The Music Department of the Wom an's Club held one of the most inter esting and enjoyable programmes of the year at the Merchants and Manu facturers Club Thursday evening. April Bth. The study was O’Honry. Miss Janie Ivlutz, our president, gave a summary of his life in Texas, intensperxing it with rare bits of humor. I repeat one advertisement from Miss Klutz’ article from a news paper which he edited in Austen. "Miss Hattie Greep, from Paris, 111... is steel riveted steam or water power automatic oiling, thoroughly tested visiting her sister. Mrs. G. W. Grubs. Little Giant engines at Adams and Co. Also sachet powders, McCormick reapers and oysters.” Mrs. Will Odell brought us a closer vision of the writer. The character sketch she gave was from personal acquaint ance. She spoke of the years he was a drug clerk and of the pictures he drew of the men who frequented the store 'and the verses written about them are treasured today, of his friendship, and his fear and aversion to women. She stressed the point of his gentle birth, and inate refine ment. and the charming personality he had. Miss May White read "Thimble. Thimble,” the gem from his collection of short stores. If you have not read the story I suggest you do. O'Henry’s works rank with the classics. His intimate and keen un derstanding of people from all walks of life has touched the heart of the world and men have called him great, because he understood. High on the dusty roll which ages keep his name is written, and children’s children will laugh and weep over the stories of O’Henry whom North Carolina de lights to honor. MEMBER.

MRS. ERNEST PORTER DIES j IN HOSPITAL EARLY TODAY Deelh Came as Shock to City. —Condition Became Critical at Midnight. Mrs. Frances Craven Porter, wife of Ernest Porter, prominent Concord druggist, and one of the most popu lar women in Concord, died at the Concord Hospital early this morning, her death coming as a shock to the city. Mrs. Porter entered the hospital several days ago and submitted to a serious operation. Her condition had been regarded as favorable and there was no change for the worse until about midnight when she was seized with a sinking spell from which she did not rally. She died at 5:30. Mrs. Porter was 32 years of age and was a daughter of the late K. L. and Mrs. Craven. She was born and reaped in Ooneord, being prominently identified with the social life of the younger set. She had been married about 10 years. Surviving are her mother, husband, two sisters, Mrs. L. A. Weddington and Miss Adah Craven, both of Con cord ; and three brothers, B. It. Cra ven. of Concord, and Henry and Lois Craven, of R^ieigb. Few deaths within recent months in Concord have come witli such an unexpected suddenness as that of Mrs. Porter. While it was generally known that she was in the hospital and had submitted to a serious opera tion, her condition until midnight had apparently been as favorable as could be expected. The news of her death spread rapidly, casting a pall of gloom over the city, where she and members of her family are widely known. ADD MRS.

Fayetteville. April 18. —General I George Washington’s general order ; decrying “the foolish and wicked j practice of profane cursing and swear | ing” is being distributed among the j troops of Fort Bragg by General A. | .1. Rowley, commanding officer of the post. General B.owley is insistent 1 that the old y-word, "to swear like a I trooper,” should become a thing of the past, and is having copies of j General Washington’s now famous or j der circulated to all commands. General Washington’s order, issued in July, 1770, is as follows: “The general is sorry to be l'n foriped that the foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swear ing, a vice heretofore little known in an American army, is growing into fashion. He hopes that the officers will, by example as well as influence, endeavor to check it. and that both they and the men will reflect, that we can have little hope of the b’ess ing of heaven on our arms if we in sult it by our impiety and folly. Add ing to this it is vice so mean and low, without any temptation, that ev ery mil of sense and character de tests am] despises it.” In the May Muscle Builder, a Macfadden publication, will be 'found "Muscles That Heroes Are Made Off,” a fact story of New York’s fin est as told by \V.

The world's most 1 ardent advocate of brain and brawn —Bernarr Macfadden, tel'.s "How to Strengthen Your Shoulders.” "Mus cular Wonder Workers" concerns Cor nelius Dixon, dare-devil athlete, and Joseph Rothman, hid partner in ath letic stunts. The attorney general lias made a recent very important decision in which lie holds that the State cannot charge inmates of the schools for the deaf and blind for their training in these schools. The ruling seems to be entirely pust and reasonable.— Charity and Children.
