No WORSE OFF THAN OTHERs.-The
height of shiftlessness eliminated in
bill" Parkinson, a disreputable cit
izen OF a village in central Massa-
chusetts. The village improvement
society, which had labored long to
make the place attractive, could do
nothing with Bill, whose house was
a blot of dirty shingles on the main
street.
Little streams Of water had worn
gullies In the sidewalk, or the place
where the sidwalk should have been.
Bill did not take the trouble to fill
them, as he might have done with a
few shovelfuls Of earth.
One day as he was sitting on pile
Of wood in his back yard, stranger
came putting through the unmowed
weeds, rubbing his side and brushing
the dust from his clothes.
81 say" he cried, do you own this
placer"
well, mostly" said Bill, frankly,
"excep' the mortgage"
"well. why don't you fix those holes
in your sidewalk? 1 nearly broke my
neck!"
Sorry" said Bill. (which hole was
it?"
(Which hole! Why, it was that one
by the gate!"
Funny" observed Bill, reflectively,
pulling piece OF bark off the slab he
was sitting on and chewed it for a
moment. Lots o. people we fell out
there, but 1 don't remember any one
complainin' OF 1t before"

PREsUMPTUoUs ToURIsTs.-Rear Ad-
miral Melville was praising the turbine
engines that he had been studying in
Europe Westminster Abbey in some
way thrust itself into the conversation,
and the noted sailor, ceasing his tech
nical discussion of turbines, said,
Westminster Abbey is a grand old
place for everything except prayer.
They say that a devout American Wis
tied it one day, and after he had looked
at all the tombs and inscriptions, he
knelt on the stone pavement and bow
ed his head.
"A verger, frowning, tiptoed up to
him. You can't pray here he said.
1.-The American rose in confusion.
Can't pray in the Abbey?' he exclaim-
ed.
mo said the verger; If 1 was to
allow 1t once, we should have 'em
praying all over the place
Near Kidderminster," continued Ad-
picturesque church, the show Of the
country. 1t is only a show church,
though; public services are no longer
held in it. Well, one day, struck with
the impressive beauty of the place, a
tourist said to the sexton, I suppose
there are some people who use this
church for private prayers?'
THE sexton answered, fiercely, I
ketched two Of 'em at it once"

hand of Mohammed, which is pointed
out high up on the wall of that once

significance better than we had a
first sight.
Mohammed H., after advancing
his outposts gradually and stealthily
had finally, as If in a night, crossed
the Bosphorus from Asia and raised
his forts on the European side o.
the stream. Just the day before, OF
a trip up the Bosphorus, we had seel
the ruins Of those Notifications.
The rulers of the city had protested
in vain against this encroachment
When the Moslems finally attacked
the city the Christians fed in terro

firmly believed, promised that thi
sanctuary was absolutely safe.
Mohammed proved the fallacy o
their trust by breaking down th'
doors, numbering those who hat

children-so many Of them that, final

JUST WHAT THEY WERE.-Writing
on the early days of California's pros
perity, Mr.. H. A. Vachell says, 'The
outward and visible sign of this
amazing prosperity was most mani
fest in the houses (they were always
spoken of as residences), which like
Aladdin's palace. seemed to be built
and furnished in single night.
ION one occasion I was in a Pull
man car, and we were passing through
a valley dotted with most unsightly
houses-ramshackle buildings, for
the most part, each an amalgam of
half a dozen styles of architecture,
and each obviously built for show.
"What are they? asked an old
Scotchman, who was of the party.
They are private residences re-
piled an American proudly. Yes
sir, we're passing through Paradise
Park. Six months ago, sir, this tract
was a bowling desert of cactus and
sage-brush.'
"Eh, eh-h-h? Ye surprise me,
Private residences, ye say?'
"'Yes, sir. What did you take
them for?'
THE old Scotchman answered So
berly: I was of the opinion that
they were lunatic asylums.'
"a big fellow, evidently a cattle
man from Arizona. burst into loud
laughter.
you've hit it! he exclaimed.
That's just exactly what they air. "

FAITHFUL TO THE LAsT.-In many
is a permanent institution. He enters
the service of a family when he is a
boy, sticks to his place, and resigns
only when the infirmities of age are
upon him. Naturally he grows in time
to claim as rights what were at first
granted him as favors, and if he is op-
posed he asserts himself with a spirit
of independence. An English paper
tells a story illustrative Of this.
A lady's coachman-a crusty old
fellow who had been in the service of
the family in her fathers time-gave
her great trouble and annoyance on
several occasions by not carrying out
her instructions. At length his con-
duct became unbearable. and she de-
termined to dismiss him. Calling him
into her presence, she said with as
much asperity as she could command;
Il cannot stand this any longer. John
You must look out for another situa-
ton. You will leave my service al
the end Of the month"
The old servant looked at her in
amusement for a minute, and then the
characteristic loyalty" came to the
service.

TAKING HIM AT HIS WoRD.-The late
Joe Jefferson in his biography relates
probably the last jest of Artemus
Ward. When the famous wit lay dy-
ing at Southampton, he was attended
by his devoted friend, Tom Robertson,
the author of Caste" who was also a
friend of Jefferson.
Just before Wards death" writes
Mr.. Jefferson. Robertson poured out
some medicine in a glass, and offered
il to his friend.
Ward said, My dear Tom, can't
take that dreadful stuff
"'Come, come said Robertson, urg-
ing him to swallow the nauseous drug,
there's a good fellow. Do, now, for my
sake. You know would do anything
for you
Would you?' said Ward, feebly, as
he stretched out his hand to grasp his
friends. perhaps for the last time.
II would indeed said Robertson.
Then you take it, said Ward.
THE humorist passed away few
hours later"

Gastonia Gazette, August Z: Mary
L., the fifteen months old daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. John Rhodes of the
Avon died Saturday night and was
buried at Shiloh Sunday afternoon
at five o'clock .... There was a big
day at Hardin Saturday. The occa-
sion was a picnic and a jolly good
time for everybody. There were
speeches by Hon. L. M. Hoffman and
Rev. Cornelius Miller of Dallas, Rev.
E. L. Balm of Gastonia, and Rev. j.
w Moore of Greensboro. The exer-
cises were interspersed with music
| by the Hardin cornet band. The
grand picnic dinner was free for ev-
erybody. and good things to eat were
plentiful. All kinds of refreshments
were served on the grounds. A large
crowd was present. The farm of
forty acres. known as the Neil John
son place was bought from Mr.. Mac
Bradley yesterday by Mr.. Jno. F.
Davis. This is located about a mile
beyond the Ozark. The price paid
was about $205O an acre. .... Miss
Nettie, the thirteen year old daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. j. E. HuffstetleI
of Union, died Sunday morning al
III o'clock after an illness of typhoid
fever. The funeral was held yester-
| day at the Union Presbyterian
church. the services being conducted
by Rev. G. A. Sparrow. The death
of their bright and promising young
daughter is a distressing bereavement
in the household of these devoted
parents and brings to them the deep
est sympathy of their friends. ....
What the editors leave in their ink
bottles, and pigeon holes, and waste
baskets, would make a big book and
they print of their own stuff and OF
the contributions of correspondents
should occasionally give offense, the
offended person should consider that
he would be a great deal madder il
he had known how much the editor
left in the ink bottle or cut out OF
the offending correspondence. As
the Concord Times, or someone else
so we'll says, the man who gets mad
at what the newspaper says about
him should give thanks three times
day for what the paper knows
about him and doesn't say.
