Mr. Brown issued forth from
Fairbank Terrace and wended his
way lowards ihe village inn. An
insurance agent named Dawson
was iiolding forth.
"Do you know l:airbank Ter
race?" Several nodded asseni, und Mr.
Brown be:aine more deeply inter
ested. "Well, believe me, gems, I've
kis-,ed every woman in ihai leri ace
exce 'i one".
Mi. litown's lace assumed a
pui pk' hue, and hurriedly quailing
his ale he quilled ihe barroom.
Rushing home, he burst in ai the
door.
"Mary," he shouted, "do you
know thai insurance chap, Daw
son?" Mary nodded assent.
"Well," he continued, "I've just
j heard him say he's kissed every
j woman in this terrace except one."
! Mary was silent for a moment,
and then with a look of womanly
! curiosity, said:
"1 wonder which one that is,"

"Prisoner ai ihe bar," declaimed
the learned judge, "your offense
is of such a nature that, if you
plead guihy, I will let you off with
a fine."
"1'ardcn me," and ihe prison
er's counsel popped up from his
seat. "Before we plead guihy, it
will be necessary for us io know
exactly how much the fine will
be."
''But this is unprecedented,
sir
ly
Court."
"Well, it may be a little unusual,
Your Honor," replied the lawyer,
"but I am sure, when you learn
ihe full circumstances of ihe case,
you will entirely agree to my pro
position. You see, the prisoner is
in the possession of $60; my fee is
$50, and so we cannot afford io
plead guihy if you insist on fining
liun more than $10."
THE REFORMED OFFICESEEKER.
I was raised upon one hundred proof away down south
Where the red-ripe watermelon is a-meltin' in the mouth;
Bui ihe ancient jug is empty I shall tackle il no more,
So pass the grape juice, waiter, for 1 want that office sure !
It hasn't got ihe uplift, when you're Feelin' mighty low
When this old earth is lookin' like a wilderness of woe;
When ihe clouds hang thick above you cast shadows on life's joys,
But I'm a grape juice statesman, For I wani the office, boys !
The mint grows greenly glorious in the gardens, close at hand,
But the julep glass is empty on ihe old, familiar stand;
I've had to change my tactics I'm in the Bryan line;
I want the office waiter, put ihe joyless juice in mine !
I really am no betier than ambassadors who sip
The beverage of Bryan, when they'd rather have a "nip;"
Bui you see, I want the office; I'm in the grape juice class;
I'll quaff it if it kills me ! (Here, waiter, fill my glass!)

TWILIGHT.
The shadows are falling, ihe end draweth near,
Sweet voices are calling, long hushed to our ear;
Old, homesick and weary, we're sighing For peace
And rest, after earth's dreary luiling shall cease.
The silvery River that Hows by the Tree
Of Life in fruit ever, in vision we see;
The While Rohed Immortals that throng ihe I lighway
Pass oil our own portals are not tar away.
The Temple up yonder all glorious and fair,
We glimpse ofi and-wonder, and lung 10 be there;
These ever remind us we're Hearing the strand,
And soon far behind us we'll leave sorrow land.
The way often cheerless, not much bright sunshine,
But few leagues were tearless, down all the long line;
The twilight is cheering, our old hearts grow light,
Assures us we're nearmg ihe Land of no night.
'Tis balm for all sorrow, for heartache relief,
It tells us to-morrow we'll be beyond grief;
Be where there's no sadness, and never a sigh,
Where life is all gladness, and none ever die.
THE HUMANITY OF LAFAYETTE.
' The Krosts and Snows of Valley
Forge.
The incident I am about to relate
: occurred in 1821 during Lafay
ette's last visit to this country.
: Fony years had elapsed since his
promise to Washigton to return as
his guest. 1 le was now nearly ;
seventy years old, but his heart ;
beat as warmly for his country as
in those earlier days when he had
fought fur its liberties. A brilliant
; reception was under way. A
i slowly-moving lane of stalely
guesis passed by the Marquis, who
greeted each with courtly grace.
; Presently there approached an old '
j soldier clad in a worn Continental '
I uniform. In his hand was an an
cient musket, and across his shoul-
der was thrown a small blanket .
I or rather a piece of blanket. On
I reaching the Marquis, the veteran
; drew himself up in the stiff fashion
i of the old-time drill and gave ihe
j military salute. As Lafayette
made the return signal, tears siart
! ed to his eyes. The tattered uni
form, the ancient flintlock, silver
haired soldier, even older than
himself, recalled the dear past.
"Do you know me?"asked ihe
soldier. Lafayette's manner had
led him to think himself personally
remembered.
"No I cannot say that I do,"
was the frank reply.
"Do you remember the frosts
and snows of Valley Forge?"
"I shall never forget them,"
answered Lafayetie.
"One bitter night, General, you
were going the rounds at Valley j
i-orge. rou came upon a sentry
in thin clothing and without stock
ings. He was slowly freezing to
death. You look his gun, saying,
'Go 10 my hut. There you will
find stockings, a blanket and a fire.
After warming yourself, bring the
blanket to me. Meanwhile I will
I keep guard.'
; "The soldier obeyed. When
he let tit no J 10 his posl, you, Gen
i 1 alayetle, cui ihe blanket in iwo.
! One half you kepi; ihe other, you
presented io the sentry. Here,
! General, is one half of that blan
I kei, for I am the sentry whose life
1 you saved."

THE BLOSSOMS AND THE DREAMS
Off where the blossoms strew the streams the heart's glad holiday;
We're with the beamy of the dreams, and singing on the way;
Surely, there is no winter, and life's eternal May,
For with the blossoms and ihe dreams we sing along the way.
We sing amid he blossoms, and where the lilies throng,
And the very winds they listen, For the soul is in the song;
The holy light of heaven upon our pathway streams;
O life is worth the living with the blossoms and the dreams !
All earth is singing 'round us and sorrow's in eclipse;
Bend low, O world of blossoms, an kiss Love's lifted lips !
And let him dwell forever where light undying beams
A brother to the violets, with the blossoms and the dreams.

Murphy was a new cavalry
recruit and was given one of
the worst horses in the troop.
''Remember," said the ser
geant, "no one is allowed to
dismount without orders."
Murphy was no sooner in the
saddle than the horse kicked
and Murphy went over his
head.
"Murphy," yelled the ser
geant, when he discovered him
lying breathless on the ground,

"1 did."

EVERY STREET
IN WELDON
Has Its Share of the ProoJ That
Kidney Sufferers Seek.
Backache? Kidneys weak?
Distressed with urinary ills?
Want a reliable kidney remedy?
Don't have to look far. Use
what Weldon people recommend.
F.very street in Weldon has iis
cases.
Here's one Weldon woman's
experience.
Let Mrs. F. T. ('lark, of Seventh
Si., tell it.
Mrs. F. T. Clark, Seventh Si.,
Weldon, N. C.., savs: "I have the
utmost confidence in Doan's Kid
ney Pills, for they have been used
in my family with the best results.
The person who look them was
relieved of kidney complaint and
backache and was also benefited in
oilier ways. I feel justified in giv
ing Doan's Liver Pills my endorse
ment." The above statement must carry
conviction to the mind of every
reader. Don't simply ask for a
kidney remedy ask distinctly for
Doan's Kidney Pills, the same that
Mrs. Clark had the remedy back
ed by home testimony. 50c. all
