THE PAYING OF BILLS.

1t is the first of the month and the
bills that you owe are coming due
that is the bills that you can pay
with money.
Have you any other kind OF bills
that are coming due, bills that you
may dodge this month but will surely
be memorable in the end?
A person struggling in age against
the bills of poverty brought on by ex-
travagance, the bills of ignorance in
vited by sloth. or the bills of enmities
incurred through chickering's and
WEAKNESSES in former years. is to be
most sincerely pitied: for he is pay
ing an unavoidable debt to a collec-
tor who is as pitiless as he is regular
in his visits.
No man can escape him, for he
|preys upon the mind, at whose doors
no sentinels can be placed, or guards
established, capable of warding OF
his approach or resisting his attacks.
No impudence can deliver and no
battlements avail against his sure in
Fiction of punishment, for he holds
the Just balances of the All-Powerful
in his hands.
In the market of the mind the wise
man will choose to secure those things
worth while which must be paid
for In advance. He will choose edu-
cation, the fruits of which cannot be
plucked. save in the Joy of studying,
until many years OF toll have been
undergone and many gallons OF
Standard Oil consumed. He will
choose temperate living, because ol
which he must deny himself the riot
GUS cheer of many a midnight de-
bauch, and permit the hot sports ri
the town to fly past him in the socia
whirl on many an evening when he
himself would rather hurry by; OF
to sit up at the bedside of a FRIEND
when he would rather go to show
at the theater
He will choose many times to bs
decent when the flesh and blood CT,
out for carnival of indecency, to b.
honest when the temptation to &C
lcept an illegal rebate is well nigh K
lstrong to be resisted, to be energeti,
when he has the spring fever, to b,
forgiving after insult, kind to tn,
and charitable to those withou
mercy; but, in it all, he will at al
times choose the things worth while
the things that will bring him com
fort and satisfaction in the day whel
the silver cord shall be loosed an,
the golden bowl be broken. And Il
so doing he will pay in advance TO
the successes of life.

THIS EGG TRAVELLED FAST.

An egg that was laid by a hen at
Longansport the latter part of Febru-
airy was sold to firm of produce deal
ers at Flora on March 1. and on March
~ il became a sandwich in a restaur-
ant at Providence, r. /. This is not
only travelling some" but it indicates
that all eggs do not find their way into
cold storage.
When Flora sold the egg he marked
it with his name and address and ship
ped it to Flora, a town with the same
name as himself. Thence the egg was
sent east. Flora says he is greatly
disappointed that it did not fall into
the hands of some pretty girl. but the
letter he received indicates that it was

WOULD PRsMP FOR THE ELKS.
Mayor Foster has made a novel sug-
gestion for great white way in
Anderson. His idea is that the an
nual cleanup of alleys and back yards
be completed before the state meet

22 to "a, and that there be liberal ap-
plication OF whitewash or white paint
on alley fences. He believes that there
will be sufficient decoration for the
fronts of business buildings and resi-
dences for Elks week but he thought
! the aIlays could be improved by whit
ening them.

Then, as the turmoil began to die
down. Oates tried to revive it, by the
most atrocious charge OF all. He ac-
cused the queen-a meek, pious. gen.
tie little woman whom her husband
had neglected and ill-treated-of con-
spring to poison King Charles. The
public once more howled with fury.
Parliament tried to force the queen
to leave court. Charles had the de-
cency to put stop to this tale by de-
clarlng his wife innocent.
Later, when Charles ii. died and his
brother, James H., came to the throne.
Oates was convicted OF perjury. A
strange sentence was passed upon
him For state reasons 1t was deem
ed best not to execute this "conspir-
acy inventor" who had caused SO many
better men to die. Instead, II was
decided TO put him to death In anoth-
err fashion He was sentenced to pay
a heavy fine, then to be clapped into
the pillory "a rude wooden contriv-
ance in which captive's head and
hands were fastened, while he was
kept standing for hours exposed to
public view), to receive a whipping.
and then to be imprisoned for life, be-
| ing taken from his cell five times a
| year to be pilloried again. AS Oates
was sixty-five years old, 1t was thought
the terrific beating would kill him.
| But ne was tough He received LOO
lashes OF the whip and was 80 mangled
that he had to be dragged back TO pris-
on on a sledge. In spite OF this treat
ment he recovered.
/ Three years later. in 1885, when
James ii. was deposed and William OF
Orange became king OF England. one
of Williams earliest acts was TO par
don Oates and to give him royal PEN
sion OF 1900 q year.
II is hard TO understand how any
monarch, in the light Of Oates crimes.
could have issued such pardon and
pension. Yet the fact remains. The
old perjurer lived on In comfort (vain-
ly trying to stir up new plots now

EAGLES IN COMBAT.
Fury Of the seIIiserent Birds In Their
Duel In the Air.

An old time observer in Maryland
says that the Eastern Shore eagles can
fly faster, remain in their lofty fight
longer and descend from it TO the earth
with more velocity than any other Gre
ated thing with wings. He also says
that the fierceness OF the eagles and
the tenacity and power of clutch they
beyond belief, and he cites as an in
stance Of 1t fight between two of the
big birds that he once saw.
Just what melted the two eagles TO
the combat this spectator Of the fight
did not know, but they came together
high in the air. A long time the two
fierce birds fought with beak and
talon and wing, rushing upon one an
other, delivering their blows and re
treating for advantage in a new at
tack Then at last they clinched and
fought at close quarters.
In that position they came plunging
to the earth, but neither made any eff
fort to stay the fall. so desperately in
tent was each on the savage battle
They struck together in the freshly
turned furrow of a plowed field, and
the impact failed to separate them oi
to cause an instant's delay in the fight
and the coming on the scene of mar
with a club, with which he at once
took part In the battle, did not distract
their attention from one another, anC
the man killed them both. Their tai
ons were buried so deeply in each 9th
er's flesh that to separate the tive
beIligerent eagles 1t was necessary t.
cut of their legs.-New York Sun.

the son OF an English weaver. He be
gan life as q Baptist clergyman, was
driven out of his church for perjury
and became a chaplain in the British
navy. He was dismissed from this
service for gross misconduct and went
to study for the priesthood in Jes-
uit college. Here he was found TO
be vicious, hypocritical and worthless,
and was expelled in disgrace. Thus
in 1878, at the age of flfty-nine, he
was cast upon the world to pick UP
a living by his wits. Already he had
been branded as a blackguard, but
now his real career of deadly mischief
was beginning.

In a few careless questions exposed Il
as not only false but utterly absurd.
Oates was not discouraged. Failing

his charges were true. The govern
