viii Not Live With Wife.

Little Rock. Ark, April 9.-Dr John
Alexander Dowie will never again live
with his wife This disclosure he made
this afternoon to a representative of the
Associated Press for whom he sent.
His final determnatio to separate from
Mrs Dowie was made after he had re-
ceived and read the Chicago papers of
last Friday. A story to this effect that
he inteded to establish n harem in his
Mexican colony which he ascribed TO
Mrs. Dowie and his son Gladstone caused
him great anguish.
How could they be so cruel? How
could they cause to be publish such
thing?" he said over and over again.
When he had regained his composure
he told Of his irrevocable decision never
to live with Mrs Dowie again.
"She is the cause of most of my trou-
ble" he reiterated. "She has spurred
on Vollva and the .thers until this
dreadful trouble came and my persecution
was complete.
For years ! tried TO shield her but
her strange conduct has now passed be-
yond the point OF human endurance.
Money and jealousy were at the bottom
of 1t all. She was incensed because
wanted to leave so much to Zion, but
God forgive her
II offered her 2i5 per cent OF the vast
estate. II should have satisfied her, for
1t would have provided amply for her
wants AS for her Jealousy who can ac-
count for that? ! only know before God
that my life has been pure and blame
less. The stories about polygamy are
more than cruel-they are shocking
Deacons Deeply Affected.
Deacons James Peters and John A.
Lewis were present during the interview
and both were deeply affected.

Poplar Bluff, Mo. April 9.-"1f 1t is
true that she said these things, then l
shall never live with her again" With
these words DR. John Alexander Dowie
Informed a representative of the Asso-
elated Press today that he intended to
separate from the woman who had for
thirty years been his wife. He spoke
earnestly and sorrowfully, but there was
a grimness of expression on the first
apostles face which made it evident that
he believed that the mother of his chill
dren had much to do with melting the
recent rebellion in Zion.
This climax in the domestic affairs of
DR.. Dowie caused little surprise to
Deacons Lewis and Peters. both of whom
were present during the interview. They
nodded approval to the sentiments ex-
pressed by their leader and Deacon Lewis
added that the world little knew of the
passed in recent years because of domestic
infeliclty.
For years he has shielded ner," the
deacon said, but recently her conduct
has been such as to render further for
bearance human lmposslbllity."
Looks Stronger and Better.
The doctor received the correspondent
in the compartment of his Pullman. The
day was hot and the state room exceed
ingly stuffy but the first apostle seemed
to suffer little from the unpleasantness
of the weather, and in fact looked
stronger and better than he has yet ap-
peared since crossing the border from
Mexico into the United States on his
journey back to Zion.

Pessimstic prophets sometimes sound
sage and logical, but the unreasoning
optimist who sees better things despite
argument outstrips them.
In the days OF Stephenson's early ex-
periments it was predicted that speed
of more than twelve miles an hour by
rail would be impracticable, if for no
other reason than that the human system
would not withstand travelling at a
higher rate OF speed,
In the early days of steamboats, it was
declared that transatlantic steam naviga-
tion would be impossible, mainly because
of the inability to provide room aboard
ship for the coal that would be necessary
for the voyage. The prophet had scarcely
done speaking when the news arrived
that ship had Just finished trip acros:
the Atlantic under steam.
So with transatlantic cables. Som'
promulgated the belief that they coule
never be laid because the density of tn,
water below a certain depth would be ST
great that the cable would not sink t.
the bottom of the ocean. All the wis,
folk regardless, however, the cabl
promptly descended to the ocean bed a
a depth of 16,4o4 feet, and within tn,
last year cable was sunk in the Pacif
ocean in the vicinity of the Lukin Island
at depth of 26.246 feet.

| The woman who studies the import
ance of dress very quickly discovers that
it does not necessarily require rich quail
ties or costly fabrics to give the magic
touch of style, but that this wonderful
! Transforming quality or essence is more
closely allied with the lines and the cut
of woman's clothes than with the ma
tcrials of which they are made.
Color and color combinations belong to
the artistic side of dress, likewise do
lustrous and soft finish textiles; yet, let
the weave and the colors be ever so
beautiful, if the lines of the waist be
skewgee and the skirt hang in zigzags
the dress will make the woman who
wears it carcature, and the labor spent
upon it worse than wasted.
Better twelve-cent lawn that is cor
rectly cut and daintily sewn than costly
silk whose every distorted line is lus-
trous, cleaning horror. The first essen
tial is we'll cut pattern, one cut after
a French model if possible, because the
lines of French pattern differ from the
ordinary type of pattern cut in this coun.
try as the lines of an ocean greyhound
differ from the lines of canal boat.
Best of all, French models are enchant-
ingly easy to fit OH every type of figure,
A good sewing machine is another es-
sential. Many who can machine fairly
well upon heavy fabrics seem, somehow,
to fail of success when sewing upon thin
materials. This is usually because they
neglect to adjust the machine to lighter
work. Always use finer thread and
finer needle and a much lighter tension

Supersttions Of Sailors

All sailors are superstitious, and the
legends of the sea are legion, ranging
from phantom ships to spectral lights
and suddenly cleaning from yardarms
and mastheads. That many of these leg
ends are very ancient may be proved BY
the fact that sea harpies are described
by Homer and Hesiod, while according
to Virgil they plundered Eneas during
rens, too, are of classic origin.
Weird, indeed, are the tales of haunt
ing spectres, fit to send ones nerves
a-shiyering after hearty supper, we'll
suited for Christmas-time ghost stories.
There are the four COLLINS of Dunter's
Ness, not ghosts, but evil water spirits,
who appear twice year, only III mid
winter, but bring bad luck in very short
time to the ship from which they are
sighted.
We must mention ADMINISTER, the
dreaded Ghost of the Cape, that used
to be seen in halo of cloud and mist
over Good Hope. and also the silent
man of Wexford Harbor, the wandering
soul of the Dutch skipper who lost his
smack on his way to Dublin some three
centuries ago.
Ghostly apparitions are not, however,
the only ones to be feared at sea- In the
case of St. Elmo's fire these apparitions
take the shape of spectral lights sud-
denly cleaning from yardarms or mast
heads. 1t was known by ancient nayi-
gators as Castor and Pollux-the best
omen if seen double. but signal danger
if seen single.
Jack has score of we'll known super
stitions. many of which are of very long
descent, such as the presence of figure
heads, the blessing of ships and the
crossing of the line" And it will be
remembered that the Prince and Prin-
cess of Wales both paid tribute to old
Neptune while on their journey to Aus
tralia.

What Dewey is Doing

What has become of Admiral George
Dewey, and what is he doing now?"
Taken all in all, there is perhaps no
man in the United States, in the service
of the government or out OF it, who is
in a more enviable position than Admiral
Dewey. Congress has given him the
rank, pay and allowances of an admiral
of the navy, reviving the rank for his
benefit. He is absolutely independent of
the Secretary of the Navy and of the
President of the United States
He cannot be retired and he cannot be
disciplined by reduction in rank or any
of the other usual means employed. The
place gives him an annual income of
$I5,5oo.
If he chose to do so, he could close
down his desk, go home, and never turn
his hand over in the way of work, either
for the navy or any one else and his
pay and allowances would go on as long
as he lives; but the admiral prefers TO
work and to work hard.
He is at the head of the navy general
board, charged with the duty of devils
ing general plans for improvement of the
navy, the management of the ships, the
handling of officers and men, and the
control of the great government ship
yards, Every day when he is not at sea
for the maneuvers he is at his desk in
his office or attending the meetings of
the board.
Admiral Dewey is i,uch loved and
much respected. He Is dapper little
fellow, not much more than five feet in
height. His clothes fit him like the naval
uniform, without crease or bag any
where.
They do say that the admiral's Chinese
valet has no less than twenty new suits
of clothes and ten pairs of shoes to take
care of at time The admiral is not
a dude, merely well groomed man with
out seeming to have any thought of his
personal appearance.
He has but one fad, if fad it may be
called, and that is his love for animals.
He mas one of the finest teams of driv-
ing horses in the city and also an ugly
looking English bulldog. The dog went
through the battle of Manila Bay with
Dewey, SO they are real bunkies.
When the admiral was making tour
of inspection of the fleet the dog went
along, and was allowed the run of a
vessel while his master was aboard. On
one ship the admiral returned from the
mems quarters just in time to encounter
the dog sailing in most hurried fashion
from the officers quarters with the toe
of an officers boot in hot pursuit,
Admiral Dewey was white with anger
and surprise. In second, when the
captain appeared, following the direction
of the toe of his boot. the admiral, con-
trolling himself as best he could, de-
manded:
"Sir, what do you mean by kicking
my dog in that manner?'
The captain came to swift salute,
and his face, it was noted, was as pale
and drawn with suppressed anger as was
that of the admiral
"Sir," he said. II would have kicked
that dog If he had been the personal
property of the Supreme Being; but. sir,
/ would not have kicked him, and did
not kick him, until he had chewed the
legs out of two SIS pairs of uniform
trousers and ruined de luxe edition Of
the Naval Regulations. as well as killed
the ships feline mascot"
Then they both laughed.

A WIFE. Reproach.

Admiral Caps, in an address to a
temperance society, told how drink had
once caused the downfall of a brave
soldier, In the course Of the sad story
lie said:
Sometimes after a debauch the man
would be repentant, humble. He would
promise his wife to do better. But, alas.
the years taught her the barrenness OF
all such promises.
"And one night, when he was getting
to be an old mana prematurely old
man, thin-limbed, stoop-shouldered. with
red-rimmed eyes-he said to his wife,
sadly:
you're a clever woman, Jenny-a
courageous, active, good woman. You
should have married a better man than
/ am, dear"
"She looked at him, and, thinking OF
what he once had been, she answered
in quiet voice:
"I did, James,"

Rockefeller Makes War onRepdles
Offers Twenty-Five Cents For Ever6
Snake Killed on His Pocantico

Estate.
John D. Rockefeller is looking for a
modern St. Patrick. He recently de-
clared war on the snakes that infest his
large estate at Pocantico Hills and
twenty-five cents is paid for every one
killed and brought to his superintendent.
The following notice was sent out a
short time ago:
II will pay twenty-five cents for each
snake killed on my estate. desire to
rid my land of these reptiles, and any
one may enter the war of determination.
JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER"
The war has begun, and the regiment
of determination consists of every small
boy in the neighborhood and many men
who come from miles around to earn
the quarters. The region of Buttermilk
Hill is about the widest in the county,
and here blacksnakes, copperheads and
garter snakes abound.
Mr.. Rockefeller always has been
deathly afraid of snakes. If he has oc-
casion to go to the Buttermilk Hill Sec
ton he always travels in carriage.
Mr.. Rockefeller also offers two dollars
for every dog killed on his estate. Some
valuable dogs were killed last winter and
he had some trouble with his neighbors.
William Rockefeller offered twenty
Ave cents for all snakes killed on his
place for several years, and now it is
free of the reptiles.

Long Staple Cotton In 0conee.

Editors Keowee Courier: am having
many inquiries about the long staple
cotton / sold for 13t cents per pound,
when short staple cotton sold for IL
cents that day. will give you the fol-
lowing statement for publications:
1t is the "Pelier Variety" The staple
is long and fine, very prolific, all the
bolls maturing and opening. In 1904 1
planted five acres and made five bales
Planted the first days of May. In 1905 /
planted four acres and made six bales
Planted about one-half the middle of
April and the other half the last days of
April. A renter planted five acres and
made four bales. 1 sold the fifteen bales
to w. E. Mason at Westminster for 1871
cents per pound. Bales averaged 436
pounds. Mr.. Mason shipped this cotton
} to Charleston, whore he could sell it for
"a better price. l expect to plant twenty
lacres of this cotton this year, as it pro-
duces as much lint to the acre as any
short variety have ever raised.
