To awake aud find himself in a cof fin, bound up with grave clothes in a htaay and on the perilous edge of the cemetery this was the experience a year ago of Joe Smith, the negro por- says the New Orleans Picayune. Had Joe awakened from his trance 10 minutes later he would have found himself buried alive stretched out in the eternal darkness beneath theground, and heard the dull clump of clods of earth falling; upon his head, felt the Ueadly chill of the underground creep IT , . ,1 . 1 lDg upon Dim aau seou tun awiui eyes of deaw creep closer and closer upon him until at length, unable to move, he suffocatedUo death in the rigid con fines of bis tomb, or went raging mad and died in a wild agony of terror. Ten minutes wal ail that stood between bim and this awful fate, and still Joe peaks ef it unmoved, and evenchuckles when he pictures what might have been, tin hair is nottXray. nor would one suppose on looking at him that he had come so close Jo the living bell. That rrmSy men are buried alive is a growing opinion. How many living souls are yearly doomed to such awful agony no man can know. But there are many men in this town who, wake up in the night time with the terrible remembrance that their child, their sister, their brother or their wife died in the morning and was buried before night, only a few hours apart, and there are at least three men in Mew Orleans to-day, high and respected in business and professional circles, whose hair is vfeite, with the fear that their loved snWwolta up- aflei!tl'll' lif "lrie""ciark- ioe 8mith had 1 habit of falling into trances ever since tS was 7 years old. fVIis first trance occurred at that age, and litBtad for 12 hours. - His second occurred ome12 years afterward and listed for 20 hours, and his last oc ccrrred a year and a half ago and lasted for 80 hours. Had the laBt trance en dured but a few moments longer Joe would 'have had no more. ' Joe tells his story without the faintest show of reluctance, and even seemed mildly proud to have it appear in the paper, ''I jes' dropped off for a sleep',' said Joe, "jes ord'jjar sleep, 'cuz de weather was, hot en' I d been wu'kin When I woke, up I couldn't see. 'Twas all ' dark 'round 'bout, and I smelt sump'n like er pine board. I tried to move an' ' I bit against a board, tried to ranch up my ban an my han' hit sump'n bard, I tried to open my moutli an' I foun' my jaw was tied. Then I felt a joltin' an' a stum blin an' a shakin' along, an' I knowed I was in a coffin an' boun' ferde grave yard. ry Den I raitch up my ban' an break de glass over my face. Den I use all my strenth an' break de board over de top sY de coffin an' I rise up." Here Joe paused to chuckle and luminous grin spread over his face. I b'long to three societies," he said, a' every member of every society was foltowin' dat hearse. We was Just tuiniu' frum Canal street into Rampart dat time, an' dey was a crowd 'roun' But whfcU I bruk through that 'a' bust, out de hearse, all wrapped in grave clothes an' with er handkerchief roun' my jaws an' sort 0' wild look in my eyes, in a minute I was all alone on Rampart street." "What's the matter, Joef Did your friends leave you?" iiuired the lis tener. "Dem niggers had 'nough," said Jjc. "All de same," be continued a minute later, "next time I die I'm gifine be mighty certin for shore I am dead befo' they gwine bury me. I'll bant 'em shore; I'll hant any doctor thet calls me dead befo' my spirit's in beaben, sho's I'm alive right now I will." Viewed as a Pastime. The man from Chicago looked with scorn at the Brambleville ticket agent as he handed out a dollar bill a ft pushed it through the opening. "You've got a pretty lot of citizens to allow themselves to be charged at the rate of five cents a mile from here down to Busbby on a miserable little crawling one-horse branch road," he said, bitingly. The ket agent looked at bim with a calmness which nothing could dis turb. "I'd like to call your attention to one fact before you go on usin' any more language," he said, mildly, "and that is that while it may be five cents a mile, it's only thirty-five cents an hour!" Tommy "Say, do you have family prayers at your house every morning?" Harry "No; we only have 'era just before we go to bed. We ain't afraid of anything in the daytime." ODTHERNERSl BC1LT FIR1 AITIKRICAN RAILKOAD. We present below some significant facts, from the address of I White, of the University of Georgia, delivered at the commencement exercises of the Louisiana State University, as taken from The Atlanta Constitution, which show that the old South did something more than produce patriots, soldiers anij statesmen : "The first railroad laid in America was financed by southern capital, en gineered by southern skill, constructed by southern labor, and operated upon southern soil by southern enterprise. The first steamship that crossed the Atlantic was built with southern money, owned by southern merchants, manned by southern seamen and Bailed from a southern port, The first systematic and accurate exploration of the great in terior body of this continent was made under southern leadership by southern pioneers and the nation will be called to celebrate the centennary of its ac complishment in Portland, Ore., a twelve-month hence. The first accu rate chart of the complex currents of the great Atlantic, and the first delin- eition of safe lines of transit across its stormy bosom were plotted by a south ern sailor, and remain today the trusted guides of all the mariners of the seas. "A greater value of precious metal has been won from southern mines by the skilled labor of southern, miners than has been taken from .the famed Eldorado of the west by hordes of ad venturers from all the world. The first cargo of Peruvian guano which entered an American port was applied intelli gently to the fertilization of southern farms. The first , purely indastriaf journal in America was edited by a southern man and issued from a south ern press. Before laebig , wrote of agricultural chemistry a Virgiuia country-gentleman was contributor to south ern newspapers of the results of careful experiments with soils and crops. Be fore Morrill entered public life a Geor gia gentleman endowed a chair of agri; culture in the university of his sUite- the first substantial provision for ap plied science made in the curriculum f any American institution of learning Before Hatch was known a Virginia gentleman dedicated his large private fortune to research and education in the local industries of his state. "The first great technical school in America (if not in time, certainly in importance), although established in Xew England, was the conception and the creation of a southern man, born and then living in the south, who. was called to its founding and direction for the first decades of its existence and until his death; still foremost amoig the institutions of its class, it is today largely officered by men of southern birth. ' It was a southern country doc tor who first dared test the lethal anti dote to pain and gave the world, in an esthesia, release from suffering incal culable; and the 'old-field school," dear to the traditions of the south, for all the derision in which it now is held, was, at least, as nonest in its purpose and as thorough in its work as many of the alien "tj-steins" which have been planted upon its ruins." Not What Sue Expected. An English lord was recently dining with a family in New York. The hos tess's little girl, says the Children's Visitor, sat opposite the lord and stared solemnly. "Are you an English lord, really and truly, sir?" she said at last. . "Yes," he answered, - laughing, really and truly." "I never saw an English lord before," she said. "I've always wanted to." And now you're satisfied, aren't you?" said the young man, gaily. "No, I'm not satisfied," respond! the little girl, "I'm disappointed." "V Sued sr file Doctor. "A doctor here baa sned me fori 13.50, which I claimed was excessive for a case of cholera morbus," says R. White, of Coachella, Cal. "At the trial he praised his medical skill and medicine. I asked him if it was not Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera anL Diarrhoea Remedy he nsed as I had good reason to believe it was. and he would not say nnder oath that It was not." No doctor could use a better remedy than thQin ase. of cholera morbus, it never fails. Sold by M. L. Marsh.

Tou tli's Companion. The farm was a lonely one, and the farmer's wife, a gentle, timid creature, livaid in dread of tramps. iThree times a year, when the farmer went to town for a day and a night, the night was a sleepless one for the poor little worn They kept no hired man except in the haying season. "Nobody ever hss come!" grumbled the farmer, when his wife poured forth her fears. "No, but some one nrtfcht," she pro tested. And sure enough, one evening the dreaded happened. It was late November, and cold. The ground was frozen, and the wind, as the farmer's wife expressed it, "was cruel." It was seven o'clock at night, the house was barred and bolted, the two children were getting ready for bed. There was a loud Knock af the door, followed by a succession of brisk raps. "Vh3 i there?" quavered the farm er's wife, through the keyhole. "I want a bed for the night," said a man's hoarse voice. "Go awayl ,Go away I" cried the farmer's wife, in terror. "You wouldn't turn a man off this kind of weather, I hope?" said the voice on the other side of the door, and then the stranger coughed distressfully. The farmer's wife looked to the chain on the door, drew the bolts, and opened the door the width of the chain. By the light ot the lamp which she carried she saw that the stranger was roughly clad and unshaven. "I'm here alone with my children," she said, firmly, "and I am not going to risk letting any one in." - The man hesitated a moment, then thrust his hand into his coat pocket, drew forth 'a little book and handed it to her. "For the' sake of this, won't you trust me?" he asked. She took the little book. It was worn and thumbed aud old. It was a Bible. Without a word she unfastened 4 the chain, and let the stranger in. the urxt morning, alter lie liau helped -her with the chores, he thanked her and bade her good-by, and as they shook hand she said: "I might have been a bad one, for sure, and only trying to blind you with my Bible." "I know. I thought of that," she answered, calmly. "But you had the countersign. I had to trust to God that you had come by it honestly." Effect of Suspicion fore. "I would be very happy if my bus- band would not spend so many of his evenings at the club," said Mrs. June Bride, with a sigh. "Why don't you. try the suspicion cure?" said her intimate friend. "What in the name of Susan B. Anthony is the suspicion cure?" said Mrs. June Bride. "Well, my husband once got into the habit of spending his evening at his club and ' I worried myself ill. Then I changed my tactics. Instead bf asking him to remain at home, I urged bim to go to bis club. The way he raised his eyebrows the first time I s'iggested it showed me that I was on the right track. "One night he said he had a severe headache, and would remain at home. I opposed the idea, and insisted that an evening at the club would make him for a headache. He gave me a hard look, but acted on the suggestion. I knew that he would be back within an hour, so I made an elaborate toilet. He returned as I expected, with a plea that his head was worse. I ignored his question concerning my elaborate toilet. He hasn't been away for an evening since. It is almost like the honeymoon, only he appears to have something on his mind." Thrown From a Mr. George K.

"Your exoelleny," ventured the prime minister, "we must raise another fund to build warships." Tue Czar smiled a wan smile. "All right," he responded, "and I suppose it will be a sinking fund. COCHTT PRID Chanty and Children. In conversation with an observant man not long ago he remarked that the very names of certain counties in North Carolina carry with them a pe culiar interest, whollf foreign st the names of other counties. "For in stance," he remarked, 'who can speak the names of these counties wiskout something $f a thrill: Scotland, Guil ford, Mecklenburg, Robeson, Bun combe? and there are many more that belong in this list. But who is ever sflrred at the mention of Davie, David son, Moore, Wakejor Columbus?' We believe there is something in what the man said and we believe there is a rea son for it. We have lived in Davidson county for years, and while it is a good county and contains many excellent people, there has never been cultivated a wholesome and healthful county pride that is absolutely essential among the citizens, if the county is to take the high place occupied by those we have named. A citizen of Scotland would be mortified u tie were put down as from Robeson, and a Robcsonian would be equally indignant with Scotland ater his name. No citizen of Mecklenburg would sail under the banner of Guil ford, while a Guilford man would' scorn to be called a Mecklenburger. But a Davidson citizen would not feel out raged to be classed with the Randolph people, and a man from Moore would not fight if he were put down as from Montgomery. Ve heartily believe the "prominent". counties are so largely because of the loyalty and and patriotic pride of their citizenship; and the more of this love of home we have the stronger and better we make our home sections. This map looks like a small matter, but there is a good iK al in it when we come think it over. (idling a ood Start. Miss Sophie," beloved benefactress of half the poor of Orleans, sat at her desk writing when an elderly woman who had made many previous demands upon her was ushered in. "O Miss Sophie," ehe said, breath lessly, "I want to borrow a dollar, please, right away." "What do you need the money for, Ermagarde?" "Well, now, you see, I'm going to get married, aud I need it for the license." "lint if the man you are to marry caanot pay for the license, how is he going to support you?" "That's just what I want to explain to you, Miss Sophie. You see to-morrow is Thanksgiving, and we are com ing to your free dinner. Then you al ways give us something to take home, and in the evening the Kings' Daugh ters are going to have a basket distribu tion, and we shall each get one. That will keep us a week easily, and by that time we'd be on our feet." Don't phone Daring; Thunder Storm. The Greensboro Record comes for ward with some practical experience with the telephone and advice as to the use of it, and it is well worth notice. It says: "We must be permitted to remark once imore do not try to telephone to this print shop during a thunder storm. During the business hours of the day some one sits right by the phone, ready to answer in second, but in time of a storm he is not there nor anywhere near, and if he were and heard the bell be would not answer it, for in times when electricity is per forming, the answering man is not supposed to know a man's ring at the bell from the work of lightning. He tried it once years ago and that was a. p. A streak of lighting switched off and did a regular skirt dance all round the room, but it was as nothing com pared to the dancehe answering mun did.

We will enjoy that now.' The lesson wis one never forgotten, and in the varied losses tbat have come to me J have learned to look for something beautiful and bright."

Most men would have said something ugly. This man only smiled. 'There's one comfort about it,' said he; 'those idiots in the station will never know how I fooled them-. They think I caught the right train.' " Penalir ot Haste. Samuel Untermyer, who is to con duct the defence of the Amalgamated Copper Compariy against the suits of Thomas W. Lawson, is a foe to hasty measures of all kinds. "It is best," Mr. Untermyer sai4 at a recent dinner in New York, "to go slow always to go slow to keep cool, to bs calm. "I romemtier to have a heard of a cartain police official who, once came to grief through his hasty and rash methods. ' "There was a tumult of some sort in this man's town. The populace was angry, and an outbreak of some kind was feared. "Well, in the midst of these alarms the police official was walking home ward very late one night. As he passed a certain tall post, he saw a placaed on it. " 'Hal' he said to himself, 'this is a placard of a revolutionary, anarchistic nature. I'll tear it down.' "And accordingly, thought he was a heavy man and long past middle age, the official climed to the top of the tall pole, tore off the placard, and descend ed with it in his teeth. "Safe on the ground agan, he struck a match to read the paper. It con tained, he found, the words, 'Fresh paint.' " A Coally niatake. Blunders are sometimes very expen sive.
