just think Of it, III ali moist and
muddy Great Britain, our fashion set
ter, in honor and in imitation of which
American pantaloons are turned up,
wet or dry, partridges are now almost
as extinct, as the lamented dodo.
With the partridge gone, the Eng
lishmans' only game bird, is the hand
raised pheasant, nearly as tame as
barn yard fowl and, its butchery with
dog and gun and often by the help of
drivers, is all that's left him, as an
apology for sport.
For him, who would shoot a gun
without fear being run in as a poacher,
no matter what's the aim, there's no
place, like America and for him, who
loves to hunt partridges and to find
them, there's no place like South
Carolina. The season opens on Nov.
1st and, not until then, is it lawful to
kill partridge.

THE PRESIDENT.

With the exception Of Crum's .ap-
pointment at Charleston and in
that, it is whispered that there is
much that local politicians could
explain. Theodore Roosevelt, Pres
:dent of the United States, has
proven himself to be as much a
friend to the South, as of any other
part of this country, and what more
can the South ask or expect. We did
not vote for him, but we must recog-
nize his fearless honesty, his thorough
manliness and his great ability. We
must give him credit for a personality
characterized, in it's make up, to an
astonishing degree by those attributes,
which We proudly call American.

A committee of ecclesiastical wise
acres were appointedto determine the
sex of angels and to decide whether
the statues should be re ejected on ac
count Of being in female form. On The
grounds that every angel mentioned
in the bible, has the name of a man,
and incidentally, for lack OF drapery
&C, the statues were rejected, so in
disgust, that the female form should
not be acceptd. as angelic, the artist
smashed the statues into Smithereens

An odd Epitaph.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
"Franklin's epitaph, where he COM
pared himself to an old book, is known
to all of u.s." said an antiquary. Here
is a copy of less famous epitaph, the
epitaph of matchmaker, George Rit-
ter, who compared himself to watch
that had run down."
The man took out his note book.
George Ritter" ne said, 'lived in
New Hampshire, in the town of New
port. He died in 1922"
Then he read:
"'Here lies, in horizontal position,
the outside case of George Ritter,
whose abiding place in that line was
an honor to his profession. Integrity
was his handspring, and prudence the
regulator of all the actions of his life.
Humane, generous and liberal, his
hand never stopped till he had relieved
distress. He never went wrong, ex-
oept when set a-going by people who
did not know his key. Even then he
was easily set right again. He had
the art of dispensing of his time so
well that his hours glided by in one
continual round of pleasure and de-
light, till an unlucky minute put an

No one can do the work as well as you.

come from Christian service" Lord,

Christian man, whether he be rich or
poor.
Rich man, God is calling you to go and
work in his vineyard. The harvest is
ripe; the laborers are few. What would
you think If when the thirteen colonies
were in a death grapple for their liber-
ties George Washington had stayed at
home and sent substitute to the war?
If George Washington the rich man,
could afford to give up everything for
his native land, you can afford to give
Christ your personal service. Christ
wants your money. Yes, he also wants
you Woman, society woman woman
with your diamonds and silks, you cannot
afford to send a servant to represent you
in service for Jesus Christ. The reason
you and your husband are drifting away
from grace is due 10 lack of Christian
service. Daughter, son, children Of
wealthy parents, never think you are
above working in the young peoples socl-
cites for Christ. Christ wants you. He
wants you to consecrate your possessions
to his cause, but he also wants you. Let
the rich man and the rich woman, the
rich son and the rich daughter, as well as

to the gospel chariot and pull all to-

The wedding cannot be very far off

Almost sacrilegious does it seem to men

these sacred places. In order to inter-
pref the literature of the Bible Alright
you must read it by the customs and the
habits and the lives of the people of past
centuries. You must have the sandals

Even now there are railroad trains run

fast as they can make them travel. But
the camels are very heavily laden. The
road is steep. The pace is slow. l hear

A Cry to the Waterman.

The two men approach the city wall
with its shut gates. 'iIo, Waterman, ho!
they cry. "Open unto us; open unto
us!' NAY nay says the Waterman;
that is against the law. But i will open
for you the needles eye if you wish"
"All right" answer the merchantmen;
I'VE will come in by the needles eye"
With that the Waterman descends from
his lookout tower, and within the gate
he opens a door. This heavy door is cut
into the gate as panel can be cut out
of door. 1t is called the needles eye.
In the meantime the camels are unloaded.
Then the owners command command the
big stupid brutes to kneel, and by coax
ings and beatings and growlings and
cursings the camels on their knees are
compelled to drag themselves through this
small door. All the baggage which was
packed upon the camels' backs Is carried
within the city walls in the arms of the
merchantmen. Then the door, or the
needles eye, is shut, and the great city,
fearless of outside foes, sleeps on. All,
it was no easy matter TO make a camel
go through the needles eye. 1t is no
easy manner for a rich man to enter into
the kingdom of God. Christ says it. In
the one case as in the other the diff
Guilty is almost insurmountable. Why?
Why is it "easier for a camel to go
through the eye of a needle than for a
rich man to enter the kingdom of God?"
The rich man, in the first place, is loath
to bend the knee and come to Christ as

The Real Issue.

There are two issues after all.
Above the ones that speech ma call
Or wisdom utter;
Two issues that with me and you
Are most -important-and the two
Are bread and butter.
Let patriotic banners wave,
Let economic speakers rave:
IT'S not potential
The Art proclaim or Music sing:
The Loaf is after all the thing
That's most essential.
Truth seeks some broader meeting place
For breed or clan or tribe or race
For saint and sinner;
But after all the noise and fuss
The issue paramount with us
Is-What for dinner?
New theories we may evolve,
Old governments we may dissolve,
New flags float DER us,
And Truth may search and Wisdom think,
Still these two planks of meat and drink
Are yet before us.
So let contention holly wage.
And let the wars Of logic rage
In discourse fretted;
When all the clamor Is complete
The issue still is what to eat
And how to get It!

~HAND-TO-HAND FIGHTING.
Sample Of Tragedies Now Being
Enacted in the East.

1t was 10 o'clock in the morning
when we saw coming out from their
hiding places a small band OF Russian
soldiers, writes a Japanese Magazine.
That was the beginning Of the fierce
onslaught. 1t was as if somebody had
revived in this civilized day Of ours
the scenes from the old story books.
when swords, spears, bows and ar
rows were the only weapons OF war,
and men slashed away at Zach other.
1t was Just at this time that we saw a
Russian officer rise from the ranks.
and leaping over the dead bodies OF
his men and comrades and putting
himself at the head of the ranks, try
by his daring example to revive the
spirits of his men. Against the lurid
background of blood and fire he made
a superb figure, always rushing in
front of his men, his sword cleaning
ever over the heads of the fighting
men. \
At last this officer rushed out, call
ing always and loudly upon his men
to follow. When he vas within a
few feet of our men he turned his
head to see whether his men were
obeying his order. Instead of follow
ing at his heels his soldiers were
trampling upon each other in the
mad effort to run away. The sight
broke his heart, evidently. He turned
the point of his sword he had held
against himself. An instant later he
fell with his heart pierced through.
