How dear to my heart are the pants of

When fond recollection presents
othem to view,
The pants ~that I wore in the deep

And likewise the groves where the

The wide spreading seat with its little
_Square patches, =.
~The pockets thatT bulged with my
luncheon for noon,
And also with marbles and fish-worms
_ and matches
And gumdrops and kite strings from
March until June,
The little patched trousers,T the made

The high water trousers that fit me

No pantaloons ever performed great-

In filling the hearts of us youngsters

- Right down through 1a family of ten

Through no fault of mine, known to

And having done service for nine older

They came down to me slightly bag-

The little patched trousers, the second-

The old family trousers that bagged at

~Death of a Most Estimable Young
Man.
Several weeks ago Robert Wilson,
the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. R. T.
Wilson, of Grimesland, was stricken
with pneumonia. He wasa student at
~the Greenville Male Academy here
and many were the anxious enquiries in
)| respect to his condition. The disease
proved to be very severe, and_ his
friends soon became alarmed as to his
condition. About ten days ago there
~was some improvement, and hopes were
entertained that he might recover.
last night that. he died on Monday
~night aut ten minutes to nine oTclock.
He was just budding into young man-
hood and no young man in the writerTs
acquaintance: Wad� seemingly brighter

The Philadelphia Times reports ~an
official of the Pennyslvania Railroad,
speaking recently of the difference in
railroad traffic since one, year ago, as
saying that oon the Ist of December,T
1894, that company had 18,000 .cars
_ stowed-away in-sheds because not want-
ed, while to-day they are not only using
every car they own, but could use over
30,000 more. cars ~than they have at
their = command. When © aske
whether it was not possible to obtain
cars from other railways to bridgeT over
the emergency, the answer was that.
every other railroad of the couniry has
use for more cars than it now possesses��
The business of the railroads is univer:
sally regarded as an infallible barome-
ter of the general business of a country.

The Story of m Strange Experience Had by
a Detective. :
oThe strangest experience I ever . a
| had,"T said a-well known detective
~| te the -Cineinnati-Tribune, ~!was in
locating a sneak thief who systemat-
ically robbed a business manTs resi-
dence. There had been a number of
robberies extending over a consider-
able space of time. The servants of
the house had heen changed several
took what.money he.had, if any,
and, if not, succeeded in obtaining |
some of his wifeTs jewels or valuable
silverware, I was employed in the
case and made a thorough examina,
~tion of the premises. . At first I}.
thought the work was done by some
one inside the house, but my client
which was undoubtedly the way he
came in. Ho described the man as
being small, thin and pale and wear:
ing a peculiar mask. The descrip.
honse or any one whom the business
man knew.
oMy client slept in the front room
and his wife in one adjoining,. there
being double doors betweon them. I
searched the pawnshops thoronghly
and could find no trace of the miss+
ing jewels or silverware, and after
watching the house from the outside
for several nights, during ~which
time there was another. .robbery, I
_prepared to sleep in my clientTs
room, to which he readily consent-
ed. ~The first wight I slept thereany

ed, | bit: several | dollars. in| lange
charige had been abstracted from my
own pockets, though tsually I am At
very light sleeper and awake at once
by any unusual noise. ~I said noth.
ing about my own loss, but conolud-
ed to remain awake therenftor,
~For several nights. nothing oc-
curred, when one morning about 2
a~clock a form came through ~the
folding doors that conneetcd ~the
room where I was with that oeeupied
by ibe wife of my client. I pretend.
ed to. be asleep and waited the thiefTs
approach. ~It looked like a pale faced |,
boy. Over its head wus thrown a
dark shawl that gave the appearance
of a mask and a coat, but the form
was barefooted and had on nothing
besides the shawl but a nightgown,
Noiselessly it glided to the window,
unlocked it and passed out on the
porch. I knewinTaT moment that
the person was/the wife of my ¢qlient,
