A story in the Scottish-American runs that some Pauley weavers were speaking about their ministers when one said that it was wonderful how much his minister could bring out of Bcrip4wr*.

TT the True Mary af tfca Origin rfllh Pa lata Tickler. Once upon a time —a laag jrhfla •go, children—there lived a wile old man who was always trying tp am what ho could discover. > M Having made several pnphul motion machines and eaa or two air ships, he was walking through the fields to avoid his eraihtan when he came upon a pumpkin. "This," ha said to hhwilf, bend ing down and feeling «1 Qm fallow orb, "is a vegetable growth, but 1 firmly believe that it aeqatras its hue from small particles of gold which it extracts from the eafth." 80 he put the pumpkin «n hie shoulder and took it home, telling all anxious inquirers that he was going to discover how to extract the gold from it. At home, in spite of all fci* wife said, he cut the pumpkin up and put it in a pot and boiled it, only ha ar gued that he was melting it. When at last it was a pulpy mass he poured it out of the pot and right on top of a nan of dongh th&i lib wife had rolled out for the pur pose of making a dried apple pie. Now, you know the kind of a wife he had, do you not f A woman who Will feed her husband on dried apple pie deserves to be married to two or three inventors, doesn't sha? And to he pat UM pumpkin and the dough into the oven, asserting that he would harden it with the heat and produce a solid sheet of gold and be so rich thst be could run for office on a reform ticket. But, bless TOO, when the pumpkin and the dough came out of tho oven it was not a solid sheet of gold, at all, but a rich, golden, tantalising section of goodness. And the poor inventor was hun gry, so he bit into it. A lew moments later several of his creditors broke into the house and came upon him, crying: "Look hero 1 Where is all that gold you were going to get for us?" Ana he never even looked up at them, but kept right on eating, say ing: "Who cares for gold? [Bite, bitcv 0-o-o-oh!l Who cares for gold? Mrn, i tave* discovered pumpkin pie!" And the creditors sat down also and ate, and they, too, were happy ever after. So, now, when you cat pumpkin F>io j ou should be glad that the poor nventor dil not imcceed in making gold of the pumpkin, for if he had the pumpkin might never hare gone further than to fill jour teeth.— Judge. Luck In tha Clover. Any one who carries about a four leaved clover will be lucky and will have the power of discovering ghost* or evil spirits. With it under the pillow the lover may insure dreams of tho beloved one. A frngwnt in iho shoe of a traveler insures a raf« journey. Of the five leaved clover it is declared that if it be worn on the left side of a maiden's dress or faxtencd behind the hall door tha Christian name of the first man who enters will be the same as that of the future husband. The power of the four leaved fhftwrock for good ia familiar to all, from Lover's once popular and pret ty song, the speaker in which pic turd what she would do should she find the magic plant: I would play lb# enchanter** part and ■niter tllee around.

A story going the roosds of the police force wss told by the wife of the patrolmen whom it concerns and consequently bean the stamp of truth. Tho policeman in question is on night auty, and one morning last week ho went home after work to take liis fall eight hours' sleep. For two houre he tossed about and could not more than get his eyes ahuL finally in desperation he rose, don ned las uniform and, sitting in a chair tilted against the wall, fell sound asleep. "And I could hardly pet him awake for supper," explained his irife.—Kansas City Journal FROM THE CAPITOL OF OUR STATE Hon. Jos. A. Brown a New Candidate For Lieutenant-Governor. LIVE ITEMS OF INTEREST The Hearst boom in some of the totes is having at least one good Act on the party: It is causing the conservative element to "get together" and practically agree on a candidate in advance of the meet ing of the National convention. It is opening the eyes of those semi blind leaders to the peril of longer postponing efforts to crystsllie pop ular aentiment in favor of one or two men who have a chance to win, and who are fitted for the high and exalted office of the Presidency of the U. S. It is convincing the party managers and leaders that it will not be safe to longer let matters drift along as they have for several months. In North Carolina the disposition to agree on a "good man" at pres ent seems to most largely favor Judge Parker, of New York. He is generally conceded to be a "dear man," and he is known to be an ab!e lawyer and jurist. But it is the simple truth to add that his name does not create any enthusiasm in anybody, and if be did not reside in the pivotal State of New York he would never be mentioned as a presidential poasi sibility. Still, the prevailing opin iou seems to be that he is the most "available" man—and if he is nominate 1 he will be put up chiefly for that reason. The truth of the business is that the Democratic party has not been so short of presidential timber as at present in a generation. Not that there are not aide' and brainey statesmen, and really "big" men in the party, but that none of them seem to be "available" at this time —men like Gorman, Cleveland, Hill, Bailey and a half-dozen others. This condition is due chiefly to the quarrels and differences within the party during the last ten ycara. Shrewd and well informed poli ticians in Wellington and New York will tell yoti that if Grover Cleveland could be induced to ac cept a fourth nomination (and I do not believe he could be prevailed on to do so) that he would be likely to beat Roosevelt. Some of them say he would be certain to do it, and then they add that he is the only man the Democrats can put up that could beat the Republican candi date this year. G- And yet it is not probable that the convention would nominate Cleveland if he were to consent to accept. And although the "old man" has largely regained bis former popularity with the rank and file of his party, there is yet a considerable proportion of Demo crats (especially among the recent lieutenants of Mr. Bryan) who would rather see Roosevelt elected than to witness a party victory, under Cleveland's leadership,again. It is this kind of feeling that helps along such a "boom" in the Interest of a candidate like Mr. Hearst. *. * a A new candidate for the nomi nation for Lieutenant- Governor has entered the field, viz.; Hon. Joseph A. Brown, of Columbus county—one of the best men in North Carolina, and one who has served bis State and party moat and efficiently, in the Senate and elsewhere. He was tbe presi dent pro tem of the Senate at the last session of that body and made a most excellent presiding officer. He will make a strong race and his friends (who have, alter much per suasion, induced him to allow tbe use of his name) expect to see him nominated. * * * The voluntary appearance of K. S. Finch before Chief Justice Clark last Friday and Saturday, to an swer the bench warrant issued for him on March 15, resulted in the binding of him over to the Superior Const of this (Wake) countyin the ■ ■ r A Blue X Mark In the Square Bekrai □ nKani inav your ouDKiiptton nKn wftn nui ISHS nun of $3,000 also, and it is now understood that he and Mcßee will be aeriotaiy aad actively prosecut ed on the charge of conspiracy. It was attempted to prove at the hear ing that there had been a tacit "agreement" or "understanding" between Gov. Aycock and counsel of Mcßee and Finch that the prose cution woukl be stopped when the latter abandoned the receivership matter. lam informed that if lfr. Finch had remained away the probabilities were that the matter would have been allowed to die out as the State was satisfied. Gov. Ay cock stated(as a witness) that be had not agree ment —that as the matter was in the courts he would not have been justified hi making one Bat that conferences had been held with Judge Robinson, of counsel for the defendants, and "I told him I had no desire to dance on a corpse;" that "if your clients get ont oi this Federal Court proceeding, after the people of North Carolina get in a good humor again they will not care whether Finch and Mcßee go ta|ibe penitentiary and wear stripes or not." * • a Dr. William DeWitt Hyde, pre sident of Bowdain College, will preach the commencement sermon at Trinity College on Sunday morn ing, June sth.

Col. Alspaugh is one of the honored trustees of the college. * * * The gubernatorial canvass ap pears to be "holding it's own," with the friends of Messrs. Sted man, Turner and Glenn actively at work for their favorite. Major S ted man's manager appears to be confident ot success. The same thing may be said of a num ber of the friends of Lieuten ant-Governor Turner. Both of these gentlemen continue to grow in favor and are stronger now thau at any time since the canvass open ed. Mr. Turner's friends say they expect the balloting to be prolong ed in the convention and that their man's chances are certainly as gotxl as those of any one. MaJ. Stedman's friends are hop ing and expecting to see him nomi nated on the second or third, if not the first ballot, they say. Mr. Glenn delivered another ad dress here last Sunday. This time he spoke at a labor meeting, called for the purpose, and as usual, spoke eloquently. Llkwxam.

Three physicians had given me up. Then I was advised to use Electric Bitters; to my great joy, the first bottle made a decided improvemnt.
