DOUBLE TRACK.
The Southern Will Put it Down
Between High Point and
Greensboro.
High Point is getting is shape
now to have all the railroad facili
ties it needs. Besides the new
movements for railroad and car
lines, the Southern will make im
provement: The Southern Railway Compa-
the construction of the double
track from this city to High t'oint,
aand the work will begin as soon
as the weather will permit and the
material can be secured. The line
is already double tracked from here
to Pomona, three miles of the way,
and for some time the north- and
sonth-bound trains have been using
separate tracks.
From here to High Point is con
sidered one of the worst congested
parts of the entire system, and it
will be a great day for the railroad
company when this part of the
road is double tracked. The con
tract for double tracking the road
between Danville, Va., and Pel
ham, N. C. , has been previously
awarded and it will be built as soon
as possible. This is aone in order
to give better service over the
Western which leaves the main
line at Stokcsland, four miles this
side of Danville.
It is understood that as soon as
these two sections of the road are
completed the contract for con
structing the double track over the
remaining part of the road between
Danville and Spencer will be
awarded. This means that in the
next few months the main line of
the Southern Railway leading botn
directions from Greensboro will be
double tracked
The Southern Railway is keep
ing pace with the march of pro
gress in the South, and it can
truthfully be said, that it has been
one of the most important factors
in the development of the fairest
part of Uncle Sam's domain.
Warning.
It is a misdemeanor to drive over
the new roads until opened by the
supervisor, and Mr. Johnston here
by gives notice that he will enforce
the law. This is a warning to all
people to keep off the new road in
course of construction.
REGULAR FUSILLADE.
Te- Shots Exchanged Between John
Cecil and Drunken Negro.
Thursday at i o'clock a drunken
negro from Winston rode up at
Bodenhelmei's stable and began to
raise a row with the proprietor. In
the melee the negro dropped his
hat and as John Cecil started to
hand it to him the negro opened
fire on Mr. Cecil. The negro shot
twice before Mr. Cecil could get
his pistol oat. After that there
was a regular fusillade, ten shots
being fired at rather close range.
The negro went down the railroad
. and has not been seer since. As.
far as is known, no one was hurt.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
"Little Peter," the Bird That 8pends
Hie Life on the Water. -
"Little Peter" is the real name of
the petrel or bird that lives on the
sea. The harder the storm the bet
ter he likes it, and the more noise
iie sea makes the loader he cries.
The sailors, who are all so jolly,
never like to meet a petreL They
are so dismal in their coal black
coatt), and seamen think they bring
them ill luck too.
You could not guess how the pet
rel sleeps. He first makes of him
self a feather ball and sits on the
water, just as your canary does on
his perch.
Why doesn't he sink? Because
his feathers are so oily he can't.
These birds grow so fat that to
the poor islanders in very cold coun
tries they nre invaluable. After they
are dead a wick is drawn through
their bodies and set on fire, and you
can hardly believe how well this
queer kind of lamp lights up their
huts.
The petrel never goes on shore
except to build her nest, which is
hidden snugly away between rocks
or in the sand. There she lays hei
one egg and brings up her baby.
All day the petrel lives on the wa
ter, but she never forgets at night
to f ecd it.
Sometimes petreh are called
"Mother Carey's chickens." If you
ever go across the water, you may
see them some day. Montreal Star.

obeys without a murmur, workr likr
a horse at whatever task is set be
fore him, walks till he drops down
draws water for his own food, cut(v
his own wood, takes care of his own
horse and sleeps on the ground with
out even giving the smallest sign .of
impatience. He is even taught to
do this without moving a muscle of
his face to show that he does not
like such hard work. What about
the little, boys in civilized countries
who pout because they have to g"
on errands and who refuse to eal
porridge for breakfast?
A Sweet Comparison.
Little Harriet went the other day
with mamma to see Nurse Char
lotte's black baby. When they ar
rived, the fat little pickaninny wai
in his bath, and only his woolly
head and little fat shoulders were
visible above the white suds. The
contrast was startling and seemed
to 6trike Harriet so, for when she
came home and we asked what sh
thought of the baby she said, with a
doubtful look, "He looked like a
'ittle chocolate drop wif the cream
on the outside." When Nurse Char
lotte heard it, no one laughed more
than she.
It Didn't Matter.
A little lad had climbed a very
high spout attached to his parents'
house to get a nest which had been
built by some birds. He was suc
cessful and was walking away with
his companions when a gentleman
who had watched his dangerous
feat stopped him and said: "My lit
tle fellow, I am sorry to see you
risk your life for such a paltry
thing. What would have happened
if the spout had given way?"
"Oh," said the lad, "it wouldn't
have mattered much. We're going
to leave the house tomorrow.

AMUSING BLUNDERS.
8ome Queer Slips That Have Been
Made by Famous Writers.
The writer of an article in the
Yorkshire Post recalls some amusing
literary blunders. Translators con
tribute largely to the list of mis
takes, and the inspired lack of ac
curacy of our Gallic neighbors when
dealing with things English is pro
verbial. Victor Hugo in "Les Tra
vailleurs de la Mer" translates "the
Firth of Forth" by the words "Pre
mier des quatre." Then there is the
priceless translation that gave Cib
ber's play, "Love's Last Shift," the
title "La Derniere Chemise de
l'Amour."
Chaucer in his tale of Troylua
makes Pandarus refer to Robin
Hood. One writer records the fact
that Virgil placed iEneas in a har
bor which had no existence at that
time, "the blunder being about the
same as if a modern poet were to
make Columbus pass through the
Suez canar."
Mediaeval romance teems with
anachronisms, "Orlando Furioso,"
Ariosto's great poem, taking the
prize for reckless disregard of chro
nology. In this 'work Charlemagne
and Edward, king of England; Hen
ry, duke of Clarence, and other mis
mated celebrities enjoy each other's
company. The Moors are settled in
Spain at least 300 years before the
Saracens invited them, while Pres
ter John, who died in 1202, and
Constantine the Great, dead in 337,
figure gayly in these daring pages.
Schiller in his "Piccolomini" re
fers to lightning conductors 150
years before they were invented, and
Shakespeare, whose genius included
a happy gift of inaccuracy, is gener
ous in blunder. In "Julius Caesar"
the clock, a luxury unknown to the
Eomans, i3 the subject of conversa
tion between Brutus and Cassius.
"Peace," says Brutus, "count the
clock." Cassius: "The clock has
stricken 3." It must have been
several hundred years after the
death of Caesar that striking clocks
were invented. Cervantes is respon
sible for making the company at the
Crescent tavern sit down twice to
supper on the same evening, a jovial
mistake that savors of hospitality
and good cheer.
To Charles Dickens we owe grati
tude for many a delicious blunder
to Mr. Squeers for setting his boys
to work to hoe turnips in midwinter
and to the girl, Tattycoram, in "Lit
tle Dorrit," who enters "with an
iron box two feet square under her
arm."
It was a Glasgow paper that de
scribed this unique shipping disas
ter: "The captain swam ashore, as
did also the stewardess. She was
insured for 3,000 aad carried 200
tons of pig iron."
The English Servant.
. The English servant requires to
be studied. The world's other serv
ants are mere amateurs; the English
servant has a trade. As an Ameri
can I proceeded to treat mine a
l'Americaine, and I made by first
blunder. A sensible American is,
if not friends with her servants, at
least friendly. The English woman,
if she is sensible, presents to her
servants a surface of perfect indif
ference, and then she has peace, for
the English servant despises a con
siderate and kindly mistress as not
knowing her place. The most diffi
cult thing f ot a stranger to learn is
that impalpable line between the dif
ferent servants' duties. ; If one does
not , enumerate what one expects of
them when they are .hired, afterward
it is too later They have, however, a
rough sense of honor, and they gen
