all the world is seeking rest and
r~ecuperation = comes along the
elang of bells upon a half-dozen,
half-staryed cows, seeking their
scanty subsistence upon the green
patches along the wayside. A
puny, restless child, enervated by
the heat of the day and fretful
from illness, has just been hushed
to repose, when clang! clang!
dingle, dingle! awaken the echoes
and murder sleep. 1t is out
rageous, and though the owners of
the offending cattle boast the
name of Christian and worship at
every convocation, with voices re-
sonant as fog-horns, and phylac-
teries broad as the western prai-
ries, l wouldn't like to stand in
their shoes on Judgment Day! An
inferno of cowbells must be pro-
vided for them if there be justice
in the Final Decree.
Quite a little ripple was caused
in Greenville last Saturday eve
ming, by Sheriff Barrow and his
deputies making a raid on the
stone building of j. D. Cowan.
Mr.. Cowan was already under
bond for his appearance at the
August term of court to answer
seventeen charges for violations
of the local option law. 1t was
talked about town for several days
that a new supply of whiskey and
beer had been unloaded into the
spacious stone building. But no
definite information could be had
by Prosecuting Attorney Frank
Meadors till Saturday morning,
when he at once authorized Sheriff
Barrows to seize all intoxicating
liquors and the selling device,
which was made like a half bushel
with two partitions crossing in the
center, dividing the round box
into four cavities. This device
was placed in a hole in the wall,
which it just filed. A rod passing
down through this wheel served as
a pivot on which it turned. The
customers stood on one side of the
wall and placed the price of the
drink desired into one of the
cavities or partitions of the wheel
and givingit a turn the cash passed
through the wall. The person on
the other, side of the wall would
take out the money and place the
drinks in the same place, and a
half turn of the wheel would cause
it to pass through to the customer.
When Sheriff Barrow entered the
enclosure, which is inside the
stone building, he found several
customers within, one of whom
claimed that he had just deposited
75c for which he had gotten no re-
turns. The sheriff also found Mr..
Cowan's 16 year old boy on the
inside of the enclosure operating
the wheel or selling device. This
enclosure was found to be wholly
within the building, surrounded
by four walls which did not reach
the ceiling. All the goods found,
seized and placed in the lower
part of the Jail for safe keeping
consists of 266 pint bottles of
whiskey on shelves and two bar
rels of whiskey in bottles, five
cases of beer on ice, sixteen cases
of beer not ON ice. The beer was
found to be in soda bottles. The
brands, Sweet Rye whiskey, Har-
rison Rye whiskey and Rock and
Rye whiskey were found on the
bottles -GreenUiLIe San.

An Important Post.

When Sir Henry Campbell-Ban-
herman was secretary of state for
war Queen Victoria wished to make
the car an honorary colonel of a
British regiment. The prime min
lister, as he now is, demurred on
the grounds that all other European
sOvereigns would expect to receive
similar honors. But as the queen
was willing that even this should
be the car was made colonel of the
Scots Greys. Naturally the appoint
ment caused some excitement in
the regiment. One subaltern was
overheard saying to his servant,
Donald, the emperor of Russia
has been made colonel of the regi-
ment." '1ndade," was his reply,
its vera gram thing for him,
but will he be able to keep bath
places ?"

In Fear of Bombs,

There are many disadvantages in
being a Russian minister in these
revolutionary days in view of the
prediction manifested by bomb
throwers for officials of high rank.
According to st. Petersburg papers,
the minister of justice, Shealowitoff,
on his arrival at the Baltic station
wanted to drive to the ministry.
The first driver whom he addressed
refused point blank. Another, how
ever, yielded to the minister's per-
suasions, but he had not driven far
when he changed his mind and reso-
lutely refused to drive the minister
to his destination. The statesman
had to get out of the drosky and
continue his way afoot. A few
days ago each of the two drivers
was fined in court.

The National Tree of China.

The tungshu, or wood oil, tree is
worthily named the national tree of
China. 1t is stately in appearance,
with smooth, green bark and wide
spreading branches, affording a fine
shade. 1t belongs to the euphor-
biacae, or spurge, family, of which
the castor oil plant is member. 1t
bears fruit as large as a small
orange. Each nut contains three
triangular seeds, similar to small
Brazil nuts. The oil is pressed
from these seeds, and the refuse is
used as a fertilizer. The oil is used
principally for polishing woodwork
and dressing leather. Considerable
quantities are exported. The wood
of the tungshu is used for making
musical instruments, fine boxes and
the framework of small houses. 1t
is free from the ravages of insects.

The Jointed Snake.

The hoary fable of the joint
snake owes its origin to the pc
culiar facility with which the liz
ard when seized breaks off its tail
and escapes, leaving that member in
the captor's hand. In other words,
the joint snake is not a snake at all,
but a lizard. 1t is the slow worm,
known to scientists as Angus fra
gillis, whose long and slim body and
almost invisible legs make it easily
mistaken for a snake, that by its
invariable tendency to snap off its
tail in the spasms of capture has
given us the story of a jointed
reptile. But this creature does not
reclaim its discarded appendage
again. 1t simply grows another in
its place.-Housekeepcr.

way" "make way for your betters,"
and so forth. "Skiddoo' seems to
be another form OF Sskedaddle,"
which is an old, familiar slang word
for precipitate retreat 1t is prob
ably college slang, since it is de-
rived from the Greek word "skeda-
zein," which means run away. The
figures "23' are telegraphic signal
or abbreviation, which means that
messages marked with II need not
be hurried through If there is more
important matter to occupy the
wires. A "23" message, therefore,
is one that has to surrender the
right Of way if there are others that
must be rushed through without de-
lay. In other words, It has to get
out of the way of Its betters.-St.

Proud of His Father.

The four-year-old son of a west

of the Importance of his father.
The latter tells how on one occa-
sion in their western home the lad

some chance there were engraved
side by side portraits of the pres
ident and the senator mentioned
When the lad caught sight of his
fathers features he broke into a
broad smile. ''That's a good pic
ture of you, daddy" said he. every
good, my son." "Who's the man
next to you, daddy" asked the
youngster. "Why, my son." ex-
claimed the senator, "don't you
know? That is one of the greatest
men of the world, man more ad,
mirable and more powerful thar
any king. That, my son, is Presi
dent Roosevelt" The lad again
looked at the picture of the presi
dent; then, after a thoughtful
pause, he observed, "Say, daddy, the
people in the east will be awful
proud when they see the PRESIDENT
picture next to yours, won't they? p

Deserved His Fate,

Miss Marie Shedlock is famous
for the invention of a new and de-
lightful type of children's enter
tainment. Dressed as a fairy, Miss
Shedlock recounts to children with
lelicacy and power the lovely tales
Of Hans Andersen.
She keeps her wits about her in
her entertainments, and children,
no matter how odd their questions
may be, can never stump her. She
s always ready with an apt reply.
Entertaining children's party at
a certain millionaire's house in
New York, Miss Shedlock happened
TO employ the old proverb, "The
>e&ly bfN catches the worm."
7 \ little Ky questioned the prov
srb promptly. -

all. He was just getting home"

Plant Memory.

Plant memory is a problem for
the inquisitive botanist- In 1901
a plant allied to the squash and
pumpkin was taken 10 New York
from the desert of Sonora, in Mexi-
co, and since then it has been kept,
without watering, IN a strange eli
mate 5000 miles from home. Dur
ing the six weeks OF rain in the
desert the plant grows its leaves
and flowers and perfects its seed.
Then it dries up and leaves only a
water filed gourd, which a thick,
hard shell seals against animals and
evaporation. The transplanted spec
linen still remembers the rainy sea-
son of six weeks 1t wakes, sends
out rootlets, stems and leaves, and
then dries up again until the follow
ing year.

4 TRAGIC JOKE.

Russian papers report the tragic
ending Of Stoke" played the other
day at 50. Petersburg on former
officer of the army. The retired
Captain i'aigin received one day
an anonymous letter asking him to
hand over 500 rubles to a messenger
of the revolutionary committee,
who would call on him. Letters of
this kind have gradually become so
common in st. Petersburg that peo-
pie have ceased to be scared by
them. Captain Taigin threw the
letter into his wastebasket. A few
days passed and a second letter pr
rived, this time with the threat
that the revolutionists would call to
get the money by>force. Again the
captain attached no Importance to
the matter, but deemed it sufficient
to instruct his woman servant not
to admit any unknown person to the
house. A few days ago at noon the
doorbell rang. Upon the question
of the servant who it was the voice
of an old friend made answer, but
when she opened the door two other
men with masked faces forced them
selves with him into the house and
at once dashed upon the woman.
She called for help. The captain
hurried to her assistance, and the
disguised men attacked him. He
succeeded in disengaging himself
and rushed toward the exit, but
dropped dead at the threshold. The
excitement had brought on apo
plexy. The supposed revolutionists
were the captains best friends, who
only had intended to play harm
less joke.

miles of metallic connection under

cost of which has been about 81 900
mile. A quarter Of billion is a

FOR The LITTLE ONES.
Directions For Making Smoke Ring
Boy


A smoke box means considerable
fun for the boys and girls who
try it.
Make a box out of cardboard or
thick paper as nearly perfect cube
in shape as possible, say three inches
in measurement.
Next lay a dime or quarter on one
side of it and trace the outline with
lead pencil. Then cut out hole
along the line.
Then light wax taper or candle
and hold it under the hole so that
the smoke will fill the box.
Now, if you hold the box in one
hand, hole uppermost, and tap the
bottom, YOU can cause tiny but per-
feet and beautiful rings of smoke to
shoot out into the air.
Some boys have succeeded in
making a hundred rings from one
boxful Of smoke.
See how many you can produce.
