tumorous fjrpattment. A Bit of Surprise. Into the office of a Philadelphia doctor, according to the Philadelphia Ledger, came a tired man. one morning this week, who wished treatment. The physician put on his eyeglasses, looked at the man's tongue, felt his pulse, sounded his chest, and said: "Same old story, my friend. Man cannot live without fresh air: no use trying. I could make myself a corpse, as you are doing by degrees, if I sat down in my office and didn't stir. "You must have fresh air; you must take long walks, and brace up by "* ? ?.? nn? nf ilnnrs Now.

"That's right: argue the question. That's my reward. Of course, you know all about my business. Now, will you take my advice? Take long walks every day?several times a day, and get your blood Into circulation." "But my business?" said the patient. "Of course, your business prevents it: everybody says that.

Kept the Secret.?A well-known uptown man, a lover of fine horseflesh, saw a fine buggy horse which he thought he wanted. He located the owner and asked the price. "One hundred dollars," was the reply. After looking the animal over and trying her speed he concluded it was a good trade and wrote out a check for the amount. The next day he found that the mare was blind, but this did not hinder her speed or detract from her general appearance. He drove the animal for several weeks and succeeded in attracting the attention of another lover of horses, who made a proposal to buy. "Well," said the owner, "I gave $100 for her, but I'll let you have her for $125 if you want to buy." After looking her over and taking a short ride behind her the man decided to buy. He paid over the money and took the mare. When the animal was unharnessed the first thing she did was to run against a post: then, by way of emphasizing the fact that she was blind she fell over a barrel. The next day the buyer came back with blood in his eye. fVkof maro VOll sold Oity, y\J u ivuvn wuww >??*. V ^ ? ? me?" he began. "Well, she's stone blind." "I know it," replied her past owner, with an easy air. "Well, you didn't say anything to me about it." said the purchaser, his face red with anger.

How to Catch Rabbits.?When off duty Prof. Richards of Yale enjoys a joke, and his pupils often come to him when they have heard a new Uq qHHc fn the fnn sometimes with a witticism of his own. Such was the case when one of the students perpetrated the following antiquity: "Professor, wouldn't you like a good receipt for catching rabbits?" "Wh.v. yes." replied the professor. "What is it?" J "Well, you crouch down behind a thick stone wall and make a noise like a turnip," answered the youth. Quick as a flash came the reply: "Oh, a better way than that would be for you to go and sit quietly in a bed of cabbage heads and look natural." A Good Story.?One of the best stories told of the late Sir Andrew Clark is the following: At a dinner party one nigfiht he noticed that the lady sitting next to him at the table passed a dish to which he helped himself plentifully. He asked if she did not like it, as it was excellent. She replied: "Oh, yes, I like it, but my physician forbids me to eat it." "Stuff and nonsense." said Sir Andrew, "it could not hurt any one. Who is your physician?" To which the lady, whom the medical magnate had forgotten, answered, with a demur twinkle in her eye: "Sir Andrew Clark." Insufficient.?A couple of charming young country girls, sisters, anticipating a week's pleasure at the seashore, sent the following letter to the editor of the woman's department of one of the city dailies: "We are two sisters, and, never having been at the shore, are a little in doubt about our bathing costume. Would a costume of this description be all right: Black Mohair waist with white trimmings and short sleeves and skirt of, the same material coming just below the knee?"

Lantern, August 25: Mr. Arthur Cornwell suffered a second stroke of paralysis on yesterday at his father's home at Cornwell, his right side being paralyzed. A phone message this morning from Cornwell stated that all hopes for his recovery have been dispaired of. He has been unwell for some time On August 9th the colored folks of Gethsemane church were holding a revival. Some disturbance was aroused and several of the congregation produced knives, and one man received a gash across the forehead. William Gaston and James Boyd were soon placed in jail for causing the disturbance. On Saturday the preliminary hearing was held before Judge J. J. McLure. The prisoners were remanded to Jail. They were able to give bond for their appearance at the next term of court. There are others charged with the same offense, but who have not been arrested Mayor W. H. Hardin and Senator P. L. Hardin of Bascomville, left Saturday afternoon for Baltimore, where the latter will again undergo treatment. It will be remembered that Senator Hardin underwent a course of treatment in Baltimore several months ago. This summer he spent two weeks at the springs, returning home about two weeks ago. Since his return, he has not been so well, and he felt that it. was necessary to return to the hospital. His many friends will regret to learn that it was necessary for him to return to Baltimore, but it is sincerely hoped that his condition may be greatly benefitted thereby The meeting at Pleasant Grove Presbyterian church closed on Sabbath. Rev. J. K. Hall, who did the preaching through the week, returned to McConnellsville Saturday morning: The many friends of Mr. W. B. Lynn, formerly of this county, but now of Rock Hill, who has been lying for some time with typhoid fever, will be glad to know that he is improving As mentioned in last issue, the Hazelwood Rifles are to have a picnic at Cornwell on Sept. j 3d. They invite their friends and the public generally and ask that they bring "the well filled baskets" to help feed the visiting soldier boys. Co. I, Capt. Mills, Chester; Co. L, Capt. Moore, Yorkville; Co. H, Capt. Boyce, Rock Hill; and perhaps Co. N, Capt. Spratt, Fort Mill, will be guests of Co. G (Hazelwood Rifles) on that day. Maj. J. H. Marion will command the battalion. Gen. Jno. D. Frost and Col. J. C. Boyd are also expected to be present.

In nearly every war between savage tribes and civilized powers today the savages are assisted by white men who have become traitors to civilization. Such renegades are scattered through all the remote corners of the earth. The British troops campaigning in Somaliland are learning to their cost that the Mad Mullah is assisted by a white man familiar with the art of modern warfare. His name is Karl Inger. He was an officer in the Austrian army until a year or two ago. An English officer, Capt. Thorp, of the Yorkshire Light infantry, who knew him at Budapest, speaks of him as an exceptionally brilliant soldier, with a natural gift for tactics and for commanding men. Inger used to speak bitterly against the English and was fond of expressing sympathy with native races in their struggles with civilization. He would rail by the hour against the treatment of the Indians in the United States, of the Kaffirs in South Africa and of the Hindus in India. He disappeared from Budapest shortly before the outbreak in Somaliland, and his acquaintances were not surprised to hear that he was fighting as a lieutenant of the Mad Mullah. Native spies reported that he adopted the Mohammedan religion in Cairo and was taken to the Mullah's camp through Italian Somaliland by some Arab pilgrims whom he met in Cairo on their return from Mecca. It is asserted that he had much to do with stirring up the recent war and persuading the Mad Mullah to defy the British. Curiously enough his old acqauintance, Capt. Thorp, has been "seconded" from his regiment and attached to the Somaliland field force as a special service officer. Thus they may meet face to face in battle. In that case one or the other is likely to go under, for Oant. Thorn, in common with the oth er officers of the British force, has vowed to risk the utmost peril to slay this traitor to civilization, who is held responsible for the cutting up of Col. Swayne's expedition some months ago. It is said that Lord Lansdowne, the British foreign minister, confidentially asked the Austrian government whether it was true that Inger had Joined the Mullah. The Austrian government replied that there was reason to believe he had, and added a hope that if he was caught, he would receive no mercy. Inger appears to be gifted with the qualities that impress the savage mind, lie is skillful in planning ambushes and stratagems, and is especially valuable to the Mullah because, knowing the effects of rifle and Maxim fire, he prevents the Somalis fron* madly facing it and being mowed down like corn, as the dervishes were at Omdurman. He takes care that they shall fight the British troops in the jungle under conditions which make the superior arms of the latter Ineffective. British officers say that the trouble in Somaliland would have been over long ago but for Karl Inger. If he were caught by native troops uncontrolled by an officer he would probably die by slow torture. A Zanzibari spy who has penetrated to the Mullah's camp asserts that Inger has made up his mind to shoot himself ratner man De capiureu. Another renegade from civilization, and one of the most notorious, is Osman Digna, the De Wet of the Soudan. He was the right-hand man of the Mahdi and afterward of the Khalifa. Ever since 1882 he has been a thorn in the side of the British. For many years he was supposed to be an Arab chieftain, but Slatin Pasha found that he is a white man, born of Scottish parents in Cairo. It is said that he was in the employment of the government of Egypt in his youth, but was cashiered for theft and blackmail on the complaints of some European merchants in Cairo. Burning for revenge, he went south and joined the Mahdi immediately the latter raised the standard of revolt against Egypt in 188^ He soon became known as the best general of the dervishes, inflicting defeat after defeat on the British and Egyptian troops, massacring whole armies, capturing cities and devastating many hundreds of miles of country. He took no prisoners, spared no neutrals. Wherever his swift cavalry and camel corps went they left a trail of desolation behind them. Mnnv efforts were made to caDture or kill Osmun Digna, but all without success. A former captive in the camp of the Khalifa says that an Abyssinian whom he had injured stabbed Osman violently over the heart. The knife broke in two, but Osman was uninjured. Naturally the ignorant Dervishes thought he was invulnerable. The simple explanation is that he wore a coat of very fine chain armor under his burnouse. A British officer recently told how he fought in hand-to-hand combat with Osman when the dervishes broke the British square at Tel-el-Kebir. "I got a thrust with my sword right home on his chest," said the officer, "and it should have gone through him, but his confounded chain armor turned the point of the weapon. A rush of the derVishes then swept us apart. "I remember him as a very tall and powerful man, with a most ferocious expression. He fought like a madman. His skin is tanned brown by the sun, but he looks like a white man, and I noticed that his eyes are light blue." When the nower of the Khalifa was utterly broken at Omdurman In 1898, Osman Digna escaped the slaughter, riding off the field with a small body of picked horsemen before the battle was over. Lord Kitchener was bitterly disappointed, and.sent expedition after expedition In pursuit of him. Most of his comrades, including the Khalifa, were captured and slain, but Osman always escaped. He is now dwelling with the Mabas, a Mohammedan Negro race, who are the ruling tribe in the Kingdom of Wadai. Natives assert that soon after Osman found refuge there he conspired with Abu Said, a son of the former king of Wadai, to assassinate the reigning king. The conspiracy was successful. Abu ?nid now rules over Wadai, with Osman as his prime minister. They are supported by hordes of the finest and most fanatical native fighting men in Africa, including the remnants of the Khalifa's forces. The English and French authorities in the Soudan expect that Wadai will give them serious trouble in the near future, now that Osman is there, xney fear it will be the centre of another outbreak as formidable as the Mahdi's. By an Anglo-French agreement made In March, 1899, Wadai was assigned to France. But in Africa it is one thing to assert authority and another thing to enforce it. Osman told the natives of the agreement, and they became indignant and resolved to fight the unbelievers. But Osman restrained them. He has learned by experience the power of a civilized army, and he does not mean to fight one again until he has a reasonable hope of success. The new sultan of Wadai has accepted Turkish suzerainty, and in return the sultan of Turkey has refused to recognize the Anglo-French agreement of 1899 and is lending his influence in support of the plots of Osman. Those who know the roan declare that Osman, inspired by his indomitable hatred of his own race, will never rest until he has stirred up another war and drenched Central Africa in blood. The Dark Continent is full of these romantic stories of traitors to civilization. One of the strangest is that of Capt. Voulet. He was a French military officer in the employment of the governor gen eral of French West Africa- He had command of a column of native troops In 1899 and was ordered to march toward Lake Tchad and explore the vast stretch of new territory which had just been assigned to France by the AngloFrench agreement. 4fc-was an important mission, and Capt. Voulet might have made a name for himself and become a second Major Marchand. But he had more ambitious dreams. He was fired by the example of Rabah, "the black Napoleon," who, starting in life as a slave of Zebhr Pasha, became the greatest conquerer and monarch in Africa, and was, at that very moment, successfully fighting the French. "Let us," he said to his subordinate, Capt. Chanolne, "become kings in our own right. This country Deiongs iu the men who can take it. "Let us carve out an empire for ourselves. We have a small army who will follow us in everything without asking the reason why." Chanoine agreed. They immediately threw off their allegiance to France and attacked village after village, tribe after tribe, with their column of troops. Some French non-commissioned officers who objected to this treachery were promptly murdered. Natives were massacred by hundreds and thousands, until the two renegades established a reign of terror over a wide area of the country. News of these strange doings soon reached the French colonial office, and a small expedition, under Lieutenant f'ninnpl Flohh and Lieutenant Meuhier was dispatched to find out the truth. Klobb overtook Voulet ~at Sinder, in Damangar, half way between the Niger and Lake Tchad. He asked for a parley, bu^ Voulet refused to aliow him to approach, threatening to fire on his party. Klobb advanced. shouting that he had come In peace and would not fire. Voulet received him with a volley. Klobb and most of his escort fell dead. Meunier, severely wounded, was borne away into the jungle by the survivors and escaped to tell the story to the authorities. Voulet and Chanoine were outlawed and a strong expedition sent against them. Before it could reach them they were shot by some of their men whom they had brutally flogged. The natives who had been under their command gave themselves up to the authorities. So ended Capt. Voulet's dream of becoming an African emperor. Renegade whites fought for the Ashantis against the British during Sir Francis Scott's expedition in 1895, and also when Sir Frederick and Lady Hodgson were besieged in Kumassi in 1900. On the latter occasion a white, who was believed to be an Englishman, was frequently seen trying to induce the Ashantis to assault the entrenchments of Kumassi. The British officers risked their lives over and over again attempting to slay him, but without success. Renegade whites have often fought against the British flag in the little wars on the northwestern frontier in India. An officer who was dismissed in disgrace from the Indian army for having told falsehoods in an official report is known now to be living with a Pathan tribe. He is believed to have frequently fought against his former comrades. A former officer of the Russian army named Leontieff is in the service of the Negus of Abyssinia. Opinions are divided as to whether he is simply a renegade white, as he appears to be on the surface, or a secret agent of the czar. During the Philippine campaigns several American deserters fought in the ranks of the Filipinos. Some were killed in battle and two or three were captured and hanged.?New York Sun. She ?torj! Seller. THEIR UST DAY [Copyright, 1903, by T. C. McClure.] "But I may write?" Gordon watched the bright face anxiously. She turned her shining eyes to him. "You missed it. utter all," sue said resentfully. "That last wave completely covered the giant's shoe. It was just like getting u great, cool drink when one Is very thirsty to see It." He gave a discouraged shrug. "What wus it you asked ine? I could .not help it?about the rock, you know. We had waited so long to see the tide reach It." "Can I write to you?" He turned to her eagerly, his late disappointment forgotten, one hand closing over hers. Miss Barrington withdrew the perceptibly tanned member. "You can,' she said suggestively. "But may I?" "I think not." "Why?" "Because?oh, because I should have to answer." "And would that be such a task?" Nan Harrington's eyes twinkled between narrowed lids. ">!? Cr.nlnn vnn ilnn't knnw what ?>ll VIVIUVili J VU UV1? % MMW .. you nre trying to bring upon yourself." she said gayiy. "Let me be the judge of that." "Oh, spare me any more expert opinions on the matter. My family decided that point long ago. I once wrote to Jack while he was at Harvard. His answer came to mother: 'Nan's latest effusion to hand. I gather that some one Is dead, but whether one of the family. Jim's fox terrier, your pug or her canury I'm blest If I know.' And It was none of them!'' she added, Inwardly convulsed at the recollection. Gordon, watching the sparkling face, could only laugh with her. "I think you should feel distinctly flattered." she said presently. "Why?" "Don't you see how I value your good opinion ?" He looked off over the sea with oi'uo Vnn'a cnzp followed his gJlSiruAj wj vm *?WM M 0 and her face sobered suddenly. "I wonder where we shall be a week from today at this time," she said speculatively. "The Houghtons have asked me to Join their party in the White mountains." he volunteered, "but?It doesn't matter about me. Where shall you be?" She had given him one quick look. A pleased smile lifted the corners of her mouth as she leaned back against their own particular rock. "I?I scarcely know yet." "You need not be afraid to tell me. I shall not worry you," he said quietly. Nan rose. "Let us get down close to the water? for the last time," she said slowly. Gordon followed her in silence while she climbed a riuge or roca wmcu rttu out luto the ocean and ended In a large table-like slab, worn smooth by the storms of many winters. ky and sea were a bewilderment of opal tints, with one fleecy, rose colored cloud near the horizon. The half a dozen sails In sight were touched into pale pink by the setting sun. The girl's eyes swept it all. Then she stretched out her arms to the beautiful scene. "Goodby," she whispered, and the eyes which Gordon could not see grew wet. "Don't!" His hand had closed over her arm with an intensity which hurt. To him these summer weeks had been as the birth of all things. She turned to him, but backed from oha ooir in hla pvps Then a shud derlng breath broke from her. Her feet bad slipped on the smooth rock. Wide, piteous eyes sought Gordon's as she felt herself sliding down the glasslike surface, where there was no bold, toward the ten foot depth of water, with its dreaded undertow. The one glimpse he had of them went through Gordon like a physical hurt ere he threw himself, face downward, on the rock with both arms dung out. His hands touched her shoulders and fastened on them like a vise. There was a breathless moment when It seemed as If her weight must drag him over. Then, lightly as she would have lifted a pebble, his splendid arms drew her up beside him. "Were you terribly frightened?" His voice vibrated with tenderness. The girl shivered and swayed against him. Gordon picked her up and carried her to the cliff path above. "I have not thanked you," she said then, but her eyes did not meet his. "I am sorry you thought it necessary." He walked beside her to the door of the pretty summer villa and stood with uncovered head. His heart died within him as he took the hand she silently held out and watched her white, troubled face. It was goodby then, after all. He bad reached the end of the path when her voice came to him: "Mr. Gordon!" He turned. "I think I do know, after all, where I shall be a week from today." Gordon came a step nearer. "I have decided"?she paused deliberately and the look which she sent straight into Gordon's eyes went to Ma head like wine?"within the last half hour to accept the Houghtons' Invitation to visit them next week in the White mountains." He took the steps at a bound, but she had escaped him. "Au re voir!" she called from half way up the staircase. And the tender face which looked down held the promise of all that made life worth while for Gordon. M.

AO Af)in?&l Story Por Little FolKs The Adjutant Bird Did you ever see an adjutant bird? Well, it Is a peculiar looking bird that has been given Its name on account of Its military appearance. I,shall tell you a story of the adjutant bird. He felt so much like a soldier that he began to think that all the birds should become soldiers and go to the bird store and release the birds that were in captivity. Well, he paid a visit to all of bis friends and urged them to join in this scheme, but none of them was in favor of it. "It is of no use to try any such plan as that." they said to him. "We will BUCKLED ON HIB SWOBD AND STARTED OFF. all be caught or killed. We cannot do any good by making any such attempt as you propose." He talked and talked to them, but they would not believe that the idea was a good one. "Well, then, I know what I will do," he cried boldly. "I will go alone and release all the birds that are kept in cages in the bird store and at private homes." So he put on his uniform and buckled on his sword and started off, feeling that he was a very mighty fellow indeed. Now there isn't very much more to my story except this: As soon as the bird store man saw him coming he got out a big net and threw it over the adjutant bird's head. Then he took off the bird's sword and pretty uniform and put him in a cage with his other birds. And not long after that the adjutant bird was sold to a lady, who hung him up in her parlor to show her friends what a fine creature he was.
