He aiid nine other Railort from the irk were marooned for nve months past vi-ar ,n an uninhabited alalia near the equator in itne racinc ean. They were compelled after ft-w meals of turtles, to Jive on the meat of lizards. The captain of the turk went insane from suffering, and 1 he HUrvivors 'were near death when finally rescued by a sloop manned by ther members of the crew who had H- htnl the mainland. . "We wtrecomuelled to leave the -.ark after driftintr for two week vhen becalmed. " eaid Morrison "We entered two small boats and kem tocether for a few days, but finally tienarated. We landed on ln- lefatigible island without water and httle food. "Our one' luxury was a solitary 1 S I A pipe, wnicn we smoKea Dy turns, using dried leaves and the bark of rees in lieu of tobacco. When we landed on the island we had eighteen matches. We found no water on the island at first and were compelled to strip the skin from cactus leaves and drain the juice. Later a small spring of brackish water was dis covered. ... 1 "We. left our first camp, and had to swim around a cliff to another section of the island.

"Henryi you I know, use' to run the Chattanooga Rebel, an' he's been associatin' wi' Democrats all his life, an he s high strung enough for to have the feelin' that a feller has when he s about to git a messages over the long-dis-tance telephone that a strange kero seha carryall has . broke Maria's i collar-bone. 1'Bryan will bea candidate; he jest can't help hisself .

But the nominatin' of Bryan is a thing that keeps on ; an' it looks like it'll be jest as necessary fifty years from now as it's ever been.

Joel Chandler Harris in Uncle Remus' Magazine Ef I'm oblidze to have civilization, le' me git it in broken doses, wi' a good deal of well-water seasoned wi' sugar. I reckon that civilization is what 8 the matter wi a heap of tne people I meet on the street, wf red faces an' noses a-shinin like a ripe Japanese plum. E that's what's the matter you can depend on it that civilization is a-doin' of its perfect work in your town. Folks didn't call it civilization irr my day an' time, but I reckon this is a new brand, guaranteed under the pure food law. I know a heap of people, and I've . heard tell of a good many more, that'd be glad for to git the food wi out the guarantee. Civilization has allers been a side- issue wr me, put l taKe notice tnat it's constantly a-creepin' up. on me an a-hittin' me on the sore places. A man these days can't skacely keep from bein' run over by it, no matter which way he's headuv. No matter how poor a man is there may have been a time Swhen he rode in his own carriage while his mother pushed it along. , next morning Jarvis was ouna dead, sho, through the body. The murdered man was tne only person in the house except the ser vants, who slept in the back part and did not hear the shot. I I worked a month endeavoring to find a clew to some one ho woukf have had an interest in Mr. Jarvi death. I failed signally Takiner a box of tools. I went, as final expedient, to the room at 9 h the evening the hour Horton visa ed Jarvis - and began a systema k examination of the locks, winded catches, indeed anything pertainhg to entrance and exit.- I found notic ing 'and at midnight, tired and dis appointed went to sleep on a lounge Somehow I couldn't get rid of tot fancy that I might see somethinj during the night to give me a clew But I didn't. With the life of a fellow on my hands I slept but lib and was awake at daylight in th morning. I was in a library, and, besides books? it was filled with cun iosities. 1 j Among other things I noticed oi the wall a pair of moose's horns supj porting an antique' arquebus. 1; was in hung in such a manner tha: it did not point parallel with the wall, but at an acuteangle; The but had been up some time, and it xay' were converged by a convex glasj in a fancy window into a brilliant! spot on the wall. I watched the spot travel as the sun rose, and i; passed a short distance from tbs powder pan ; in the arquebus. I looked at the chair in which Mr. Jart vis had been accustomed to sit aad; noticed that the weapon pointed iU rectly at it. It occurred to me that; if the sun spot had passed directly over the pan and the gun had been loaded ,it would have been fired. Then it suddenly entered my bead that this sun spot and gun might have been connected with Jarvis' death. . r I got up and examined the gun. It was empty. I called the servants They reported that their master had kept it loaded, declaring that it was yet good enough to protect hin against burglars. At any rate I be lieved that Jarvis had been killed bj the gun even if the sun spot had not fired it. The next morning I took an assis tant from an astronomical observa tory into the room. He Inoticed th course traveled by the sun spot and figured its track on the day of the murder. After finishing his compu tations he announced that the spot on that date passed over the pan oi the arquebus. One thing more. 1 got up on a ste pi adder, looked down the gun's barrel and saw that it pointed directly at Mr. Jarvis' chair, As soon as I had completed these in vestigations I ; went to the prisoner and announced the result. I shall never forget the look of intelligence and hope that came into his face. The next morning I had the prison er's attorney in the room, and the next the judge that had sentenced him. The attorney formed the theory, that Mr. Jarvis was sitting in his chair the morning the sun spo: fired the arquebus and killed him; l The prisoner Was accorded a new trial, but it was a very short one. The jury, after visiting the room and seeing a . demonstration by the attorney, who arranged that the sun spot 'should fire a bullet into Mr. Jarvis' acquitted the . prisoner 4 This incident saved his life and made mj fortune. her when interrupted by a broadside from Buchanan. i Instead of flying away the bird of 11 omen merely jumped aside and stood looking at his assailant. As the old man made ready for another onslaught his feet slipped and he fell flat upon his back. The owKwith several snaps of his monster beak and trembling with anxiety to begin the second round lit on his adversary's chest, all spread out and ready for business. For a time Mr. Buchanan thought he had met his Waterloo and called vociferously for his next door neighbor, who failed to respond. With a iew right and lett swings from Buchanan the bird of prey was finally stunned, and the victor, once more seizing his cudgel, dispatched him. ' . i Mr. Buchanan has had his late an tagoniat stuffed and is ready to ex hibit him to any one who doubts the truth of his story. i Raw food fad In Rock hill. MAX ASO rttS 103. aAaaJaaiaaiaaiAajiaii Rock Hill Record, i Several citizens of Rock Hill, both men and women, are living exclu sively on what is called a "raw food diet,"i prescribed by a New Ydrk specialist, which is said, to have done Wonderful good to those who are trying it. .They are literally living on raw food, not touching a particle of cooked food or nourishment of any kind or description. In other words, these people have gone back to nature, and, unless appearances deceptive, they have grown strong and fat. 1 Each "patient" drinks four quarts of milk each day with six raw eggs, a salad of chopped , apple, nuts, celeryr or cabbages, with olive oil, and a small slice of uncooked, raw wheat bread, which looks like a dog biscuit, and indeed is so called by one of those living on this diet f Nothing else enters on their bill-of-fare save maybe fruit in season. The Record understands that this treatment, besides being- the means of fattening and strengthening the patient, in a large measure loosens up the financial stringency in that one then requires no medicine, no doctors, no cook, no fuel fqr the kitchen stove, no meat bills, with . a large reduction of the grocery bills. lUrtvrlJ.

It is not so much the get-nch-quick idea although this enters into it to Urge extent but the excitement of the game seems to be irresistibly fascinating. jlThere is nothing in the wide world that arouses a man's in terest more intensely s than a game of chance. The uncertainty of the thing, it is said, makes it worth while. :"' . I Just watch the boys on the streets tossing i pennies. The element of excitement and greed for gam is just as obvious on the street as on Exchange. The fluctuation in the stock market! has the same psychol ogical etlectpn the consciousness or those concerned, as the slip of a coin or the turn- of a card. The ticker tape produces an identical kind of excitement ira the mind of both the race track gambler and the man who speculates in! Wall Street, This is perhaps a healthy and per fectly moral excitement, for in sub stance it is ndt much different fro the intense ioteaest which a busi man displays! in his looking over daily gross receipts. ; It is love for gain and'everybody loves to win. Self preservation is the first law of na ture and we all want to be self-preserved at. the lowest possible cost and trouble to tbe "self." We want something for nothing all of us but the wise one is not go ing to play a game that can't be beat. You can't beat a slot machine and you can't beat the races. In fact, it is next to impossible to beat any game of chance, and the Wall Street game is the hardest of all. Restrict your gambling instinct and learn to Isatsfy- your desire for gain by a moderately safe return for your investment. A good savings bank or a conservative business is the best place for. the man of small means to put his money.

Ex-President Grover Cleveland has written a jremarkable article on "Our People and Their Ex-presidents" for The Youth's Companion, which published it on II anuary 2d. In it Mr. Cleveland says : ' "As I am the only man now living who could at this time profit by the ideas I have advocated, I hope my sincerity will not be questioned when I say that I have dealt with the sub ject without the least thought of personal interest or desire for per-, sonat advantage. I am not in need of aid from the public Treasury. I hope and believe that I have provided for myself and those dependent up on me a comfortable maintenance, within the limits of accustomed prudence and economy, ad . that those! to whom I owe the highest earthly duty will not want when I am gone. These conditions have permitted me to treat, with- the utmost freedom a topic which im volves no) personal considerations and only has to do in my mind with conditions that may arise in the, fu ture, but are not attached to the ex-President of to-day ; and 1 am sure that I am actuated only .by an ever-present desire that the fairness and sense of justice characteristic of true Americanism shall neither fail nor be obscured." used as a qarqlc and opptied b the outside of the throat redurt the swelling and gives instant relief .
