Horses and Mules
Are Still High

The owners Of live-stock-Horses
and Mules-are once more reminded or
the fact that I represent the Anneri-
can Live Stock Insurance Company, a
concern Of ample strength to make
good its every obligation and the only
concern Of the kind doing business In
South Carolina, and that am prepar-
ed to Insure Livestock against death
from ANY CAUSE at rate that ex-
perience has taught is the lowest that
guarantees safety. The rate Is $500
the 500 q year, II the stock Is not
mortgaged, or 800 IL 1t is. Stock Is
still high, notwithstanding the fact
that cotton Is cheap and 1t would ap-
pear that wise stock owners would not
run the risk Of having to replace q
high priced mule or horse to be paid
for with cheap cotton, II they could
get a strong concern, such as repre-
sent, to stand for at least half the
loss at the rate Of $500 the 500 a
year. No animal over IL years Of age
Is insurable. See me at once.

history down to date, and shows on the
evidence of Bismarck that the Austro-
Prussian war of 1866 was foreseen,
Mile. Couredon Of Paris, predicted in
the most minute terms the Paris ba-
zaar fire in 1897. In Messina in 1908 a
hysterical Italian lady predicted the
Messina earthquake and gave her doc
tor in advance letter warning the king
of Italy what was to take place. The
doctor, thinking it a caprice, kept the
letter, but gave 1t to the king after its
prophecies proved true.
Prophecy, concludes Kemmerich, is
an unquestioned fact in accord fully
with nature. The superstitious people
are not those who believe in 1t, but
those who arrogantly imagine that
all the laws of nature are fully explor-
ed and understood by mankind.-Berlin
Cor. New York Press.

prophecy dates from 1890, some critics
doubt whether it was really uttered in
1900. But even if the later date is
correct, Lenin foresaw German history
200 years ahead. In many other res
poets his predictions about the house
of Brandenburg became true.
The greatest prophet Of the Middle
Ages was Michael Nostradamus, who
hourisheG in the first half of the six
teenth century. He predicted occur
rences to persons then unborn, and
gave their names, and his predictions
were fulfilled. He predicted the adbi-
cation of the Emperor Charles ", the
death of Henri IL, the murder of Henr!
III. He predicted that Louis XIII.
would have a Montmorency executed
'in an unusual place" by an execution
er named Clerepeyne. In 1882, exactly
80 years after the prophecy, was print
ed, a Montmorency was executed on
King Louis Kills orders by a soldier
named Clerepeyne in an unusual
place" (the closed court of Toulouse
City HalD. Neither Montmorency nor
Clerepeyne was born at the time of the
prediction. Nostradamus further pre-
dicted the French revolutionary attack
upon the Tuileries; dealt with Louis
XVI's abortive flight to Varennes, and
gave the name of the innkeeper who
arrested the king. He predicted the
feat of Napoleon III. at Sedan. These
later prophecies were made more than
200 and 300 years before they were
fulfilled.
DR.. Kemmerich goes into two ques-
tions: First, could these events be
reasoned out by a clever student Of
his time? and, secondly, could Nostra-
damus have hit upon them by chance?
He shows that it was absolutely
impossible to reason out isolated events,
like the execution of Montmorency. On
the question of chance, he has had the
collaboration of the mathematical,
Prof. Lindemann. Lindemann, taking
all factors into account, holds that it
is 100000 OOO, 100000 to against Nos
tradamus guessing the names Mont
morency and Clereyepne, and that it is
5000, ,OOO, ,OO0, ,OOO, 100000 to l against
Nostradamus hitting upon the three
names which are rightly given in con-
nection with the French revolution.
in other words, he did not guess the
names. And since his printed books
show the prophecies really were made
hundreds of years ago, there's no al
tentative except to acclaim him as the
most precise and most astonishing of
all the prophets.
Kemmerich gives whole lot of 9TH
er convincing instances. He brings his

Quite Understood.-It was early in
the morning. The park was almost
deserted Henpeck and Meekhen met
"Sir, you are a scoundrel." said
Meekhen.
Henpeck made no reply.
Sir you are an insignificant image
of a monkey" continued Meekhen.
Then he tweaked Henpeck's nose.
Henpeck was still silent.
You are a crawling worm, sir, and
for two pins 1 would tear you asund-
eri" With these words Meekhen took
Henpeck by the right and left whiskers
and pulled in opposite directions until
he grinned like gargoyle.

tor of the unprovoked assault. Il will
not stand by and see a fellow creature
used thus. Stop, sir, before l knock
you down."
Meekhen gave Henpeck glance OF
withering contempt and walked away,
jauntily.
Henpeck turned to his preserver
and spoke "Sir, you must not inter-
fere," he said meekly. ALLOW me to-
explain. The gentleman who has just
passed me is Mr.. Meekhen, the only
friend have in all the world. We
meet here at this time every morning
as we go to business. Mrs. Meekhen
has doubtless been particularly try
ing this morning. That is why he
vents his wrath upon me. I do the
same to him when Mrs. Henpeck is
out of sorts. It's little arrangement
that exists between us, enabling us
to retain our self-respect. without
1t we should cease to be men. But
YOU meant we'll, sir, and thank you.

Gouait was effective when he was
able to locate the plate Min, men
struck In the wrong place to locate
the ball and went back 10 the bench.
But Goulait seemed TO be suffering
from the Goluslon that the plate was

war club was good Tor single, a
snort fly dropped back OF the short
stop, and Meehan raced across the

from third in time and he was caught
at the plate by a perfect peg from
the Champs center gardener.
The Diggers came in from the field

Colligan was retired, Childs to Ed

Potts at the pan after Weinberg had
tapped a roller in his direction.

Goulait opened the seventh with a
