PLAYING WITH FIRE.
Concord, N. C, Oct 25.
PLATS WITH WOODEN FINGERS.
The latest invention that we
have noticed is the angelus, an
instrument which takes the place
of the musician at the piano or
organ. The sheet music of
course must be "fixed". The in
strument is drawn up to the
pia k or pipe organ and the
sheet is put in to the angelus and
the presiding party uses little
but the pedal when wooden fin
gers press the keys and produce
music as faultless as if by an ex
pert musician. It is said that
there are but four of these in
struments in the south, but if
they come up to what is claimed
they are destined to find great
favor.
What a comfort to parents
who are so fond of music as to
spend great sums of money to
educate their daughters in music
only to be deprived again when
these daughters depart to enter,
themselves, upon the sterner
duties of life and drop the prac
tice that was largely a parlor ac
complishment. If the angelus
proves a complete success let us
slightly change the name to an-gel-for
us.
.'" We note from an interview
tint Dr. Eilgo is very well
pleased with the results ob
tained by young women in
Trinity college put. The same
course of study is pursued and
the young women seem to go
go about their studies with a
pleasing matter-of-fact way and
a mental poise free from many
of the little nervous freaks dis
played among their own sex.
The doctor's report of Trinity's
success gives further room to
ask why not educate those to
gether who are to be mated and
must learn the art of blending
their lives into one or fail to at
tain to. the highest marital bliss'.
A Paris dispatch of the 21st
says Capt. Dreyfus' health is im
proving. It is his ambition to
get reinstrated in the army
though he should soon offer his
resignation. It would be a vin
dication. He said on the famous
trial "I love the French' army"
His is amazing loyalty.

Those who t seek temptations An extended clinical use of Har-
have to be strongly armed if
they would resist them. The
trusted clerk or agent who goes
wrong does not begin by com
mitting a recognized crime. He
first plays with fire in the shape
of temptations. Some form of
gambling it may be legitimate

He uses at first his own money
(nobody can object to that, ho
argues), and by the time he has
lost more than he can afford, he
has become infatuated and sees
an opportunity to recover. Then
he "borrows" 'from his employer
without mentioning the fact, and
whether in this venture he suc
ceeds or fails his doom is sealed.
The ice once broken, he goes on'
until at last he has lost all sense
of honor, has stifled his con
science and is ready to embezzle
any amount or betray any trust
to satisfy his consuming greed
for gambling profits or to pro
tect his unearned public reputa
tion. This is no fancy picture.
It is the story of the downfall of
scores of defaulters and embez
zlers who might have lived
honest lives but for the first false
step they made in playing with
fire. Men who sacrifice honor in
other ways begin in a small way
generally. Curiosity, it may be,
leads them into bad company.
They do not intend to commit
any wrong, but they want to s.ee

is
called, and they venture into low

no other intention than to look
