The Snccaeefnl Novelist.

TO become a successful novelist it
is necessary TO possess some very ex.
e~eptional Qualities both Of mind and
heart. Even rs noets learn in suffer
ing what thew sing in song. so does
the novelist learn by experience what
he gives to the world in story. And
this is not TO advance the ridiculous
claim that the novelist must neces-
sarily plumb every depth and scale
every height of human feeling before
he can aspire to write conyincingly,
but only that he must at least have
studied life at first hand and OBJ
served things for himself. and brought
an importial judgment. aided by that
semi-divine faculty of intuition which
is born of imagination, to bear upon
the evidence of the things he has seen
and the doing of the people with
whom he has mingled.-Edwin Pugh
in London T. P.'s Weekly.

The Hampton Court Maze.

N~inety-elght thousand persons have
paid a penny each for admission TO
the famous maze at Hampton Court
palace this summer, the largest num-
Der for some years. 1t is estimated
that about % per cent. of these were
foreigners, mostly French and Ger
man. During August $4,000 people
passed through the turnstiles. For a
number of years the takings at the
maze we're the perquisites OF one of
the palace attendants, upon whom the
right to collect and retain them was
conferred by the late Queen Victoria.
Since his death a few days ago the
takings have gone to his majesty's OF.

UNITED STATES TOMBSTONE
Patriotic Indian Rejects Government
Samples and Buys One to suit
Himself.

On the Navajo reservation great eff
forts were made years ago TO induce
the Indians to abandon their custom
of leaving the bodies of their dead
above ground, and to adopt he white
peoples system OF burial. One In
dian agents success, was encouraging,
and arrangements were made by
which the government should supply
neat headstones. A stock of them
was laid in, and no sooner had they
arrived when a tall Navajo appeared.
He looked at the collection, but grunt-
ed No" to each one The agent sug-
gested that, if the red man would in
dictate the special style he wished, it
would be ordered for him.
want United States headstone,
was the laconic response.
The agent was puzzled by this.
What the deuce could the Indian
mean by United States headstone?'
Every effort to ascertain just what
was in his mind met with the in
variable reply: Want United States
headstone."
AL last, fearing that the red mans
ACKNOWLEDGMENT might result unfavor-
ably to the scheme for introducing up
to-date burial methods, the agent gave
some money to the Indian, bidding
him to go and buy the kind of grave
stone he liked.
Some times later a party of hunters
came to the agency. They had been
to the lodge of the Navajo, who had
lost his squaw, and had seen her
grave. At the head of it was posted a
gaudy red and white BARRIERS pole!
This was the Navajo's idea of a
nUnited States headstone. 1t was
as near as he could come to a grave
stone bearing the national coiors, n
MS he was a very patriotic indian, ne

SOME GARDENS OF THE SEA
Submarine Wonders In the Harbor Of
Port Galera, Philippine
Islands.

Port Galera Is one of the most beau.
tiful spots In this part of the tropics
and when the islands are developed
Will be n of Its great show places.
Rugged bluffs alternate with stretches
of cleaning white beaches and the
water is clear as crystal. Cocoanuts
and fan palms line the shore and the
scenery Is distinctly tropical.
Along all the beaches lie a series of
wonderful sea gardens. There are
coral structures of almost every shape
n design imaginable and around
them are gardens and groves of sen
plants and trees. Through them play
hundreds of colored fish, some OF
them brilliant blues. others deep pur-
pie, others white, with curious black
and yellow stripes. The wonderful
clarity of the water permits a perfect
view of all this submarine life.
Under favorable conditions the bot
tom can be seen at go feet and at half
that distance when the water Is still
the smallest objects may be plainly
seen.
lHe toiOillR IL NoHueIluis b1
sand is almost pure white and above
1t are the greens, blues, reds and vel
lows Of the coral plants and rocks. and
these effects are further heightened by
the wonderful painted fish that play
around.
Men who have seen the sea gardens
at Bermuda. the Bahamas and Catta-
lima declare that those of Port Galera
are quite as wonderful and marvel
thata they are so little known.
Governor General Forbes visited the
port some time ago. and so interested
has he become that he has ordered a
glass bottom boat, In which he intends
10 make a more thorough exploration.
Port Galera is 80 miles from Manila
and, although it Is close to Verde
Island channel, is not visited by many
steamers.

cause they have passed the years OF

c%ussions in some of the conferences.
notably the NJ. Il. conference held at
Evansville last week. ministers who
do not enter the profession until they
reach or pass forty-fve will come UNI
der the same restriction to a certain
extent, or at least be discouraged.
If these restrictions continue what is
to become of the maj of forty-five
or over who has not found a place
in life or who may desire to change
his trade or profession at that period?
The theory that his period of efiicien-
cy is passed is pure fiction. The real
trouble is whether he will be able
to work long enough to entitle him
to the same pensions on quitting that
those are entitled to who have given
their whole life to a trade or profess

of pension and insurance schemes
should be so adjusted SO that thePe

COST HIM MONEY TO FALL
BalIoonist Drops in at Football Game
and Admission Fee Is
Demanded.

DR.. Eldridge, the Philadelphia aero
maui, who recently broke the time and
distance record. says that the sport
is. he believes, one that takes less
money from the spectators than any
other.
Some sports, he declared, are com
mercial propositions purely and sim
ply, but in the main ballooning Is a
free spectacle. In baseball n o
ball, he points out that they are play
ed for money, and he says the efforts
10 get a paying crowd would shame
the energy of the circus proprietor.
Apropos of his thought, he told the
following story.
"A certain balloonist, who had met
with some sort of a mishap and who
was compelled TO come down in a
hurry, and with little choice of a land
ing place. threw oyerboaord his drag
rope rs he came to a great field.
'The anchor caught in a fence and
the jar shook the balloonist from the
car and he fell to the ground, a dis
lance Of 20 or 80 feet.
The field on which he fell was
being devoted to a football game be
tween riyal colleges. and when he
came to. after being literally sprln-
lded with water, the managers of the
teams' came to him and demanded
that he pay so cents.
What for?' asked the dazed and
shaken |balloonist.
Admission fee replied the man
ayers.

The Optimist.

The lighthearted, buoyant nature
which looks for brightness every
where, and finds It, too, refuses to
take itself seriously, and deyotes
itself TO gathering ED the smiles while
leaving the tears for others. 1t may
be true that such natures really get
the best out OF life and leave the
brightest impressions upon their fell
low men, but when it Genes to the
consideration of the serious questions
which inevitably come up for discus
sion, they seem 10 mislead others as
to their real value. We are not likely
to look for wise counsel or sympathet-
ic appreciation in those wnom we
have been accustomed to regard as
possessing s~unny-weather DISPOSE
tions; we feel assured that the light,
in~substantial framework of their ma
lures cannot withstand the buffeting
of the wild storms of distress which
sometimes sweep in upon us from un-
expected quarters, and we instructive
ly look for help to the sterner. deep

Why does Great Britain buy
its oatmeal of US?

Certainly it seems like carrying
Goals to Newcastle to speak of export
ing oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every
wear the Quaker Oats Company sends
hundreds of thousands of cases OF
Quaker Oats to Great Britain and
Europe.
The reason is simple; while the
English and Scotch have for centuries
eaten oatmeal in quantities and with
regularity that has made them the
most rugged physically, and active
mentally of all people, the American
has been eating oatmeal and trying all
the time to improve the methods OF
manufacture so that he might get that
desirable foreign trade.
How well he has succeeded would
be seen at a glance at the export re-
ports on Quaker Oats. This brand Is
without a rival; is packed in regular
packages, and in hermetically sealed
tins for hot climates. 81

received for last year was $202. al

of the State are using more fertili :
er or that the companies expect
larger sales than in previous years.
There is a tax of 25 cents on every
ton of fertilizer sold. 1t is expected
that 1000, 900 tons will be sold be-
fore the end of the year.

ers' representatives have now made

out the thirty days notice which is
allowed by law. The complaint filed
with the interstate commission was
TODAY forwarded to Traffic Manager

which. after being signed by all the

changed with the usual thirty days
notice it would be too late to affect
this years crop, which is now al

truck growers want is an i'm

Rad FOR BABY COUNTY.
Sensational Charges of Bribery
I'm Recent Election.

Dillon, April 9:-The news that
the conditions which existed in the
primary election here had reached
the Attorney General has created a
sensation in Dillon. There are many
speculations as to whether the At
torney General will investigate and
if he does what the result will be.
There are some who believe that
an investigation would lead to con-
victions, while others think that it
would be a fruitless effort.
There are many who assert that
they know of irregularities which
could be proved beyond doubt and
that the evidence would not be
hard to obtain. This has reference
to the fraudulent use Of whiskey,
money, beer and alcohol.
This, the arguments produced IN
dicate, would apply to some of the
officers elected and to some of the
candidates defeated. All the can
didates who were in the field had
many enthusiastic friends and when
it came to the last primary there
can be little question but that ex-
treme measures were used by both
candidates and friends to elect their
choice.
To say that this kind of work met
with the approval of the people
would create wrong impression.
It is deplored by many citizens who
believe that an election so full of
corrupt practices will never again
be tolerated in Dillon.
Charges have been made that
within so yards of the Dillon pol
ing place there was liquor, and a
plenty of it, and that it was used
by political aspirants in getting
votes.
1t is charged again that money
was placed in the hands of certain
individuals with the understanding
that certain precincts were to be
carried for certain parties. The
election as a whole is looked upon
by many of Dillon's best citizens
as q shame and disgrace.
It is alleged that one individual
received as much as $4OO for his
services at one precinct. 1t is al
legged that certain POLITICIANS offered
definite sums to individuals provid-
ed that they carried certain pre-
cincts.
There is one member of the court
house commission whose conduct in
the last primary election is now
being investigated. The charge is
that he accepted bribes from Ger
tain aspirants for Office for his vote
and influence. The commission pre-
fers at present withholding the
name, Notwithstanding it is being
generally talked.
) In the case above named there
has been no final action, as the case
is in the hands of a committee who
win make a report at the next
meeting.
