 "John. I'll have to lay you off fer tbe first two weeks of the new year. Ycr !

Ropes an wreaths of evergreen twiHed about the pillars and the elcctrolicrs, and on the massive bar stood a bowl of free punch. for it was New Years day.
 "Yes, boys" said the lean man. you'll have to go.'
 What for, boss!'' asked the young 1T of the two bartenders. Mechanic ally with his wooen bar cloth he pcl lshed the bar til it shone again and aDxiously he sazed in his employers g face.
 "Why. John. you ought to know what for.'

THE CHILDREN'S HOLlDAi.

The boys of course is braided in a pigtail, and the girls is done up on her head with silver pins or, if she's very grand little girl, with gold or jade. Thus decked out, the children go walking with their proud papas and nlammaS and often go to the theater, which is a rare treat for them.

MIR. CALLAHAN KILLS WIFE.
Frightful Accident Occurs at Honea
Path Last Wednesday.
(Anderson Mail.)

e. " ~.
Honea Path, January IA fright
full accident occurred at Honea Path
this morning by which Sherard L.
Callahan, well known merchant,
shot and killed his wife.
Mr.. Callahan had started out over
his plantation and decided to carry
his rifle along. The gun was In his
bed room. He had taken It In his
hands, and in some way, he does not
know how, 1t was discharged, the
ball striking Mrs. Callahan in the
temple. ssp
Mr. Callahan is almost crazed by
the accident, and cannot tell how
the gun was fired. It had not been
used In some time.
She lived but q short while, and
never spoke after the shot was fired.
Mrs. Callahan was Miss Robin
son of the Craytonville section of the
county. She was about 35 years old
and leat 80 five small children.
The home life of Mr.. and Mrs. Cal
laham was an unusually happy one
They were prominent people, and had
manv friends and relatives through
out the county.
The accident is most distressin ing
one, and Mr.. Callahan will have the
heartfelt sympathy of of his many
friends.
The accident occurred between 8
and o'clock.

RIVER OF SALT WATER.
Flows Inland in Greek Island and
Then Disappears.

One of the most curious phenome-
ma of geography Is found on the
southern coast of the island Of Oe-
phalonia, In Greece. 1t is q stream
Of salt water, which for an un-
known period has left the almost
tidless sea and flowed inland with a
volume sufficient to furnish water
power to two mills. For some gene
rations the mills were operated by
undershot wheels which took their
power from this little river of ocean
water. They supplied -four to the
people of the island until recently,
but now they are dismantled, owing
to the competition Of larger and bet
ter equipped mills. y
The sea enters the land at four
points. where the coast is practically
on level with the salt water sur
face, says the New York Sun. The
four initial streams unite to form the
little river. that flows inland in a
broken rocky channel until 1t finally
disappears in the limestone rock and
sinks into the earth.
This inland flow has continued al
most certainly for several centuries.
1t is far too great for removal by
evaporation, chemical combination
or even physical ABSORPTION by pores
or caverns in the rocks. What be
comes Of the water that is CONSTANT y
flowing inland and disappears finally
in the assures that have opened in
the limestone?
The question has been the subject
Of much study, but no conclusive an
swer has been given. 1t is probable
that here is an underground channel
which carries the water back into
the sea at no great depth below the
surface. The constant influx of salt
water at Cephaloria is duplicated, as
far as Is known, at no other point of
q. ,e world.

Barber Saves the Clippings.
philadelphia Bulletin. }

The barber, as his patron arose,
shook from the apron to the floor the
short locks that he had clipped from
the mans head and boy appeared,
swept up the hair and placed it care
fully in large bag.
Has 1t got aLy use?" asked the
patron, with an interested and pleas
ed smile.
"Of course it has," said the barber
Would save 1t otherwise
But 1t is SO short"
No matter. 1t has its uses"
What is it used for?" said the
man. What will become of that
short hair which I have been carry
ing about under my hat?"
Well" said the barber, "some Of
1t will go into mortar, some of 1t will
stun furniture, but most of it will be
made into those fine strainers which
are used to clarity the best syrups.
There are no strainers equal to those

State at the approaching session for
relief from the liquor dispensary
system on the lines indicated in the
petitions which are now being pre-
sented throughout the city for sigma
lures, reading as follows:
ITO the Honorables the Senators
and Representatives, the General AS
sembly of the State Of South Caro-
lima, In regular session for the year
1908: The humble petition of the
undersigned respectfully shows:
That the dispensary system for
the sale of liquors in the county of
Charleston, in said State, in which
your petitioners reside, is not de-
sired by large majority of the vot-
[. ers and residents OF said county, as
your petitioners verify believe.
THAT tho same Is not suited to
the needs, circumstances and con-
ditions Of the people mostly affected
thereby.
That for these reasons the said
system is not supported by public
sentiment, difficult to enforce, and
not calculated to demand observance
or respect
That your petitioners humbly
pray that such legislation may be
enacted as shall restore the license
system to this community which was
of force at the time of the original
enactment of the State dispensary
law in the year 1892, with the modi-
fications required by the State Con-
stitution of 1895; and your petition
ers feel assured that thereby will be
secured, not only all the benefits
that could possibly be expected from
the dispensary system now In force,

He Had to Go.
(Harper's Weekly

\I1dIpeT WSehly.)
A Chicago medico tells Of two ply
sicians in a Wisconsin town, the one
elderly, with long record of cures,
the other young, with his records
still to make. The older doctor, 1t
appears, was inclined to surrender
some of his night work to the young
er man. One bitter night in winter
the veteran was aroused by two far
mers from hamlet eight miles
away, the wife of one of whom was
seriously Ill. The doctor at once re-
ferred them to his young colleaugue,
but they refused the latter's services.
Very WE'LL" replied tho doctor,
thinking to put convincing argu-
ment before them. "In that case my
fee Is $40, payable now"
Whereupon there ensued remon-
STRANGE on the part of the farmers,
but the doctor was obdurate. FL
nally one of the men asked the other:
We'll, what do you think ought
to -do?"
II think you'd better pay him the
$1O," said the other. "The funeral
would cost you more than that
