He Lost His Dignity.

A pompous individual from the East,
says Texas newspaper, happened to be
travelling in western Texas and stopping
at hotel, when trouble started among
some cowboys who prepared to conduct
the argument with revolvers.
Stranger" said Texan to the pomp.
pous man,s'it would be good idea fur you
to lay down on the floor until this dis
pute is settled"
.'It does not comport with the dignity
of Boston gentleman of my profession,
said the ,pompous gentleman, ITO wallow
in the dirt on the floor"
"You may be right, stranger" answered
the Texan as he prepared to recline, "but
my opinion is that you had better lose
yer dignity for the time bein' than to
have the daylights let in your system by
a." He lost his dignity.

As an illustration of carrying militar.

As an illustration of carrying military
discipline too far, this story is told by
Cen. N. A Miles: There was certain
colonel, who in the middle of campaign
seized with sudden ardor about hygiene.
He ordered that all men change their
shirts at once. This order was duly car
ried out, except in the case of one com.
pany, where the privates' wardrobes had
been pitiably depleted. The captain OF
this company was informed that none of
his men could change their shirts, since
they had only one apiece. The Colonel
hesitated q moment, and said firmly;
Orders must be obeyed. Let the men
change with each other

liyin': but we measure him fur whut he is
worth ter society"
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1905-02-09

The State house may fall and no dome
save that of the vaulted sky above be left,
but we will risk silk hat that once in
twelve months the South Carolina legis-
lature will meet in Columbia and draw
Der diem for the full period permitted by
the constitution-andm more than one 6l-
ennial session amendment voted by the
people will be required to prevent. The
law allows the solons to receive pay for
exactly the number of days and nights
that the windows of heaven were opened
in the time of Noah. We are confident
that our faithful statesmen would meet
each day even during such a series of
showers-ark or no ark, State house or no
State house.-News and Courier.
