At Greenville Ike Leslie and Bob
Leslie, brothers, aged respectively
eleven and eight years were arrest
ed late Sunday afternoon for bur
Slarizing Barr's department store.
The police caught the two boys
coming out Of the store with money
and goods. They had with them
complete burglars kit. compris-
ing among other things steel saw,
a bunch of about fifty skeleton keys
and other implements.
When they were caught they
readily confessed to having bur-
slarized Cobb's five and ten cents
store EARLIER in the day.
They confessed to burglarizing
John D. Collins week ago and
soon after that the furniture store
of Busbee and Wood.
It is the third time these boys
have been arrested on similar
charges. Before the Law has been
quite lenient with them on account
OF their extreme ages. but this time
they will probably get heavy sen
tences.

Henry's Cure for Penry's Snore.
Henry and Penric!l called by their

Henry and Penric!l called by their
tymates Henry and Penry," were
IN brothers and slent together In
trundle bed They were exactly
ike in every respect except that
oenry would sleep with lis mouth
open Owing to this, Penry had the
lad habit Of snoring and kept Henry
wake
Henry tried every plan that he
,rld devise to break Penry from
:oring. He used to wake him up to
make him close his mouth, but Pen.
y would simply turn sleepiiy over
and begin snoring again.
Penry's snoring became worse and
worse, and Henry was almost in de-
spair. He could not sleep at all with
his brothr's awful noises going on.
At last one night as Penry lay
upon his back snoring loudly
through a wide-open mouth, Henry
had an idea.
He leaned over the side Of the
bed. picked up Penry's buckled gar
ter that lay upon the floor. pulled it
around under Penry's chin and over
the top Of his head, and then drew
the cover up to sleep in peace
The mother of the twins was
greatly surprised rext morning to
find both boys sound asleep, Penry
with a piece Of elastic around his
head which kept his face tightly
closed.
And the best of 1t is, that it did
really and truly cure Penny of snor-
Ing.

Anecdote of Mark Twain.

The following is ascribed to our old
friend Mark:
Well. young man, III give you a
little advice. and to illustrate my
point I'll tell you little story. and
you can draw the moral to suit your
self went TO church once and the
minister preached sermon about the
poor heathen. The sermon touched
me. and | thought I'd just give that
hundred dollars had in my pocket
toward helping the poor heathen But
the minister kept on preaching. and
my enthusiasm began to drop. So did
my hundred dollars. twenty-five dol
lars at a time. until there was nothing
left for the poor heathen! And the
minister was still talking. and by the
time the plate was passed had to
sneak nickel from it to get even.

Transmission Of Facial Characteristics
1t would appear that the transmits

definite law, that is to say, that an

ance are more often than not trans

Of family who generally do not ex-
hibit the same characteristics to the

Concerning Railways.


A railway locomotive has an aver
age life of fifteen years. and an earn
ing capacity of s60.0n0.
That disused railway tunnels need
not be drug in the market is evil
denced by the extensive and highly
successful culture of mushrooms car
ried on in one OF those sombre pas
sages in the vicinity of Edinburgh.
It is a peculiarly of Russian rail-
ways that their stations, are generally
two miles distant from the smaller
towns and villages which they serve.
This is said to he. on account of the
danger of fire. the houses in small
places generally being thatched with
straw.

It is rather surprising to learn that
we can walk five miles while the
Swiss pedestrian is covering one. yet
upon closer examination there doesn't
seem to be so much reason for self
congratulation as at first appears. In
deed, a ten-mile constitutional, ac-
cording to the Swiss standard. might
daunt the most enthusiastic walker.

REASON FoR ALL THINGS.
Customs That Now Seem Peculiar Had
Orioin In Wisdom.

origin IN WISDOM.
II you are patient enough to ferret
1t out you will find that there is rea.
son for every little idiosyncrasy we
have, for every queer thing We DO.
Take. for example. the wearing OF
widows caps. Why do widows cover
their heads with these curious little
arrangements OF maline, crepe and
lace? 1t is a custom handed down to
us from the Romans. who shaved their
heads when they mourned the loss of
a dear one. This idea was all right
for men who did not mind appearing
without a single spear Of hair on their
heads. but of course It was most un.
attractive for women. No one. not
even u Roman matron. liked to be
seen bald-headed. SO the women of
the Tiber devised little cap to hide
their badness. and thus the custom
has come down to us, even though
heads are no longer shaved as a sign
Of mourning.
The reason that bells are tolled for
the dead is that years ago, when toll.
ing was first established. the people
thought that the sound of the bells
frightened away evil spirits who HOY.
cred near the dead.
Why do men. and women. too. wear
bows on the left side of their hats
The reason is simple enough When
the head covering built upon the order
OF hats OF to-day was FIRST introduced
1t was ornamented with ribbon which
went around the crown and hung down
In two ends on the left side. reaching
below the shoulder. These ends were
sort Of anchor. or safety line, and
were put there expressly to be seized
when a sudden gust OF wind threaten
cd to blow the hat away. The ribbons
were put on the left side because. rs u
general thing. the left hand was more
apt to be free than the right. Eventu
ally these ribbons were knotted In a
fetching bow with flowing ends, and
then they were cut on quite close To
the hat. so that they form q very
small and stin bow knot.
II Is always the custom to throw old
shoes after 4 bride and this queer
custom came into vogue when parents
were In the habit OF using their slip
perx to keep their girls obedient and
good. Now the slipper IL not really
intended for the bride. but for the
bridegroom. who is supposed to usd
1t for the same purpose the mother
and father Of olden times did.
