and see the plumb finish of a thing"
explained Yancy. otherwise you're
frequently put out by hearing of what
happened after you left; can stand
anything but Disappointment of that
kind"
They passed from room to room, Sc
curing doors and windows, and at last
stepped out upon the back porch.
"Hullo!" said Yancy, pointing.
There on a bench by the kitchen
door was a small figure. 1t was Han
nibal Wayne Hazard asleep, with his
old spotin' rifle across his knees. His
very existence had been forgotten.

Crenshaw.
What are you going to do with
him, Mr.. John?"
This question nettled Crenshaw.
II don't know as that is any partic-
ular affair Of mine," he said. Now,

old rifle" Mr.. Crenshaw had appear
ed with bundle, which he tossed into
the cart. Yancy turned to him. IF
John, reckon you may say that my
nevvy's gone TO to pay me a visit.
Most of his time will be agreeably
spent shootin' with this rifle at a
mark, and me holdin' him so he won't
get kicked clean off his feet"
Thereafter beguiling speech flowed
steadily from Mr.. Yancy's bearded
lips, in the midst of which relations
were established between the mule
and cart, and the boy quilted the Bar
ony for a new world.
DO you reckon If Uncle Bob was to
let you, you could drive, sonny?"
Can she gallop?" asked the boy.
Mr.. Yancy gave him a hurt glance.
"She's too much of lady to do
that" he said. mo, I low this amt
so fast as running or walking, but it's
a heap quicker than standing stock

The afternoon sun waned az they
went deeper and deeper into the pine

ANCESTRY.
Some Famous Personages to Whom IT
Meant Nothing.

m0dnI NOSIliiS'
The making famous of the express
sion. Il am my own ancestor" Is US
ually credited to Andoche Junot, for
time marshal of France. Junot had
risen from the ranks, and became the
Duke of Abrantes and an impt rtant
figure at Napoleon's newly-ft rmed
court. One day a nobleman OF the
old regime asked him what was his
ancestry. 'Ah, sir" replied the spir-
tied soldier, Il know nothing about
1T. l am my own ancestor Proba-
bly, he had never heard OF the similar
remark made by Tiberius about Cur
titus Rufus. He seems to me to De
descended from himself"
Napoleon's reply to the emperor or
Austria was in a kindred vein. Ihe
Austrian when Napoleon became MS
prospective son-in-law would faln
have traced the Bonaparte lineage 10
some petty prince of Treviso. am
my own Rudolph OF Hapsburg, salo
Napoleon. Under similar clrcuin-
stances Napoleon silenced geneaio-
gist. Friend my patent OF nopiilty
dates from Montenotte.' his first great
victory.
When Ipichrates, the Athenian gen.
eral, had 1t cast up in his face Dy
descendant of Harmonious that he was
a shoemaker's son he calmly replied:
THE nobility Of my family begins
with me: yours ends with you.
Almost the same words were useu
by Alexander Dumas when asked II
he were not descended from an ape
Covert sneer at his negro grand
mother), Very likely my ancestry be-
gins where yours ends"
Voltaire in his "Merope" says:
1.-The first to become king was sue
cessful soldier. He who serves well
his country has no need Of ancestry.

seen one passenger, a woman. Now
that mule is slow, Mr.. John; I'm free
to say there are faster mules, but a
set of harness never went acrost the
back of a slower critter than that one
of mine" Yancy, who thus far had
addressed himself to Mr.. Crenshaw,
now turned to Bladen. THAT mule,
sir, sees good with his right eye, but
it's got a gait like it was looking TO-
the left-hand side of the road and
wondering what in thunderation had
got into it that it was acrost the
way; mules are gifted with some
sense, but mighty little judgment"
Never mind the mule, Bob" said
Crenshaw.
IF l can't make the gentleman be-
lieve in the everlasting slowness Of
that mule Of mine, my story amt
worth a hill Of beans" said Yancy.
1.-The extraordinary slowness Of the
mule Is accepted without question, Mr..
Yancy," said Bladen.
I'm obliged to you," rejoined Yam

- Chester, November 12: Mr.. b. E.
Pool Of Columbia. has been given the
contract to build a sand-clay road
from the overhead bridge on the Sa-
luda road to Uriel church, and will
enter upon his job Immediately. Rights
of-way have been secured that will
permit Of all bridges being removed.
II being the intention to grade so as
to make bridges unnecessary. Saluda
road, or rather that portion between
Chester and the York county line, Is
being given a thorough working, II be-
ing the plan Of Chester and Rock Hill
citizens to have an up-to-date auto
mobile highway between the two
cities. Just how the portion of road
between Chester and the overhead
bridge will be worked Is not known
yet. but this will probably be let out
by contract also,

RuMoRED CHANGE OF TIME.
New Schedule Said TO 30 Prospective
On Northwestern

A rumored change OF time. but how
authentic the Times Republican was
not able to learn, is current in Chicago
& Northwestern circles. Efforts to gain
any, definite information thru City Pas
se,lgeT ana Ticken Agent J. +. Tai
lett. met with the reply that he didn't
know anything about it.
The principal change in prospect. ac-
cording to the rumor, is in No. 10. the
Los Angeles express. due thru this city
at 5:35 D. m. The length OF this train
which is at present excessive, is to be
reduced and the time shortened be-
tween Chicago and Omaha by cutting
out some Of the present stops. Accord l.
ing to the report in circulation the
train will leave Chicago an hour and
ten minutes later, at 11:10 a. m, and
reach Omaha fifteen minutes later. at
1880 instead Of 11:l5.

jREAL POLITICS WON
MRS. ROBERTSON
Every Art of Game Employed
by D. A. R. Delegates to
Defeat Mrs. Gaar.

In an exciting contest on Thursday
afternoon at the Propylaeum, in Indi.
annapolis. Mrs. Frances Haberly-Rob.
etson. of Fort Wayne. defeated Mrs.
w. w. Gaar. OF this city for the Office
of state regent OF the Daughters of the
American Revolution. The occasion
was the closing day OF the annual con-
vention Of the state ID. A. r.. which
has been In session at indianapolis
since Tuesday. A large number Of
Richmond people attended the conven-
ton, and were much disappointed at
the result Of the election.
When the local delegation arrived in
Indianapolis. they found that the Rob-
ertson faction had established politi-
cal headquarters in one Of the hotels
and were prepared to do everything
to secure the victory for their favorite.
The evening before the election
friends Of Mrs. Robertson either saw
personally or telephoned every dele
gate to the convention, and asked
them openly to vote for the Fort
Wayne candidate. As soon as the Rich
mond women realized what tactics
their opponents were pursuing, Mrs.
Gaar offered to withdraw her candi-
dacy. but was prevailed upon by her
friends to continue in the running
Mrs. James NJ. Judson, vice-regent
OF the Richmond chapter, made the
speech nominating Mrs. Gaar. Her
speech was we'll applauded and the
nomination was enthusiastically re-
ceived by the meeting. The ballotinr
however. showed eighty-four votes for
Mrs. Robertson. and thirty-four for
Mrs. Gaar. Mrs. Charles w. Fairbanks,
who has all the time been a hearty ad-
herent to the Richmond cause. gave a
cheerful post mortem" talk after the
voting, in which she said that some
other year the ballots might not run
the same way. and that she hoped the
delegates had chosen a good woman
for the office.
The minor ofiices were filed without
opposition. Mrs. William A. Cullop, of
Vincennes. was chosen vice regent,
Mrs. e. Carnahan. state secretary, and
Mrs. 8. e. Perkins, of Indianapolis,
state treasurer. At the invitation of
Mrs. James NJ. Fowler, the 1912 con-
ventiaon will be held in Lafayette.
BY change which was made in the
