Bjornson's son, in describing the last
hours of his father, writes: Now and
then the bright flame of his humor
fickered up The doctor felt his pulse
and said it was good. With his face
beaming with humor he turned toward
us and said 4 am the first man to die
with a good pulse He said one even
ing-and it seemed as if an old wise
man was speaking with the weight of
experience, Now | could write-yes,
now | could write. for | have been in
the realms of death and have felt the
pain that attends death And when
all of us thought that the Indifference
of death was upon him-my mother,
who always gave him his food, which
he would receive only from her, stood
at the bedside with a brooch on her
breast which she had worn at her con
firmation-then he opened his eyes and
looked at her He smiled, lifted his
hand and touched the brooch. This
was the last sign to the outer world he
was able to give"

The MYTH of the Doones.

How largely Mr.. Blackmore drew
upon his Imagination for the story of
Lorna Doone" is made clear by 4.
W. Hackwood in his book, The Good
Old Times" There were, in fact, no
Doones. The word was simply a local
bogy, modified form of Dane"
memory of the faroff times when the
viking invaders harried the land. ''The
only vestige of actuality discoverable
is faint tradition that fugitive from
the battle of Sedgmoor, to escape the
hangings of Judge JeGrreys, appropriate
ed the ruins of some wretched huts in
recesses Of the BadgwOrthy glen, now
the Doom valley finding there safe
retreat in which he reared a consider
able family, which managed to exc out
living by committing petty depreda-
tons in the district. The last of the
Doones,' an old man and his grand
daughter, are said to have perished in
the snow during the winter of 1900"

lruinu and His Money.

John Hare, the English actor, said
that one of the failings charged to
Irving's account was that of eXtrava-
gance- that he did not know the value
of money. 1t is quite true he did not
know the value of money for himself,
but he knew its value to others. He
knew its value to the poor and help
less, and to these he gave with a
lavish hand.
Once, not long before his death,
playing three nights engagement in
an unpretentious midland town, his
habit was to drive nightly to the thea
ter "a very short distance from his
hoteD in the same dilapidated fly. The
fare was a shilling. The conveyance
was shabby. the driver old, poor and
worn out At the conclusion of the
engagement, on entering his hotel, Irv
ing said to the landlord, "Have you
paid the cabmanW Eyes, Sir Henry"
"What did you give him for himself"
81 gave him half a crown, Sir Henry"
"Give him a sovereign" was the re-
joinder; "he drives very well, and he
doesn't drive often"

With few exceptions there is a mark
ed equality between the length of the
necks and Of the legs of both birds and
quadrupeds, and whether they be long
or short is determined chiefly by the
place where the animal must go for
its food. This is especially noticeable
in beasts that feed constantly upon
grass, in which case the neck has just
a slight advantage in that it cannot
hang perpcudicularly down. Croco-
diles, lizards and fish have practically
no necks. Fowls that feed in the
water also offer an example of this
correspondence between the members.
with the exception of swans and geese
and some Indian birds, which gather
their food from the bottom Of pools
and must have long nccl,s for that pur-
pose, while the short legs make it

A Cold Ride.

All through his life Senator Dolliver
of Iowa had a horror of fast trains
and possible railroad wrecks Once he
was on a train with Vice President
Fairbanks.
Dolliver awoke in the middle of the
night, and 1t seemed to him that the
train was going at terrific speed. He
climbed out of his berth and, arrayed
only in his pajamas, started down the
length of the train to find the con-
ductor and ask him to order the train
run ut less speed. 1t was cold night,
but the senator did not mind that until
the door of his car snapped shut and
locked behind him and he found that
the door of the next coach was also
locked. He rode siXtyfive miles locked
out in the cold of the vestibule before
he could wake up anybody to let him
in. Mr.. Fairbanks finally heard his
cries for help and rescued him.-New
York Tribune.

Joy In Store For Some One.

Among the advertisements in
monthly magazine we find this:
For Sale or Exchange-A fine young
male ,bobcat and female coyote; also
mandolin and pair of fieldglasses.
Such opportunities as this are not
often offered. The fieldglasses most
of us could manage to do without, but
the male bobcat, the female coyote
and the mandolin would 90 far to
make life happy for any reasonable in
dividual. All these are productive of
music, and music gives JOY to all right
ly constituted persons. There are, of
course, some people who cannot play
upon a mandolin, but anybody can
play upon a bobcat or coyote. This
fine chance to get varied and inter
esting collection Of musical instru-
ments will undoubtedly bring many
replies.-Rochester Union and Adver-

Jefferson Davis shrank from the
sight of every form of suffering, even
In Imagination. When the Babes In
the Wood" was first read to him,
grown man. In time of illness, he
would not endure the horror of II.
His sympathy with the oppressed was
almost abnormal, 80 that" says Mrs.
Davis, "it was n difficult matter to
keep order with children and serv-
ants" All this shows that he was
nervous, sensitive, which is terrible
handicap to leader of men. He suf-
fered always from nervous dyspepsia
and neuralgia and "came home from
his office fasting, n mere mass of
throbbing nerves and perfectly ex
haustcd." He was keenly susceptible
to the atmosphere about him. especial
ly to the moods of people, abnormal
" sensitive TO disapproval. Even u
child's dsapproval discomposed him"
And Mrs. Davis admits that this SEN
Eitiveness and acute feeling of being
miSjudgod made him reserved and un-
approachable. 1t made him touchy as
to his dignity also, and there are sto-
ries of his cherishing a crudge for
some insignificant or imagined slight
ard furnishing the author of it.-Gama-

The Latest People,

There is no doubt that the Malays are
among the LATEST people in the world.
Except In rare cases they will not take
the trouble to learn when they are
young, and afterward If they have
learned, they will not exert themselves
to apply their knowledge to any object
which require sustained effort.
That they possess effort is known to
any one who has seen Malays engaged
in any enterprise which savors or
sport They do not mind the trouble
If there is only some risk and excite
ment in the work.-Times OF Malaga

Gaffney Man Held

Charlotte, N. c., Oct 29.-Because
he allowed his prejudice against the
automobile to carry him to the extent
of drawing Il pistol on q passing car
this evening, Sam Whisher, a wealthy
Cleveland farmer, lost his life. Fac
ing the drawn weapon in Whither's
hand and believing, that he intended
earring out his threat, Lucius Ran
dali, a prominent Gaffney, S. c., bus
mess man, shot Whittier twice, killing
him instantly.
The tragedy occurred two miles from
Shelby in Cleveland county. Randall,
who is a native of Cleveland, made
.the trip to North Carolina today to
Wit relatives. On a public road he
met Whittier in his buggy. The latter
slighted, and drawing pistol ap-
preached Randalls machine and an
nounced that he was going to kill MIN.
Randall plead with him. but as he
continued to approach, increasing his
threat, Randall drew his own weapon
and put two bullets in the farmers
head. He then surrendered to the
sheriff. I .o men were not acquaint'

Came Back to DeVOe

County Commissioner E w Fassett
had his house, 322 W 9Th Street, Erie,
Pa, painted Devoe in August 1901.
In March 1902, he had three others
to paint and thought the price too
high. Bought a "just as good" for one
house; the others he painted Devoe.
Said he'd find out by experience.
Guess he did, for he's used Devoe
several times since; he's got the habit:
erndge do 1iuet the cost m g of good paint, wbsn
It's worth about 90 times the diff
ference.
Good is cheap, whatever the price:
and bad is dear, at no price at all; IL
costs too much to put-on.
Devoe is good paint; good paint is
Devoe. There is no other Devoe; there
is no other good raint.

1t seems to US that it would be ad'
visable for the stockholders of our
county fair to consider the proposition
of moving the grounds to point near
the depot; and there is no better time
to consider this proposition than right
now. Lexington has one OF the oldest
and best county fairs In the State.
That it is the best, ell is agreed. we
are satisfied, however, that it could
be made much better by moving the
grounds nearer the station, where 1t
would be convenient to all.

time than the price of cotton. Every
body will agree that the price of cot

raise the price of the staple is by con
certed action on the part Of the pro-
ducers. We are sure that our bankers
will arrange to finance the PROPOSE
ton. They nave the money end they
