearances proved to be deceitful
in the end. Strange to say, though,
everybody who, came in contact
seemed to have a tender feeling for
the poor orphan, as if they had
spremonition that they were enter
;taining an angel uuawares, and
they were gentle in their treatment.
"He" was not such a rough
booking customer, even considering
the somewhat seedy clothes and
hat, but "she'' did not turn out to
be an angel, because she had too
much of a boys ways about her.
But we must not be too severe. 1t
may be, and perhaps is, true that a
few years ago ''she was some
h>dy's love" and that 'ssomebody's
heart enshrined her there; some
body waited her name above, night
and morn on the wings Of prayer"
ct was while seated in the office
of Chief Bishop, surrounded by
officials and other citizens, they
talking of every thing in general
and nothing in particular, that she
weakened and"gave herself away.
Atleast she told this reporter atthat
iuncture she felt that her sex was
about to be discovered and identity
disclosed and that it would probab-
.lY be to her advantage to let the
disguise become known. The
"Broadbrins'' and Carl Greens"
and mick Carriers" Of our police
force were becoming too much tor
her peace at mind. After listening
to as much Of the conversation as
she thought necessary and answer
ing as many questions as she re-
garded expedient, she cut the pro-
ceedings short by calling an official
aside ard saying suddenly: II am
a woman" The secret revealed
she related her story.
She was travelling under the as
sumed name oe Webb, but said her
true name was Laura Williams, and
that she was going on seventeen"
was from Rutherford; that her
motuer had been dead thirteen
years and her father SIX. She has
a brother living IN Columbia and
was on her way there.
The City Council! had her dressed
and paid her way to Columbia.

 2.

 Action of Assumpsit.-Appealf from the
 City Court of Bessemer.
 1. Acceptance of order or bill or exchange; its effect.--The acceptance of a bill of exchange, which is founded upon a consideration of value, imports an engagement on the part of theeac cepter to pay the bill to the payee or the riRhtful owner thereof, when, ac- cordinR to its terms, 1t becomes due and payable: and the acceptor thereby be- comes primarily the principal debtor. his obligation being similar to that of the maker of the promissory note. 2.

 l. Writ of error; when issued in crim- final cases.-Under the statute author izine writs of error in criminal cases (Code 4327-4332.) a writ of error can only be awarded on a judgment rem dered by a court in a criminal case and for some error of law apparent on the record of the primary court.

 3. Arrest by police officer without warrant.--A police officer while on duty has authority to arrest at any time or place a person whom he knows to be charged with a felony; and to authorize such arrest it is not necessary that he should have a warrant thereof.

That womans part in the infinite plan

The best that am and the best that I

From my mothers lips in wisdom fell
In the twilight shades of the long ago.
Now. God help the man. for sore his need
When mother wisdom and mother love
Have failed through the days of his
youth to lead
To the bright, white ligh; all the rnists

We men do stumble: We falter still:
We daily with Sin when her robe seems
fair,
But stray We may roam n we will,
We never forget a mothers prayer
And so 1 say. and say 1t again.
That ever some woman is in our best,
And. thinking of her. men lift again
The burden they dropped when II sore
ly pressed.
What matter the fools OF the woman kind
Who barter their birthright for pottage

Somewhere is the one whom your soul
enshrined.
To lure you and lead to the heights
attained.

To face tn eternal Presence now.
To catch radiant glimpse OF heaven.
And feel Gods touch upon thy brow.
But sight of God enlarges sight.
And thou cans't see a sullied earth
Revolving in the baleful light
OF passions flame with CHASTITY mirth.
Thou seest manhood oft defiled
And womanhood trailed in the dust
Ana cen the pure and trusting child
Betrayed in her most holy trust
o pure in hearti to thee It's given
To help lift up fallen race.
And to advance that glorious heaven
That still on earth may find place
That heavenly time when man. as king,
Shall rule himself with stern CONTROL
When he his passions all shall bring
Under dominion of the soul.
When woman. strong and brave and free
No longer waits mans royal nod
When children born in purity
Shall be heritage from God.

A TALKING CROW.
Missouri Bird Is Loquacious.-How

has this capacity. In one case, now

deal of English. The crow in question
Is well known resident of Cameron,
Missouri. and is the property of Ho-
mer MCGEE. the son of carpenter OF
that place.
The bird Is in the habit of greeting
various persons whom he meets in the
streets in a loud voice, though, aside
from few words. his vocabulary is
little known to the ordinary citizen
But at home he becomes loquacious
and hfs owner Is sometimes compelled
to insist that crows shall be seen and
not heard.
One gray-haired woman relates that
she was leaving home on a certain af-
ternoon when she heard cry OF
"Grandma! Grandma" She looked
everywhere. thinking that her little
grandson had come. but presently saw
the crow peeping mischievously from
the house-top.
When the writer visited at his home

He plays with children. but fights If
they disturb him. He is neat in his
habits. taking a bath frequently, and
using as a tub any vessel whatever
which happens to contain enough wat
er, having been known thus to honor
a frying pan on occasion. He takes
the greatest pleasure in scattering
over the floor any nails which he may
discover. He allows nothing to grow
in his owners garden after its head
has once appeared above soil.-New

no beds are used, and on top of a
great stove, reaching nearly to the
roof, is a much sought sleeping place.
Although the conditions make dirt
and accompanying results inseparable
in the lives of these peasants, they
are devotedly fond of bathing. The

QUEER EFFECTS OF SUNSHINE.

der Heat Rays.

Every one knows that the heat OF
the sun will expand iron and steel.
Stevenson's tubular bridge over the
Menai straits is 400 feet long. The
heaviest train passing over it bends IL
just half an inch, yet on a July day.
after the sun has been shining on it
for several hours. it is found to be
bent an inch and half below its usual
horizontal line. The heat of the sun
acts on stone as well as metal. a fact
which is proved by the Washington
monument. 1t is 555 feet high. but
it will be found to be about two inches
higher in the evening than in the
morning of a sunny day. A strange
effect of sunshine was noted at Plym-
outh, where to lay the foundation of a
sea wall the workmen had to descend
ip diving bell. These bells had stu
pidly been fitted with convex cir
cular glasses at the top. The sea was
very calm and the glasses SO concen-
trated the rays of the sun that the
