Wouldn't Commit Forgery.

London Tit-Bits.
Among the candidates for appoint
ment to a vacancy on the police force
of an Irish town was one Patrick
Murphy, whose appearance before
the mayor was hailed with cries OF
"He can't write!' The mayor said
he was only there to take down the
names of applicants, who would come
up fortnight later for examination.
A friend set Murphy in a fair,
round hand to copy "Patrick Muir
ply" and kept him practicing at it
assiduously. When the eventful day
arrived, "Take that pen," said the
mayor, "and write-write your
name" AS Pat took up the pen ex-
clamations arose: "Pat's awritin'! '!
He's got quill in his fist! Small
good will it to him! He can't write
with it!''
All were dumfounded when Muir
phv recorded his name in bold,
round hand and the mayor declared,
"Thatll do but one of them shout
ed:
ASK him to write somebody else's
name, yer honor!"
"Write my name, Murphy" said
the mayor.

three dogs are dead and other dogs

It all came about from wager
made by John !Angelhardt, wealthy

church. At meeting Of the aid So
cieyt Aangelhardt was much amused
at the custom of one of the members
of frequently kissing favorlte pood-
lie on the mouth. His merriment pro-
voked the women. and all declared
they we're in the habit Of kissing their
dogs and thought it nice custom.
Angelahrdt then made the wager
that the six could not kiss their dogs
once a day for thirty days, the act to
be performed Immediately after
breakfast. The women took the bet.

If they succeeded, Angelhardt was
to pay them a second time for every

church fair. II they failed, they were
to make for him duplicate OF every

ten days two Of +he women became

A THRILLING RIDE.
How Two Eminent Jurists Were
Held up in an Automo-
bile.

The following is from the Colum~
bia State of Friday:
The recent experience of Judge w.
C. Benet of this city, Mr.. P. A. Will
cox of Florence and Mr. E. A. Jen-
kins Of Sumter in being held up and
fired upon by Nick Britton for at
tempting to pass him in motor car
on the public road near !Alcolu, was
automobiling under new and unex-
pected difficulties. The incident was
referred to in The State yesterday.
Judge Benct was asked yesterday
ior a statement OF the matter. He
said that he and Mr.. Wilcox were at
Manning and wished to get to Sum-
ter in time to see Judge Purdy be-
lore he left home. No trains were
scheduled for that time of day, so
they cngegcd an automobile from
Mr.. Jenkins. who is an expert driver
and keeps machines for rent at Sum-
ter. He went to Manning for them
in splendid new Pope-Hartford
The party left Manning late in the
afternoon and were making a rapid
rum They encountered great many
vehicles of various kinds, some Of
them containing farmers and their
families. All Of these drove to one
side and allowed the machine to pass
until Mr.. Jenkins caught up with
Nick Britton, who was driving in the
same direction. Britton, seeing the
automobile approaching him, drove
his horse to one side Of the road and
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1905-02-28

stopped. He then got out of his bug
gy and began waving them down
with his LETT hand No attempt was
made by Mr. Jenkins to stop and the
man in the middle Of the road level
ed his pistol at them and continued
TO wave his left arm violently. AS
the machine continued to approach
Br::;;on shot several times over their
heals. This brought them to stand
still. but without any apparent reason
Britton fired several more shots,
which like the others, not being aim
ed at the party, went high and did no
harm.
Air. Jenkins then got out and went
forward to where Mr.. Britton was
sanding defiantly in the road, across
a swamp branch cursing and swear
ing that no automobile should pass
him.
Mr.. Jenkins had a quiet talk with
Britton and he put his pistol in his
pocket. A judge and lawyer in the
automobile may have been strong
er argument than pistols.
Judge Benet had nothing but
praise for Mr.. Jenkins. He was not
only cool, but competent and consid-
crate Of all whom he met or overlook
and twice got out of the automobile
and led excited horses past. He was
particularly careful whenever he saw
any lady or child with vehicle.
The journey was continued and the
splendid machine rolled into Sumter
on time, having covered the distance
of 20 miles in one hour and 20 min
utes in spite of all delays-bad roads
and others.
The Rights of the Road.
Judge Benet, in commenting upon
the incident and the entire trip, said
that there should be separate road
ways for motor vehicles, as the ordi
nary vehicles which travel the public
roads have the right of way and that
the machine should turn aside for the
wagon or buggy instead of those We
hicles giving up their rights Of way
for the motor car.
While not approving of the violent
action of Nick Britton, Judge Benet
says he synpathizes with the people
who are frightened and endangered
by passing automobiles.

The Rev. Thomas Van Ness, who

has a rich fund of stories of that
country, tells this anecdote of King
Alfonso:
A certain member of the Spanish
court was urging upon his
majesty the advisability of his
marriage with certain princess,
when the young king interrupted
him.
NO" he said, IT shall marry an
American. First, because the Ameri-
cans are all rich, and that will please
you. Second, because they are all
republicans, and that will please
many of my people. Third, because
they are all beautiful. And that will
please me-"

buffalo which has been telled by a
bullet and is apparently dead, for af-
ter every sign OF life is gone it may
spring to it's feet and deal destruction
i'll every direction. Bron Harnier, a
Prussan, shot buffalo on the White
Nile several years ago. His native
servant had just take a position near

apparently dead wkenit sprang to its
feet and knocked the man headlong.

he courageously dubbed the weapon,
and tried to drive the buffalo off. The
animal turned furiously upon him and
stamped and gored him to death.
The missionaries who found his body
also found the carcass of the buffalo
lying near it. and a little further
way the body of his servant.

the elephant, loves water so much as

lows in the water and plasters itself
with mud. Its coat of mud, when
hardened in the sun affords it pro-

especially in Africa, cause it much

its love OF water when domesticated,
and its practice of lying down in

cursings from it's Indian drivers.
The bufalo's usual way of afford
ing sport is as the hunted. The
Singhalese of Ceylon train it to be a
hunter A favorite game of the
Singhalese is the swamp frequenting
waterfowl. The waterfowls are ac-
customed to bufaloes being near, and
do not fear them. The Singhalese,
therefore, teach the buffaloes to
browse slowly toward the game,
while man with a gun creeps un-
discovered behind them until he gets
within easy shooting distance.
Wild buffaloes are highly gregar-
ious. When herd containing a
number of calves is threatened by
lions OF tigers, the bulls, if there be
time, arrange themselves in a circle
around the COWS and calves, present
ing solid array of horns; and the
enemy must be pretty hungry if he
will then attack. Herds numbering
five Or six hundred used frequently
to be met with in Africa. Like other
wild animals, they were able to hold
their own against savage man armed
only with his bow and arrows and
other crude weapons. But like the
lion, the rhinoceros, the elephant,
and all other large game, they have
been rapidly exterminated since Eu-
ropeans introduced the practice of
hunting them with firearms. 1t sell

Drummond almost thirty years ago,
