A tourist while sojoulning at ris-
ing Scottish seaside resort was one
morning almost drowned through rush
ing into the sea to recover his hat that
had been blown off by gale of wind.
He was, however gallantly rescued by
a passerby; but, to his astonishment'
he was seized by a constable as he was
being dragged ashore and conveyed 10
the police station, where he was
charged with disregarding a bylaw
which enacted that any one found in
the water after a. m., should De
prosecuted as the law directs.
The presiding bailie animadverted
severely on the Nervousness Of such a
fragrant breach of the bylaw, remark
ing:
"Eh, man an so We are doin' all We

shame. after we haze spent so much
money to max the toon attractive.

- Columbia special of September IA,
to Charlotte Observer: Eleven ne
groes arrested at Ninety-Six, are in
Jail at Greenwood today on the charge
of insurrection, growing out Of race
friction An intercepted letter reveal
ed the fact that a band of negroes had
been planning secretly at Ninety-SiX
to shoot up" the town on Sunday
night, September 9Th, but that the
floods which caused the annulment OF
all freight trains had delayed the de-
livery of rifles to the negroes. Sheriff
MCCLELLAN asserts that the evidence
against the negroes is conclusive. There
has been much friction between the
races since the general election race
riot near Ninety-SiX ten years ago,
when many negroes were killed. Two
years ago it was rumOred that negroes
were obtaining guns to use in an at
tack on white citizens, but the mer-
chant who it was found sold the guns
furnished the names Of those who
bought them, and all the guns were
collected. Four weeks ago Joseph Toll
bert, white Republican, was run out
of Ninety-SiX at a local election, and
it is said that in the intercepted letter
the negroes mentioned as marked men
four of those most active against Toll
bert.

THE BENT OF INCLINATIoN.-One OF
our exchanges tells Of an old German
who had a boy Of whom he was very
proud, and decided to find out the
trend Of his mind He adopted nov
ell method by which to test him. He
slipped into the boys room one morn
ing and placed on his table bottle of
whisky, Bible and a silver dollar.
Now" said he, when dot boy comes
in if he takes dot dollar he's going to
be beeznis man; if he takes dot Bible
he's going to be a preacher: If he takes
dot whisky he's no good, and going to
be a drunkard." Then he hid behind
the door to see which his son would
choose. In came the boy whistling.
He ran up to the table, picked up the
Bible and put it under his arm, then
snatched up the bottle, took two or
three drinks, picked up the dollar and
put it in his pocket, and went out
smacking his lips. The Dutchman
poked his head out from behind the
door and exclaimed: "Mein Got, he is
going to be a politician"

LESSON OF THE AGES-Stanford
White lies in his grave, to which he
came under circumstances that make
even his own family reluctant to have
his name mentioned. Harry Kendall
Thaw is in an insane asylum. To get
himself sent there was his only alter
native to going to the electric chair as
murderer. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw is
in a sanitarium. a physical and moral
wreck. living on the charity Of friends.
The moral of the tale is the old, old
one, as old as humanity itself-and yet
one that never grows old, since in ev-
cry generation there are those who
will not learn it until too late. The
lesson of it all is plain and clear be-
fore us every day. But it needs ever
to be reiterated and enforced upon
the minds of the young. and to be TAX

A SUGGESTED Compromise.

At a convivial party, recently, a gen.
tleman who had returned from
heightened tour in the east was relat-
ing some Of the wonderful things he
had seen on his travels.
The yarns he spun were decidedly
steep" but the guests politely accept
ed his statements as true.
Encouraged by the reception accord
ed to his tallest stories, he ventured to
state that he had seen at the foot of
the HimalayaS a tiger forty feet long
from the tip of the nose to the tip of
the tail. This was too much, and ev-
erybody kept silence, until gentleman
from Oban dryly remarked:
"Oh, yes, the words o Nature are
very wonderful and very large what
ever Just last week saw skate
brought ashore at Oban which covered
a quarter of an acre of ground"
Nobody spoke, and amid the silence
the eastern traveller left the room. The
host. perceiving that something was
amiss, rose and followed him.
rs there anything wrong?" he asked.
Il have been insulted," said the trav-
eler. That Scotch gentleman has dealt
a blow at my veracity, and l cannot
return until he apologies"
Anxious that harmony should pre-
vail among his guests, the host return
ed to the room and, explaining matters
to the company, asked the Highlander
to make an apology, if merely for
FORMS sake.
Well" said he, "I'll no just apollo
gize: but tell him to come back ana

ONLY THE "EFFECTs."-On one of
the western rivers some years ago, the
steamboat F. X. Thompson ran on a
snag and was sunk. 1t settled in the
water in such a way that only the
initials of the name painted on the
side Of the boat showed above the sur
face. The wreck was regarded with
much interest by the passengers on the
next boat that went up the river. One
of them. more curious than the others,
hunted up the captain.
Captain" he asked, do you know
the name of that steamboat"
Yes, sir" answered that officer,
That's what is left Of the F. x.

cause Of her sinking?"
