Have No Glasses.

When the new Staten Island mu-

operation drinking glasses were pro-
yided in the saloons and cabins to-

OF late the glasses have either been
taken as souvenirs or broken, and no
attempt has been made by the man

suit that if 4 passenger cannot twist
his neck and put it under the faucet
he must go dry. Fancy brass plates
on which to strike matches have been
placed in the mems cabin, but the

Good Time to Remember the Orphans.

AS summer time comes on, the
thought of vacation fills every mind.
We are apt in our seeking after leisure
to forget that there are orphans to be
thought of and cared for. Ask the Su-
perintendents of our Orphans homes
and without exception they will tell you
that the hardest time in the whole
year, is ''the good old summer time"
Provisions get scarce and money agreat
deal scarcer still. 1t is a splendid time
to remember the orphans then. When
the wheat crop comes in, send 'sam-
pies" to be tested by the palates of the
little people. The 200 pupils at the
Thornwell Orphanage could test several
hundred bushels of wheat, for the
neighboring mill makes the gift of
wheat as acceptable as flour. And as
for money, only $500 will care for a
little child for a whole month and there
are 200 little children to be cared for
here. Provisions can be sent to Thorn
we'll Orphanage, Clinton, S. c., and
money to Rev. VIM. p. Jacobs, at the
same place.

A Few Don't.

There are lots of things that men
should not do. Here are a few that
have been jotted down by a Western
editor. The list is worth cutting out and
carrying around in your pocket-book:
Don't.
Just plain don't.
Don't be reckless-especially in your
lying.
Don't give to the Lord and then go
out and rob a widow.
Don't acquire the borrowing habit, or
the day will come when you will run
out of friends.
Don't marry an indolent man ex-
pecting him to brace up, or you may
have to take in washing to pay for the
brace.
Don't lay up everything for a rainy
day and go hungry through life. Be-
sides, where you are going it may
never rain.
Don't be so mean-minded that you
can see no good in a man. He may be
the first to loan you money in time of
need.
Don't spread butter on both sides of
your bread just because you have SO in
your pockets. An earthquake may come
along and shake the change out of
them. Anderson Mail.

An 0Yer.WOrked Cow.

The Darlington News prints the fol-
lowing:
"a story is going the hounds in OAR
lington that there is an Industrious ne
gro in the county who has a COW which
he milks regularly at morning and at
night. That same COW he ploughs till
noon, when he drives her to town with
a load of wood. In the afternoon he
ploughs again and at nightfall another
load Of wood is hauled to town, at which
time the Industrious farmer carries to
market a pound of butter that his in
dustrious wife has made from the cows
milk. At night the Industrious COW
grazes in the green forest nearby. And
thus the thing goes on from day to day.
We recommend neither the plan nor
the butter, but mention it simply as an
example Of diversified industry"
There is either an over-worked cow
or an extraordinary liar in Darlington
we don't know which.
But if the story is true, we would
suggest that the man should fasten the
churn between the plough handles. -
That would save his wife the trouble of
churning and the extra labor wouldn't
hurt the cow. Anderson Daily Mail.

r. r. d. ROUTES.
How Patrons May Aid Faithful Car

riers.
The following bits of advice are
gathered from exchanges and are
printed to aid rural route carriers:
You will be doing your carrier a great
favor if you stamp your mail before same
is put in box or use government stamped
envelopes with return on upper left
hand corner. This will guarantee de-
livery or return of letter. If you should
happen to have stamps or stamped en-
velopes wrap amount up in paper. Re-
member that in cold weather that if the
money is put in the box loose the car
rier has to get off his gloves or mittens
to get hold of the loose pennies.
Always stamp upon the upper right
hand corner.
When addressing a letter to one who
is not a regular patron of a rural route
office, you should mark on the envelope
in whose care the letter or package
should go.
In addressing your letters do not
"liSS cDONS lUC lllbulC VI JIIS cllNclODC
as the address may be partly blurred by
the postmarking stamp.
In regard to boxes, help your carrier
by having a good one in a good easy
place to drive up to and always have
your mail ready.
If you who have visitors who are ex-
p~ecting mail, you should give the car
rier their
Any mail matter deposited in a box is
subject to ordinary postage rates.
Packages should be well wrapped and
securely tied, and all valuable letters
and packages should be registered.
The mail boxes are protected by the
government. Anyone tampering with
them should be reported at once to your
postmaster.
Don't let your n~eighbor hitch his
horse to your mail box post, so that
your carrier has to get out of his wagon
to put mail in.
Don't forget to clean snowdrifts from
your box.
Don't let your mail box post lean half
way over.
Don't set your box on your picket
fence. If you do don't blame the car
rier if he hubs your fence and tears off
a dozen or more pickets.
Don't put letters in the box and for
get to raise the flag.
Don't forget that the flag means
much to carriers in the way of saving
time.
Don't forget to nail your box on the
post when your neighbours COW rubs it
off.
Don't forget to haul a few loads of
gravel and put around your box so that
the carrier can get out to your box with
out miring down.
Don't be afraid to meet your carrier
half a mile to get your mail Especially
where he has to %retrace). He will more
than repay you when you get busy with
your crops. -Spartanburg Journal.

TORTURED TO DEATH
Horrors Said to Have Been Perpetrated
Upon Fruit Tree Agent.

From the Dark Corner reports of a
terrible crime committed by moon
sinners have beer received in this city.
According to the report here a stranger
"a fruit tree agent-who had business
in the mountains, was enticed to the
home of a certain man and while there
he was visited by a crowd of moon
sinners and taken out into the woods
and a crime too horrible to publish was
perpetrated.
So far as known the fellow may be
dead in the mountains, for since the
alleged crime was committed he has
not been seen.
The story is that the moonshiners
suspected the agent of being a state
constable or a revenue officer and en-
ticed him to the home of a certain
m~ountaineer, from where he was taken
out into the fastness of the forest,
bound hand and foot and treated in a
most horrible n The punishment
inflicted upon him was most brutal and
it is said resulted in his death. Spar

The thinker is never a 'tinker,"
We never appreciate the value of a
pocket until there's a hole in it.
Never reply to a disagreeable letter
when you are suffering with the prickly
heat.
He is to be pitied who does not re-
count with pleasure the pranks of his
boyhood.
The race is not always to the swift
it's the steady goer, whokeeps his feet,
and wins out.
The poor fellow who has the reputa-
ton of being funny often has a serious
time in making good.
The agricultural "hoss trots" sug-
gests the thought that great many of
us close u heads" in fast company.
The boisterous individual seems to be
necessary. The base drum isn't musical
but it helps in the ensemble.
The world owes much to the smiling
face-not the smirk of deceit, but the

soul behind it.
Self-interest, as well as honorable
consideration for his patrons, should
impel the dealer to sell and push the
best goods obtainable.
Boys are afflicted with stonebruises
to prepare them for the lesser trials of
life. That's why the barefoot boy fig
ures so conspicuously in the worlds
affairs.
It's unfortunate that so many men
get vice and pleasure COMPOUNDED. Some
forego pleasure through fear of vice,
and others, worse still, pursue vice in
quest of pleasure.

PIEDMONT SUMMER SCHOOL.
Some Interesting Features for Primary
Teachers.

One of the most interesting features
Of the Piedmont Summer School to be
held in Greenwood this summer will be
a course in primary methods by Miss
Hattie S. Goldsmith of Greenville. Miss
Goldsmith has the reputation of being a
most efficient instructor of the little
folks. Her energy and enthusiasm in
this most interesting department of
school work is communicated to all who
come in reach of her influence.
MODEL SCHOOL.
A model class of a dozen or more six
year old children will be conducted in
connection with her work. Some of
these will be mere beginners and others
will be pupils who have had a year in
school. With this class Miss Goldsmith
will do actual school work under the OBJ
~servation of her pupil teachers, and
will perhaps give the latter an oppor-
tunity to try their hands, too, under
her guidance and friendly criticism.
Teaching, like all other fine arts, must
be learned by doing.
PRIMARY CHARTS.
Miss Goldsmith believes too, that sue
cess in teaching demands originality,
energy and resourcefulness. To nco
age these qualities among her student
teachers, she will have her class of
teachers make for themselves, with her
help, charts containing material for
Primary Reading and Spelling. These
inexpensive charts worked out by the
teachers themselves to fit their own
needs and environment, she considers
much more useful han the elaborate
and expensive charts so generally sold
by publishing firms.
HUGHES COURSE.
Mr.. Hughes is to spend the first week
at the school giving instructions in the
making of maps, globes, and the like,
for work in geography. Miss Gold
smith is to assist in this work, and to
carry on the constructive throughout
the four weeks of the school. These
two courses in primary " 'hods and il
