spire and gladden. true country
home
No longer are We content to have
our country homes mere storage
places of pictures, books and furni-
ture discarded from city houses.
Those who live thus are still in the
pioneer stage. I'VE have come 10 see
that the country home worthy its
name must combine with the joy and
the privilege Of the glad, free, out
door life the comfort and the conven-
ience Of the city dwelling. Herein
the remodeller brings to his work the
bet n all the past modified by the
best in our current civilization: he
feels the olden spirit and expresses
il in modern terms; he establishes
harmony between the life outside
and the life within, and from origin
al baroness evolves a country home
Of comfort, charm and individuali-
ty.
In the problem Of remoddelling a
country house three elements are vi
tai in determining the plans: the site,
! the surroundings and the amount Of
money to be expended. The extent
of the plot of ground, if restricted to
a small area with little likelihood OF
future increase by accession, will be
an important factor in deciding the
general changes of the house, as one
types of building require more space,
further distance from the road and
other essentials to bring out their
best lines.
A country house should harmonic
with it's surroundings in design, COL
or ard materials. Al house standing
out boldly on the top of a hill and
visible for miles should differ essen
tally in appearance from one nest
ling in among the trees at the edge
of the woods, from a house on the
banks of a lake or from villa set
back from the village street. Every
natural advantage from the stand
point of health, view, light, and con-
venience should be utilized, every dis
advantage neutraliZed. The amount
of money to be expended is a factor
determining the extent and manner
in which the other two vital elements
may be best met and mastered.

A Wealthy Beggar.
Bamberg Herald.

DdilUSl I1cldIN
A woman was making the rounds
of Bamberg residences this week beg
ging for money to buy ticket to
Chester with The identity of the
woman is not known, but her de-
scription answers to that of beggar
who was arrested in Newberry few
weeks ago. The Newberry woman
put up the same hard luck story she
wanted to go to Chester and did not
have money enough to purchase the
ticket. She was known to the au-
thorities there as an old offender
and a huge faker. When arrested,
she was found to possess on her per-
son some fifty-odd dollars. and also
had in her possession a bank book
showing that she had on deposit in
Columbia bank nearly $1,000. She
forfeited her bond in Newberry, and
left on the next train. Her peculiar
characteristic in NeWberry was that
when anyone refused to give her
money, she became exceedingly wroth,
and fired volumes from her tongue.
Some parties in Bamberg met with
the same reception when the beggar
here was not given money.

ed that he was a South Carolinlan,
but not knowing his identity, would
proceed to give vent to their feelings
towards Cole Blease and would most
numerically criticise the eX-govef-
nor of South Carolina for many OF
his acts during his administration as
governor. Wni!e dining one evening
ct a hotel at a pleasure resort, he was
engaged in conversation with young
woman, when she learned that the
man to whom she was speaking was
from South Carolina, she herself be-
ing a M;ssissippian, proceeded to tel
HIM what she thought of such ali
awful man as they had for governor
in South Carolina, who had turned
convicts and criminals out of the
penitentiaries, who was against pro-
hibition, etc.
Why" she declared, "she would
not even speak to such a man, she
wouldn't for second think OF per
mitting such an awful creature to be
introduced to her-a man who pro-
tected vice and crime and who, she
stated, handed out pardons by the
Wholesale She was then informed
that the man to whom she had been
addressing her remarks was none
other than he, the famous Cole L.
Blease, of South Carolina, Of whom
she had heard so much. For some
time the young woman and her moth
er were dumbfounded, Mr.. Blease
stated. Their heads suddenly drop
ped almost as if they had been str1ck-
en-, Mr.. Blease said. Then world OF
apologies were in order and for the
remaining ten days, during which
time the people connected with this
little incident came to know eacn
other better, perfect harmony pre-
vailed.
Mr.. Blease said he ofttimes makes
it point to draw out from stran-
gers their opinions of the former gov
ernor of South Carolina, just to learn
exactly the various opinions that diff
ferent people have of him and In
what esteem he is held.

weather at the present time. The
farmers are beginning to prepare their

Grain crops are looking better IN

The writer wishes to say just few
words to those who are "gossips and
tat1ers"
When you talk, talk on some sub
ject that is worthy of the thought
and attention of human being. The
old saying that silence is often golden
is never so true and appreciated as
when by breaking silence people gos-
sip about their neighbors and friends.
Most people talk altogether too much;
the people would be better off If they
would hold their tongues. A large
! part of the mischief that afflicts So
ciety and human beings comes from
thoughtless tatling.
People look grave, lower their
voices to a whisper, put on every
wise look and say. "Have you heard
the news? Mrs Blank told Mrs. Mill
that old Mr.. Gun heard from Mr..
Fudge who heard from Mrs. Yarn
who had it direct from some one else
that Mrs. Crank overheard Mr..
IStretcher say that young Mr.. Edwin
was paying attention to some young
lady, she did not know exactly who.
but there could be no doubt about the
truth of the story" And so all the
old gossips listen and express their
surprise by saying, "Ah' and "Oh,'
and think its SO strange.
This sort of twao-.e forms a large
part of conversation. 1t is like a
freshet in spring. Pay no attention
to them. ignore them, pass them by,
treat them as they deserve.
"To speak no slander-no, nor listen
to it." such was the words of Kins
Arthur to his knights. Such, too, is
the principal on which alone people
must conduct themselves who would
! escape the bite of the weapon which
cuts deeper than sword-namely,
"a tatling tongue" and who would
for their own part live in perfect
| charity with all men. There is aa-
thority even greater than King Ar
thur against talking. Our Lord and
all His apostles condemn it as mis-
chievious and harmful habit, which

of the world-yes, and the experience
of every one-fully testify to the wis
dom of the condemnation. But who
