LONG WINDED PREACHERS. - Dean
LEROY, who has expressed the opinion
that ten minutes is long enough for
sermon, would have met with scan
sympathy from some divines Of pas
centuries, says the Westminster Ga.
zette
Thomas Hooker considered three
hours a fair average allowance for g
sermon. though, on one occasion. wher
he was i'll, he let his congregation of
more lightly. Pausing at the end Of
fifteen minutes he rested a while, ant
then continued his homily for two
hours longer. Cranmers sermons were
each a small book when set up in type
and Baxter, Knox, Bunyan and Calvin
rarely reached Lastly, my brethren
under two hours.
George Herbert once said: "The par.
son exceeds not an hour in preaching
because all ages have thought that 6
competency" but a certain rector OF
Billbury, Glouscestershire. was Of an
other opinion. for he never sat dowr
under two hours. The squire, we learn
usually withdrew after the text was
announced, smoked his pipe outside
and returned for the blessing.

Merry, the French poet. A creditor
called one morning early to ask pay
ment of an account. He interviewed
the poet in bed and expressed sorrow
at having to trouble him, but would
he settle the account. with pleasure
replied Merry Have the goodness to
open the first drawer of that cabinet y
Il have. sir" replied the creditor, but
there is nothing there" Indeed?
Well, try the next" There is moth
ing in it." That is strange. Try
the third There is nothing in there
either" Look on the mantel-shelf.
But it is the same as the drawers.
1T is incredible Have you looked on
the table," Yes" and in the secre-
taire!" YES, and there is nothing.
I'm my clothes?" Yes; 1 have turn
ed out all the pockets" "Ah, WELL" re-
piled Merry, with the greatest compo-
sure. "if there is no money in the
drawers or on the mantel or on the ta-
BILE or in the secretaire or in my pock-
cts. how in the name of all that's Won

Taft,s Latest Fish Story

Justice Harlan told a story to Judge
Taft of how he went out to play golf
in a fog. He thought he would drive
the ball and sent it off at a hazard.
He came to the caddie and asked him
to find the ball, looking within a radius
of three hundred yards. The caddie's
eyes stuck out.
Il done found dat ball, judge. 1t am
in de hole sure 'nough. 1t jest wiggled
in like"
1t was certainly remarkable that a
drive through the fog should place a
ball where the most earnest effort OF
two to twenty strokes may fail in
broad daylight.
Judge Taft responded with a fishing
story. also about fog. He went out
one day in a wagon to fish and the
fog came down thick. He drew up
where he thought the stream ought to
be. cast his line, felt pull and hauled
in a fine trout-another bite and an
other until the wagon was filled. The
fog lifted and the wagon was three
hundred yards from the river! There
was a silence which might be felt when
Judge Taft concluded, and Justice Har-
Ian told no more fog stories.-Joe

TIE OTHER REASoN.-A teamstel
retires at the age of ninety with an ac-
emulation of $5OOOO. He says he
wants and is entitled to rest. Some
inquirers want to know how he could
have saved so much on $12 week, the
highest wages he ever received. The
answer is easy. He got 80 day. He
lived on 90 cents day. He saved the
difference. l lived in New York on
cents day for nearly six months and
was in magnificent health. Some peo-
pie eat to live: others live to eat AS

way home from a few days visit to
his brother Mr.. H. ]. Millen at Rod
man. after the adjournment of synod
at Newberry. .. Mr.. A. G. Brice went
to Charlotte yesterday morning to
meet with the committee appointed by

-. Mrs. Susie Culp. wife of Mr.. VIM.
L. Culp. died at 10 o'clock Saturday
morning, November IA, at her home
on Saluda street, after an illness Of
only a few days with bronchial pneu-
monia. She was a daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. R. T. Cloud and was in her
21st year. Besides her husband she
left four little children, the youngest
being an infant of only a few hours.
The funeral was at the home Sabbath
afternoon at o'clock, conducted by
Rev. ]. S. Snyder, and the burial was in
Evergreen cemetery. According to
the figures of some of our exchanges,
there appears to be twenty-five prohi-
bition counties in this state and twen-
ty having dispensaries. Unless we are
mistaken, the counties are evenly di-
vided, twenty-one to twenty-one Ev-
identity some of our contemporaries are
laboring under the impression that Un-
ion, which voted on the dispensary a
week before the general election, voted
out the dispensary, whereas the fact Is
that Union was already a prohibition
county and an effort was made to re-
store the dispensary, which failed.

I'm short, from the moment the American girl
sets foot in Italy she must remember that some
one is trying to get away from her the small
means with which she is presumably furnished,
and that some exceedingly brilliant fairy tales
viii be spun for her entertainment while the
denonetizing process is going on. Everything
depends on how she chooses the man to whom
she intends intrusting her voice She must re-
member that he will either make it or break it,
In contrast 10 the European deposition to
fleece Americans right and left is the helpful
ness that prevails in all American musical cen
tres. together with the undoubted fact that
MANY of the best European musicians are now
teaching on this side of the water and that the
musical education made possible through con-
certs and opera in New York is more perfect
than in any European municipality. Musical
instruction here has advanced by leaps and
bounds Milan, which Mr.. Dunnins cites as stiii
the leading European centre for opera training
