LEFT YOUNG MAN TO SLEEP
Partly Blur and Partly Wisdom I"
Hs Superior Enahles Youthful
Aetacho to Enjoy Rest

The great success that Lord STRAIT
cord de Redclthe, the English diplo-
matist, achieved in his career was. IN
q large measure, due to his extraordi'
nary Vgor and energy. Moreover, ne
expected the young attaches connect
ed with his embassy to display an
equal endurance and capacity for
work. Apropos Of this. Uber Land
und Meer recalls an amusing incident
from the days when Sir John Hay, az
attache to the H7Itish embassy at
Constantinople, was under Lord
Stratford.
The ambassador enforced a rgor-
Gus discipline upon his subordinates,
and through his strength Of will and
character obtained complete obedi-
ence. But with the arrival at the en-
bassy Of Sir John Hay. he met an
attache who had a will as strong as
his own.
On the day after his arrival Hay
was detailed to help Lord Stratford
finish some pressing work. They be-
gan at eight o'clock. With a few
short Interruptions for meals, they
worked steadily until two o'clock Of
the following afternoon.
Only then did Lord Stratford re-
member that neither of them had
slept for over thirty hours. Lie
down and take nap" he told his as
sistant. Then he added. "I'1l have
you called in little while, and we
will continue"
Hay had not complained during the
thirty hours Of work, and he kept 81
lent now, although there was dan
gerous CLINT in his eye. He went to
his bedchamber. and in the presence
OF his servant took a pistol from his
portmanteau, and placed 1t beneath
his pillow.
81 will certainly shoot any one who
attempts to waken me before six to
morrow morning." he announced,
quietly. Then he went to sleep.
1t was not long before the indie
ldIlSdUlS Lulu Wc@S A0~Ns
to resume work. and he sent for Hay.
Hes in bed" Hays servant re-
ported.
''Tell him I'm ready"
Forgive me, your excellency. but
he would shoot mel"
"What?" asked Lord Stratford, In
astonishment.
He said before he went to sleep
that he would shoot whoever waken-
ed him before six tomorrow morn.
Ing"
Lord Stratford fumed. and vowed
that the young attache should be
sent home Immediately. But before
six o'clock arrived ne had fully for
given Hay, and had admitted his own
fault in attempting to drive young
men at pace that no one but him
self could endure.-Youth's Compan-

Better Paint

Better paint this year if your
property needs it. Mistaken men
have been waiting for paint to come
down. The cost of their job has
gone up not down; it always goes
up by waiting; never comes down.
Better paint than Devoe? There
isn't any.
Suppose one had waited 20 or 80
years ago for better paint than
Deyoe; how long would he have
waited? How long would he still
have to wait?
The price a gallon makes some
difference; yes, but not much; it's
the paint that counts; the quality
ea1Dts.
It's the go-far that counts. Pro.
lection of property ccunts more
yet.
Better paint.
Stewart & Kernaghan sells it.

Edgefield Mourns.


message came to Edgefeld, an
nouncing the death of Eileen
QUITS Bussey, one of the most be-
loved of all the young women who
have been reared in our town for
many, many years.
Less than year ago, in the har-
vest season, in October, Eileen was
married to Rev. P. H. Bussey, and
beautiful marriage it was, and so
many friends and relatives were
gathered at her fathers home to
witness the pleasant and auspicious
occasion. So many beautiful gifts,
the tributes of friendship and love
to cheer and comfort her heart
in the new home to which she was
going. She was 80 well fitted to be
the wife of a consecrated Christian
minister. Everybody loved and
praised her for her early consecra.
tion and devotion to the Masters
service. A few days ago the little
babe was laid to rest in Hartsville,
and the hope SSwas that the mother
would live teven though there was
great suspense. Her many friends
were waiting every message hoping
for news of comfort and nope.
Mrs. Bussey from her childhood
was of modest, but winning and
gracious manners. After she had
graduated at the South Carolina Co.
Institutc. for -tsun s..,"~a
she taught IN the Ked OAK GROVE
community, and it was notable and
unusual how the residents of that
section loved and esteemed her. On
every hand there were so many
expressions O. regard
and confidence, and they were DIS
to give her up at all
No wonder then that the youn;
minister of the gospel whose chile
hood had been spent in that hore
of Red Oak Grove, met and lovd
and won this pattern of virtue ao
sweetness.
We were all thinking how ustul
she would be in her new home'nd
how happy together having so rach
in common, so congenial in stes
and sympathy but she is gonaand
the place she knew will kno her
no more forever. 1t is well tn we
seek a better country, that's an
