cheerful feeling which nothing but
money can give.
1t takes all sorts and conditions of
people to serve the city's needs. Aside
from the horde Of clerks and deputies
in the various departments. each
branch of the city government needs
experts. The board of health has
bacteriologist and toxicologist. The
board of public works has great crews
OF bunkermen, cribbers, street sweep
ers, and endless numbers of mechanics
The hospitals have a more variegated
crew than a hotel, among others rat
catchers. The coroner has a few grew
some jobs, including one for great
number of water front characters, un-
officially connected with his Office, who
are always on the lookout for bodies
beating about the wharves in the tide
For each find they receive an order
for $40. There is no mistaking these
men, AS soon as they enter the audi
tors Office they are recognized. they
are so distinctive in type. Like water
front characters the world over they
have certain look and stoop char
acteristic of their kind.
The treasurer's clerk pays over the
money perfunctorily on the auditors
order but he gets little of the gem

through his cage. between the piles of
gold. and sees the recipients go mer-
rily away.
Sitting unobtrusively in a corner of
the treasurer's outer Office when the
city's employees are being paid off,
there are always two sisters of
mendicant order. One has reticule
in the folds of her garment. but it does
not appear what their business there is
until some hearty policeman flush with
his 1920, or young school teacher
with her few gold pieces, comes over
and offers a coin. The reward for the
charity is won by the pleased smile on
the Sisters face.
One day while we were photograph
ing, a big, rough man, his coat plas-
tered with mud, took several dollars
from his small pile and with brusque
courtesy dropped them into the reticule.
That is where the Sisters are rewarded
for the tedious hours.

larly for long time and know the

Want DR.. Wolling to Stay Here.

At meeting of the official board OF
Central Methodist, church, Newberry,
on Sunday, March IA, 1909, the fol-
lowing resolution, was adopted
''It having come to the knowledge
Of the board, composed Of the stew
ards and trustees, that there is pro-
liability that their pastor, DR.. }. W.
Wolling, may be transferred to an
other field,
Resolved, That this board, while ex-
pressing it's entire loyalty to the au-
thorities of the church, desires to say
that the removal of the pastor at this
time would be source Of deep regret
to the board and, in its opinion, mis-
fortune to the congregation. The
board, therefore, hopes that DR.. Woll-
ing may be permitted to continue his
work and pastorate here, at least un-
til the close of the present confer

in any soldier Of that mighty army
was the worst Of all crimes; yet for
this man to be a coward was shame
unspeakable. And Alexander IN
great anger commanded the craven:
"Either give up my name or follow

If for a single week in any city

ing: "Today no one in the world
shall have even one second darkened

city would be transformed and glorl-
fled. It would, after all, mean only
negative goodness, the avoidance of
evil, not real, aggressive, positive,

him to complain.
But cne day things went wrong.

not eat it. He did his best, and left
the table early.

and returned with the news THAT the
proprietor was out.
The following day as we'll as the
one after there Was no Improvement
in the food, and no sign of the pro-

his mind ito see another restaurant.
He decided, however, to give them a
chance, and on Saturday at luncheon
again asked for the owner OF the
place.
"He's gone out, was the reply.
Mr.. Clerklie became bold.
