THE CHARLOTTEiNEWS, SEPTEMBER I, I906. TO STRENGTH A W t A K MEMORY Discourage Too: Much Memorizing .for Small Children Develop Attention Tricks of Association Which,-Aid Memory Recovering Memory After Serious Sickness. BY MAEGAIIET E. SANGSTER. (Copyright 1905 by Joseph B. Bowles.) Memory is a. pack-horse able to car ry safely -whatever is entrusted to him, if it be properly fastened. If the latter precautions are neglected he. is liable to drop bits of his load along the highway, and the strong probability is that they will not, be worth picking TIP- . '- Memory is a servant, sometimes well trained and responsible, sometimes la zy aud inefficient. Memory is a useful friend or a treacherous foe. Memory is a mechanical device, convenient so long as it is in smooth .working or der, and exasperating when it slips out of gear at an unlucky moment. To drop simile, memory, is a quality of the brain which it is in your power to strengthen or weaken precisely as you please. , The familiar adage that in early childhood impressions are most last ing and that the mind is then wax to receive and marble to retain, has be come commonplace. During the earlier years there is great activity in the hu man mind, growth and development iire extremely rapid, there is expansion cn every side and. children, learn with great facility. One, often observes with amazement.-. ...the - wonderful . mem ory of a precocious infant, who . re cites with accuracy long poems and fa bles before the lips have acquired the trick of perfect speech. To hear a bar by fluently repeat nursery jingles in pretty broken English is very amusing, yet the exercise is by no means whole some, or does it necessarily imply that the memory will be retentive at a later date. Parents would much bet ter discourage too much memorizing by very small children. As they grow older and begin school, life in earnest they may lay the foundations for a trustworthy memory of incidents arid events by the thoroughness - and ex actness with which they perform their school duties. The ease with which children and young people memorize mittee. meetings; correspondence and business engagements- my be entrusted to the safeguarding of the written page. Thosewho keep a little book: and pencil in. the pocket or the bag may as-well not try to remember that which; they, write down, Discrimina tion is the pari of common sense. Why take the same trouble to remember an unimportant trifle as an affair of great moment, and. Why undertake the dou ble duty .of writing a thing down and the$::rmfmDering it without consult ing tiie. record -J '".v .. . . illness, imperfect vision, impaired hearing k and physical feebleness may each ' ravage memory. , A sign of old age is a failure to recollect what is happening in the present while mem ory, is living in the past. No, one is old who lives vividly and' eagerly in the present tense, and who has no difficul ty in keeping hold of what is going On in the active circle of the day. When the loosened fingers drop the thread of the present day, and" the mind gropes in search of a missing clue, then one has begun to grow old. There are young people with aged memories, but that is largely their own fault. They have permitted themselves to be !so indolent, so inconsequent and so heed less that their memories have been like pocket holes. A young girl who had unfortunately been given quantities of a certain powerful drug as. a remedy against ma laria, found herself, at, 20 unable to remember anything. She said: ;'T have no memory for a book that I read or a conversation that I hear. Eaacb new. impression completely blots out the one that came before it. What shall I do?" The advice given her was to . take a single fact or a single inci dent each day and, go over and over that, not suffering it to elude her, and flxiQg., her whole attention upon it, grasp it tightly until.it became a real possession. It, was slow work, but res olution -triumphed, and in the end her memory again. served her with faithful ness. ? ' It .was, however, essentia! for her to cut entirely loose from drugs, and live in the open air, - regaining by healthful processes the physical vigor she had lost. Never .be discouraged , if the memory is weak. Make up your mind it may be strengthened.. Act as it were alrea. dy strong, 'frust it and : it will not disappoint you.f "The House, of Defence." i j The Earl of Thurso, who, it will be remembered, married a beautiful girl to the TWO CROOKS HANDS IN 0 POL GE 1 ,r,. inct if oo thov o-vow j end . wno rewnuy sucuecucu . v,nv,; n . tine and estates oi ma iuiuuua.u..o older, they continued study. . .. . . . In many people memory becomes atrophied,-just, as would an arm were it tied up and kept stationary-:" for months at a time. They give memory nothing to do and it loses the faculty of doing anything when called upon. To retain a vigorous memory it is '-well 'to give' it daily exercise. The Rev. F. W. Robertson, a famous di vine of his day, nd one whose influ ence was 3etf around the globe, mem orized the entire Greek Testament by the method of " learning two or three verses every morning while he was dressing. The honored and beloved Dr. Malt bie Babcock, of New York, whose sud den death some years ago was widely mourned, had made it his custom to commit to memory 100 lines of poetry from Wordsworth, Milton, Tennyson or Browning every day of his life, nev er intermitting the task. 'A brilliant and clever woman in her eighties keeps up her life-long custom of study ing and reciting a page from a iavor ite author every day. The phrase "com mit to memory" in instances like these is happily descriptive. When one has thus trained memory, treasures may be committed to it as silver sent on occasion to a safe deposit vault or money is entrusted to a bank. The principal aids to the memory are attention and association. If one is aware that memory is weak, instead of lameting the fact or parading it as though it were an affliction that must be borne with philosophy, set to work as speedily as possible to repair its losses. Ascertain where it . is" least ser viceable and begin . the task of strengthening it in that place. There are many people who have a good memory for dates and for hgures but have only a" slight memory for faces, and who forget whatever they hear almost as soon 'as they leave the speaker's presence. They have, probably allowed their attention to wander and have encouraged in tnem selves the fatal habit of absence of mind. - Absence of body might better be urged as an apology for inattention than absence of mind. . The body be ing present anywhere, the mind should be present too. Attention's like a hammer that drives a tack; give Your whole mind to what you are hear ing and you will not easily forget it. . Association, helps , to. fix things m memory. Thus, if one desires to re member a friend's residence, it may be done by a mental process involving the use of the multiplication or or a littio nrnhipm in long division, which may be woven around the fig ures of the address. In my own ex perience I have found, useful a sort t mental invisible tablet. I .associate certain name3 in a certain order and write them oh a slate that hangs uponj the wall of memory and is as piam . w me as if seen with bodily eyes. Some times I associate an incident with color,, as red, or yellow, or green. Sometimes a group of incidents are re called by the name of a place. Atten tion and -association are; the twin fac tors in bolstering .memory and making it effectives-Determine to remember a certain incident or story, arrange vt in your mind, label it, set it away for future use, and when you want it memory will deliver it to you intact.. Of course there are always calen dars, schedules, diaries and memor andum books. If you object to carrying much luggage on the road make mem oranda and consult them at your dis cretion. The person of many engage, ments may find it well to have them ar ranged consecutively, where they may be found at call.

Reagan, chici is!of local interest here: '' "There; is a man here named Frank A. Bell who I-think-is wanted in At lanta for-bigamy. He married a wo man here last December and I am informed that he married a daughter of Mrs. B. .B. Davis, of East Point, Ga. a year or two ago. He has another wife at Wilmington, N. C. bue nerfamily will not prosecute him, I think he has a half a dozen wives." This some Bell is supposed to be the defendant: in suiti which ap pears on the docket of the Superior Court in this county under the title Lof Winnie Lee Bell vs Frank A. Bell, the suit being brought really by the plintoiffs guardian, Mrs. Eva B. Register, the plaintiff being under age. Chief of police Williams here was notified by chief of police of Lex ington, Ky. that Bell was there and asking if the authorities here wanted him. However, as a divorce suit was pending here the counsel for the plain tiff : advised chief Williams, that no ac tion would be taken against Bell even if he were the party desired. Bell married a Miss. Register here in De cember 1904 and after some months left. The complaint in the divorce case charges that he abandoned his wife in April 1905 and the divorce is also sought on dubican grounds according to the amended divorce laws of North Carolina. The former Miss Register makes her home here where she is well- known. She was only 17 years bid when the wedding took place. An arrest was made in Norfolk this morning, by order of chief of police Williams of-the . Wilmington police force that will probably place in the toils a man. who has been working a practice of jumping hotel- bills in the South ; for some months past. The fellow registered at the Orton hotel here, ten days ago. under the name of J. E. West , of Springfield, Ohio, and claimed - that he was traveling . rep resentative of the Texas Land Com pany. . He remained at .the hotel one week and then left carrying .his bag gage with him, without settling a bill of $50 he owed; on account of board and money borrowed from the hotel. Authorities in neighboring cities were wired a discriptioh of r the fellow, and today ;the Norfolk chief of police wir ed that it was beleved, West was there and wantng: to know if he should be placed under arrest. A telegram was sent to- have him arrested and; he will be brought ' back here tomorrow. Several weens ago a party left the Piedmont: hotel at Atlanta, without paying: his bill, and it is believed that West is- the- same person.- He regis tered at Atlanta under the name of Grant. . It is thought that he has been making . it a practice to jump hotel bills and that lie is the party wanted in several cities Ha is a clean . shaven, nice looking fellow about 35 years old. . Dispute Over an Estate in North Caro lina as to Whether a Gambling Debt Should bev Paid as Against Other Creditors. ""' New York Herald. Interests adverse to Senator Lee S. Overman, of Noith Carolina, are seek ing to have his administration of the estate of J. B. Lanier, who died in New York more than trn years ago, review ed by .the courts, that $30,000 paid by ;he Senator, as administrator, to the firm of W. B. Kountree and Co., cotton brokers, of No. 4. Cotton Exchange building, miy be, recovered for certain creditors r.nd relatives of Mr. Lanier in North Carolina. Senator Overman, who is a lawyer of great reputation in his own State, was elected to the United States Sen ate in 1903. His term will expire in 1909. He was made administrator of the estate of his friend, Mr. Lanier, representative of a prominent: South ern family, and "at once assumed man agement. Among the debts presented for settlement was one for $30,000, al leged to be due to Rountree : and Co., for notes passed by Lanier to the firm in a cotton deaL Creditors ; in North Carolina were forced to take fifty cents on the dollar, it is alleged, because of the inroads made upon the : estate by the paywent of this claim. Relatives of the ; dead man join with the creditors in the efforts which they are about to : make to have the courts here and in North Carolina declare the payment: illegal on the ground that the notes were given for the purpose of dealing on a margin, which, it is said, under the North Carolina law is con strued as gambling. It is held that the administration had no right to pay out a, gambling debt as against other credi tors.. The center , of the agitation is Salisbury, the home of Senator Over man. x '. ; V Four prominent law firms have been retained by the creditors and members of the family of Mr. Lanier, and ar rangements have been made to have, a hearing before a court commissioner in this .city. I- H. Clements, of Salis bury, came here this week to conduct the examination in the interest, of Sen ator Overman and R. H. Rountree and Co., successors to the original firm of W. B. Rountree and' Co. The sudden death of Albert L. Rountree, a member of the firm, put a temporary stop to the proceedings. Mr. Rountree knew the details of the transaction and was a most important witness. It is argued by' Senator Overman and the Roun trees that cotton opera tions; even- on . a margin, have been held by all the courts to be legitimate commercial transactions.They say the; position of the contestants is un tenable. On the Other hand the con testants assets that the, matter is still open for review on account of the de; lay in settling up the estate and liling the- final accounting;' which was done recently." Papers on file In Salisbury, where the suit Is" brought,5 cannot be obtained- until the lapse of a year un der the North Carolina practice. Hence it. is impossible to present- the exact language of the complaint - ; Some of Senator 'Overman's friends' pre'f fend 'tb"se"fe poTfticaj 'signlfiyknc'e iita the attack on. hini,' in view of the fact that a bitter fight has been started up on him by ; the Republicans and Popu lists of the State. ' '"'' THE COST OF LIVING. William Waldorf Astor spoke recent ly before the London Cabmen s Bene volent society, an organization in which he ; takes -a deep interest. Mr. Astor's. subject was "Kindness," and at one point he said "Kindness is a vm tue that stands out brightest by, con trast with some signal piece of cruel ty that, was practised, my gardner in form.es me, on a certain costermonger: "This costermonger lay dying. As he neared his end, his wife said to him. 'Don't you think you could eat a bit of K something John?' " T might,' the man answered. " 'Good,' she said. 'Now, what can I get for you?" "'Well,' said the costermonger, 1 seem, to smell a ham a-cooking' some where. I think I could eat a bit o' that.' " 'Oh, no, John dear,' said the wife. 'you can't have that. That's for the funeral.'

New York Sun. "". .. ; In the census statistics of persons engaged in gainful occupations no dis tinction is made between those who work for a daily or weekly wage and those who receive yearly salaries, al though. .the.iicQndidpnsb of these .two groups - .anej ; economically entirely un like, -, -- - The Commissioner of Labor rppntly submitted a report of the representa tive manufacturing industries of the United States, in which it was shown that the condition of the wage earners last year was better than ever before in the history of the. country. Wages were high, employment was unusual ly steady and dollars brought more than they usually do. While there is no official report to say that the con ditions prevailing among wage earners in manufacturing industries .prevailed also among wage earners -in nearly all other fields of. industry. .. : In some lines there has been an in crease in the daily wage -rate and in others, while, there may have been little of no - change in wage rates; there has been steadier employment ahd therefore an increase in the .total income for the year. It may therei fore be assumed that the economic condition .of the wage earners of this country has never been better, than, or even quite so good as, during the years 1905 and 1906. The agricultural laborer is a wage earner, but the 6,000, 000 farmers, planters, dairyman, etc., are neither, wage earners nor salary earners. Good crops and good prices for crops have given to them an abundant; prosperity. The general ac tivity of trade and commerce and fair profits On transactions have placed the merchants beyond any. very keen anx iety as to the cost of living. There is however, a' class,, large in numbers though difficult if not impos sible of precise tabulation, to which the general prosperity, as represented by trade activity, high wages and high prices has -brought loss rather than gain. In this group there belong, prop erly, the clerk, the salesman, the bookkeeper,- the clergyman, teacher,, sold ier, policeman, the Government em ployee and many others whose in comes are in the form of fixed salaries. Most if not' all of them have been losers rather tnan gainers by the : in creased cost of living. v As that in crease is beyond, question due in large part to the increase in the wage rate of wage earn erp, it may even be said that the salary earner is injured by the general prosperity of the producing and trading classes. The number ad versely affected by the increased cost of living is probably more than , two millions. " , .
