BIuffing a British Bore.

Arthur Cayill, swimming instructor
at Multnomah Athletic Club, Portland,
sometimes comes through with a keen
ly caustic remark, says the Portland
Oregonian. Recently he sat with some
friends at the Heilig, just in front of a
box in which some near-society folk
were having a theatre party A very
laxative member of the box party was
a nasal-toned young Englshman,
wlcse raucous voice was almost con-
tinuously heard in a succession of in
ane small talk.
Cavil and his friends, just in front
of the box, were having their nerves
worn to a FRAGILE, but all endured the
ordeal in silence until the fog-horn
tones were uplifted in an insistent in
vitation to the rest of the party to
visit his sheep ranch and partake of
the hospitality of the sheep camp
Il should be chawmed, dontche-
know the Englishman was saying,
ITO have you drop in any minute, bit
send me a word ahead, dontcheknow
and I'll kill the fatted calf
"That would be suicide" said Cav
i'll, all too audibly, and throughout the
rest of the play there was peace.

Called Los Bluff.

The greatest buffer in the state Of
Minnesota, says Senator Nelson, was
an Indian up in the lumber regions,
who took great delight in walking up
to people and saying: "Uh, me heap
big Injun. You scared o. me?"
And he was an Indian of consider
able stature, with face about as
pleasant as a gargoyle's, nearly every
body admitted to him that he was in
deed a big Indian, and that they were
sure enough scared of him. This
nearly tickled him to death, and he
kept up his habit of putting his stock
question to everybody who come
along, until one day he walked up to a
tall, raw-boned lumberjack, who had
just come cut of the woods after six
months of log rolling
"Me heap big Injun," said the big
bluff you scared O. me-"
The lumberjack replied by hitting
the interrogation a lick between the
eyes that set him spinning for a
moment like one of those new tangled
revolving barber poles.
That's how scared I am of you, -
remarked the lumberjack, as he bit off
fresh chew of tobacco, you blamed
bow-and-arrow son-of-a-gun."

YEARLY lhN DNNr
A San Francisco woman who was 20
sail for Europe Saturday afternoon on
the Amerlka fingered so long over her
luncheon that the boat nearly got
away without her, says the New York
Sun
The Amerika was to sail at o'clock
and a taxi was ordered for 1:15. The
traveller was entertaining party OF
friends in the Wolcott dining room
and when she was notified that her
equipage was ready said, all right
and resumed her luncheon. The office
clock moved on and the hotel manager
cast a nervous eye upon the minute
hand When the latter pointed to
half past he sent in again
"All right" replied the woman, "it
can wait"
But" said the messenger, 1T is

Good gracious exclaimed the wo-
man, jumping up. q thought it was
only half past twelve" and there was
considerable excitement about the lob
by until she had got into the taxi and
was headed for Hoboken. She just did
make the seeamer.

DON'T BE THIS SORT OF MERCH,
ANT,

A merchant who does not advertise
believes It more profitable to sell to
people who know little about what
the things should cost.
He is content to do without the pat
.ronage of the people who read adver-
tisements-and who thus know prices
and values-if he can get a lucky
share through location or other rea-
sons, of the patronage Of people who
are not educated, by advertisements,
to know"
He realizes that as soon as any of
his patrons become advertisement
readers, he loses their trade-but he
hopes there may be always a great
percentage of shoppers who do not
read advertisements. And he knows
that with such shoppers he stands on
an equal footing with the enterprising
merchant.

RECOGNITION FOR SUMTER.

The acton Of the highway conven-
ton that met in Albany Tuesday in
recognizing the high prestige of Sum
ter county among the counties of Geor-
gla with reference to good roads and
the selection of the name of Ander-
sonyile to head the name of the pro-
posed highway, should afford much
qualification to every citizen OF the
county
The fact that the link of the new
highway included in Sumter county is
even now practically finished should
not cause the people Of Sumter to rest
on their laurels. Sumter's good roads
should be maintained and additional
mileage should be added until there is
not a section of the county, no matter
how small, that is not supplied with
as perfect and as durable roads as
could be desired.
Sumter county's reputation for good
roads is firmly established. OF that
there can be no doubt. By common
consent at the Albany convention the
position and influence of Sumter's del
egation was recognized and reward
ed. The rank of this county in all
rlatters of good roads is supreme and
of long standing
The Times Recorder congratulat5s
the people of Sumter on the large and
representative delegation that was
sent to the Albany convention. Cit
liens from every section Of the county
rallied to the call and ably represent
ed this section in the deliberations Of
that body. Such splendid aggressive
ness and enterprise can achieve any
thing, for every delegate was in his
place and ready to work for Sumter
good.
Such harmony and energetic endeaI-
or is what will make Sumter a still
greater power in the world of good
roads and in every branch of com
mercial progress.
