WANTED A CORK AND BoTTLE.-A
certain John Simmons had been a
twenty-year abstainer, but fell from
the ways of grace and wOrshipped the
vinous god with all the fervor of q
convert.
Feeling the need of recuperation, he
sent his boy to an adjacent hostelry
for bottle of whisky.
But" cried the hotel proprietor
who's it for?"
For my father" said the boy.
Nonsense. Your father is a total
abstainer and has been, to my knowl-
edge, for longer years than you've liv-
ed"
We'll, at all events. he sent me for
it,"
What does he want it fOr?"
ITO let you into a secret" said the
boy ashamed to tell the truth, hes
going fishing, and he wants the cork
to use for a fioat!"-Philadelphia In

AN ANALOGY.-In the late financial
stringency a clerk in one of the New
York banks was trying to explain to
a stolid old Dutchman why the bank
could not pay cash to depOsitors as
formerly, and was insisting that he be
satisfied with clearing house checks.
But the old man could not grasp the
situation, and finally the president Of
the bank was called upon to enlighten
the dissatisfied customer. After a
detailed explanation of the financial
situation the president concluded.
Now. my good man. you understand,
don't you?"
Yes" obviously replied the Dutch
man, II thinks l understand. It's just
like this; ven my baby wakes up in
der night and cries for milk. l give
her a milk -ticket."-Harper's Weekly.

OUR EXPENSIVE SCHOOLS.
The Cost of Achieving an Education
In Private Institutions.

We have some 500 educational in
name of college or university. They
are of all ranks in pedagogy and all
are doing good work, says writer In
Lippncott's. Aside from the few state
universities, which are almost entire
ly in the west, all these institutions
have developed at private expense.
There are a few such institutions
with a plant" and endowment valued
at $2O,0OO,OOO or more, and not one
of them feels sufficiently equipped. A
large number of them are worth
more than a million, but the cry Is
still "Give, give!" The response Is
ties is going on all the time. New in
stitutions are being founded, and the
average attendance is increasing with
out the average cost to the student
being lessened. On the contrary, it Is
increasing. But the figures as well as
the statistics Of attendance already
show that the bulk of the work Of
superior education is being done at
private cost, while that of secondary
education is four-fifths in the public
high schools.
The unpleasant situation that con-
fronts every parent is that it is more
expensive to give his son the highly
important secondary education than
to give him that superior education
which many parents do not consider
necessary. If it were a fact that every
boy who gets a secondary education
continued his studies and took up SUI
perior education, the situation would
be less unsatisfactory, for bright
boy in college might make up for the
deficiencies in public secondary
schools. But the figures show all too
plainly that only a small fraction Of
those who get secondary education
are enabled to secure the superior
In these practical days it is becoming
more and more the opinion Of many
hard headed business men that the
college, as at present conducted, does
not properly train boys for active life
i'm the commercial world. But 1t
would be difficult to find the most
pessimistic parent who would deny
the necessity of secondary education
(even in it's present unsatisfactory
state) for all except those who ex-
pect to be hewers of wood and draw
ers of water. And the number of par
ents who can give a boy education
for four years beyond the grammar
grades is vastly greater than those
who can afford to continue his edu-
cation four years more at college.

LANCASTER.

News, June "a: Mr.. T. o. Steele, a
clever Young Lancastrian now resid-
ing in Alabama, where he is making
good"-as all sons of old Lancaster
do who are imbued with the determi-
nation to Succeed-was married in
that state a few days ago, his bride
being Miss Bertie Adams, of Thomas
vile. Mr.. Steele is a son of that good
citizen, successful farmer and loyal
Methodist, Mr. H. c. Steele, of the
Dwight section of this county. Two
convicts, Albert Miller and Boisy
James, the former from Lancaster
and serving a sentence of fifteen
years, escaped from the state farm at
Hagood Monday. The dead body OF
Miller was later found in the Wateree
river. 1t is thought that he was
drowned while attempting to swim
across the stream. 1t is the opinion
here that Miller was Sandy Evans,
who was sent up for killing Ben E.
Blackmon, as he also went by the
name of Miller. Several sections
of the county have been blessed with
good rains within the past few days,
but unfortunately in some localities
the dOwnpours were accompanied by
damaging hail storms. In the River
side community there was a heavy fall
of hail Saturday evening, doing Sc
rious damage TO the crops of several
farmers, among them Messrs. P. M.
Latham, c. j. Sistare, James Langley,
H. w. Sistare, Thompson brothers and
Ed. Cauthen, a colored farmer. Mr..
H. w. Sistare was probably the hea-
West sufferer. He had about thirty
acres of cotton, besides some corn
practically ruined. The corn, which
had been laid by. was cut into ribbons
by the stones and blown down by the
wind.
