the chapel, where he had been saying mass, when
he met Joliet. The fur trader was a boyish
frankly enthusiastic adventurer, of twenty-eight,
younger by eight years than the priest. He
explained that he bore orders from the governor
of Canada to go forth and find wonderful river,
a mighty river the Father of Waters which the
Indians knew.

Joliet, with eyes a-sparke. The Indians say

The two men spent the whole winter preparing
for the trip They gathered together all the in
formation they could about the routes to take.
The Indians drew maps for them in the sand and
in the snow showing where the known lakes and
rivers We're and the location of the portages
where the travellers would have to carry their
canoes and supplies across the country from one
stream to another. But the Indians could

turning their canoes bottom side up to sleep
under. They found plenty of wild game; turkey,

John Billiards Father.

A characteristic Of the Billiards is
that Of being colsc-mouthed. John
L. Billiard Of Meriden, is like his
father in this. His information IS
extensive and he knows what others
about him for a considerable radius
are doing, but he is not given to
talking much. Of the father th:re Is
told an anecdote which has become a
classic in Meriden.
His knowledge Of the financial
condition and position Of others was
known to be more accurate by far
than that Of the general run Of peo-
pie; who find when a man dies that
they really knew little Of his real
standing. and on one occasion an ac-
quaintance sought to take advantage
of this. A mutual friend had died
and the questioner wished to dispel
the general doubt as to how much
money he had left.

A Division of Purpose.

EVerbodv'S.
Some years ago the Yankee schoon-
er Sally Ann, under command Of
Capt. Spooner, was beating up the
Connecticut river. Mr.. Comstock. the
mate, was at his station forward. Ac-
cordine to his notion Of things the
schooner was getting a "leetle" 100
near certain mud flats, which lay
along the larboard shore. SO aft he
went to the captain and. with his
hat cooked on one side, said:
"Cap'n Spooner, you're getting a
leetle too close to them flats. Hadn t
ye better 60 about?''
The captain glared at him.
"Mr. Comstock, jest You go for
'ard and tend to your part of the
skinner. I'll tend to mine.''
Mr.. Comst6ek went for ard in high
dudgeon.
"Boys," he beloved out, "see
that that ar mudhook's all clear fer
letting go!'
Gay, ay, sir"
"Let 60, them" he roared.
Down went the anchor, out ratified
the chains, and like a flash the Sally
Ann came lufing into the wind and
then brought up all standing. Mr.,
Comstock walked aft and touched his
hat.
"Well, car'n, ny part Of the skun-
er is to anchor.''

Clean she must certainly be: physl-
cally, mentally and morally, or else
she can lay no claim to the title.
This is not so easy as ii sonds. 1t is
a difficult task to keep clean physl-
callv, even with all the modern as
sistants,- and it is far more difficult
ito free oneself of the germsofmaral
and mental dirt than it is to keep our
bodies free from the dust Of the
street. Yet lady must brush from
her all contamination, keeping her
standards high and pure: living just
as nearly as she can to her ideal of
what is noblest and best, seeing only
that which uplifts and inspires.
And, in addition to this, she is
kind She instinctively avoids any
thing that gives pain to others, and
it is this kindness that produces the
manner We call courteous. Kindness
is an active virtue,> and so she will
do much for others, and in thus think
ing Of others she will eventually ac-
complish that most difficult task

At first the definition sounds very
simple. We all are clean and kind
at times. But to be always clean and
kind means living mp to pretty
high standard: and even when one
has done one hest to be clean and

The defeat Of J. Wright Nash is to
be regretted. Mn. Nash has been a
legislator Of recognized ability and
was one Of the leaders Of tie house.
Experience counts in the halls of leg
iSlation as it does everywhere else
but that does not seem to be looked
on as q desirable qualification by the
voters Of SpaTtanburg county. as they
have defeated about all of the men,
berS who offered for reelection. The
men they have elected are just as
good ,rer perhaps as those defeated
but theE lSck the experience. AS
soon as they have acquired experience
th>y too are likely to be defeated by
inexperienced men. It's just a way
the voters have. They like to crack
people, 5 heads sometimes just to show
that they have the power.-Spartan-
burg Journal.
This is true Of a great many coun-
ties. In selecting men for the legis-
lahure the voter too often votes for
personal preferences or dislikes rath-
er than for fitness and efficiency. A
man who has had experience is always
better equipped. Of course experience
is not the only consideration to take
into the account.
