There are three pictures suggested to us , in these unrecorded years Jesus in His home, Jesus at worship, thoughtful, loving co irtesy ' pre vails is tne one to which the child ren will look back after they have left it arid to which they will joy fully return-f or after all; what is nearer heaven than , a true home? - ; 1 .Children should be early in structed not in "company man ners. ' ' which are obyiously artifi cial, but in true politeness coming from the heart. Kate Douglas Wiggin, in her charming "story, "The Birds' Christmas Carol," humorously describes the effort of -Mrs. Ruggles to instill into her progeny the essentials of polite behaviour. : They lived in blissful j ignorance of it all their lives, but! an invitation to,Christmas dinner ! makes a slight , knowledge o f etiquette necessary. Hence Mrs. Puggles energetically drills and coaches her little flock, only to have her precepts promptly for gotten. We laugh-at Mrs. Rug gles and her lecture on deport ment, but have we never been guilty of the same to a lesser degree? t . v . . ' 'Company is coming, :the children are told, 4 'and you must behave like ladies and gentlemen. You must eat nicely at the table and not talk much or interrupt any one." And other wise counsels are given. , But you can not condense several years' i n -struction in politeness into a few minutes cramming. Teach the children to be courteous in the home, both to parents and to one another. Let the table be a place not merely for eating, but also for social enjoyment. Train the children how to eat daintily, to be thoughtful in passing the food which is near them and to take he laughed and shouted to me: 'Jack, look here' F looked, and there was a big black Newfound land dog holding the little girl in his mouth, leisurely walking to ward the house jvhere she evi dently belonged. She was kick ing and crying, so that I knew she wasn't hurt and the dog had saved her. My fireman thought it funny and kept laughing, but I cried like a woman. . I just couldn't "help it.

Mr! Butler showed himself to be a fine business man, a splendid talker ,"and a polished gentleman. C W; A.

A guest who was present smilled quizzi cally and asked, "Are you always as particular as that?" "Cer tainly, " replied the mother, ' 'I want Ruth to be polite to me and so I must be polite to her."

Why can't more of our farmers try experiments with corn, wheat, oats, etc? Why not cultivate fewer acres and prepare them better.';.. '"'Ofv; HOME TRAINING. Seen From the Locomotive's Cab." Yes, indeed, we have some queer -little incidents happen 1 0 us," said an old time locomotive engineer at the Diller yesterday afternoon. ''Queer thing happened to me about a year ago. -You'd think it queer for a rough man like me to cry for ten minutes and nobody, hurt ,' - either, wouldn't you ? Well I did, and I can almost cry every time I think of it now; "I was pulling passenger on the Canadian Pacific over in Brit ish Columbia when it happened. 'I was running along one after-, noon pretty lively when I ap proached Kamlops, where the track is laid through the principal street of the town. , I slacked up a little, but was still making good speed, when suddenly about twenty 'rods ahead of me a little girl not more than three years old toddled on to the track.

C. , was then introduced and made a; ringing patriotic 'business . speech, in which he said that his people had recently procured a charter with the intention of meeting the people of North Carolina at the state line and carrying the road from thence through Gaffney to the Seaboard. He called atten tion to the fact that N.. A. Wood President of the Gaffney National Bank, D. C. Ross owner, of Gaff nev tin mine, Ed. H.

Judge E wart was then called upon and responded by giving a statistical report of the 1 country through which this road will runn the number o f inhabitants, schools, towns, business enter prises, etc; and in a general way just such things as capitalists would want to know in order to ascertain what the earning ca- pacityof the road would be. He also stated that he had just re turned from Pittsburg and Cin cinnati, and that he found men ready to furnish the money if a proper survey and a i prospectus would confirm the figures which we clain. . , - ; ; ,The Polk county delegation was called upon, and' responded by a welltimed sensible and ap propriate speech from J. E. Ship man, who said that Polk county wanted the road, was going to have the rSad and that if neces sary his people would subscribe $100:000. Mr. Shipman spoke boldly, because Mr. F.

His dele? cation consists otZ. T. Ledbetter. Mr. Glenn . (county cammissioner from Buncombe, ) and J . P . Cochrane, who were standing behind him and backing him up. The Rutherford delegation. consisting of J. M. Flack, F. T: LeStrange and Col. Thos. Turner responded through Hon; J. B. Freeman, who claimed for them that Rutherford was very enthus iastic 'and that Chimmey Rock was the most important scenie spot in the world; This - delega tion said that Chimmey Rock alone would guarantee an average one. car load of lumber very day for teu years and all the water power that was necessary to run the road, and the finest granite quarries o n earth.
