He Landed a Job.

There is a certain middle-aged and
old-fashioned business man who is a
little doubtful whether he or the
other carried off the honors of war in
an interview given to smart young
man.
The smart young man was apply
ing for a berth.
LET me see,' said the merchant,
you've called on me before, but not
on your present errand. The first
time you represented Up-to-Date
Limited and offered to put our con-
Germ on modern lines. Then you
came on behalf of Systems and Files,
and said you were business doctors.
And after that you came as the pub
licity expert of the Newest in Ads.
Company"
That is so, sir
And are all these-er-companles
dead?"
The young man reluctantly admit
ted that they were.
"Yet. after coming here three times
to offer to teach us our business
when your concerns go down you
cody solicit a berth in this poor ef-
fete old firm. Why. what use are
YOU to us? Look at your record!'
The optimist countered that easily.
You never know. sir. | might be
very useful. Look what a splendid
experience I've had in winding up
companies!"

Rally at Hunters Chapel.

Last Friday, an enthusiastic school
rally. was held at Hunters Chapel
school. Good addresses were heard,
a bountiful picnic dinner was served
on the grounds, and much enthusi-
asm was aroused. A splendid pro-
gramme was carried out, and every
body enjoyed the day.
Stirring addresses were made by
CONGRESSMAN James F. Byrnes, Rev.
E. O. Watson, S. G. Mayfield, Esq,
and others. Hunters Chapel school
has recently been the subject of much
interest. The State board Of educa-
ton has manifested much interest in
the development and progress of the
school, which has been marked dur
ing the past year. The school has
only recently. completed magnificent
$4,000 rural graded school building,
which is a pride of the county. Great
strides have been made by the school,
and this progress was broadly en-
phasized by each Of the speakers.
The speakers urged the patrons
and friends of the school to keep the
good work up. The Importance of a
live country school was urged, and
the benefits to be secured were told
in a most interesting manner.
The rally was attended by large
crowd, many being present from other
communities. Everybody felt that
cause of education in the community
and county had been benefited.

II Europe Pensioned Its Soldiers.

Dreadful as are likely to be the
consequences of the present Euro
pean war, there is one calamity that
the embattled nations will probably
escape, says the Worlds Work. This
is a pension list on the American
plan. Backward as our citizen SOL
diery may be in practice of warfare,
there is one branch of the science
that they can teach even so militarris-
tic a nation as Germany. and that is
the art of collecting pensions. Only
in the United States has patriotism
been transmitted into huge money
interest.
In order to understand precisely
what the ten or a dozen nations now
engaged will escape, let us imagine
what the results would be if the pen
sion system of the great western de-
mocracy followed the present war.
According to trustworthy estimates,
about 100000 men, representing
both the armies and navies, will en-
gage in this struggle. The American
civil war enlisted something more than
100000 on the northern and pen
sionable side. If we are to apply the
American pension system to the Eu-
ropean armies, therefore, we must
multiply our pension expenditures by
nine. Take one especially impress
sive fact. In the fifty years since the
civil war ended the American people
have paid to its survivors or their de-
pendents more than s4,500,00Q,O0o.
On the same basis the European gov
ernments, should they adopt Ameri-
can pension plans, will have paid by
1866 (assdming that the war ends
next year, about s40,500,00O.OO0.

FOR 4 COUNTY FAIR.
stock Petitions TO he Circulated at
Unce.-lia>S Meeting june i1th.

The chautauqua committee. which
is now endeavoring TO organize a
county fair association in Bamber2,
held another meeting on Monday al
ternoon. at which proposed plans
were discussed. and mass meeting
of citizens arranged for. 1t was de-
cided to call the mass meeting for
Friday, June 11th. The meeting vii!
probably be held at the court house.
and the hour of meeting will be an
nounced later. Every citizen of the
city and county interested in the in
dustrial and agricultural develop
ment of the county is urged to be
present at this meeting.
Preliminary reports were received
from the committees appointed at the
last meeting of the chautauqua COM
mittee. These committees had been
investigating the matter of a sulta-
BILE location for the fair, and for the
proper equipment of the fair grounds.
The committee on a site reported
that several sites could be had at a
nominal figure. Information as to
fair grounds equipment was gather
ed from the fair association of neigh
boring cities.
It was decided to capitalize the
fair from $1,000 to $4,000, the
exact amount to be decided on at the
mass meeting The stock is to be
in shares of $40 each. payable $500
per share at the time of organization
and the balance upon call of the di-
rectors. A committee was appoint
ed to draft proper stock petitions and
circulate them at once. 1t is hoped
to get as much stock subscribed as
possible before the mass meeting as
a nucleus to begin on.
Considerable enthusiasm was mani
tested at the meeting, and it seems
to be an assured fact that Bamberg
county is to have fair this fall.
This is something the county has long
needed, and the gentlemen who have
interested themselves in the project
are due the thanks of the town and
county. A county fair advertises the
county thoroughly, and in addition
it brings the people together for
wholesome entertainment and a
friendly rivalry among the people to
produce the best exhibits results in
much benefit to all classes.

Why He Kept a Servant.

In the days when he was superin-
tendent of the Portsmouth dockyaTd
in England. Lord Fisher, the present
admiral of the British fleet, had the
sea-dog attitude toward the men; he
frequently treated them with all the
harshness of wailing captain; they,
in turn, treated him in a half-friepd-
". half-hostile familiarity.
Several years after his Portsmd duth
days, Fisher visited one of his old as
sociates of the forecastle, who was
then living on half pay. He found
the old man comfortably settled lin a
cottage. attended by another super
annuated seaman.
Why do you have this old man
here?" asked the admiral.
II keep i'm here" said the pen
sioner, Ito come into my quarters at
5 o'clock in the mornin an sing out
Hi there! The hadmiral wants to
see you At that l merely roll over
in my bed, and says, Tell old Fisher

The Kansas Legislature.

William Allen White, in his EN-
poria Gazette, makes these sincere.
and unkind remarks about the Kan
sas legislature:
Looking over the legislature as
she stands proudly in the winter fog
like the other end Of the clothesline,
we should say it was very much Jle-
ney, cheap, disorganized, irresponsi-
Bile, unreliable, stupid and with a few
other minor faults.
"A legislature elected as the re-.
suit of a passionate desire to say, do
or think nothing to oppose the ma
chine, said, did and thought nothing
worth a thinkers dam, which is q
small resin obstruction used by tin
ners to prevent the flow Of molten
solder. So we repeat, that machine
held together solely by a desire to
lick the Democrats-which Is laud-
able object, but hardly a lifework-
will not amount to tinker's dam in
the end"
New York editors, regardless OF
party, are saying pretty much the
same about their State legislature,
though none of them have said 1t so
well. 80
A calm observer is bound to admit
that this years legislative crop thus
far, the country over, is the leanest,
driest and sickliest output Of many
years. Regardless of political COM
plexion, most of our State legislatures
have shown about the same defects
as the Kansas crowd.
In nearly every case the trouble
may be traced to lack of response
BILE and intelligent leadership. But
why there should be so notable a lack
of responsible and intelligent lead.
ers remains to be explained.
