One -day while the late Senator
Hearst, father of William Randolph
Hearst, the publisher, was a y0uie
man and yet had his fortune to mate
he and a few companions were on a
prospecting tour. Along in the aft
noon they sighted a band of Indians
and as In those days all Indians were
hostile Mr. Hearst and his friends
naturally wanted to get away from
there. All the prospectors except the
future senator were mounted on
horses. Mr. Hearst was on a retired
army mule and soon found himself in
the rear.
The Indians were on his trail and
thinss began to look serious when he
called out to his rapidly disappearing
companions: .."Hold on, boya! there's
only'aTfew of them we needn't ba
afraid."
Jnst then the mule scented the ap
proaching Indians and with a wild
snort started out with a gait that koo-.i

The Largest Candle.
The making of an ordinary domestic
v.-ax or tallow candle Is sufficiently
wonderful to the lay mind to excite
comment, but a candle has lately been
lighted in Rome that is 11 feet 3
Inches in height, and will burn fcr six
yer.rs.
In various places of worship candies
are used in their symbolic son--&:o3
cf vast proportions, but V..-, c-.q
In question is a giant of its clan. The
first step in the making cf this mam
moth candle was to construct the wick,
a wick that would burn clearly and
cleanly, and need no snuffing.
Suspended by a derrick over a vat
:f boiling wax, lire wick wes dipped
no fewer than 200 times, till the re
quired quantity cf wax adhered to it,
ar.d between each dip the wax picked
up had to dry off.

The encouraging- news comes from
Washington that Representative
Webb, of this State, is confident that
his bill preventing the shipping: of
whiskey into dry territory will be
come a law at this session of Con
gress. There is no reason why a
sovereign State of the union shall
not have its own way about what
kind of business may be carried on
within its borders. If a State out
laws whiskey and prevents its citi
zens from dealing in it, there is no
reason why people of other States
should be allowed to ship it into
that State in opposition to the will
of a majority of the citizens. A
conference of business men will be
held in Washington during the week
beginning December 16th when a
united appeal will be made to urge
the passage of this law. It is under
stood that the whiskey interest will
also have their representatives there
and it remains to be seen which side
shall win in this important question.
The present-day attitude of the
civilized world toward the man who'
gets drunk is quite different from
what it was only a few years s?go.
Not many years ago society held in
close embrace the "drunken genius,''
who was regarded as such a brilliant
man, except when on a spree. It
was even argued that literary men
could do their best work under the
inspiration of stiong drink. But
not long ago one of the ablest edi
torial writers in the country gave
this advice to young writers: "If
you are unable to write brilliantly
except when under the influence cf
drink, it is a sure sign you were not
intended for a writer; change your
occupation at once." Good society
of to-day frowns upon the man who
gets drunk and he finds himself in
an unsympathetic world. In the
business world the drinker must also
take a back seat. He is less efficient
than hi sober brother and is r.o
longer trusted for the better posi
tions. Many of the largest railways
ia the country refuse to give em
ployment to the man who takes even
an occasional drink, if the fact is
known. The time has come when
even the moderate drinker is rot
wanted, for these make the drunk
ards. The sober man docs better
work than the one who depends upon
artificial stimulant and can main
tain his power long after the others
have burned out. Wadesboro An-sonian.

Columbia, S C, Dec. 6. Complete
details of the life story of the de
structive cattle tick will be depicted
in moving picture films at the Fifth
National Corn Exposition here next
month. Uncle Sam will conduct a
moving picture show at the Exposi
tion, as one of the numerous fea
tures of the elaborate government
exhibit, and one entire reel will be
devoted to a close, detailed study of
the life and habits of this expensive
pest, its rapacious methods of ob
taining a living, and the most effect
ive methods of eradicating it.
The cattle tick film has recently
been completed, after two years of
research in obtaining pictures. It
has been given a preleminary try
out before Secretary Wilson and
other officials of the department,
but its first public appearance will
be reserved for the Ff th National
Corn Exposition, which opens Janu
ary 27th. This reel is highly in
structive, and will especially inter
est the cattle owners of the South,
who are estimated to lose annually
from $50,000,000 to $100,000,000
through the cattle tick alone. Mag
nified many times, the ticks in ail
stages of growth will crawl upon the
screen before the audience.
This reel is supplementary to the
cattle dipping vat another instruct
ive feature of the department ex
hibit, at which will be actually dem
onstrated this most certain, effect
ive and permanent method of dedi
cating the cattle tick.
