A.v Anthony, foreman of X H. ,ratA Company's shops, live on a Ufi on East Ninth street, far re j loved from thing that hop and creep. :,ulng 4 hard working man he ia early la bed and early to rise, and his nights are; Messed w4tn sweet sleep; His neighbor look upon tils home as a place of peace,', quiet and restfulness. Therefore, when, the other night, the people" of the community saw a light moving, around In, the Anthony resi dence they knew that something was At $' o'clock in the morning Mr. An thony was awakened by some unusual sound. He knew that the drums of his ears had been shocked by some uncom mon note, and In order to get himself together, he lay perfectly still for a itew moments and listened. "Krr-rr-rArp," came from a back i- room. - 'That la the strangest noise that I ever beard In or near my house," said Mr. Anthony to himself. "I will Just listen a little before 1 Investigate." ', , "Krr-rr-rarp," broke on the night is again. f. "Bless me. if it doesn't sound like - 1 " a spring frog to me," said Mr. An ' thony. as be held his car above the " (' Jrtllow. "but what could a frog be do- ' - ing this high up." Mr. Anthony is a man of the open air. He was raised in Cleveland coun- ty. out in the country, far removed from the bustle and strenuous life of '- the city, and his knowledge of bugs, varments amd common every day an imals is varied and accurate. The doodle Is an interemlnK creulure to lrm, and the ant. the lizsard, the toad - end others of their kind. Being a member of the well-known quartette of the Brevard Street Methodlxt church choir, with Col. C. H. Hikes and othM-s, e he knows good music. His ear is trained, as well his eye and his hand. Therefore, no ordinary thing Would worry him. "Krr-rr-mrp." the pitiful cry came , v again and again. ' "1 declare, that sounds mightily like ' frog to me," said Mr. Anthony ofter very outbreak, "and he seems t be right here under my roof." The thing got on Mr. Anthonys tierves and he could not go back to ateep. He lit hl lamp and began a March but look as he mlgh he could lnd nothing. The outcry kept coming at Irregular interval and Mr. Anthony Would go where it s?emed to originate but always to find that the noise came ''! from somewhere else. Hound and round he went, slipping here and there tn his night robe and stocking feet, trying to locate the Intruder. One member after another of the family Joined In the search until everybody ; knit Dan, a small boy, was tripping C about the house. Dan lay as still as a log: he Was sound asleep. Hut after (he frolic had continued for some time awtnebody decided to wake Dan and let him get the benefit of the fun; the ether children did not think that it - would do to lot him miss all the now. "Dan." said his father, "get up here and aee If you can help us lorate a grog, or something else tnat is maxing av terrible racket." -' Dan st ,un, rubbed his eyes and studied a little. In the meantime the urn monotonous cry '"krrrrr-rarp." went round In the bouse. Dan smiled, , i alld down off the bed, tip-toed into the back room, felt around under the rafriffrator, brought out an old oyster i cartj jcarried it to the light and looked in. "There he Is." shouted the boy glee fully, "I caught him In the branch yesterday and put him In there." It wa a sure enough frog, about the ls of a partridge egg. and the , warm room had made him believe thut apring was at hand and time for him t to begin to sing. Dan carried his pet to an outhouse and set him in a safe pbwe and prom ised never to fetch him back to the house. The neighbors are still luugh tng at Mr. Anthony. . THE MOHKIIKAl) PUOPKUTY.

Jawh and llulse Train Hoys on tlic Linotype Machine A Book Tliat Will Do Good Great Opior tmiltv for Young Men. Mr. E. O. Hulse, of Moravian Falls, Wilkes county, Is In the city. He brought his wife and ibaby down for a little outing. During the strenuous days of last fall, when The Observer was w remit ting with a strike. Mr. Hulse came and labored like a man lo keep things going. He Is a fine linotype machinist and It was he who put The Observer on Its feet again. After all was over Mr. Hulse took himself back to Mo ravian Falls and to Mr. H. Don Laws, the erratic but clever adltor of the famous Yellow Jacket, which circulates throughout the Union and has a list of nearly 100,000 subscribers. Being a man of originality Mr. Hulse saw that a training school for linotype men was greatly needed and desired In the South; the union printer hud kept down the number of apprentices until linotype operators were about the scarcest tradesmen In the land. As a result the Moravian Falls Linotype School was started, the purpose of which is to tench students to operate and care for 'the linotype machine. The term of study runs from six to eight week Hnd one must set 3,000 pins an hour before he quits. In order to take the course a person should have a good English education, so that he will ma-ke a flrst-claaa composllor. The charge of the whool for the training Is 1100 and If the student Is apt he can earn something like $15 a week from the time he leaves there. This is the only school of the kind In the South and those who run It have more demands for men than they can supply. The number of students taken at a time is rive and they have to work from 7 o'clock In the morning to 6 In the afternoon. Mr. Ias Is man ager and Mr. Hulse Instructor, of the school. This -hool Is alnv4 as Interesting as Mr. Laws' paper, The Yellow Jack et. Moravian Fulls Is four miles frrm Wllkesbo'ro, right In the heart of the mountains. Creative genius Is a great thing, and thai Is what Ft. Don Daws and K. O. Hulse have. The school Is one of the greatest newls of the age and It Is In the hands of two masters. Death of Mr. .T. II. Green. Word was received here yesterday of the death, Saturday afternoon, at Ms home In Portniouth, V t Mr. J. M..Oreen, step-father of Mrs. It. W. Vincent, of Chariot le.

The New York Life Insurance Com pany Is In the habit of Issuing local numbers of Its "News Letter" and the hint one fell to North Carolina. Mr. J M. Oldham, of the Charlotte office, dcxerves credit for having done much to make the North Carolina number very attractive. The Illustrations are historical and human Interest stuff flrm-cUss. Itocognltion of .North Carolina Talent. In the Apiil number of The Amer ican Magazine there Is a bright. Inter esting bit of fiction from the pen of aoung North Carolina woman. The story Is entitled, "The Skirmishing of Shiny," and Miss Jean Dalaell Wood, of Wilmington, whose pen-name is Crieff Ia4xell, Is the authoress. She Is u daughter of the late Dr. Thomas V. Wood, and sn alumni of Salem Academy. Though hardly out of her teens Miss Wood has developed rare literary talent and the recognition that Is being accorded her Is gratifying. Have to bo Shown.

Aa Interesting Prog ram mo Rendered ,, the. 1rst . Presbyterian "burcb by' Young Boys of Ua Y. M. C. A. tit. Mary's Defeats McAdcnvlUe, , Tha second anniversary exercises of tha boys' . department of the Young Man's Christian Association was held at the' First Presbyterian church last night, before a large and attentive 'au dience. Seldom is ever In the history of the organization did those who par ticipated in any exercises acquit them selves better than the boya did last night. ' ;, ' The programme began with an organ prelude by Frederick DeGoiyer who was 'perfectly at home at the instru- merrt. This youngster promises ' to rank with the best of organists . If he ' continues to Improve. The boys' choir made quits a hit and too much cannot be eaid in praise of this ag gregation of young singers. The choir Is composed of boys ranging from S to It years of age, and every one was well trained. The boya showed no embarrassment but sung with vim and ease. Their singing caused much favorable com ment front the audience. It -was Inspiring as well as enjoyable to listen to Hehry Allison as he read the Scriptures. He did it with an ease and confidence that some grown people couia not nave nad, ' The annual report of Will Hall show ed that the organisation was In fine condition and that the future was bright. The address by Mr. F. C. Abbott was handled In an Intelligent and thoughtful manner and he proved clearly to the thinking mind that his subject, "Before He is Twenty," was the most important part of a boy's life: that the foundation of the man was then laid for future success. Es pecially interesting was his reference to Ben Hur, which made a lasting Im pression on the minds of many who had the pleasure of hearing It. "A Boy's Personal Responsibility to Other Boys," by Clinton Oraydon, was a feature of the exercise that ap pealed to many boys and parents and will be remembered as one of the pleas ing events of the evening. He handled his subject in a masterful way. "The Boys' Teachers' Training Class was very cleverly treated byi'ble. I do not believe that there is James Means, Jr. For one wearing another medicine In the world Its kne pants It was splendid.

Jones, was full of wisdom , cure. It Is a grand medicine. and will do doubt hear fruition in the future. Mr. Jones could not have chosen a more fitting composition. The opening prayer as delivered by Clyde Walsh commanded the closest attention. It was thoughtful for a young man in his teens. The exercises were carried out with cleverness and dispatch. Those who wei present will long to see the next anniversary come around. The ushers were: Jackson Beall, Frank MacRae, Malcolm Braddeld, Frank Pegram, Ivey Stewart and Will McClure. i DUE BILLS We notice that several piano concerns are offering due bills for different amounts to per son making the most words out of letters contained In the Arm's name.
