GOT RID OF THE DEVILS.
Chinese Sailors Used Fireworks to
Evict Unwelcome Visitors.

New York-A story OF fight with
devils and their conquest by It's crew
of AZ Cinnamon was brought to this
port by the steamship Enroll from
Hong-Kong.
"Debbils allie gone down side one
time, chop, chop" said Wan Coon,
bos'n, in telling of the conflict.
The Enroll shipped her crew of Mon
golians in Hong-Kong and set out for
Yokohama. On the night of August 4
there suddenly came a dazzling rain
of meteors, lasting 16 seconds. In the
meteoric display the moon entered up
on a total eclipse. Wan Coon and his
men were stricken motionless with
fear. But when they found their
moon had been devoured by big
devil fear was galvanized into frenzy.
Finally, in answer to their petitions.
the devil dsg0rged the moon. After
that the men were quiet, but mistrust-
full. There was not the slightest doubt
that a great many minor devils re.
NAMED on board even after two nights
spent in chasing them with hand
spikes, capstan bars and chunks Of
coal.
When the Enroll made Yokohama
every man went to the captain and
demanded all the pay due. At night
fall a delegation of sailors returned
with several great bundles of fire
works. -.
Wan Coon told the captain there
was going to be such a pyrotechnical
eviction of devils as the ports Of all
the seven seas had seldom witnessed.
It was even so, and at the conclusion
of the display the bos'n announced
that not a devil was left

HMind Your P's and Q's."

There are two accounts OF the origin
of the expression Mind your Ps and
Q's." According to one, it arose from
the early method used in public houses
of charging customers for the amount
of beer they had consumed on credit.
P stood for pint, Q for quart, and as
the scores were settled weekly, it was
necessary for the topper to watch his
P's and Q's.
According to the other story, the
phrase owes its origin to the difficulty
the printers devil has experienced
from time immemorial in distinguish
ing between the lower case P's and Qs
of the Roman type The similarity
between the two letters is so great,
particularly when they are reversed
as in the process Of distributing, that

Brady was, as he says. "a little Mick"
with no home but the streets, and
Andy" Burke had the same home.
They were friends. Sent as homeless
boys to an institution on the island"
they heard an official read letter
from another waif who had been sent
to Indiana. The letter told of the won

as to whether the hunt was the excuse
for adding fur coat to his wardrobe
or vice versa, thus giving rise to an
other impenetrable historical mys-
terry. AS about the same time a hand
some wardrobe, price $280,OOO, was in
troduced into the counts apartments
II NAV be surmised that this fact will
be seized upon as the key to the mys-

show conclusively that the coat was
bought to ornament the costly piece

rount Boni De Castellane has sQuan-

Notwithstanding the ill-timed boast

The French count was too much of a

convicts attempted to escape Mon
day from the Sumter county chain
gang. The men, most of them me-
groes, sprang upon two of the three
armed guards, whom they caught
unawares. They wrestled from
them their weapons, thus rendering
them incapable of interfering with
their escape. The remaining guard
offered no opposition. Instead, he
turned and ran, the convicts deriding
him as he ran. The escaping guard
dropped his gun in his flight. AS

of the guard who had fled, caught it
up and pursued the escaping con-
victs. He overlook them before
they had separated, covered the
game with his weapon, and marched
them back to camp. Arriving there
and keeping them covered with his
gun, he made them chain one another.
Ten of the escaping prisoners he Sc
cured in this way and the number
that got away was thus reduced to
four. The four who escaped had all
gotten away recently and been re-.
captured at cost of $500 to the
county in rewards.

Fire Losses on Raw Cotton.

Slovenly methods of packing and
shipping cotton were criticised by
Benjamin Richards in an address be.
fore the National Fire Protective
Association in New York last week
Mr.. Richards said that the packing
of cotton in loosely woven jute bags
is a frequent cause of fire.
"Without exception" he said,
"there is no greater fire losses sus.
tanned to-day on any merchandise,
whether oils, naptha, celluloid, gun
powder or dynamite, while in the
hands of the producers than there is
on the cotton crop of the United
States. For the nineteen years pre-
ceding 1908 the fire losses on raw
cotton alone, not including cotton in
gin houses or mills, nor the damage
to the building in which the cotton
was stored, amounts to over $21,-
100000.
