Fortunate Amerjcape

When the American citizen looks
abroad he feels inclined to give thanks
for the possession Of system of gov.
eminent which, despite partisan DIFF.
fcrences, commands universal respect
and confidence. The exceptionally
high standard Of Intelligence which
here prevails is a guaranty against
sudden movements in opposition to
the established order. The vast ma.

capable OF analyzing conditions. They
keep in close touch with the affairs
of the world and with the circum.

growing steadily in political acumen

ciently independent in their determin.

revolution they strengthen the nation.

Too Much Ham to Be Hungry.
An English town council, after pro.
tracted sitting, was desirous Of ad-
jOurning for lunch.

Columbia.-It was estimated that

$50O0OO during the week. This esti.
mate Is considered conservative. All
concerns in Columbia report ecellent

vice reaped golden harvest. Many
cars made as high as So for single
trip to the fair grounds. Practically
every street car in Columbia was
crowded. On "Big Thursday" 1t was
estimated that the street railway
hauled more than $4,000 passengers.
Restaurants hotels and boarding
houses we're crowded throughout the
week. 4 register was unnecessary at
most aH of the larger hotels because
reservations had been made week
in advhce The information bureau
made up list Of several hundred
privatt home owners, each of whom
entertained five to ten visitors The
prices were kept down during the
week and FIVE reports of overcharging
were recorded
ThS foundation has been laid and
nowit seems that an even greater

Keen Scent Enables Them to Perform Almost Incredible Feats.

 Almost Incredible Feats.
 What the Georgia bloodhound can do seems almost incredible A convict sleeping in one bunk of hundred. shod and clad precisely as the hundred convicts about him, may slip his chain and flee. Ten miles away he may meet his fellow prisoners again. may run to and fro among them or walk with them d mile and leave them.
 Six hours after these hounds, put on his track where he slipped the camp, will follow him to where he met his gang, will tread his track in and about with hundreds of tracks, take it up where he leaves them and run him down though he cross convict gangs every mile he runs.
 This escaping convict, clad in stripes cut from the same bolt with hundred others, may run through the woods, touching weeds and bushes as he runs. Fifty other convicts may run through the same woods in every direction. The dogs will hold his scent, running full tilt, breast high. If he makes a curve of forty-tive degrees the dogs will not run the line, but will catch his scent thirty yards away and across the angle, though it were filled with the convicts who had eaten and slept with the fugitive
 Often dog will carry scent in a gallop, running parallel thirty yards to the windward. An uncanny and terri ble little beast is the red bone hound, trained for the hunting of man.-Phil. adelphia Inquirer. ..

BENEFITS FROM BOOKS.

Travelling Along the Roads That Lead
 Us Into Other Worlds.
 The benefit of literature can hardly be overestimated. Books enlarge a mans horizon. They raise a mirage of water brooks and date palm to travel CTS in the desert. They are ''the sick mans health, the prisoners release" :" Shut within narrow routine of dull necessity, sad at heart in a world where wrong triumphs, where beauty has no assurance of respect, where hu- manity tolls terribly merely for its dai- ly bread or the satisfaction of trivial appetites, the earthly pilgrim need do no more than pick up book and, To, he steps into another world
 Here he is free from sorrow and care, free from the burden of his body, from envy, jealousy, contempt, self satisfac- ton, from vain regrets, from wishes that can never wear the livery of hope, from narrowness of soul and hardness of heart
 He may mingle in the society of the good and great; he may listen to the wise man and the prophet; he may see all the conditions of human happiness and misery; he may watch the human spirit in its strife with circumstances nobly conquer or basely succumb; he may go down through the ''gate of a hundred sorrows or accompany Dante and Beatrice through the spheres of aradise.-Atlantic Monthly.
