Cenvivial Russian Party Broke Up In
Some Disorder.

AS all the world knows, queer things
happen in the land Of the czar. There
are grand duke and a grand duchess
IN st. Petersburg who do not refer in
private conversation to an incident In
which the" both figured. A theatrical
company arrived in the Russian cap
ital from Berlin. The leading lady
was pretty and the tenor was an
Adonis. The grand duke and the
grand duchess enjoyed the first per.
ormance very much indeed The next
afternoon the grand duIe had an en-
gagement and weilt atone to 4 Hrst-
class cafe in the city, where he was
Joined by the leading lady he had
seen the night before. The cafe is SO
arranged that it has a number of
small rooms facing a central hall. at
the top OF which a bard discourses
sweot music. The grand duke found
the actress beautiful, but lacking In
wit. He was having stupid time and

ness finally said to his companion.
Lets go into the next room. A party
OF four ought to be congenial"
But they may object" the actress
suggested.
"Oh, no, they won't l am the grand
duke"
The couple walked into the next
room.
Tableau.
TO the horror of the grand duke,
there was the grand duchess sitting at
table with the tenor of the company
to which the actress belonged. The
tenor looked at the actress with as
much amazement as the grand duke
and grand duchess did at each other.
shouting at the grand duke that he had
tnsulted his wife (for this was the re-.
latlon he had with the woman) he
rushed at him, and for a few minutes
there was great mixup in the little
loom. The attendants hurried to the
scene and separated the combatants.
Tie tenor drove away with his wife
and the grand duke took the grand
duchess TO their palace.
The next day the theatrical com.
pany lacked two Of its principals. The
tenor and his wife had been given
passports early in the morning and
escorted to the train by the police.

One Mans Philosophy Rose Superior
to All Affiictions.

Brown cheerfulneSS was q source of
wonder and admiration to his friends,
Ether his religion or his philosophy
taught him to accept everything as a
wise dispGnsation. But then he had a
large share of worldly goods, his
friends argued, and nothing but adver-
sity would shake his faith.
Therefore, when a promising crop
was washed away by flood the neigh
bors were much astonished to hear
him say: Its all for the best. I was
blest with an overabundance last
year."
In the winter his house was buried
20 the ground. To his neIghbors so.
hcitations he calmly responded: 'The
house never suited us anyway, DO it
Is all for the best"
Other calamities befell Brown, but
still he refused tn be disheartened.
Ihe climax came when he was in a
railroad accident. Both feet were so
badly crushed that amputation was
necessary
sympathetic friends gathered from
all quarters. They dreaded to hear
the lamentations they were sure would
greet them, for even Brown could
hardly be expected to pass this lightly
by.
Guess you are pretty well dis.
co"raged, aren't you, with both feet
cut off?' ventured some one. do you
think this is all for the best?"
But Brown nodded his head, Smiling

REMEDIES FOR ALL DISEASES.

Every disease has it's remedy, and
In t. se~ :ch for. that remedy hun
dreds OF cults Of medicine have sprung
up. One man pins his faith in minute
doses of powerful drugs; anothe:
walks b. efoot over wet grass; an
other eats raw fruit and grain; one is
confident that mud laths induce
health. and still another urges us to
chew each mouthful Of food at least
30 times before swallowing. No
doubt, every one of these "cures" is
or benefit to SOME form of disease.
The mistake Of followers Of the treat.
meuts is In thinking their particular
remedy a cure-all for every malady.
There are no universal remedies. In
deed, every type Of disease must re.
celVe special attention and be treated

That seems puzzle, but it is quite

himself in Harnett. Afterward he
moved to Moore county. and when the
county Of Lee was formed few
months ago he found that he was re-
siding in Lee.
