Dodging the Butcher.

A miners wife some time ago ran
I'D bill at the butchers and was al
ways in fear of being pressed for the
money. One day she espied the
butcher, Mr.. Dodgin, coming up the
path, so she told her husband to slip
out the back way and so avoid the url-
welcome visitor The butcher, gett-
ing no response at the front door,
went to the back, where he met the
husband coming out. Il am Dodgin,
the butcher he exclaimed.
"Bedad. so am l." said the miner.

President Roosevelt spent two days
in New York this week.
Frank Raisinger was hanged at
Bridgeton, n. J., for murder OF wife.
The drop fell at 1904 The rope
broke as the body rebounded and the
back of Raisinger's head struck a
cross beam of the scaffold and broke
his neck. The physicians present said
death was instantaneous. Ralslnger
was not officially pronounced dead un-
til ten minutes later.

A Good Natured Wife.

An English rustic whose wife was
blessed with a remarkably even tenn
per went over the way to neighbor
one evening and said:
"Neighbor, just should like to see
my wife cross for once. I've tried all
I know, and l can't make her cross no
way"
You can't make your wife CROSSE"
said his neighbor Il wish I could
make mine anything else. But YOU
just do what I tell you, and if that
won't act nothing will. You bring
her in some night a lot of the crook
edest sticks for the fire you can get
them as won't lie in no form-and see
how she makes out then"
The pieces of wood were according
lv brought in, as awkward and crook
ed and contrary as could be found.
The man went away early to work
and at noon returned to see the result
of his experiment.
He was greeted with smiling face
and the gentle request:
Tom, do bring me in some more OF
those crooked stick if you can find
them. They do just fit around the
kettle so niceiy!"

NEW FEDERAL JUDGE BILL.
How Mr.. Finley Surprised His Broth
er Members.

Washington. February G5.-South
Caroinans who are interested in the
creation OF a new District Judge now
have hopes Of obtaining favorable leg
islation during the present session.
The Johnson bill. which was object
ed to last week, was put through the
house yesterday by Representative
Finley, just as the house was about
to adjourn. In the absence Of Mr..
Johnson Mr.. Finley was recognized
by Speaker Cannon and the bill was
passed. Representative Mann, who
objected to the bill last week, reluc-
tantly withdrew further objection,
and Speaker Cannon, who was fried
ly to the measure, declared the Jill
passed. and in the next breath ad-
journed the house The other men,
bers of the delegation did not know
the bill had passed until they learned
of it today.
Senator Latimer is confident he can
pass the bill through the senate; the
only question is whether the senate
will insist upon amending the bill to
substitute Greenwood for Spartan
burg as one of the places for holding
court.
The scramble for the prospective
judgeship was resumed today and the
members of the delegation have been
flooded with kilograms today from
all parts of the state by asplrants tor
the appointment.
Senator Latiner will seek the earll-
est opportunity to ask unanimous
consent to consider the bill in the
senate. If he is wise he will accept
the bill as it, passed the house, for de-
lays are dangerous at this late stage
in the session.

The bill establishing an industrial

which has passed the house, is now in
the senate and has been discussed,
though up until this morning the sem
ate had not taken a vote Senator
Cole. L. Blease made an argument
against the bill on Tuesday, saying
that his duty was the moving power
in his action and that he could not be
deferred by women's pleas, by news

political opponents. He regarded a
barrel stave. effectively applied, as
the best reformatory for boys. He
had not seen the need for a reforma-
tory, if Newberry was an example
that might be taken.
