How He Found the Key.

How No Found the Key.
Gracious, George" she said to her
brother, returning after a week in the
country and discovering her wardrobe
empty, where are all my clothes
And what In the world is that great
black patch on the lawnw
Maria" George replied consolingly,
'you wrote to me that If wanted the
key Of the billiard room should find
it In the pocket Of your bolero. Well,
I don't know a bolero from flchu or
a box plait, so took all the things to
the lawn and burned them. Then l
recovered the key from the ashes."-

It is not uncommon to hear elder
" people lament that no one now
reads the books which were popular
in their young days, and they will
probably add that no living writer
can for a moment compare with the
generation Of authors that has pass
ed away, by which they generally
mean Dickens, Thackeray, George
Eliot, Bulwer, Trollope, Bronte,
Hawthorne, etc. We have, however,
every now and then a report from
librarians of large libraries which
goes far to disprove the correctness
Of the complaints of these cold
cou1a - since thew show that MANY
Of the authors named are still in
great demand by the public and hold
their own very well alongside Of the
books which are in favor for the
moment, and it was not a little sur
prising to find that in table based
on those reports David Copper
field" headed the list with a per-
centage of 80 and that '1vanhoe"
followed closely with sS.-Charles-
ton News and Courier.

This information made q deep i'm

All Wind.

All Wind.
In q country church a young minis
ter used in his sermon for an illustra-
ton of storm and peace the storm On
the lake of Galilee. That storm was
depicted as one of lightning and thun-
der and rain and wind. AS he came
out of the church one Of the members
tackled him, saying:
THAT was a wonderful description
of thine OF the storm. Who told you
It Numbered and lightened and rain
ed?
"Why, those are the natural accom-
paniments of q storm"
IF you had read your Bible you
would have seen that 1t was a storm
Of wind, just like yours"

Wixardry Of Wolseiey.
The loss Of an eye years ago once
stood Lord Wolseley In good stead. 1t
seemed impossible to get any informa-
ton Of the enemy's strength and the
forces under the command Of Arab
Pasha. At length an Arab was caught
near one OF the outposts. Naturally ex-
pecting that he would be able to give
q good deal Of Information, he was
taken before Lord Wolselsy, who ques-
toned him. The man, however. refus-
ed to speak.
"It is no use your refusing to an
swer me-" he said to the man 81 am
q wizard, and at a single word I can
destroy you and your masters. To
prove this to you I Will take out my
eye, throw 1t up In tho air, catch 1t.
and put 1t back into my head"
Suiting the action to the word, Lord
Wolseley removed his glass eye, threw
It into the air. caught 1t, and put it
back again into the empty socket That
demonstration was sufficient to convert
the Arab. He capitulated without fur
Their demur, and the information he
gave led to Arabfs defeat

A Good Samaritan.
Passing an apartment house in the
small hours of the morning, he noticed
a man leaning Imply against the door

''DrunkT'
"Yep."
'Do you live in this houseq"
"Yep."
"Do you want. me to help you up

"Yep."
With much difficulty he half drag

up the stairway to the second floor.
"What floor do you live onT' he ask
ed. "Is this it?'
"Yep."
Rather than face an irate wife who
might perhaps take him for a compan-
ion more at fault than her spouse, he
opened the first door he came to and
pushed the limp figure in.
He CROPPED his way downstairs again.
AS he was passing through the vesti-
bule he was able to make out the dim
outlines of another man, apparently In
worse condition than the first one.

His Great Error.

While at the head of course on rail-
Professor Hugo r. Meyer had occasion
to give his class a few figures having
to do with car mile prices. When the
course met again he apologized in a
voice bowed down by weight Of woe
for a mistake he had made.
'T said that the figures for such and
such were 5.OO6952S2," he explained In
his contrition. "That was not exact
I should have said 5.OO6952SS."

The blaze was discovered by, Mrs.
Ingram and at the time had
spread from the roof to the cell
ing. Things looked so serious
that removal Of furniture and
goods was begun. The alarm
brought plenty of assistance and
by using small hose the fire was
soon extinguished.
Great interest was taken in the
entertainment given Monday
evening by the school, and the
school library fund, for the bene-
fit Of which the program was
given, was increased by about
SIS, after a few small expense
accounts were settled. The
cause was considered so worthy
that a number who were not able
to attend, on account Of business
or for other reasons, sent con-
tribution. The program as pub
lished last week was given and
each participant carried the part
in a manner that reflected credit
upon themselves and the school.
The program was followed by a
dance and refreshments. The
latter was superintendent by the
teacher, Mrs. Merritt, and the
children of the school waited
upon their guests, and played
the part of real little men and
women. All the way through
it was an affair Of the school and

The leaders of R. F. Romero's

it was demonstrated that in local
social circles, either feast for the
mind or the body, the school is

When a pretty girl pins a

always tits her chin up and

A traveller stopped in small
town in the south to make a

not make the correct change for

the traveller started in search of
someone who could. Sitting be-

old colored man, to whom he
said: Uncle, can you change a

up in surprise, then he touched

Salient Points Of Platform.

Once more the Republican party, in
National convention assembled, SUBJ
mits its cause to the people, This
great historic organization that de-
stroyed slavery, preserved the Union,
restored credit, expanded the Nation
al domain, established sound finan-
cial system, developed the industries
and resources of the country and
gave to the Nation her post of honor
of the countries of the world, now
meets the new problems of govern
ment with the same courage and ca
pacity with which 1t solved the old.
In this, the greatest era of Ameri-
can advancement, the Republican
party reached its highest service I'M
der the leadership of Theodore
Roosevelt. His administration Is
epoch in American history. In no
other period since National sover-
eighty was won under Washington or
preserved under Lincoln has there
been SUCH mighty progress in the
ideals OF government which make for
Justice, equality and fair dealing
among men. The highest aspirations
of the American people have found
voice Their most exalted servant
has come to represent not political
sovereignty with one, but the best
aims and worthiest purposes of all
his countrymen. American manhood
and womanhood have been lifted to a
nobler sense Of duty and obligation.
The Republican party declares un-
equivocally for a revision of the tar
if by special session Of Congress
Immediately following the Inaugural
ton of the next President and COM
mends the steps already taken to this
end in the work assigned to the APP
propriate committees of the two
houses which are now Investigating
the operation and effect Of existing
schedules.
In all tariff legislation the true
principle of protection is best main
tanned by the imposition of such du-
ties as will equal the difference be-
tween the cost of production at home
and abroad, together with reason
able profit to American industries;
and the benefits that follow are best
secured by the establishment OF max
imum and minimum rates to be adj
ministered by the President, under
limitations fixed in the law, the max
imum to be available to meet dis
ordinations by foreign countries
against American goods entering
their markets, and the minimum to
represent the normal measure of pro-
lection at home; the aim and pur-
pose OF the Republican policy being
not only to preserve without excess
i've duties that security against COM
petition to which American manu-
facturers, farmers and producers are
entitled, but also to maintain the
high standard of living OF the wage
earners of this country, who are the
most direct beneficiaries of the pro-
eective tariff system.
Between the United States and the
Philippines we believe in . free In
terchange Of products with such liml-
tAtions ~ to sugar and tobacco ~
