ble in the restaurant of d Broadway hotel near Forty second street.
 The westerner had his samples with him. on the ayup I cOachef him on the capitalists peculidrities. one of which was to insist on paying restau- rant checks all around. The Westeru- er was bit nervous perhaps or inde pendent He'd pay for himself, he said.
 He wanted tO make a nice easy ap prOach after the capitalist had eaten. We were to eat at d table away up at the other end of the big dining room hidden by a pillar. Wed finish our dinner. finger until the capitalists had about finished his meal. then wander past him toward the door. meeting him by chance, and I'd introduce the miner in an offhand way. bringing mp the s750.O0 deal casually
 That was the deal We got our ta- ble all right The capitalist came in to eat alone. as ne usually did We watched him finish eating. I nudged the westerner 10 come along. The west erner wouldn't: he didn't want the stranger to pay his check.
 We tried to get our waiter who was very busy just then. Finally We did get him and then looked for our man. By love. he was gone!
 The westerner was quite discour aged. but I told him the capitalist would be back the next night and to cheer up. I took the man with the mines around to roof garden or TWO that night
 We were on the job the second night No capitalist showed up. l picked up one of the nights papers. quite accidentally ran my eve down the steamer reports and saw him listed as off for Europe that morning. Wed lost him.
 "The westerner was wild. He was quick tempered. too. and we had a sort of row. each blaming the other for missing our man. The upshot of the whole thing was that We broke apart on our deal and lost a possible s2o,- 000. my share of the fee.
 The Westerner lost for that time at least. s460, 900. The capitalist, estimat- ing a a ton net on the big low grade mine. lost s60 .00O. .000 in potential di- vidends This was all because q man insisted on paying restaurant checks for 8 or S4 and another man insisted on paying his Own."-Ne% York Sun.

FASCINATING TALK
 UN JAPANESE LIFE
Miss Florence Bartlett Tells Woma ans Club the Story of Her Jap
 cnese Journey.

It is rare indeed that the Woman s club of Phoenix gives an entertain ment that falls short of an unequiN- ocal success Last nights "Gentlemen's s Evening" at the Arizona School oi Music was no exception to the rule. and it was made one of the most cn- joyable entertainments that the club has given by Miss Florence Bartlett who talked on "Glimps"s of Japan and Her People" and illustrated her story with lantern slides from photographs she took while in Japan.
 In q clear and simple manner Miss Bartlett told of her wanderings in un- frequented parts Of Japan and her eN- periences among q people who are in many respects more interesting than any other nationality in the world. Hei recital of the trip was not tinged with Baedecker nor marred by time tables. With an unusual acumen sine told only the little details of J.panese life. and not the miles travelled.
 Miss Bartlett wore blue kim0na with pink obi and sprays of wisteria of the curtain in the half light and re  ture after another was flashed on the screen. The picture had been taken with a canny sense of composition and artistic values. There were no samples of that reckless spirit usually displayed by tourists who gu a-kodak- ing. who seem to shut their eyes and snap anything that happens to be in front of the lensc. Many Of the sub jects taken by Miss Bartlett, from the same point of view would have de lighted an artist and satisfied his sense of color and composition.
 Speaking of color. Before returning to this country Miss Bartlett had the lantern slides tinted by Japanese and they are as delicate as Dresden china. The common error of gaudinoss has been craftily avoided. one is in low sombre tones fitting the subject. while another photograph shows the tiuts of the morning. Her views of FujiyamI are as fine as any that have been seen ana HokuSai himself could hardly have col0red them better. Ancient temples. the cherry trees in bloom. grotesque stone lanterns. p3S- odas. the daimios and the samurai. fields of the purple iris. tea houses and geisha girls. were some oi the subjects thrown on the curtain while Miss Bartlett told her interesting and u- timate facts about them.
 The entertainment began with the singing Of the somewhat mournlul Japanese anthem by the Wpman's club chorus behind the scenes. The school of music auditorium was crow ded. almost every seat being taken.

KAISER FUND # WHEELER.
Roosevelt Professor Had Long Aud ence With Emperor Before
 Leaving Berlin.

Dr. Benjamin Ide Wheeler. who has just left Berlin for England. has per haps made greater and more favor able impression on the German public than the other Roosevelt professors. During the months he has been here he has been one of the most talked of Americans in Germany. His utterances have been given wide ciculatiOn through the press. and his lectures in the university have been largely at tended
 In addition to his popularity gener- ally, he has perhaps been more often received at court than the other Amer ican educators who have preceded him here. The kaiser took the greatest pleasure in the society of the pro lessor from the great west, which to most Germans is an unexplored coun- try. Two evenings before leaving Dr. Wheeler had farewell audience Of the kaiser. which lasted nearly two hours
 Before his departure Dr Wheeler gave an interview on conditions in the United States and particularly the reasons for the failure of the meat boycott. He also went into the agri cultural conditions and the probable decrease in the eXportatiOn of food products to Germany.-Berlin Letter.

The spring bride of 1910 is especially fortunate in that no one or two fabrics. no form Of dress. and no one veil or flower is arbitrarily insisted upon for her. Fashion puts practically no re- striction upon her, so long as hard, shiny satin surfaces are avoided, the dress form she chooses and the ma terials of which it is composed suit her style. and the effect produced is picturesque.
 Long slender lines which are at their best when worn by young 1.-the figures. are preserved in the present seasons wedding dress, but expections are seen in the way of draped and puffed skirts. flat tunic skirt forms. also in panelled effects, produced generally by the in troduction of lace. These, also lace edged ruches outlining silk or chiffon panels, are characteristic of the late wedding gowns.-Harper's Bazar.

pect.
Ham confessed to Deputy Sheriff
James Burch and again to Deputy
Harrell.
He said robbery was the object.
The negroes. knowing that Mr.. Moye
had nancy to pay off his hands, en-
tered the house when Mr.. Moye was
In Timmonsville. Aleck wellington,
sawmill negro, was sent into the
house to hold UP Mr Moye. When It

Owing to the fact that the office of
Auditor will be vacant and that the
citizens OF this County are to name
someone to fill this position 1 hereby
announce my candidacy for the
same, subject to the rules Of the
Democratic primary.
This is one Of the most important
positions In the county and the fin
ancial condition OF our county de-
pends largely on the safe and thor
ough manner in which this Office IS
conducted.
1 do not believe 1 exceed the
modesty that becomes US all when I
say that I feel assured that can and
will fill the Office acceptably If elect
ed
My years OF experience as an ac-
countant will enable me to 80 conduct
the office as to prove profitable to
the county and a pleasure and pride
to myself.
I am before the voters solely on
my ability to fill the position a-d 10
not want any man T. vote for ms
unless he believes 1 an able 20 ac-
ceptably fill the place
While I realize that some Will vote
against me because Of the following
declarations, yet the voters have a
right to know how l will run the
office II elected. AS to the clerical
work. ! shall use the same care and
business method, that I have always
used in other business. AS to re-
turns 1 wish to say that will not
rest until every particle of taxable
property and every taxable poll Is
on the tax list. There Is a class of
tax dodgers that infest our country.
They come into our town and coun-
ty cross roads every fall with q
stock Of goods and come In compe-
tition with our merchants who are
taxed year by year and when the
money season Is over these wander
ing merchants fold their tents and
quietly steal away. leaving the bur-
dens Of taxation on our land owners.
If l become Auditor these same gen
tlemen will have to walk up to the
treasurer's office and pay their part
or the tax. Another species of tax
dodgers is the man who owns no
property but should pay his poll tax.
Sumter should get five or six thous-
and dollars a year that 1t does not
get from this source and 1 promise
that If elected l will make it hot for
him. Another species is the negro
tenant who owns a cow, mule and
some other personal property and he
Is continually jumping from town
ship to township and never pays one
penny of tax. If 1 become Auditor
he will certainly contribute his mite
towards the government.
[ can only say that if elected
'ii''iA oSC Stll lily Idlli anu energy
for thc best interest Of my county.
In conclusion l wish to say that if
you see fit to support me 1 will ap-
preciate the same and strive with all
my might to deserve your confidence:
but your first duty is to your county
and l only wish you to do to me as 1
always strive to do to others. that Is
study the matter well weigh each
candidate and then vote for the man
whom you honestly believe is the
most competent.
Thanking you for whatever you
may see TT TO do for me l beg to be.
