WON. Two And tied THIRD.
GPeelyyllIe Team Defeated by Grad
ed School Boys.

The graded school team is
establishing quite a record for
itself in baseball. Last week
the Greelyville nine was over
whelmingly defeated twice, the
games resulting in scores OF 10
to 1 and y to 3 in favor Of the
kingstree boys. The third
game was a tie, the scores be,
ing 10 to 10. The Greelyviile
team is composed Of a gentle
manly set of young men, with
whom it is a pleasure to play;
but through lack of practice
and inability to work together
they were scarcely able to make
it interesting for our boys.
Thursday afternoon, April 30,
at 4:30 p m, the Kingstree "frst
nine" and the school team will
meet on the diamond. At this
game a collection will be taken
to help pay the expenses of get
ting up these different games.
Come out and encourage the

gave two performances here on
Tuesday. The,audieaces, which
were very good for the season,
were not as large rs the show
deserved. The Howe show is
one of the very best that has
ever exhibited in Kingstree and
every one who attended was
well pleased. The usual con-
comitants of gambling and
swindling devices were conspic-
uous by their absence and phys
ic ally as well as morally, the
show seems to be clean and high
class.
The tent and costumes and
other properties are spick and
span in their newness and the
animals all look well.fed and
properly cared for. The actors
all did their parts unusually
we'll and the managers are as
courteous set of gentlemen as
has ever visited Kingstree in
their line of business.
It is to be hoped that Howe's
Show will return to our town
and when they do we bespeak
for them a warm welcome.

RUBY Glass.

In his book on 1.-THE World of the
Infinitely Small" Professor Gruner of
Berne gives an interesting account of
ruby glass. Genuine ruby glass is ex-
pensive, because it is prepared with
gold. 1t owes its color to the presence
throughout its mass of particles of
gold too small to be seen with the
microscope. Only the ultra microscope,
which renders visible objects p~ercepti-
BILE by ean of their diffusion Of light,
Is able to show the existence Of these
minute particles. With the ordinary
microscope the glass appears as a uni
form transparent mass, but the ultra
microscope shows that 1t Is filed with
points Of light resembling stars on a
black background. These points In

time afterward We laughed and parted

Now, as Muriel recalled with what
glibness she had ratified Off this bit Of
fiction, even laughing to herself over
the apparent humor of 1t, she blushed
at her duplicity.
What had been the real reason, afteI
all. for her falling out with Tom? A
difference OF opinion, so far as she
could remember, over the relative ad
vantages OF spending ones summer in
a house boat or camping out
She was rather unpleasantly CON
scious that Tom had been willing to
split the difference, but that she had
argued that If they couldn't come to a
perfectly harmonious agreement about
spending their summer they very prob
ably would be equally at swords points
over the other seasons of the year.
And so at her request they had broken
the engagement.

scious of the speed with which the
big steamer was plunging through 1t.
