Lost Fifty Dollars.

William Wilkins, typical ante
bellum darky nearing the seventies,
and holding the position of sexton at
the Central Congregational church,
was minus $50 and again in posses
sion of it Monday morning in less
time than it takes to tell it.
The old negro had just received a
rent check for the amount mention
ed and after having it cashed at the
Fourth National bank, started for
the Germania bank to make a de-
posit for his own personal account.
At the steps Of the Germania he
took his bank book from an outside
pocket, where he had placed the
money and started up the steps when
a touch on the shoulder caused him
to look around. In the outstretched
hand of total stranger lay roll
of bills. "You may need this" said
voice, and as the speaker disap-
peared into the crowded thorough
fare William counted over his half a
hundred dollars.-Atlanta Journal.

Cudahys Living Together Again.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 20.-John
P. Cudahy, wealthy packer, and his
former wife, who divorced him on
August %, 1910, after he had slash
ed Banker Jere F. Lillis, are now
living together again here, though
they have not been remarked.
The explanation given for this un-
usual domestic situation is that both
are Catholics and therefore, under
their religious law, are not divorced.
TO their friends they have expressed
no intention of again going through
the marriage ceremony.
The Cudahys have been reconciled
for two or three days. Lately Mr..
Cudahy had been living alone at the
Hotel Baltimore, when not at his
farm, near Belton. An apartment at
No. 1927 Main street had been Mrs.
Cudahy's home. There Cudahy was
found to-day and there, it is believed,
they will remain until they obtain
the custody of their four children, a
matter which will be adjudicated in
the city court.
eve have settled our differences,
said the couple to-day, "and we hope
we will give no further occasion for
newspaper notoriety."

Conductor Passed the Plate.

It was a street car conductors du-
ties in the church of which he was a
member to take up the collection one
day, and, as it happened, his first ex-
perience of such duties, says T1t-Blts.
He was a little nervous as he started
down the center aisle, but that soon
wore off, and he began to feel almost
at home.
There were several children in the
first pew, and each put in a penny.
The people in the next pew also con-
tributed something each.
A big glum fellow sat alone IN the
third pew. The pew collector passed
him the plate, but the man shook his
head and stuck his hands deep in his
pockets.
Thereupon, our friend, the conduc-
tor stopped, put up his hand as II to
Jerk the bell cord, and said, "Well,
you'll have to get off,

U~
A Poser.

Speaking of common sense, Dr.
Faulkner, head of the Vineland, N
j., hospital, told the following story:
A mysterious building had been
erected on the outskirts of a small
town. It was shrouded in mystery
All that was known about it was that
it was a chemical laboratory. An old
farmer driving past the place after
work had been started and seeing
man in the doorway called to him:
What be ye doin' in this placer"
eve are searching for a universal
solvent, something that will dissolve
all things" said, the chemist.
What good will thet be-"
"Imagine, sir! 1t will dissolve all
things. If we want a solution of iron,
glass, gold, anything, all that we have
to do is to drop it in the solution"
"Fine,' said the farmer, fine!
What be ye goin' to keep it in?"-

The Panama Canal and Fish.

The suggestion that the opening
of the Panama canal will result IN
the intermingling of the fish fauna
of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
will be of more interst scientifically
than commercially. 1t is not at all
likely that the principal food fishes
of either of these great seas will use
Colonel Goethals's big ditch for
transportation purposes. The tooth
some shad, one Of the finest food
fishes that ever wriggled, is native
of the Atlantic, but the scientists OF
the bureau of fisheries were not con-
tent to wait for the completion OF
the canal to witness his transfer by
natural means to the Pacific. Some
thirty-five years ago shad were trans
ferred to the Pacific, where they are
now as numerous as they are on the
other side of the continent. On the
other hand, the salmon, the most
valuable food fish which our Pacific
coast boasts, has never been trans
planted to the salt waters of the At
lantic, although attempts to propa-
gate it in fresh water lakes in New
HAMPSHIRE and elsewhere have been
made. 1t is by no means probale
that the salmon will ever find his
way through the Panama canal TO
the Atlantic by way of the Caribbean
and accustomed himself to these wa
ters. No salmon are caught so far

The Cool Stranger.

Business was brisk in the village
store when the stranger entered.
ANY of you drive up in trap?'
he asked casually.
Eyes, I did," said Farmer Turn
ups disinterestedly. "Why?"
"Gray horse, and an old lady in
side?"
eyes, that's right! But
"Can she manage him all right?'
asked the stranger.
''I should think so," replied Turn
ups. "Why, my wife's druv that
horse ever since he was three-year-
old!"
''That's all right, then," said the
stranger. II merely asked because
the gray has just gone down the
street like mad bull, and the old
lady's hanging on to the back of the
trap, screaming 'murder!' Still, II
she can manage him, there's nothing
to get excited about. How's the
price of 'taters down your way?"-

JUDGE w. r. BRABHAM DEAD.
Prominent Citizen and Veteran Ex-
pires Near Allendale.

Allendale, June 17.-Judge w. R.
Brabham died to-day at his home,
near Allendale, in the list year of
his age, after several months illness.
In the death of Judge Brabham the
community loses one Of it's most use
full and respected citizens.
For several terms he has served as
magistrate in this district, and his
courteous and impartial bearing in
the discharge of his duties as such
as such has marked him as gentle
man of the old school. He served
with distinction in Hagood's brigade
throughout the war. He entered as
a private in Company C, 1st regi-
ment, in Hagood's South Carolina
Volunteers. AS a soldier he was
never known to shirk duty, and at
the second battle of the Wilderness,
in which he was wounded, he was
promoted for gallantry to the office
of sergeant major.
He leaves three daughters, Mrs. F.
H. Edenfield, of Allendale; Mrs.
Carrie Edenfield, of Savannah, Ca;
Mrs. Ida Ley, of Jacksonville, Fla,
and three SONS, w. H. Brabham, of
Savannah, Ca; R. L. Brabham, of
Fairfax, and M. B. Brabham, Of Sa-
vannah, Ga.

Quoted at the residence, the Masons
then taking charge, and the remains
will be inferred with Masonic honors
at the Allendale cemetery.
Judge Brabham was member of
the Methodist church, the Masonic
order and the knights of Pythias.

PRISONERS BREAK JAIL.
Five Men Squeeze Through 12-inch
Opening and Escape.

Eleberton, Ca, June 19.-Five
prisoners in the Ebert county jail
made their escape last night by
breaking the steel cross bars to one
of the cells. They then pried an up
right bar from it's moorings and
squeezed through 12-inch opening.
The prisoners went down stairs and
gained freedom through the outside
door, which had not been locked for
the night.
Those escaping were George Jones,
white, burglary, and four negroes,
John Carter, murder; Jim Patterson,
burglary; Jim Miller and Jim Turn
er, both charged with misdemeanors.
Gene Jones, charged with assault
and battery, remained in jail. He
says the prisoners have been work
ing to break away for several days.
He states that they escaped about
$3.50 last night. The escape was not
learned until this morning. Sheriff
Haley has offered rewards for their
capture.

Woodruff Negro Accused Of Murder.

Charged with killing her daughter.
Sarah Ann Hughes, a negress, was
arrested at her home near Woodruff
last night by Rural Policeman Miller
and brought to Spartanburg and lodg-
ed in Jail. The warrant was sworn
out by Officer Miller on information
and belief before Magistrate CAN'T.
The case is rather an unusual one.
It seems that some time during last
January or February the married
daughter of the prisoner died at her
home at Woodruff. At the time OF
her death there was reason to sus-
pect that she had met violence. Re-
Gently the Hughes woman is said to
have been acting in a peculiar man
ner. Her conduct, it is said, was
that of a woman of unsound mind.
It is alleged that in talking Of the
death of her daughter, she made the
statement that she killed her bystrik-
ing her in the head with a bottle,
following a querrel with her daugh-
ter about the latter's husband.
It is said that the sanity of the
woman was inquired into some time
ago and that she was declared to be
sane. Since this investigation it is
said the woman began to talk about
having killed her husband. Magis-
trate CAN'T said he kew very little
about the case. All he knew about
the affair was that Rural Policeman
Miller appeared before him and swore
out the warrant for the arrest Of the
woman on information and belief.
Officer Miller swore out the warrant
on the statements made by the de-
fendant that she had killed her
daughter by striking her in the head
with a bottle.
Whether there is any truth in the
statement of the prisoner that she
put her daughter out of the way is
not known. In order to arrive at
the truth, it may be necessary for
the body to be exhumed and an exam
nation made of the skull.-Spartan-
burg Journal, June 20.

Telling the Time.

A great many persons believe that
time is told by watches and clocks.
This tradition is carefully kept
alive by makers of clocks and watch
es. Yet nothing could be further
from the truth. If man were depend
ent upon clocks and watches alone
he would never have the faintest idea
as to the time. Why, man may
look at a clock three or four times
and then go ahead and have the
wrong idea as to the hour.
The fact is that people tell time by
their meals. This shows what import
ant things meals are and how neces-
sary it is to have them at regular
hours.
Now. for instance, take the case
of nv mother. She had dinner very
late the other night and 1 innocently
thought that there was plenty OF
time to go to the theater because
had Just eaten my dinner. l look
ed at my watch several times but
the hands didn't tell me anything. L
had just had my dinner, therefore it
was early.
If man gets up an hour or two
late and eats a late breakfast and no
lunch at all, it is utterly impossible
for him to know what time 1t is all
day long, and eight O'Clock arrives
for him an hour or so after mid
night.
If a man wants to sit up all night
let him arrange his meals according
" and he will never be bit the
worse for it.
Travellers and boarders will be
comforted to be assured of this use
full quality of meals because it sets
forth about all the advantages that
some meals havc.-Chicago News.

CHANCE TO MARRY.
Men are Most Easily Caught Between
25 and 35.

For instance, an approximation OF
statistics covering a period of num-
Der of years shows that one young
man ranging anywhere in age from
25 to 35 years is worth to a woman
AS a marrying man-50 younger
men whose ages range from Is to 19
wears. In other words, if this girl
possessed 81 male acquaintances, all
of them 10 years of age or under,
with the exception of one older man,
the one is worth as much to her as a
marriageable possibility as the other
SO combined. These same statistics
show that a bachelor ranging from
25 to 35 years is worth three times
as much to a woman-as a marrying
man-as bachelor between the ages
of "a and AZ.
In summing up these facts, the
best advice between the ages of ~
and 80 is, "Make hay while the sun
Shines" Don't frivol with young
men not likely to marry, for these are
years of opportunity that will never
come again. For during these years
time expended upon young men of 20
or younger is practically wasted, as
one unmarried man between the ages
of 20 and "a is worth as marriage
able chance" just SO men of 20 or
under. In men between 25 and 30,
however, lies the greatest hope OF
achieving married happiness; for the
man anywhere between those ages
is Just about twice as likely to take
a wife as the man between 20 and "a,
while the bachelor between 35 and
As is less than one-fourth as valu-
able. From As to 55 he is only one
sixth of chance as compared with
a man of 20 to "a. Between the ages
of from SIS to so he falls to ABOUT
one-twentieth.- Oliver Cur
wood, in Leslie's.

How a Country Woman Rests In the
City.

In the July Woman's Home Com
panion, womn living in Wisconsin
tells as follows the kind Of vacation
she likes:
During the summer, when people
generally take their vacations, l am
deluged with work. After Christmas
I watch the city dailies to find when
some noted atcors, singers, plays, or
operas are to be heard, and plan to
have my vacation simultaneously
with the appearance of some Of them.
Two large cities are within a few
hours ride by train. I engage a room
by the week at the Y. w. c. A., or at
some place recommended by that or
ganization.
"As I always have to be up early
at home, my first relaxation is to stay
in bed mornings. I have fruit and
waters upon which I can breakfast, If
/ wish; but I never get up before
lunch. For lunches and dinners l go
to as many different places as have
meals, including always one first-class
hotel. 1 want to see different people
and eat different things. Any new
dish in menu comamnds my patron
age. If it suits, try to duplicate it
for the benefit of my family when l
get home. Many viands commanding
extravagant prices in the city are or
binary affairs with us.
Afternoons and evenings 1 go TO
art galleries, museums, recitals, matt
nees, vaudeville, lectures, moving
picture shows. I watch the amuse-
ment columns of the dailies, noting
especially free days. and attend
whatever promises me pleasure, in
Guiding always one first-class play or
opera.
II enjoy the store windows, and
study their displays with an attention
that makes me the local fashion au-
thority. I find profit in attending the
bargain sales and patronizing the
remnant counter. The stores often
offer excellent music free. I enjoy
sitting in their rest-rooms, listening
to the instruments and watching the
people. 1 attend their fancy-work
class, where I get instruction, ideas,
and patterns, more for shut-in
friend than for myself. Once l en-
rolled in a cooking class, but that was
too much like home.
"Sundays I go to hear celebrated
minister, or attend church which
has a reputation for fine music. Near
the end of my vacation I sometimes
let some friends know that l am in
town, and am treated to automobile
rides or other pleasures, but l never
visit when on my vacation. My ex-
penses seldom exceed ten or twelve
dollars a week, including transporta-
ton and presents. I keep vacation
savings bank during the year.

Fined for Calling Girl ''Chicken.

Atlanta, June 20.-It's against
the law now to call a girl ''chicken"
in Atlanta. BY the same token it is
against the law, to call her "broil-
err or a "squab.'
If you must call her something to
eat, the word "peach' is about the
only thing you can safely get away
with in this city now. o. E. Lancas-
ter, a debonair young beau, was fined
s5.75 yesterday for saying, Hello
chicken" to a pretty and diminutive
telephone girl, and the recorder
warned all and sundry henceforth
that barnyard terms of endearment
would have to be cut out.
