ters was put on trial for stealing a
watch. The evidence had been very
conflicting, and as the jury retired the
Judge remarked suavely that if he
could afford any assistance in the way
of smoothing out possible difficulties he
should be most happy to do so. Eleven
of the jurors had filed out of the box,
but the twelfth remained, and there
was on his countenance an expression
indicating great perplexity.
rs there any question you'd like to
ask me before you retire." asked his
honor, observing the jurors hesitancy.
The mans face frightened. Yes.
your honor" he replied eagerly. I'D
like to know, your honor whether the
prisoner really stole the watch."-Har-

A MAGNlANIMoUs JUDGE.-A notorious
mountain moonshiner, familiarly known
as Wild Bill, was recently tried before
a Federal court in Georgia, and was
adjudged guilty. Before pronouncing
sentence the judge lectured the prison
er on his long criminal record, and at
last, informing him that the court en-
tertaining no feeling of anger toward
him, but felt only unmixed pity, SEN
fenced him to spend six years in the
Federal prison at Atlanta.
Bill stolidly shifted the quid of to-
bacco in his mouth and turned to leave
the court room with the marshal.
Once outside, the only thing he said
was this:
Well, l suah am glad he want mad
at me!"-Youth's Companion.

A PLENTIFUL SUPPLY.-A teacher IN
one of the primary grades Of the public
school had noticed a striking platonic
friendship that existed between Tommy
and little Mary, two of her pupils.
Tommy was bright enough young
ster, but he wasn't disposed to prose-
cute his studies with much of venge-
ance, and his teacher saw that unless
he got hustle on him before the end
Of the year he wouldn't be promoted.
You must study harder" she told
him, "Or else you won't pass. How
would you like to stay back in this
grade another year and have little Mary
go ahead Of you?'
"Aw," says Tommy in a blase tone
81 guess thereIl be other little Marys."

Lots In Westerleigh

Westerleign is the most desirably
located suburb Of Yorkville, and Is
close to the business centre Of the
town.
It is the only place within the cor
porate limits where a negro can buy q
suitable building lot at a reasonable
price.
Already some thirty-fve or more
lots have been bought by substantial
negroes.
There are only about fifty more lots
for sale.
The prices are low, very low consid-
ering the value, and the terms are
easily within the means Of any indus
trious laborer.
Negroes who desire to invest in lots
for the purpose Of building homes, or
for the purpose Of getting good profits
within year or two should see me
for particulars.

THE LAST TRUMP

Hoping everybody may have a Happy
and Prosperous New Year, I will say
am still selling good MEATS, as
have always done in the past, and I
thank my friends and customers for
their patronage of the past year.
But say man, Pay Me, so can Pay
the Other Fellow. You can't git to
heaven unless you pay your beef bill.
Say, did you ever think what heav-
en- Is like? I will tell you, and then
maybe you will pay me.
Heaven is a beautiful place,
Free from trouble and care,
It's the only place that you can go,
And your mother-in-law won't be
there.
Yours to serve,

Sunday Lure of the Water.

Here are a few incidents which
vided jobs for the undertaken.
A Yale senior was drowned in
Long Island Sound from a capsized
canoe.
A boy and two girls were plunged
into Lake Quinsigamond from an
overturned canoe and were drowned
An Italian was drowned from
canoe in the Connecticut river near
Springfield.
A young man was drowned while
canoeing on the Sudbury river at
Wayland, Mass.
A man who was swimming at
South Berwick, Me-, became too dar-
ing and was drowned.
A 13-year-old boy went bathing in
the Delaware river near Bordertown
N, J. He couldn't swim and going
beyond his depth he was drowned.
A 20-year-old young man went In
swimming from boat at Ocean
City, N. j., and lost his life.
This. record Of Sunday drownings
in New England and eastern states
is selective and not exhaustive. But
1t is long enough to emphasize the
peril of careless canoeing and Of
reckless bathing. Nothing is more
treacherous than a canoe which is
handled by an incompetent or an in
cautious person. The record of can
oeing fatalities each summer
amounts to prodigious figures. 1t is
pitiful, foolish, needless. A large
| majority of canoe accidents Is easily
| avoidable Reasonable caution only
| is needed. Needless bathing is a
| close second to needless canoeing as
cause of drowning The person
who, unable to swim, ventures be-
yond his depth and the person who,
able to swim, takes too great chan
ces, are easy victims of the water.
| On pleasant Sundays in summer
the lure OF the water is great Those
who yield to the lure should not
leave caution at home.-H-rtford

BRASS BED DRAWS LIGHTNING.
Sleeping Girl Severely Shocked

Worcester, Mass, Aug. "a
Found in coma resembling death,
Miss Eva Coriveau, a pretty young
woman living on North Main street,
Millbury, after several hours was
brought to consciousness, but could
remember nothing of what had hap
pened She is in a critical condition.
DR.. Gustave Desy says she is suf-
fering from an electrical shock.
Neighbors saw bolt of lightning
drop into the Blackstone river,
which flows by the girls home. Her
bedroom window was open, and it
is thought the brass bed on which
she lay asleep became charged from
the electrical disturbance outside,
shocking her into instantaneous in
sensibility, from which she cannot
recover.

A DONATION PARTY.
In Which Two Distinguished Cit-

The past year has been prolific Of
competitive contests of various kinds
in which one man has demonstrated
his physical, mental or acquired pow
ers over some other man in certain
lines of sport, workmanship, endur-
ance or capacity. Pugilism and foot
ball are easily in the lead; but which
of these is ahead of the other in tn:
interest manifested and the money
taken in, it would be difficult mat
ter to determine. The subjects mer-
toned, however, are not the only
ones in which rivalry running high
and great sums of money involved
cut big figure in the calendar of the
nations events.
Away down east are two gentlemen
who are distantly related to the writ

D. Rockefeller. l say "distantly'
without qualification, because the dis
lance is somewhat remote, and this

mixed to be traceable or dscoverable.
