The Plucky Captain.

The late Bishop Doane, in Fourth
of July address in Albany, once beg
ged his hearers to fight against social,
ism as their ancestors had fought
against the British, relates The
Washington Star
Put up a good stiff fight" said
the bishop, 'and the pluck Of these
miserable socialists will be no better
that that of Capt. Scraggs.
Capt. Scraggs saw active service
once. The engagement was pretty
stiff. In fact, it looked hopeless to
the captain. However, he said cheer
lily to his men:
"'My brave fellows. fight like he
roes till your ammunition's gone;
then run for your lives. I've got a
sore foot so I'll start now. Au revoir,
my hearties.'

WHERE ALL ARE MARRIED.
Only Idiots Enjoy Single Blessedness
Among Santals of the Lower Ganges,

The Santals of Sonthals, who dwell
on the bank of the lower Ganges
have a claim to distinction. Nobody
agitates in their land for a tax on
bachelors for the simple reason that
nobody but an idiot remains a cell
bate.
Not only is marriage popular, but
the Santals have evolved all sorts OF
ways by which they may obtain wives
or husbands for themselves. The
methods followed vary from a purely
commercial transaction to a romantic
elopement; or, in the case of ugly
and unattractive women, the pros
pective bridegroom may if he likes
serve his future father-in-law for a
stated period, after which he is free
to go off with his bride, and usually
some substantial presents as we'll.
Buying the BRIDE" is, however,
the most common method of doing
the business, though there exists also
the alternative ceremony known as
buying the husband" The bride
groom has apparently very little
choice in the matter, which is ar
ranged by his father or friends who
revel in bride-hunting expeditions.
Having fixed upon a likely girl,
they proceed to parallels Snd busi-
ness. Have you," they ask the head
man of the village where she lives,
any diamonds to sell?" That" is
the guarded reply, "depends upon the
quality of your pearls" and the bar
gaining goes on till the price has
been fixed, usually five rupees for a
girl and half that amount for a
widow, which is only just, seeing
that she rejoins her first love in a
future life.
Tearing the leaf" as divorce is
called, is very simple matter. A
santal leaf torn in half and a piece
given to each of the parties is quite
sufficient to dissolve the union, the
woman, if necessary, being represent
ed by an earthenware pot.-London
cable to The New York Sun.

KILLS YOUNG LADY.
Train Bearing Bryan and Senator Lea
Runs Over Girl.

Asheville, July 12.-The train
which brought Secretary of State and
Mrs. Bryan and Senator Luke Lea in
to Asheville this morning, Southern
No. IA, ran over and instantly killed
Miss Annie E. Williams of Gaines
Vile, Fla, a summer visitor, who
was crossing a small trestle near
Swannanoa.
A small nephew of Miss Williams,
who was with her, saw the train ap-
preaching, drew back from the tres
tie and escaped. The engineer of the
locomotive, it is said, did not see the
young lady in time to stop his engine.
The body of Miss Williams was car
ried to nearby house, and will prob
ably be sent from there to her home

ATLANTA MAN A SUICIDE
DIR. George S. Tigner Cuts Throat
from Ear to Ear.

Atlanta, Ca, July 9.-Dr. Geo. S.

place, committed suicide early to-day
by cutting his throat with razor.

she was able. by peerlng beneath it,
to see her husbands body lying on
the floor. Assistance was summon

about it, but we may be mistaken.

Boy With Nail in Lung.

Since he was seven, 11-year-old Ed
die Munson, New York boy, has
been hitching on ice carts, sliding on
sleds, playing one old cat and dis
porting generally in the hair trigger
style of kids and all the time with a
nail in his left lung. 1t is true that
all the time he coughed little. And
it got worse-the cough-a few
months ago. His parents then wor-
ried. The first doctor who saw Ed
die said he didn't have consumption,
that was sure. He probably only had
slight cold. But he began to cough
and cough and cough. Another doc
tor applied the x ray. When the doc
tor got his proofs of the K ray photo
graph he demanded of Eddie's moth
er:
"See here, did that kid ever swal-
low anything besides food-anything,
if may ask, in the nature of nail?''
"Oh, dear me-" cried Mrs. Munson,
why, it couldn't be that nail! Eddie
swallowed it four years ago. But
MY dear madam" said the ply
sician reassuringly, Eddie is the
sort of child who could eat tacks.
Consumption! Huh! Anaemic-booh!
This young gentleman has been sport
ing a nail in his lungs; but, looking
him over generally, l would say that
his coffin nails are nowhere due yet
about ninety years off,
So Eddie was placed on an opera
ting table, the surgeon pried the nail
out of Eddie's left lung and Eddie
had chicken and ice cream for din
ner and said that his chief sorrow
was that he wanted. that nail to show
his pals, and the doctor wouldn't
give it to him.

According to the books of the
comptroller general, there are 231,-
434 acres of land returned for tax
alton in Bamberg county, the valua-
ton for, taxes being s1,937,405, OF
San average of s3.7S an acre, Pretty
cheap land this! The number OF
mules returned in the county is g.
497, their value being s134,650, an
average of s53.92 each. There are
2,247 COWS returned, their value be-
ing $22,47O, or $40 each. In the
face of these figures it is clearly seen
that no class of property in Bamberg
county is returned so cheap as farm
ing lands. Think of the average val
ue OF farm lands in this county being
only S3.7S an acre. Why, you could
not buy it for an average price of
$40 an acre.

ELEPHANT LOVE DUELS.
Enormous Creatures Pull up Trees to
Gain Affection of Females.

When two male elephants compete
for the championship of female
they do not forget their dignity so
far as to fight for the lady. They
simply face each other squarely. Then
one of them pulls down branch
from tree with his trunk, and lays
it at his feet. The other takes a
larger branch, or pulls up big shrub
by the roots and also lays it at his
feet.
Number one then tackles a still
bigger branch, and this strange COM
petition goes on, turn and turn about,
until at last the contestants try to
pull down trees wholesale, and the
one who fails to uproot his tree in
turn is abandoned by the lady ele-
phant, who has been an interested
spectator of the strange duel. She
goes off with the possessor of the
largest tree, and the vanquished ele-
phant retires shame-faced.
This trial of strength species of
courtship is very remarkable when
contrasted with the ordeal of battle
of most other animals, and shows the
highly developed intelligence of these
enormous creatures.-Wide World
Magazine.

Everything is lovely again in mill
tary circles and the encampments will
be held as usual. After all the
governors big talk, he took water
like good little fellow and although
he had written the secretary of war
that he was glad South Carolina was
rid of the provisions of the Dick law,
when the secretary withdrew the ap-
preparation for the militia of the
State, the governor at once got busy
and later wrote letter to the secre-
tafy of war saying that he would en-
force the law as requested. So it's
all right again. but it is really pitt
able the spectacle the governor made
of himself.

SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE.
Famous Adventures Who Have Serv-
ed Under Flags of Alien Countries.

Many famous soldiers and adven-
turers served under flags not their
own. Henry Hudson, an English
man, who sailed under the Dutch
Standard; Christopher Columbus, a
Genoese, who discovered a continent
in the name of Spain; Kosciusko and
Pulaski, Polish patriots, who fought
for American independence, and Cor
don, who gained distinction in the
service of China-are conspicuous ex-
amples.
Disregarding the obscure periods
of the middle ages, when adventures
scurried to and fro over all Europe,
one has only to study the bureaucracy
of Russia to find a potent example of
the highest type of soldier of fortune.
Russia, at her regeneration, needed
leaders of every soldiers,
statesmen, bankers, organizers; and
all were brought in from the outside.
At the helm of state their descend
ants remain today.
In somewhat simil liar manner, when
America was fighting for her inde-
pendence, there were needed many
foreigners to aid in military organiza-
tion. Baron Steuben, the Prussian;
Pulaski and Kosciusko, the Poles,
and Lafayette, the Frenchman, were
the most notable figures. OF all these
it can be said that they were fighting
for the cause of freedom, which was
also their own; but they were soldiers
of fortune, nevertheless.
There were many adventures in
the Italian war for freedom, and Gar
ibaldi had been one himself, serving
in the French navy and in the army
of the Republic of Rio Grande," the
present Uruguay. Even when he had
attained the height of his fame he,
with his sons, served in the French
army during the Franco-Prussian
war.
In the wars of Servia and Bulgaria
there were Austrians, Russians and
many other foreigners, while in Spain
one has but to consider the names of
certain statesmen of recent years to
see how many adventurers have serv-
ed to make the history of that coun-
try.
A warrior named O'Higgins played
a chief part in the wars of Chilli. In
China the leaders have time and again
been men of western race, and it
would be interesting to learn how
many graduates of Annapolis have
served in the Chinese navy. In Mo-
rocco, but a short while ago, it was
Kaid Mclean who was the moving
agent in affairs. y
There are many new things that
combine to reader the trade Of the
soldier of fortune less picturesque
than it formeraly was. War to-day is
much more highly organized affair
than it was years ago. Before they
fight, nations are apt to sum up care
fully the forces with which they have
to contend, and every step that is
taken in organization means one less
face for the soldier of fortune.-Har-
per's Weekly.

war on between the three automobile
stages operating between this city and
Mossyrock and Rife in Eastern Lewis

has been possible to ride AZ miles by
automobile for $3.50.
A truce was declared. and the stage
owners signed an agreement ande are
said to have posted a cash forfeit
pledging maintenance Of prices at the
old schedule. The cut is said to have
been started by secret rebates. The
stages have all been loaded to the
guards OF late.
