Thursday. July 30 1914
There is a large number of
people just now who are enjoying-
the sea breezes or mountain
air, taking a rest so-to-speak. It’s
very nice when one can find the
j time to get off. A trip of this
1 character has often brought
I roses back to the cheeks and
health and vitality back to the
individual. It is worth it if you
can spare the price.
Was it not a sight to note
Caillauxs wife and his discarded
wife facing each other in a
French criminal court last week
while one of them stood charged
with murder. Caillauxs present
wife pretended to be deeply
interested in screening public
view from the hideous things of
her hellish life. It’s all a dirty
mess, but it’s oft-times seen to
require the taking of a human
life before the soiled masked of
llans Schmidt, who is under dishonor may be torned away.

Anna Aumuller,has appealed for The Old Dreamer

By the fireplace there
I am lookin’ out on the snow,
Over its stillness the moon shines
bright.
But it’s hidn’ her dear, sweet face to
night.
11
The eyes that looked in mine of old
Are folded down in sleep—
The dear, bright eyes
That held the skies
Of heaven in their keep,
What knows the snow, so chill and
deep
Or the eyes God’s angels Kissed to
sleep?
III
I’m glad the night is all so still
And never a wild wind raves.
But I wish, when God
Sends the snow to the sod
That it wouldn’st hide the graves;
For the moonlight failin’ softly there
Brings me a dream of her starbright
hair.

The sweetest memory of life —
How long has she been away?
Was she not here
This Christmas year.
Sweet-singin’ of the May,
When the mornin’ glories climbed to
see
The face whose light made Heaven for
me?
V
O winter night, so still-so white
O’er hills and icy streams.
Take you the tears
Of love-lost years —
To the dreamer read my dreams,
And tell her a ringlet from tresses of
light
Rests on the heart of her lover to
night.

hatched scheme that Schmidt
did not murder the girl, only cut
up the body after death which
resulted from an operation a
surgeon performed. Why do the
courts trifle so long with a case
like this. He has already con
fessed that be murdered the girl,
and has been proven to be a
treacherous character of the
most debased type, yet the law
and State will keep on spending
money just allowing him to
probably escape the electric chair.
Let him die and quick about it.

Whiskey being transported by
automobiles is the latest. The
automobile is doing full part in
the worldxof sin and sorrow. An
automobile conveying whiskey
near High Point was seized
Saturday night. The officers
consider j this form of whiskey
traffic the shrewdest method of
blind tiger. Whiskey the greatest
instrument of the devil, will find
a way to reach those who are j
weak enough to be caught in the |
evil one’s net. National prohi
bition is the only solution lo this
horrible whiskey dealing. It may
not eliminate it altogether, but
will greatly lessen its use and m
time do a wonderful good.
Path of the Kakapo.
Several birds make regular paths to
and from their resorts. Those of the
Antarctic penguins are noted by ail
explorers iu their region. Very no
ticeable are those in the haunts of the
kakapo, the large, rock-dwelling, bur
row-nesting ovl'liko pirrot of the
mountains of New Ze'^’and. They
beat down regular paths along the
spurs and ridges where they abound,
so that a person might be excused for
supposing they were meant for human
feet. It is along ♦hese avenues that
the birds go to and fro on their noc
turnal rambles, and as they march
they snip off and perhaps eat every
protruding spear of grass or weed,
keeping the path perfectly clean.
When the path is buried in snow they
still follow it on the surface and soon
beat down a track.

The besi attention given to all
matter entrusted to mv care.
Dr. James H. McIntosh, a well
known citizen of Columbia, S. C.
whose life was attempted by
assassination a few days past by
some of Charles Blease's thugs
is not dead, rather badly wounded. I
Blease says he is sorry of the
attack, but we don’t believe any
of that, Blease knows that it is
his mouth that has produced a
condition in South Carolina that
makes such things possible. It
is a pity that there is not some
way to gag him, but he plays j
upon the credulity, and ignorance \
of a class that makes Blease
possible.
It seems that Mr. Huerta, the

bile trip to Peace River Crossing on

usually regarded as subarctic, and
certainly virgin country so far at
automobile travel is concerned. A

five men fishing in good old Hudson
bay style through the ice of Lesstr
Slave lake, with the automobile In the
near distance. Couriers du hols usu
ally engage in the latter operation to
get fish for themselves and their dogs,

long as the fuel holds out. The jour
