An Editor's Toast.


AT un editorial convention one of the
country editors offered the following
toast:
ITO save an editor from starvation
take his newspaper and pay him for it
promptly. To save him from bank
ruptcy advertise in his paper liberally.
10 save him from despair send him
every item of news of which you can
get hold. To save him from profanity
write your correspondence plainly on
one side Of the sheet and send it In as
early as possible. To save him from
mistakes bury him. Dead people are
the only ones that never make mis-
takes. Newspaper readers would do
well to remember that there are no per-
feet people, editors or readers"

The expression in the prayer book,
"Nindly fruits of the earth,'' has for
most persons no definite meaning on
account of the difference in signiti-
cance now attached to the word kindly
from that used when vthe expression
was first written. The word kindly in
that connection meant rs nearly as
possible ''of its kind" and the express
sion kindly fruits of the earth" meant
the fruits of the earth each after Its
kind"

Place In Perak.
In Perak lawyers find no business,

When all is ready two stakes are
driven into the bed Of q stream, and
by aid of bamboo pole the heads of
the two boys are submerged at the
same time.
BY grasping the stakes they are en-
abled to remain under water for quite
awhile after their natural inclination
would bring them to the surface, but
at last one Of them gives in and, re-
leasing his hold of the stake comes to

He Is Immediately seized, and the

KILLS A MAD DOG.
Young Woman, With a Heavy Driver,
Kills the Dog.

PHILADELPHIA, July 15.-The cry
of mad dog" had no terror for Miss
Mary A. Graham when it was raised
in Huntington park while the Penn So
cial of Kensington was holding it's an
nual picnic. In the afternoon the
members of the club went to the golf
links in the rear of the park.
In the midst of an interesting play
the cry of mad dag" was raised
among the children in the park. Many
of the men who were watching the
golf players sought refuge and safety
by climbing into trees. The women of
the group stood helpless with terror.
Screams of fright broke from them as
a large red and white setter dog,
frothing at the mouth, sprung into the
links. The players, with the exception
of Miss Graham, were paralyzed with
fear at the approach of the dog. But
Miss Graham took a firm grip on her
heavy driver and waited.
The mongrel went straight for Miss
Graham, who was standing at the first
hole. The young woman gave one tre-
mendous strike as the dog came within
reach and he rolled over on the grass,
dead. The heavy golf stick had hit the
brute behind the right ear, causing al
most instant death.

ALLEN AND CURDy IN AGAIN

TODAY.
Taken in Tow as They Stepped From
JaiI-Have Had a Light Diet
Since Monday.

James Allen and Edward Curdy, two
members of the fighting six" arrest
ed and jailed for fighting with camp
ers below Dement'S mill two weeks
ago, were arrested by Constable Pet
erson as they stepped from the county
iail this afternoon. The men are
charged with having stolen a meer-

store belonging to a travelling man.
The pipe was valued at SIS.
Allen and Curdy are two OF the pris-
oners who went on strike Monday
when ordered onto the chain gang and
were placed in the dungeon on a diet
of bread and water for their disobed-
ience. They nave been in the mole"
since Monday morning and since then
have had no food except a piece OF
bread and a cup Of water each day.
The men have stuck it out but with
another sentence staring them In the
face it is quite likely they will prefer
working on the chain gang rather than
spending their time in the dungeon on
the light diet provided for refractory
prisoners.

LEAD SLUGS CAUS,rx
Slot Machine Men Are Losing Money
Through Counterfeiters.

TACOMA, July 15.-Secret service
men from this city have been in Ia
coma for the past couple of days in
vestigating complaints from there that
cOunterfeiters have been making slugs
in the form of 25-cent pieces for the
purpose of beating" the slot machines
of that city. Last night Captain Bell,
chief of the service here, returned from
Tacoma bringing with him a number
of the slugs given him by Baldie, the
reputed owner of most of the money
slot machines in the city.
The slugs are similar to those manu.
factured some time ago by Ed Stick
ney, the convict who recently headed
the break out of the federal peniten-
tiary on McNeirs island, and whose
conviction for counterfeiting came as
a direct result of the discovery. The
coins are of lead and on one side bear
the regular impress of a quarter of
dollar. The other side is blank. Seen
in the slot machines the coins look like
a genuine quarter and are of the same
weight.
Although the federal government
can secure no conviction on a counter
feiting charge against men who have
passed save in slot machines, the sec
ret service men believe that if they
discover the guilty parties it is possi-
BILE that they can be able to unearth
a regular cOunterfeiting plant

Mrs Christie's father, J. Teller
The wheat crop in Franklin county
this year promises to be the best ever
harvested since the land was settled
on said Mr.. Christie this morning.
Harvesting has just been commenced
and so far the yield has been consid-
erably better than was anticipated
early in the spring. While much
threshing has not yet been finished
several fields show an average yield of
80 bushels per acre. The wheat is of
the best quality. The fall sown grain
is turning out better than spring
wheat yet the entire yield will be far
above the average"
Mr.. Christie has a homestead near
Connell which is partially in crop this
year.

the order of the late Secretary Morton
relieving Civil Engineers Walker and
Harris from inspection duty at
Charleston drydock and sent the engi-

that evidence tends to show that with
out vigorous inspection the work
would not be equal to that called for
