Capital aii Surplus,
A lad uikc had a remarkable
mi. 1 1 1- dreamt lie saw a long
.YSsiuii ill men CiiUling toward
1 him and tin- ;M'uup 'it hivs st.iiul
i l'v him. l-H vi i. iiiic an iiiit h r,
and as he .ippi ..i-!n-il lln: hit) he
slopp-d ai'd , Mil: "I ads, I have
j wniu n inv last honk, my lite is at
! its cln'-e; I a:il one of you lu lake
I inv plaee." Thui came a Ic-
braled ilneim' an. I he said: "I. ads,
I I) ivi .mended my last p.iiieni. 1
want one of you to lake my plaee."
Then billowed a musician, a law
yer; a blacksmith, a builder; an
artist; a preacher, and each told
the boys lie wanted one of them
to take his place. Last of all came
a miserable drunkard, dressed in
rags, and he staggered to the boys
he said hoarsely: "Lads, I am
now going to a drunkard's grave.
I want one of you to take my !
place."
"Not I," said the dreamer, as
he awoke with a sun.
Only n dream, and yet how
true! You, my lad, if you are
spared to reach manhood, are go
ing to till some man's place, but
what sort of a man will it be? 1
know this, that if you persist in be
ing a total abstainer from this day
forward it will not be a drunkard's
place. But if now you just take
one glass when you fancy it, it is
quite possible you may one day
tike a drunkard's place, and fill a
drunkard's grave! God, forbid it!
But, remember drunkards are
people who tried to be moderate
drinkers and failed. But all the
powers of the evil one cannot
make a drunkard of a total abstainer.

THE LOST COLONY.
A girl had a proposal of marriage j
Sunday night, and asked a week
to consider it before answering. '
She then orgauied hci'sdt into an
investigating committee and began
taking testimony from married
ladies of her acquaintance. The :
first one she visited used to be a
belle and the most admired girl in
town before she married six years
before. The cross examination
brought out the fact that she h id
i six children, did all her own work,
including washing and ironing, j
and hadn't been down town for j
four weeks, and that her husband :
had given her but $2 since she I
married, and that he had borrowed !
and forgot to pay back $10 which ;
her brother once gave her lor a j
Christmas present. Lie bought j
himself a new overcoat with the j
money, while she wore the same j
plush coat which she wore when j
he was courting her. Another
woman whom she visited quit
teaching school three years ago io
marry "the handsomest and best
dressed man in town," and she
was supporting him. A third didn't
dare say her soul was her own
when her husband was around,
though she used to write some
lovely essays when she was at
school on the "emancipation of
women," and the fourth woman
she visited was divorced. After
visiting them and summing up the
evidence, she went home and wrote
the young man. She will be mar
ried next month.

A mystery lies locked on the bosom of time
Of a colony left on a beautiful isle
Unsolved by legends, or by Indian tradition,
Where was builded a fort under liberty's smile.
Behold the frail craft as they bound o'er the billows,
Lashed by rude waves and confused by the storm;
While seraphs unseen hover o'er to protect them,
To guide them through safely and shield them from harm.
Determined to go and accomplish their mission,
They trusted in Cod as they braved the wild storm,
On this beautiful isle, on the strand of Carolina,
A colony was plained, a daughter was born.
Borne there on the wings ul the stork from the forest,
Behold the White Doe, the tirst linglish child,
Where the scuppei nong grapes and the violets entangle,
Bedecking the brow of this beautiful isle.
The savage lay sleeping, his tomahawk buried,
His arrow returned to its quiver, at night,
l-'ound when he woke at the dawn of the morrow
That for refuge the Brittons had taken their llight.
These colonists filled with hope and ambition
Went whither, no mortal hath yet ever known,
They left their rude fort and daringly ventured
With wild beast and Indian the forest to roam.
l-'eailess and brave, ever wise and precautious,
They safely resolved it was prudent to flee;
I hey left us no record, no clue to their going,
Save that silent word which they carved on the tree.
Undisturbed and in silent repose they are sleeping,
A mantel of mystery drawn over their head,
To remain there nil earth shall yield up its treasure,
They then will walk forth with lime's honored dead.
In that great conflagration which the world is approaching,
When empires and kingdoms shall burn as a scroll,
And the archives of unwritten history are opened,
Not till then will the fate of the colony be told.
To The Public.

Many bad cases of kidney trouble
result from a cold or chill. Con
gested kidneys fall behind in filter
tering the poison-laden blood and
backache, headache, dizziness and
disordered kidney action follow.
Don't neglect a cold. Use Doan's
Kidney Pills at the first sign of
kidney trouble. Follow this Wel
don resident's example:
E. D. Purnell, primer, Wash
ington avenue, Weldon, says: "I
had a dull pain across my back and
at times I was sore and lame I
couldn't stoop or bend. The trou
ble was caused by a strain, which
left my kidneys weak. The least
cold settled on my kidneys and
made me woi.se. Duaii's Kidiiy
Pills soon relieved me, putting my
back and kidneys in good condi
tion." Price 50c. at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan s Kidney Pills the same
