Made Clients Look Cheap.

A lawyer appeared before one Of the
New York city boards asking that
damages be awarded to certain clients
because of a change Of grade in their
street. When he had completed his
argument the president said: Mr..
Blank, you ought to know better than
to take up the time of this board in
this manner. You are too good law
yer not to allow that on your own pre-
sentation of facts these people have
not the shadow Of legal claim
against the city" your remarks are
fully justified, Mr.. President" said Mr..
Blank Il not only expected them,
but you have done me a favor by
making them. There are times when
a lawyer is so pushed by his clients
who seem to know more about the
law than he does that the only thing
he can do is to let them come up
against it themselves. They probably
know as much about 1t now as / did
before. l thank you for your atten
ton" With that he took up his books
and left the room, followed by half
dozen crestfallen clients.

IN LEAGUE WITH THE DEVIL.
Balloon Ascent In London in 1894 Was
Made Holiday.

Tremendous excitement was caused
when London's first balloon went up
nearly century and quarter ago.
The balloon, manned by young
Italian named Vincent Lunardi. as
cended from Moorfields, then an open
space Of ground, on September 15,
1884, in the presence Of more than
100000 spectators.
All business was suspended, the
king himself setting the. example by
adjourning cabinet council that hap
pened to be sitting. Vast crowds fol.
lowed the balloons course, some on
horseback in carts, in chaises, but
mostly on foot.
Many were hurt in the crush, but
the only fatality recorded was the
death from fright of an old country
woman, who, coming out Of her cot
tage to see what the excitement was
about, beheld the balloon just above
her head.
On the other hand Lunardi undoubt-
edly saved one mans life, jury bring
ing in verdict of mot guilty on
notorious highwayman in order that
they, the prisoner and the judge who
was trying might rush out of court to
see the balloon.
The aeronaut descended eventually
near Ware, in Hertfordshire, where
his sudden drop from the clouds was
the cause of more establishment and
excitement.
Many of the spectators swooned
with fear, while others urged the put
ting of Lunardi to death there and
then on the ground that he must needs
be sorcerer and in league with the
evil one.-Chicago Daily News.

CONSIDERED IT GOOD THING.
Sporty Individual Wanted Part OF
the Wager.

Congressman Champ Clark was
passenger recently on train bound
for Kansas City when he was much
amused by the soliloquy of an old
chap who. it appeared, was proceed
ing to the city named on certain legal
business. The journey was nearly
completed when the elderly person be.
came possessed of the notion that GER
tain important papers had been left
behind. After hurried investigation
of his bag he observed:
IF l left those papers behind I'm
fool!"
A little later he resumed his exam
ination of the bags contents. Il bet
it'll turn out I'm fool" he murmured
sadly.
When another mile or two had been
accomplished he rummaged through
the bag once more, and as he turned
over the last bundle repeated:
TT will sure turn out I'm fool"
At this juncture testy individual
occupying the adjoining seat took q
hand. Frowning upon the old chap
who had so often offered to wager
that he was a fool, the irritable per-
son looked over the edge of his news
paper, and with sarcastic interest
said:
Would you oblige me, sir, by lay
ing a little money that same way for
me?"-Harper's Weekly.

1houaht II somethina to Eat.

A young Englishman with title
and a healthy appetite recently went
to spend a few days at a monastery
in Switzerland. BY chance he arrived
on a Friday. when the fare was espe-
cially frugal. He had little to eat that
day and went to bed hungry. During
the night, as is their custom, one Of
the fathers went to the cells with a
benediction, THE Lord be with you"
which, of course. he said in Latin.
When, he came to the door OF the WIS.,
itor' scell he knocked and said.
"Dominus tecum!" who's there?"
cried the young Englishman. The
monk repeated, "Dominus tecum!"
"Ah, thanks, I'm much obliged" said
his lordship, getting out OF bed.

CAME BACK TO THE BLANKET.
Chaplain Didn't Make as Good Ex-
change as He Thought.

One would think that almost any
the rainy open: The chaplain of the
Fifty-second Massachusetts volunteers
did not find it so, as the major of the
regiment relates in an article on "Up
the Teche with Banks" A bridge had
been built, and the union troops were
supposedly taking a rest, camping be-
side the bayou.
The chaplain and the sergeant ma
jor were sleeping, or trying to sleep,
under the same blanket. The sergeant
major was soon fast asleep. Down
came the rain. The soldiers woke and
tried to shift to the shelter Of the
trees, but there was little room. The
water came down in torrents. If one
drew up his rubber blanket the rain
fell on his feet; If he pushed it down
it soaked his hair.
The chaplain finally got up to look
for better place. The major drowsed
on. Presently the chaplain returned.
I've found nice dry spot You'd
better come"
Where is it?" was the sleepy re-
sponse
In pigpen. Nice dry shelf in a
pigpen. I'm going there. You'd better
come
Although the major ached in every
bone, he had his doubts as to there
being room for two, so he replied:
Il guess I'll stay here" and cover
ing his upper ear with tin plate to
keep out the rain, he went off to sleep
| again.
In about half an hour he was dis
! turbed by some one getting in under
| his blanket.
"Who is it?" he grumbled.

The chaplain uttered but one word
that was sufficient in explanation.

everything up-to-date, without destroy
ing the venerable earmarks of this Won
derfully attractive dramatization Of
Harriet Beecher Stoves great work
will be presented at the opera house on
Sunday evening, Feb. 10th. Grand
fathers who saw this play years ago
will be among the auditors in company
with their grandchildren, perhaps, and
there will be no difference in the hearth
ness of their applause than in years
gone by. The same old procession, Top
sizes, Marks, Uncle Tom, Little Eva,
will be there, but it is procession that
will march right into the heart despite
it's tramp of half century. The Stet-

and accessories will be found to be the

of Harriet Beecher Stowe's master
piece is preserved in it's entirety in the

Perfectly Proper Word.

"Tote' is good English, on higher au-
thority than that it IL a colloquialism
which has become engrafted into our
language. 1t is Anglo-Saxon to the
core, as. says Bosworth's Anglo-Saxon
Dictionary. London edition of 1852,
thus: Tote from Titan, to lift up. to
carry in the hands or upon the per-
son in the same sense as the LATIN
Tollotollere." Tote is not known ex-
cept among English descended people.
and Is unquestionably correct, al
though now obsolete to a great extent.

Thackeray's Poets.

Thackeray's favorite poets were
Goldsmith and the Sweet lyrick sing
ers," Prior, whom he thought the easi-
est, the richest, the most charmingly
humorous of English lyrical poets,
and Gay, the force of whose simple
melody and artless ringing laughter
he appreciated. He admired Pope.
too; but while admitting Milton's
greatness, thought him such bore
that no one could read him." 1t is not
surprising, therefore, that Thackeray
never essayed the "big bowwow kind"
OF poetry.

the counties. There are 1870 me-
groes who own their farms. In
1900 fifty-five per cent of the farms
were being operated by negroes.
They raise 3S.9 per cent OF the farm
products and represent 1916 per cent
OF the expenditure for fertilizers .
This was the condition prevailing
when the farmers first began to talk
of reducing the cotton acreage
When l suggested that to repeal the

You will observe from the above
that the negro has been producing
nearly half the crops Of the State,
and Of course nearly all OF that half

to know that MASSACHUSETTS,, with q
compulsory school law for nearly one

of her population In school. South
Carolina without that kind OF law,
has 20 per cent Of her population in
school. Furthermore, Massachu-
setts, with her native white popuia-
tion, has only 1907 per cent In
school; South Carolina, native
whites, 25.23 per cent. This shows
that, white population alone consid-
cred, South Carolina Is ahead of the
great Northern States in attendance
at school.
I will close. this letter by giving
some facts on a condition in this
State that will in the near future
claim much greater attention from
the people than the lien law, the dis
pensary law, and the law as to
schools combined. i refer to the in
crease of crime in South Carolina.
Within the past five years 1,245 men
have been murdered in this State,
and only 28 death sentences we're

were executed, but 1 recall but one
white man who was hanged. There
were more men tried for murder
last year in one county in this State
with 10000 Inhabitants than in a

Ninety-seven per cent
of murderers are hanged ir England.
