Out of the Mouths of
Babes.

The naughty New York World
anents the talk Of the learned theo-
logians who tell US with such famili-
arity in the use Of the Name and with
such pesitiveness as to their own
knowledge Of the will or the require
ments Of the Creator from the crea-
ture. tells this story, which points
it's own moral:
Ethel, the four year old daughter
Of prominent member of the stock
exchange, is very fond of romancing.
A short time ago she came into din
ner from playing.
''Well, dear" her mother asked,
"where have you been this after
noon?'
"I've been down at Susie Browns,
playing with a lion"
what" said her mother, "not a
lion, Ethel?"
Eyes, mother, real, live lion."
why Ethel, you ought to be
ashamed of yourself; you know it
was only the Browns St. Bernard.
Now, when you 60 to bed | want you
to tell God what you said and ask
Him to forgive you"
"All right, mamma, DEAR" re-
sponded Ethel, unabashed, "but it
reall y was lion"
After the little one was in bed her
mother went up to bid her good
night.
did you tell God what you said,
Ethel2" she asked.
Eyes, mamma, and God said 'Oh,
that's all right, Miss Ethel; I've
often taken that dog for a lion my

session )" yet the members seemed to
get their moneys worth. The food
was excellent, and the friendly spirit
Of the feast, exemplified in voluntary
mattresses, lasted through the busi-
ness meeting. Members who had
been negecting the association found
that they had had good time, and
resolved to come again.
Then and there, indeed, the asso-
citation took fresh lease on life.
Few societies Of it's size exert an
equal influence. and the reason is
that few are so united. The mem
bers are drawn together by some
thing more than interest in COM
mon occupation. They are held in
ties Of friendship which the "dinner
sessions" regularly renew.
"But please remember" explained
the proposer Of the plan, eve have
never tried to make money by
it. We don't poster friends for con-
tributions. We don't ask anybody
to work for nothing, making arrange
ments. We take turns serving each
other, but everybody pays for her
meal, and gets good one.
ITO eat together is sure way to
promote sociability-by our method.
But il some Of our members were
worn out from getting things ready,
and il the others knew they were pay
ing quarter apiece for ten cents
worth of food, so the society could
make a profit out of them, do you
think we'd enjoy it?
"We find our profit in the good
feeling that our little picnic dinners
foster. All our successes arise from
that. And when it's members are in
perfect harmony, society has no
trouble raising all the money it
needs. youths Companion.

WHAT "DINNER
SESSlONS' DID.
a Suggestion to Teach
er'S Association.

The Association of Intermediate
Teachers was in bad way. 1t had
been founded in high enthusiasm ten
years before, and at first it's meetings
answered sll the hopes Of the pioneers.
Later, dry-rot seemed to fasten upon
it.
Attendance fell eff. Sometimes
the member chosen to read a paper
on some phase Of teachers work
defaulted altogether, and generally
the discussion that followed a read
ing was dry and formal. Teachers
who wero faithful to the association
remained 80 from a sense of dutv.
but found little pleasure in it. At
this juucture one woman made a sug-
gestion.
"We are all unmarried and self.
supporting" she said, "and many of
us are so nearly homeless that we have
to board at restaurants. We have
dinner or supper or tea, whatever we
call it at six o'clock. Why shouldn't
we meet here at that hour and have
the meal together? Our busine 81
meeting would follow. We could
close earlier, and since we come from
all parts of the city, and don't enjoy
returning late at night, we'd save
considerable wear and tear
Circumstances favored her idea, for
the janitor of the hall was caterer in
small way, and his capable, moth
erly wife was glad Of a chance to
make things pleasant for these young
er women. Provided q certain num-
Der came, they agreed to supply a
good meal, including at least one hot
dish at the rate of twenty i've cents
a head.
Curiosity mainly, accounted for a
large attendance at the first "dinner

leads to unanticipated extremity.
1t is not unusual, however, for women
in all stages Of such membership to
admit that the formation of the club
habit is one of it's frequent accom-
paniments. Our knowledge of human
nature does not permit us to discredit
the shrewdness of the advocate of
female suffrage, who frequently en-.
courages all sorts of woman's clubs,
perfectly understanding how this
habit can be utilized to open the
female mind to the acceptance of
their creed.

attempting to make my meaning
palmer or of modifying the opinions
have expressed relating especially
to women's clubs. 1 desire to sup
plement these opinions by declaring
that, while that they have elected
considerable approval from women, I
have been hardly less graoified to dis
cover in the expressions of many who
have dissented tone Of charming
womanliness and moderation, which
has confirmed me in the belief that
there need be no apprehension that
such women are prepared deliberat tely
and willfully to undermine woman's
legitimate mission, but what l fear
more and more is the result of their
good natured and indirect affiliation
with those more radically disposed, +,
who With noisy discomfort, and pos
sibly with not so much disirclinatiou
for notoriety, exploit in the news
papers, their unpleasant temper and
their indifferent attempts to COM
mend women suffrage, accompanied
occasionally by something very like
unwomanly abuse and misrepresenta-
tion.
In the face Of an adverse majority
and such indifference among their
own sex it is not unreasonable to
assume that the propagandists OF
female suffrage who continue to goad
on the cause rely considerably for
final success upon the aid of the
numerous women's clubs, which
whatever their declared object may
be, are apt to pave the way to the
reception of woman suffrage radical
ism. l have lately received letter
from thoroughly conscientious lady
which illustrates the graduation from
membership in moderate woman 3
club to the most extreme affiliations.
While protesting in delightfully."-
womanly way against my views in
regard to woman's clubs, she frankly
admitted the consequences, in her
own case, of acquiring the club habit.
She first joined literary club for
the mutual improvement and cul-
ture" OF It's members; then an art
club, then a civic club, and finally,
having thus been brought within the
Influence OF certain missionaries in
the cause OF female municipal suf-
frage she became, and continues to
be, an ardent convert to that doctrine.
do not claim that many instances
have fallen under my observation
which 80 completely demonstrate how

The Old Time Gentleman.

A few afternoons ago we were in
the union depot at Columbia waiting
for the departure of the Charleston
train. Anxious, restless people were
moving in every direction about the
depot. We sat there and studied the
faces of numbers of them as they
walked around. We could easily tell
the woman Of culture and refinement,
and feel sure of her social standing.
Her face and form and manner told

her position in life. And it was as
easy to select the gentlemen. The
man who had opportunities, and who
had seen something of the world
But somehow, it seemed to ia that
in all that crowd our e, es did lot foil
upon one whose face. dress and de-
meanor made the impression on US
that he was anything like the gentle
men OF former days. His conduct,
in the prese nee Of ladies, lacked evil
dence Of that gallantry so conspicuous
in the old time gentleman. He would
whip out his deadly cigarette, strike
match on the back Of his leg, stick
the ilime to the thing and puff away.
1t ali seemed to be matter Of course,
aud the young women chatted away
with him as merrily as you please.
Finally, our eyes rested upon a
courtly old gentleman standing in
front Of the door. He and young
man had just met, and soon were
engaged in earnest conversation.
They appeared mutually deferential
the one to the other, but it seemed
to US that the elder outdid the
younger, and it WAS all so easy and
graceful. At last lady approached,
having recognized the elderly man.
AS quick as thought one hand grasp
ed his hat, which he raised from his
head, while he gave her the other,
with hearty handshake. There he
stood, with hat raised, as the CONVEX
sation went on. There was not the
slightest evidence Of affectation or
formality. 1t seemed to be second
nature with him, and just the thing
for gentleman to do. We said to
ourself, there is a gen,leman-a gen.
tleman Of the old school-and for the
lack of his type the manhood End the
womanhood Of cur State are all the
worse eff.
We knew him when we first saw
him, We knew him over thirty
years ago when we were student at
Furman University. He was a gen.
tleman then. He is still one. He
was gentleman when he rode at the
head Of his men, and led them into
the deadly conflicts that tried the
souls of his noble braves. He was
younger when we first saw him, but
he is the same gallant, sffable gentle
man, whose age can never take away
from him his magnanimity of soul
and his high regard for ladies, and
his ger u!re pohteness. We wonder
il such men are not born gentlemen,
and if they can really help being
what they are. Be it so. We wish
the young men Of this day could
learn the genuine worth Of true po-
likeness, and practice it, until it
should become second nature with
them. The man to whom we refer was
called by the students, and almost
every one else in Greenville, where he
was rector of Christ Church years ago,
Gen. Ellison Capers. They call him
now Bishop Capers. Grand old vet
eran Of the cross-we wish the world
had more soldiers like you to strike
for that Christianity which softers,
refines and elevates men to the high

that can be paid anyone
is to say that he is Christian gen

self to say this of Bishop Ellison Ca

CONVICTED MEN
ARE INNOCENT.
Governor PdrdOnS PriS-
OnerS charged With
Cracking Safe at
Ldftd.

Columbia, Oct. 5-H. E Cunning
ham, Leonard Hinkey and George H.
Waring, the three men who have
been serving sentence in the penit4p-
tiary on the charge that they robbed
the postoffice and bank at Latta,
have been pardoned by the Governor.
This action was taken after letters
had been received from Judge Watts
ard Inspector Pulsife, setting forth
the fact that these men had been un-
justlyjmprisoned on that charge.
The Story Of the conviction Of these
met constitutes one Of the most pc
culiar constructions OF circumstantial
evidence ever brought out in court.
Cunningham, Hi, kay ind Waring
were convicted Of safe cracking, the
specific charge being that they rob-
bed the bank and postoffice at Lntta
on May 25 1904 They were tried
and convicted and sentencd to two
years imprisonment in the State
penitentiary.
Last spring one Of the post flee
inspectors in walking through the
penitentiary noticed the men there,
and on learning the history of their
trial he stated that they were con-
victed OF crime they did not COM
nit. Their-attorney, J. Fl. Wells, Of
Florence, then took up the matter.
Aftidavits were obtained from par
ties in that section Of the state say.
ing that the men were sign painters
and two Of them absolutely proved
an alibi. Governor Hayward decided
to wait however. until the case was
thoroughly sifted Inspector Greg
ory came to Columbia and gave as his
opinion that the men were innocent.
This was proved afterwards when
James Johnson, Joseph King and H.
Ragens were convicted in the federal
court in Charleston for the same Of
fense.
The latter now has an appeal up,
and the other two are serving a sen.
tence for the crime the three men
were charged with. Later John Nc
Carty, who is now in prison in Con-
necticut, came to this state to testify
in the Rabens case. He said he
wanted to lead better life and was
willing to confess all the crimes in
which he had taken part. His con-
fessiou absolutely cleared Hinkey
and the other men and Inspector Pull
sifer has written the governor.
After these papers were referred to
Judge Watts, who was at first oppos-
ed to the pardon, the Judge at once
commended favorable action on the
petition by the governor, and accord
ingly this was done this morning.
The case is one Of the most interest
ing with which the chief executive
has had to deal, and has attracted at
tention in police circles all over the
country.
