The London Chronicle says it was used at the cor onations of English sovereigns 300 years before the “stone of destiny” was brought from Scone to Westmin ster by Edward 1. If this be true, the use of this Bible for the purpose dates buck to the year 1000. It is a quarto of 217 leaves, con taining the four gospels, and seems from the style of the writing and illu minations, which are very beautiful, to have been made abo'ut the end of the ninth century. It narrowly escaped destruction In the lire at Ashburuhaui House in 1731, of which it bears evidence in its crumpled leaves and singed margins. There is some evidence that the son of Edward the Elder, Athelstan the Glo rious, who was king of the West Sax ons from 1)25 to 940, owned this Bible and gave it to the church of Dover. )I:i(n inid Vitiii|!rcn.

Many stories are told “of the lack of punctuality upon southern railroads. It is said that when a New England mini found his train, advertised to leave at 11 o’clock, starting at exactly that hour he complimented the con ductor. “Just on time, I see,” he said genial ly. “All this talk I’ve heard of the lateness of your trains is without foun dation, I’ve no doubt.” The conductor smiled at him gently. “This train, sir,” he said without a trace of embarrassment, “is not today’s 11 o’clock train, sir. It is yesterday's 11 o'clock. Today’s will probably not get here from way down until tomor row, sir.”—Youths Companion. vt HOW THE condemned I Ull I Vrl MURDERER WAS MADE EAT WATERMELON ABE COHEN::;; t h,s ,u:ar ' s Abe Cohen, the negro condemned to death in Savannah, was born and rais ed in this county, where bis reputa tion for honesty was not what could be even called fair. When Abe was about twenty years of age he was working on Hon. John P. Lamb's farm in fact Mr. Lamb raised Cohen from a small boy and he use to express it, "Abe is a hard proposition.” Abe liked watermelons, strange that a negro should, but it was really iue case with Abe. He was so fond of the luscious, juicy fruit that he would never figure on wno the melons be longed to or the consequences or any u..ng, for tuat matter. AH he wan ted was the melon, the consequences were something else. For years Mr. Lamb knew Abe had been playing havoc with the wa termelo patch, but Abe was hard to catch and he did not want to punish tne negro until he was absolutely cer tain that he was the pilferer. In oth er words he wanted to actually see Abe stealing the melons. Early one Sunday morn g, in the month of July when the fruit is sweetest, Mr. Lamb caught Abe, For months he had been watching and his labors had been rewarded at last. Abe looked at Mr. La ml) and Mr. Lamb looked at Abe. “Well, Abe, 1 have caught you.” “Yesser, youse got me and I aint goin to lie ’bout it, cause dese mel ons looks too sweet to burn up in dis ere ot ssn.” Abe thought he ~ad made a grand stand play by confessing and he con tinued to think so for an hour af teiwards, an dthen he realized that he had made a “fatal” error. Mr. Lamb acted as unconcerned as possible. He told Abe to pick lour or five melons go under a big tree in the yard and eat to his "gineral satisfaction” as Abe expressed it. The negro gathered five ol' the best melons, carried them under the big tree and with the song, “He Certainly is Good to Me,” and the melons he seemed happy. Mr. Lamb saw him eat one, two,three, and here is where he got in his work. Goiiy home he returned with a shotgun. Abe looked up. “Goin’ to kill a hawk?” said the negro. '‘No,’’ re plied Mr. Lamb, “1 am going to per suade you to eat a few more water- Swan's Down is the finest winter wheal patent flour. Miss Kate Slater has the newest ready to wear hats, the Kromico.

"I show got nuff now,” said Abe. “Or no, eat another.” “I aint got room for it: Ise show full up.” Slowly raising nml cocking the gun Mr. Lamb said: “If you think any th.ng of your life. Abe, you'll cut. that melon and eat it." Not until that minute did Abe catch on. He anew the old man meant bus iness, so picking out a small melon he cut it and proceJed to get away with it but it was hard work. “Cut another melon Abe,” said Mr. i.amb. “Ise glad you goin’ to eat one, cause de.v is silo good.” “Eat it Abe,” commanded Mr. Lamb. Abe hesitated. He told Mr. Lamb "he would sho buss” if he ate any more, and he further stated that he would rather be shot than to kill him self eating watermelons, but this argument did not go with the man be hind the gun and Abe knew he meant business. He begged and prayed, rolled and yelled, but the melon nad to go and Abe was expected to be at the going. He gave Abe an hour to get rid of the melon, but there was more trouble for him. “Eat another," said Mr. l^amb. By this time Abe was about the size of tlie Texas fat boy. He said he could not eat another mouthfull; he fell from the bench and pretended to be taking his last breath. He gasped, threw up his hands, told Mr. Lamb good-bye, but even these parting word, prayers, etc., did not move that other melon. Mr. Lamb got Abe up again. He even cut the melon for him, and actually was kind enough to as sist Abe in shoving it down. V.lien the last melon was finished Abe couhl’nt move; he said he gxpect eo to live only a few minutes But Abe didn’t die. He got enough watermelon, that’s all. For several years after tuis occur rence Abe worked for Mr. Lamb, but the watermelon stealing stopped. In fact Abe “didn’t like melons no how." /wilf WHY * From colds, coughs, rheumatism and other ills that are sure to come as fail approaches. Relief if not certain cure is Within easy reach.
