Leaving Security.

Johann Sicbcricl is by nature sus-
picious; but. says the Albany Jour
nal, he appreciates a reasonable pro-
position. y travelling butcher came his
way one day and bargained with him
for eight head of fine cattle. The
price being satisfactory, the butcher
felt in his pocket and found he had
not brought his wallet.
81 have not the money with me, ;"
he said, "but I will drive the cattle
to town and send the money back to
YOU"
"Ncin!' said Johann cmrhatically.
"That goes not good. Yea shouldt

"Wcll, | tell you what IIl do

only six Of them in. and TT leave the
other tw" as security for tie debt"

his face lighted.

Al Expected R.ror;.

y country newspaper man, who is
very fond Of honey, visited neigh
Dor city recently, and at ono of the
hotels he was served with some de-
liciouS honey. He enjoyed it so much
that he told his wife all about it
when he returned home. On his next
trip to the city she accompanied him.
They visited the same hotel and when
the noon meal was being served he
said to his wife that lie hoped they
had some more of that honey. It did
not appear, however, and the newspa-
per man, therefore, beckoned to a
waiter and said: "Say, Sambo, where
is my honey9' He was almost para
lyzed when that worthy grinned and
replied: "She doan work here no
moro, boss. She done got a job at the
silk mill" The wife received a hand
some new dress before they returned
home, after making a solemn promise
not to tell the story.-Lippincott s

Bluebeard.

Like many Of the other heroes of
the nursery tales, Bluebeard once liv-
ed in the flesh and blood, if the old
chroniclcr, Holinshed, from whom
Shakespeare got so much of his mate
rial, Is to be believed. According to
that writer, the original Blucbeard
was Giles de Retz or de Raiz, Marquis
Of Laval, who became Marshal Of
France in 1929. He is described as
an impious and debauched man, a de-
votee of the mack Art, who enticed
young men and young women to his
castle and killed them in order to OBJ
tain innocent blood for His magical
entertainments, and who also murder
ed six or seven Of his wives. His
crimes were discovered and he was
burned at the stake in 1440 at Nan
is.
According to an old French legend,
however, the original Blucbcard lived
in Brittany in the sixth century, anu
was known as Count Conomer. AZ
ter seven Of his wives had disappcar-
ell, lie became cnamourcd of Triphy-
ma, the daughter Of Count Gucreck Of
Eanncs. The wedding was celebrated
at '\ame$, and Cnnomcr, took his
bride home.
Before a year had passed Triphyna
noticed Il change in her husband s
manner, and, fearing the same fate
that had met her predecessors. she

Some argue that before we kill the
lien law that we should kill the home
stead law. Now, this reminds me of
what the old lady said, that her son
should never go near the creek or
river until he learned to swim. We
can never do otherwise as long as we
have the lien law. What is in the
way of anyone waving the homestead
law now, if he wants to do so.
Remove the lien law, and then the
more intelligent property owners will
bo forced to secure advances made
to produce the crops, and incidentally
the land owner will have to look after
his interest in both crops and land,
all of which will tend to improve the

The lien law is handmade Of the

Exchange is nothing less than. the big
stick used by foregn spectators
to hammer down prices of cotton.
Take away the use of the mail and
the cotton wines to these exchanges
and remove the lien law, their main
arm in South Carolia, then the intelli-
gent land owners and the better class
of business men can run our cotton

he flies away upon his long journey
of 10000 miles to the Artic circle.
When winter begins there he returns
again to the extreme southernmost

els 10000 miles each year in search
of Il climate that suits him. something
that few human beings ever do.
