i :-i -, i SfSlNGIilS HOUSED t Is Said torbi aiseftt Singer, But Very . In Uiicle Remus's'Magazine for January, is a letter from one of the Magazine's subscribirs telling of a. marvelous vocalist, the sing mg mouse. Here is the tale, be it ' true or nature fake v Suddenly in the riighfc; as I lay ; awake, T, heard a fe!w notes, sweet and blear, yet low j and faltering, as if the, singer were uncertain of his power, and -feared to let his voice out to its' full!. It was very , like the jBpng of a bird a caged . bird, that -dreaming of sky and stream and forest, sings in his sleep, with head tucked beneath a wing, thus muffling the sound. Like a flash came (the truth to me : I was being serenaded by that rarely heard -musician, the "sing-, ing mouse 1" Long ago IJiad read of him, but had j never before hoped to -be honored by a seren- ; ade from the shyest Jof singers; be sure that I lay perfectly quiet and listened intently. I found -. his'song lust what it had been de . scribed as being very much like the canary 'Sj only more soft and sweet, harsh, of the altogether unmarred by shrill notes The writer interesting account of the singing mouse claimed that the ;rtjure lsi no strangespecies, but ! .. . 1 . 1 . only tne comvnon ; house mouse that has either inherited the gift of song'or learneidtihe art from . older members of) hisrace. It is " supposed that originally the ac complishment was jlearned from canaries, and - this elems probable as I' singing mice" are more often found in houses where there are canaries. That the do learn the song from each other, and also that it is hereditary! is' proved by the fact that if one lis heard in a house, others are likely to make themsel veskn own ;rom time to time, even unto many generations. As for my own pet, he came every night for several weeks in variably between 1 and 2 o'clock, always he faltered a little at first but afterwards, -becoming more sure of himself , would lethis voice out fully singing'wUh the pure aoandon of enjoyment.- The first few nights I was afraid toarouse my mother,: who slept in the same room but! in mother bed, lest the little fellow tight cease if I should speak. But after the first two or three solos; I ventured to call her, , ai'd he was j not startled'' in the least, butsang oa without pause as if his ears were closed to all save his own musical notes. Af ter .that, at her request, I would always call mother when the en tertainment began, and ' never once did the, mouse become silent at the sound of my" voice, I wish I might say he sings to me.etill, but he does iot. Whether he died a natural death, fell a victim to- some hungry member of the. feline .tribe, or wandered away to parts unknown in search of a new - audience but finding nowhere a more-appreciative one," I am sure it is no given me to record. But the memory of his Bweet song abides with me, and "Oft in the, stilly night" I think of it, add of him, and in my heart E thank him for the de lightful pleasure ' he gave me 'without money and without price," MiRGAEET A.

Michael McRoey Won an Automobile Glren I l?-: Any qd the Coupon System. - Jollier than Williain Gorrell, more melodious than Oscar Jack son, more loquacious than Sid Coles, was Michael McRoey, col? ored, Thursday afternoon as he walked down to the Foreman-Miller clothing store and was there informed that he had won: -the au tomobile which that firm gave away on the coupon system. It became an event of more import ance to.Michael than the emanci pation, and the voice awarding the prize?wasoracular. Michael is just a plain negro. He had risen to no prominence among the colored people of the city, butf yesterday marks his debut hereafter into ''sassiety" and none was more conscious of this fact than he himself.- He talked cleaner English, -walked straighter,and essayed to wear be? coming, dignity. The automobile was won by No. 1692, which Michael held, this be ing one cr four ooupons he receiv ed a few days ago when he pur chased a suit of clothes," ' It was not loog after the hour of drawing until thVnegro put in his appear ance. Some friend had already informed him of the good luck of which he suddenly found him self possessed, and he strode fast to the firm's .store at the corner of Collegejland East Trade streets. He. was fairly out of breath when he got there, and in the supreme happiness of the moment he was too overcome'gto. talkcoherently. He began at once to prepare fcr the removal of the machine to his humble cottage"on Popular street; Great crowds of his kind had gathered around thestore. mixing with a number of curious whites and Michael received wide-spread congratulations. Heisthe firstTnegro"in town to own an auto and this' fact is more significant to him than the win ning ofthe prize. GharlotteOb sarver. - Whlsksy.fthelMorderlng Demon. The saddest incident so far of the holidays is' the killing of lit tle Alma Green at Buena Vista, near Aeheville, by a drunken des perado whoifired-recklessly from a train. This little girl, the baby andpet'ofsher parents jmdbroth ers, ran jo fully to the station to see the tram pass. A drunken wretch fired . recklessly fromfthe train and- the little girl was kill ed. In the short intreval be tween the shooting and her death she cried piteously to her mother that she did not want to die. We denounce lynohing because it is wrong ; it is anarchy and cannot be tolerated. But who, among us if we had been present, could have -a . 1 - .1 said nay n tne arunsen wretcn who killed that child had been j . - . killed on the spot, as he deserved to be? The fact that he was drunk is no palliation, but as the tandmark views ,it, is rather an aggravation of the offense. He may not have meant to kill the child or anybody, but the devil who shoots recklessly, without re gard Ten. whom he may kill or maim, deserves deathjwfaen death results f romhisviciousness, for no matter what he doesn't intend to do, be doesn't care what the result will be; and iEe fact that he may be druuk aggravates the offending. Lance may escape through the law but he deserves to die, and if he meets death oth er than at the hands of the law he will get what he deserves.- Statesviile Landmark, Salisbury Wni Soon bs With Them. What are the most progressive and prosperous towns in North Carolina? Certainly .there are hone more so than Goldsboro, New Bern, Elizabeth City, Greens boro, Durham, High Point and Charlotte. They all voted out whiskey selling and the money werse than wasted in whiskey now goes into better channels and makes all other business better. News and Observer.

Elizabeth City, Deo 25 One of the most horrible and untortunate crimes which has occurred in this section was the killing to-day of Mr. Stevens, baggage master on the Virginia & Carolina Railroad and whose home is in Suffolk, Va. As the regular southbound passen ger train waa "passing through jan open field near Hobbsvillte, a small station about twenty-five miles north of here, five men were seen standing near the track, one of whom fired into the tram and young Stevens, who was standing at one of the windows of the rear coach, reoeiving the en tire load in his mouth killing him instantly. ' The train was stopped as soon as possible, and run baok to the spot where the -men were seen standing, but they haid escapedTo the woods. The body of Stevens waslhurriedlito'this citywhere a coroner's iDquesfc was held, the jury's verdict being that Stevens had come to his death at the hands of unknown party or par ties. As soon as the necessary '' ar rangements could be made the deputy sheriff and a party of men left here on a specialltrainjfor the ecene.of thecrimeJandsurrounded the woods and soon captured the fugitives, one of whom was John White,20;years ofj age, who con fessed to having fired the shot, in to the train, v although" he said that he had ;been drinking and had no idea of doing injury to anyyone. He said he saw the young man on the train fall when he fired the shot and at once re alized that he had made a terrible blunder. The young fellow was arrested ami carried to Hertford where hewas'confihed injail. Young Stevens was well known here and all along the line, and was,very popular with all his ac quaintances.

About six mntha ago I commenced using your Concentrated Iron and Alum Water t mo?fc wonderful and satisfactory results.

I have used and prescribed waters from several Iron and Alum Springs, but none of them begin to come up to your Concentrated Water iff all that goes to make the ideal alterative, strengthener, appetizer and restorative. It is at once a fine tonic and flesh-builder. Have advised several recently to try it, and always with fine and quick results. -In -January I had a bottle sent from one of your dealers to a lady, with the understanding that if it did not at once improve her digestive apparatus, I would pay the $1.00 myself. She not only willingly paid the bill, but used a part of one-half dozen more bottles, and is now completely cured of a long and annoying Stomach Trouble. This seems to be the case with all who try it. " S. P. HILLIARD, M. p., Loans Doubly Secured. If you have any money idle or bringing you less than 6, list it with our Company at once.
