DUG OUT OF WE'LL.
Negro Workman Saved From Death
After q Cave-in.

John Small, negro, while engaged
in digging a well near Kershaw, was
nearly killed by suffocation caused by
cave-in of the sides of the well.
The man was at a depth of 40 feet
when suddenly the loose rock from
the side fell in, knocking the man
down, and the loose dirt and mud
caved in on him and completely COW
cred the man, except one hand held
over his head to protect himself from
the falling rock.
The struggles of the negro and his
cries for assistance soon brought
Hampton Hinson, upon whose place
he was working, to his assistance, and
he was soon brought to the surface.
Except for "a flesh wound in his ace,
caused by some falling timber, the
man was apparently uninjured.

BUSINESS CONDITIONS

New Worthwhile generally quiet.
so far as new business for the imme-
date season is concerned, the broad
SILK market is fully confident Of a good
season this fall, as soon as retailers
are permitted to operate and the cut
ters know just "where they are at"
There is hesitation more than usual
among retail buyers about taking hold
for the new season, which is not by
any means confined to silks, and, in
dsed, would not apply to silks at all If
the record of the spring and summer
season in the sales of silk were the
only factor to be considered by the
buyers. But the silk manufacturers
realize, as do manufacturers of other
lines of dry goods, that abnormal and
serious matters of national concern
are holding back the advance buying
this year.
Those manufacturers who depend
largely on the cutting-up trade for
their business are naturally feeling the
dullness of the present time more fully
than others who do larger dry goods
business. While neither the jobbers
nor the retailers of dry goods have SO
far placed anything like their full fall
requirement with the manufacturers,
there is enough business so far booked
to keep mills active for some weeks.

known her to be where there we're lit
tie children, they gravitated to her as
naturally as a flower lifts its face to
the sun.
The Man decided that he had been a
fool not to have expressed his regret
more often and forcibly that no babies
had come to bless her life in his own
home, knowing what it had meant to
her in the first years of their marriage,
and he decided to make amends.
That night when they sat together
on the broad porch of their home The
Man reached over and took The Wom-
ans hand in his.
"I am sorry, dear, for the great void
in our marriage" he told her, more
sorry than l can ever tell you about
the children"
"The children!" she echoed, and the
note in her voice was one which told
The Man, as nothing else could have
done, that the change in The Woman
was not one born of his Imagination.
It was real. 1t was Of graver conse-
quence than even his heart had sug-
gested. 1t went down to the we'll
springs of The Womans life. And it
was not born of the fact that they had
had no children, for the quality in the
tone with which she had echoed his
words had been one of horror.
The Man said no more, but he made
an excuse to get away, and when he
was alone he walked the city streets
in the summer moonlight with a single
question staggering his mind and de,
pressing his heart.
He cursed himself for a cad to doubt
the woman he loved, and even as he
cursed the sense Of the justice of his
doubts grew upon him. It swept over
him like the great unbidden torrent of
. raging sea that the thing she had Of

Scattering of Gendsrs

Our ability to personify a sea ship
by using the pronoun she" and to
keep the Zeppelin in place as 1T"
brings out one strong point of our
language. 1t is impossible to be SO
subtle in French, which has no neu-
ter, or in German, with it's arbitrary
scattering of genders. Mark Twain
gave as typical instance of good Ger
man: Wilhelm, where is the turnip?"
She has gone to the kitchen"
Where is the accomplished and beau
tiful English maiden?" TT has gone to
the opera" Mark went on to observe
that in Germany a tree is male, it's
buds female, its leaves neuter; horses
are sexless, dogs male, cats female
including tom-cats. By some over
sight of the inventor of the language
a woman is female; but a wife
(weib) is not.-London Chronicle.

fered him for several years in the
place Of love was dead sea fruit, and
the taste Of It suddenly filled his soul
with bitterness.
In the days that followed, the ques-
tion which had come to dwell in The
Mans mind ate into his vitals like q
cankerous sore and he could find no
cure for it. The Woman was as pune
tilious in the performance of her wife
ly duties as ever. The Mans home
lacked nothing Of care, and in the
manner of his wife toward him he
could find no fault save that it's per-
fection sickened his very soul.
He thought much Of the time when
he had first met her and the natural
gravitation Of little children to her. He
thought of her passion for them and Of
how he had counted it as sign Of the
very great purity of her heart. He
thought of the grief with which she
had first learned that her marriage
could never be blessed with the happy
prattle of children in her own home,
and of how she had mothered every
tot in the neighborhood, making The
Mans home and yard veritable play
ground for them.
But it had been many months since
he had seen a child in his house or
about the premises. Somehow the fact
had not struck him before as being sig
nificant But now he remembered the
saying of very wise man that the
touch of a little child will invariably
bring an expression of fear into the
eyes of faithless woman, and the re-
membrance gave The Man an inspira-
ton.
The next day when he went home he
held in his own the dimpled hand Of a
lovely child-a fair-haired, cherub-
faced little lad whom he had promised
the matron of a certain home to adopt,
provided his wife approved"
The Woman was sitting on the front
porch when The Man and the lad
turned in at the gate.
"Ah, my DEAR" called The Man to
her, see what have brought you to
be your very own"
The Woman's guard was suddenly
down. She stood up and backed
against the wall like an animal at bay.
There was no smile on her face, and
when the fair-haired boy, at The Mans
bidding, ran to her and clasped his
dimpled hands about her knees, lifting
! face that was for all the world like

THE EXPERIMENT

The change in The Woman was
subtle. The Man recognized it but he
could not define it. Her manner to-
ward him was fawless, and no one
could say truthfully that she did not
make him a good wife.
After thinking the matter over for q
long time The Man decided that the
change existed only in his imagina-
tion-a thing born of his too great love
for The Woman-but even as he thus
assured himself he knew that the solu-
ton was not true.
He spent a deal of his time in trou-
bled mental questioning when he was
absent from her, but when he went
home her ready smile dispelled his
fear, and he was able to believe, as
long as he felt the sense Of her near
ness, that the love she bore him was
the same that it had been when he
chose her from among all other women
to be his wife.
She left nothing undone to make his
home comfortable. When he returned
to 1t after busy day in his downtown
office she was seldom absent. In fact,
she attended her wifely duties with
such punctiliousness that it sometimes
occurred to The Man that she made a
business of his comforts; studied them
and made them certain with a care
that suggested motives other than
love.
He told himself that he was getting
finicky and exacting, and declared him
self maudlin sentimentalist. All this,
however, was in the privacy of his
thoughts, which he took good care The
Woman should know nothing about.
And all the while the consciousness
Of barrier between them grew upon
the man, until one day it dawned upon
him that the reason of it was that God
had blessed his marriage with no chill
dren.
The Mans mind leapt at the sugges-
ton. Yes; that was it. Children had
been The Woman's absorbing passion.
He remembered the day he had first
met her. 1t was on picnic at harvest
time. She was sitting out under a
spreading oak, surrounded by a large
group of children whom she loved with
her eyes even as she told them tales,
and they, in their turn, gave her the
alteration Of their young hearts. And
always after that, wherever he had

SOME HINTS FOR BUILDERS
Great Care Should Be Taken In seIee-
tIon OF the Most Substantial
Roofing Material.

II you were without preparation or
plan, rudely placed in a wilderness,
your first thought would be of food
supply and your next Of shelter, for
these are the two most vital necessi-
ties of mankind. It is therefore
natural that the best thought, and
study are put upon these two essen
tails.
More forward steps have been
taken in the building industry In the
past fifteen years, as regards comfort,
service and architectural beauty than
in the fifty years previous.
| Only In recent years has the hand
ling of cement in building work been
understood properly, and progress is
still constantly being made with 1t.
Modern hotels and Office buildings
are being equipped with sheet metal
mouldings and steel veenered doors.
Nearly every important change in
building construction is away from
he fire hazard of wood.
One Of the most significant develop
ments of recent years Is the crushed
slate surfaced asphalt shingle which
ls, on new construction and old, rapid
ly supplanting the wooden article.
There are many reasons for this. The
slate surfaced shingles add beauty to
any building--in fact, there Is really
40 comparison from an architectural
standpoint. Crushed slate of pleasing
tints of red or green, Is employed as a
surfacing. The shingles are uniform
ly eight inches wide and are exposed
four inches to the weather. No paint
ing Is necessary as the red or green
crushed slate IL natural and therefore
cannot fade.
The purchaser, however, should
guard himself against buying slate
surfaced single that is not guaran-
teed by a reliable and responsible
manufacturer. There are so many
kinds of roofing and shingles on the
market today each claiming to be the
best that 1t becomes necessary for the
buyer to get some satisfactory assur-
ance that the roofing or shingles are
represented honestly.
