Witness: That's what I did! I said: "Children," said I, "the clirk at the law yer's will take your coat, and the lawyer will strip off your shirt, and as for the judge he'll skin you alive!"

THE GREAT ACTOR S STRONG AND LIFE LONG STRUGGLE AGAINST THE LIQUOR APPETITE. "Liquor had been his father's curse. It was his enticement and his martyrdom. His heroic struggle against the appetite endeared him more and more to those who knew him best. He would come to my table he was the godfather of my child, you know and men like Edwin Adams and myself would be there with our wine before us. We'd say, 'Ed, its too bad, old man, you can't join us." " Oh, don't mind me,,' he'd reply. 'I only regret I dare not, I dare not I dare not !" "I remember once a leading painter who lived in Brooklyn gave a grand fete champetre, which was romanesque in its prodigality. Booth went. Champagne flooded the place. He left the house and wandered in the garden. People who met him urged him to go back to the throng. He declined. Afterwards he said to me: " 'I suppose those people said, "Wc met Ted Booth down in the grounds playrng Hamlet." But if I'd gone back I might have Leen the merriest of all for an hour perhaps as bright as any. But when some of the guests left they would have stumbled over my prostrate figure in the gutter and said, "The brute! Why can't he stay away?" "It was because of his martyrdom that he took to his strong pipe, his strong cigars and his strong coffee, and they un dermined his system, shattered his nerves and drove him to a premature death, "I remember when he was playing Iago to Salvini's Othello one uurht in New York, he had taken a drink or two be fore coming on the stage. With his nervous organization and stomachic trou bles a glass of beer meant almost drunk enness. 'When in the play Salvini pushed him off, instead of staggering and recovering, he fell full length with his head light in the footlights. It was an awful thing, and you could hear the shivering 'ugh!' go through the theatre and across the stage. "That 'ugh!' sobered him in an instant, and they had to watch him all that night to keep him from self-destruction. He felt that he had disgraced himself forever, and it was only by the most touching appeals that he could be per suaded to go on the next night. But at last he cousentcd. "The play was 'Hamlet,' and he had the title role. You know the eutrance. When he appeared he couldn't face tht immense audience. But men and women rose in their chairs and shouted: "'Booth! Booth! Booth!' just to let him know that he was dear old Booth yet, no matter what might come. "Uou t you know, he just stood ou that stage and sobbed aloud. He could n't control his tears, and tho people be gan to weep with him. But then he turned and, ah, be played Hamlet that night as it was never played before." From an interview in San Francisco Ex aminer. QUEER IP TRUE, N. Y. Mercury. You may try this as many times as you like and it will never fail. Ask a person whether they weie born at night or in the daytime. If they do not know, bid them not to tell, but to clasp their hands together and that you will tell them. They must clasp the bands with the iin gers interlacing. Now, some people will do this bringing the right thumb over tho loft thumb and they were born at night. The samo person always does ii the same way. Any but their own nat ural way seems queer and unnatural. You will find that the person who clasps the left thumb over is surprised to find that anyone can diit any other way. No one has ever beeu alio to explaiu this matter.

IP CROPS ARE EXTRA SHORT WE CAN CHAW 11081' M AND EAT FRIED LIGHT WOOD KNOTS. ENFIELD- "They tell me that everything is poor outthcro in Alabainy poor lands, poor stock, poor folks and poor ways,'- the Texas liar opened up after putting a new half sole on his wad of tobacco, leanin' back till he sot down on his shoulders and haugin' his feet over three or four empty seats in front of us. "How in the thunderations do you fellers manage to dodge the poorhousc and the graveyard at the same time?" "Well, sir," says I, after sizin' my man up a8 best I could, "you are about half right, and about half wrong. We don't have no graveyards in Alabama they have gone clean and clear out of fashion. The land is powerful poor in spots too poor to sprout cow peas or grow nettles, but if crops are extra short and times un common hard we can chaw rosum and eat fried light-wood knots aud drink branch water and keep out of tho poor house. And wc have got a monstrous healthy country over there. People used to die in that country sometimes, but they don't do so now. They just live on and on and on till they turn to something good to eat or dry up and blow away. Now and then and hero and there you will run across a man who put too much salt in his dirt when he was a boy and has turned into what they call a petrified rock. But they don't get sick and lay down and die like they used to, and whensoever a fellow citizen gits old und wrinkled and broko down and tired out and weary with life and takes up a fool notion to commit suicide, all he has got to do is to pack up and move his washin' out of Alabama. Generally speakin', in three days after he crosses the State line and strikes a country where they sell coffins and build graveyards he will keel over and go dead. We may be poor folks and have poor ways, stranger, but you can bet your chin whiskers that we have got a monstrous healthy country where I come from." Montgomery Advertiser. LACK OF ENTERPRISE. "Let me have three fingers of whis key," he said to the clerk of a drug store in a Kansas town. "I can't," replied the clerk, who did not know the customer. "This is a pro hibition State." "I can't get a drink of whiskey, eh?' "No, sir; not withjut a physician's prescription, when it is to be used as a medicine." 'Is there no emergency at all in which you would be permitted to dispense a small quantity of whiskey without that formality a case of life and death, for instauce?" " Why yes," replied the clerk. "I sup pose if a man were to be bitten by a rattle snake, ii ud it would require sometime to go to a doctor and get a prescription, in that case it might be allowable to give him whiskey." "Do you know where I can find a snake?" was the next query, "Why, no," replied the clerk, greatly surprised at the query. "Well," commented tho thirsty one, with u great deal of disgust in his tone, "it seems to me that if this drug store had any enturplii! ii would keep a rat lleonako on hand for use iu cases of emergency. Harper's Magazine. The game of base ball played here last Monday by the Tillery and Enfield clubs was enjoyed by a large number of our citizens. Almost all the pretty girls turned out to sec the game and they en joyed it very much. The Tillery beys .went home the victors. The store of W. II. Barnes, of Whita kers, was broken into last Friday night and meat, coffee and sugat carried off'. Tho robbers also emptied the money drawer. A young negro was arrested here c n last Saturday night, and while he was being taken to the hall fur trial, he got loose from the constable and jumped about 12 feet to the ground and ran about GOO yards before he .was overtaken. Again he was carried up to the. hall; this time the police had a good hold on him and succeeded in getting him into the hall. Everything was ready for trin!, and when the mayor asked him a qu. -tion, ho turned and jumped through the window, carrying sash and all with hi'ii down about 14 feet into a lot of lumb.r. Everybody thought he was killed, but b.: got up aud out ran anything ever sei i here. In about an hour he returned o town as if nothing had happened.

The sooner one of these ladies is appointed the better will the patrons of this office like it. Miss Mary McGuire, of Oxford is here visiting Miss Marie Dennis.

Wc have long needed some thing which we could use ourselves and which could conquer the stubborn forms of chronic inflammation and congestion which lie at the foundation of all female troubles. That Dr. JcOill's treatment meets the demand of this long felt want is shown by tho fact that many cases which have tallied the skill of our best physicians, are being cured by it. I have pledged mysell to let my Buttering sisters in the above Counties know of this simple, entirely safe, yet wonderful cure. To accomplish this I must have tho help of some good Christian lady in each township. There are not less than one thousand ladies in each of the ahove Counties to whom this cure would be of inestimable value, many of them mothers who need strength that they may traiu their little ones; then there aie so many vounR girls whose trouble is not considered serious, but nevertheless need attention, as only a little time will be required tor it take the color from the cheeks and all the joy from their glad ynung lives as it has done in thousands of cases.
