imprisoned in Cuba and in whose
release many people in this coun-
try were taking an interest, re-
cently escaped and is now in
New York O:ty. It is reported
that'Americans planned and assis-
ted in her escape from prison and
much is being said as to the
probable complications the affair
may causa between the United
States and Spain.
A man in Onslow county who
is repoted to be worth $8,000 to
$10,000 wrote the Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners a letter in
which he said they would have to
take his father a8 a county charge
as he could not assume the
responsibility ot supporting him.
This is as base a specim en of in-
gratitude as has ever been made
public. A son-in-law cf the the

Every Watch a Compass.
oSeveral weeks ago in Lon-
don,� said an Engtish tourist, oI
was standing beside an American
acquaintancs, when I expressed
a wish to know which point was
the north. He pulled out his
watch, looked at it, and at once
pointed out ihe right direction.
LTasked ~him whether he had a
compass attached to his watch.
oAll watches are compasses,� he
replied. Then he explained to
me how this was. Point the
hour to the sun, and the south 1s
exactly half way betweenT the
hour and the figure XII. on the
dial. For instance, suppose it is
o'clock. Point the hand indi-
cating 4to the sun, and II. on
| the watch is exactly south. Sup-

day, whether he knew of

A Nine Million Bale Crop.
New York. Oct. 13."The Daily
Dry Goods Record saya: Work-
ing on those lines by which such
close estimates to the actual
cotton crop of the last two years
were obtained, the figures just
aow obtained indicate a crop for
1497-T98, which varies from 8,953,-
788 bales to 9,371,632 bales, of 500
pounds each.
For the last crop or 1896-97,
our estimate was 8,722,901 bales
against 8,814,011 bales as the
actual returns whilethe estimate
for the previous year, or 1895-T96
was 7,142,000 bales compared
with 7,162,473 bales. The close-
ness of these estiraates to the
actual returns stamped them with
the imprint of correctness and
for the current crop year Our es-
timate is submitted with a degree
of confidence that barring unex-
pected happenings, the yield for
1897-98 will not exceed the maxi
mum figures of 9,871,532 bales of
500 pounds each.

A Dangerous Character
oAs sure as you liye thereTs
another man!� cried the girl in
white delighiedly, as a man with
a yalise came up the steps of a| -:
summer resort hotel.
The girl in the yachting suit
looked at him intently for a
minute and then shook her head
earnestly.
oDonTt go near him!� she ex-
claimed. oDonTt let any one
introduce him to you under any
circumstances? DenTt have any-
thing to do with him at all!�
oBut there are thirty eight
girls and only fiye other men in
the holel.� protested the girl 1a
white. oWecanT afford to be too
particular.� ;
oWell, you canTt axord to have
anything todo with him,� per-
sisted the girl in the yachting
suit.
oWhat do you know about
him ?�
oIT know all about him. 1 met
himin the mountains last sum-
mer, aud I tell you heTs danger-
ous.�
oDangerous!� exclaimed the
girl in white scornfully. oHe
looks about as harmless as any
one I eyer saw.�
oWell, he isnTt,T asserted the
one inthe yachting suit. oHeTs
dangerous, and in addition to
that heTs the biggest fool that
ever put on a flannel tennis suit
and went to the seashore.�
oOne of the kind that rocks the
boat ?�
Worse than that. He canTt tell
a case cf genuine love.�
oReally ?�
oYos, indeed. ThatTs what
makes him dangerous. Why,
what do you think ho wanted to
do last year ?�
oTTm sure I donTt Know.�
oHe wanted to hold me to a
summer resort engagement ; actu-
ally wanted me to marry him just
because I said I would one mcon-
light night up in the mountains ;
and couldnTt understand it when
I refused to recognize him after

Sunday night about 7 o'clock,
as he congregation was assem-:
bling for services at Union Ridge

miles south of Salem, a bolt of
lightning struck a tree near the
church, and desceuding is left th
tree and struck the assembled
people, instantly killing 9ne wo-
wan, a Mrs Huntley, aud severe:
ly shocking several others. A
wan by the name of Heitman,
standing in his wagon, was only
slightly shocked while his wife
and several others who had, just
alighted from the .wagon, were
serivasly hurt, two of whom it is
thought will not recoyer. Mrs.
HeitmanTs baby was thrown some

Stevenson's Birthday Gift.
The following charming story is
told of the late Robert Louis Steven-
son. He was visiting a friend, after-
ward consul to Samoa, in northern
Vermont. This gentleman had a lit-
tle daughter about 11 yearsold, who
very speedily became a devoted
friend of the novelist. In pouring
forth her joys and sorrows in exist-
ence she confided to Mr. Stevenson
the woeful fact that she was born on
Feb. 29, and therefore had enjoyed
only two birthdays in all her 11
years. The poet sympathized not
only in comforting words, but alsv
in action. He meditated a few mo-
ments, then went to her writing
desk and drew up the following doc-
ument: ~~I, Robert Louis Stevenson,
in a sound state of mind and body,
having arrived at that age when I
no longer have any use for birth-
days, do give and bequeath my
birthday, the 13th of November, to
Miss Adelaide Ide, to be hers from
this year as long as she wishes it.
Robert Louis Stevenson.�T The little
girlTs delight at this rare and most
welcome gift has shown itself regu-
lalry once a year for several years
past, and since the novelistTs death
the anniversary is doubly treasured.
