He Didn't Know How.

It is said that once when Reginald
De Koven was touring the country
he found himself in the town of Day
ton on Sunday. They told Mr.. De
Koven that an Episcopal church in
the neighborhood had superb or
gan. Accordingly he went to that
church, ascended the organ loft and
sat beside the organist during the
mornings service. "You seem to
know something about music" said
the organist, in a condescending way.
"I'u let you dismiss the congrega-
ton, if you like" 'Why, yes" said
Mr.. De Koven, 81 would like that
very much" Accordingly, at the end
of the occasional, he exchanged
places with the organist and began
to play Mendelssohn's 'Spring Song.
He played beautifully. The Dayton
people, enthralled by the wonderful
music, refused to depart. They sat
in rapt enjoyment, and after the
s'Spring Song" was finished Mr.. De
Koven began something of Chopin's.
Suddenly a heavy hand was laid on
his shoulder, and he was pushed off
the music stool. '"You can't dismiss
a congregation, said the organist,
impatiently, watch and see how soon

OTIS ON GEORGE HASTY CASE
Won't Prosecute While Blease is in
Office, Solicitor States.

Spsrtanburg, June 1.-Solicitor J.
c. Otis, of this circuit, stated to-day
that George Hasty would not be tried
for killing the actor, Bennett, who
was shot at the same time Hasty shot
Davidson, in a quarrel over Miss
Sheridan, an actress, until at least
Gov. Blease was out of office. The
solicitor stated that if he secured
conviction that it was possible that
the governor would pardon Hasty
again, and that while the case Woulo
not be mol pressed, it would not be
tried at any early date.

Lost in the Lake.

Our British cousins have been &C
cused of being void of humor FOL
so long that the following yarn is
told to remove the imputation in a
measure. Not. so very long ago an
Englishman, just across, visited
Standpoint, one of the large lumber
ing towns in the Northwest. Prac'
tically the entire town and country
are owned by the Humbird Lumber
company. The Englishman was taker
out into the great pine forests where
immense white pines tower on every
side.
"To whom does this forest be-
long?" he asked.
ITO the Humbird Lumber com
pany," he was told.
He was shown through the large
lumber plant and informed that il
belonged to the HUNDREDS. The fine
bank building, the great department
store, rows upon rows of dwelling
houses, all belonging to the same cor
poratlon.
AS crowning treat he was taken
for spin around Lake Pend d'Ore'
lille in a swift launch. Upon their
return while standing upon the dock
he asked:
MAY I ask who owns this lake?'
''Oh, it belongs to God"
Jaw, really is that so? Now
would you mind telling me how he
managed to get it away from Mr.
Hunbird?"

Passed it on to the Dominic.

"Dr. J. H. Jowett believes it is the
minister's, not the congregation
fault, if the church doesn't CO."
The speaker, member of the Fifth
Avenue Presbyterian church, smiled
and continued:
''Dr. Jowett once told me that he
sided with the old lady who always
went to sleep during sermon time.
"'Why don't you take snuff dur
ing the sermon?' the minister said to
her. That will keep you awake.
why don't you put the snuff in
your sermons, sir?' retorted the old
ady."-Los Angeles Times.

The Folly of Lawsuits.

Whatever else you do, don't get
into a lawsuit over some trifling dis
agreement with a neighbor. The
courts are full of suits which could
have been settled by mutual conces-
sion or arbitration to the great ad-
vantage of all parties except the law
yers in the case. Just the other day
a suit was decided after two or three
years of expense and worry on the
part of two families. 1t was over a
disputed line, as so many such suits
are, and the land in dispute was
probably not worth fifty dollars.
The suit cost the winner 1925, and
the loser, being taxed with the costs,
necessarily had more to pay. 1t is
probable that each party spent at
lest $100 worth of time in monkey
ing with the case.
Another case recently noticed is
where a farmer had right to get
water from a spring on neighbor's
land. He wanted to build a spring.
house, the owner objected. The first
man had got along without a spring
house for years, it would not have
damaged the landowner a penny,
yet an injunction has been issued
and a lawsuit is on. Each party will
probably spend several hundred dol
lars and be no better off, and the old
friendliness of the neighborhood will
be thing of the past.
To begin a suit in court over some
such trivial matter which could east
ly be adjusted by little give and
take, is not only the poorest sort of
business policy a case of wasting
certain dollars to gain possible cents,
but is also a crime against the
community and a foolish waste OF
the best part of life. For what shall
it profit a man if he gain needless
lawsuit only to lose the goodwill OF
his neighbors and his own friendli-
ness towards them?-Progressive

itor replied as follows:

Dear Sir-In reply to yours OF yes
terday enclosing copy of my letter to
Mr.. McGraw, I beg to advise it is
correct copy.
I have not changed my position
since writing that letter to Mr.. Nc
Graw. I have no desire to interfere
in matters wholly within your pre-
rogative as governor.
While l am not able to try MUIR
derers without witnesses, so long as
I am solicitor of this circuit shall
continue to strive to do my whole
duty. Very respectfully yours,
J.C. OTIS,
Solicitor Seventh Circuit.
Just why Mr.. Otis wrote the letter
that caused Gov. Blease to inquire OF
him his attitude in the matter mas
not been determined. It is probable
that he had some reason for writing
as he did to McGraw who is a citl-
zen of Cherokee county and a strong
supporter of the present chief exec
utive. Another case may be brought
into the controversy and some start
ling revelations may perhaps be
made public.
