When the language of business is applied to the practices of politics, as in this from Success Magazine, the effect may be instructive as we'll as startling.
 Two negro men came up to the outskirts of crowd where a sena- tor was making campaign speech. After listening to the speech for about ten minutes, one of them turned to his companion and aasked, ''Who am dat man, Sambo ?"
 "Ah don know what his name am," Sambo replied, but he cer- tainly do recommen' hisself mos highly"

THE SNAIL AND THE SCREW.

It is no doubt true that nearly all human inventions have been suggest ed by natural objects. Mons. Charles Fremont, of the French School of Mines, points out an interesting ex- ample in the case of the screw, the fundamental idea of which, he be- lieves, was suggested to primitive man by the spiral shell of the edible snail. It was not the shape of the shell that suggested the screw, but the spiral motion which it is neces- sary to give to the body of the snail in order to withdraw it from the shell. This at once showed that an object of screw shape embedded in a solid powerfully resisted attempts to withdraw it by straight pull. The hint was'enough, and the screw became one of the earliest of mans inventions.-Youth' Companion.

STRAUSS LED THE STORM
Col. Hlgsinson Tells Story of Musician and Ills Banging, Crashing
 Music.

''The late Thomas Wentworth Higginson," said a Harvard instruct or, ''loved music, but not the ex- tremely technical music of Richard Strauss, Ravel and others of that type. Concerning Strauss and his banging, crashing music, Colonel Higginson used to tell a story. He said that Strauss went one summer on hunting trip in the mountains. It chanced that on a certain after noon a terrific thunderstorm de- scended on the hunting party. Amid earsplitting thunder and binding lightning, amid deluges of rain whipped by a roaring wind, the huntsmen all sought shelter. Where, though, was Strauss? Three friends set out in alarm to look for him. They feared that hp the wild chaos of the storm he had fallen down a precipice. After a long while they found him, they found him doing what do you suppose? Strauss stood bareheaded on the summit of lofty crag. The lightning played about him in vivid violet flashes; the rain deluged him; the thunder rolled and rumbled around him; the roaring wind Tapped his coattails about his head; and the musician, ramrod in his hand, was busily engaged on his high crag in conducting the thunderstorm 1"

SWINDLERS USE OLD TRICK
TenderIoln Character Pays $500 for Six GIltterIng Pieces of
 Glass.

Two smooth swindlers, who posed as thieves, but were really patrons of a Market street dealer in cheap jew elry, have feeced a number of Ten derloin characters of large sums of money in the last two weeks through applying modern methods to an old trick. One of their victims, William Snyder, proprietor of a resort in North Ninth street, has appealed to the police for the arrest of the men, in hopes of recovering the $500 they got from him for six pieces of glass, which he mistook for diamonds.
 At the suggestion of the swindlers Snyder took two of the diamonds to pawnbroker, who offered to lend him $350 upon them. Snyder has, tened back to where the swindlers were waiting and said that he would buy the six for $500. But one of the rogues, pretending to suspect that Snyder had carried information to the police, snatched the two stones from his hand and moved as though determined to depart.
 Snyder, fearing to lose the chance to buy the diamonds, hastily bor- rowed $500 and gave it to the strangers. In return, they handed him six glittering pieces of glass. It was not long after their departure that Snyder discovered that he had been swindled.-Philadelphia North American.

DIGNITY OF PUBLIC OFFICE
Glossary of Words Used In Ordinary Debate by New York Law
 makers.

For the benefit of the large num- Der of students of parliamentary practice, senatorial procedure and all the dignifed details of lawmaking as conducted in this state, we have collected from various reports of the recent debate in the state senate over the highway bill the following gloss ary of words useful in orderly dis cussion: Snake, hyena, swine, bull, squealer, welcher, liar, thief, hog, mug, swill, fiphap.
 For the purposes of accuracy it should be noted that the ''hog" was blind" the bull ''red-eyed" and that ''black perfdy" was honored by distinguished mention. Nor should there be the slightest suggestion of any partisan or geographical su- periority in vocabulary. Saratoga and the Bowery divided the honors.
 Such debates as this permit a pa- triotic people to behold in its proper setting the true and inherent dignity which public office bestows upon all those who, even for the briefest time, occupy it-New Ytrk Sun.

WASHED AWAY BY BIG WAVE
Sad Story of the Demise of Lizzie tHe Cat and Rags the Spanish
 Poodle.

Peter Jacobson, second mate of the steamship Amelia, leaned deject- edly over the side and refused to be comforted.
 "Yes," he said to inquirers, 'Iiz- zie is dead"
 Deep silence in the presence of grief.
 "She was tortoise-shell cat, with one ear chewed off," the mate ex- plained. "She wasn't any beauty, I'll admit; neither was Rags, but they were the pride of the ship. Rags was black Spanish poodle-at least, he looked more like that than any, thing else He and Liz used to eat out of the same dish and play around on the deck like brothers. We'll, De- cember 30, off Cape Hatteras-I can give you the date because the story is all down on the log-he and the cat were up forward trying to find out whether the captains Sunday socks would tear or not.
 "Along came wave that slammed up over the rail and right across the deck. Rags and Liz went right into the sea-"
 Then Peter looked into the dis- tance and said nothing.
 Yep, Lizzie was dead.-New York Evening Post.

HAD COLD FEET AND CORNS
Trouble That Made Mike, the Black Bear, Cry All Day Diagnosed
 by Park Policeman.

Mike, the black bear in the Gen. tral park menagerie, had cold feet, and as a result cried all day. His trouble was diagnosed by one of the park police who has "pounded" the menagerie walks for a number of years. In that time he has never missed in his prognostications.
 ''I tell you he's got cold feet. That's all there is to it." he said. "And his corns hurt him, too. If you walked around on that concrete floor for all the years that Mike has you'd have corns also"
 Maybe he stepped on a tack" the keeper suggested.
 q should say not. If bear ever stepped on tack he would sit down and pull it out. That's a genuine case of cold feet and corns, believe me. What you want to do is to get that bear hot brick right away"
 As there were no hot bricks avail able, Mike had to roll up in some straw in his den to get relief from the cold flooring of his cage.-New York Tribune.

AN INGENIOUS REPLY.

A hostess, whose friends had ar- rived unexpectedly, got up an im- promptu dinner party, and was com- pelled to send to the nearest bakery for some tarts. All went on well un- til the hostess, unluckily wishing to show off by pretending not to know what was at her own table, pointed to the dish with an air of great dig nifty, and inquired, "John, what are these tarts?" Whereat John, in the innocence of his heart, looking at the tarts in a commercial rather than a culinary point of view, brisk ly replied, "Five cents apiece, ma'am."

Fired Four Shots.

Branchville, Dec. pa. M.
Dantzler fired four shots at negro
by the name of West in Edwards
street on Thursday but luckily none
of the shots took effect and West is
none the worse off for his expert
ence. Both of the principals were
placed under arrest and fine of
$40 was placed on Dantzler by the
mayor of the town.
The row started in the store Of
S. S. Byrd and was precipitated, it
is stated, by dispute over a sum
of money which DAIMLER is claimed to
have said West owed him. The ne
gro acted in a most disrespectful
manner and when he did so Dantzler
hit at him with a board. The negro
got out of the way and backed out
of the store. The fuss was renewed
on the street and here it is said
Dantzler claims that the negro threy
his hand to his hip pocket as if to
draw revolver. When he did so
Dantzler drew a pistol and began
firing. A bystander knocked the(
hand of Dantzler up and all four
shots went wide of their mark. The
negro is said to have had no pistol
on his person when taken in GUS
tody.
Branchville's postal bank will be
open for business on January IL.
All of the papers for same are now
in the hands of Postmaster Byrd.

JURY EXONERATES CONSTABLE.
Acted in SeIf-DefenCe and in Dis.
charge of Duty.

Summerville, Dec. 26.-S. P. Mil
Ter, constable for Magistrate Driggers
and acting assistant marshal, who
shot and killed a man named Nc
Cants, was declared to have acted
justihably by jury yesterday, at
the inquest, it being the opinion Of
the coroner's jury that Officer Miller
acted in the discharge of his duty
and in self-defence, when he fired
the fatal shot that caused McCants's
death.
According to the testimony offered
the jury, it seems that Officer Miller
was trying to arrest McCants, for be-
ing disorderly in the town limits, on
the north side of the Southern Rail-
way tracks, when McCants raised his
gun to shoot Miller. A bystander
knocked McCants's hand into the air,
and the load of his gun passed harm
lessly over Miller's head. It was
then that Officer Miller, seeing his
life in danger, fired at and killed Nc
Cants, death following the shot al
most instantly.

act for him in his absence from the

country she gained much newspaper

stead she has made good friends far
and wide over the country by her
never failing courtesy.
On December 4 she handed over
the badge of Office and revolver pre-
sented to her when she was sworn in
and became society girl once more,
being honor guest at many affairs
given by girl friends.
