CAUGHT a Real Goldfish.

Fish stories are rife now, and
under the seductive influence OF
this balmy time new versions
come to light of the same cid stories
We have heard since boyhood days.
Representative Plumley Of Vermont,
Of portentously serious mien, asserted
to a smiling group Of colleagues that
a couple Of seasons ago he lost his
watch and a $40 gold piece overheard
while waiting by a placid pool for a
bite. The next day, he declared I'M
der oath, he caught a Ash in that
self same pool-a gold fish," Of
course-and he found within the
hnny armor of that Vermont bass his
watch. the $40 gold piece, and 80
cents accrued interest.-Joe Mitchell

STRONG AGAIN
GAINS LIBERTY
Was Sentenced for Thirty
Years for Wife Murder.

Mays Landing, N. j., July 19.-Wil-
liam Strong came forth slowly, but
with the light of a great Joy in his
eyes, an aged man. bent with the
weight Of three score and ten years,
and stepped forward as the cell door
OF the county Jail was thrown open by
Turnkey Scott Champion. His cell
mates crowded close to the bars to bid
him goedby.
Are you going to let me go for good,
Scotty p he asked, and as the turnkey
nodded the old man wept tears Of Joy,
while a cheer went up from the threats
of his fellow prisoners.
Convicted q year age for the murder
Of his wife at Nesco in October, 1910,
Strong, an old farmer, was sentenced
to a thirty year term in state prison.
He served about a year., when the
supreme court reversed the verdict and
he was brought back to the county
jail. His counsel, former Judge How
ard Carlow, made a motion before
Justice Samuel Kalisch that the old
farmer be released on his own recogni-
zance, and the state concurrlng,
through Prosecutor @. l.. Goldenberg,
he was set free and left for the home
Of a brother at Glassboro.
The supreme court having ruled out
the evidence Of an alleged confession
extorted from the superstitous old man
by a boardwalk medium" and the ex-
hibition of the dead woman's throat
showing finger prints, the state is pow
erless to convict, and the cas- will
likely never be retired.

The Art Of switching the

You may have Q dinner with tho
best appointment and cuisine, and II
your guests are badly chosen the din
ner will Be Z social failure.
Certain elements will not coalesoA,
and the woman who tries to force the
process IL counting an explosion
Choose guests A. you would shoes
because they IT.
You may be catholic in your taste
and enjoy tho butterfly without a
brain and the woman who is all brain
without social grace, the artist or
musician, the snob who distrusts all
the clever c~oterie. the man who loves
. gay story and the woman who Is
easily shocked.
But gather thoae friends around a
common board and you may count on
their boredom.
II you must have a mixed dinner,
pray for tact In the seating. "A man
cares what he eats, q woman cares
whom she sits next"
Never seat your guests according to
social position. The practice makes
neither the dinner nor the hostess
popular. II you put tho socially unim-
portant together, your entertaining
will never be 4 success.
Custom has 1t that those who sit on
the right and left Of the host and host
ess may feel themselves singled out
for attention-but choose for reasons
Do not give your guests q chance to
gtbe at you a. 4 money worshipper or

Do not have dinners 80 large as to
prevent general conversation. Not all
who 80 out to dinner are blessed with
manners, and the hostess should have
It in her power to go to the rescue Of
the guest who IL neglected by her
neighbors.
Nor should your dinners be long OF
heavy. The day of dozens OF courses
is past; the most brilliant diner-out
finds 1t hard to shine when eating
through an overelaborate menu.
Learn the art OF switching the con-
versation. Many a dinner Ii wrecked
because the hostess does not know
to stop an argument that Is verging
on controversy, and has not the So
cial sense to scent dangerous topics
or sidetrack the ,bore.
Encourage brilliancy and gayety,
but keep a sharp watch for wit that
stings and Jokes that tend to license.

Ebenezer Ham certainly was very hungry country boy from the way he enjoyed bis corued beef and cab bage and also the extra piece Of pie stolen on the sly.

E. church in which the Institute was conducted, is a great man, with love for his race.
 The following resolution was adopted by the teachers who at tended the institute from differ ent parts of the county:
 Whereas the colored teachers and citizens of Clarendon and vicinity have so courteously thrown their doors open to us. and the social functions of said community have been of such inestimable value to us, and the hearts of the members of St. Andrews A. M. E. Church have been touched to tender the use of their church as a place for the institute. Therefore, be it resolved, that we tender to them our sincere thanks, heartfelt gratitude. and love, and we pray for them the blessings of the Redeemer.
