"THE CHIEF SAFETY.'X J From the standpoint of the Euro- peau'our Executive is absolutely un¬ guarded.1 In this is his chief safety for where there are.fewer evidences of fear there are less incentives to crime. The very absence of guards is protec¬ tion. But it is the crank that has to be .watched and for this work six of the ablest men in the secret service branch of the government have been «elected. They are absolutely trust¬ worthy and have an almost unlimited «mount of monejr to spend. ' They have to report to no one save to each other, one of .whom is chief, so I un- «erstand, and in this way their com¬ ings and goings are conducted without suspicion. They arrive in town as do other : travelers, put up at the best hotels and wear the smartest clothes. Sometimes they come with large tour¬ ist parties and take in the sights, going through the White House with as keen an appetite for bits of gossip as the veriest i:hay seed" in the party. They will assume any disguises they want, but they usually go as well equipped gentlemen. They mingle with crowds and watch the vagrant and the loiterer about the White House grounds with trained eye, roving in every direction. They know their business as thoroughly as do any men in their profession in the world, it is said, and their disguises are impene¬ trable. It makes no matter who is President and what the Executive wish may be on the subject, the silent and ever watchful vigil continues. The President himself would scorn the idea that he needed protection of any kind, but for all that he is pro¬ tected when least suspecting it. The system has been continued since the time of Lincoln. Up to that time it was not thought necessary to throw safeguards about our Presidents. Thc system had become a little lax when the assassination of Garfield made it evident that the rigidity of this pre¬ caution must never be allowed to re¬ lapse into an indifferent state again. [S GUARDED. s Ignorant of the Fre¬ lons. Journal. SECRET SERVICE PRECAUTION. In other countries this secret ser¬ vice "precaution is carried to a far grèater extent than here, but it is doubtful if it is more effective. In England, for instance, it is said that so many are the disguises assumed by the detectives about victoria that that poor lady's life is made miserable by wondering who these people are sind' by what right they are permitted $o roam, about her estates. In France the system is carried on very much as it is here, save that the secret service is increased by officers and guards in uniform, and sentinels stationed at every door and gateway. There have been only three bona fide assassinations in .France, posi¬ tively, known to history. One victim was Henry HI, killed by a Jacobin monk; Henry IV was assassinated by the Roman fanatic Ravaillac, the third being President Carnot. The former was assassinated in 1610. That period was replete with assassinations of all kinds, and the wonder is that more crowned heads did not fall a victim to the knife. Many attempts on the lives of rulers are recorded, but very few successful attempts. Louis XI was believed to have been murdered' for rebelling against his father, but it was never proven. Over in England Edward the First was assassinated by a mussel man while the former was crusading, but he seems to have had no right there and the feeling against him was bitter and deep. Edward the Second was mur- dered after his deposition. William Rufus was supposed to have been as¬ sassinated in, New Forest and not accidentally shot with an arrow by Walter Tirrell, as stated in history. Richard the Second was killed by Ex¬ ton after his deposition, aud Henry the Sixth is supposed to have been assassinated by the Yorkists, but it was never proven. Edward the Fifth goes down in history with an improba¬ ble death at the hands of Richard the Third, but recent historians put little faith in the story. One of the most marked assassina¬ tions was that of William of Orange, surnamed the Silent, the founder of the .Dutch republic. He wás called the "Silent" .from the fact that he heard without comment from Henry the Second of France of a plot to mas¬ sacre the Protestants, he himself being one at the time. He was assassinated by Balthazer Gerard, a Catholic fanatic. ASSASSINATIONS IN SCOTLAND. In Scotland assassinations was the favorite« way of securing a change of governmental policy. They of all people seemed to have been given more freely to assassination. The assassinations of rulers, consorts and paramours are too numerous to men¬ tion. In studying history one is likely to emerge from youth with the idea that nearly every other ruler was assassinated for the reason that the historian seems to revel in detailing the attempts on the lives of sover¬ eigns, and dwelling with much color on the various. plots. But to review the men who have met death in this way there are comparatively very few, but sufficient to cause those who have the keeping of the lives of rulers safe to still use precaution; for modern history boasts about as many assassi¬ nations as the history of the period known as the dark ages. A. W. B. A Pretty Story. A Lancashire' lady has been relat¬ ing a rather pretty story about a fac¬ tory girl's way of answering a marriage proposal made io her. "The young woman could not write or read writing, and one day she -brought a letter to me to read to her. It contained an offer of marriage. "I happened to know that the writer was a deserving young artisan, so I said to her: 'Now, you must consider, this matter very seriously, and if you like to come to me when you have made up your mind. I will write a re¬ ply for you.' "A day or two afterward I met the girl again and asked her if she wanted me to answer the letter for her. "'0, that is all right,' she said, looking radiant and pleased. 'I've settled it. I answered it myself.' " 'Why, how did you do it?' I asked. 9 "And then she told me that she could make a capital 'I,' and then she stuck on the paper a piece of wool after it for 'wull'-'I wool.' " Rheumatism Cured. My wife has used Chamberlain's Pain Balm for rheumatism with great relief, and I can recommend it as a splendid liniment for rheumatism and other household use for which we have found it valuable.-W.

For sale by Hill-Orr Drug Co. In Memory of Mrs. E. C. ChamWee Still was the stir of labor and life, Hushed by the slumber of the midnight deep; Forgotten was the toils and careB of the past When night's dusky mantle gently creep. No sad good-byes to my Aunt was said The night she smoothed ber pillow once more; She awoke in the dawn of the heavenly morn, Where light "forever gleams the fair shore. The angel's call was soft and low, While the spirit had gently flown, Sweet music waa cb anted from Heaven above, Whicb call our loved ones home. No one heard the silver chord when broken, No one hoard their noiseless tread; Safely they guarded through the long night watches With white winga hovering 'round her bed. Some say the valley we pass is lone, Not a shadow she found in her way, Knowing she'll meet many friends gone before "Farewell, vain world," abe would pray. She bore the cross, she faltered not, Onward wich Christian courage she pressed, Till the last trumpet's joyful souad Said that "Jesus calls to rest." Aside she threw every weight of care, On earth there was nothing she hated to leave But her poor companion so feeble with age» If we ask our Savior He is ready to re¬ lieve. If we could only think how sweet her rest From earth's weary trouble and care, And the mansions that Stand with wide open doors For his loved ones His glory they will share. God's saints must glide o'er death's gloomy shore, And hear the wild surges and murmur¬ ing sighs, How bright and sparkling seems the bil¬ lows to roll When trusting in Jesus whose love never dies. Why is it so sad to say "She is dead?" When her soul is at rest, when it's nature b own plan, "Come home, dear Iamb." th« good Shep¬ herd has said, His meaning we cannot read; in heaven we'll understand. i ANNIE HALL. An Apt Pupil. Old Clerk-Just watch me wait on this lady, and you'll get an idea of how it is done. Is there anything I can do for you to-day, madam? Lady-Have, you any canned peas? Old Clerk-Certainly, madam (tak¬ ing down a can), and they have the flavor and freshness of the pea from the vine. Lady-I will take three cans. Old Clerk-You see how it's done; now Jiere comes a lady, and I'll let you wait on her. Lady-Have you any pickled pig's feet? ' New Clerk-Certainly madam, (tak¬ ing down a can), and they have the flavor and freshness of the pig right from the pen._ "Those we Leave Behind." Men are care¬ less about their lives for their own sakes, but a kind and tender man should think of others ; he should think if he should die of those he leaves^ behind to grieve and sorrow and struggle on without him. For this reason alone, if for no other, every trian should re¬ gard his health as a precious treasure not to be thrown away or spent and scattered in vain. If any man's health is weakened or wasted, or running dow«, he should take the right means to build himself up strong and well, so that he can both live and care for those he loves. He should investigate the virtues of that great remedy, the "Golden Medical Discovery" originated by Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting phy¬ sician of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo. N. Y. It is a remedy that makes a man thoroughly well by giv¬ ing power and capacity to the digestive and assimilative organs. It makes healthy in¬ vigorating blood out of the food he cats It gives him strength and energy to put into his daily task. It builds up hard mus¬ cular flesh and nerve fiber, revitalizes the tissues of the throat and lungs, heals in¬ flammation, purges the blood of bilious poisons and makes a man, strong, vigorous and hardy. "My husband had heen sick a long time," writes Mrs. J. W. Brittiu, of Clinton, Dewitt Co., Ills. (Box 475), "had doctored with home phy¬ sicians ana even went to Chicago and consulted a doctor there but without rcceiviug any help. He went to the hospital and was operated on and after three months came home to die (as the doctors here thought), but after awhile he com¬ menced to take your wonderful medicine, thc 'Coldeu Medical Discovery' and now, thanks to your most welcome medicine, he can cat any¬ thing he wants and is again a well man." No remedy relieves constipation so quickly and effectively as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They never gripe.

WILLIS, South Main St., Anderson, S. C. I He Didn't Forget lt. A young married lady one morning gave her husband a sealed letter, "which he was to read when he got to his office. He did so, and the letter ran as follows: "I am obliged to tell you something that may give you pain, but there is no help for it. You shall know every¬ thing, whatever be the consequences. For the last week I have felt like it must come to this, but I have waited until the last extremity, and can re¬ main silent no longer. Do not over¬ whelm me with bitter reproach, for you will have to put up with your share of the trouble as well as myself. " Cold perspiration stood iu thick drops on the brow of the husband, who was prepared for the worst. Tremb¬ ling he read on. "Our coal is all gone. Please order a ton to be sent this afternoon. I thought you might forget it for the tenth time, and therefore wrote you this letter." But he didn't forget it that time! A Beautiful Complexion.

Bravo for Governor Stone! HARRISBURG, PA., April ü.-In a letter which. G-overnor Stone wrote to¬ day to W. S. Grenoble, of Gettysburg, declining to sign a petition addressed to the Secretary of the Navy urging that one of the new cruisers be named the ;'Gettysburg," the Executive said : t;If naming a cruiser Gettysburg' would alone honor and distinguish thc excellent town of that name I would not hesitate to join with you in this request; but to the whole country and to the civilized world that name typi¬ fies a great battle, which settled a controversy between the North and the South of our country.' To both sections it recalls a great heroic strug¬ gle. The victory was with the North, the defeat with the South. t:In the recent war with Spain the North and the South were blended as one in defense of the flag. Our battle ships and cruisers are manned by sailors and marines from both the North and the South, and I do not think it wise that a name should be selected for any of our vessels which will revive the unpleasantness which grew out of the civil war and existed for so many years. c:Let Gettysburg be honored and revered as the site of a great battle, wherein the survivors of the Northern army and the survivors of the South¬ ern army can alike uphold the valor of their comrades.

sacre the Protestants, he himself beingone at the time. He was assassinatedby Balthazer Gerard, a Catholicfanatic.

ASSASSINATIONS IN SCOTLAND.

In Scotland assassinations was thefavorite« way of securing a change ofgovernmental policy. They of allpeople seemed to have been givenmore freely to assassination. Theassassinations of rulers, consorts andparamours are too numerous to men¬

tion. In studying history one islikely to emerge from youth with theidea that nearly every other ruler wasassassinated for the reason that thehistorian seems to revel in detailingthe attempts on the lives of sover¬

eigns, and dwelling with much coloron the various. plots. But to reviewthe men who have met death in thisway there are comparatively very few,but sufficient to cause those who havethe keeping of the lives of rulers safeto still use precaution; for modernhistory boasts about as many assassi¬nations as the history of the periodknown as the dark ages.

A Pretty Story.

A Lancashire' lady has been relat¬ing a rather pretty story about a fac¬tory girl's way of answering a marriageproposal made io her."The young woman could not write

or read writing, and one day she-brought a letter to me to read to her.It contained an offer of marriage.

"I happened to know that the writerwas a deserving young artisan, so Isaid to her: 'Now, you must consider,this matter very seriously, and if youlike to come to me when you havemade up your mind. I will write a re¬

ply for you.'"A day or two afterward I met the

girl again and asked her if she wantedme to answer the letter for her.

"'0, that is all right,' she said,looking radiant and pleased. 'I'vesettled it. I answered it myself.'

" 'Why, how did you do it?' Iasked.

9"And then she told me that she

could make a capital 'I,' and then shestuck on the paper a piece of woolafter it for 'wull'-'I wool.' "

In Memory of Mrs. E. C. ChamWee

Still was the stir of labor and life,Hushed by the slumber of the midnight

deep;Forgotten was the toils and careB of the

pastWhen night's dusky mantle gently creep.

No sad good-byes to my Aunt was saidThe night she smoothed ber pillow

once more;She awoke in the dawn of the heavenly

morn,Where light "forever gleams the fair

shore.

The angel's call was soft and low,While the spirit had gently flown,

Sweet music waa cb anted from Heaven

above,Whicb call our loved ones home.

No one heard the silver chord whenbroken,

No one hoard their noiseless tread;Safely they guarded through the long

night watchesWith white winga hovering 'round her

bed.

Some say the valley we pass is lone,Not a shadow she found in her way,

Knowing she'll meet many friends gonebefore

"Farewell, vain world," abe wouldpray.

She bore the cross, she faltered not,Onward wich Christian courage she

pressed,Till the last trumpet's joyful souadSaid that "Jesus calls to rest."

Aside she threw every weight of care,On earth there was nothing she hated

to leaveBut her poor companion so feeble with

age»If we ask our Savior He is ready to re¬

lieve.

If we could only think how sweet herrest

From earth's weary trouble and care,And the mansions that Stand with wide

open doorsFor his loved ones His glory they will

share.

God's saints must glide o'er death'sgloomy shore,

And hear the wild surges and murmur¬

ing sighs,How bright and sparkling seems the bil¬

lows to rollWhen trusting in Jesus whose love

never dies.

Why is it so sad to say "She is dead?"When her soul is at rest, when it's

nature b own plan,"Come home, dear Iamb." th« good Shep¬

herd has said,His meaning we cannot read; in heaven

we'll understand.i

A young married lady one morninggave her husband a sealed letter, "whichhe was to read when he got to hisoffice. He did so, and the letter ran

as follows:"I am obliged to tell you something

that may give you pain, but there isno help for it. You shall know every¬thing, whatever be the consequences.For the last week I have felt like itmust come to this, but I have waiteduntil the last extremity, and can re¬

main silent no longer. Do not over¬

whelm me with bitter reproach, foryou will have to put up with yourshare of the trouble as well as myself. "

Cold perspiration stood iu thickdrops on the brow of the husband, whowas prepared for the worst. Tremb¬ling he read on."Our coal is all gone. Please order

a ton to be sent this afternoon. Ithought you might forget it for thetenth time, and therefore wrote youthis letter."But he didn't forget it that time!

Bravo for Governor Stone!

HARRISBURG, PA., April ü.-In a

letter which. G-overnor Stone wrote to¬day to W. S. Grenoble, of Gettysburg,declining to sign a petition addressedto the Secretary of the Navy urgingthat one of the new cruisers be namedthe ;'Gettysburg," the Executivesaid :

t;If naming a cruiser Gettysburg'would alone honor and distinguish thcexcellent town of that name I wouldnot hesitate to join with you in thisrequest; but to the whole country andto the civilized world that name typi¬fies a great battle, which settled a

controversy between the North andthe South of our country.' To bothsections it recalls a great heroic strug¬gle. The victory was with the North,the defeat with the South.

t:In the recent war with Spain theNorth and the South were blended as

one in defense of the flag. Our battleships and cruisers are manned bysailors and marines from both theNorth and the South, and I do notthink it wise that a name should beselected for any of our vessels whichwill revive the unpleasantness whichgrew out of the civil war and existedfor so many years.

c:Let Gettysburg be honored andrevered as the site of a great battle,wherein the survivors of the Northernarmy and the survivors of the South¬ern army can alike uphold the valor oftheir comrades. I am not in favor ofgiviug any vessel in our navy a name

which will distinguish a battle foughtby Americans against Americans."- The turkey was first discovered

in America, and was taken to Englandin the early part of the sixteenth cen¬

tury. Since then it has been acclima¬ted in nearly all parts of the world.
