REVERENTLY.
We Say Amen To Judge Clark's
Proposition on the Letters.
Judge (".lark, of the Statesville
Landmark, is handing down some
judicial opinions, "enduring of"
our absence that we heartily en
done We fully agree with many
of his preachments In what he
says herewith concerning the
"chain" letters we shout, rever
enily, "Amen."
"1 lie chain letter business has
i broken out again. If you receive
la "pious" letter from somehody,
with a request that you write nine
similar letters to ninetothers, with
the promise that if you comply you
will receive a blessing and the
threat (by inference) that if you fail
something terrible will happen to 1
you why that's a chain letter.
Everybody has more or less super
stition and these chain letters
frighten some, who are afraid
something will really happen if
they don't comply; and annoy oth
ers, who secretly fear the same
thing, even when they have the
nerve to disregard the request. It's
The Landmark's private opinion,
publicly expressed, that the full
grown individual of sound mind
who sends out these chain letters
ought to be put in jail for misuse
of the mails."
The judge is right. We have
had three or four of those pretend
edly pious letters breathing the
breath of spiritual life and begging
us not to break the chain but
with stolid indifference, regardless
of consequences, the yawning
waste basket received them. The
jail, as the judge says, is the place
for the sender, and the waste bas
ket, we may add, is the place for
the letters Go to it Everything.

YOUR MEASURE.
As you lull from the dawn of the morning
Until the set ol the sun,
Do you see that your work is always
Well and carefully done?
Ii seems that no one is watching;
That the details you well may slight,
But somebody's taking your measure
Are you doing your work just right?
You my toil in a noisy workroom,
In the midst of a busy throng;
And your task seem all but endless,
And the hours weary and long.
Liut after your day's work is finished,
Can you feel that you've played the man?
Somebody's taking your measure,
Are you doing the best you can?
Tho' you're thrown with the crowd, work above them,
Do more than your share; it will pay,
Someone will see and remember the man
Who does well the tasks of each day.
There's always a bigger job waiting,
If you work with a willing grace.
Somebody's taking your measure,
Are you fit for a larger place ?

FKANKLY ADMITTED IT
Senator William Hughes, of
New Jersey, smiled the other
evening when reference was made
to the beauty of frankly admitting
facts, and said he was reminded
of an incident that happened in
Trenton.
Some time ago a charming Bor
dentown girl went to the Jersey
capital to spend a week with a
young woman friend. While
there she was induced to take part
in a church bazaar, and was given
charge of the candy booth. Even
tually a middle-aged man was led
that way.
"They tell me I must buy some
candy," smiled the victim picking
up a box from the booth. "How
much is this?"
"Five dollars," answered the
Bordentown girl, without any visi
ble evidence of conscientious
pangs.
"Urn," thoughtfully returned
the victim, glancing from the can
dy to the girl. "Aren't you a little
dear?"
'Well," coyly rejoined the oth-

AGED MOONSHINE.
WINTER HAPPINESS.
1 want the curtains drawn and snug, I want the coals aglow,
I want the baby on my knee, the mother singing low;
There let the cold winter wind make music in the trees,
And I will never have a thought for summer blooms and bees
1 want the baby in my lap, the children on the floor,
Or gathered round my chair to hear the tales of fairy lore;
Then northern winds may if they will blow up a winter storm,
And we can laugh to hear them blow when our hearts are warm.
With the warm home-roof over us and supper past and done,
Then come the wide-eyed fairy folk and come the romps and fun,
Then comes the howling of the wind outside across the night,
And then the baby hears it howl and gurgles with delight.
The summertime's a glory-time, with birds and bees and blooms;
With gentle winds out of the south and softly breathed perfumes,
With butterflies and honeybees, and roses all aglow,
But hearts draw closer each to each when blasts of winter blow
And so we love the winter time when the gray day has gone,
And when the grate is red with coals and curtains all are drawn,
And when the children laugh and play till time for Slumbertown,
Then kneel beside their mother's knee for their "1 lay me down.'

Tp OO many people make the mistake of thinking
that they must have a considerable sum to
start a savings account.
In the New Holiday Savings Fund just started at
this Bank you can open an account with a penny, or
for as much as you are able.
By adding to it persistently every week your ac
count will soon grow to proportions that will make
you glad.
Open an account NOW, and pave the way for a
merrier Christmas next year.

day, but perhaps one that must

to that end he directed his efforts
and when he passed the one hun
