Well, "Music both charms to soothe etc" so for a short while the guests forgot the donkey, while the latter stubbornly clung to his idea. Again our fair hostesses had gone to the poets for inspiration and had a score or more quotations, short yet &pt, written separately on strips of paptr, which weie afterward cut in two, half of which were distribu ted to the ladies of the party, the other half to the gentlemen. These were then matched, ladies with gentlemen. The gentlemen had this del ghtful privilege of tak ing the lady holding the discover ed half into the dining loom, where dainty refreshments were served. The feature of the evening, how ever, was the Curiosity Shop. In a small room designated the Curiosi ty Shop were placed many small articles of house hold use, or orna ment, into this room the guests were permitted to keep the fraction of a time and then give a meatal inven-T tory of the contents.

Tte former, a box of fine station ery wnt to Miss Annie Lee Black; the latter, a cake of soap to Miss Florence Luther. The occasion was highly enjoyed.

Inj September l'.)0(;, 1 at the request of 1 I many citizens and from my own conviction wrote a petition asking; the County Commissioners to btul i a bridge across above named stream at what is known as the old Skeen ford near where David Thomas lives and owns land. This petition was signed by a number of the people of this county, I think nearly one hundred. Ou tee nrst Monday in Oct. 1906 a citizen of this community in company with m y-s e 1 f went before the board of commission ers urged the necessity and justice of building the bridge. After some consideration by the board we got the understanding that they would later on build the bridge. In a short whiie a Mr. Cox, who is a builder of bridges in this county came to the place, estimated length and cost and said he would make a favorable report. So far as I was concerned I felt sure that at a proper time when the commissioners could con sistently do so they would order it built. Since then I understand the commissioners have decided to build it at anothar point. Now I come to the point after the above explanation, why I write this letter. Some one, I do not know who, has circulated a report that I abaut'oud my first desire in the matter and became a party or will ing at least to secure the bridge' at another place, other than the one first men imed, and I have been told by a friend that such a report was abr md. I say here and now that I have never changed my opinion a. bout where the bridge should be built I have been conscientious and honest in my opinion looking from the stand point of the greatest good to the greatest number and am ex actly the same way yet. No man has ever heard me say or hint other wise. I grant to all people the rights which I claim mj-self, that o thinking and acting on my own judgment aUd in all matters iu which the public good is coucerned I have attempted to do wl a" I thought was best, although my judgment may have been at fault. To disabuse the mind of any men who have heard this 1 write this letter. I have never vet deserted any cause in which I was enlisted for reward, the hope of it or for any other consideration. I re gret that circumstances make it necessary for me toentr in print in this kind of a letter, yet in defense of i y self and in justice to my friends I am forced to do so. I have no quarrel to make with any one who differs with me, if he is honest in his convictions. But he that wilfnlly seks to damage nn- bv false statements is the man f who n this letter is written. I am with great respects, Louis 0. Phillips Thomasville R. F. D. No. 5 January 21st 1907. Parks X Roads.

Presence of Mind of mn EtshteaatTa Centarr Irish Woman. In looking over some family papers nd bundles of old letters I discovered one by Mrs. Jeffereys of Blarney cas tle. County Cork, which contains an account of a circumstance interesting In Itself as an instance of heroism on the part of the narrator toward her brother, the Earl of Clare, and so valu able as bringing to light a remarkable event connected with the history of those troubled times that I feel I km only discharging a duty Iu submitting It to the notice of the editor. The letter Is dated 0 Molesworth street, July, 1S07, and, among other matters, Mrs. Jeffereys writes as fol lows: "On the day Lord Fltzwilllam was recalled, when my brother (as chancel lor) was returning from the castle aft er having assisted at the swearing In of the newly arrived lord lieutenant, a ferocious mob of no less than 6,000 nieu and several hundred women as sembled together iu College green and nil along the avenue leading to my brother's house. The nale part of the Insurgents were armed with pistols, cutlasses, sledges, saws, crowbars and every other weapon lipeessnry to break open my brother's house, and the wo men were nil of tlimi armed with their aprons full of paving stones. This ferocious and furious mob began to throw showers of stone Into my broth er's coach, at his coachman's head and his horses. They woun led my brother in tin? temple in College green, and if he had not slieliered himself by hold ing his great square oilicinl purse be fore hint he would have been stoned to death before he nrriwi! (through the back yard! at his own house, whore v i i ! i several smiihy sieo.ses they were working, hard to break into his hall door, while others ol' tln-iu had ropes ready to tix up to bis lamp lrou to hang him the moment ihey could find him, when I arrived, disguised in my kitch- n maid's i!:-ess, my blue apron full of stones. I mingled with this numerous molt and addressed a pale, sickly man, saying: 'My dear jey'l. whnt'H become of Ims! I am after running from the castle to tell yeas all that a regiment of hos Is galloping down here to thram- ple hus, etc. Oh. yea. yea, where will we go';' Then they cried: 'Hurry, hur ry, the hos is coining to charge and thraiuple hus! Hurry for the custom house.' And in less than a moment the crowd dispersed. "I then procured a surgeon for my brother and a guard to prevent another attack, and thus I saved Lord Clare's life at the risk of being torn limb from limb If I had been recognized by any of the mob." London Notes and Que ries. Delay In Divorce. "The underlying reason why bo much time usually elapses between the filing of petition and the hearing or trial In divorce proceedings Is not generally understood," remarked a lawyer who makes a specialty of this character of practice. 'Terhaps it Is within the cir cle of truth to say that In a majority of cases, If either htisband or wife, whichever side be plaintiff, should 'stop, look and listen,' as it were, the trouble would be adjusted out of court entirely. As a rule, Judges are Inclin ed to afford ample time for domestic partners to ponder well before pursu ing further toward legal redress for matrimonial difficulties. 'Divorce in haste and repent at leisure is a logical paraphrase. Of course, if after ma ture reflection a different opinion does not ensue, the average jurist would fa vor progressing the suit." Xew York Tress. Chill and Hot Baths. Hot water bathing is beneficial in counteracting the effect of a chill. First, it undoes nnother mischief work ed by the chill. The lattet has sent too much blood internally, so risking con gestion. Heat brings the blood to the surface. Ifeat Is not life, but it ia one of the factors of life. Indeed, dis solution always occurs when the In. ternal bodily temperature is ' greatly lowered. Heat will not keep a body alive and great heat will kill It. In many morbid states of the system, aa rheumatism, hot baths are of great service. Warm baths nre useless. The bent should be as greut aa can be borne without pain. Fakir. Fakirs Is the name given to a cele brated class of fanatics found In many parts of the east, but more particularly in India. Some of them will make a vow to continue all their lives in one posture and adhere to it strictly. Oth ers never lie down, but remain in a standing position all their lives, up held only by sticks or ropes under the armpits. They pretend to have sub dued every pnsslon of mortality. MIKht Be Worse. When the poet 'Wordsworth died an old lrtdy at Ambleside lost no time iu telling the mournful news to an old and confidential manservant. "Ey, ey!" quoth Thomas. "It's a gre't loss nne doot. but efter a it may not be sic a parlish loss as ye're coontln' on. Mrs. Wordsworth, they say. Is a gey, clever body, and she'll be carryln' on the business, we may be sewer." Confldenpe.
