Couldn't Shoe the Widow Off.

Miss Minnie McCracken, young
lady of twenty summers, who lives
in Pennsylvania, has sued Samuel
Leroy Porterfeld, q railroad engl-
neer on the Ressemer and Lake Erie
Railroad, for $1,000 damages for
breach OF promise to marry her. The
New York World says that the engf-
neer and the lady agreed upon a
code, one toot OF the locomotive
whistle meaning, 81 love you dear
w." two toots, "Be back tonight, I"
and three toots, Marry you tomor-
row." When the three tOOts were
sounded, Miss McCracken got her
trousseau ready and waited, but
waited in vain for her lover, who
went off and married another girl, a
dashing widow down at Clarion.
Hence the suit for damages. But
what was the engineer to do when q
widow got on the track, and he found
that the only way he could shoe her
off was to take her in?

A Sensible View.

Did you ever stop to think that
towns are competitors just as mer-
chants are? So strong has competi-
ton between towns become that it is
necessary for the towns which expect
to grow to advertise and elbow their
wares" just as merchants and other
business men do. The citizens of a
town can advertise the town by
talking it up" Don't knock your
town any more than you would
knock your store if you were a mer-
chant. After all, the town is only a
large corporation and the citizens
are the stockholders. Do you want
good dividend? II you do, talk
your town.-Exchange.

Destroy Nitrate of Soda Sacks.

The Fort Mills Times warns farm
ers mot to leave empty nitrate OF
soda sacks lying in and around their
barns or other out-houses. AS long
as the sacks are full of the soda,
they are damp and there is no dan
ger from fire. AS soon as the sacks
are emptied- they become dry and
will ignite under certain conditions.
Many a farmer, it is said, has lost
his property from this cause, and
has never known the cause of the
fire. Certainly, if the empty soda
sack is so dangerous a thing as that,
it should not be left near barn or
building OF any kind. The creek is
the best place for it. u

Poisoned By Ink.

A Wholesale poisoning took place
near New LONDON, in Stanley county,
one day last week when whole train
crew partook OF buttermilk causing
ptomaine poison. With view to a
good dinner quantity OF fresh milk
was placed in the cooler on the en-
CINE OF a freight train.
In some way the milk became in
fected and the entire party, with the
exception of the conductor, had n
narrow escape from death. The sui
ferers include the engineer, fireman
and two brakemen. The only mem
Der of the party to escape was con-
ductor C. A. Surratt, who did not
partake OF the milk. Soon after the
dinner all were seized at the same
time with the poison and a physi-
clan worked hard for four hours.

Rainbow at Night.

Did you ever see rainbow at
night? A dispatch from Baltimore,
Md, says that passengers on the
Baltimore and Carolina steamer
came into port Monday, making a
great "boog-a-boo" over seeing a
rainbow at midnight the night be-
fore. They were completely mysti-
fed and wondered if such phenom-
enon had ever occurred before. Not
one on board, although many of
them had long followed the sea, had
ever seen a rainbow at night. The
rainbow at night has all the usual
colors that it has in the daylight
and looks even more brilliant.

SpanieIs.

Spaniels, of which there are
many breeds, are supposed to have
first come from Spain, from which
circumstance is derived their dis
tinctive name. Charles I. was an
ardent admirer of small variety
of this animal, and from that arose
the designation of his pets, known
the world over as King Charles.
Blenheim OF Marlborough spaniels,
which greatly resemble the latter in
form and general appearance, get
their English name from Blenheim
palace, in Oxfordshire, where the
breed has been preserved since the
beginning of the eighteenth CEN
fury.

Pats Retort.

A one legged Welsh orator nam

bantering an 1rishman, when the
latter asked him:
"How did you come to lose your
leg?"
"Well," said Jones, con examin-

descent I found there was some
Irish blood in me and, becoming
convinced that it was settled in the
left leg, I had it cut off at once"

"klcking the Bucket"

When we speak facetiously of some
one of whom we have no reverence as
having clicked the bucket" we en-
ploy a phrase that would seem to be
a piece of latter-day slang, but as a
matter of fact, it dates back to old
England, when about the year of
1925, one Bosolver hung himself to
a beam while standing on the bot
tom of a bucket and then kicked the
bucket away. Although at first
used only in cases OF suicide it has
been applied in the course of years to
any death without distinction.-Ex-
