The father of ihe condemned youth is a butler in the home of a promi nent family." There are people who claim thut the ties of flood are not as strong in the negro race as in the white that the negro parent does not suf fer the same degree ot sorrow over ii fallen son or daughter that the white parent does. But it all depends. The average negro, of course, by reason of a more limited capacity for the high er and nobler sentiments, is less sensitive to disgrace and more in different to men's opinions. Oc casionally, however, you find a case, like the one related above, where the love of the father or mother for the offending offspring is something pathetic and worthy of our deepest respect and admira tion. Hew white fathers, when put to the test, would voluntarily go to ihe electric chair to save an erring son, and so we say all honor to the Wilmington negro, bowed down with the burden ot a great sorrow.

Your own re flection will set you thinking and wondering if perhaps it is you in stead of the world that is warped. When something goes wrong and you feel like cussing or kick ing the cat there is nothing quite so clliCitcious as looking in the glass. You see yourself as you are and not as perhaps you think you are. All of your hard lines and your ill humor are reflected by the faithful glass, and the mo ment a fleeting smile begins to creep over your face the glass will magnify it and glorify it until in but a short tune you will Jbc for getting entirely your ill humor and will be smiling from the pure ioy of living. Look in the glass. THfi KKiHl AUH. Bert Willis is a very nervous, fidgety young man. While (rav eling on a train one day he chanced to be seated next to a woman who held a baby. The infant's face was covered with a thick veil, and every now and then i! would utter a sharp cry, which the woman en deavored to suppress. Young Willis watched the proceedings with considerable anxiety for some time, and finally, leaning over to ward the woman, asked : "Has - has that baby any -anything contagious, madam ?" The woman turned and looked at him with an expression in which scorn and pity were blended.

When the evenin' shade is fallin' at the endin' o' the day An' a feller rests from labor smokin' his pipe o' clay There's nothing does him so much good, be fortune up or down, As the little country paper from his ol' home town. It ain't a thing o' beauty an' its print ain't always clean, But it straightens out his temper when a feller's leelin' mean. It lakes the wrinkles off his lace an' brushes oH the frown, That little country paper front his old home town. It tells of all the parties an' the halls of Pumpkin row, 'Bout who spent Sunday with his girl an' how the crops 'II grow: How ii keeps a fellow posted 'bout who is up an' who is down, That little country paper from his ol' home town. Now, I like to read the dailies an' the story papers, too. An' at times the yellow novels an' some other trash don't you? But when I want some readin' that will brush away a frown I want that little paper trout mv ol' home town. t " AUNT JEMIMY'S MAXIMS. By Cally Ryland.
