THE TOY ARTIST.
a Mechanical Figure Which Displays
Great Ingenuity.

The mechanical toy shown In the
accompanying illustration is one OF
the most original and ingenious
things OF its kind that have recently
appeared. Within the base upon
which the artist" and his easel are
placed and Immediately below the fig
ure, is n small pinion operated by a
worm at the end of the crankshaft
that is seen projecting through the
side of the base. The pinion, which
rotates in horizontal plane, is pro-
vided with a couple of pins upon
which is placed one Of the sets Of re-
movable cams which accompany the
toy. The cams are double, being pro-
vided with two separate peripheral
edges, and each edge is engaged by
the short arm of pair of levers,
as shown in the engraving.
The upper lever attaches at the
end of its long arm to vertical
shaft. which passes up through the
body of the figure and is pivotally at.
tached to its right arm at the shout.

caBo News, the rotation OF the cam
causes a vertical up and down move

ments.
1t is evident that, by giving the
proper relative contours to the two
edges of the cam. the arm, with the
pencil that it carries, may be made
to trace any desired line upon the
paper, either vertical or horizontal,
by the action of the first or the Sec
ond cam, or diagonal or curved, by
the joint operation of the two. Each

vided with the toy, is cut so that it's

Heavy Penalty for Murder.

Wrong-doers in China bring misfor-
tune on all their relatives. Not long
ago a man murdered Gov. An Min OF
Anthui. The murderer himself was
caught and beheaded and now the
law demands that his female relatives
16 years old and above be decapitated
and that his male relatives younger
than that be compelled to serve in
the imperial palace The ancestral
graves of the rebel are also to suffer
The tombs are to be RACED and de-
spoiled and the bones and dust within
scattered to the four winds. 1t is
hoped. however. that the authorities
will not exact the full penalty of the
law.

THE STORY.

VIZ I'TH fierce determination David
w scaled the letter he had been in.
scribing on the roll OF parchment be-
fore him, and turning sharply upon
the man standing near, he said
Deliver this into the hand of Joab.
captain of the hosts OF Israel Delay
not"
There was harshness almost of en-.
nifty in the voice of the king as he
spoke, so much in contrast to the ia
miliar patronizing manner in when
he had greeted him on the day before
that Uriah started visibly. He hest
tated as he placed the parchment
within the folds of his robe, and the
king, in evident irritation, said.
sharply:
That Is ALL"
With soldierly dignity and preci.
sion Uriah bowed low and strobe
from the apartment without a word.
He had wondered at the strange In
terest and solcitude which the king
had manifested in him since his com.
ing In answer to the summons several
days before, and now he wondered
even more at the savageness and surli-
ness so plainly manifest toward him.
But he was glad TO be of and away,
and he soon forgot the matter In
his esgerness TO be back in the thick
Of the fight against the stronghold Of
Rahbah.
Tie king, on the other hand, sat
sile.v and alone, his face distorted
and beclouded by the evil passions
that famed within.

SER MoNETTE.


Sinful indulgence In an idle
} hour made David a murderer.
Little did he think on that first
night Of pleasure to what awful
depths his sin was TO lead him.
But the pathway Of sin leads
downward and ever farther and
farther away from God. One
wrong step is taken In the de-
) sire to crafty some unhoIy long.
, ing and then a dozen more,
steps are found necessary in the
attempt to cover up che traces
OF the sinful conduct.
The progressivenes Of sin 10
one Of its most striking char.
acteristics. No one starts out
with the purpose, or even ex-
pectation, Of becoming a muir
derer. The boy with his first
glass, or his first night out
in questionable companionship,
does not stop to think what the
full fruition OF his first mis-.
step may be. The man who
|, takes his first fling at specula-
5 ton does not see himself an en-
} bezzIer behind the bars, dis
grace and suffering brought
upon his innocent wife and chill
!, dren. He begins with the ex-
, pectation of winning and ac-
curing riches quickly. Perhaps
he does win and Is tempted to
. go in more heavily. He loses,
and then borrows that he may
, speculate further to retrieve his
losses. Again he loses. He
must have money to pay the
, loan. He hetrays his trust and
takes the money he needs from
: his employer, or from funds en-.
trusted to his care, expecting to
pay il back as soon as his luck
) turns, as he says. And 60 It
} goes on, step at time, until
at last he is ruined beyond the
( hope of recovery. And so It Is
; with any sinful course upon
7 which one may enter.
IL 1t takes 20 lies to cover UP

Generous Donation to Monument Fund.

Ardmore, 1. t., June ID, 19O7.-S. K.
Dendy, Walhalla, s. C.-Dear Sir: Yours
of the 10th instant. asking for q contri-
button of $5 to help erect a monument in
memory of the soldiers who wore the
gray from Oconee county, is received.
1t gives me pleasure to contribute the
amount asked for. In doing 40, I not
only feel that am giving it to the brave
men who went forth 30 proudlJ wee ing
the gray, and who fought 80 nobly, and
then finally gave up their lives to lost
cause, but feel that am contributing
to monument In memory of my father,
who left Oconee county as a soldier, and
who lost his life in Richmond, and now
sleeps in an unknown grave.
So give this little contribution with
glad and willing heart to those who are
"under The sod and dew, waiting the
Judgment Day." hoping that it will be
added unto by other sons of the Confede-
racy who feel warm spot in their hearts
for the Southland, and that magnifi-
cent monument will be erected that will
be the pride of generations yet to come.
Very truly yours,
M. L. Alexander.

ton gladly and cordially receive Mr.. AL

sociation, and make him life member
