Write at onrp. Thursdav. January 11 1912 Th« Useful Verb "To Get.** There is no word, long or short, in! the English language capable of per forming so much labor in a clear, in telligible sense as the verb to get. And here is an old time specimen of its capabilities; “I got on horseback within ten min utes after I got your letter. When I got to Canterbury I got a chaise for town, but I got wet through before I got to Canterbury, and 1 have got such a cold as I shall not be able to get rid of in a hurry. I got to the treasury about noon; but, first of all, I got shav ed and dressed. I soon got into the se cret of getting a memorial before the board, but I could not get an answer then. However, I got Intelligence from the messenger that I should most like ly get one the next morning. As soon as I got back to my inn I got my sup per. When I got up in the morning I got my breakfast and then got myself dressed that I might get out in time to get an answer to my memorial. As soon as I got it I got into the first chaise and got to Canterbury by 3 o’clock, and about tea time I got home.”—Ave Maria. Th» Making of Chipped Glaw. Sheets of glass that are covered with ft Bhell-like raised pattern are in u»e for screens, partitions, electric light fixtures and other purposes. This chipped glass, for the pattern is often really chipped out of the surface, in volves a process that is interesting. The sheet of glass to be treated is placed under a sand blast In order to give it a grain. This ground surface is next treated with a solution of good glue, and the glass is placed in a dry ing room on a rack, where it remains for some hours. Next the sheets of glass are removed to the chipping room, where they are placed on edge back to back, with the coated surfaces outward. This room la heated by steam coils, and when the heat is turn ed on the glue reaches its utmost de gree of desiccation and curls off the glass in pieces from the size of a dime to that of a silver dollar, but it ad heres so closely to the glass that in its effort to get free it tears a piece off the surface, the result being a beautiful pattern.—Harper’s Weekly. Mebane has more than treb- bled its population in the last ten years, it has doubled its commer cial interest in the past two years, doubled its freight busi ness in the past year, it has built two commodious tobacco ware houses, both of which are doing a very satisfactory business, in the past year the streets of Mebane were paved, and now the town is looking hopefully to the New Year for greater things. Mebane as a thriving and pros perous town is attracting State wide attention. The Leader going to the four quarters of the globe and elsewhere tells the story, as no other agency could do. The Leader has been published in Mebane three years, and daring that time has done its work well for Mebane, and it is doing it be cause it is built that way. It would rather feel more encour agement in its work, but that is the business of the people who owe it to us, ours is to do our duty. Wellington’s Subtle Retort. Wednesday, 19th October, 183G—Lord Fitzgerald made us laugh at dinner today with a story about John Wilson Croker, whose pertinacity of opinion is well known. He was laying down the law after dinner to the Duke of Wellington and, according to custom, asserting the superiority of his own Information on all subjects, having even flatly contradicted the duke, who had mentioned some Incident that had taken place at the battle of Waterloo. ] At last the conversation turned upon the use of percussion caps for muskets of the army when Croker again main tained a directly opposite opinion to that which was urged by the duke, who at last good humoredly said to him, “My dear Croker, I can yield to your superior information on most points, and you may know « great deal more of whnt passed at ‘W'aterlod'than myself, but as a sportsman I will maintain my point about percussion caps.’’—Thomas Raikes’ Journal. RICHESON AND GALE DIMMES- of I human Riche- confes- seems a The confession of C. V. T. Richeson and the conduct of hin part precedinf? it testifiies powerfully to the mignt of the conscienes which God has given man. That confession rings true. It is the outcry of the iiumari' s6ul In "an earthly he.];. .Dougrhtleas the man’s ministerial training ant habits ' made his sufferings greater than th.ey would otherwise have been.-^Charlotte Observer. In a moment of demoniacial passion Rev. Richeson handed to Miss Avis Linnel a capsule containing cyanide of potassium, ons of the most deadly poisons known, and Mr. Richeson was fully aware of the effect such a drug in the stomach. And now Mr. son comes forward and ses to his crime. It season for cenfession, Beatie confessed, the McNamaras con fessed, and now Richeson has confessed. As foul as the crimes that these parties committed it is evident that they had a con- concience, if it had been deeply asleep, But there are a plenty in this world who have no con science, never had any, the fact IS we do not believe they have any more soul than a beast. They are so entirely wrapped up in their own infernal selfish de sires, they neither know or care to know anyother interest, and because they do not commit crimes that would break their necks IS the loye of their own nves. It ia fear.and not a desire' to obey the law. The Larch In Labrador. The soil and atmosphere are so cold and dry in faraway Labrador that scarcely any vegetation thrives at all. The larch is a species of pine tree which is found in all northern coun tries, but its growth Is so stunted in Labrador that a specimen found on the most southern part of that dreary land was but nine inchaa iiflteight and the trunk w^s but thre«««4*^th8 of an inch in diameter. A carafnl examina tion of the miniature tree revealed its age to be at least thirty-two years, for there were that number of ring growths shown in its small trunk. The very cold currents pouring down from the north and th* fact that Labrador has less sunshine than Alaska, tOr gether with several inland cllmatla conditions, make the summer seasons shorter and colder than are those of Alaska.—Exchange. The Logical Name. “What a queer name for a child,” said the woman who had just moved next door. “Are you sure they named It Breeze?” “Yes, Indeed, and it Is a most nat ural name for the child,” was the re ply. “I suppose it’s the outcome of a cheap joke on the father’s part,” sl^- ed the new neighbor. “When the child is naughty he is likely to suggest a spanking Breeze.” “Not at all, though I’ll mention that to him,” said the other. “You see, the family name is Storm. Before she was married the mother’s name was Wind—Augusta Wind. Upon marriage her name became Storm, of course, making it Wind-Storm. Now, when the little girl was bom they were puz zled about selecting a name. They coujd not agree until some one said a little Wind-Storm might be called a Breeze, The little one Is just like her mother, and a little Gusta Wind it”— But the new neighbor wouldn’t stay to hear the rest of it—New York Press.

Financial ability is not alone the power of getting moneyed men’s ears and interesting “big capital.” The bank is the bulwark of small business. Given an enterprise that has a legiti mate excuse for being and available assets, If It is backed by men of Integ rity, it can always command the sur port of its bank for working capita;;^ Yet it ia astounding how many small| businesses start without even confer ring with a bank or banker. This is a mistaken The man who wants to finance a small concern successfully should get acquainted with his bank ers, keep them in touch with the busi ness and afford them every opportunity to analyze Its condition. There Is no finer security than the confidence of your bank, and the cost of getting cap ital in this way Is very small Indeed compared with the cost of underwrit- Ing more or less inflated Issues of stock.—Business.
