THE BEN I) IN THE ROAD. Wp pre not familiar with the road on whish wa were driving. It was lonely, and we suddenly perceived a fen..' straight ahead that seemed to coirA'tiljl bar cu: further progress. ' "Does the road end there with that farmhouse ?" asked the anxious one ; . beside us. "Or is there anothev road . cpering cut along that fence to the northward?- It doesn't look like it." ,\V " decided to go on as far as postibli And we found at (die end cf the road another opening but and lending es on to obr intended destination. It is often thus in life; the path ahead seeniB completely barred, or it s tem8 so hopeless and futile to go I trudging on along the path of duty. Bdt if we are confident it is the right way for us, let us go. bravely forward, knowing that at the right time r and the right place there will open up another path for us that will lead on to better things.?Selected. -is:?- o COMING SEPTEMBER 14th. The marriage of the Midgets or Tom Thumb Wedding. A novel home talent play that delights everybody. Over 60 bright, beautiful children of Roxboro from 3 to 10 years of age will give a complete imitation of a "Society Wedding'".

A movement has been, started in New York, says a religicn exchange, to impress upon the American people the need of reenter and genera! attendance uoon services of the Church. "In. that city particularly, things have come to such a desperate pass ns toi . make 9uch a movement a . necessity. Of the entire so-called Protestantj population, hardly one-tenth may be v seen in the churches save on very j special occasions. Nor is the case, much better in other cities. We have had occasion recently to ascertain how. oven in the rase of well-meaning church members, this indifference to attending: worship has taken root; with what ease- people can per-1 suade themselves that they miss lit-1 tie or nothing when theja^tay at home, or spend Silnciay away from both, home and church. We have in mind a 'man who in his younger days was most devoted in his attendance both at the regular services and in Sun-| day echodl. Today he is virtually a stranger in both places and yet c6n^ siders himself a member. As he is a good eater, we asked "him how many meals he ate each day, and without pues'aing cur purpose, he" answered. , "Three," We then asked, him Why he didn't ston eating for a week, and he J".. smiled as if such an omission were .unthinkable. We then asked him how many services he had missed during the year?and he saw the point. That goes to the root of the matter. If there are so many lean and starving Christians,-why is it? They go through the year with very little . nourishment. They do not get it in the House of God,, and they dc not eoftk it in their homes. If they treat-! ' ed their bodies' as they treat their souls, they would be under the sod in less than six months. Many whoj cme plain That much is wrong with; t/ the church would find the answer in the dsccverv of wbjt is vron? withj themselves. It is when people neglect the means of grace that they lose all interest in the Church, and; then join; the multitude who turn the Holy Day into a graceless holiday. There is" need of a National Church Attendance Movement, Reader, join it?and get ^ others tc do likewise.

The chang from a day of physical activity ti one cf seven oY more hours of cqn finement is great and may bring 01 an illness unless a few precaution: are taken. For a short time at least [the school days might well be broke] up into more than the usual numbc of periods and the children given fre i ouent recesses. They should be ad vised to eat less heartikv of stronf i foods during the first two weeks o I schorl so that the physical machine considerably slowed down as it i* i may have a chance to adjust itself Moreover, the first assembling o large numbers of children from dif ferent homes may mean bringing i] | the perms of colds, measles, scarle fever or other diseases.

I MEMORY A BLANK 24 YEARS Impaired Mentality, Due to Wound In FlQht, Caused Indians to Spare His Life?Gets Aid for Pension Claim. McKee City, N. J.?Charles Hay? ward, a seventy-year-old farmer who I lives here, says he Is a survivor of the Custer massacre, when General George A. Custer and his Seventh cavalry were slaughtered by the Ogalala 1 Sioux, at the Little Big Horn river ' June 25, 1876. Tlie histories of the event have always stated that not a single white man survived Custer's t Impetuous attack against n force that outnumbered his ten to one. But Hoy*. I ward's story is sufficiently credible to havo impressed Representative Isaac * Bacharach, who Intends to lay before - the authorities at Washington Hny. ward's claim for u pension based on i his war services under Custer. r Private jn Seventh Cavalry, f Hayward says he was a private in i Company I of the Seventh cavalry when It was detatclied by General Terry as one of three bodies of troopers ordered to attack what was supposed to be a small body of Indian* near the confluence of the Big Horn and the Little Big Horn rivers. And Representative Bacharach has searched the records and found that there was In Company I of the Seventh cavalry daring Its Indian cara' patgns a private named Charles Hayward. To continue Keyword's account. The main body of the Sioux suddenly appeared nn*l cut off from the white forces 264 i fieri In Custer's command. The cavalrymen formed the customary ' circular barricade of slain horses and fought the Indians, who, according to r Hayward, outnumbered them three to one, in contrast to the "ten to one" stated In the New International Ency^ clopuedla. Hayward. as he tells Representative Bacharach, was wounded I "pnd went half out of his mtnd," the latter fact later saving his life. He climbed to the buck of a wounded horse and started to flee. But nq# far from the bacrtoede hehind whl<J Custer's 1 were rapidly being shot "down his horse ruaa shot-again. falling and idn\ nlng Its rider- uaderheat-b ~ * Memory Is Impaired. Of what happened after that Hayward says he remembers nothing. r Later he was told that he had been " found by Indiana, who spared hli - life because of his Unpaired mentality. They put him to work and kept i him In servitude until 1900. TfP that r year he was sent one day to fetch a bucket of water, and while bending over a- bubbling spring his mind cleared suddenly and completely, ai quickly us It had become clouded 24 years before. Then he made his escape. still carrying with him the old h.eudquarters flag of the Seventh cav: airy wound about his waist. When a few years later, be moved to 3 Atlantic county, N. J., he entered a > claim with the pension office at Wash ington for an annuity. But on ac? t count of his previous lapse of memory he was unable satisfactorily to substantiate his assertions or to.-relate his record In detail. Therefore the ' officials refused to believe his story r and his pension was disallowed. Since then lie has repeatedly pe tltloned the bureau chiefs at the capl r tal for an audience, but has had none f Representative Baehgrnch, however, Is going to examine thoroughly the old fanner's romantic story, and If be Ls entitled to a pension he will try tc get it for him. Ha.vward bears upon f his body scars, which he displays witfc _ pride, stating that they are the lasl rj vestiges of the wounds he received t while fighting under Custer at the Little Big Horn.
