Shores Of a Grand Duke.

from the new IOfk ITlDune.
At well attended premiere at the
Theater Francois. writes the "Cris de
Paris the following occurred recently
Oppressive silence. Pathetic scene. All
eyes filling with tears. All of a sudden
there comes from the box at the right Of
the stage the sound of snoring, powerful
snoring, a veritable roll of drums, a rum
bling Of thunder that silences the players
and terrifies the spectators. 1t is the Grand
Duke Vladimir, who. with his hands folded,
is reclining at full length and sleeping the
sleep of the just. Poor fellow! We must
not be offended at this performance. He is
exhausted. From early morning he has
been on his feet. He has rambled through
Paris In all directions. He had seen the
sights, tried two automobiles, been shop
ping in some fifteen stores. breakfasted in
a famous restaurant, tried hirdiautomo-
bile, gone to the races appeared lii the Bots
de Boulogne. paid few visits, promenaded
on the boulevard, appeared for a moment
in the Cercle repaired home to change his
dress, dined at an elegant restaurant-then
to the theater. After the theater, supper
and you know how grand dukes sup. And
so It goes every day so long as he stays in
Paris. And under these circumstances we
must really excuse him his nap ., the The
alter Francois"

From the HOUSTON POST.
The world is full of women who can amise
the ordinary man. They can sing dance or
recite to him; can paint, write, or decorate
in a manner most pleasing, but the poor
man often goes begging for woman who
can sew On buttons or mend his clothes
who can cook his food with economy and
flavor to his taste.-San Augustine Vidette
Miss Myrtle Loggins. the charming editor
Of the Vidette, can make the average man
out hunting for wife imagine he is being
entertained by an angel, whether he does
his counting in the kitchen or in the parlor
Those east Texas girls have a wonderful
knack for flavoring mans life to suit his
TASTE whether he be rich or poor.

Moonshiners' Warning.
From the Greer Observer.


Monday night Hog Back mountain pre-
scented a phenomenon that none Of Greer's
most knowing could satisfactorily explain.
On the side of the well known knob which
can plainly be seen from Greer burned for
hours q V-shaped fire. The hollow of the
was dark and only the edges We're
afame. It burned softly and steadily;
the fringes of the massive rock seemed
lighted by a thousand internal candles.
Some thought the strange fire was warn
ing from heaven to the moonshiners.
Somewhere near the base Of this noun
tain of poetic name lies the Dark Corner
Of Greenville and Spartanburg counties.
The moonshiners have their home here,
and here they distil the vile stuff that is
meaner than bitter herbs and deadlier
than the serpent's bite. The hands of the
government are agains. the Illicit business
of these of the Dark Corner. and
some say that this volcanic exhibition was
a sign manual that high heaven is against
it, too. In letters of liquid flame may it
not be telling these hayward sons Of the
hills who deal so much with the worm.
the still and fhe fire. of the worm that
dieth not, of the still that's filled with
birthstone whose fires are never quenched.

WASTE IN CHARITY.

Result With Maximum Endeayor.
From the New York Tribune.
An entertainment for the benefit Of a we'll
known and deserving charitable institution
was arranged recently by a committee Of
women having the assistance OF several
men whose years Of experience in matters
OF that kind was considered valuable capi-
tai with which to begin the business. The
use of the word business in connection
with such an enterprise destroys all the ro-
nance and the sentiment. but the methods
which were employed merit no other desfg-
nation. Systematic solicitation of contribu-
tons through committees Of men, women
and children brought q large sum Of money
to the treasury of the committee. and the
sale Of contributed merchandise, useful and
ornamental, swelled the amount realized to
notable proportions! The affair was a
grand success" and everybody connected
with 1t had good time and received also
the thanks Of the institution for the bene-
Mt Of which the enterprise had been launch
ed. Finally, when all was over. the mate
rial part OF the business appeared in the
form Of bills from heartless tradesmen, mu-
sicians, decorators and others who had
helped toward the grand success" Bills
had to be paid and when this had been
done comparatively small amount was left
to be turned into the treasury Of the strug-
Cling institution.
The case in question is not an isolated
one. especially at this season OF the year.
when bazaars balls. fairs and other enter
tainments are arranged In the name Of
charity by nearly every element in the
community. 1t would be uncharitable to dis
courage the persons who arrange and man.
age these enterprises for the benefit of
churches schools. hospitals. asylums and
other worthy institutions, but the protests
Of the people who object to having a large
part of their contribution go toward music,
decorations and a good time for the work
ers" should not pass unheeded.
writer in a Chicago paper, referring to
a similar case in that city. says that "a
minimum Of good was achieved through a
maximum of endeavor," and expresses the
opinion that Husbands and fathers would
gladly submit to reasonable taxation and
Danish the dStracting element of feminine
endeavor from the daily life" If the fairs
and bazaars are, as some people maintain
economic failures, if they cannot be con-
Quoted without wasting funds. the advent
of organizations like the one recently in
stituted in this city is timely. That is a
federation of contributors to communal in
situations. The contributor may designate
where and how his gift shall be applied, he
knows that his wishes will be carried out
that no part of his contribution will be
wasted in useless display or for the pleas
ure of managers and that money making
schemes the success of which are depend
ent on the expenditure Of large part of
the fund given will be discouraged.

White Horses in War.

Death on q pale horse" may be a con-
di;.oh OF warfare as well as a CHASTITY
smile. in the view of the general stan,
which has decreed that the mounts of the
cavalry and artillery hereafter shall be OF
any other color than white or gray. With
rifles that range up to 1890 yards. the
risk Of riders of white or gray horses has
undergone terrible increase. compared
with those of bays and blacks. A pure
white horse is one of those shining marks
that death is said to love. Napoleon was
an exception to the rule, Tor ne loved white
Arabs, and seldom rode any other steed;
but he lived in the days when the normal
musketry range was 200 yards or there
abouts The figure of death on q pale
horse" is reinforced In Its strength by the
action of the general staff. and will retain
its favor.
