Seeing that he would never get a hearing In the promiscuous crowd that had assembled at the railway station the wise man caught the gul lible newspaper reporter by the arm and led him away, to a vacant seat anu pumped him full of hot air. "Yes, yea, ou see that old gentle man with the wrinkled face, the one eye, the unkempt beard ? Why, I care aay that he was wounded In the Bat tle of the Wilderness. He was a good soldier but has never maae a copper since the war. If he had never gone to thewar he would have been a common loafer, but if the war had continued long enough and he had not been kllle- at the front he would have be come a general. He Is a natural born fighter. As old and decrepit as he Is he would go now and march all day to get to shoot at a Yankee. He la an unreconstructed rebel. Look at the fire in his little eye! He has a, con tempt for every one around him. "That big read faced Nllow over there, reading the paper, is the Jaca ha lives. To look ' at him, with nls heavy Jowls, his red cheekc, and his powerful shoulders, the ordinary man would put him down as a bully of bullies and a giant of glentH, but he la such an arrant coward that he Is amiable.

A Dr. C. Q. Vardull, of Ited Springs, prexldent of the Southern prenUyterl un College, spent yewterday In the city on business. He came here to look a. ter erne printing which he Is having dona in anticipation of commence ment. The programme for that hap py event follows: : ' Sunday morning, May 19th, at 11 o'clock. Rev. Dr. D. Clay Lilly, of Winston-Salem, will preach the bac calaureate sermon to the members of the graduation class. In the evening, he will preach a specie 1 sermon to the members of the Young Women's Christian Association; t ; ; Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock, the art exhibit and reception will take place. . ... -:-:--'b.-vv'.M' ' ' '.;;'- Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock, the board of trustees of the college will meet. The annual concert will be held. In the evening at 1:10 o'clock. Wednesday will be commencement day proper. In the morn ing at 11 o'clock. Governor K. B. Glenn will deliver the annual address. The awarding of diplomas and the other exercises will Immedi ately follow. THE HENS IDENTIFIED. Several Fowls of Those at Police Bu tton Recognised as Property of So licitor Clurknon Others Waxing Fat and Laying Eggs in Gratitude for Kind Treatment. The brown Leghorn chickens in the coop at the police station which, as stated In yesterday morning's Obser ver, corresponded to the description of those missing from Solicitor Clark son's henyard, were easily identified and restored to their rightful owner. Meanwhile the others are still in cus tody In the police station. Despite their rather close confinement, they do not apparently , greatly mind the restraints that are placed upon their liberty. Like the English mill girls, they .appear to realise that they are the wards of the government and know how to appreciate the honor. Being well cared for and freed from all responsibility and care, they are growing fat. Their gratitude at their hospitable treatment is being dally evidenced by a number of fine eggs. To Hold Cleveland Court. There has been no reoonvenement of Mecklenburg Superior Court since Thursday. Judge Ward, who has since been In the city, not knowing any better place to stop, will prob sbly leave this morning for Shelby, where he Is to preside over Cleveland 8uperlor Court, beginning Monday. The next term of court for Mecklenburg will convene April 22 and continue two weeks. !A week of civil court, begln- I I. -J 'ho Clii'-im of Pitvltl'itn Or los and Ioiin A- lttino of O'liorloltc. A copy of the articles of Incorpora tion of the Davidson BulMiny and Loan Association was, filed with Clerk of Court J. A. Russell yesterday. Among those who are Interested are J. E. Brittain, Thomas p. Harris, "j. A, White, W. H. Thompson, TV; E. Cathey, M. H. Goodman and John B. Jetton. Business will be commenced a soon aa J 00 scares, having a par value of $100 each, are subscribed. The announcement, of the organisa tion of a new buhdlnf and loan as sociation In the county, will be re ceived with pleasure 5 by Charlotte people. A city's progress may be 'ap proximated by the showing of the lo tted building and loan asoclatlons. This is largely true In the case , of Charlotte. The Queen City Is known as one of the strongest building , and loan cities in the land. The Mechan ics Perpetual Association Is by odds the largest In the South and one of the wealthiest in the United States. Reference is frequently made to it by the Northern building and loan Journals as a typical Institution and one representative of Southern pro gress. The two other local associations the Mutual and the Charlotte are not so old as the Mechanics Perpetual, but they are Just as strong. The three are a credit to the city and are do ing no small work in building up Greater Charlotte. Distinguished Official Coming. Superintendent T. S. Franklin, of the First Baptist Sunday school, has been fortunate enough to secure Mr, W. E. Andrews, auditor of the treas ury .epartment, in Washington, to come to Charlotte, the third Sunday In April and speak to the school. Mr. Andrews is one of the best known Sunday school workers In America and li a financial expert of inter national reputation. The subject of his address will be "Builders and Their Models." 1 Does Coffee disagree with you? Prob ably It does! Then try Dr. Bhoop's Health Coffee.

Study her attitude towsrd that chap! I can put two and two together and make four. That man by her side loves the ground that she walks on. He Is a ciasle knows but little about the world and she has a silent con tempt for him, yet she keeps a string on him. "She has a honey of her own, and he Is as gay as a lark.
