Of my load.
It's city Of contentment Trouble may not enter

The Germans aren't getting many spies
to England or France through New York.
They've turned recently. as a eonse-
quence, TO Spanish America. That men-
ace, TOO, a distinguished officer OF the
intelligence corps told me. has been pretty

A few days before. he said. a clever

He looked like Latin. He talked like

America he had hoodwinked the crew
and all the passengers except one woman,
who had known him for years and who
had penetrated his disguise. Still she
was friendly and he had unlimited conf
dence in his masquerade.
When the boat reached England he was
one oil the first hailed before the alien Of

his passport was in perfect order. The
alien officer found il so, but he glanced
suspiciously at the man and told him TO

really only his compliance with the recent
orders 10 be careful with apparent Span

suspected nothing out OF the way. But
the fellow hadn't ioreseen anything like
that. 1t appeared TO threaten more than
was the fact. In panic he scribbIed a
note, which read: 'For Gods sake don't

How The Grocer Was Named.

Nothing Is so necessary In any commu-
ity, nothing so unacceptable as the gro
Gerry. II the first business OF the iron
tier settlement. and II plays the most i'm
portant role in the business drama OF any
town. One can hardly imagine city. In
any age, in which there were no grocery
stores; and yet the institution Is a COM
paratively modern one. DO you know
how groceries originated 2
Only a lew hundred years ago certain
ioresighted iradesmen In France went
about the country buying up bargain lots
OF merchandise. They bought fire dam
aged goods, bankrupt stock, all sorts OF
commodities. They bought these things

The trade was carried 10 England, where
a man who bought hardware. thread, fur
niture. vegetables zen gros," or In large
quantities, called himself an zen grossef.
This was later shortened TO "grocef," but
The term was stll applied to the proprietor
OF a general business. The grocer was
a SORT OF racket shop. like the modern 10
cent store.
Gradually. II appears. the grocer"
found il more profitable 10 deal In tea,
coffee, spices. fruits and nou-perishable
foodsiuits, and he confined his attention
to these things. lie took over the busi-
mes OF the "spicer"-and In France the
shop which we call a grocery Is still
known as an "epicerle." So tar was
the original meaning OF the term lost
sight oi that man who dealt exclusively
in fresh vegetables came to be known as
green grocer"

An Expensive Fishing Trip.

An ardent fisherman was President
Cleveland, and a writer in the New York
Sun says OF him that he enjoyed angling
Tor the fish that would moi bite quite as
much as he did for those that would.
While fishing one day. dressed 10 oilskins
and a sloueh hat. he was addressed by an
angler garbed in the height OF piscsional
fashion with:
Hello, boaiman ! You've certainly got
a good catch What will you take iof
the hsh2"
"l'm not selling them" replied the man
in oilskins.

"what do you want 10 take me out fishing

Mr.. Cleveland, who was plainly enjoy
ing the Joke, replied. ~ can't make any
engagement except by The season. VIII

Final Action.

As vice. e-president OF the Pullman Com
pany, Gen. Horace Porter used 10 receive
numerous complaints from supeDensi-
tive military meu who had occasion 10
travel in the eompany's cars.
One Of these, riding on an extra train
huniedly added one day in holiday
rush, deemed the negro porter negligent
in some Of hesmsII details and demand
ed his instant discharge.
Realizing that. in the circumstances.
the empIoye had been exoiszble, the ger
ersI replied simply that investigation was
being made. Again the protest came.
Then again and again, each more violent,
vehement and yindietiye than the last.
Attempts 10 moIlify the complainant iailed
utterly, and he wrote finally with such
lefoctty that the general dictated this re-
port:
"Sir: Thanking you for your tsyor,
permit me 10 say that we have hanged
the porter. shot The conductor, burned the
cars and discontinued the line. ! trust
that This viii Be entirely satisfactory 10

Stopped Ills Paper.

Mr.. George T. Argabrite, for many
years par owner and one OF the editors
Of the G,eenbher Independent, but who
retired from journalism some years ago
and is now rich farmer, tells the story
OF a certain citizen OF Greenbrier county
who stopped his subscription for the
Independent. The man said he didn't
think he really needed the paper and be-
lieveG he could put the 81 50 TO better
use. Eighteen months went by and the
incident had almost faded from Mr.. Ar
gabriie's memory when one day this
same citizen came into the cffice again
and said he wanted TO resume his sub
scription for the Independent and pay for
three years in advance. Mr.. Argabrite
expressed pleasure and some surprise
and asked what had so changed the mind
of his visitor. "Why," the man answer
ed, my stopping the Independent has
cost me $4,000 that know Of and ] do
not know how much more. ] had debt
against Bill Smith over in district. He
died something over year ago and !
never knew thing about II because ]
did not take the Independent. His estate
was brought TO settlement, notice 10 his
creditors being advertised in the lnde-
pendent, but did not know Of II. for !
wasn't taking the paper. Now find that
the estate has been completely settled
and dispersed. no property in anybody's
hands that can reach, and while all the
other creditors got their money ! have
lost mine because, like fool. stopped
the paper thinking I'D save dollar and
a halt. Here's $50 for three years
subscription in advance and intend TO
continue taking the independent as long
as draw the breath Of Iife."
This illustrates one Of the many phases
Of service good county paper renders
its readers. And the canceling Of that
service is always an injury IN one form
or another, and never real saving

Ills Luck.

A man from Massachusetts who recently
returned from an automobile trip through
northern New England had small mishsp
on the way home that obliged him 10 do
some tinkering on the car. AS the break
down occurred in a pleasant bit oI woods,
the family found amusement in strolling
abont the nighborhood while the head
OF the family made the repairs.
He had been at work only few minutes
when an old man stroIled up with his
hands behind his back and prepared TO
watchthe progress ofthe work He asked
no questions and offered no comments,
but his face wore friendly smile. After
a time, having apparently grown tired Of
standing, he found a seat on a rock by the
side of the road and continued to watch.

owner at last.

gate, expecting to survey the grounds.
Just at this time, however. guard about
500 yards away came running toward us
with the most threatening gestures and
with an upIiited club commanded US TO
get away as fast as We could. We ieign-
ed ignorance OF his commands for few
minutes. but il was 10 no avail. Some Of
our friends later on. hearing OF our en-
counter with the imperial guard. laughed
heartily at the idea OF any person trying
TO enter the palace.
After sailing day from Yokohama ihe
Monteagle reached Kobe at daybreak
Sunday morning, October 9th. Being
caught in the fringe ofa typhoon, we could
notland on the company'slaunch, butstay-
ed on board until 6 O'Clock that evening.
Then Miss M. and went Immediately TO
the home Of DR.. Harry Myers, our Pres
byterian missionary. AT the time, how
ever, he was away from home preaching
in Japanese church. The surroundings
OF his home surprised me very much.
Even on dark night you could see that
il was pretty and commodious house,
but you had the feeling that you were
imprisoned by thick bamboo fence
eight feet high around the house in all
directions. Such fence is built around
many mission-houses TO protect the in
mates from the crowds OF inquisitive
natives.
About noon the next day DR.. Myers
gave us a short and pleasant visit on the
Monteagle. He made glowing account
OF the recent encouraging results from the
work OF his churches and schools in
Kobe, city OF 100000, containing five
Southern Presbyterian churches.
About o'clock that morning had
visited the Nanko temple, which furnish
ed me with very impressive proof OF the
pathetic need OF Christian churches. AT
this early hour streams OF laboring men
on their way to work stopped at the
shrines in the temple yard and performed
their morning worship. The half dozen
or more shrines in the temple are merely
so many ordinary sheds with rope sus-
pended that carries large bell. The
worshippers with clasped hands merely
shake the rope several times, making the
bell ring 10 attract the attention OF the
god, drop some coin in the box 10 ap-
pease the god, and then retire without
further ceremony. People OF all ages and
conditions went through this heather
worship this morning. Upon all OF them
you seemed TO see the expression OF deep
sincerity. Doubtless through this habit
ual exercise everyday from childhood a
firm conviction had become deeply in
wrought into the fabric Of their minds.
Surely, if the opponents Of foreign mis-
sions in the church could witness such
pathetic attemps 10 grope after God, they
would be glad TO share in the work OF
sending these people the satisfying
explanation Of the deep things OF God
that is found only in the life OF Christ.
Next Thursday, November I'd, expect
TO land at Shanghai, and then will 90 i'm

idea Of putting In another exchange II
the people Of this town would put in
half of the money and vote them a
franchise. There were about fifteen OF
them in town working among the vot-
ers and they showed themselves to be
good politicians. but the people of the
town were afraid that much inconveni-
ence would be caused by two telephone
systems in the town and they voted the
franchise down by a vote of 2l5 TO

between the present telephone manage

the business men Of the town tried to
make peace and 1t Is now hoped that
better understanding may be had be-
