WELDON, N.( SPECI AL TO WOMEN The moat economical, cleansing and germicidal of all anUaepttca la W JEFFERSON WROTE IT. Franklin's Humor. "It has always been a curious ptiwle why Ben jamin l:ranklin, tlte man of ripe age, of comman ding distinction and of approved literary skill, was not selected to write this Declaration, instead of Thomas JefVeison, then only thirty-three years old aud comparatively un known," says JohnCiilmore Speed in the Saturday livening Post. 'It could not be that Franklin was passed by because he had done everything within his power to avert the war and reconcile the differences between the Colonies and the mother country, for all wise men in the Colonies did all that honor permitted in that direc tion until the die was cast. No, it was not a fear of Franklin's earn estness in the cause of the Colo niesit was probably the fear of Franklin's humor." "He was not only the greatest man of his time but he was one of the greatest humorists of any time. And so his associates were possi bly afraid that he would put a joke in the Declaration and passed him by and selected the lank young Virginian with the freckle- face. "As it was, Franklin did have his joke, for when the members of the Congress were about to sign ! the Declaration, Hancock, whose earnestness is expressed in the bold signature which comes first, said in his own earnest way; "We must be unanimous; we must all hang together.' " 'Yes,' replied Franklin, we must hang together or we shail be pretty sure to hang separately.' " THE FUTURE OF OUR HOPES. "Remember," an orator said recently in a rublic address, "that the present is the future From which we hoped so much." And that remark holds a truth that op timistic people need ponder. For to such natures the future always presents itself in the role of a good fairy, dressed in rainbow color, bringing the desire of their hearts. The mistake of optimistic people is not in expecting loo much of the future, but in exacting too little from the present. The present is the future of your hopes. Grap ple the instant with a firm resolve to make it yield all (hat it promised when it bore the name of by-and-by. There is no calender that gives space to "some day."

Crane, of Forest, Miss., is receiving numerous letters from "Daughters of the Confederacy" from all parts of the country, compli menting him and expressing appreciation for the poem, "The Uncon quered Banner," written by Mr. Crane and recently published on the front page of "Our Heritage." One of the letters which Mr. Crane appreciates very highly, is from Miss Jessica R. Smith, of Henderson, N. C, a daughter of the old veteran, Orrin R. Smith, who designed the model of the Confederate flag which was adopted by the Confederate Congress. In this letter Miss Smith says, "Our flag will never be furled as long as there is a U. D. C. to wear it as her badge." Following is Col. Crane's poem Furl not that banne, :orever display, That flag that inspired The columns of Gray. Barber's supply conversation at cm rales. Ii takes a capable wife to yank the conceit out of a man. Courtship is the frying p in and matrimony is the fire. Love that Iceds on beauiy alone soon starves to death. When some men fail lo make a hit they try to fix the responsibili ty on the hammer. Over fields of carnage, Where thousands were slain, It waved unsullied Not a star was stained. Unfurled in a cause We knew to be just, It was never dishonored, Nor trailed in the dust. Though overpowered, And our hopes were all dead, Willi the old Rag raised Over our heads. State's rights are acknowledged, By America today, As the principles true Defended by the Gray. These principles were taught By Davis and Lee; Unfurled our banner, Resolved to be free. Inspired our heroes, With valor unknown, To honor forever The flag of our own. We fought tor it, died for it, No country can say That braver men lived, Than those of the Gray. Raise higher our banner And greet it today; Those who fought for it Are passing away. Fmblem of State's rights, To the South so dear; Bought of our blood, And loved ones not here. But our cause established And the victory won, We adopt the old flag And defend ii with guns. And now, as one nation, For the glory of all, We stand ever ready For our country's call. Glorious defeat ! The victory is ours, The blood of our martyrs Blooms brighter than flowers. In the land of Dixie, The home of the brave; With our proud old banner Forever to wave. Where the women, God bless them, Le 'Braves, d'brave, Are our uncrowned queens From the cradle to the grave. There Is No Merit In Melancholy. ! It was un observant, wise old philosopher that said we bejfin life with the discovery that all good things are dull, and arc apt to end believing all dull things good. There is no merit in melan choly. On the contrary, a grave man is merely endured, a sorrowful man is only pitied, anil a mo rose cltaracted is detested. A solemn face used to be considered a mark of piety. But today true religion is re lleeteil in bright faces. Moral ity is not a sad condition, but a happy one.. The deep thinkers are by no means self-secluded grouches. Thought comes of vigor, and it invigorates in turn. The best and wisest things are said and written by men and women that mingle joyously with oth ers. Why think It necessary to look upon a melancholy dispo sition as meritorious? It may well be regarded as a nuisance. Why should wo think that we are promoting our interests in this world or commending our selves for tl 10 next by an exhib it of melancholy? And yet, intense solemnity is about the only morality or re ligion in a large part of man kind even today. Over in Paris there is being established a school for the teaching of humor. There may he u (merit inn as to the quality of humor to be developed in this way. Hut any good-natured -or attempt ut it how ever far short of the real arti cle, is better than melancholy. Cheer up ! Nature has made u sense of humor a distinctive mark of humanity. Man is the only animal that laughs. The dogt who smiles by wag ging his tail ami would laugh if ho could, has a better nature than the man so melancholy that he would not laugh if he could and could not if he would. The greatest men in the world have gone down in reverses. but they came up again stron ger for the struggle. It is the men who cannot bo shaken off, who have a bull dog grip and tenacity of pur pose which sees nothing but its goal, that win out in a winning worth while. Patience, grit and determina tion will carry one to victory in spite of overwhelming obstacles. It is the man who tights and holds on when others let go, who never sees defeat even when seemingly overcome, that is in demand everywhere today.

RIND T I m SUNSHINE UK OF GOOD CIIEER-ACTS XXIII. 11. Unhappy is that person who ever lives in the darkness of his own making, for it is not meant this world should be a place of aloom. Else why the sunshine and the waking hours of the glorious day? Night, darkness, slumber, all ht us for the splendor of the sunrise. I he man ot good cheer is the man who looks for the sunshine. He may not find the exact kind of sunshine that he wants, or it mav come a little late, but he will get joy out of the very thought that there is to be sunshine. Bnetly, he who seeks the sunshine is the optimist. Paul, in his epistle to the Phillippians says : "Finally' brethren whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever ihihr.-. .11 1. jit.-.,, ii.nniu uuiikci i'uic, w naisoever tilings are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, ana it mere oe any praise, tnuiK on these tilings. Paul was an opti mist, Paul was a seeker after the sunshine. I ry mat pian tor awnue. i ry 10 nnu the good things, the noble things which are being done in the world. Lift your heads above the clouds of distrust, and suspicion, and doubt, and get into ilie biiiilii sunshine of a belief thai mankind is trying to do the best that it can. And if you find a fellow hard hit, why help him to get along into belter things. Look for the sunshine. Be of good cheer. You will be happier because of doing this, and you will make others happier. Opportuni ties lie all about you for this and you are losing time if you do not gel at it today. Try it all this week at least, and if on next Sunday morn ing you do not find yourself a happier man you will certainly have made some one else happier. And that life is best which is a life of service in behalf ol others. THE LUCK OF FRIDAY. Those of Middle Age Especially.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORI A Those who believe that Friday is an "unlucky" day and many persons have a firm belief in the superstition may well consider this brief list of important histori cal events that happened on Fri day, and then make up their minds whether or not the day deserves its "unlucky" reputation. On a Friday the following incidents oc cured: The Mayflower landed; the Bastile was burned; Moscow was burned; Washington was born; Shakespeare was born; America was discovered; Lincoln was assassinated; Queen Victoria was married; the battle of Maren go was fought; Charles the First was beheaded; the battle of Water loo was fought; Julius Caesar was assassinated; the battle of New Orlcaiis ua fuuKiil, Joan uf Arc was burned at the stake. O WE HER AWAY. ! "You have had that parrot a long time now, Miss Laura, haven't you?" observed Percy Niccfellow to the young lady whom he was making a call. "Oh, yes, several years," was the response. "Very intelligent, is he not ?" went on Percy. "Quite; he can imitate almost everything." "Ah," continued Percy, "they have a remarkably clever bird ai the Browns'. It can imitate the sound of a kiss to perfection. Is that among the accomplishments of our feathered friend in the cor ner r1 "No, it is not, sir!" exclaimed the young lady, indignantly. "Whatever a parrot does is by im itation simply, and it is not likely that our bird would repeat a sound he is certainly not accustomed to hear." Then the parrot chimed in : "No, George, dear!
